CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on EATING, the 4th of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. Most Americans' eating patterns represent a public health crisis. If a new disease erupted that was one tenth as destructive as most people's diets, there would be a massive public outcry to find the cure. The way many people eat is the result of a lifestyle that glorifies immediate satisfaction and neglects the long-term consequences.

Simply Well
Although there is a mass of conflicting data surrounding the components of sound nutrition practices, in "Learn Ten Basics about Food" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., provides you with certain recommendations that are almost universally accepted. He challenges you to pick one to implement into your daily diet over the next few weeks.

Keeping Fit
Although the golf swing places considerable stress on the hip, back and shoulder joints, golfers have traditionally avoided muscle strengthening and injury prevention activities for fear that it would reduce their joint flexibility and decrease their movement speed. In "Should Golfers Do Strength Exercise?" Dr. Wayne Westcott discusses the myths, facts and benefits of strength training.

What Doctors Don't Tell You
In the column "What Doctors Don't Tell You About Breast Cancer: Half the time it's not cancer at all" documents the astonishing fact that fully half of all cases of so-called 'breast cancer' are a harmless abnormality that will never progress to cancer. DCIS, calcifications that occur in ducts, do not benefit whatsoever from any conventional treatment.

Healthy Alternatives
The art of homeopathic medicine today is all but unknown to the general public. In "Homeopathic Remedies vs. the Placebo Effect" Richard Moskowitz, M.D. presents ten case histories to dispel any beliefs that positive results might be solely attributed to the patient's belief in the homeopathic remedy.

Healthy Man Update
In "Trichomoniasis" the American Institute of Preventive Medicine explains that unlike most sexually transmitted diseases, this condition is caused by a parasite rather than by bacteria or a virus. Men who have trichomoniasis usually don't experience any symptoms. They may infect their sexual partners and not know it.

Nutrition Tips
Vegetable oils should contribute a higher percentage of the total fat in our diet than they currently do, as this would increase the proportion of polyunsaturated to saturated fats, which is helpful. In "Oils" Elson M. Haas, M.D. presents benefits of different types of oil, cautions regarding how an oil is processed, and when heat adversely affects the chemical structure.

Fabulous Functional Foods
Danish chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan brings us a recipe for "Avocado-Apple Yogurt With Flaxseed," an excellent dairy-free fruit yogurt using only apples, avocados, extra virgin olive oil and unfiltered cider vinegar. It is every bit as thick and creamy as real fruit yogurt, but contains no saturated animal fats, milk protein or chemical residues.

TOTAL HEALTH RECOVERY PROGRAM FOR ADDICTS AND ALCOHOLICS

Mind Over Matter
Laughter is a powerful healing elixir, or better yet ... natural Prozac. It enables us to reframe our worries and it has extraordinary capacity to help us reestablish a positive and healthy perspective when we're down. So why don't we laugh more? The answer is simple: because we want to be seen as "perfect!" And when we "mess up," we don't want anyone to notice those ridiculous things we do, or the silly situations we somehow create for ourselves. In "Laugh at Yourself: Turn That Frown Upside Down" Barry Bittman, M.D. gives us seven simple steps for doing exactly that.

Mind-Body-Spirit
For disorders such as brain dysfunction, depression, mental weakness or confusion, loss of memory, ringing of the ears and many other ailments, the physician, naturopath and herbalist might all prescribe the same medicine - ginkgo. In "Ginkgo - Ancient Medicine, Modern Medicine" Christopher Hobbs, L.Ac., A.H.G. explains how ginkgo can help increase and maintain the blood supply to the very small vessels of the body, the capillaries. These vessels nourish all the tissues of the body, but most importantly the brain.
