Balancing Work and Home Life is Getting More Difficult
Work is stressful. Perhaps more than ever. A new study out of the University of Toronto documents that 50 per cent of people bring their work home with them on a regular basis. And as the office seeps into our home lives, the stress associated with balancing work and our private home lives is becoming more and more difficult.

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.

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)

Yoga Reduces Fear of Falling Among Elderly
Taking yoga classes yields a slight but important decrease in the fear of falling among senior citizens, a recent study showed, as well as conferring greater lower-body flexibility and removing constraints on their leisure activities.
Fear of falling may have a significant impact on the health and quality of life of older adults because it causes them to curtail their social and physical activity. It has this effect even on those who have never fallen. ( Read more about Yoga Reduces Fear of Falling Among Elderly)

Yoga and the Fear of Falling
Anything that can reduce the fear of falling among senior citizens would truly be a valuable contribution to society. Such a fear may not seem like a big deal. But the fact is that, among the elderly, it can have huge repercussions – on both a personal level for each affected senior citizen and on a societal level in terms of increasing the burden on the health-care system.

One-Third of Hospitals Provide Alternative-Medicine Option
In 2005, a study found that one in five hospitals provided their patients with the option of alternative medicine, but by 2007 that number had risen to one in three. "The largest hospitals in the U.S. are doing it," said Laurel Anderson, former director of health policy at the Minnesota Hospital Association, now with the Center for the Evolution of Health Care, an organization that promotes the availability of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in hospitals. "Minnesota is a leader in this area. The Minnesota Holistic Nursing Association has the most active association in the country."

Pentagon Researches Acupuncture, Etc. for Service Members
The Pentagon is sinking about $5 million this year into studying the effect of acupuncture on relieving brain-damage headaches among soldiers caught in battlefield explosions, of animal therapy on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and of meditation and yoga on increasing emotional buoyancy. "This new theme is a big departure for our cautious culture," said Dr. S. Ward Casscells, the Defense Department's assistant secretary for health affairs. The department, he said, is "struggling with" PTSD, "as we are with suicide, and we are increasingly willing to take a hard look at even soft therapies." The Army had a record suicide rate of 115 in 2007, and 2008 is expected to exceed that. ( Read more about Pentagon Researches Acupuncture, Etc. for Service Members)

Alternatives to Antidepressant Drugs
Even though the movement is still small, psychiatrists are increasingly shying away from pharmaceuticals in the treatment of depression. There is a subtle shift toward supplementing drug antidepressants such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil, with treatments like herbs, nutritional supplements, meditation and acupuncture, as scientific evidence mounts for the latter's effectiveness.

The Healing Influence of Religiousness
Study after study over the years has shown that practicing one's religion - with all of the persistence and sincerity that demands - inevitably leads to improved health and ability to recover from illness. For example, a 1987-95 research investigation of 21,000 Americans found that those who attended worship services more than once a week experienced a seven-year greater life span than their counterparts who never attended such services. Epidemiologist Jeff Levin, who wrote the book God, Faith and Health, conducted studies showing that older adults who thought of themselves as religious had better overall health than the faith-less.
