Regular Physical Activity Helps Enhance Mind As Well As Body
We all know that regular exercise is good for us physically. What we don't always take into account is that aside from the well-documented physical effects, working out has a mental component as well. Exercise is being used for mood enhancement and as an alternative to medication for treatment of depression as it increases the levels of endorphins in the brain, reduces cortisol levels, and provides a sense of accomplishment.

Other Ways to Get Omega-3 Fatty Acids in the Diet
If you're not a fish eater, don't despair. There are other sources of omega-3s; they're just not as concentrated as those in fish. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EHA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are the two healthful types of omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil. Linolenic acid, found in nuts and seeds (particularly walnuts, soybeans, flaxseed and butternuts) can, to a limited extent, be converted by the body into EPA and DHA and provide beneficial effects similar to fish oil. Canola, soybean, flaxseed and walnut oils and wheat germ also offer linolenic acid.

Acupuncture Could Ease Dental Fears
There are hundreds of dental patients, who normally avoid the dentist's chair because they suffer from an exaggerated gagging reaction each time they undergo treatment. Many dental surgeons are now using acupuncture to treat these patients in the normal way, but without discomfort or embarrassment. The move comes after research showed that patients, who normally had to be sedated to prevent them from gagging, were given fillings and had teeth extracted after acupuncture was carried out.

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
Fibre is the term that describes remnants of plant cells that are resistant to human digestion. The usual sources are vegetables, cereals, bread, nuts, seeds and fruits. Although medical researchers have been recommending high fibre diets for about twenty years, and sales of metamucil and other bulk laxatives have gone up, there has been no significant increase in fibre consumption from food and the fibre intake of Americans is far below recommended levels. This is unfortunate, because the fibre found in food is far more complex than the purified powders sold in drug stores. In "Understanding Dietary Fibre" Dr. Galland discusses the need for both soluble and insoluble fibre in the diet and that the best source is from foods.

Mind Body Health Newsletter
Imagine the world without pleasure. Life would appear colorless and humorless. Human beings evolved to seek enjoyment to enhance survival. Yet, at nearly every turn pleasure has gotten a bad name. People are almost phobic about having fun. In "Healthy Pleasures" David S. Sobel, M.D. reminds us that worrying too much about anything - including calories, salt, cancer, and cholesterol - can rob our life of vitality, and that living optimistically, with pleasure, zest, and commitment enriches if not lengthens life.

Keeping Fit
The traditional bodyweight exercises are effective for improving muscle strength and endurance, although not as productive as progressive resistance exercises performed with free-weights or weight-stack machines. In "Making Bodyweight Exercises More Challenging" Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. suggests using slower movement speeds to reduce the role of momentum and force the muscles to work a lot harder. He presents details for using this technique with the five most common bodyweight exercises - knee-bends (squats), trunk curls, push-ups, bar-dips and chin-ups.

Echoes of Silence
Each of us, in our own way, is seeking liberation - to experience the rapture of reality. We try through addition, but it only comes from subtraction - when we empty ourselves of everything. Then there is silence. Our entry into this silence marks the end of meditation as a practice and the beginning of meditation as a state of being. In "Meditation Is A White Rose" Robert Rabbin explains how to know your most perfect Self.
