Meanwhile there are things that are much more likely to happen to you — like getting sick — which many of us don’t prepare for at all. So to help you get started, here are five important tips on how you can become a healthcare survivalist: 1.  Take care of your chronic conditions. Whether it’s high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, depression, asthma or any other kind of ailment, do what it takes to manage your own care. Take your medications and follow your doctors’ instructions. Why? Because if you don’t, your condition can get worse and lead to even more serious problems. As much of a pain as it may (...

I learned that lesson all too well during the birth of my first son when, after 10 hours of labor jump-started by a pitocin drip, I finally got an epidural. Nothing — and I mean nothing – has ever felt as good as the ebbing of that pain. I relearned the lesson during the birth of the second son, this time determined to go natural all the way when, after a few hours, I told the doula to “shut up” and ordered my husband to hunt down the anesthesiologist and “Get me an epidural — NOW!” He listens well. By the time the third son was born, I had the drill down pat. I was admitted to the hospital to be induced again but this time, as soon as the IV was hooked up and before the first labor pain hit, I had the anesthesiolo...

At age 34, Piper Kerman went to federal prison for a ten-year-old drug smuggling and money laundering offense. She spent 13 months in a minimum-security correctional facility for women in Danbury, CT, which isn’t necessarily what you’d expect from a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Smith graduate and Red Sox fan from a nice, New England family. Piper’s excellent memoir about her prison experience, Orange Is the New Black, was just published by Random House – with back cover blurbs by Dave Eggers and Elizabeth Gilbert (not bad for a first-time writer). Piper sat down with Blisstree for the afternoon to discuss all aspects of her time locked up, from prison beauty products, fitness routines, and friendships to the torturous six years...

Eat right. Exercise. Reduce stress. But a new report confirms that the majority of Americans are doing just the opposite. They say “exercise rates have dropped, fruit and vegetable intake has also fallen” over the last two decades, while more and more Americans have become obese. In fact, if experts had to give Americans a “grade” of sorts, it would be about a C minus. However, not to be completely down-in-the-mouth about things, the report also stresses that it’s never too late to change. Image: sxc.hu.

They are: • Beans • Dark green leafy vegetables • Citrus fruit • Sweet potatoes • Berries • Tomatoes • Fish with omega-3 fatty acids • Whole grains • Nuts • Fat-free milk and yogurt These foods have high “fiber, potassium, healthy fats, magnesium and antioxidants.” And here’s a secret for those non-diabetics out there: these foods are good for you, too! Everyone should try and incorporate more of these into their diet. Image: sxc.hu.

If you’re anything like me, stress greatly affects your blood sugar. I was reminded about that this past weekend. We had some sad family news and then I had the added stress of trying to bake, finish Christmas cards, and deal with an extra work project. In trying to “fit it all in” I found my blood sugars somewhat up and down, despite eating and working out the same. My husband (smart guy that he is) suggested I take a rest. Ease up a bit.
