Bugged About Weigh Loss? Read This:

With all the hi-tech help out there for people who need to lose weight, it’s amazing how high the obesity rate is in “the lands of plenty.” That phenomenon has not passed by our little homeland;  now that Israel is a member of  the OECD, we, too have “grown,” and a recent OECD poll says that Israel is  the eighth “fattest” country in the world, by percentage of population!

In Time of Need

It may be February, but summer will be here soon enough. And you know what that means: Vacation time! And while most folks will try to get away for awhile to locations near or far, there are always going to be an unfortunate few who “get” to see the inside of a place they would rather not have to tour – the hospital! It’s always the furthest thing from most peoples’ minds, especially for those in good health. Nobody wants to think of themselves as an accident victim, …
