Not One Ounce -- Candy At Your House

Not One Ounce -- Candy At Your House by: Will Clower, Ph.D. Here come the candy canes. In our house, Santa always hung Hershey?s Kisses on the tree. Red and Green M&Ms cohabitate with the micro-Reese?s peanut butter cups in the candy dish. The holiday season is an excuse for saturating your house with sugar in all its forms. And you want to be festive. You don?t want to be a Scrooge about things. But you also know that if it makes it in the door, you will eat it. The Short Term Problem Sugar not only provides needless calories for your expanding horizons, but also destabilizes your insulin levels ? a result that can lead to overweight, obesity, and even diabetes. Remember that sugar is not the problem. Overconsumption of sugar is the problem. There is nothing wrong with sugar per se, only when you eat it as a jelly doughnut chased with a soda and a candy cane! The Long Term Problem Sugar consumption leads to more sugar consumption. Anyone with a weight problem will recog...

Top 5 Ways for an ADD Adult to Have a Happy Holiday

Top 5 Ways for an ADD Adult to Have a Happy Holiday by: Jennifer Koretsky Holidays have the potential to send an adult with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) into overload. Too many details to plan, kids to manage, and family to cope with can turn a good day into a stressful one. The following suggestion can help adults manage ADD during the holidays. 1. Know Your Own ADD and Plan Ahead to Deal with It You know yourself better than anyone, so ask yourself 'How does my ADD affect me on the holidays?' Make a list of all the things that tend to stress you out on the holidays, and make a plan to deal with them. Do you tend to say impulsive things that you later regret? Plan to take a deep breath before answering questions, so that you can think about your words before you speak them. Do hyper kids overwhelm? Plan to excuse yourself and take a brief walk when the kids are so noisy that you can't think straight. Does a family member really make you mad when s/he starts n...

Try The Patch Not The Pill by: George M Noceti Oral drugs are out! Patches are in.

Quit Smoking: Why People Do Bad Things (Even When They Know They Shouldn't)

Quit Smoking: Why People Do Bad Things (Even When They Know They Shouldn't) by: Jill Binder Do you do Bad Things? Even though you know you shouldn't? It's not your fault. It really isn't. You know you should stop doing it, but no matter how much you know that, and how much you try, you just can't stop! Everyone knows how to lose weight. Don't eat fattening foods. Exercise. Everyone knows how to give up smoking. Don?t light the cigarette. Yet having this knowledge just isn't enough. Sometimes even having the desire isn't enough! Time and again I hear about people who get really close to quitting smoking. They can get all the way down to one or two cigarettes a day, but just can't give up those last two. Many even make it all the way down to zero, but the cravings, oh the cravings! They are wretched, those cravings. Most will go back to smoking within the first few days. They can cut away most of the 'stuff' that keeps them glued to the ...

Welcome to the Age of Bionic Hearing!

Welcome to the Age of Bionic Hearing! by: ARA Content (ARA) - Better. Stronger. Faster. That was the promise made by those fictional techno-doctors who used their imaginary electronic wizardry to reconstruct Jaime Sommers' character into The Bionic Woman. Fiction back in the 1970s -- today, a reality. Many of the body's functions that have been either damaged or lost can be restored with technology so advanced, it would make even those fictional doctors green with envy. For those who are baby boomers, we have two things in common. First, we probably all remember that television show! Second, we have spent the better part of our lives unwittingly destroying our hearing. Noise exposure in today's society has risen to such an intense and pervasive level that significant and permanent hearing loss by late-middle age is the rule, not the exception. Without The Bionic Woman's doctors to outfit us with a supersensitive bionic ear, what are we to do? The only solution av...

Do not eat poor quality carbohydrates before bed. Poor quality carbohydrates are those that contain sugar or are highly processed.

Dangers of Scales

Dangers of Scales by: HSF Vitamins A Full Scale War 'The scale can be like a lousy personal trainer. It can be giving you bad information. In other words, do not become too dependent on this devilish, little device sitting on your bathroom floor. ' It happens every morning when you mosey out of bed, somewhere between the time you take off that robe and the instant you step into the shower. For others, it happens immediately after a workout, as soon as you peel off those sweaty clothes and stand aimlessly in your birthday suit. Then, the big moment arrives. The excitement, the tension, it all forms a giant knot in your throat. This experience is a lot like playing the roulette wheel and you know you have plenty riding on this one. Hence, the numbers that come up can spree a variety of reactions. You step onto the scale in your bathroom and peek through your fingers at the fate staring back at you. To some, you jump up and down like you just hit the jackpot. Others shri...
