It really is important to take stock of your health in the winter, but also be awre of others since close quarters can lead to increased infections

I think that health care reform is a great idea. I have type 1 diabetes and for me to get insurance, it was a nightmare until I found "Wise Health Insurance" search for them online and you can get affordable health insurance instantly.

1. High cholesterol is not a "health woe."

2. The primary cause of winter flu is vitamin D deficiency. People are indoors all year around now (haven't you noticed?), so there wouldn't be a winter flu spike for that reason.

What about headaches brought about by annoying Christmas carols? I'd say Wham's "Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart" qualifies as a migraine trigger. For a funny story about the four most annoying Christmas songs, see 4initalia on wordpress.
