When Parents Feel Alone and Adult Kids Feel Overwhelmed
Being an adult these days is really busy. Our jobs take up a lot of time we spend a lot of time traveling to and from work. We have other things we do on the side that take up our weekends.

Why Life Gets Better After 50
If you think about life as a picture of how happy people are we have always thought it looks like a hill that goes up and then comes down. You start out when you are young and things get better and better you reach the top when you are in the middle of your life. Then it starts to get worse and worse as you get older.. What if we have been looking at this picture the wrong way? Some new research about how people think and feel is showing us that it is actually shaped like a U. When people are in the middle of their life they are often very busy and stressed out and they are not as happy as they used to be.

The Foundation of Balance: Why Ankles Matter More Than Core Strength
When balance becomes a concern, the conversation often turns toward core strength. While the core plays an important role in posture and movement, balance itself starts much closer to the ground.
