* Saline Nasal Wash Helps Kids Fight Colds, Flu *

Rinsing with a special saline nasal wash made from Atlantic seawater improves symptoms in children with colds and flu, and may prevent recurrence of these infections, a new study claims.

"We brush our teeth every day, however, we do not pay attention to our noses -- a potential gate for infection," said study co-author Dr. Jana Skoupa, of Pharma Projects in Prague, Czech Republic. "Nasal wash should be used, based on our findings, immediately."

* Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Linked to Hormone: Women With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome May Have Lower Levels of Cortisol in the Morning *

Chronic fatigue syndrome may be linked to the stress hormone cortisol, at least in women, according to a new study.

The study shows that women with chronic fatigue syndrome had lower cortisol levels in the morning, compared with healthy women.

* Food Poisoning's Sickening Legacy: Scientists Examine Link Between Foodborne Illnesses and Subsequent Health Problems *

Scientists only now are unraveling a legacy that has largely gone unnoticed.

* Major Headache? Seven Common Migraine Triggers: Many Migraine Culprits Are Preventable, Pain Experts Say *

"All things in moderation" is a wise motto for all of us, but especially for those who suffer from painful migraines.

These skull-crushing headaches can be debilitating and last for days, confining a person to a soft bed in a darkened room.

"It's a pretty disabling headache," said Dr. Lawrence Newman, director of the Headache Institute at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in New York. "It has an effect on your kids, co-workers, family and friends. They all suffer."

* Naturopathic Medicine *

"Naturopathic physicians are some of the best trained doctors when it comes to diagnosing and treating a broad range of health concerns from a natural and holistic perspective," says David Brady, ND, head of the clinical nutrition program at Bridgeport University and a practicing naturopath himself. A naturopathic physician is a medical professional who's been trained in seeing the patient as a whole person, rather than as a collection of symptoms. While in a few states (Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, and Hawaii) they can legally prescribe drugs, their first inclination is to treat patients with a combination of natural non-pharmaceutical treatments including nutrition, herbal and botanical medicine, Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, manipulation, and acupuncture.

* Conscious Eating *

To paraphrase Einstein, one can't solve a problem at the same level of consciousness at which it's created. So then why do we continue to diet to lose weight when we know full well we will gain that same weight back? Why do we swear we will be "good" tomorrow and then fail to achieve that "goodness"?

For some of us, so much of our time and energy is spent worrying about food and our bodies. If we were to free that energy up, imagine how much could be channeled into becoming the passionate, talented, creative person we are. ...

* Fitness Goals *

New Year's Resolutions come and go, but an idea turned into an intention can become a powerful magnet that draws you toward what you truly desire. So what is the difference between a resolution and an intention? How do you create an intention that inspires you rather then repels you away? A resolution is a decision that has been made and determined, and there seems to be no give or take. An intention is a purpose, and is a guide toward a planned action. A purpose can go in different directions and has some give or take. An intention opens us to a world of possibilities and a will to help ourselves.

*** Book Review: The Miracle of Optimism: Change Your Perspective, Transform Your Life. – By Kevin M. Touhey ***
-------------------------------------------------------------

I am an admitted pessimist, and have been for most of my life. That said, I still have some room in my cynical soul for a little hope and inspiration to push through, and Mr. Touhey's book has just the sort of sincere and comfortable quality to reach me.

Touhey's book is revealing, not only about his own familial and personal history, but also about the mistakes people often make in viewing themselves and the world. His lessons and exercises are totally effective in leading people toward a definite change in perspective, and his personal definitions of certain key self-growth ideas are just as helpful. His way of describing self-esteem versus self-confidence influenced me greatly, and inspired me to re-evaluate how I feel about myself and my actions in certain situations.

If you are a reader looking for a different way to view the world and yourself in it, "The Miracle of Optimism," with its relatable storytelling style and its effective lessons and exercises, is a book you need to read.
