Health Tips of the Week

  • Coffee and exercise create a synergy that heals sun-damaged skin preventing skin cancer. So after your early morning jog have a cup of coffee.
  • Some people take aspirin without ever having a problem with their stomach. Others develop low-grade stomach pain or get an ulcer. A few develop gastrointestinal bleeding. But coated or buffered aspirin doesn't do much to help, according to the Harvard Heart Letter.

  • Men who are hostile and prone to frequent intense feelings of anger and depression could be harming their immune systems and putting themselves at risk for coronary heart disease as well.
