* Mediterranean diet wards off asthma, allergy: study *
Children of women who eat a Mediterranean diet rich in fruits and vegetables
while pregnant are far less likely to develop asthma or allergies later in life,
Greek researchers said on Tuesday.
And eating vegetables more than eight times a week, fish more than three times a
week and legumes more than once a week seems to boost the protection, the
researchers said in the journal Thorax.

* Eating slowly may not help you shed pounds: How the food tastes is what
counts, not how fast you consume it *
It's long been thought that if you wolf down your food, you'll consume more
calories during meals. People trying to control their weight are told to pause
between spoonfuls and to put the fork down while chewing.
Diet experts have been pushing this advice since the early 1970s, but does it
really work? It started with the suggestion that obese people eat faster than
lean people. In fact, there's little solid evidence showing that eating more
slowly affects how much you weigh.

* 3 Nutrients May Cut Cataract Risk: Getting Enough Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and
Vitamin E May Make Cataracts Less Likely *
The antioxidants lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin E may help prevent cataracts,
according to a new study on nutrition and eye health.
The study's key finding: Women who get more lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin E
are less likely to develop cataracts than women who skimp on those nutrients.
Foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin include leafy green vegetables (such as
spinach, kale, turnip greens, collards, and mustard greens), squash, green peas,
broccoli, pumpkin, and corn.

* More women need folic acid supplements: U.S. experts *
More U.S. women are taking daily supplements of folic acid, a B vitamin crucial
to prevent some major birth defects, but the number remains too low, federal
health officials said on Thursday.
Forty percent of women ages 18 to 45 said in a survey last year that they took
the supplements each day, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
said in a report.
That compares to 28 percent in 1995, the CDC said.

* Feng Shui *
Let's face it: most of your resolutions belong under the 3 major categories of
improving your Health, Relationships, or Finances. For example, some of you have
resolved to improve your health through diet and exercise. Still others intend
to improve your relationships or begin a new one. Becoming debt-free or earning
more are also very popular New Year's resolutions every year. Let's face it...
everything that's important in your life falls in the categories of Health,
Relationships, or Financial issues, which are the same categories that are
directly affected by the existing Feng Shui influences in your home and office.

Resolution... You Can Keep!" - By P.K. Odle, go to

* Overwhelm *
Yesterday I had lunch with a dear friend, a marketing manager for a real estate
company. Judy travels on business and has a one-year old daughter. In 2 minutes,
she quickly shared the following: her nanny unexpectedly quit, she's negotiating
complex business deals, she's building a house, selling her own condo, and her
administrative assistant recently crossed over. She felt her husband did not
understand the time commitment involved in mothering. To boot, she was worried
about losing weight and looking beautiful.

* Sleep *
Guided imagery has been an especially effective tool in alleviating many kinds
of sleep disturbances. When children and adolescents have difficulty sleeping at
night, imagery can offer a soothing and comforting way to drift off into dreams.
Children discover their own solutions by using tools such as meeting a wise
friend (animal or human) for advice or receiving a special gift to help fall
asleep.

Blanket of Sleep" - By Charlotte Reznick, Ph.D., go to

*** Book Review: The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea –
By Bob Burg and John David Mann ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
"The Go-Giver" tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns
for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes he feels as if the harder
and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be. And so one day,
desperate to land a key sale at the end of a bad quarter, he seeks advice from
the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant referred to by his many devotees
simply as the Chairman.
Over the next week, Pindar introduces Joe to a series of "go-givers": a
restaurateur, a CEO, a financial adviser, a real estate broker, and the
"Connector," who brought them all together. Pindar's friends share with Joe the
Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and teach him how to open himself up to the
power of giving.
Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving -- putting others'
interests first and continually adding value to their lives -- ultimately leads
to unexpected returns.
Imparted with wit and grace, "The Go-Giver" is a heartwarming and inspiring tale
that brings new relevance to the old proverb "Give and you shall receive."
