Things Everyone Needs to Know About Diet and Cancer

Can Diet Really Prevent Cancer?

Cancer is a devastating disease and I know this personally. My father died from it just under a year ago. I will be the first one to admit that I feel his diet played a huge role in what happened to him. Not only did he have poor eating habits prior to being diagnosed, he refused to change his ways after the diagnosis was made. I wholeheartedly believe that if he had made changes for the better or had taken a different approach to health and nutrition, he'd be with us today. If you think diet can't prevent or help fight cancer, there are things you really need to know.

Is There a Hospital Cash Card in Your Wallet?

What is a Hospital Cash Card?

The other day I received a letter from my credit union telling me that they would pay for two months of the premium if I signed up for a hospital cash card. The advertisement was very compelling. After all, if I could get coverage for my family that would pay up to $400 for each day we were in the hospital if (God forbid) anything went wrong and it would cost me less than $20 a month, why not? Of course, I had to dig further. What exactly is a hospital cash card? Would it really pay? This is what I found out...
