In our multitasking, go-go world, it seems hopelessly antiquated to consider how sleeping more or better can actually boost your productivity. But it’s a proven fact. Modern science only underscores how important a good night of sleep can be.

You’re probably aware that a number of studies have found that drinking red wine may have some health benefits. Others seem to show a correlation between moderate drinking of any alcohol and either a resistance to some diseases or a longer lifespan.
Experiments have shown that moderate alcohol intake—roughly one drink a day for women or two a day for men—can reduce inflammation, promote healthy cholesterol levels, improve insulin resistance and help blood vessels function properly.

Greetings from the Oregon coast where I’m living my dream.
I’m living well. The great thing is, “living well” by my definition doesn’t cost much money at all. That’s because my definition of living well isn’t about, well, “stuff.” Let me explain:
