HEALTH & WELLNESS

WELLNESS-I’ve never put much weight on standardized tests. As far as I’m concerned, SAT exams are a better measure of how many prep courses you can afford, and IQ tests don’t really translate to real-world intelligence. For years, I dumped standardized personality tests into this same bucket.

WELLNESS--Nearly 50,000 members of the United Auto Workers began striking recently, demanding that General Motors pay them their fair share of the billions in profits the company raked in last year.

WELLNESS--Watch out, older Americans and people with disabilities! President Trump just announced a plan to give corporate health insurers more control over your health care.

WELLNESS--Does your brain feel tired, lethargic or overtaxed at times?

Do you feel that your brain cannot comprehend and sulks in your tiresome routine? Is focusing difficult for you paired with a weak memory?

WELLNESS--The thought of having ovarian cysts likely sounds terrifying, especially if you’ve never dealt with one before.

WELLNESS-Sleep is essential for our bodies to function. When we can’t get the rest we need, our emotional, mental and physical state can be so profoundly affected that it can be dangerous.

WELLNESS--The cost of healthcare increases every year leaving many people struggling to pay for rising insurance premiums and medical bills. In just two years (between 2015 and 2017), the cost of healthcare rose 14 percent. 

WELLNESS--In recent years, bipolar disorder has been discussed more openly. More public figures have been candid about their experience with the condition, including Demi Lovato, Mariah Carey, Russell Brand and Catherine Zeta-Jones. And the conversation around mental health only continues to grow.
