Three universal goals most of us share are: to live longer, to live free of illness and to control our weight. Interesting enough, normal walking lets us achieve all three. In fact, walking may be man’s best medicine for slowing the aging process. First, it works almost every muscle in the body, improving circulation to the joints and massaging the blood vessels (keeping them more elastic). Walking also helps us maintain both our muscle mass and metabolism as we age. It also keeps us young in spirit. For anyone out of shape or unathletically inclined, walking is the no-stress, no-sweat answer to lifelong conditioning. All it takes is a little time, common sense and a few guidelines. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of misinformation floating around regarding fitness walking, weight-loss and dieting. Walking is one of the best exercise for strengthening bones, controlling weight, toning the leg muscles, maintaining good posture and improving positive self-concept. People who diet without exercising often get fatter with time. Although your weight may initially drop while dieting, such weight loss consists mostly of water and muscle. When the weight returns, it comes back as fat. To avoid getting fatter over time, increase your metabolism by exercising daily.

Peptic ulcers, which are in the stomach and the duodenum (the first part of the intestine leading from the stomach) can occur at any age and affect both men and women. Untreated, sufferers can look forward to a long siege with them. But today’s peptic ulcer sufferers have a brighter prospect for relief than did those of even a single generation ago. There is now less than 1 chance in 18 that surgery will every be necessary and new medications act faster and better and offer more relief than ever before. The warning sign of active ulcers you will most likely experience (if you get any warning at all) is a gnawing discomfort in the middle or upper abdomen that typically comes between meals or in the middle of the night. Food or liquids, including antacids and milk, can provide some temporary relief, but milk might not be all that good a remedy since it stimulates production of hydrochloric acid and other digestive juices which further aggravates the pain. Antacids blended from aluminum, calcium or magnesium salts, have long been the non prescription drugs most people quickly reach for to get relief from their stomach pains. But, because antacids interfere with absorption of some medications, be sure to go over this with your doctor and get his approval.

Start your diet with a food diary, record everything you eat, what you were doing at the time, and how you felt. That tells you about yourself, your temptation, the emotional states that encourage you to snack and may help you lose once you see how much you eat.Instead of eating the forbidden piece of candy, brush your teeth. If you’re about to cheat, allow yourself a treat, then eat only half a bite and throw the other half away. When hunger hits, wait 10 minutes before eating and see if it passes. Set attainable goals. Don’t say, “I want to lose 50 pounds.” Say, “I want to lose 5 pounds a month.” Get enough sleep but not too much. Try to avoid sugar. Highly sweetened foods tend to make you crave more.Drink six to eight glasses of water a day. Water itself helps cut down on water retention because it acts as a diuretic. Taken before meals, it dulls the appetite by giving you that “full feeling.” Diet with a buddy. Support groups are important, and caring people can help one another succeed. Start your own, even with just one other person.

Every year, an estimated 7 million Americans suffer from cases of foodborne illness. Some cases are violent and even result in death. Of course this is commonly known as “food poisoning.” The culprit is food that has dangerously high levels of bacteria due to improper cooking or handling. Food safety is usually taken for granted by the buying public but everyone’s attention was recently directed to food poisoning involving some meat that was undercooked. It was determined that the problem never would have happened if the meat had been cooked properly. E.Coli 0157.H7 is a potent virus, but it can be completely destroyed when the meat is fully cooked.  It is important for consumers to take an all-around safety approach to purchasing, storing and preparing both traditional and new meat and poultry products. Ultimately, consumers and food handlers bear the responsibility for keeping food safe once it leaves the store.

New drugs can stop or limit the damage of a heart attack, but only if the patient gets help immediately, experts say. Once the flow of blood to a portion of the heart is blocked for several hours, the damage is irreversible. Knowing the symptoms of a heart attack, which can be wide-ranging and confusing, is extremely important. So is knowing risk factors, such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and family history. Typical symptoms of a heart attack include a crushing pain in the chest, sweating, difficulty breathing, weakness and pain in the arms, particularly the left. Symptoms one could attribute to something else can cause devastating delays in seeking treatment. These include feelings of indigestion, back shoulder and neck pain and nausea. Early signs of trouble may appear during physical activity and disappear with rest. Any numbness of tingling of the fingers or toes, dizziness, shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing should not be ignored.

Once you have made up your mind to lose weight, you should make that commitment and go into it with a positive attitude. We all know that losing weight can be quite a challenge. In fact, for some, it can be downright tough. It takes time, practice and support to change lifetime habits. But it’s a process you must learn in order to succeed. You and you alone are the one who has the power to lose unwanted pounds.

Think like a winner, and not a loser – – remember that emotions are like muscles and the ones you use most grow the strongest.

You should balance your activities with the proper amount of rest. Some of the leading experts in the field of aging now believe that regular exercise along with the proper amount of rest may actually add years to the life span. Results from a number of tests indicate that speed and muscular strength of many of the  elderly can be extended. Leading authorities agree that this new data is going to shatter many of the myths about aging and physical performance. The conclusion now is that the performance and ability of the elderly has long been   underestimated, diet, proper sleep and exercise along with rest and relaxation are all important factors in preserving our bodies.

Lead has long been recognized as a harmful environmental pollutant. There are many ways in which humans are exposed to lead and most of the time we may not even be aware of it. Airborne lead enters the body when an individual breathes in lead particles or swallows some lead dust. Until recently, the most important airborne source of lead was automobile exhaust. Since 1975, there has been a 95 percent reduction in the use of lead in gasoline due to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Phase down Program  and the replacement of older cars with newer cars that require the use of unleaded gasoline.

Clinical studies, laboratory investigations and a number of surveys show certain personal characteristics and life-styles pointing to increased danger of heart attack (coronary heart disease). These  danger signs are called “risk factors”. The well established risk factors are high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, cigarette smoking and diabetes mellitus. Other factors that may increase or affect the risk for heart attach are obesity, a sedentary life-style, an aggressive response to stress, and certain drugs.

“Alzheimer’s Disease” is the term used to describe a dementing disorder marked by certain brain
changes, regardless of the age of onset. Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of aging – - and it is not
something that inevitable happens in later life. Rather, it is one of the dementing disorders, a group of brain
diseases that lead to the loss of mental and physical functions. The disorder, whole cause is unknown,
affects a small but significant percentage of older Americans. A very small minority of Alzheimer’s patients
are under 50 years of age. However, most are over 65.
Alzheimer’s disease is the exception, rather than the rule, in old age. Only 5 to 6 percent of older
people are afflicted by Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia – - but this means approximately 3 to 4
million Americans have one of these debilitating disorders. Research indicates that 1 percent of the
population aged 65-75 has severe dementia, increasing to 7 percent of those aged 75-85 and to 25 percent
of those 85 or older. As out population ages and the number of Alzheimer’s patients increases, costs of care
will rise as well.

If you want to reduce your body fat, focus on increasing the amount of exercise you get rather than  decreasing your food intake. A recent national study was done  using two groups of sedentary men, one group in their 20’s and the other over age 65. A lot was learned from this accumulated data and it is interesting to note that there was a significant relationship between lack of physical activity and fat. Not surprisingly, the most sedentary men had the most body fat.

Thomas Edison hardly slept at all, except in 20-minute naps.
Mark Twain was noted for his insomnia, but was always dozing off
at public functions. So what’s the relationship or the secret
between 40-winks of nap-time and a person’s creativity?
Scientists have proven in recent years that the human body
requires only as much sleep as the brain will allow it. In other
words, so long as the brain is functioning at full capacity,
there’s no great requirement for sleep. The big thing is that
the brain needs a rest every now and then, and apparently, the
brain can refresh itself and go on “like with a full tank of
gas” with just a short, 20-minute nap.
Regardless of all the relaxation techniques that are popular
today, sleep is still the most refreshing and healthful
relaxation of all to most people. Even so, the quick 40-winks
between appointments or meetings can refresh and rejuvenate
almost anyone as much as 8-hours of sleep.

The Study of Physiology. We are now to take up a new study, and in
a field quite different from any we have thus far entered. Of all our
other studies,–mathematics, physics, history, language,–not one comes
home to us with such peculiar interest as does physiology, because
this is the study of ourselves.
Every thoughtful young person must have asked himself a hundred questions
about the problems of human life: how it can be that the few articles of
our daily food–milk, bread, meats, and similar things–build up our
complex bodies, and by what strange magic they are transformed into hair,
skin, teeth, bones, muscles, and blood.
How is it that we can lift these curtains of our eyes and behold all the
wonders of the world around us, then drop the lids, and though at noonday,
are instantly in total darkness? How does the minute structure of the ear
report to us with equal accuracy the thunder of the tempest, and the hum
of the passing bee? Why is breathing so essential to our life, and why
cannot we stop breathing when we try? Where within us, and how, burns the
mysterious fire whose subtle heat warms us from the first breath of
infancy till the last hour of life?

To lessen the effects of acetaldehyde, a by-product produced in
your body from consuming alcohol, and what causes hangover
symptoms, never drink on a empty stomach. One “old as the hills”
suggestion to lessen the effects of hangovers is eating a large
quantity of any member of the Cole family of vegetables (like
cabbage) prepared in a acidic base before you start drinking.
That’s right. Old-fashioned cole slaw prepared with vinegar is
claimed to prevent a hangover!
A night of heavy drinking tends to dehydrate one’s body. The
morning after, replenish water loss and possible electrolytes
imbalances by drinking plenty of fluids, include something on
the salty side like chicken soup, or canned tomato juice. Be
careful if you have high blood pressure, kidney disease or if
you must watch your sodium intake.

The quality popularly designated as “Common Sense” comprehends, according
to the modern point of view, the sound judgment of mankind when
reflecting upon problems of truth and conduct without bias from logical
subtleties or selfish interests. It is one of Nature’s priceless gifts;
an income in itself, it is as valuable as its application is rare.
How often we hear the expression “Why, I never thought of that!” Why?
Because we have failed to exercise Common Sense–that genius of mankind,
which, when properly directed is the one attribute that will carry man
and his kind successfully through the perplexities of life. Common Sense
is as a plant of delicate growth, in need of careful training and
continued watching so that it may bear fruit at all seasons. In the
teachings that follow, the venerable Shogun, Yoritomo-Tashi, points out
that Common Sense is a composite product consisting of (1) Perception;
(2) Memory; (3) Thought; (4) Alertness; (5) Deduction; (6) Foresight; (7)
Reason, and (8) Judgment. Discussing each of these separately, he
indicates their relations and how they may be successfully employed.
Further, he warns one against the dangers that lurk in moral inertia,
indifference, sentimentality, egotism, etc.

When asthma is under control, the
linings of the airways (bronchial tubes)
are smooth, clear, and air fl ows easily
in and out.

INFLAMED AIRWAYS
With asthma, your airways are super
sensitive. When asthma is not controlled,
the airways become infl amed and swollen.
The airways then are made smaller, but air
can still fl ow. When this happens, you may
have a cough, chest tightness, wheezing,
shortness of breath, or you may feel tired.

DURING AN ATTACK
During an attack, the airways swell up even
more and make extra mucus (phlegm). Also,
the muscles around the airways become
tight, and air gets trapped in the alveoli (the
small sacs at the end of the bronchial tubes).
All of this makes it very hard for air to pass
through your airways and can even block
them. You may wheeze, cough, and have
trouble breathing.

I have been accused of trying to catch you coming and going, because I
have included in my book the right methods of gaining weight, as well as
those for losing weight. But this is not the reason–though I don’t
object to doing that little thing–the reason is that the lack of
knowledge of foods is the foundation for both overweight and
underweight.
I did want my publishers to get this out in a cheaper edition, thinking
that more people could have it, and thus it would be doing more good;
but they have convinced me that that idea was a false claim of my mortal
mind, and that the more you paid for it, the more you would appreciate
it. I have received many times, and without grumbling on my part, ten

reasoning we should have ten dollars for the book. Those of you who

There is great difficulty, in the case of a subject so large and
complex as is disease, in giving a definition which will be accurate
and comprehensive. Disease may be defined as “A change produced in
living things in consequence of which they are no longer in harmony
with their environment.” It is evident that this conception of disease
is inseparable from the idea of life, since only a living thing can
become diseased. In any dead body there has been a preexisting disease
or injury, and, in consequence of the change produced, that particular
form of activity which constitutes life has ceased. Changes such as
putrefaction take place in the dead body, but they are changes which
would take place in any mass similarly constituted, and are not
influenced by the fact that the mass was once living. Disease may also
be thought of as the negation of the normal. There is, however, in
living things no definite type for the normal. An ideal normal type
may be constructed by taking the average of a large number of
individuals; but any single individual of the group will, to a greater
or less extent, depart from it. No two individuals have been found in
whom all the Bertillon measurements agree.

At a time when we seem to be overwhelmed by conflicting
diet and health messages, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute (NHLBI) have some good news: by making the right food choices, you may reduce your risk of
developing cardiovascular disease and cancer.
These diseases take the lives of more Americans than all other illnesses and causes of death combined.
Each day, about three out of every four deaths in the United States will occur as a result of cardiovascular
disease or heart disease (like heart attacks and strokes) and cancer. This need not be. Although no diet can
ensure you won’t get a heart attack, stroke or cancer, what you eat can affect your health. This has been
shown by research of the National Cancer Institute and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (two
of this country’s National Institutes of Health), along with the research of other scientists.

Writings on hygiene and health have been accessible for centuries, but
never before have books and magazines on these subjects been as numerous

mind to do the important work. Healthy men and women are a nation’s most
valuable asset.
It is natural to be healthy, but we have wandered so far astray that
disease is the rule and good health the exception. Of course, most
people are well enough to attend to their work, but nearly all are
suffering from some ill, mental or physical, acute or chronic, which
deprives them of a part of their power. The average individual is of
less value to himself, to his family and to society than he could be.

The most severe case of this crippling disease is RHEUMATOID
ARTHRITIS. Factors relating to it are fatigue, shock, injury,
and exposure to cold and dampness. At times nodules may show up
under the skin, around the elbows, wrists and fingers, and
occasionally on the ankles. The control of this particular type
of arthritis may require the cooperation of a physician, a
physical therapist, an orthopedic surgeon, and often the
physician who specializes in psychosomatic diseases. Rest is
considered one of the most essential factors in treatment which
includes emotional rest. Diet need not be too restrictive, but
should be rich in animal proteins, calcium and iron adequate in
vitamins. At present, many arthritic patients have been taking
aspirins as a temporary pain-reliever with good results in some
cases. Some patients also are given physical treatments with
heat and water (bathing and whirlpools), finger-tip massaging,
and other methods which an expert physiotherapist may use.

experience and observation of some years convince the author, young
mothers, almost without any exception, do not possess; and yet, from
ignorance of which, the constitution of many an infant has received
irretrievable injury, and life itself but too frequently fallen a

the prevention of disease is her province, not its cure; that to this
object all her best efforts must be directed; and, moreover, that to
tamper with medicine, when disease has actually commenced, is to hazard

In a nutshell, a few simple steps occur that cause skin blemishes. First,
acne occurs when for some unknown reason or combination of reasons, hair
follicles, also known as pores, become blocked. Although the exact
combination of reasons that pores become clogged may not be fully known,
many contributing elements for teenagers and adults alike can include;
genetics (whether or not there is a history of acne problems and if so, to
what extent), hormones, dietary and vitamin make up (or lack of
/deficiency) and stress related factors. Other denominators could include
factors like how your body normally rids itself of its dead skin cells and
influences that may be working against this regularity (for example climate
and other environmental forces or overall body health at the time) and your
hormones and their effect on your own body’s sebum production (especially
for females).
Second, the normal dead skin cells that combine with your body’s
natural sebum oil as it drains through the skin’s surface become clogged in
these blocked pores. This substance becomes somewhat sticky, further clogging the passageway.

Remember to feed and nourish your skin by eating the proper foods. Give your skin a drink too. Those eight
glasses of water a day your mom always told you to be sure to drink are essential to maintaining your skin’s
elasticity and suppleness, say experts. And don’t count coffee or any of the caffeinated sodas as part of the
eight glasses because caffeine is dehydrating. The water you choose can be sparkling water, mineral or
straight from the tap. Another suggestion is that you keep a liter-size bottle close at hand, or simply drink a
glass or two with your meals, and a few in between.
You need to give some thought and consideration to the type of makeup you sue. And be sure to clean your
tools regularly. Things such as cosmetic brushes get dirty and can carry bacteria and germs and may cause
skin irritations and breaking out. One of the leading cosmetic authorities suggests that cosmetic brushes be
thoroughly cleaned at least twice a month. A good way is to soak brushes for about 10 minutes in a dish of
warm, soapy water using mild liquid detergent or baby shampoo. Rinse and blot excess moisture with a
towel and stand the brushes, handle end down, in a tall glass until they are thoroughly dry.

The world we live in today is much safer than the one known by your parents and grandparents. Even
considering the constant bombardment of news to the contrary, the government and industry have taken
some major steps to protect us all. In almost everything we do, we are surrounded by protection based on
safety experience from the past.
You’ll be safer – - but only if you have a strong feeling for safety. Why? Because many of the safety factors
developed to protect you function only if you do something about them. Do you buckle your seat belt every
time you get in the car? Do you cross the street at crosswalks instead of jaywalking? Do you walk or jog on
the left side of the road so that you are facing oncoming traffic? These are just a few of the things that you
know and can do something about.

When someone is injured or suddenly becomes ill, there is usually a critical period before you can get medical treatment and it is this period that is of the utmost importance to the victim. What you do, or what you don’t do, in that interval can mean the difference between life and death.

Want to burn off excess fat? Diet is good… exercise & diet is better!

If you want to reduce your body fat, focus on increasing the amount of exercise you get rather than decreasing your food intake. A recent national study was done using two groups of sedentary men, one group in their 20’s and the other over age 65.

When we discover that we are heavier than we want to be, we have a natural inclination to eat less food. We may skip lunch or eat only a tiny amount of our dinner in the hope that if we eat less our body will burn off some of its fat. But that is not necessarily true. Eating less actually makes it more difficult to lose weight.

Kicking the smoking habit can be tough. Here are some thoughts on it that just might help…

Most smokers sincerely want to quit. They know cigarettes threaten their health, set a bad example for their children, annoy their acquaintances and cost an inordinate amount of money.

Nobody can force a smoker to quit. It’s something each person has to decide for himself, and will require a personal commitment by the smoker. What kind of smoker are you? What do you get out of smoking? What does it do for you? It is important to identify what you use smoking for and what kind of satisfaction you feel that you are getting from smoking.

Alcohol plays a significant part in our society. Here is a short commentary on it.

There has been a lot of discussion in the last few years about the continuing problem of alcohol and the effect it has on society. Should we treat alcohol as if it were an illicit drug?

Some of the promoters of harsh restrictions on the sale and marketing of certain alcoholic beverages (restrictions such as advertising bans and higher taxes) have justified their proposals with the erroneous assertion that alcohol is no different than illegal drugs.
