  • Research shows that men and women who start exercising are happier about their body image even when they don’t lose weight.
  • If you got curves: Extra padding in the hips, buttocks and thighs is healthy and protects against heart and metabolic problems, according to British researchers as published in the International Journal of Obesity. Fat in the hips mops up harmful fatty acids and contains an anti-inflammatory agent that stops arteries from clogging.
  • Regularly practicing yoga exercises may lower a number of compounds in the blood and reduce the level of inflammation that normally rises because of both normal aging and stress, a new study has shown.
  • Sleeping on your stomach can strain your neck.
  • When children play during recess, then eat lunch, there is a higher consumption of fruits, vegetables and milk and better classroom behavior. This change is scheduling is working in many schools.
  • Older women who strength train for an hour twice a week had improved cognitive function.
  • Doctors take a one-size-fits all approach when prescribing medicine to adults. According to the Lancet, dosages of antibiotics should be based on a patient’s size with higher dosages for heavier patients.

  • Antioxidants are largely thought to produce better health, but studies have shown that antioxidants can actually suppress key signaling mechanisms that are necessary for muscles to function effectively. There needs to be a balance. The take home message is, don’t overload on antioxidants – too much of a good thing.
  • Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science have found that two antibiotics working together might be more effective in fighting deadly staph infections than either drug on its own.


Article of the Week
Unhappy Valentine’s Day?

How ironic that Valentine’s Day which is supposed to inspire romantic love stresses people out. First, there are the single people who feel less than… Second there are those who have recently broken up or divorced. Third there are those who feel pressured to prematurely propel their relationship to the next level to meet Valentine’s Day criteria. Fourth there are those who are spooked by the symbolism of Valentine’s Day and break up a budding relationship. Fifth there are many committed people who are disappointed with their gifts/experiences and feel angry: “This last minute cheap box of chocolates - is this what he thinks of me?” “No rose petals on the bed?” “Not tonight, I have a headache.”

Good News

Romance need not be obligatory or costly. It does not even require a partner.more
