We thought it might be nice if you knew more about the phenomenally talented bloggers who blog quality health-related content here at the Life Sciences blogs.

All of our bloggers are passionate about the health topics they write about related to cancer, diabetes and cardio heart health; compassionate in intent; and dedicated to bringing news, information, resources and a personal perspective meant to educate, enlighten and inspire in prevention, health management and survivorship.

Without further ado, we would like to introduce you to Nine DeJanvier, who blogs the Cardio and Cancer Blog.

When did you become a Life Sciences blogger? May 2006

How did you become interested in writing about health?

My love of writing and newfound health consciousness. I'd rather prevent now than cure later. Let's be healthy forever!

When it comes to health, what is your best advice to maintaining good health?

Drink lots and lots of water, eat well -- not just a balanced diet, but healthy foods that make you happy -- and exercise in a way that makes you feel like ahhhhhh! Get lots of rest, balance work and play, express yourself, and make as much peace with yourself and the world as you can. And love, love, love!

Name three favorite quotes:

"Every blade of grass has an angel that bends over it and whispers, ''grow! grow!'' -- The Talmud

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is." -- Albert Einstein
