* Herb may cut breast cancer risk, study finds: Black cohosh often used to ease
menopausal symptoms *
A new study provides preliminary evidence that an herbal medicine used to help
women cope with menopausal symptoms may reduce breast cancer risk.

recommended to prevent the disease, Dr. Timothy R. Rebbeck of the University of
Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia and colleagues caution.

* Green Tea vs. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Green Tea Compound EGCG May Turn Off Chain
Reaction of Inflammation, Joint Damage in RA *
A compound found in green tea may reduce inflammation and joint damage in
rheumatoid arthritis.
So say scientists from the University of Michigan Medical School. They included
Salah-uddin Ahmed, Ph.D.
Their preliminary lab tests show that the green tea compound EGCG may hold
promise as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

* Dropping In on Eye Allergy Relief *
Spring is a beautiful season, if only you could see it through your puffy,
bloodshot eyes.
For many allergy sufferers, their eyes are on the frontlines of the battle
against pollen and dander.
Allergic conjunctivitis is the medical term for the all-too-familiar feeling of
itchy, watery eyes. For the more than 20 million Americans suffering from this
condition, there are many prescription and over-the-counter remedies to treat
allergic conjunctivitis.

* Gravity machines on rise at health clubs *
America might not need yet another exercise machine. Treadmills, weights and
resistance equipment already jam the health clubs. Yet Gravity machines have
found a niche at the YMCA in this resort town.
On a recent weekday morning, a dozen women and men push, pull and grunt on the
machines' slanted glideboards. They push with their legs, then pull with their
arms -- up and down diagonally.

* Fruit *
Move over apples and bananas, exotic fruits are pushing their way into
supermarket aisles across the country -- and with good reason.
With surprising flavors, excellent nutrition, and a flair for the dramatic,
these fruits can add a little pizzazz to your daily food choices while giving
you nutrients your body needs and flavors you didn't know you craved!

* Childbirth *
Midlife Motherhood: What's Age Got To Do With It?
If you're trying to figure out your chances of having a C-section, look in your
wallet. If you have a health insurance card, research shows that you're more
likely to deliver by cesarean than a woman who's uninsured or covered by
Medicaid, the state/federal program for low-income Americans. And your driver's
license yields more information than all those diplomas hanging in your
obstetrician's office -- that is, if you were honest about your age and weight
when you applied for your license!

C-Section?" - By Rita Rubin, go to

* Weight Training *
Working as a fitness professional, there is one type of question I get all the
time that shows that many people are missing the big picture regarding the
benefits of strength training. This popular question usually goes something like
this:
"What exercise can I do to isolate my _______ (insert your muscle of choice --
abs, quads, biceps, triceps, etc)?"

Groups During Weight Training" - By Mike Geary, go to

*** Book Review: Chasing Life: New Discoveries in the Search for Immortality to
Help You Age Less Today – By Sanjay Gupta, M.D. ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
Readers seeking the key to everlasting life will find some clues in neurosurgeon
Gupta's survey of the latest research on longevity. Gupta, CNN's chief medical
correspondent, touches on recent breakthroughs as he offers some basic
guidelines for adding years to what he and other aging experts call "health
span." The goal, Gupta says, is not merely to live longer. To help readers live
longer and better, he boils down conflicting health advice and makes some
surprising prescriptions. For example, it is not what you eat, but how much you
eat that affects longevity; vitamin supplements may be a waste of time and
money; and a little upper-body strengthening is far more effective than an hour
on a StairMaster.
To support this advice, Gupta relates the experiences of a 103-year-old woman
from Okinawa; a former executive who began training at age 86 and is a
record-breaking sprinter at age 92; and others who are aging well by staying
active, eating wisely, being positive, and maintaining strong social networks.
While stem cell injections, nanotechnology, cryonics and other possible
therapies are on the horizon, Gupta tells readers that extending life today is
as easy as eating less, moving more, and exercising the brain. While Gupta's mix
of futuristic science and do-it-yourself advice is far from seamless, many
readers will find the lessons in his tales of the long lived worthwhile.
