| Herbal Remedies : |
|
Herbal and alternative medicines are increasingly used, and even more increasingly recognized by patients and consumers alike. While the use of these agents is understandable, and may certainly be beneficial, there are a number of important points to be recognized by those who prescribe them. In most cases, that prescriber is YOU, and you therefore have to take at least a little time to do your prescribing as carefully as you would expect of your physician. The list of points below is rather long . . . but you really need to pay attention to all of them.
The term "natural" or "herbal" does not in any way necessarily mean "safe" (snake venom is natural . . . and deadly)
The FDA investigates medications and is also responsible for food items and additives. This federal agency demands proof of a level of effectiveness for drugs, and at least safety for food. It is very much worth remembering that herbal remedies are considered neither drug nor food, and are virtually unregulated. As opposed to drug development in which the pharmaceutical company must involve itself in expensive proofs of safety and effectiveness to the FDA, this same agency requires no proof of anything from those who sell herbs (Europeans do have controls on herbs). Indeed, the FDA would have to prove unsafety to remove them from the market. Be careful in your choice of preparations . . . there are unsafe fly-by-night vendors alongside those selling safe preparations.
The self-prescriber of multiple herbs will be experimenting with his/her own combination of therapies. This markedly increases the potential for negative interactions.
These agents do definitely have biologic effects . . . they will interact with prescription medicines and may cause other side effects. You really need to let your "conventional physician" know what you're taking.

| Tips to Avoid Over Eating : |
|
Slow down, chew with purpose: Take at least 20 minutes to consume a meal. Taking longer to eat will make you feel as though you are eating more. Enjoy the conversation and companionship.
Eat only while sitting down: Much extra food in consumed on the run. Making it a point to sit down while eating will help you think about how much you are consuming.
Drink a 12 ounce glass of water before eating: It will take up room in your stomach and make you feel less hungry.

| Meditation Tips : |
|
Write down a list of your medications, with their dose and frequency. This can be used as a reminder, and can be utilized if you're unable to tell medical personnel in the case of an emergency. This will be particularly useful if you see more than one doctor.
Take your medications until they're gone. This is particularly true for medications such as antibiotics. If you are prescribed two weeks worth of pills, don't stop them in a few days "because you're feeling better". These medications need to be taken for the total duration of time that they're prescribed to completely clear the infection to keep it from coming back.

| Daily Health Task Lists : |
|
"Health Lies in labor, and there is no royal road to it but through toil." -Wendell Phillips
Just like brushing your teeth, healthy habits should be cultivated on a daily basis. The following is a guide to daily tasks:
Activity should be a daily occurrence. Walk, run or jump for a minimum total of 20 minutes a day.
Protect your skin. Sun block should be applied on face, neck, arms and hands even in the dead of winter. It protects against climatic toxins too. Moisturize skin daily.
Eat fruits, vegetables, grains, low-fat dairy products and small amounts of protein. Avoid sweets and other processed foods.
Meditate or spend a minimum of five minutes daily in quiet time.
Find your spiritual self. Discover what inspires you, raises your level of consciousness, motivates you, and satisfies your soul.
Exercise your brain. Read, study, solve problems, and learn new skills. As does the body, the brain atrophies with lack of use.
Hug somebody.
