Health Tips of the Week

  • Get more Vitamin D in your diet. Experts say that Vitamin D protects against several cancers. So expose some skin to the sun for about 15 minutes a few times a week to reap the rewards. Then slather on the sunscreen and wear protective clothing.
  • Tai chi boosts the immune system combining exercise, relaxation and meditation all rolled up into one.
  • Not only does exercise make most people feel better and perform physical tasks better, it now appears that exercise - specifically, resistance training - actually rejuvenates muscle tissue in healthy senior citizens.
  • Diets high in salt may increase the virulence of the pathogen Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which is the most common cause of ulcers in the stomach and duodenum.
  • The hotter the water, the better when it comes to killing dust mites and other allergens in the laundry,
  • Growing research suggests that inhaling straight oxygen can actually harm the brain. For the first time, a new UCLA brain-imaging study reveals why. The findings challenge national guidelines for medical practice and recommend a new approach that adds carbon dioxide to the mix to preserve brain function in patients.

Article of the Week
Don’t Let Stress Steal Your Heart Away

Love relationships are almost impossible to unravel because they consist of twists and turns of string entangled since early childhood by parents, friends, and teachers. So let’s not bother to chew over the same old things and overanalyze them. We will only get frustrated while our intimate relationship continues to disintegrate. Instead, let’s jump into present time and forget the psychobabble that we have married one of our parents, or even both! Accept responsibility and go green. Green isn’t only about being energy conscious and protecting the environment. Green is about healthy relationships that grow together, not apart. Tend to your relationship like a gardener: Water, fertilize occasionally, provide some sun and repot when the roots expand and don’t have enough soil. If your plant isn’t doing well, move it to another window. Don’t hover over your plant or you will kill it with too much attention. Most plants suffer from over-watering!

What does all this green talk mean to you? Simply stated because the reason is surprisingly simple, people fall out of love with one another because they are stressed and unhappy with themselves. They abandon themselves, wither inside, feel rootless and then wonder why their spouse seems distant, inattentive, unsupportive or even worse has found someone else who doesn’t nag, vent, but instead doles out mega-doses of approval. wedlocked. You will have true love.more
