Most of the allegations leveled at coffee seemed to make sense. After all, the image most of us have of the coffee-swilling caffeine addict typically was that of an unhealthy person living an unhealthy lifestyle anyway. With a cigarette in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other, this stereotypical … [Read more...]

5 Foods With Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Not too long ago, at the annual Toronto Waterfront Marathon in Canada, Fauja Singh completed the race in 8 hours, 25 minutes and 16 seconds. Not a very remarkable time when you consider that the winner finished more than 6 hours earlier. However, his race time was incredibly remarkable and inspiring because Mr. Singh was 100 years old. At first I thought it must have been a typo... is it really possible for anyone at the age of 100 to run an entire marathon? After seeing Mr. Singh's stats, not only is it possible, but considering that several people half his age finished behind him makes his race time that much more impressive. Not only that, but as I dug deeper into Fauja Singh's story I … [Read more...]
