Keep Your Spice Rack On Track For Fall Flavors  
Have the cooler temperatures and turning leaves got you thinking of flavors like pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon? For many, fall means comfort foods and incorporating spicy autumn flavors into homemade chili and stews and holiday baking.  Herbs and spices not only add wonderful flavors, but they also add the healthy benefit of allowing cooks to use less added fats, sugar and salt when creating flavorful meals.  The fresher the spice, the more great flavor.  So, when was the last time you checked out your spices?  Do they still have a bright color, or a strong fragrance?  Read on for tips to help keep your spice rack on track...

The Power of Sleep  
I spent a very restless night this week and thought I probably wasn't the only one.  We all have trouble sleeping from time to time, but when insomnia persists day after day, it can become a real problem. Beyond making one tired and moody, a lack of sleep can have serious effects on our health, increasing our propensity for obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.

Stay Healthy, Drink Water  
Most people know the importance of drinking a lot of water during the spring and summer.  It is important to drink plenty of water during the fall and winter as well.  Hot and dry air can dehydrate you in the summer time, but did you know dry cooler weather can dehydrate you too?  Before talking about how much water your body needs, we need to address some myths around hydration.
