* But where's the snow? Pole walking with a twist: Sans skis, Nordic activity is
gaining traction in the United States *
Betsy Bridges has gotten some strange looks while participating in her latest
form of fitness, Nordic walking. It involves poles similar to those used in
cross-country skiing, but there are a couple key differences -- no skis and no
snow.
So onlookers are understandably confused when Bridges takes to the sidewalks
near her home in Los Angeles.
"Most people are stunned," says Bridges, 53, a homemaker. "They think I'm
getting ready to go skiing."

* Disrupted sleep may alter pain perception *
People who continually have their sleep disrupted, whether by insomnia or a
crying newborn, may become more susceptible to pain, preliminary research
suggests.
In a sleep-lab study of 32 healthy young women, researchers found that those who
were subjected to repeated sleep disruptions over three nights showed a change
in their pain perception. Their bodies' ability to inhibit pain signals
declined, and as a group, the women reported more "spontaneous" pain, such as an
aching back or stomach cramps, on the days following their poor night's sleep.

* New Mammogram Guidelines for 40-Somethings: Experts Debate Research Suggesting
Annual Breast Cancer Tests May be Harmful for Women under 50 *
A new report suggests the risks of breast cancer screening could outweigh the
benefits for women under 50, calling into question decades-old guidelines that
women begin having regular mammograms at age 40.
The new American College of Physicians study recommends that women in their 40s
talk to their doctors about whether to test, since younger women with no family
history of breast cancer tend to be at low risk of developing the disease.

* Organic Foods: Worth The Extra Cost? Dr. Emily Senay On What They Are, And
Whether The Extra Money For Them Pays *
There are literally hundreds of items labeled "organic," everything from spinach
to snack foods.
So, what does it really mean to say something is "organic," and is it worth it
to pay the higher prices organic foods command?
It's harder than you might think to answer those questions.

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

* Psychology *
There is truly a science of the mind.
A set of principles and methods you can easily develop to focus and use your
mind to create vast wealth, success, great relationships, and a profound inner
peace that transcends understanding.
My journey on this path began many years ago, when working at NASA/Goddard Space
Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. I began working at NASA in July 1967, at
17 years old, in a gifted student program. The scientists there were a great
group of people, and gave me my start in science, research, and publishing.

* Diabetes *
A recent experience with one of my patients prompted me to write this cautionary
tale about how using bad glucometer test strips could potentially lead to
serious problems.
Harry had been on my diabetic "jump start" program for several weeks, and we
were trying to get his blood sugars into an acceptable range. He was doing all
the right things: he was faithfully following the diet plan I had given him,
taking his medication properly, and exercising regularly. Still, he was getting
very high glucose readings when he did his glucometer testing at home.

Diabetics" - By Dr. Tina Marcantel, go to

* Stress *
Gradually, unwittingly, we often overload our electrical systems at home until a
circuit breaker pops.
It may begin with the purchase of a newer, more powerful computer. That computer
necessitates having a state-of-the art printer. Then, before you know it, you
are the proud owner of a scanner, copier, fax, and shredder. Of course, you
already have task lighting, overhead lights, clock radio, speakers, electrical
pencil sharpener, air-conditioner, and a ceramic heater.

*** Book Review: Ultra-Metabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss –
By Mark Hyman, M.D. ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
Physician Hyman ("Ultra-Prevention: The 6 Week Plan That Will Make You Healthy
for Life") delivers plenty of scientifically grounded information about weight
loss myths, effective individualized strategies centered around the theme of
stoking metabolism and a detailed six-week plan--complete with menus and
recipes--that "will help you lose 11 to 21 pounds" in those first six weeks.
The data and prescription the author provides are far from simple, and results,
if attained, are not automatic. But dogged readers will come away from the book
with a thorough understanding of dieting principles, such as the timing of
meals, portion size, glycemic load, phytonutrient index, the weight loss
benefits of relaxation, and the optimized functioning of the thyroid.
There are straightforward principles buried in the text, such as "eat fruits and
vegetables" and "move your body," plus tips for eating out (e.g., "don't be
afraid to ask for substitutions in a dish," "request a 'crudités platter'...
instead of the breadbasket" and "order a light drink"); adhering to these tips
alone should prove beneficial. The opportunity for readers to remember and apply
any of the more involved information is a possible positive side effect.
