Gardening is more than a relaxing hobby — it is a practical, research-supported activity that can promote bone health and help prevent osteoporosis across the lifespan. About 90% of peak bone mass is built before age 20, making childhood and adolescence a critical window for prevention. ...
DEAR DR. ROACH: About six years ago, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I chose to have a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which ultimately wasn’t successful. I was told that surgery after an HIFU was a high-risk option, so I chose to have radiation therapy to reduce the surgical ...

The grownups, as always, were rude. They laughed at our TV heroes in the 1960s — Batman and Robin, Secret Squirrel, Secret Agent 86 Maxwell Smart, Space Ghost and Lance Link, Secret Chimp and other defenders of justice. “They’re just trying to sell you toys,” the grownups scoffed. The ...

I told you so! Not YOU specifically. Science. I called it in these very pages way back in 2012. It was the only thing that made sense. Sure, I was a little shaky the time that I insisted that the octopus is the spider of the sea. Maybe my plan to raise a breed of roof goats to keep moss ...
“I’m not a complete idiot,” the sign stated. “Some parts are missing.” The next sign over read: “If I had a dollar for everything I’ve lost… I’d probably lose that too.” Mankind’s most popular hobby just might be losing things. I had the statistics to confirm that but, ...
I was doing laundry the other day — yes, this is where we are now, folks. Riveting stuff happening over here. And I couldn’t help but think about how, just a year ago, I was days away from boarding a plane, heading overseas, alone, chasing something bigger than my everyday routine. Funny ...
I’ve realized something about myself. I am, unapologetically, a 7 p.m. girl in a 9 p.m. world. In the winter, this works in my favor. The sun clocks out at 5 p.m., and suddenly my entire personality feels validated. Dinner? Done. Shower? Taken. Comfy clothes? On. By 7 p.m., I’m curled up ...
I’d like to believe we all daydream — just in different ways. Not always the big, cinematic kind (though I’m not opposed to perfect lighting and a slow walk on the beach), but the quieter ones that slip in between school dropoffs, grocery runs and the emails that somehow multiply when ...
I couldn’t help but wonder…when did “Who are you?” become a job interview? Not the kind where you sit across from someone in a stiff chair, but the everyday version. The one that happens in passing. At events. In line for coffee. In those in-between moments where two humans meet and, ...
In my earlier years of gardening, I was attracted to and purchased unusual plants. Many of those didn’t survive beyond their first year. As I have “matured,” I have redirected my purchases toward the easy-to-grow natives that feed our local pollinators. The hotter, drier summers have ...

As I watched a woodpecker banging away at a tree, it made me think, why don’t woodpeckers get headaches or suffer brain trauma from all that drumming? So, I looked it up. Once again, nature has created a miracle that does not allow the woodpecker to get headaches or become dizzy. ...
Our temperatures have continued to fluctuate, but our winter weather will eventually remain colder and the darkness will cause us to bundle up, keeping ourselves warm. The days are gaining minutes of light in the morning and evening, but it will be a couple of months before we notice ...
