About Me View My Posts
If your friends are fat - watch out, states a recent news article. A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that one of the strongest associations in the spread of obesity is your relationship with obese friends. It's not some new virus that's recently been discovered, the articles go on to say, but the behavioral influence. It seems obesity is socially contagious. The study... 11/6/2007 11:47:46 PM

You know your mom was right. Now the Center for Disease Control (CDC) is weighing in as well. The CDC is behind a national health promotion and disease prevention program called Healthy People 2010. The primary goal of Healthy People 2010 is to help individuals of all ages increase life expectancy and improve their health and the quality of their lives. A report in spring 2007 from the CDC on Americans... 11/6/2007 11:46:41 PM

Breast Cancer & Diet

About Me View My Posts
Transitioning with Vegetables As I've mentioned before, I believe that even small changes can make a difference in a person's health. I had advanced breast cancer, so I did the whole-meal deal (macrobiotic healing diet extrodinaire!), and I'm glad I did (cancer-free and healthy nine years later). I love this way of eating and the way it makes me feel and look. I have no more constant hunger, I eat... 11/6/2007 8:00:00 AM

FIRES AND LAWSUITS AND BEARS - Stess and the Breath
by Diana Lang
About Me View My Posts
Recently here in Los Angeles, our beautiful mountains from Topanga to Big Bear were on fire. Raging wildfires tore through the sage and the wild sumac that go up like firecrackers from this long drought we've been in. I watched from a half mile away as great, chugging helicopters filled to the brim, dumped their loads of ocean water on burning, smoking hillsides. I watched in awe as these great flying... 11/5/2007 8:00:00 AM

Happiness By Elimination
by Dr. Timothy Sharp
About Me View My Posts
Lately I've been thinking and talking to others a lot about my new concept - happiness by elimination. You see I frequently receive positive feedback about the ideas I promote via The Happiness Institute but if there's one "negative" comment I/we get its that people think they don't have time to implement the principles of positive psychology we recommend. Its not that people don't think they'll work... 11/5/2007 8:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
My daughter went to a party on the weekend that primarily involved ice skating. Now a few of the girls were, apparently, quite competent but most, including my daughter, had tried skating a few times and knew what they were doing but were by no means expert! Anyway, when talking to my daughter afterwards she explained that one of the first things they did was have a quick lesson in which among other... 11/4/2007 7:00:00 AM

If your doctor refuses to treat menopause
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts

It is very frustrating for the woman who is seeking treatment and, believe it or not, frustrating for the doctor who sends them away.Doctors are in the business to help people restore their health. In order to do that they have to know what they are treating and have... 11/4/2007 7:00:00 AM

Preventative versus Reactive Medicine
by Geoffrey Miller
About Me View My Posts
Abstract This blog will provide a reflection of why the government at all levels (Federal, State and Local) has a reluctance in developing a prevention based model within the healthcare system. Wellness.com: Blog The government will always be reluctant to change when there is not a proven method of positive monetary gain, savings or a combination of the two. We now live in a nation where people are... 11/3/2007 7:00:00 AM
