Study: Low Lead Levels Harmful; Children's IQ Scores Might Be Affected
New findings suggest that considerably more U.S. children are adversely affected by environmental lead than previously estimated. How much harm it causes depends on the age of the child when exposed and the extent of the exposure. Lead exposure can cause nerve damage, learning disabilities and behavior problems in children. Common source is pre-1970's lead-based house paint.

Little-Known Nutrient Sets Metabolism in Motion
Beyond vitamins and minerals, researchers are now focusing on "conditionally essential" nutrients, i.e. nutrients that are essential under specific conditions. Keen interest in this category is being generated by L-Carnitine, a vitamin-like substance which is essential for producing energy from fat in the human body. Clinical research indicates that L-Carnitine helps play a role in enhancing recovery from exercise, in maintaining cardiovascular health, and in maintaining ideal body weight.

Simply Well
Wellness is an illusion if there is no commitment to the health of the whole planet. We are all interdependent. In "Befriend the Earth" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., challenges you to contribute to a saner environment by examining your own lifestyle for waste. He also offers other practical, everyday choices you can make that will contribute to your own health and support the earth at the same time.

Conscious Relationships
Your children go through specific developmental stages--prenatal, birth, bonding/nursing, exploring, toilet-training, sexual development and more. In "Parenting: Pain (Sometimes), Possibility (Always)" Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks remind you that being with your children as they go through these stages pushes to the surface any unresolved issues from those stages in you.

Healthy Computing
A laugh a day keeps the doctor away. A good chuckle or belly laugh is internal jogging. Laughter and an optimistic perspective may reduce neck and shoulder tension, lower blood pressure, and enhance immune function. In "Chuckles" Erik Peper, Ph.D. and Katherine Hughes Gibney actually describe how to increase your chuckling capabilities!

Nutrition Tips
Although we reach for the coffee or tea cup hoping to boost our energy, studies show that we are actually inducing a state of stress. Caffeine drives the adrenal glands to produce stress hormones that can remain in the blood stream up to 18 hours after consumption. In "The Hidden Link Between Stress, Aging and Caffeine" Caroline MacDougall sheds new light on lifestyle practices that ultimately lead to fatigue, plus tips for kicking the caffeine habit.
