* Study finds spinach, eggs ward off cause of blindness *
Two nutrients found in eggs, spinach and other leafy green vegetables offer some
protection against the most common cause of blindness among the elderly,
researchers said on Monday.
Age-related macular degeneration affects 1.2 million Americans, mostly after age
65, and the irreversible condition gets gradually worse, robbing victims of the
center of their vision. Many people may be susceptible due to genetic factors,
while smoking is known to heighten the risk.
The two nutrients, lutein and zeaxanthin, are both carotenoids -- compounds that
give many fruits and vegetables a yellow color.

* Vitamin E may reduce blood clots in women: study *
Regular doses of vitamin E may reduce the risk of life-threatening blood clots
in women, researchers reported on Monday.
But they cautioned that more research is needed to confirm the link in the
prevention of the clots, known as venous thromboembolism, and said patients
should not stop taking prescribed blood thinners.

* Asthma Common in College Athletes? Exercise-Induced Asthma Seen in 42 of 107
College Athletes Studied; Many Had No Asthma History *
Many college athletes may have exercise-induced asthma and not know it, a new
study shows.
In exercise-induced asthma, the airways narrow during or shortly after exercise.
The new study on exercise-induced asthma included 107 varsity athletes at Ohio
State University. Their sports include basketball, football, gymnastics, ice
hockey, lacrosse, rowing, tennis, volleyball, and wrestling.

* Hyper Kids? Cut Out Preservatives *
Parents who suspect that artificial ingredients in food are affecting their
children's behavior can now point to some cold, hard proof. A carefully designed
study released Thursday in The Lancet, a leading British medical journal, shows
that a variety of common food dyes and the preservative sodium benzoate -- an
ingredient in many soft drinks, fruit juices, salad dressings and other foods --
causes some children to become more hyperactive and distractible than usual.

* Depression *
If you become depressed, vividly remind yourself of an upbeat, resourceful
memory before imagining the future. If a friend, co-worker, or family member is
depressed, you can seamlessly use the same sequence to help him or her feel more
hopeful about the future.
Depression is the common cold of mental health. When researchers have depressed
people imagine the future, it is usually bleak. If you've ever told someone,
"Cheer up, tomorrow will be a better day," you got that look that says, "Yeah,
right."

* Weight Loss *
Weight loss plans come in all shapes and sizes. Some are fad diets that are too
restrictive to follow more than a couple of weeks, while others are provided by
professionals that make customized plans for us. All of them give us some
guidelines on what we should and shouldn't eat to ultimately reach our weight
loss goals. No matter how many food plans we try, healthy or unhealthy, there
are some fundamental things you must know in order to be successful in a weight
loss program that, believe it or not, have nothing to do with food.

* Stress *
There are two types of stress. The first type is acute stress. That's the kind
where your body senses danger and adapts to the threat by making physical
changes which enable you to quickly get out of harm's way. This occurs because
your body secretes chemicals and stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol.
These chemicals are secreted in response to your thoughts and cause your body to
prepare for "fight or flight." For example, let's say you are crossing the
street and you notice a car quickly approaching. ...

*** Book Review: YOU: The Owner's Manual: An Insider's Guide to the Body That
Will Make You Healthier and Younger - By Michael F. Roizen, M.D., and Mehmet C.
Oz, M.D. ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
If there ever was a pair of docs who can make the small intestine seem truly
intriguing, here they are. Dr. Mehmet Oz is an alternative-medicine maverick and
a cardiologist known to implement acupuncture during open-heart surgery. Dr.
Michael Roizen developed the RealAge concept of calculating one's biological, as
opposed to chronological, age. Here they've whipped up a witty guide to the
workings of the entire body, appropriate not just for those who can't tell their
pancreas from their pituitary. Even Cheers' Cliff Claven types who think they
know it all will likely be humbled by the 50-question "body-quotient" quiz that
starts off the book.
With much sassy humor (they describe the adrenals as similar in shape to Mr.
Potato Head's hat), they give a guided tour of the body's anatomy and major
systems (hormonal, nervous, digestive, sensory, etc.), including plenty of
fascinating trivia along the way. How often should you get your thyroid level
checked? How much gas does the average person produce in a day? And, most
important, how many times a year do most people have sex?? Drs. Oz and Roizen
know. They also reveal plenty of bizarre (and potentially life-saving) facts
such as this: If your earlobe has a prominent vertical wrinkle, it's likely that
your arteries are aging faster than they ought to be. If only 8th-grade health
class had been this fun.
The docs' main goal in presenting all this info is twofold: first, it's your
body, so shouldn't you finally learn how it works? And, second, they want to
help teach ways of preserving the body's health and youthfulness. To that end,
they've included an "Owner's Manual Diet," a 10-day menu plan designed not for
weight loss, but to make you feel "years younger." Its simple recipes are each
meant to benefit a certain body system, such as Tomato Bruschetta, packed with
the antioxidant lycopene, which has been proven to boost immunity. --Erica
Jorgensen
