* 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.

The American Medical Association said on Wednesday it wants fast-food and chain restaurants to add nutritional information to menus and menu boards as part of an effort to combat obesity in the United States.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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?
