** WARD OFF The Long-Term DAMAGE of STRESS **
There are many approaches to preventing and managing stress reactions.
Once a stress reaction occurs, it can take hours, even days to recover.
Since the effects of stress are also cumulative, a daily routine of
reducing the physiologic response becomes necessary to ward off
long-term damage and ensuing physical problems like irritability, headaches,
hypertension, gastritis, arrhythmias, depression, fatigue, immune
deficiencies, etc. A new approach to reducing daily stress is whole
body pulsed electromagnetic field treatments.

*** OTHER HEALTH NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD***
fatty diet may give clues to human disease development
Ten ways to get an instant happiness health boost!
"New research has discovered that although we are four times richer
than we were in the 1950s, we are not four times as happy. The survey,
commissioned by the Cabinet Office, found that despite large increases
in national income, our levels of contentment have not kept pace with our
salaries. And this is bad news for our health - according to experts,
being grumpy can actually shorten your life. Studies by America's Mayo
Clinic in Minnesota have found that optimists live roughly seven and a
half years longer than pessimists."

"Warnings have been issued about the dangers of 11 traditional Chinese
herbal remedies after it was revealed they contained toxic substances.
Three of the banned medicines were found to contain the herb

to interfere with heart medication."

In this study, a group of German researchers investigated the effect Botox
has on sweat glands. Their results appear in the January issue of the
Archives of Dermatology."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***


RELAXATION - "Our lives are full of stresses and pressures, some we
create ourselves, others we cannot control. Coping with the stresses of modern
life is an essential skill and there are many techniques available to
us, techniques with a long history. Within the pages of this site you will
find courses and information on many of these techniques from massage
to meditation, take time to explore them and you will learn much.
Meditation and Relaxation aims to bring calm to the mind, to allow our thoughts to
settle, to allow us to focus and to simply 'be'. To practice meditation
is to break away from worrying about time, about schedules, simply to let
go and experience ourselves."
(For the complete article entitled The Importance of Relaxation By:
Simon Hill go to)
http://www.naturalhealthweb.com/articles/hill1.html


COFFEE - "Are you addicted to coffee? You're not sure? Just ask
yourself if you can commit to living without it. For most people, coffee is a
must have in the morning. Without coffee they don't feel alive. I know some
people who instantly get a headache if they don't have their coffee in
the morning. What's wrong with coffee you may ask? Coffee is a drug and it
can manipulate your feelings. If you drink coffee after lunch
sometimes or occasionally in the morning that's fine. The big problem starts
when you need it every day and it gets worse when you want to lose weight.
Coffee interferes with your natural weight loss program."
(For the complete article entitled How Coffee Interferes With Losing
Weight by Thomas Herold, go to)
http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Herold6.html

DEPRESSION - "BE ANGRY OR BE DEPRESSED.Depressed people are angry
people who won't admit it. They tend to say nothing when they should be
saying: "Get out of my way!" Anger is a natural emotion which occurs whenever
there is something in your way. We probably get at least a little angry
about 20 times each day. When we act on our anger we are saying: "I
count, and what I want matters." When we don't take action we are
saying: "You count, I don't." Ignoring our anger can make us believe that
nobody counts and nothing matters." (To read the complete article entitled:

*** BOOK REVIEW - What Happy People Know - by Dan Baker ***
-------------------------------

"Baker, a psychologist and director of the Life Enhancement Program at
Canyon Ranch in Tucson, offers a new way to look at unhappiness. He
believes that people can teach themselves to be happy instead of
remaining trapped in a vicious cycle of stress from work and family: "If you
adopt management of your life as a primary goal, you'll be able to
participate in your own destiny. But if you squander your energy struggling for
complete control, you'll lose the reins of management and become just
another leaf in the wind." It's essential for people to avoid such
traps as trying to buy happiness or trying to find it through pleasure, Baker
argues. Instead, people should use and take advantage of the six
happiness tools-appreciation, choice, personal power, leading with strengths,
language and stories, and multidimensional living.

To demonstrate his strategy, the author offers various case studies.
For example, one wealthy CEO comes for therapy, complaining about his
children, wife and employees. Baker listens and offers just one piece
of advice: he tells the man to visit a pediatric cancer ward; the visit
allows the man to look beyond his self-centered complaints. Baker's
advice is sound and his presentation engaging, but some readers, especially
those coping with serious life crises, may find this approach too New Age or
simplistic. He makes the transition from the traps to the tools of
happiness sound easy, perhaps too much so."

About the author.

Dr. Dan Baker, director of the Life Enhancement Program at Canyon
Ranch, has devoted his life to teaching people how to be happy. And
apparently, most of us could use a little tutoring.
