* "Friendly" Bacteria May Boost Health: Probiotics Pique the Interest of Scientists and Food Marketers *



Bugs in baby food? Microbes in your milkshake? Relax, this is not the latest tainted food scare -- it's a growing trend in foods designed to boost health, not make you sick.

These products contain probiotics, or "friendly" bacteria similar to those found in the human digestive system.

There are supplement pills, yogurts, smoothies, snack bars and cereals, even baby formula and chocolate. Sold by major names like Dannon and Kraft, they're spreading like germs on grocery store shelves and in supermarket dairy cases.

* Early care helps frozen shoulder *

Wake up to find your shoulder killing you but don't recall an injury? It could be the start of frozen shoulder, a curse of middle-aged women and one of the most puzzling joint conditions.

The shoulder's normally smooth lining becomes so inflamed it resembles cherry Jell-O. That leads to scar tissue, making the shoulder too stiff to move.

* 10 holiday no-splurge tips: Fill up on these treats without feeling left out of the fun *



Ghosts of binges past can turn you into a food Scrooge, dodging seasonal celebrations to avoid the fattening feasts that go with them.

"Holidays are for connecting with family and friends," says Christine M. Palumbo, RD, the Illinois chair of delegates for the American Dietetic Association. "Unfortunately, most events come with food attached."

* Heart Attack Symptoms: Sex Difference? Symptoms of Heart Attack Don't Always Include Chest Pain -- for Men or Women *

Researchers today announced that they see no need to draft a different list of heart attack symptoms in women than in men.

While women are less likely than men to report chest pain or discomfort during a heart attack, that difference doesn't warrant a sex-specific rewrite of heart attack symptoms, according to a report published today in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

* Back Pain *

It's getting to be so bad that by Monday afternoon, you're already tired of being at the office. You're not even thinking as far ahead as Friday. Just getting to hump day is going to be challenge enough.

In reality, it's not the folks you work with who are getting you down -- they're tolerable, mostly, although there is that one guy in accounting. Where do they find these people?

* Fear of the Dark *

It's common for children to fear the "monsters in their closet" the second you turn off the lights, but for some kids, the fear stays with them into adulthood. More than 12 percent of the U.S. population suffers from a phobia of some kind, which is an irrational fear of an object or situation that's generally harmless.

According to the Mayo Clinic, "Accompanying the fear is a strong desire to avoid what you fear and, in some cases, an inability to function at normal tasks in your job and in social settings."

* Manifestation *

I turned thirty. I woke up in a state of shock, finally realizing I wasn't a kid anymore. I had no job and no savings or any other assets except an old torn-up electric piano. I was scrounging (a word we used often) to come up with money every month for rent for my little studio apartment in a funky part of Oakland, California.

That day changed my life because I began to apply some ideas in some new ways, ideas that before had just been occasional floating thoughts, ephemeral and remote possibilities in my mind. I sat down and wrote on paper what became -- for me, in my words -- the first secret of manifestation:

*** Book Review: Eat Right -- Your Life Depends On It - By Kathleen Becker, M.A., R.N. and Coreen Reinhart, Certified Nutritionist ***
-------------------------------------------------------------

We now know that when "inflammation" (a normal immune system response to illness and injury) becomes chronic rather than acute, it can be the major underlying factor in the increased incidence of coronary artery disease, cancer, type II diabetes, obesity, and many other chronic inflammatory disease processes. Eating the type of diet recommended in "Eat Right -- Your Life Depends On It," an anti-inflammation diet, can keep a person looking and feeling healthy for years to come.

The body was designed to be in a constant state of balance and harmony. When the human body is given the right blend of nutrients to function well, it will stay in balance. Every human being, young or old, needs the right amount of purified water daily and the right mixture and amount of favorable proteins, carbohydrates (fruits and vegetables), fats, and most certainly, purified pharmaceutical grade Omega 3 fish oil. Illness, disease, and aging can cause the body to spiral into a state of chronic inflammation, but making the right food choices that keep the immune system strong and the body in harmony can dramatically help a person stay healthy, look good, and be well nourished for the duration of their lives.

"Eat Right -- Your Life Depends On It" supplies the reader with a weekly grocery shopping list, a weekly grocery cost comparison chart, a daily menu plan, and many wonderful recipes for the period of six weeks. The book also explains in great detail the basic facts about nutrition, the process of inflammation, and why eating an anti-inflammation diet for life will make a person look good, feel good, and give them the energy required to do good things for themselves and for others. Eating correctly for a more beautiful you and a healthier and happier tomorrow can start today with "Eat Right -- Your Life Depends On It."
