Latest ArticlesIncidence of Strokes in Women is Up In the last two decades, the incidence of strokes in middle-aged women, or those among ages 35 to 54, has tripled and nearly quadrupled. Two percent of women, or 1 in 50, reported suffering from a stroke in a recent study. The last time this information was collected in the early 1990s, the rate was about half of one percent, or 1 in 200. The only other significant change from the previous report was an increase in body mass index, or BMI, from 27 to 29. With more women falling into the overweight and obese categories, they are at risk for a host of other health problems. Low Intensity Cardio … The Myth in
“Cardio” ... the term refers to any exercise where the heart and lungs are involved. If you have an elevation in your heart rate (expressed as bpm or beats per minute) and in your rate of respiration rate, then you are doing some form of "Cardio"....

Conscious living: Loving the Infernal Internal What if I should discover that the poorest of the beggars and the most impudent of offenders are all in me, and that I stand in need of the alms of my own kindness; that I myself am the enemy that must be loved-what then? —Carl G. Jung
Healthy Tan?Posted May 15th, 2008 by cocoYou see a 'beautiful' tan and your immediate thought might be that it is healthy looking, however that tanned look is actually your skin's response to the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet rays from the sun penetrate into the upper layers of unprotected skin, quickly damaging skin cells even before you start showing any signs of sunburn or tan. That “healthy glow” is caused by the release of enzymes by your skin’s defense mechanism, in an attempt to repair the damaged cells - basically your body’s ‘cry for help’.
Conscious living: Visualization and EmotionalizationThere are times I think I am not sure of something which I absolutely know—Mongkut, King of Siam By now you’ve probably discovered the power of visualization in your life. You know how to create pictures in your mind of what you want to appear in your life. It’s a useful skill to have, because most of us come from a background in which we went around creating negative pictures in our minds unconsciously. Far better to create conscious pictures of what you want rather than spending the same energy creating unconscious picture of what you don’t.
