5-Minute Energizers at Dawn

Dogs and cats always stretch upon awakening. Take the hint. Make the most of your days first minutes by doing some easy exercise in bed.

Everybody’s busy these days. There’s the job that takes up most of each day, sandwiched by a frantic morning and less-than-leisurely evening. Time must be made for kids and/or your significant other. No-fun chores like yard work, fix-it projects and the like eat up weekend hours.

Got Painful Ingrown Toenails?

Tips on avoiding and treating pesky ingrown toenails from the podiatrist.

Almost everyone, at one time or another in their life, has suffered from an ingrown toenail. Often, this first occurs during adolescence, but can occur at any age. The toenail curves into the skin, causing redness, irritation and pain. Most kids don’t complain until their toe is swollen, red, and dripping pus! Don’t worry, Mom, they hide it until they can’t stand the pain anymore. Some older kids (yes, I mean you!) do the same thing with their spouses. Don’t delay ingrown toenail treatment, you don’t have to live with the pain. There are answers, and they are simple, when the toenail is first aggravated, and becomes more complex the nastier the infection. In diabetics and those patients with poor circulation, an ingrown toenail can lead to a toe amputation. Seek treatment when it is a minor annoyance!
