A Friend to A Few…A Foe to Many

I can’t remember the first time I met Irritability.  I think it was during High School  Physiology 30 years ago.  The teacher was droning on and on….nothing new….nothing exciting…and way too much about football.  Irritability flew in and sat right on me!  She quickly introduced me to Self-righteousness.  Self-righteousness and Irritability assured me I had a right to make this teacher’s life miserable because he owed it to us to teach more—to teach better!

THE TRUTH ABOUT VITAMIN D

By Dr. Darren Snodgrass

 

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that has recently garnered much media attention.  The difficulty with Vitamin D is that it is naturally present in very few foods.

Get a Pet, Stay Healthy
Get a Pet-Stay Healthy!
 
Pets love us unconditionally but they are more than companions, owning a pet may improve your health. Here's what some experts say:
 
* Blood pressure. Petting your dog or cat can lower your BP, as well as your pets. One study of New York stockbrokers found that those who adopted pets experienced better blood pressure and heart rates.
 
* Physical activity. Owning a dog almost forces you into taking several walks a day. The exercise can improve your health and bring you into contact with other pet owners, relieving stress and loneliness.
 
* Heart attack recovery. The odds for surviving a heart attack seem to improve dramaticaly if you own a pet. Pet ownership contributes to an increased one-year survival rate for people who have been hospitalized for heart problems.
 
*Alzheimer's disease. Some studies suggest that elderly people with Alzheimers have fewer outbreaks of anxiety with an animal companion nearby. A pet can also help relax a patient's primary caregiver who's also at risk of stress-related ailments.

Avoiding Excess Holiday Pounds
AVOIDING EXCESS HOLIDAY POUNDS
By Dr. Darrin Snodgrass

 

Question:  Every year I gain several pounds over the Holidays.  How can I avoid this?

 

Weight management is simply burning as many calories as you take in.  Or burn excess calories to lose weight.  However, this statement may not be true for those with a thyroid adrenal, or gasroenteric condition.

Naturally Savvy: Eliminating Pesticides Reduces Health and Environmental Risks
By Andrea Donsky and Randy Boyer

Organic or non-organic is the question. If you've ever stood in the grocery store asking yourself if organic foods are really worth the increased price tag, you're not alone. And if you've ever shrugged and thought, "How bad can non-organic really be?" while putting an organic peach or plum back on the shelf, you may have made a big mistake.
