Groundbreaking Study of 5700 Women Finds Not Enough Exercise Means Serious Risk for Heart Problems, Death
Current exercise guidelines and standards are based on exclusively male data. In a first of its kind study, researchers studied over 5,700 women's fitness levels relative to age and lifestyle, and found that women who score less than 85 percent of their age predicted exercise capacity on an exercise stress test have a two times greater risk for serious heart problems and death.

Oriental Medicine Is An Effective Treatment For Insomnia
Insomnia is more serious than an inability to fall asleep early and has more debilitating effects than are commonly recognized. An estimated 32 million people suffer from insomnia in the U.S. Oriental medicine, with its focus on healing whole syndromes rather than individual symptoms, has shown great success treating those who experience insomnia.

Advanced technology and increased utilization of chronic care pose severe threats to employers’ financial stability. A recent survey of employers revealed that 90% have lifestyle incentive programs within their organizations or have plans to implement in the future. Lifestyle incentive programs provide employees the tools and self-motivation they need to be health conscious while cutting back the debilitating cost of chronic care.

Sandman, president of Individual Health Solutions, llc.

Healthy Bookstore - Meditation Secrets for Women

In "Meditation Secrets for Women: Discovering Your Passion, Pleasure, and Inner Peace" Camille Maurine and Lorin Roche, Ph.D. introduce a refreshingly modern, female-oriented approach to meditation that encourages "luxuriating in the sensory world, resting in the simplicity of your own being, enjoying yourself shamelessly." Meditation fills a need that women crave: to carve out time for themselves "to rest, to restore, to settle in." Rather than impose rules and strict discipline, however, the authors encourage women to rejuvenate themselves, open up, and affirm their "womanness" through meditation.

WELLNESS INVENTORY INCREASES MOTIVATION IN YOUR EMPLOYEE WELLNESS PROGRAM

A recent survey of HR and benefits managers reports that the biggest reason for lack of attendance of employee wellness programs is that they are "not sufficiently motivated." The Wellness Inventory, a wellness program that focuses on the whole person, not just on mechanical health risks, is the first program to make your own personal motivation to change the central focus. For more information on the program go to:

The Wellness Inventory is also available direct to consumer at: WellPeople.com

Echoes of Silence
We usually see only our own thoughts and feelings about what we imagine is happening superimposed on what actually is happening. To be able to discern the difference between what is real and what is imaginary, we must be free from patterns. In "If You See a New Paradigm, Kill It" Robert Rabbin presents the answer as going inward. Awareness is a direct seeing into the moment, without projection.

Wholistic Spiritual Healing
There are a number of terms commonly used for therapies outside the spectrum of conventional medical care. In "The Healing Potential in a Word (Part 5)" Daniel J. Benor, M.D. discusses Alternative, Holistic, Wholistic, and Integrative Care.
