Have You Been Naughty Or Nice?
by Susan Rutter

He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town!

Have you been naughty or nice to yourself this year? If you confess to Santa that you haven't been exercising regularly and eating well, you probably won't end up with a lump of coal in your stocking. But by making small, healthful changes to your daily life, you can give yourself the best gift of all -- better health.

To inspire you to make the gift of good health last all year, here's a roundup of the latest research on the connections between everyday lifestyle choices and well-being, along with some holiday health tips.

He sees you when you're sleeping....

Sleep does a lot more than recharge our body's batteries and boost immune system activity so you can fight off that Christmas cold -- getting enough shut-eye may also help restore and improve memories.

In a recent study, scientists trained students to recognize a group of words spoken in a difficult-to-understand, electronically altered voice and then tested their ability to perform this task at different intervals.

The results?

Performance levels gradually slumped over the course of the day, but bounced back completely after a good night's sleep. Sleep researchers have long believed that REM sleep (a phase of our nocturnal cycle that's accompanied by soaring levels of a brain chemical that's hard-hit by Alzheimer's disease) plays a crucial role in learning and memory.

.... He knows when you're awake,
He knows when you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!

If you define being "good" as cutting others some extra slack, consider doing it for your own sake. Cultivating good karma may yield big benefits in your relationships, as well as your health.

A paper that recently appeared in "Psychosomatic Medicine" suggests that individuals who held on to their hostilities over the years were more lifely to report achieving less than they had hope personally and professionally, and to observe that their family lives had changed for the worse, than those who mellowed with age.

Of the 2,200 one-time collage students who were followed from the mid-1960s until 1998, the 18 percent who maintained the same hostility level or became more hostile were more likely to indulge in unhealthy behaviors (smoking, drinking more than two alcoholic beverages a day, avoiding exercise and eating a high-fat diet) and ran a significantly higher risk of obesity, negative changes in economic life, and physical health, and feeling socially isolated.

So, you better watch out .....

If you watch out for the hazards of physical inactivity and convince yourself to commit to a regular exercise program, you'll reduce your odds of crying over the news of a diagnosis of diabetes, cancer, and other diseases. Exercise also appears to be the closest thing we have to a magic bullet for bone loss and even the ability to, er, get naughty.

So you better think twice if you want to be naughty or nice ....
