Toxic Blood RelationshipsMany people spend years and years sacrificing their mental, emotional and sometimes physical health in abusive relationships in the name of family, marriage or friendship. Deciding whether or not these relationships are worth keeping can be difficult for many reasons. But no matter the reasons, you should take time to breath and weigh the pros and cons of the relationship so that you can make a clear decision. Although any form of abuse is unacceptable, we should remember that the toxic folks we're involved with are people too, and are not always healthy themselves. Join host MsKeepItMoving on The Keep It Moving Blog Talk Radio and special guest Torrence Williams as they talk about why you should rid yourself of toxic relationships, how to tell you're in a toxic relationship and hear personal experiences of others releasing toxic people from their lives.

Breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women. About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point.

Did you know that one out of every 5 children are overweight or obese? What's more unfortunate, is that these same children suffer the same fate as adults, greater risk of diabetes, heart disease and hypertension.  Childhood obesity is a major public health problem. Children who have obesity are more likely to have obesity as adults. This can lead to lifelong physical and mental health problems, including diabetes and increased risk of certain cancers. Children who have obesity face more bullying and stigma. Childhood obesity is influenced by many factors.  Working together, states, communities, schools, child care providers, and parents can help make healthier food, beverages, and physical activity the easy choice for children and adolescents to help prevent childhood obesity. The good news? Childhood obesity can be prevented. Communities, health professionals, and families can work together to create opportunities for kids to eat healthier and get more active.

MSKeepItMoving Founder and President of K.I.M.

The severity of CKD depends on how well the kidneys filter wastes from the blood.  It can progress quickly or take many years to develop. Because there are little to no signs of the condition, most people are not even aware that they have kidney disease until it reaches the later stages, including kidney failure.

You can contact the "TaxChick" Anissa Barbee.  With over 10 years of experience in tax preparation, Anissa Barbee is the CEO of Transformation Tax and Financial Services. Anissa’s commitment to serving individuals, small business, and non-profit organizations stems from an understanding of the general sentiment of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  After working for franchises and CPA firms, Anissa felt that a profit margin, not the welfare of the taxpayer, was the top priority of some of the corporations. It is with these thoughts that Anissa decided to launch Transformation Tax in 2010.
