I've had problems sleeping since I started having kids.  I thought I had apnea because my husband says I snore.   Yes, I know that's super sexy. Turns out I have a disproportionately large tongue (also super sexy), which causes my snoring.  My early morning job and three kids keep me from falling and staying asleep!

If you think you've got this whole life thing figured out, here's a list that might change your mind. Check out six everyday things you might be doing wrong.

This Saturday, April 6, plan to attend Bozeman Deaconess Health Services (BDHS) for a day dedicated to the health and wellness of your family.

I already eat like this (with a few cheats), but I had no idea just how effective it is!

Sure, if you stuff enough cold, hard cash down your gullet, your belly will probably stick out like an overfed oil exec. Same with fat. Fat keeps us full, and healthy fats like those found in seafood and many plants help protect against heart disease. B

A new study suggests that knocking back a glass of red wine could have similar health benefits to that of working out, in terms of maintaining muscle mass and bone strength.

Right now, I am relatively 'unplugged.'  My computer at home is not working.  So, no iTunes, no gossip sites, no long emails, and no shopping!  I now realize, I spend way too much time on the computer at home, and way too much money on stuff I don't need...

The Food Pyramid has been revamped by the USDA.  Is this something you even pay attention to?  What do you think of the new "pyramid"? ~Erin The food pyramid, which since 1992 has demonstrated the proper amount of grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy and meat a person should consume per day, is no more...
