Mom always said to take my vitamins. Actually she really didn’t, and the truth is that she wasn’t all that big on taking vitamins herself. Who would have ever thought that if she had been taking vitamins regularly and specifically vitamin D, she may not...

How often have I said it’s all about mortality? That is the bottom line for life insurance underwriters. The better the survivability of any health issue, the better the underwriting and subsequent life insurance rates. A recent Washington Post article provided...

How often do we hear it? A friend or family member has had a heart attack or been diagnosed with cancer at an age that is just, well….wrong! We expect health problems and death when someone gets into their 80’s. It’s not nearly so common in their...
