Women are leading the game. Nowadays, women are not just in the bleachers watching men play it rough in the field. Now they are turning the tables and showing that women, too, are ready to conquer the field.

Sports are not only good for women as an outlet to show their competitive side. It can also change their lives by helping them to be healthier with regular physical activity through training.

This is the reason why everyone is encouraged to get moving and be more active.

What’s wrong with the Yankees’ Luis Severino? There are only theories | Klapisch

Violin07/07/2023 53 Views

NEW YORK – Ever since those sunny, carefree days in spring training, when the Yankees looked great on paper and the road to October was a lock, they counted on the starting rotation to become the armor. And why not?

Lining up behind Gerrit Cole, the Bombers had power (Carlos Rodon and Luis Severino), deception (Nestor Cortes) and a greyhound with a killer curve ball (Domingo German). There it was — the shifting of the tectonic plates the franchise had been waiting for since 2009.

Except none of it has gone according to plan. Not one thing. Injuries and inconsistencies

Don’t retire from living a healthy life!

Violin07/07/2023 64 Views

In 1985, I gave health talks in retirement communities. The audience members were independent adults with an average age of 70. I started out by saying, “What is your 10-year plan? What do you want to be doing when you are 80 years old?” There were a lot of surprised, quizzical faces looking back, and inevitably someone would stage a whisper, “I hope I’m still breathing!”

This always got a chuckle, and then I’d ask, is that really all you want to be doing — just breathing? No matter what age you are now, many people are outliving their projected

Healthy Living: The tragic inequality of human beings

Violin06/07/2023 52 Views

When there was no communication from the submersible craft, everyone around the world watched as fleets of aircraft and other naval vessels flew over and under the Atlantic…

Between midnight on June 14 and midday on June 17, while continents away from each other on separate oceans, the inherent inequality between human beings was, tragically, on all our screens in front of our transfixed eyes.

Unless you were in a cave with bad WiFi, it was impossible not to bear witness, via satellite link, to the event which exposed the darkest angels of our species.

On June 17, several hundred

Harvey Edwards, aged 19, went to hospital on June 6 and it’s understood he had been taking medication for a sinus infection but his symptoms got worse.

Immune resilience is the key to a long and healthy life

Violin05/07/2023 59 Views

From NIH Director’s Blog

Do you feel as if you or perhaps your family members are constantly coming down with illnesses that drag on longer than they should? Or, maybe you’re one of those lucky people who rarely becomes ill and, if you do, recovers faster than others.

It’s clear that some people are generally more susceptible to infectious illnesses, while others manage to stay healthier or bounce back more quickly, sometimes even into old age. Why is this? A new study from an NIH-supported team has an intriguing answer [1]. The difference, they suggest, may be explained in part

People often think of siblings as ready-made friends, but that’s not always the case.

After confiding in a friend about a problem I was having with my sister, she said, “It’s just me and my mom — you’re lucky to have a mom and a sister.” This friend, who is the only child, insists that family always comes first.

Except she wasn’t exactly practicing what she preached. A few
