Do you have restless leg syndrome (RLS)? If not, surely you know someone who does. Those of us with RLS tend to kind of whine about it (I may be projecting…). Now comes real reason to whine. Not only is RLS a pain in the rear, it appears to have some connection...

I just did a quick gut check on my blogging efforts over the past year. Who really cares about what I believe and what I know about life insurance? Who reads this and really believes that I can do what I claim? I have had more than just a little interest in weblogs...

During this time of year when the focus should be all about family, fun and the joy of having survived another one (year that is), there looms an annual health challenge that can ruin all the plans and hopes of the season. The Christmas/New Year’s season is also...

Even tempered that is! In case you haven’t been out of your house in the last 10 years, it is an increasingly angry society that we live in. That is one of the primary reasons I live in a small town. People are a little more laid back and things like road rage...

After the FDA recently took rather extreme action by forcing Avandia to boldly mark it’s bottles with warnings that the drug can cause heart attacks, Avandia took another hit. It seems that some studies had shown an increased incidence of broken bones among...

In a post a few months ago I had mentioned the concern over studies that showed a potential link between the diabetes drug Avandia and heart attacks. Well, the FDA boldly stepped out and muddied the waters today in a way that only a government agency can do. There are...

Every year about 1.5 million Americans have heart attacks and for about 500,000 of them, that is the end of the road. If that half a million had known how to read the signs, many of them would have taken the right turn and would be around today. Myocardial infarction,...

I know there is logic galore for putting off the purchase of life insurance until just the right time, or until you’re just the right weight, or until your cholesterol is just the right level…..and the logic fails completely when you drop dead before you...

I remember back when I was distance running competitively, reading an article about a marathon runner who had died of a massive heart attack. With no research, I came to the conclusion that a heart attack while running was probably an unstoppable death. If you think...

One of the hard facts is that people with type 2 diabetes are at a higher risk of heart disease and heart attacks than the average person. There has been growing concern among physicians that some of the medications used to control type 2 diabetes might also...

I have focused so much attention on the impact that obesity can have on a person’s overall health that, honestly, it never occurred to me to look at a far more common occurrence. What kind of impact does a person sustain if they gain10 or 15 pounds? If I were...

We’ve talked about the effects of stress on health and we’ve even talked about how mild stress channeled effectively can increase productivity. I’ve shared a few times what a huge relief a vacation is to the overall stress of especially work life....

Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA), or mini strokes occur when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked temporarily. With a TIA, the blockage, usually a blood clot, sticks in place long enough to cause symptoms, and then moves on and is absorbed by the body without...

Mitral valve prolapse sounds a little ominous, and to see the knee jerk reaction some life insurance companies have when they underwrite it, you would swear it was right up there with heart attacks. Not so. Mitral valve prolapse is simply a slight thickening in one of...

There really isn’t anything funny about this situation, but I always find myself shaking my head and thinking how odd it is! I talked to a man who inquired about life insurance today. He had an extraordinary health history. He had type 2 diabetes diagnosed about...
