Older People May Need Less Sleep
It has long been known that aging is associated with a reduced capacity for sleep. Now, researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) have shown that when older people are asked to stay in bed during 16 hours of darkness, they sleep only about 7.5 hours compared to the 9 hours that younger people sleep when in the same situation.

Breastfeeding: Why doctors are so wrong about solids
Doctors are keen to introduce solids as early as possible as a supplement to breast feeding - and they couldn't be more wrong. Babies who are exclusively breastfed for the first three months at least - and sometimes for the first 12 months – have better cognitive abilities and general intelligence by the time they are six.

Antibiotics: Doctors told to stop indiscriminate prescribing
UK health regulators have put a ban on the overuse of antibiotics. They are concerned that doctors are over-prescribing and inappropriately prescribing the drugs. Doctors regularly prescribe antibiotics for sore throats, colds and coughs for which the drugs are ineffective, and now the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) wants an immediate stop to the practice.

WELLNESS & HEALTHY LIVING

Continuing our Wellness Journey - Transcending
This week our journey focuses on the power of TRANSCENDING, the 12th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. The final form of energy in the wellness energy system is a subtle one that has only recently been given scientific credence. It is the realm of the transcendent or the spiritual (a word that's only now becoming acceptable in everyday speech). The human ability to transcend ordinary consciousness is actually an age-old gift that opens mind and heart to the potential of love, and to the miracle and magnificence of the moment, so often forgotten in the daily grind of our busy lives.     View more

Essential Musical Intelligence - Dr. Louise Montello
Music fills our lives. From TV commercials to the car radio, we rarely live one single day without hearing a song. But what if you could consciously use music to foster self-awareness, creativity, and, ultimately, deep healing of the body, mind, and spirit? Through her clinical practice and research, Dr. Louise Montello has discovered what she calls Essential Musical Intelligence - our innate ability to use music and sound to bypass the defenses of the conscious mind and move directly into the emotional/soul centers where true healing can occur. This groundbreaking book draws from the wisdom of Eastern philosophies and guides us through a systematic musical journey where we learn a series of clinically proven EMI exercises to balance and harmonize all five levels of consciousness – the body, breath/energy, mind, imagination/intellect, and the realm of bliss - leading to deep and lasting change.
