The Connection Between a Healthy Marriage and a Healthy Heart

Are Our Children Winning the Race to Obesity?
Dear Mr. Dad: Everyone knows about the crisis of overweight and obese kids. With the Winter Olympics just a few weeks away, I got to wondering whether so many kids being fat and out of shape will affect the United States’ ability to compete (not necessarily in these Olympics, but in the future).

How Is a Vasectomy Reversal Like a Sunday Drive?
Are you an informed decision maker? You probably are if you are an accident-free car driver. Because good driving involves high speed processing of enormous amounts of data, together with quick and virtually reflexive decision-making.
