And because holiday parties typically mean a lot of driving out and about to attend these parties, my first recommendation is just not to drink at all! But if

Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

This week, many of us are heading into the holidays. And as you head into a week of parties and connection and warmth and pot lucks and FOOD… I can think of no better holiday gift than this: To share with you, directly from the medical literature, the truth that saturated fat does NOT increase mortality. It’s not about the fat… saturated fat intake does not increase rate of death.
