Layne Beachley is regarded as the best female professional surfer in history. I was sad to read on Sporty Sistas that Beachley has felt the unending pressures of body image that her career has placed upon her. This is big news since this is someone whose ego should be boosted – she’s won the World [...]

When health and technology meet, a scary thing happens: there’s an obesity problem. Check out this hilarious video about the Wii Fit, the latest invention to keep kids fat. I love this video! My favorite part is when the narrator says, “Instead of having your kids get outside to play and get exercise, why not [...]

As I posted earlier in my Ranting About Red bull piece, energy drinks should be NOT be consumed by kids and teens.

Online searches via Google for the drug amantadine spiked on early last week after the drug played a prominent role in the medical drama “House.” In terms of digital health, as the Washington Post accurately points out, this is important for one key reason.

There has been a lot in the news lately about obesity, health and basically how American’s can’t seem to close their mouths when it comes to food. However, there is also a lot in the news lately about rising oil prices, and –even worse — a global food crisis. But, in the face of a [...]

Ok, I have to admit: when I first read this article I started to laugh. Apparently, the Wii Fit is causing quite a stir. Apparently, it told a 10-year-old that she is obese, and obesity experts are outraged. In today’s society of youth and multimedia, I first thought the Wii Fit could be a good [...]

I’m just another not-so-typical-20-something just-out-of-college overly altruistic and obnoxious about it pretentious individual… who has no idea what tomorrow will bring. I moved about a year ago – three hours from home to the beautiful greater Washington, DC metropolitan area. I came to this place of one-too-many cocktails, suits and high heels because I wanted [...]
