Health Tips of the Week

  • Saint Louis University researchers disarm the blood-brain barrier sentry that keeps a potential treatment for stroke and Alzheimer’s disease from getting into the brain
  • A groundbreaking new study shows that people who eat a lower energy dense breakfast have improved diet quality, and may have a better ability to maintain a healthy weight. Lower energy dense foods have more nutrients, higher fiber and fewer calories like whole grains, oatmeal, fruits, and vegetables.
  • A new study concludes that cell phone text messaging may be a useful tool for self-monitoring of healthy behaviors in children, and suggests novel technology may play a role in improving health for kids.
  • Work/ health promotion programs can have positive effects on employees' health and productivity—including more than a 20 percent reduction in sick leave.
  • There may be something healthy about those miserable allergy symptoms: Sneezing, coughing, tearing and itching just may help prevent cancer -- particularly colon, skin, bladder, mouth, throat, uterus and cervix, lung and gastrointestinal tract cancer, according to a new Cornell study. Apparently, allergy symptoms help us shed environmentally toxic particles which might be implicated in cancer.
  • Vitamin D supplements, taken at a dose of 400 international units per day, may not help prevent breast cancer in women after menopause, a new study shows.
  • Eating a high-fat diet during pregnancy may generate fat cravings that start in the womb and last into adulthood.
  • A new study indicates that Seasonal Affective Disorder may be linked to a genetic mutation in the eye that makes a SAD patient less sensitive to light.
  • How well young people learn and develop during their college years may be due more to the normal process of maturing rather than the college experience itself.


Article of the Week
Fending Off Family Feuds During the Festivities

This holiday season needs an emergency infusion of joy and spontaneity to counteract:
  • A falling economy
  • Election withdrawal
  • Seasonal Affective Disorder
  • A loss of personal empowerment
  • Stress
Ideally, your social network consisting of family and friends can generate humor and joy helping to redirect your attention from what you don’t have to what you do have. However, in reality they can be rude, insensitive and as much fun as a stomach virus. When you recall past holiday get-togethers with family and friends, you often realize why you see these people only once a year.

People who push your buttons most likely know you quite well. Sometimes it is a role you and they are locked into based on birth order or seniority. You might be forty years old, but you are still a little sister. However, sometimes it’s not them – but you and your personal stressors making you highly sensitive to criticism and even worse, making you more critical of them! Could you be goading them into behaving badly?

Then there is your spouse who is your mirror. When you are most angry with yourself, feeling stressed, depleted, unattractive, insignificant and under-accomplished, you can lash out and blame it all on your partner, the nearest and dearest recipient. After all, in your universe you are always right and everyone else is always wrong! It is time to lift the veil and perceive the pattern.

Don’t fret because I will help you deal with these difficult relationships. The first principle of stress management is preparation, the way you prepare a meal. more
