"What on earth did I do to get cancer?" That's the question Deanna Favre asked in 2004 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Health Corner profiles Deanna's amazing journey of hope and recovery. Find out what she and husband NFL quarterback Brett Favre are doing today to help women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. The loss of their mothers brought two very different women together for the first time. The friendship they now share has transformed their lives. Find out from a University of Chicago longevity expert why having "girlfriends" helps you live longer, and better. Remembering to eat is a serious problem for many aging adults. Leeza Gibbons and Dr. Jamie Huysman share Diane's story, a care giver on a mission, serving meals and spreading hope to those who need it most. Fiber-rich and loaded with thiamin, the humble navy bean is a nutritional powerhouse that reduces heart disease risk and improves memory. Dr. John La Puma prepares a ChefMD™-approved navy bean salad with flakes of chilled salmon, great for lunch, dinner or any time! How does an aspirin know you have a headache? Health Corner host Dr. Lisa Thornton talks with Walgreens pharmacist Sara Herman about how medications work. Plus, fitness guru Denise Austin with a do-it-yourself tummy tuck exercise, image consultant Florida Perry Smith on giving your make up kit an extreme make over, and home life expert Jill Repp on choosing the right pet for your family. All that, and so much more.
