The biggest game of the year is almost here! Sunday's matchup between the Broncos and Panthers is going to watched by many, as the Super Bowl is annually the highest-rated television program of the year. And what do must of us do while we watch the big game? Eat. And for the majority of us, it's not health food.

This first article features some healthy takes on some staples like chicken wings and chili, as well as some suggestions on how...

Good evening, everyone! Hope Wednesday has been good to you. If it hasn't, try to make Thursday a better day.      So, moving to today's health news, here is the first article of the day!

Hey there, everybody! Hope you managed to ring in the New Year happily, healthily, and safely! Now it's time to get serious about those resolutions! There are certainly plentiful pieces being written at this time of year to encourage the new, healthier you. This article was quite enjoyable, though it's devoid of much real advice.
