Senators Harkin and Cornyn - Jumpstart Workplace Wellness
When General Motors spends more on health care than steel and Starbucks more on health care than coffee beans, something is seriously askew. Corporations are spending untold tens of billions on illness, hospitalization, absenteeism and lost productivity. Wouldn’t it make better sense — and better profitability — to shift a large share of those health care dollars toward wellness and disease prevention?

Continuing our Wellness Journey - Sensing
This week our journey focuses on Sensing, the third of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. It is through the senses--seeing, touching, smelling, hearing, tasting--that we come to know and enjoy the world. Our abilities to work, to feel pleasure, to communicate with others, and to impact the world are directly related to our abilities to appreciate and use our sensory input efficiently and creatively.

Simply Well - "Prevent Acidents" - John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H.
Commonsense safety is easily overlooked as an integral part of a personal wellness program. A person may exercise extreme caution about diet, yet be quite lax in attending to accident prevention. Most accidents—both in the home and on the road—are easily preventable. No training is needed to put on a seat belt in the car or to buckle up young children in a car seat, but these simple gestures can save lives and dramatically decrease the chances of severe injury.

Staying Healthy Tips - "10 Tips for Staying Healthy in Summer" - Elson M. Haas, MD
Some great tips for staying healthy during the summer season include staying cool and hydrated. Drink water, at least two to four cups (16-32 ounces) upon rising, and similar amounts if you are going out for activities and exercise. Carry water with you in a hard plastic container (more stable polycarbonate rather than polyethylene that leaches plastic into the water). You may also use a traveling water filter.

Healthy Living with Natural Medicine - "Elements of a Strong Foundation: Part 1" - Holly Lucille, ND, RN
When caring for people, no matter where they are in their process of life and of health, teaching about the foundations of health is a sure step towards preventing any further harm. If I were a carpenter, helping people build the house of their health, a strong foundation would be the most important place to start. Other modalities or interventions would certainly come into play, but much later. With a strong foundation, the winds of change and of life can pick up and swirl around but that house of health is going to stand strong with a sturdy sense of resilience. View more

"Flax Oil: Eat Like the Roman and Exhibit Strength, Stamina, Mental Clarity and Beauty!"
To many, the aroma of freshly-baked bread is so pleasant that it's almost intoxicating! According to historical record, soldiers of the Roman Empire marched with rations of bread baked with flaxseed meal and flax seed oil 9000 years ago. Flax may be responsible for why the Romans were so successful in their conquests. One major reason why is that the type of fat consumed is linked with your state of mind. View More
