HEALTH NEWS BRIEFS
==========================================================
FAITH, HAPPINESS GO HAND IN HAND FOR SENIORS
University sociologists say they have solid evidence that
religious seniors are happier seniors. Their study says
older people who attend religious services tend to be
happier and more satisfied with their lives than those who
don't. And that has important implications for people facing
the emotional and physical trials that can come with aging.
While the sociologists don't suggest that attending church
will always make someone happier, religious activity clearly
tends to raise people's spirits, they said.

LEGISLATIVE EFFORT CALLS FOR NUTRITION LISTING AT RESTAURANTS
Nutrition labeling could become required fare at the
nation's chain and fastfood restaurants, if recent
legislation introduced in Congress is successful. An act has
been introduced, which would ensure that the public receives
nutritional information while eating out at restaurant
chains with 20 or more outlets. The goal is to give
consumers the necessary nutritional information to make
healthy choices.

TESTOSTERONE LEVELS MAY BE CONNECTED WITH
DEPRESSION AMONG ELDERLY MEN
Testosterone may be associated with depression among elderly
men, according to a new study that found men with low levels
of the hormone have a four-fold chance of developing
depression as compared with men whose hormone levels are
normal. While many reasons may exist to explain the
connection between testosterone levels and depression, the
researchers suggested that symptoms of hypogonadism, such as
fatigue, muscle loss and decreased libido, might lead to a
decline in mood. They also noted that changes in hormone
levels might result in depression.

WELLNESS AND HEALTHY LIVING
==========================================================
CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on FEELING, the 6th of 12 keys
to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. We experience
feelings and emotions from well before the event of our
birth. They can be intense, or frightening, or wonderful.
They can also be the most misunderstood, and consequently
mistreated, gifts we have as human beings. We judge them,
repress them, discount them, drug them, worship them, and
run from them. Yet, what a bore to be without them! Life
fully lived is life filled with feeling!

SIMPLY WELL
Most people listen passively, planning what they are going
to say next. In "Energize Your Communication - Become a
Genuine Listener" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., reminds us
that listening is more than simply hearing. Review his tips
toward improving the quality of your relationships.

KEEPING FIT
Many warm-weather exercisers discontinue their training
programs when the temperature drops below 40° F. This is
unfortunate, because heat-producing physical activity is
well-suited for cooler weather conditions. In "Cold Weather
Walking and Running" Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. provides very
specific guidelines and some unexpected tips that show when
approached appropriately, most people can exercise safely
and successfully when temperatures are in the 20s and 30s.

NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE & LONGEVITY

and your health. It is also the most commonly deficient
vitamin in Americans. In "What is Folic Acid" Dr. Richard A.
Kunin, M.D. presents vital information about numerous
conditions related to folic acid deficiency and how this
undervalued nutrient supports healing.

HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES (http://www.altmed.net)
What are your levels of CoQ-10, vitamin E, selenium,
beta-carotene and vitamin C? In "Measuring Your Antioxidant
Status," an interview by Richard A. Passwater, Ph.D., Dr.
Charles A. Thomas explains why you may eat well and take
supplements, but what is actually important is what gets
into your system.

HEALTHY WOMAN UPDATE (http://4womenshealth.com)
Habitual dieting merely sets you up for weight gain in the
future. While you're eating less to lose unwanted fat, your
body thinks it's in the middle of a famine. Survival
mechanisms switch on. Your metabolic rate declines and your
system hangs onto every calorie for dear life. In "Weighty
Thoughts about Slimming Down" Lauri M. Aesoph, N.D. offers
you a different approach.

NUTRITION TIPS
Fruits are considered nature?s perfect foods. They are
natural and healthy, well stocked in nutrients, relatively
low calorie and low sodium, and have very high water
content; plus offer natural sugars when we want something
sweet. In "Fruits" Elson M. Haas, M.D. details the specific
nutritional values in a variety of categories of fruits,
including citrus, melons, berries, tropical, and dried
fruits.

MIND-BODY-SPIRIT (http://mind-body.com)
==========================================================
THE HEALER WITHIN
In the Chinese tradition where energy pathways and points
are accepted aspects of the body, attention is drawn to
specific energy areas as the rhythm of the breath continues.
In ?Progressive Relaxation, Option II? Dr. Roger Jahnke
presents a procedure that includes 16 stations or points of
awareness and is very simple and brief. It can be done with
many more awareness points and may include focusing on each
finger and toe, segments of the arms and legs, joints,
individual organs, etc.

MIND-BODY-SPIRIT
In "Divine Discontent" Jacquelyn Small, L.C.S.W. discusses
how we both fear and adore our passions and the delicious
fruits of this earthly existence. This sensual/emotional
feeling level of life is where many people experience the
deepest splits, imbalances, and confusions. All these
unintegrated desires and misunderstandings keep us divided
within. Ultimately they keep us from becoming unified with
the Inner Beloved, our Divine Self.
