SIP Descpripions
Diabetes
Take a revealing quiz to learn your risk of this epidemic disease that can boost your risk of heart attack, stroke, even cancer--then learn a few simple lifestyle tips to reduce your odds.
This special will also uncover the three warning signs of a pre-diabetic syndrome affecting 47 million Americans while providing six fixes to reduce your risk to zero.
Learn the easiest exercise to lower blood sugar, the best ways to love the veggies you hate, and how to reduce stress, which can boost blood sugar levels as much as a chocolate cupcake.
Baby Boomers
More than 75 millions Americans make up the largest generation in U.S. history, and they're marching inexorably toward their senior years with a desire to stay young--and alive--as long as possible.
This special will help them with some of their unique problems, such as pain and arthritis (now epidemic among Baby Boomers), the risk for diseases like cancer and heart disease that rises with age, and memory loss (we'll offer 15 ways to grow smarter as you grow older), as well as sleep, hearing, and menopause problems.
Weight Loss
This special will offer a comprehensive plan for losing weight, flattening your belly, and keeping those pounds from coming back through a combination of diet, weight-loss, and lifestyle tips.
This multi-part weight-loss plan will help you control portions, curb cravings, enjoy exercise (really!), and blast plateaus. And it will work even if you think you're "just too busy."
Alternative Health
Alternative medicine isn't so alternative anymore. In fact, many MDs now offer massage therapy, acupuncture, and even herbs to patients because there's more scientific research than ever showing that some natural remedies really work.
This special will help you discover the treatments that are good for what ails you and avoid those that will just lighten your wallet. Learn, for example, whether echinacea will really stop a cold dead--plus add six other natural infection fighters to your medicine cabinet. Which spa treatments work and which don't? We tell all. Which alternative medicine treatments are best for your particular problems? The top researchers in the country reveal the findings of their studies, which will help you make informed decisions about your health.
