* Meditation technique can lower blood pressure *

Practicing a particular type of meditation twice a day can significantly reduce blood pressure, according to an analysis of existing research on the technique.

The blood pressure reductions associated with regular practice of transcendental meditation, or TM, would translate to a 12-15 percent reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular causes and a 15-20 percent lower risk of stroke, Dr. James W. Anderson, the study's lead author, told Reuters Health.

* Yoga helps older women balance and stand taller *

Elderly women showed measurable improvements in their walking speed and balance after a nine-week yoga program -- and they gained a centimeter in height, on average, Philadelphia researchers report.

"The only explanation may be that they are standing more upright, not so much crouching," study chief Dr. Jinsup Song of Temple University told Reuters Health. Song presented the findings April 4 at the Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society's Annual Meeting.

* Diet helps prevent cardiac trouble in women: Govt. recommended plan lowered heart attack rate 24 percent, study says *

A large study offers the strongest evidence yet that a diet the government recommends for lowering blood pressure can save people from heart attack and stroke.

Researchers followed more than 88,000 healthy women for almost 25 years. They examined their food choices and looked at how many had heart attacks and strokes. Those who fared best had eating habits similar to those recommended by the government to stop high blood pressure.

* The Potato: Undeserved Bad Rep -- Still Affordable, and Actually Healthy; Toppings and Prep Are the Problems *

The potato is misunderstood.

Long thought of by many as unhealthy, that reputation is off-base, experts say. It's what folks put ON potatoes, and how they're prepared, that can make potato dishes bad for you.

On The Early Show Thursday, Bon Appetit magazine Contributing Editor Dede Wilson stuck up for the potatoes, pointing out their merits.

* Personal Training *

At 3D PTS, functional training runs through the core of everything we do, and I wanted to share with you today why we think it's important, why we think it's important for personal trainers, and the benefits for you if you're training or being trained.

The buzz word in the gym and in the personal training world these days is functional training. It has many meanings to many practitioners in the health and fitness industry so let's highlight some of the benefits:

* Subliminal Messages *

The U.S. Government tried to ban them on TV and radio back in 1974. They were once arguably used to boost sales of popcorn in movie theaters by almost 60%. And today, they're the subject of numerous Derren Brown-style "mind" shows airing throughout the globe.

I'm talking, of course, about subliminal messages.

However, despite all the media hype, subliminal messages aren't just used by advertising moguls trying to get us to buy another can of Coke. They can also be employed to make serious and lasting change in our own lives.

* Back Pain *

Let me start out by saying that I have had back pain and I have had sciatica. So I know the feeling. I know how frustrating it can be, and I know how it can suck the joy right out of your life.

Be careful not to do dumb things

Shortly after I graduated from high school, I owned a landscaping company. I worked hard because I wanted the good stuff out of life. I really pushed myself, sometimes taking on jobs I did not even know how to do. ...

*** Book Review: Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, Nutrition-Based Cure - By Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D. ***
-------------------------------------------------------------

Based on the groundbreaking results of a twenty-year nutritional study by Dr. Esselstyn, a preeminent researcher and clinician, this book illustrates that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease, but can also reverse its effects. The proof lies in the incredible outcomes for patients who have followed Dr. Esselstyn's program, including a number of patients in his original study who had been told by their cardiologists that they had less than a year to live. Within months of starting the program, Dr. Esselstyn's patients began to improve dramatically, and twenty years later, they remain free of symptoms.

Complete with more than 150 delicious recipes, this book explains the science behind the simple plan that has drastically changed the lives of Dr. Esselstyn's patients forever. It will empower readers to take control of their heart health.
