    [Health-and-Fitness:Beauty] Face lifts are one of the most serious surgeries you can have when it comes to cosmetic surgery.

  • Chocoholics Rejoice - Chocolate is Healthy
    [Health-and-Fitness] I've always considered chocolate to be one of the most decadent, satisfying and unquestionably addictive foods on this earth (along with countless other women, I'm sure).

  • American Obesity: Portions Gone Wild
    [Health-and-Fitness:Obesity] used to be one of those people who did not like to go to the higher end, gourmet or "healthy" restaurants.

Now I realize they had it right.

  • Public Breast Feeding: Still Taboo?
    [Health-and-Fitness:Womens-Issues] In this day and age of feminism and women's liberation, it's hard to believe that public breast feeding is still considered somewhat of a "taboo".
