*** TOP NATURAL HEALTH NEWS STORY OF THE WEEK ***

Potassium for High Blood Pressure
"Potassium is one of the major electrolytes in your body, along with sodium and chloride. Potassium and sodium work together like a molecular seesaw: when the level of one goes up, the other goes down. All together, these three dissolved minerals play an intimate chemical role in every function of your body.   Since salt is sodium chloride, most of us get more than enough sodium in the diet. Most people in the developed world get enough potassium from their daily
diet as well. However, in Asian countries, low intake of potassium is more common, while salt intake remains high. A recent study found that potassium supplementation may help reduce blood pressure among people who live in China. In this double-blind trial, 150 individuals were given either placebo or potassium supplements for a period of 12 weeks.1 The results showed that blood
pressure levels significantly improved in the group receiving potassium."

You Are What You Drink
Liquid Calories Can Really Pile on the Pounds
" When it comes to gaining weight, perhaps "you are what you eat" doesn't matter as much as "you are what you drink." Slurping soda piles on more pounds than scarfing down the same number of calories in solid food.   According to a study published last year in the International Journal of Obesity, people who drink their excess calories do not compensate for it as well as people who consume the extra calories in food."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPORTS INJURIES - "Most sports-related injuries occur in the summer months as we begin to involve ourselves in a variety of outdoor activities. Unfortunately, many of us did not keep our bodies in shape over the winter and thus are susceptible to a variety of injuries during the summer. Activities such as baseball, softball, soccer, cycling, running, tennis, and golf (yes, even golf!) are just some of the summertime sports where you can get injured.  The incidence of sports-related injuries is increasing. According to a recent report by the U.S. consumer Products Safety Commission, there has been a 33% increase in the past 7 years among baby boomers who are becoming more active than previous generations of middle aged individuals.   So what are some ways you can avoid an injury happening to you? In order to stay healthy while you are active, you should follow these 3 basic tips:"

GEMSTONE THERAPY - "In this mechanical world, the life is full of stress and strained and these often disturb us. Where as every body desires peace, good health and prosperity in life?
There are various options for the control of disorders such as allopathic medicine, homeopathic medicine, aryuvadic, holisticpathy, yoga, various kind of natural methods etc. to help us. Of many, the gemstone therapy is one of the most ancient & natural science followed in India million years ago but lost in transition, does now gearing up with better understanding. This therapy is harmless and has no side effect, and may resolve many forthcoming issues for the control of problems aroused. The disappearance of this science in the last few centuries appears to be associated with two reasons: - the leaders in each society knew the concepts but did not pass on to others for one reason to other; - the cost of gems and their rare availability. However this science remained in the hands of limited people."  (Click here to read the complete article entitled:   The Science of Gemstone Therapy By: V.K.JAIN)

QIGONG - "Qigong is an amazing energy producing Chinese movement technique that many doctors now recommend for relaxation, reducing stress and even helping the body to heal when sick. Regular Qigong practice can reduce pain, stress and the effects of sickness from the body.
Qigong combines focused concentration with simple movements and balanced breathing in a controlled way. It's simplicity makes it easy to learn and easy to do for most people. Qigong works with the body's energy or "Qi" (Sometimes called "Chi", which is pronounced "Chee"). In Chinese Medicine, there is only one cause of illness and that is congestion. Any practice or method which increases the flow of lifeforce energy, also naturally helps relieve congestion and therefore, is
beneficial to health."  (Click here to read the complete article entitled:   What is Qigong?
