Health Tips of the Week

  • Taking a break in the middle of your workout may metabolize more fat than exercising without stopping, according to a recent study in Japan.
  • Vitamin C offers little protection against colds
  • Growth hormone injections appear to boost height in extremely short, healthy children, according to a recent review, but height gain appears to peak at about three inches — and those inches are expensive. Also, there is no guarantee about improved life quality.
  • Researchers isolated the active ingredient of curry - a natural substance found in turmeric root - that may help boost the immune system in clearing the plaques found in Alzheimer’s disease.
  • Healthy diet and exercise may help women survive breast cancer - but eating more than five daily servings of fruits and vegetables doesn't offer any extra benefit.
  • Eating lots of sugary, starchy foods may make eyes more vulnerable to age-related macular degeneration. Go for the complex carbs that don’t spike your insulin levels and eat more fruits and veggies while you are at it.
  • For all you hikers, golfers and gardeners out there, climate changes has caused more poison ivy to sprout and it is more potent!

  • I am happy, but…
  • I gained weight, but those holiday meals
  • I would exercise, but I’m tired
The words we choose create our reality and that’s why we should go for quality words when we speak to others and most importantly, in our own self-talk. Think back to the people who inspired you and made you feel like you could accomplish anything. What words did they use when speaking to you? more
