UNITED STATES—Commitment. It is a word that many of us fear. However, it is a commitment that pushes us to accomplish things that we sometimes ignore. One of the biggest commitments I wanted to make starting the New Year was to get more exercise in. Things were not great in January, and yes I can blame COVID-19 for that,...

UNITED STATES—The resolution for 2021 for so many Americans is to eat better. I know it was at the top of my list because the quarantine 15 was a real issue for a vast majority of Americans. It is one thing to eat bad because you want to; it is another thing to not be healthy because you have...

UNITED STATES—We can sit here and ignore the elephant in the room if we want, but the truth remains, many Americans put on a bit of weight as a result of the big quarantine that transpired from mid-March thru July. In some states it was even longer if you ask me. I know for one that I put on...

UNITED STATES—Health, it’s a loaded word, especially when people ask you how is your health. We are always inclined to say all is great, even in some incidents where that may not be the case.

UNITED STATES—Spring has finally arrived America and with that being said I’m seeing more and more people outdoors. As soon as the weather gets slightly warm it’s like you see a complete change in the personality of people. I mean kids are outside playing, adults are running or jogging, the bicycles are out and yard work is being completed....

UNITED STATES—You might think from reading the TITLE this story might have something to do with mental health or psychology and you would be wrong. This column is more about the importance of exercise and how for so many Americans it’s more of a mental battle over everything else. Why would I make such a claim? It’s because I told...

UNITED STATES—The past 2 weeks have been loaded with football games on television. Between the NFL heading into the playoff season, and college football with their endless bowl games, it’s enough to have people sitting on the couch for days. So you might be asking yourself why I’m addressing this issue. Well, it’s forcing people to get too comfortable...

UNITED STATES—Exercise, I dread it, but I know in my bones it is something I have to do, even if I’m burnt out and exhausted. When you exercise it helps you stay active, and at the same time improves your overall health. You cannot just sit in the bed or on the couch all day and eat junk and...
