Taking Care of Your Physical Body

Ten Ways to Take Care of Brain Health

We can all probably can agree, the brain is the most essential organ of the human body. It only makes sense to make maintaining good brain function a top priority. Taking care of the brain has not ignited much attention in the past, however in today's time it has become exceedingly obvious there are great benefits in focusing on the health of our most vital organ.

Just Between You and Me ... and Chi

To say I came to respect Oriental medicine's possibilities, and those of the homeopathic and holistic healing disciplines, reluctantly ... is quite an understatement. When I brushed against the idea of herbs, teas, massage, ingesting minute quantities of what amounts to poison in normal doses to correct ailments, and other such suggestions ... I figured these were concepts I could live much better without, thankyouverymuch.

Why Can't I Lose Weight?

Do you keep trying to lose weight, but fail every single time? Have you tried every popular diet out there, but nothing works? Well, today you will find the answer! In this article, I will outline the most common reasons why you may be unable to lose weight:

"You have a slow metabolism": The term metabolism is a very complex concept and includes all the chemical reactions that occur in the human body. The body requires large amounts of energy every day in order to regulate temperature, repair internal damages and synthesize useful substances that will enable the various organs to function. In fact, the liver uses 27% of this energy, the heart only 10%, the brain 19% and the kidneys 7%. Also, a large amount of energy is spent as heat loss.

Your metabolism doesn't always remain constant and having an extremely low metabolism is impossible, because your organs always need energy in order to function. However, it may be true that you burn calories at a lower rate than you should.

Why Can't I Lose Weight?

Metabolism Boosting Foods

Even though we are born with a certain kind of metabolism, various foods have at times been suggested as metabolism boosting foods. In fact, there are studies showing that indeed some substances (like caffeine), can increase our metabolic rate. This doesn't of course mean that by eating some miracle food, you will lose 10 pounds in one day. It simply means, the even a small increase in metabolism can have noticeable results in the long run.

Holiday Help For Emotional Eaters

Weight is just that, weight. It is an inadvertent way to keep you on the ground. You are grounded when you have clarity. You are in control, and your creative mind is working to its full potential. With grounding comes enhanced intuition, you may be surprised just what flows forth when you are secure in your own self-being. Grounding offers complete confidence in your abilities and who you are. It gives you the ability to STAY motivated.

The best way I describe not being grounded, in relation to food, are my bouts with binge eating and bulimia. I never focused on what I was eating. It was more about what I would eat next. One thing after another was consumed before I had time to even think about what I was swallowing. During those times, there never was an "Earth to Catherine" moment.

In the News about Breast Cancer

Alcohol consumption is known to increase a woman's risk of breast cancer. Now a new study by the research division of Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, California, confirms that even moderate drinking -- as little as half a drink a day -- increases the odds of a recurrence in women already battling the disease by as much as 1/3.

Are We Talking Ourselves to Death?
Is there a link between brain cancer and cell phone usage?

There's a report out from the Environmental Working Group on cell phone safety, and the news is not good. Cell phone safety is already under fire in many states and cities because of the distraction they are when people use them while driving.

Many jurisdictions have banned their use by drivers when a car is in motion, in traffic, after a shocking set of statistics showing how often cell phone use was a factor in serious and fatal accidents. Cell phones are convenient, yes -- but there's no escaping the fact that they are also deadly. That's one kind of health risk no one needs.

Fat Food ... Fat Ass ... Fat Head?
More Evidence Against
The Wisdom of the Western Diet

In the science-speak that often accompanies studies -- and papers on studies -- an article in Science Daily begins with this sentence. "Rats fed a high-fat diet show a stark reduction in their physical endurance and a decline in their cognitive ability after just nine days, a study by Oxford University researchers has shown." In other words, rats on a high-fat diet quickly become stupid and lazy. What implication might this have for humans?

A Look at Alternative Medicine and Conventional Medicine

Alternative medicine and alternative therapies are therapeutic practices, which are currently not considered as an integral part of conventional medicine. Conventional medicine is the current mainstream medical system of diagnosis and treatment of disease.

However, an increasing desire for wellness, in response to today's stressful lifestyle and rising incidences of cancer, disease and illness, has led to the rising demand for alternative medicine and therapies. It is true that many people are becoming disenchanted with conventional medicine's drugs and the approach to healing.

Hantavirus
Just FYI

It was the Swine Flu of its day here in the American Southwest a number of years back ... a deadly respiratory ailment -- with initial symptoms that started out similar to the flu but which quickly progressed to a stage where the lungs of a victim filled with straw-colored fluid ... and from there often caused death.

It seemed to arrive out of nowhere and also seemed terrifyingly confined to this area of the country. New Mexico and the Four Corners region were Ground Zero with a major outbreak in 1993 ... and this state was swarming with CDC workers looking to isolate the cause and identify the transmission agents.
