Exercise your body and your brain.
Last month I started a series on being proactive when it comes to your health. Where proactivity is most important is in the maintenance of brain health. Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can get its foothold in your brain 20 or 30 years before you have any...
Sleep: the medicine with healthy side effects.

In this high-tech, digital-crazed culture, schools seem to be emphasizing the business hard skills to the detriment of the essential basic soft skills. For example, as reported in a Toronto Star article, a 2015 study showed “a staggering 83% of educational...
