Not only does a healthy sex life boost mood, but there is growing evidence to show it boosts your physical well-being, too - from increasing longevity to reducing the risk of erectile dysfunction and even heart attack.

Considering this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I though this would be a good post.
There's no part of our bodies that we obsess about more than our breasts. Even those of us not prone to health anxiety wonder which, if any, of our everyday habits are upping our odds of getting breast cancer.

1. Fight free Radicals – Free radicals, small unstable oxygen molecules, attach to other cells of the body and break them down. The skin protein collagen is particularly susceptible to free radicals, which cause the collagen molecules to break down and re-link up a different way, which in turn makes them become stiff and less mobile.

In Gingrich mold, a new voice for solid resistance in Republican
By Adam Nagourney
Published: February 14, 2009 (International Herald tribune)

This battle has vaulted Cantor to the front lines of his party as it tries to recover from the losses of November.
