Don't Overlook the Importance of Being Physically Active

If I had to choose just one form of wellness therapy to receive on a regular basis to support my health, I would choose to have the middle and upper regions of my spine stretched by a skilled practitioner. This is because I spend many hours every week reading and writing at my desk, so even though I am fully aware of how important it is to maintain good posture, I often find that my shoulders droop forward, causing the muscles in my upper and middle spinal regions to become tight.

Varicose veins are enlarged and often swollen veins that can become visible under the skin of your legs. In order to understand what can be done to prevent the formation of varicose veins, you must first understand some basic anatomical and physiological facts about the veins in your body, which will allow for a good understanding of the root causes of varicose veins.

According to the World Book Encyclopedia, the average adult human body contains approximately 96,500 kilometers (60,000 miles) of blood vessels. This means that if you were to attach all of your blood vessels together end to end, they could wrap around the Earth almost two and a half times.

Some of your blood vessels are about as thick as a magic marker, while others are as thin as a strand of hair. All of your blood vessels are essential to your health because they provide the transportation network that allows your blood to carry nutrients and oxygen to each of your cells. Your network of blood vessels also allows your blood to remove waste products from all of your cells.

In the summer of 2004, a guest of our clinic asked me what he could do to maximize his height using natural methods. At that time, he was still in his early 20s and aspired to play professional baseball.

If you are following sound advice on how to get a good night's sleep, but are still having trouble sleeping soundly, you may want to try eating a bedtime snack that combines a concentrated dietary source of tryptophan with a healthy carbohydrate-rich food.

Tryptophan is an amino acid that your body cannot make; you must obtain it from the foods that you eat. Once tryptophan crosses your blood-brain barrier to gain access to your brain, it is used to make a hormone called serotonin.

A study published in a recent edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association indicates that taking heartburn drugs like Nexium, Prilosec, or Prevacid for one year or longer can significantly increase the risk of experiencing a hip fracture in people over 50 years of age.

According to IMS Health, a corporation that tracks drug sales all over the world, Nexium is one of the most popular drugs in the world, second only to the cholesterol drug Lipitor. Sales of Nexium totaled $4.6 billion in 2005.

In late 2005, I made an interesting observation as I did a review of my patient files. I found that among patients who were less than 50 years of age and who came to me with some form of cancer or neurological disease, more than 75 percent reported a history of cocaine use. Experience has taught me that some people do not feel comfortable disclosing a history of recreational drug use, which means that in all likelihood, this number is even higher.
