Supplement could be the first therapy to slow Parkinson's
A vitamin supplement you can buy in pharmacies and health stores could be one of medicine’s ‘holy grails’ – it may slow the progress of Parkinson’s, the neurodegenerative disease.

Continuing our Wellness Journey - The Playing and Working Dimension
This week our journey focuses on the power of Playing and Working, the 8th of
12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. Most of our daily life falls under one of these two categories.

Many people turn to the entertainment industry instead of engaging in the joyful, creative, spontaneous play that is vital to our wellbeing.

Deep Medicine - William Stewart, MD
The core thesis of Deep Medicine is that everything we think, feel or do either fosters health or detracts from it. If we are responsible for our own well-being, we need to look closely at our daily choices. Dr. Stewart explains, "Health-creating change is not simply a 10-step program or an 8-week course but a lifelong challenge. Making healthy choices and sustaining them is vital to our well being." Deep Medicine connects our personal health with everything that surrounds us. It integrates direct healing plans and protocols with lifelong learning and practice in an effort to create an optimal path to health. It is this integration that provides the greatest potential for meaningful, lasting, and truly transformative living.

Vegan Global Fusion - "Making the Most of Miso" - Louise Hagler
Healthy Update is proud to introduce a new column "Vegan Global Fusion" by Louise Hagler, a pioneer in creating vegan cuisine with tofu and other soyfoods to satisfy the western palate. Her first column, "Making the Most of Miso," introduces this traditional cultured and fermented food from Asia that contains beneficial bacteria and enzymes to aid digestion, along with other healthful attributes. Miso is a live food that is best purchased unpasteurized, according to Louise. When cooking with miso, it is best to never let it boil, since boiling will destroy the beneficial bacteria and enzymes. She offers a great Cucumber Gazpacho recipe which is excellent for miso since it calls for no cooking at all. View More
