Temperature training
Athletes who choose the trail over the treadmill don't get the benefit of a thermostat. For much of the year in much of the United States, they are forced to contend with bitter cold and sweltering heat. But only recently have sports scientists zeroed in on exactly how those extreme temperatures influence performance. "The biggest breakthroughs have come in the past five years," says Jim Cotter, Ph.D., a senior lecturer at the School of Physical Education at the University of Otago, in New Zealand. "We've learned that the optimal warm-up for cold-weather exertion is quite different from the one you would carry out in the heat and, perhaps more important, that the skin and brain play larger than...
Fresh Ways to Stress Less
Managing your stress in some unhealthy ways? We've got new stress busters that really work. I have close, meaningful relationships with espresso brownies, cold beer, and reruns of The West Wing. Until recently, it hadn't occurred to me that these paramours are, in fact, three of the major players in my stress-management strategy. Hey, I wasn't even aware I had a stress-management strategy. And this, according to the American Psychological Association (APA), is exactly the problem. "We do things to manage stress all the time," says Russ Newman, PhD, APA executive director for professional practice. He's not talking about those folks who eat fruits and veggies, exercise regularly, and log 8 hours...

The most important symptoms for gallbladder disease
There are many symptoms for gall bladder disease, but there are three significant symptoms that indicate if you have gallstones. The first and most obvious is the jaundice. This happens when the liver is not working as it should be and bile are not created. I say it is the most obvious because the person suffering from gallbladder notices a drastic change in the color of their skin and eyes. The skin may turn orange or yellow, it differs from a person to another, and the white part of the eye tends to get the same color. This abnormal color can let us know that our liver is not working at it' s potential or that there is a blockage in our gall bladder. Another symptom that is often found in gall...

Porsche: Creating the Plot to Takeover Volkswagen?
Porsche is known for producing small but immensely powerful engines. The same can be said about the company---small but powerful. Porsche is a German automaker renowned for its lines of sports car. News has it that the German sports car maker is getting closer to its goal which is to control Europe's largest automaker, the Volkswagen Group. It should be noted that Porsche is one of the largest shareholders of Volkswagen with a total of 27.4% and is planning to further increase its stakes if not for the Volkswagen Law. The Volkswagen Law limits the voting rights of shareholders in the company to 20% regardless of how large their owned shares are. Another provision on the VW law also gives the right...
Piech to remain as VW's Board Chairman
Two of Volkswagen's biggest shareholders have agreed on Wednesday to prolong the term of Ferdinand Piech as board chairman. The decision was rather contradictory to the earlier plan of removing VW's board chairman and finally ending a power brawl between the German state of Lower Saxony and Porsche. In a statement given by Premier Christian Wulff at Volkswagen's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany, he said that the deal "means that Mr. Piech and I have reached agreement on Volkswagen's future." The agreement was right on timing as Piech tries to secure his position at Volkswagen. It should be noted that Piech was also the one responsible for ousting Bernd Pischetsrieder as chief executive in favor...
Critical criticism
Critical illness insurance is designed to pay out a lump sum if you are unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with one of a list of medical conditions specified in the policy documents. There is a wide variation in the length of the lists, some covering as few as eight illnesses and one a staggering 140, but this is a slightly different version, which pays various sums, according to the severity of the condition. Heart disease and cancer head the list on all the policies. Very few policies will cover illness caused by stress or mental problems. Back problems are rarely covered either. Whilst some people consider critical illness cover essential and enjoy the peace of mind being insured offers them...
Heart Disease - A Very Real Threat To All Dogs
Heart disease is one of the most frequently seen problems in dogs. Different diseases involving the heart valves or heart muscle can lead to heart failure. Mitral insufficiency is by far the most common type of heart disease seen in dogs. Mitral insufficiency involves the heart valve that separates chambers in the heart. If this valve becomes diseased and fails to close properly, blood is allowed to flow backward, which reduces blood flow forcing the heart to work harder to keep up with the body's demand for blood. This over working of the hart eventually leads to premature heart failure. This disease can result from normal wear and tear associated with age, or it can appear secondary to other...

How Does Stress Affect Your Overall Health + Tips
How can stress affect your overall health? Several ways. First of all stress is linked to two very common, yet very difficult problems: Depression and Anxiety. Sometimes stress is a good thing, if it brings out the best in us. However other times when the stress is too much, which can be different for everyone because each person responds differently to things, the stress causes either fear or withdrawal, which lead to anxiety and depression. The fight or flight feeling we get when we are sometimes over stressed causes physical symptoms. Dry mouth, increased adrenaline, sweating and sleeplessness are all common instant signs of stress, but stress goes deeper. Did you know that stress causes a...
Move Now or Die Early
No one can argue the value of exercise. Most parents will be the first to send the kids to the yard to wear off some steam. It's unfortunate that these same parents, so willing to get up at 6 am to get the child to hockey practice, are often unwilling to apply the same principles of health to their own lives. There are a million excuses for the lack of activity in the adult life. Unfortunately, excuses are like garbage: everyone has some and it all stinks! Excuses and procrastination are the death of active living. Adults need to be deliberate and proactive when the calendar comes out. When scheduling all the family commitments, no time will magically appear for fitness for the organizer. It...
Fitness: Getting Serious About Your Health

Pushing The Limits Of One's Life: Be Fit Up To 100 Years
The human body does not retain the vital principle to make it past 100 years. It is a very rare case when a person goes beyond a hundred years. The question naturally rises: Is it possible to generally prolong the life of man, that is, to add one-quarter or even a greater percentage of years to its present apparent limitations? If the cause of physical deterioration can be removed or prevented this would seem possible. The clogging up of arteries, the venous system and their capillaries with worn-out cells and calcareous matter cause aging. If these passages or tubers are maintained free of such debris or ash resultants, it is possible to remain young longer than usual. As I have experienced...

Getting Your Family Into Fitness

We gravitate toward what we are repeatedly exposed to. It's a simple matter of repetition. The more we see, hear, use, or eat something the more it becomes ingrained in our psyche. In fact, social scientists believe...
Ener-Chi Art - A New and Ancient Form of Healing
Ener-Chi Art is based on one of the most ancient systems of healing and rejuvenation. A primary function of this art is to restore a balanced flow of life force energy, or "Chi", throughout the body.Ener-Chi Art consists of inspired artwork that is imbued with light-encoded energies. It involves a series of paintings, each of which is "activated" with specific light rays. There is a painting for each organ and system of the body. For example, if one looks at the painting that corresponds to the heart -- even for only about a minute -- very profound changes occur in the life energy field corresponding to that organ. The flow of Chi becomes fully restored, and any thought forms or emotional imbalances...

Since the number of people that are diagnosed with the gallbladder disease is alarmingly increasing, and gallbladder surgery is one of the most performed surgeries in the United States, it is important that you understand this illness and its symptoms so that you can discover it as soon as possible and avoid surgery if you can.The gallbladder is a small organ that can be found between the liver and the duodenum, that is connected to the liver in its upper part and to the stomach in its lower part. The liver produces the bile, a substance needed whenever you eat fat foods, because fat can't be digested through the normal procedure because it does not dissolve in water.

The Functions of the Gallbladder and the Gallbladder Disease
The gallbladder is a small organ situated near mid-abdominal area of the body. Its main function is to store the bile that comes from the liver. Bile is a substance that helps in the digestion of fat. Fat does not dissolve in water, so in order to emulsify fat something special is needed. The liver produces the bile and then stores it in the gallbladder until the body needs to digest fats. When this moment comes, the gallbladder starts to let the bile flow down into the intestine, inside the duodenum, where fat is digested with its help and then absorbed by the organism. While bile sits in the gallbladder, the water from it pours out through the gallbladder's walls, making the bile more...
