Simply Well - "Breathe for Life" - John W. Travis, MD, MPH

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.

Women's Health Detective - "How Calcium and Magnesium Can Slow Down Aging" - Nan Kathryn Fuchs, PhD

In "How Calcium and Magnesium Can Slow Down Aging" Nan Kathryn Fuchs, Ph.D. shares important facts. Magnesium is needed to carry calcium into your bones. The same ratio of calcium to magnesium you take to keep your bones strong and flexible will also keep you young at heart.
