Binge Drinking Dangers
by Dr Andreas Movement Therapy and Muscle Rehab
About Me View My Posts
“I occasionally drink too much, but it’s not a problem for me.” How many people have said that? They may be fooling themselves if they think that going overboard, or “binge drinking” of alcohol doesn’t affect their overall health.Just four glasses of wine for women or five glasses for men in 2 hours can do more harm to a person's health than previously thought, according to new research from the University... 4/25/2015 7:00:00 AM

Being There For Your Family Starts Here

It’s a familiar scene. You’re out at a café at lunch and you see a child and what looks to be their parent sitting at a two-person table. The parent is scrolling through their phone endlessly, picking at their meal, making zero eye-contact with their kid, and the child is playing a mindless game on an iPad or tablet barely touching their food.I feel disheartened when I see a parent and child “spending... 4/15/2015 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
I was throwing it right at you! Why didn’t you catch it? You’re supposed to catch the ball!” This was a typical experience for me in physical education – the most dreaded part of my school day. “Thanks a lot, Pavita! You made us lose!” The taunting would continue through the end of class, but it didn’t stop on the court or on the field. It followed me into the locker room, where I was teased for being... 4/13/2015 7:00:00 AM

Want to know my big needle mover for fast, lasting fat loss? It has nothing -- and everything -- to do with the foods you eat and exercise you do.The best thing you can do to stay lean and healthy involves a good night's sleep. I'm talking quantity and quality here. If you sleep eight hours, but wake up three times during the night to go to the bathroom, you're not getting high-quality sleep, and the... 4/13/2015 7:00:00 AM

Abused Animals Make Unhealthy Food--Here's Why
by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
There is a major shift taking place right now that may have consequences even those of us who are condemning it may not fully appreciate, much less explain to others. Actually, this so-called "shift" has been in the making for decades but, because it is being implemented so slow and surreptitiously, many people aren't even aware of what is taking place. If they are aware, they either don't have the... 4/8/2015 7:00:00 AM

Food Addiction (Part 2): Your Food Rehab Program
by Dr. Sara Gottfried, M.D.
About Me View My Posts
Food addiction is when you eat for a state change, and keep eating in an obsessive way in the face of harm from it. I’ve written about my own struggle with food addiction in my new book The Hormone Reset Diet and in my last blog on food addiction. I outlined the ways that “Big Food” hooks you into food addiction and conditioned overeating through the targeted design of foods that combine sugar, flour,... 4/6/2015 9:00:00 PM

About Me View My Posts
Most of us have a wonderful relationship with food. Beyond eating for survival, we enjoy food in moderation and know that it brings us nutrition, joy, and health. For some people, though, food is an obsession that dominates their life. Food addiction—a cluster of chemical dependencies that leads to a loss of control over food—can wreak havoc. In many respects, the behavior of food addicts is similar... 3/30/2015 7:00:00 AM

Am I Gluten Intolerant?
by Gini Warner
About Me View My Posts
Gluten is a protein contained in wheat, barley, and rye. It gives a doughy/elastic consistency to flours derived from these grains. This is why, over the centuries, gluten-containing grains have come to be used so extensively in breads and other baked goods. Today, gluten is used in many processed and pre-made foods. Though there may be no detectable symptoms of the immune response to gluten, the typical... 3/30/2015 7:00:00 AM

I just attended a very useful meeting, where there is a consensus that maybe how we practice primary care, an ideal, is actually a failure in reality. To some, it could look like a big power trip for a physician to invite you into her or his “territory,” ask you to sit on the end of a hard examination table half-naked, and offer no recognition that you took a half day off and maybe a quarter of tank... 3/28/2015 7:00:00 AM

Telemedicine is here:Telemedicine, for those not familiar with the term, was conceived four decades ago and is literally “healing at a distance,” according to the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO’s telemedicine interpretation is:The delivery of health care services, where distance is a critical factor, by all health care professionals using information and communication technologies… all in the... 3/26/2015 7:00:00 AM
