Want to get more oxygen to your brain; twenty-four hours a day?
by Dr. Robert Blaich
About Me View My Posts
The diaphragm is the second most important muscle in the body, second only to the heart. Yet the average person's diaphragm muscle is working at far less than 100% of its ability. Because the diaphragm is the pump that determines how much oxygen comes into our systems, anything less than 100% of normal function of this vital muscle means less oxygen to our brains as well as all our muscles and internal... 10/5/2007 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
Cindy met Bill through her tennis club. He was charming, good-looking, and he swept her off her feet in a whirlwind courtship. Pushing for a quick marriage, he proposed after only two months. Though she felt a few flutters of anxiety, Cindy accepted, hoping for true love. Six months later, she deeply regretted the haste. Bill turned out to be both alcoholic and verbally abusive, with the threat of... 10/2/2007 7:00:00 AM

Are There Predators Out There?

About Me View My Posts
Kathy thought she'd met her ideal candidate for a serious relationship. After connecting through a popular online dating site, and talking with him on the phone, she agreed to meet at a local bar. He was a doctor; even told her which hospital he worked at. He was charming and bought her drinks. It never occurred to her that she was in danger. The next morning, she woke up groggy, sick, and in pain.... 10/1/2007 7:00:00 AM

Sacrificing For Love: Men or Women?
by Nina Atwood, M.Ed., LPC
About Me View My Posts
Who do you think is most likely to sacrifice career goals to keep a relationship together? If you're like most people, you guessed "women are." But a new study disproves that common belief. In a surprising twist, a survey of 237 university students found that men were more likely than women to give love a priority over individual achievement. Of course, these were university students - inexperienced... 9/30/2007 7:00:00 AM

Farewell to Recess?
by Rae Pica
About Me View My Posts
School has started all over the country, and all over the country children, parents, and teachers are discovering there's less time -- or no time -- being allotted for recess. I was reading an article at floridatoday.com called "Recess takes a time out: Law to increase activity eliminates recess at some schools." Anyone else see the contradiction in that title? If the goal is increased activity, why... 9/27/2007 7:00:00 AM

Feeling Good Each and Every Day
by Constance Kellough
About Me View My Posts
Is it possible to live each and every day in a state of emotional wellbeing? Can we hope to feel good most of the time, if not all of the time? A great many people do not feel excited about life, do not have hearts filled with hope, but exist each day in a pretty joyless state. Only when something in their external world comes along to pick their spirits up do they feel somewhat "happy" for a time.... 9/25/2007 7:00:00 AM

Personal Trainers for Preschool Kids?
by Rae Pica
About Me View My Posts
I came across an article yesterday that just begged to be commented on. The piece was titled "Personal Trainers for Kids on the Increase: Kids Working with Fitness Experts Hone Skills, Lose Weight, Get Healthy." Anyone familiar with my work knows I'm all in favor of fitness for kids. In fact, it's one of my crusades. But this story worried me. With the children's obesity crisis raging (and it truly... 9/20/2007 7:00:00 AM

Is Health Care Only for The Rich and The Criminals?
by Michael Esposito, MD
About Me View My Posts
There is equal protection to all citizens under the laws of the United States unless you are sick. Access to medical care in the United States is a privilege of the wealthy, the employed, the elderly, and the incarcerated. God help you get sick if you a low paid worker or a child living with working poor parents. There is no room or money in the health care system for these hard working souls. These... 9/17/2007 7:00:00 AM
