This spring, I saw temperatures hit 80 degrees one day and then 45 degrees a day or two later. For many of us who love to garden,
Over the past few years, I’ve written a number of posts about new and exciting research that offer promising results for treating cancers, dementia and other health issues.

To be clear, I’m not saying that quitting my multiple-times-a-day dessert habit cold turkey—during the sugariest time of the year, no less—wasn’t hard.

People with diabetes who regularly eat nuts may be less likely to develop heart disease than their counterparts who rarely if ever, consume nuts, a US study suggests.
