How often have you talked yourself out of doing something you want to do? How many times have you said, “I’m not ready,” or “I don’t have time”? If, like most of us, the answer is many, you’re likely letting self-doubt and fear run your life. Self-doubt is very sneaky. It masks itself as a […]
A new study was released recently that makes a connection between the regular intake of berries, like strawberries and blueberries, and a reduced risk of heart attacks in women.

But that’s not going to make anything better. Especially not your coronary arteries. Or your muffin top. So I’ve rounded up some healthier options–and snack […]
