War can be a frightening presence in our children's lives. Communities and parents need to respond to children's questions and concerns and help them make sense out of what is happening. What you say and do depends upon the age of the child, the questions the child asks, and your own political and moral beliefs. Whatever you feel about what's happening, you want to encourage children to continue to be curious about the world and to come to you with questions and concerns.

Effective, ancient herbal formulas, adapted for contemporary health needs by a well-known TCM practitioner, can accomplish this now. These unique formulas with the time-tested power to help resolve menopausal symptoms - for good - can make a tremendous difference in women's health.

Simply Well
Commonsense safety is easily overlooked as an integral part of a personal wellness program. In "Prevent Accidents" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., reminds us that most accidents - both in the home and on the road - are easily preventable. He offers a memory jogger to encourage you to take action where you need it.

Keeping Fit
Many studies have highlighted the health value of strength training for aging adults. While health and performance factors are important, perhaps the most compelling concerns for most seniors are the three "Bs" - body weight, blood pressure, and body composition, according to Dr. Wayne Westcott in "As Young As You Feel."

Healthy Stress
For most of us, the modern-day world seems to be spinning faster and faster. Computers, faxes, pagers, car phones and automated tellers, far from saving time, seem to add pressure. "Leisure" time is crammed full of activities, commitments, and responsibilities. Even our children feel the pressure of a chock-full day: school, music lessons, soccer practice, and homework, reports Dr. David Sobel in "Rx: Halting Time Pressure."

RECOMMENDED READING
Healthy Bookstore - The Power of Now

Accessing the deepest self, the true self, can be learned, he says, by freeing ourselves from the conflicting, unreasonable demands of the mind and living "present, fully and intensely, in the Now."

Echoes of Silence
There is a lot of talk about importing spirituality into business as an antidote to various forms of malaise. In "Silent Knowledge" Robert Rabbin asks "Will it fit?" and answers "No. Self knowledge pays dividends, but not the kind stockholders hope for."
