Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
As if the human immune system and the many health conditions it impacts aren’t complex enough. Try wrapping your brain around this. Some new Yale research paints a wild picture of how the immune system in the gut, controlled by a mix of good and bad bacteria or “microflora,” may actually be transferred from one [...]
You ever wonder why so many political consultants and managers seem a bit sickly, overweight, pale, etc.? They live in a world of conflict, of attack mode politics, of demonizing. And they live it 24/7. The pros who make it big in this field endure this existence for years. Or how about a manager or [...]
Now that 2012 is under way, how about a simple resolution for lifelong health that you can easily remember: The Five S’s. Or Sx5. The Five S’s refer to five things you can do to maintain optimal immune health. In my book, these measures will also impact many other health areas, including weight, cardio, skin [...]
Hopefully, you’re enjoying some great holiday food. But don’t overdo the sugar. I don’t want to be a killjoy (as I am writing this I’m eating a bag of nuts mixed with chocolate-covered raisins). However, processed sugar, as we all know, it is hard to avoid and if we could just get a handle on [...]
A recent story in the New York Times really struck me. It’s a fascinating account of a professional financial planner, of all people, who lost his home to foreclosure, the result of buying way more house than the family budget could handle, especially in the wake of the downturn in home values. In his account [...]
The temperature went from the pleasant low 80′s to near 100 yesterday and today in Iowa. After a nightly walk with my wife, and after sweating my keister off mowing the lawn, I went to the fridge and downed massive amounts of water. I can almost physically feel the water do its magic after drinking [...]
Now this homemade video is something I think is outstanding. How to make ginger root popsicles. Ginger root has some science behind it, showing anti-inflammatory and immune health benefits. Since it’s still about 90 degrees here in Iowa right now, I might try to make these these this week. I love popsicles.
A scan of health news and opinion over the past few weeks found some new informational nuggets in the world of immune function and natural health: Here’s a sampling: The London Daily Mail Online has a story about research showing the immune health benefits of going on vacation (or holiday, as they say in Europe) [...]
Many people think of colds, flu and similar health conditions when they think of the immune system. The basic thought process is, the immune system attacks viruses and bacteria when they enter the body, help the body to fend off sickness or heal after an illness. But immune health means so much more than that. [...]
I’m watching the championship match of the Women’s World Cup. I cannot respect these soccer athletes enough. They are hard-nosed, gritty, tough and they can run 20 miles during the match and still have gas in the tank when the match is finished. In other words, they are highly conditioned. I’d rate soccer players with [...]
