Vitamin C Might Prevent Cataracts in Women
Women who take vitamin C supplements during their younger and middle-age years may reduce their chances of cataracts later in life. Researchers also found women who never smoked and had high intakes of the nutrients folate and carotenoids also showed a reduction in cataracts. The findings suggest certain nutrients, when taken consistently and regularly throughout life, could potentially decrease the chances of one of the most common age-related conditions - cataracts.

Doctors, Psychiatrists Turning to Magnets
For decades, magnets have occupied a place among alternative treatments, alongside herbs and acupuncture. As more and more uses of magnets are being promoted with good scientific background, they are gradually gaining more acceptance among healthcare professionals. Researchers theorize that the magnetic therapy may work by activating sluggish nerve cells in the left prefrontal cortex.

Food Supplements Found to Reverse the Aging Process
Scientists studying rats found that a vital energy-producing enzyme within the cells was less active in old rats compared with their younger counterparts. Adding two dietary supplements (acetyl-L-carnitine and alpha-lipoic acid) to the rats' food restored the enzyme's activity to a level close to that found in young animals. They then seemed to have much more vigour and were much more active than animals not on this diet and had a reversal in loss of memory. This dual-track improvement is considered significant and unique.

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
Iron is unique among essential minerals, because there is no mechanism for its excretion once absorbed into the body. Whatever iron is absorbed must either be used or stored and excessive storage of iron in the body promotes the generation of free radicals. In "Dangers of Iron Supplements" Dr. Galland reports that excess dietary iron has been implicated by some scientists as a cause of cancer and heart disease, and that it also increases the risk of bacterial infection. "No one should ever take iron supplements unless iron deficiency is present, says Dr. Galland, "with the possible exception of pregnant women."

Mind Body Health Newsletter
If you are like the majority of patients, several weeks after a health evaluation you will probably remember less than half of what the doctor told you. In "Doctors and Patients: Not on the Same Wavelength" David S. Sobel, M.D. presents the reasons for this "disconnect" and key points for improvement.

Keeping Fit
As recent as several decades ago the prevailing misunderstanding was that youth strength training was either dangerous or worthless. Many feared that lifting weights would damage bone growth plates. Others felt strength training was useless because young muscles did not have the capacity to gain strength apart from normal growth processes. In "Keeping Fit: Studies Show Significant Gains in Young Muscles" Dr. Wayne L. Wescott reports on five studies involving well over 100 boys and girls. The results showed the absence of any exercise-related injuries. It suggests that well-designed and well-supervised strength training programs are a safe and productive means for improving muscle strength and body composition in teen and pre-teen boys and girls.

Chinese Medicine Network
In the West, when we think of "herbal tea," what usually comes to mind is simple peppermint or chamomile tea, the ol' western stand-by's. In "All the ... Herbal ... Tea in China" Laurel Skurko Kao explains that in Asia herbal teas are often serious medicine. She presents refreshment teas and "medicated teas" plus why and how they might benefit you.

Healthy Bookstore
Invoking the "mystical, magical, or metaphysical" aspects of our relationships with animals in "Kindred Spirits: How the Remarkable Bond Between Humans and Animals Can Change the Way We Live" veterinarian Allen Schoen recounts his dawning awareness of amazing acts of courage and compassion by animals toward both their human companions and one another. This "left-brained" man of science tells how he gradually learned, with the help of his golden retriever, to observe and respond to an animal's emotional state. "As we learn more about our connections to animals, we will consider them our heart," Schoen believes. "More than anything else on this earth, animals have the facility to make sure we remain connected to our deepest feelings."

Biofeedback is generally defined as the presentation to a person of ongoing biological information, such as heart rate, usually by means of meters, lights, or auditory signals, so that he or she can become aware of inside-the-skin behaviors. With biofeedback it is quite easy to learn to control certain autonomic functions. In "Biofeedback" Elmer Green, Ph.D. explains how biofeedback works - how imagination of a change in physiological processes gets converted into an actual physiological process.
