Spring is in the air (or close to it - what’s the official day? March 20?) and while many people like to kick their dieting and exercise programs up a notch or two to shed those extra winter pounds, there are some foods you might not want to want to cut back on when you’re […]
Today is No Smoking Day over in the UK. *waves across the ocean to Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei*
In honor of that, I wanted to write about the mental health risks associated with smoking - you know, because the physical health problems are pretty well covered. However, I was unable to find much reliable and concrete information […]
They’re all part of this week’s Saturday Sanity!
It’s not unusual to skim through the other b5media Science & Health Channel blogs and find mental health-related discussions going on. Here are a few from this week:

I’ve attempted this shot several times, and was thrilled that my camera finally flashed at the precise moment to catch one of her “curious […]
It’s almost 4 a.m. this Saturday morning; I’m awake a drinking my second cup of coffee. Wouldn’t be too abnormal a situation for me if I had gone to bed at a reasonable hour; however, I went to be between midnight and 1 a.m.
Oh, it would also make more sense if I hadn’t taken a […]
