Diabetes Could Be the AIDS of the 21st Century'
Type 2 diabetes is the industrialized world's leading cause of blindness, end-stage renal disease and non-traumatic limb amputations. The International Diabetes Federation reports it is vital to detect the condition early to reduce suffering and the burden on healthcare services. Affluent nations should be screening high-risk groups, such as people who are obese, have a family history, or are from ethnic groups predisposed to the condition. Unless significant efforts were made to stem the rise of diabetes, healthcare services across the world could soon be crippled by the costs of treating the disease and its complications.
Eating Red Fruits and Vegetables May Help Prevent Cancer
The National Cancer Institute recommends eating deep red or bright pink fruits and vegetables every day. Nutrition research shows that these contain phytochemicals, such as lycopene and anthocyanins. Phytochemicals, substances found only in plants, help your body fight disease and promote good health.

COLUMNS FROM THE EXPERTS
Dr. Galland's Integrated
Medicine
In "Foods that Heal" Leo Galland, M.D. discusses detoxifying foods which protect against the effects of environmental pollution, free-radical induced cell damage and cancer through dietary anti-oxidants. Foods that are richest in these anti-oxidants are red, yellow and green vegetables, uncooked nuts and seeds (like almonds and sunflower seeds), and fish. He also outlines the important infection-fighting foods such as garlic, ginger, onions, and tumeric, as well as vegetables containing a high concentration of a group of natural chemicals called saponins, which have immune-stimulating and antibiotic effects.
Mind Body Health Newsletter
A study on aging found that for men the frequency of sexual intercourse was associated with lower death rates. For women the enjoyment of intercourse was associated with longer life. In "Sex May Prolong Life" David S. Sobel, M.D. shows us studies exist to help us understand and enhance the health benefits of one of the most common, and certainly most pleasurable activities we humans experience.
Keeping Fit
Due largely to lifestyle factors that favor fast foods and sedentary pursuits, rather than nutritious meals and physical activity, many young people are overfat and underfit. Worse yet, they typically do not know how to change their situation in a positive and productive manner. In "Our Kids Need Help!" Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. points out the need for responsible leadership in the essential elements of health and fitness, so that our youth will not become discouraged and never try to improve their physical condition.
Mind Boosters
Alzheimer's Disease is a progressive deterioration in mental functioning with onset most commonly starting in one's 80s, although it has been known to start as early as age 30. While scientists have not fully determined the actual causes of Alzheimer's disease, a number of treatment options have been proposed. These include the use of antioxidants, blocking the breakdown of acetylcholine, and improving blood flow to brain cells. In "Supplements For Patients With Alzheimer's Disease" Ray Sahelian, M.D. encourages everyone who knows someone with Alzheimer’s to urge them to explore nutritional therapies. He references specific research-backed suggestions.

Loss of energy, weight gain, and decreases in health and vitality are not inevitable facts of life. They are the results of the drive that pushes us to achieve-whether it is in our roles at work, as parents, siblings, spouses, or friends. This results in Adrenal Burnout. The consequences of Adrenal Burnout include everything from fatigue to uncontrollable weight gain; from irritability to severe depression; from constant colds to life-threatening illnesses. In " Tired of Being Tired: Rescue, Repair, Rejuvenate" Nancy Deville and Jesse Hanley offer recommendations to make it easy to rejuvenate a tired system. Unique herbal and supplement formulas help the reader get back on track, and an easy fourteen-day meal plan helps the body gain back the years it's lost due to hard work and striving.

Healthy Woman Update
Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are two kinds of eating disorders. Anorexia nervosa is a form of self-starvation. Bulimia is eating large amounts of foods (binging) and then forcing oneself to throw up or using laxatives and water pills to get rid of what was overeaten (purging). These eating disorders are both a form of self-abuse. In "Eating Disorders (Anorexia Nervosa & Bulimia)" the American Institute of Preventive Medicine (AIPM) details symptoms, treatment options, and how to determine when to seek medical assistance and when self-care might be appropriate. Valuable preventive tips are included.
Healthy Recipes - There's a Yogi in the Kitchen
Did you know the summer months are the best time for eating spicy hot food? The "There's a Yogi in the Kitchen" column offers "Lessons in Curry II" focusing on masala – the mixture of spices and other ingredients that form the base of curries. Use this to create spicy foods, such as Curried Peas and Hot and Spicy Cauliflower, that can help you keep cool from the inside.
Healthy Alternatives
Steven Halpern has pursued a unique path as a musician, composer, and producer. He embraces a vision that sees music as far more than entertainment. For Halpern, music conveys a vibrational essence with important implications for health and healing. In "On the Healing Power of Music" an interview with Dr. Daniel Redwood, Halpern elaborates his view of music as a vehicle for self-empowerment and spiritual well-being, one found in the traditions of many cultures but often ignored in contemporary societies. He discusses the phenomenon of entrainment, in which the human heart involuntarily synchronizes its beat to the rhythm supplied by external stimuli, and emphasizes the importance of having a "balanced music diet," one not overloaded with harsh, disruptive rhythms and sounds.
