dietary calcium may be better at protecting bone health.

* Portion control dishes aid weight loss: study *
Commercially available portion control plates and bowls can help obese
individuals with type 2 diabetes lose weight and reduce their need for blood
sugar-controlling medications, according to a Canadian study published today.
Most cases of type 2 diabetes are directly related to obesity, note
investigators, and the obesity epidemic is paralleled by increasing portion
sizes in the marketplace.

* Osteoporosis *
Osteoporosis is affecting millions, men and women.
Some factors that INCREASE bone loss are:
1. Lack of weigh-bearing exercise.
2. Not enough vitamin D. This also contributes to breast, prostate, colon
cancer, and chronic muscle aches and pains. Over 1/2 the females and 1/3 the
males in the USA have a deficiency in vitamin D.

regarding bone loss" - By Margie Garrison, go to

* Heart Health *
Stress--we're all aware of the feeling--overburdened, overwhelmed, and at times
ready to pull our hair out. Yet, can it really be damaging physically? Can it
lead to heart trouble?
A recent heart patient illustrates this question. John, a middle-aged man with a
ruddy complexion and large eyes, had been admitted to the hospital on my
cardiology practice because of terrible pains that gripped his chest. The pain
was in fact a heart attack, quite a large one.

Disease?" - By Dr. Kirk Laman, go to

* Spirituality *
We must learn to listen. If you listen quietly, you will hear the still, small
voice from within. Hear and listen for evidences of truth around you. First,
learn how to relax. Start by heaving a huge sigh of relief; then, inflate your
lungs. Take at least six deep breaths, think pure thoughts: How high is that
mountain? How blue is the sky? How clean is the air?
