Supplement could be the first therapy to slow Parkinson's
A vitamin supplement you can buy in pharmacies and health stores could be one of medicine’s ‘holy grails’ – it may slow the progress of Parkinson’s, the neurodegenerative disease. Researchers are going to test if the supplement, coenzyme Q10, will be the very first therapy to actually fight the disease, instead of just masking the symptoms, which every drug at the moment does.      View more

Continuing our Wellness Journey - The Playing and Working Dimension
Wellness Inventory This week our journey focuses on the power of Playing and Working, the 8th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. Most of our daily life falls under one of these two categories. For us adults, the majority of time is usually spent focused on work with far too little time allowed for play. What passes for play for most adults is more likely to be escape activities-- distraction from the responsibilities of work. Many people turn to the entertainment industry instead of engaging in the joyful, creative, spontaneous play that is vital to our wellbeing.     View more

RECOMMENDED READING

Deep Medicine - William Stewart, MD
The core thesis of Deep Medicine is that everything we think, feel or do either fosters health or detracts from it. If we are responsible for our own well-being, we need to look closely at our daily choices. Dr. Stewart explains, "Health-creating change is not simply a 10-step program or an 8-week course but a lifelong challenge. Making healthy choices and sustaining them is vital to our well being." Deep Medicine connects our personal health with everything that surrounds us. It integrates direct healing plans and protocols with lifelong learning and practice in an effort to create an optimal path to health. It is this integration that provides the greatest potential for meaningful, lasting, and truly transformative living.

Nutrition Tips - "The Hidden Link Between Stress, Aging and Caffeine" - Caroline MacDougall
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.       View more.


Vegan Global Fusion - "Making the Most of Miso" - Louise Hagler
Cucumber Gazpacho Healthy Update is proud to introduce a new column "Vegan Global Fusion" by Louise Hagler, a pioneer in creating vegan cuisine with tofu and other soyfoods to satisfy the western palate. Her first column, "Making the Most of Miso," introduces this traditional cultured and fermented food from Asia that contains beneficial bacteria and enzymes to aid digestion, along with other healthful attributes. Miso is a live food that is best purchased unpasteurized, according to Louise. When cooking with miso, it is best to never let it boil, since boiling will destroy the beneficial bacteria and enzymes. She offers a great Cucumber Gazpacho recipe which is excellent for miso since it calls for no cooking at all.      View More

PROFESSIONAL'S CORNER

Incorporate a Wellness Dimension into Your Healthcare Practice
Wellness Inventory With the health care reform debate emphasizing wellness and prevention, the focus of many healthcare practices in the near future will be to support people in creating wellness rather than treating disease. For many professionals this will be a clear departure from the disease-focused practices with which they are familiar. A new breed of health professional will be practicing "wellness medicine" and utilizing wellness coaches (or be trained as coaches themselves) to encourage self-responsiblity for our own health and wellbeing, and to support us in mapping our own personal wellness solutions.
The Wellness Inventory, a pioneering assessment and life-balance program, offers professional licensing to health professionals, wellness professionals, therapists, social workers, wellness coaches, and life coaches. We also offer a Certification Training to certify professionals as Wellness Inventory Facilitators or Wellness Inventory Coaches.
