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)

Caloric Restriction May Not Be Answer to Longer Life
Numerous studies on flies, mice, and recently monkeys have suggested that limiting one's diet may be the key to a longer life. But a new study by US researchers suggests that fasting may impair the ability to cope with infection. ( Read more about Caloric Restriction May Not Be Answer to Longer Life)

Reducing Salt a Little Can Increase Health a Lot
If Americans cut their overly heavy salt consumption by as little as 1 gram (400 milligrams of sodium) a day, the result would be 200,000 lives saved from heart disease and stroke over the course of a decade, according to a recent study.
And if Americans went so far as to cut their salt intake in half, the action would prevent up to 150,000 premature deaths a year, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). ( Read more about Reducing Salt a Little Can Increase Health a Lot)

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)

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)

Expert Commentary: 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 Expert Commentary: Dr. Micozzi, M.D. - June 8, 2009)

Expert Commentary: Dr. Micozzi, M.D. - May 26, 2009
We are all beginning to realize that too much salt may be bad for our health. Yet, our bodies need some sodium (better known as salt) to function properly.
The body uses sodium, to maintain the right balance of fluids in our bodies. We also need sodium to transmit nerve impulses. In addition, sodium influences the contraction and relaxation of muscles. ( Read more about Expert Commentary: Dr. Micozzi, M.D. - May 26, 2009)
