4 Natural Ways to Look and Feel Younger
As you get older in years, you don’t have to decline in body and mind. So ditch the drugs, lose the hormone replacement therapy, forget about surgery, and instead follow these tips from the Chinese medical tradition that help to provide energy, slow down aging and promote the body’s natural healing power.
-- Drink green tea. Studies have provided evidence suggesting regular green tea intake shields against Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, perhaps because of its many antioxidants known as polyphenols. Green tea’s best-known polyphenol, catechin, which is known to improve brain power, is found at a four times greater level in green tea than in black tea. An extra benefit of green tea is its potential to aid in the loss of belly fat, which studies have suggested. ( Read more about 4 Natural Ways to Look and Feel Younger)

More Cardiac Death in Women Using Antidepressants
Antidepressant use among women is associated with greater risk for sudden cardiac death, a recent study revealed.
But the reason for the link is unclear, and the fact doesn’t suggest that antidepressants should be avoided, the scientists said. In fact, it may be that antidepressant use is just a sign of depression, and the real causal link is between depression and heart problems. The report said women with clinical depression had more than twice the risk of experiencing sudden cardiac death. ( Read more about More Cardiac Death in Women Using Antidepressants)

Yoga Alleviates Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
By relieving stress, the practice of yoga aids in recovery from posttraumatic stress disorder, two recent studies showed.
In one experiment, conducted by Bessel van der Kolk, a psychiatry professor at Boston University School of Medicine, and published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, women suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were divided into two groups. One was given eight sessions of training in hatha yoga, a common form of yoga focusing on breathing and body postures. The other group was put through eight sessions of standard group therapy.

Ginseng Combination Helps Bowel Movements
Ginseng, with two other ingredients that together form a traditional Japanese herbal medicine, promotes gastrointestinal health and regular bowel movements, a recent study showed.
The findings, published in the journal Neurogastroenterology and Motility, revealed that Dai-Kenchu-to, a mixture of ginseng, ginger and zanthoxylum fruit, helped relieve constipation in children and in patients with post-operative ileus. The latter is a disruption of normal bowel movements after an operation. ( Read more about Ginseng Combination Helps Bowel Movements)

14-Point Checklist for a Healthy Heart
Since heart disease is the leading killer of Americans today, affecting some one in four people in the United States, a huge amount of suffering, heartache and medical resources could be saved if citizens undertook some simple lifestyle changes aimed at lowering their risk of cardiovascular disorders.
“We need to aim for proactive prevention and not damage control,” said Ara DerMarderosian, a professor of pharmacognosy at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. Pharmacognosy is a branch of pharmacology that deals with drugs in their crude or natural state and with medicinal herbs or other plants. “Our goal should be not only to minimize the behaviors that are harmful to our health, but to implement the practices that are known to be helpful and beneficial.” ( Read more about 14-Point Checklist for a Healthy Heart)

Blog Post: Dr. Micozzi, M.D. - June 8, 2009
What makes the story on the 14-point checklist for a healthy heart interesting is that it quotes Ara DerMarderosian, a professor of pharmacognosy at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. What is Pharmacognosy? The American Society of Pharmacognosy defines pharmacognosy as "the study of the physical, chemical, biochemical and biological properties of drugs, drug substances or potential drugs or drug substances of natural origin as well as the search for new drugs from natural sources."
Though most pharmacognostic studies focus on plants and medicines derived from plants, other types of organisms can also be medically valuable. These include various types of microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and microscopic marine organisms. ( Read more about Blog Post: Dr. Micozzi, M.D. - June 8, 2009)

30% of Multivitamins Don't Provide What They Say
More than 30 percent of a medicine chest of multivitamins failed to contain what they said they did, or were contaminated with lead, according to a report by the private company ConsumerLab.com
Among the 46 multivitamins analyzed, those that failed the test had far more or less of an ingredient than stated on the label. And several, including three supplements for children, contained more than the upper limit recognized as healthy by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Unhealthily excessive dosages were found for ingredients such as vitamin A, folic acid, niacin and zinc, according to the report by ConsumerLab.com, a White Plains, N.Y., firm that provides consumer information and independent evaluations of health and nutrition products.

Blog Post: Stuart Diamond, Editor-in-Chief - June 5, 2009
So another dirty secret? Vitamins a fraud? Another great hoax on the public? It’s an important question, because the public is spending billions of dollars on vitamins.
The history of Vitamins – as are many health cures -- is often faddish. Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and now Vitamin D. Each was presented as the next health-saving supplement. Not that they were completely discounted, but the hype was more than follow-up studies demonstrated. A consensus though seems to be building that 3 supplements do have positive impact on our health. They are Vitamin D, Calcium and Fish Oil or Omega-3s. ( Read more about Blog Post: Stuart Diamond, Editor-in-Chief - June 5, 2009)

Blog Post: Dr. Micozzi, M.D. - June 1, 2009
More and more we are discovering the health benefits of vitamin-D. Most of us tend to stay indoors during the winter months, as I know I certainly do, but lack of exposure to sunlight could mean that you’re not getting enough vitamin D. So taking your lunch outside and soaking up a few rays might be a great idea.
Like with many things, balance is important. Getting half an hour of direct sun exposure a couple times a week can be beneficial, while continually getting sun burns or just baking yourself is not. ( Read more about Blog Post: Dr. Micozzi, M.D. - June 1, 2009)
