aren't the only professionals who come into contact
with people in pain. So does just about anyone whose
business attracts seniors. "I'd have to say
the majority of my customers are retirees, and many
of them complain about pain so bad, it keeps them

| Despite
the fact that eggs provide the highest quality protein
of any food, they're a real protein bargain. It's
easy to compare the price of eggs to the price of
other protein foods. A dozen Large eggs weigh 1
1/2 pounds, so the price per pound of Large eggs
is two-thirds of the price per dozen. For example,
if Large eggs cost 90 cents per dozen, they're only
60 cents per pound. At $1.20 per dozen, Large eggs
are just 80 cents per pound. There isn't another
high-quality protein food that can compare. More

| All
fat is not equal. Scientists now see the excess
fat around one's waist as a more dangerous health
threat than fat stored in other parts of the body.

| Most
of us have taken a prescription medication for one
condition or another at some point. While we may
get a brief explanation from our doctor about the
drug, most people will not take the extra steps
to ensure they are using the medication as safely
or effectively as they can be. In fact, by taking
a few simple steps -- and asking some basic questions
-- patients can greatly reduce the chance of harm.

beneficial or "good" bacteria normally
found in your body. These "good" microorganisms
aid in digestion and keep the bad bacteria at bay.
As many as 500 species of bacteria call your digestive
