High Vitamin C Intake Might Protect Against Rheumatoid Arthritis
Research indicates that a high vitamin C intake may protect against the development of painful widespread rheumatoid arthritis. In the study people with a low intake of fruit and vegetables had around double the risk of developing arthritis than those with a high intake. Those with the lowest levels of vitamin C intake were three times more likely to develop inflammatory arthritis than those with the highest intakes. Significantly, those with below the recommended daily intake of 40 mg vitamin C a day were at four times the risk of inflammatory polyarthritis.

CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on the power of SEX the 10th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. The sexual revolution of the 70s had many positive effects on the social climate. It paved the way for more frank and open discussion of sex and sexual problems, made getting needed information on sexual matters easier, and has fostered a more tolerant attitude towards behaviors that once were condemned as unhealthy, deviant, or criminal. However, this new openness did not solve all our problems, and in fact, created new ones. This section will explore the many dimensions of our sexuality and suggest ways to expand our awareness of the precious aspect of life energy.

Mind/Body Health
Our understanding of most diseases is still quite primitive, reports Dr. David Sobel in "The Mind/Body Guilt Syndrome." We know very little about why some people exposed to stressors such as germs and traumatic experiences become ill while others remain healthy. Mind matters, but mind cannot always triumph over matter. Sometimes the biology of disease is simply overwhelming.

Spiritual Wellness
There is a fundamental truth about life on earth: Everything changes, everything withers, everything eventually disappears. In "Dealing With Impermanence" Philip Goldberg discusses various positive viewpoints. First accept the reality of impermanence as a precondition for liberation. Next realize that non-attachment is about loving, cherishing and caring about the people and things that matter to us—but without excessive clinging or grasping, and without fear of loss or change. Finally, inner peace is easier to locate, more enduring and far more satisfying than any of the brass rings we manage to grab on the frenzied carousel of life.
