How Can We Put More Heal In Health?

by kphirst

When it comes to plant-based foods, think black. Black foods are
especially healthy. Black rice is high in anthocyanin, which
fights cardiovascular disease. Black beans are rich in
terpenoids, which stop the growth of certain cancers. Black tea
is rich in flavonoids, which protect against neurological
disease; and blackberries are rich in polyphenols, which help
prevent diseases related to chronic inflammation. Then there's
the pigment that makes these foods black. It provides
antioxidants that also protect our health - and give new meaning
to black power.

A study done by St. Louis University gives new meaning to
calorie restriction. In the study healthy volunteers ages 50 to
60 were divided into 3 groups. The calorie-restriction group cut
300-500 calories a day, the exercise group exercised regularly
while maintaining its usual diet and the control group made no
changes. One year later only the calorie-restriction group had
experienced a decrease in T3 thyroid hormone. This decrease
causes a decrease in both metabolism and tissue aging - which
increases the likelihood we should be looking for a calorie
counter instead of the Fountain of Youth.

We should also be practicing the "relaxation response"  -
sitting quietly, eyes closed, for 10 to 20 minutes silently
repeating a word or phrase. Patients being unsuccessfully treated
with medications for high blood pressure participated in a
3-month study with the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body
Medicine. Practicing the relaxation response daily enabled 66% of
the patients to significantly lower their blood pressure. The
relaxation response helps the body increase nitric oxide, a
compound which causes blood vessels to open, which lowers blood
pressure. For continued results, however, pressure to practice
the relaxation response has to remain high.

If that's too much pressure, research done at the Salk Institute
for Biological Studies shows that a mid-day nap of 10 minutes
increases alertness, improves physical dexterity, boosts stamina
and lowers stress. I think most employees realize a nap would
improve their performance. It's employers who need to wake up to
this fact.

Dr. Paula Moskowitz, a dermatologist at Brown University, wants
us to wake up to the fact that ointments aren't the right
treatment for burns. Ointments smother the skin, which prevents
the pores from breathing and the heat from escaping. Instead, we
should put a wet wash cloth over the burn. This promotes healing
and relieves pain. Of course, free advice also relieves pain -
from a down economy.
