Not all pizzas are created equal
It's hard to resist on game day or a busy night - the temptation to pick up the phone and request that a fresh, piping-hot pizza be delivered straight to your door.

Don't get stuck in a diet rut
Our family was stuck in a diet slump. Because my husband and I both have such hectic work schedules, we got into a rut over the years, eating a lot of processed convenience foods.

Our typical dinner was high in fat, starch, sodium and preservatives, and we really were ...

Break out the dessert shoes once in a while
In between technically difficult ankle surgeries and dermatology-heavy diabetic wound care, podiatrists spend a lot of time talking about shoes. Most people take them for granted; they're just another part of your morning routine - something you slip on as you leave the house without realizing they could seriously affect your feet.
Harnessing potassium is key for staying strong
Science long has known that potassium is needed for muscle control. In recent studies done at Tufts University's Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center, researchers found that including potassium-rich fruits and vegetables in our diets has beneficial effects on muscle. More specifically, older adults need potassium-rich fruits and vegetables that produce an alkaline rather than an acidic residue. Many of the foods we eat produce acidic residues in our bodies. With aging, many Americans ...

Running is good for looks, health
When I'm running on Saturday, I won't just be running for appearance's sake - I'll be running for what's inside.

Q: Our 17-year-old is a highly spoiled underachiever. As a junior in high school, he's failing two classes and borderline in the rest.

Where do you think we should start?

Turkey vs. traditional meatballs
