Irradiated Meat May Soon Be in Schools
Some of the 28 million children in the national school lunch program may find irradiated hamburger on their plates as early as next year. The Agriculture Department is seeking suppliers to furnish ground meat zapped by bacteria-killing gamma rays or electricity. Irradiated meat has been allowed in grocery stores since 1999, when the Agriculture Department concluded the benefits - preventing food poisoning - outweighed any risk of side effects.


Can meditation really alter biology?
During the past decade, there has been a growing body of research showing that regular meditation -- the practice of quieting the mind through deep, continued thought -- can help reverse some of the ill effects of stress. Studies have shown that regular practice of meditation can lower blood pressure, heart rate and respiration, reduce anxiety and anger and help alleviate insomnia and mild to moderate depression, as well as lead to other benefits.

Simply Well
The noise pollution of modern society grows more strident every year. Rest and quiet are necessary when you are healing from illness, as well as when you simply want to renew yourself. In "Cultivate Sanity through Silence" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., offers you helpful hints for how you can nourish yourself in a quieter home by eliminating some unnecessary noise.


Healthy Home
As far back as ancient Egyptian and Greek times, people used lavender, rosemary, tansy, and other herbs for cleaning. They freshened their linens by placing fragrant sachets, herbs, and flowers in drawers and closets. In "Lavender Linen Water" Annie Berthold-Bond of Care2 offers you a simple formula you can use to "sweeten" your linens, and if you aren't sensitive to essential oils, even use it to freshen and uplift rooms.


Staying Healthly Tips
We all know that stress is a major factor in many chronic health complaints, and yet we often find it difficult to let ourselves get away and relax completely. Medical research shows that vacations are a necessary and healthful part of our lives. In "10 Tips on Vacations and Your Health" Elson M. Haas, M.D. offers some common sense precautions that can help you avoid some of the pitfalls of travel.

NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

Understanding Homeopathy
Conventional medicine has little to offer arthritis sufferers. The lucky ones get temporary relief along with drug side effects; the unlucky ones only get the side effects. In "Homeopathic Medicines for Arthritis" Dana Ullman presents the homeopathic alternatives that augment a person's own immune and defense system.


Healthy Alternatives
In "Weight Loss" Emily Kane N.D. presents a naturopathic approach that offers natural options for the basic three elements in most weight loss products; 1) a diuretic to promote urination and water weight loss; 2) a mild stimulant to keep you "on the go" and peppy feeling; 3) some form of euphoric and analgesic so that you don't feel the "pain" of hunger or calorie deprivation or increased levels of exercise.


Healthy Woman Update
Endometriosis is the presence of uterine tissue outside its usual location on the inner lining of the uterus. Pain, abnormal menstrual bleeding, infertility and prolonged disability may result. In "Endometriosis" David L. Hoffmann B.Sc. (Hons), M.N.I.M.H. points out that this is a notoriously difficult condition to diagnose, though up to 25% of women of childbearing age are affected by it. In mild or moderate cases herbal medication has much to offer for stress and pain, but in severe cases surgery may be indicated.

HEALTHY KITCHEN

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.


There's a Yogi in the Kitchen!
Did you know the summer months are the best time for eating spicy hot food? In "Lessons in Curry II" Siri-Veda Kaur Khalsa focuses on masala ? the mixture of spices and other ingredients that form the base of curries. Use this to create spicy foods, such as Curried Peas and Hot and Spicy Cauliflower, that can help you keep cool from the inside.

MIND-BODY-SPIRIT

Mind Over Matter
Have you ever wondered why you are a "night owl" or an "early bird"? In "It Keeps on Ticking: Understanding Your Biological Clock" Barry Bittman, M.D. explains how your "biological clock" works and why your quality of life and survival depends to a great extent on this internal timepiece that doesn't require winding or batteries.


Mind/Body Health
The decision to seek healthcare is more determined by anxiety, worry, stress, lack of confidence, lack of information, job dissatisfaction, and unhealthy lifestyles than it is by the presence or absence of physical disease. In Meditation Reduces Medical Costs" David S. Sobel M.D. presents his reasoning that mind/body interventions which address the underlying distress that prompts visits to physicians, might reduce distress and medical expenses.
