Why porridge is the best start to the day
It's already known that porridge is one of the best starts to the day - and now scientists think they may have the answer why. Porridge is one of the lowest GI (glycaemic index) foods around, and researchers have discovered that it increases the production of a gut hormone production that suppresses appetite and leads to a feeling of being full.

Integrator Blog - Daphne White: Harkin Urges End to Discrimination Against Alternative Healthcare Practices
When the Integrator's Daphne White, CHTP observed the February 26, 2009 US Senate hearing on integrative healthcare chaired by Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), she chose to focus on Harkin's introductory comments in which he calls for an "end to discrimination against alternative healthcare practices." White then reviews the comments of the sterling panel of Oz, Weil, Ornish and Hyman.The odd point is that Harkin and Mikulski, after specifically focusing both of the week's hearing on "integrative healthcare" - language preferred at the parallel IOM Summit - Harkin announces an interest in changing the name of NCCAM to "National Center for Integrative Medicine." White has captured a provocative dialogue. Has our time actually come? What time is it? We've got a challenge to make sure Harkin and his colleagues get that right.

Mind Over Matter - "Healing: An Individual Perspective" - Barry Bittman, MD
"Healing" means "to make sound or whole, or to restore to health." It also
refers to causing an undesirable condition to be overcome. In the context of mind-body medicine, what affects the mind clearly and indistinguishably affects the body and visa versa. In "Healing: An Individual Perspective" Barry Bittman, M.D. points out our tendency to ignore what is really bothering us. He urges us to better deal with the issues that stress us. Take time to stop and contemplate the way we really feel. Get in touch with our feelings. Ask ourselves whether it's the issue or our perspective that's causing us pain.
