But over the years they become tight, injured, and immobile. Frozen shoulder is common among athletes, both hardcore from overtraining and weekend warriors from lack of warm up and cool down.

Now a study in Germany has finally put the matter to bed by revealing who is most at risk to lose sleep during a full moon — and why. The research shows that a full moon creates increased activity in the brain’s…
Tea is one of those ubiquitous beverages that seem to have been around since the beginning of time. Perhaps every culture drinks tea, uses it as part of rituals, and also relies on its purported healing properties. China has been consuming tea for some 2,000 years and cultivates five distinct classes: green, red, black, oolong and pu-erh.
