Grape-Seed Extract Helps Speed Up Wound Recovery
Grape-seed extract may help skin wounds heal faster and with less scarring, a new study suggests. The extract seemed to aid wound healing in two ways: It helped the body make more of a compound used to regenerate damaged blood vessels, and it also increased the amount of free radicals in the wound site. Free radicals help clear potentially pathogenic bacteria from a wound.
Historic Nutrition Information Resource On-Line
The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements recently launched a nutrition information website at http://www.nns.nih.gov. It provides a wealth of information, previously unavailable on-line, from the May 2000 National Nutrition Summit and the historic 1969 White House Conference on Food, Nutrition, and Health. The new website was made possible by a collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the ODS of the Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

HEALTHY LIVING
Simply Well
Many languages use the same word for both breath and spirit, or life force. In "Breathe for Life" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H. encourages you to start paying attention to your breathing as a form of relaxation, stress reduction, and healing. Breathing consciously not only will relieve tension and help quiet any fear, it can also relieve pain. So before you reach for the aspirins, the antacid tablets, or the telephone to call your doctor, do some breathing.
Keeping Fit
Perhaps the most obvious and misunderstood aspect of the aging process is the undesirable change in body composition and physical appearance. Approximately 80% of Americans are sedentary and 75% of adults are overweight. In "Strength Training for Older Adults" Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. explains that with respect to reversing body composition problems, strength exercise is effective for adding muscle, losing fat, raising resting metabolic rate, and increasing daily energy expenditure.
Healthy Computing
When working at the computer, we often wait with bated breath and poised fingers in anticipation of the next move. These patterns of holding and breathing shallowly can contribute to discomfort and tiredness. In "Regenerate While Waiting" Erik Peper, Ph.D. and Katherine Hughes Gibney give us tips for how to interrupt these tension patterns and improve our energy.
