By Cheyenne Buckingham 

 “Your daily lifestyle habits play a big role in shaping how you feel today, and how you age in the future,” 

I've always been a simple man with simple tastes. Both in the things I own and the way I live my life.

How to Mark Time

 Without Holidays

When holidays no longer anchor the calendar the way they once did, weeks and months can begin to blur together. Marking time doesn’t require celebrations or special occasions — it works best when it’s built into ordinary life in quiet, repeatable ways.

We are one week away from the first day of spring. And boy, I can't wait.

It's not so much that it has been a bad winter, as winters go. But it has been a dark and stormy one. The number of cloudy, damp, dreary days has far outnumbered the sunny ones. And for me, a person who craves sunshine and the healing effects of natural vitamin D, this winter has been a bummer.

- In many countries, dietary supplements are regulated as food products rather than drugs, which means they are not subject to the same rigorous testing for safety and efficacy.

-  Supplements can help fill nutritional gaps, but they should not replace a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

-  Some supplements can interact with medications or other supplements, potentially causing harmful effects. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting new supplements.

-  The quality and purity of supplements can vary widely between brands. Look for products certified by third-party organizations to ensure safety and potency.

-  While many supplements are marketed for various health benefits, scientific evidence supporting these claims is often limited or inconclusive. It’s important to rely on reputable sources and research.
