Vitamins E, C May Counteract Unhealthy Fast Food
Researchers have found that high intakes of glucose and high-fat, high-calorie fast food meals both cause an increase in the inflammatory components of the blood. They also found that an extra dose of antioxidant vitamins E and C can block this inflammatory response in the bloodstream.

Genetically Altered Food Creates Labeling Dilemma for the Industry
Companies that worry about scientific terminology scaring consumers get relief when the Bush administration puts support behind producers. But if a future president changes direction, the cost of marking engineered products could drive up retail prices. Several environmental and consumer groups have expressed concerns, including long-term health risks, and the GE food issue has sparked protests in Europe, Asia and elsewhere.

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
We all age, but the deterioration associated with aging (called, senescence) is partly under our control. Senescence is speeded up by toxicity and our bodies' response to it. The human body has many natural defenses against environmental toxicity. In "Detoxification: The Key to Longevity" Dr. Galland discusses strategies for limiting free-radical induced damage through dietary antioxidants which help to bolster the body's defense system, including vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids and carotenoids.

Can one or two drinks a day actually be beneficial? In "Here's to Your Heart" David S. Sobel, M.D. outlines the apparent correlation of moderate drinking and a reduction of mortality from heart disease by about a third. Though even moderate alcohol consumption can have a downside, such as an increased risk of breast cancer in women, it appears that the beneficial effects on total mortality outweigh the harmful effects.

Keeping Fit
Have you ever wondered why you should sandwich every workout between a few minutes of warming-up and a few minutes of cooling-down? In "Developing A Warm-Up and Cool-Down Protocol" Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. explains that a progressive warm-up begins an adaptation process in both your cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems, which reduces the risk of premature physical overload and traumatic injuries. The cool-down segment in your exercise session is even more important. During a vigorous exercise session your heart is circulating large quantities of blood throughout your body, especially to the large muscles of the legs. If you simply stop exercising, the heart keeps pumping blood to the legs, but the muscles are no longer moving to facilitate blood return back to the heart, causing the heart to work harder in an attempt to force more blood through the system.

Healthy Woman Update
Do you have difficulty in sleeping, or disturbed sleep patterns leaving the perception of insufficient sleep? The key to successful treatment of insomnia is to find the cause and deal with it. This may be anything in the realm of human life, from deep grief to constipation. In "Insomnia" David L. Hoffmann B.Sc. (Hons), M.N.I.M.H. discusses actions indicated for the processes behind this disease. Often the key to successful treatments lies in focusing upon some part or function of the body that is experiencing problems. He matches system support with appropriate herbal options.

Healthy Recipes - Fabulous Functional Foods
Danish chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan offers us a "Sesame-Flaxseed Shake with Banana" that beats a regular milkshake, both in terms of taste and nutritive value. The sesame seeds contain lots of calcium and other minerals and the flaxseed is rich in alpha-linolenic acid, which is anti-inflammatory.

Healthy Alternatives
Many conventional physicians have difficulty facing arthritic patients: there is little that conventional medicine offers them. The lucky ones get temporary relief along with drug side effects; the unlucky ones only get the side effects. Homeopathic medicine, on the other hand, is a natural pharmaceutical system that uses extremely small doses of substances from the plant, mineral, or animal kingdom to augment a person's own immune and defense system according to homeopathic expert Dana Ullman in "Homeopathic Medicines for Arthritis." Based on the "principle of similars," homeopathy uses substances which would actually cause, if given in large dose to experimental subjects, the similar symptoms that a sick person experiences.
