* Doctors Urged to Prescribe Exercise: Medical Groups Ask Doctors to Order
Regular Exercise for Their Patients *
Take a walk around the neighborhood and call me in the morning.
That's what you're likely to hear from your doctor if several big medical groups
succeed in their latest public relations push. The groups, including the
American Medical Association (AMA) and the American College of Sports Medicine,
want doctors to order regular exercise for practically all their patients.
The new campaign is called "Exercise is Medicine."

* Yoga boosts health in heart failure patients: study *
An eight-week regimen of yoga proved safe for patients with chronic heart
failure and helped reduce signs of inflammation often linked with death,
according to a study released on Monday.
More than 5 million Americans have chronic heart failure, a long-term condition
in which the heart no longer pumps blood efficiently to the body's other organs.
Health problems and deaths from the disease remain high despite widespread use
of effective drug and device therapies to treat the condition.

* Study: Carrying Around an Extra 25 Pounds Doesn't Appear to Raise Risk of
Dying From Cancer, Heart Disease *
Being 25 pounds overweight doesn't appear to raise your risk of dying from
cancer or heart disease, says a new government study that seems to vindicate
Grandma's claim that a few extra pounds won't kill you.
Released just a few weeks before Thanksgiving, the findings might comfort some
who can't seem to lose those last 15 pounds. And they hearten proponents of a
theory that it's possible to be "fit and fat."
The news isn't all good: Overweight people do have a higher chance of dying from
diabetes and kidney disease.

* Energy drinks jolt blood pressure, study says: People at risk should avoid
beverages with high levels of caffeine, taurine *
The increasingly popular high-caffeine beverages called energy drinks may do
more than give people a jolt of energy -- they may also boost heart rates and
blood pressure levels, researchers said on Tuesday.
The results of a small study prompted the researchers to advise people who have
high blood pressure or heart disease to avoid energy drinks because they could
impact their blood pressure or change the effectiveness of their medications.

*** Health/Safety Tips & Articles for the Week ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Meditation *
My definition of "meditation" is a somewhat broad one. I consider meditation is
an opportunity to realize your higher consciousness (or to realize your oneness
with your higher consciousness) and to let go of resistance.
There are many benefits to meditation, which I see as side effects or extras,
rather than the primary purpose of meditation. However, many individuals are
inspired to meditate because of benefits or perceived benefits, such as improved
health, greater calmness, less sleep. Regular meditators are generally more
attentive, aware, and calm.

Consciousness" - By Jeanie Marshall, go to

* Stress *
Has your life been out of control lately? If so then join the crowd. The
American Institute of Stress estimates that over 40 percent of Americans suffer
from chronic stress, and as many of 20 percent feel completely overwhelmed. It's
no wonder that prescriptions for medications to deal with anxiety are among the
most commonly written by physicians.
How can you tell if you're effectively handling the stress in your life? One
simple method for accessing your coping skills is to take your own pulse.
Interestingly, the quality and speed that your heart beats on a daily basis can
be a marker for your response to stressful situations.

Clue" - By Kirk Laman, D.O., go to

* Enchantment *
In my years as a psychologist, I have come to believe that most people seeking
psychotherapy are unhappy. This is not only due to earlier hurts and traumas, as
well as present frustrations and problems, but because they cannot access
earlier happy moments often enough. The unfortunate result is not being able to
experience enough positive states of well-being. It is these unique states of
well being that I have come to label THE ENCHANTED SELF.

*** Book Review: The Truth About Food: What You Eat Can Change Your Life - By
Jill Fullerton-Smith ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
Not a week passes without one food-related issue or another making the
headlines. We worry about additives, preservatives, eating disorders, hygiene,
heart disease, cancer, and calories (just to name a few), so it's little wonder
that we are utterly confused! In an attempt to make sense of the bewildering and
often contradictory information on what to eat and why, the Discovery Health
ChannelR debuted "The Truth About Food" in September 2007. This major five-part
series was hosted by Dr. Mehmet Oz, the bestselling author of "YOU: The Owner's
Manual." This companion book to the series synthesizes years of research and
groundbreaking experiments by leading research centers, hospitals, and doctors,
carried out especially for the series. This is the first book to finally
assemble some of the most important findings and then put them through rigorous
testing.
Can calcium help you absorb fewer calories? Are there foods that increase male
fertility? Are tomatoes nature's sunscreen? "The Truth About Food" is arranged
into six main sections:
1) How to Stay Young and Beautiful
2) How to Be Sexy and Fertile
3) How to Look Good and Stay Slim
4) How to Perform at Your Peak
5) How to Stay Healthy
6) How to Raise Healthy Kids
User-friendly and engaging, "The Truth About Food" features over 60
illustrations, clear explanations of scientific terms, helpful tips, chapter
summaries, and much more. This is the one food book you won't want to be
without!
