                         We lead busy lives—we work, spend time with our children or grandchildren, exercise, and even squeeze in date nights with our partners. There are only 24 hours in a day, and sometimes it’s hard to fit in regular health screenings. However, those appointments could catch gynecologic cancers early on—when it’s most treatable. There are five types of gynecological cancers: cervical, uterine, ovarian, vaginal and vulvar. Risk factors for these cancers include contracting HPV, being 60 or older, family histo...

While you might think you’re too young to be concerned about hHip pain is common for women of all ages, and it’s important to see your healthcare provider to ensure it is, in fact, hip pain you’re feeling rather than thigh, buttock or lower back pain.

                         When we think of electrolytes, it’s often in the form of a bottle of a sports’ energy drink after a hard workout or drinking a rehydration beverage when we’re sick. Those are great methods for hydration, but keeping your electrolytes balanced is also a way to support your heart’s health and well-being. Here are five electrolytes that have been shown to boost heart health—no blue liquid required: Calcium regulates and maintains heart rhythm and blood pressure.

Myth: Only women have to worry about breast cancer. Fact:  Though breast cancer is less common in men, it is more likely to be fatal. The CDC reported 2,300 new cases of male breast cancer in 2017. Myth: You can find all lumps with a self-exam. Fact: Breast cancer doesn’t always cause lumps, and if bumps do develop, it could mean cancer has spread to your lymph nodes. While y...

According to the Pew Research Center, 45 percent of moms with kids younger than 6 years say parenting is tiring all or most of the time. How can you make the adjustment easier? You took breastfeeding and prenatal classes, read every book you could get your hands on, and soaked up all the advice you could get from friends and family.

                         What’s That Sound? Clicking, cracking, grinding, popping, snapping — these are all common and generally harmless sounds our joints can make. It’s a natural part of aging, and the sound could be the result of one of these conditions: As cartilage wears away, your bones grind or rub each other. This causes the sound you are hearing. Tight muscles and tendons can make sounds when moving over bone or as it returns to its original position. When you pop or crack a joint like your knuckles, you’re releasing n...
