Health Tips of the Week
- According to Harvard’s Women’s Health Watch soy extracts don’t improve bone density in older women.
- Despite the clear evidence that it’s unsafe, the use of tanning beds is on the rise.
- A study led by Stony Brook University Medical Center finds that preschool age children from socioeconomically disadvantaged families are less likely to have consistent bedtime routines than their more advantaged counterparts. The authors say this pattern may contribute to later disparities in sleep quality and possibly health.
- Rate of minor complications increases in surgeries performed after hours.
- People with chronic low-back problems who do yoga also do better at overcoming pain and depression than people treated conventionally for back pain according to a three-year West Virginia University study.
- Many people think twice before adding a dash of salt to their food, but don’t realize that the majority of dietary sodium comes from packaged foods and eating out.
- A moderate aerobic exercise program, without weight loss, can improve insulin sensitivity in both lean and obese sedentary adolescents, according to a new study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
- Weight loss surgery can break a family’s cycle of obesity. Adolescent and young children of obese mothers who underwent weight-loss surgery prior to pregnancy have been found to have a lower prevalence of obesity and significantly improved cardio-metabolic markers when compared to siblings born before the same obese mothers had weight-loss surgery.
- Low levels of vitamin D are known to nearly double the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes.

Article of the Week
Beat the Monday Morning Blues
Talking a good game about living in balance is one thing, but really living in balance is another matter. Our lives are set up to tip over: Working five long days a week to enjoy a one-day weekend (with Sat. or Sun. dedicated to household chores). Since many of us work to earn a living without feeling passion or purpose, are we fated to have a perpetual case of the Monday morning blues which starts on Sunday nights?
Aim for ordinary
The problem is that our society is celebrity-driven and most of us alternate between two states of mind: feeling like an unimportant person and an ordinary person. An ordinary person knows his identity, separating who he is from what he does - content with simplicity and organizing his day to maximize the positive. In contrast an unimportant person is desperately trying to create a name for himself because he feels that he is not good enough – and of course, this type of person will never feel accomplished and satisfied, even when he accomplishes. Consequently, how can you be happy on Monday, if you are not happy with yourself on Sunday?
