A mid-year checkup

For many of us, it's been more than six months since our New Year's resolutions to eat healthier, exercise more and take care of family and ourselves. With that in mind, we've assembled health and medical articles to inform you, motivate you and keep you on track.

There are also stories to make you think about where you might fit into the evolving world of biomedical research, to ponder the connections between mind, body and spirit, and to simply be thankful for the body you have.

Think of these stories as a kind of health check. Just relax and breath deeply while you read.
