* Aging boomers fuel 'brain fitness' explosion *

Chester Santos has been training his brain for seven years.

At 32, he's not worried about losing his memory. He's taking advantage of a growing market in "brain fitness" spurred by aging baby boomers.

Teenagers cramming for tests and people worried about "senior moments" can now turn to an explosion of brain-assisting video games, such as Nintendo's Brain Age; puzzles that are said to ward off dementia, such as Sudoku and crosswords; and online tips that claim to train the brain.

* Nine Ways to Become a Morning Person: If you're a late-night person living in an early-rising world, here's how to adjust your body clock and make getting up easier. *

Night owls don't have it easy. After all, few people can choose to show up at work or school late. And that night-owl tendency -- sleep doctors call it a "delayed sleep phase," in which you go to bed and rise late -- is hard to change. "Some people have this tendency right from the minute they come out of the womb," says Dr. Nancy Collop, director of the Johns Hopkins Hospital Sleep Disorders Center in Baltimore. ...

* Coping With "Debt Stress Syndrome": For Many, Mounting Debt Taking Toll Not Only On Pocketbooks, But Health *

In debt and stressed out?

You're far from alone.

Americans are drowning in debt. It's a growing problem, made worse by a sagging economy.

* Addiction *

Treatment for people with addiction problems, particularly in a residential rehab, is notoriously expensive. The fees for such treatments often run into thousands of pounds or dollars a month. Unfortunately, most people who have addiction problems cannot afford such expensive treatments, and so have to go without this kind of help. Recent developments on the internet have brought a new range of treatments that are more within the price range of those who need them. This article will review some of the web-based services for alcohol problems and their costs.

* Body Fat *

We all know why it's important to detox ourselves from time to time, but how many of us directly connect our toxic load with how much fat we carry, especially stubborn fat?

And how many of us directly connect the toxic load we carry with our ability to get up in the morning, go to the gym, feel happy, and generally take from life what we want each and every day?

* Aromatherapy *

Is the workday dragging? You may need more sleep or more stimulating work, but since you probably can't do anything to address these issues on the spot, take a whiff or two of some coffee or chocolate instead. Pop psychology hogwash? Nope. Actually, the human sense of smell is more powerful than you may realize.

According to researchers from the Wheeling Jesuit University, just smelling chocolate and coffee can perk us up and help us to complete tasks more efficiently.

*** Book Review:  The Lifestyle Fitness Program: A Six Part Plan So Every Mom Can Look, Feel and Live Her Best - By Debi Silber ***
-------------------------------------------------------------

This book is an excellent guide book that is all about health and wellness every mom deserves. It is divided into several sections, each one addressing a different issue of the health and fitness program the author offers to women. The nutritional fitness program is exceptionally interesting as it includes issues every mom should know about, such as the popular diet topic, the food guide pyramid, portions and plate sizes, and so on. Debi also mentions the issue of emotional eating and offers solutions that are easy to accomplish. Another important topic is the stress factor. This section is a must for all moms who care for their family and tend to neglect themselves. The physical fitness program comes next with useful tips and advice, and then the emotional, relationship, and spiritual programs, all very interesting to read and practice.

The book is written in a simple and clear style, and readers can easily follow the advice offered by the author in each section. There are weekly goals to accomplish in every single chapter, thus making it easier to stick to the plan and have results. It caters to every mom who thinks her lifestyle is a mess and needs some change. Even if the reader does not change much in their lifestyle, this guide book will benefit them as it offers a positive outlook in a woman’s lifestyle. It is encouraging and worth reading. --Liana Metal at MidwestBookReview.com
