* Anxiety sensitivity a risk to mental health *

New York (Reuters Health) -- The fear of fear itself may make people more vulnerable to developing certain psychiatric disorders, a study suggests.

Researchers found that people who are especially sensitive to the physical signs of anxiety -- from sweaty palms to a pounding heart -- have a higher risk of developing anxiety disorders, including recurrent panic attacks.

For about 20 years, researchers have recognized a trait called anxiety sensitivity, where people interpret the physical aspects of anxiety as a threat in and of themselves. They may, for example, believe they're having a heart attack when their heart rate rises in response stress.

* Long-term pain hits 1 in 10 Americans: We're living longer, but hurting more, finds CDC report *

Washington -- One in 10 U.S. adults suffer pain that lasts a year or more, according to government statistics released Wednesday.

But Americans are living longer, with life span at a record average of just short of 80 years, according to the annual report on the nation's health from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

* Botox May Cut Knee Osteoarthritis Pain: Study Shows Injecting Botox May End or Delay Need for Joint Replacement Surgery *

Nov. 14, 2006 (Washington) -- Botox shots may do more than get rid of wrinkles. A new study shows Botox may decrease the pain of knee osteoarthritis (OA) and potentially prevent or forestall the need for knee replacement surgery.

The preliminary research was presented at the 2006 annual meeting of the American College of Rheumatology.

* No End in Sight: Results of Laser Eye Surgery Last For Years, New Study Suggests *

Nov. 14, 2006 -- Those considering laser eye surgery may be heartened by a new study that finds the clearer vision granted by two popular procedures lasts for 10 years or more.

Researchers who examined patients a decade after undergoing laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratotomy
(PRK) treatments say both procedures provide stable, long term improvement for nearsightedness.

*** Health/Safety Tips & Articles for the Week ***
-------------------------------------------------------------

* Dieting *

Everyone knows the equation: holidays = pressure + stress. Even when you try to reduce the stress, it’s still stressful. Even when you're not being a host, just a guest, it's still stressful.

When you're under stress, you can more easily be captured by the most prominent temptations in the environment. When it comes to the holidays and someone who struggles with her weight, the most prominent temptation is food.

* Caffeine *

Caffeine headaches are triggered by the chemical compound caffeine, and they can occur when the caffeine intake is very high or when the person concerned is addicted to caffeine and he tries desperately to stop drinking coffee. The latter case is commonly referred to as caffeine withdrawal headache. In the following paragraphs, we'll see in more detail how caffeine -- its over presence and absence -- could kick off an intense headache.

* Bodybuilding *

Increasing muscle from your gym workout has never been easier. Today, more and more scientific information enables bodybuilders to generate muscle at a much quicker rate than previously seen in the past.

The sad aspect of this is when a majority of bodybuilders don't get the correct gym workout information. Let's face it, there are many bodybuilding routine theories that can be applied to a gym workout.
However, there is only one scientifically sound weight lifting theory that is guaranteed to work.

*** Book Review: The Passionate Olive: 101 Things to Do with Olive Oil – By Carol Firenze ***
-------------------------------------------------------------

"Food's cheaper than medicine," claims Firenze in this charming book about the practical uses of olive oil. Firenze shares her passion for the staple ingredient by recounting warm memories from her Italian-American childhood, divulging tasty family recipes and detailing olive oil's fascinating history as a common Mediterranean health aid and an ingredient in food preparation.

For those new to olive oil, Firenze explains the different classifications, the best ways to cook with it (marinating, frying, baking, etc.) and how to throw a great olive oil tasting party. The book covers a wide variety of topics, ranging from olive oil's historic role in religious rituals to its more sensual role as a rubbing oil for massages. Firenzi also details the practical uses of olive oil: it can be employed as a diaper rash remedy to sooth babies' bottoms; an added ingredient to dog or cat food to give one's pet a healthy, shiny coat; and a homemade shoe polish.

Most importantly, the book is filled with delicious recipes such as Gigi's Eggplant Parmesan and Massimo's Tomato and Potato Side Dish. This delightful book will not only make readers' mouths water, but will provide them with a greater understanding of an under-appreciated domestic and culinary ingredient.
