I Can Finally See
A certain song has had an absolute chokehold on my life over the last year and a half and I want to share.

The air in there
Winter’s cold is still here, the windows have been closed for months, the heat is running and the humidifier appears to have found a permanent home in the bedroom. It can be tough to keep the air inside homes of high quality during the winter.

The Year of the Asian-American Football Player

John Lee, a Korean, was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1986 NFL draft but lasted only one year in the NFL. Dat Nguyen, of Vietnamese ancestry, played 7 seasons for the Cowboys from 1999–2005.

Easing the Ache
Muscle pain and muscle aches are part of life and can happen to just about everyone. Whether they’re from tension, stress, a sports injury or a medical condition, everyday living can sometimes be a literal pain in the neck — and exacerbate related bodily aches, too.

Is a plant-based diet right for you?
To many, the thought of giving up barbecued chicken, steak and pork chops doesn’t sound too appealing. But if you’re trying to eat better, that doesn’t necessarily mean you must pass up your favorite main course to fill up on a salad. Some research shows that when plant-based foods are the star of diets — with meat, fish, dairy and eggs playing supporting roles — people (sometimes called flexitarians) may lead healthier lives than meat eaters.
The keto diet is back, but is it balanced?
