To try a simple meditation, sit in a comfortable chair and take several deep breaths to help you relax, Dr. Norris says. When you feel serene, close your eyes and slowly repeat, Let my heart be like the sun and shine without judgment on everyone. Be sure to include yourself. If your mind starts to wander off to concerns like whether your Social Security check will arrive today, focus your concentrations back on the phrase. Do that for 5 minutes at least twice a day or at times when you feel bitter, angry, or sad. It s not to repress the sadness but to hold it out to the sun s light, she says. laptop battery

The sun is a symbol. When you go outside, the sun doesn t ask, Are you good enough to receive my light today It just shines on everyone no matter who you are or how you feel. That s how I think we should envision ourselves, Dr. Norris says. thinkpad

Find an abundance of happiness. Keep a journal and write down at least 50 wonderful things that happen to you every day, says Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., a 60-year-old Los Angeles-based psychologist and author of End the Struggle and Dance with Life. Include even small things like finding a quarter on the sidewalk or watching a gorgeous sunrise. Make the ordinary extraordinary. After awhile, you ll realize that most things that happen are positive and you don t have to dwell on the negative, says Dr. Jeffers, who credits positive thinking with helping her to survive breast cancer 14 years ago. microsoft

Plant hopes in a garden. Houseplants make people feel calmer and more optimistic, says Bruno Cortis, M.D., a Chicago cardiologist in private practice and author of Heart and Soul, a psychological and spiritual guide to preventing and healing heart disease.

So starting a garden or tending to a houseplant may help you forget problems and improve your health, he says. laptop computers

Pamper a pet. For many people over 60, a cat, dog, or other pet truly can mean the difference between life and death. Studies show that people in this age group who have pets live longer and have stronger immune systems. There is always some animal that people can connect with, says Dennis Gersten, M.D., a San Diego psychiatrist in private practice and publisher of Atlantis: The Imagery Newsletter. laptop computer

Cherish those compliments. If someone shows appreciation for you, don t let go of it. Take a 3- by 5-inch card, write down the date, who the person was, and what they said about you. Put that in a place like the bathroom mirror where you ll see it at least once a day. It will help you fend off negative feelings about yourself, Dr. Magee says. You also may want to keep a list of inspirational quotes from famous people like Abraham Lincoln, Will Rogers, or Helen Keller that are meaningful to you. desktop computer

If you passively go along with everything, you have absolutely no sense of control, and that would foster pessimism. So the person who is moaning, complaining, and demanding might not be very pleasant to be around, but they may be optimistic, Dr. Peterson says. They believe that everything they are saying is going to make a difference, and it probably does have an effect since they probably get attention. lenovo

So if you feel strongly about a problem and truly believe that complaining will make a difference, don t hold your feelings in et someone know about it, Dr. Peterson urges. hard drive

Imagine your joy. Using your imagination to stimulate your inner-healing resources can help boost your self-esteem, happiness, and cancer-fighting immunity, says Dr. Gersten. travelstar

This process, called guided imagery, is a powerful tool that can help prevent and alleviate many diseases, Dr. Gersten says. To try it, take a couple of deep breaths, then picture yourself as the spiritual elder of a clan or tribe. You are revered by all of your fellow tribe people for your knowledge and life experiences. You are useful and have a great deal to give to your tribe and the world. See yourself as being much happier now than you were at any other time of your life because you can share your wisdom and joy with others. gateway

Do that once or twice a day for 5 minutes, Dr. Gersten suggests. laptop parts

Eat smart. It s hard to keep your emotions in balance if you re not eating right, Dr. Gersten says. Although no specific foods will boost your mood, he recommends eating a balanced diet that includes at least six servings of fruits and vegetables and five servings of grains a day to help fend off depression and other unwanted emotions. software

You don t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing. It s that simple, says Lila Green, in her sixties, speaker, author of Making Sense of Humor, and a guest lecturer at the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor. She speaks on the topic of lighthearted physician-patient communication styles. canon

Although the evidence isn t conclusive, scientists are discovering that Green may be right: Laughter is the best medicine, particularly after age 60. desktop pc

When 33 men and women, ages 66 to 101, for example, were asked to compare their sense of humor with siblings who had died of natural causes, researchers at the University of Akron found that the survivors recalled laughing more in their youth than their decreased brothers and sisters. desktop computers

Primitive societies exposed to very little salt suffer from little or no hypertension. Salt (sodium chloride) intake has also been definitively linked to hypertension in western societies. Eliminating salt from the diet lowers blood pressure in most people. The more salt is restricted, the greater the blood pressure-lowering effect. Individual studies sometimes come to differing conclusions about the relationship between salt intake and blood pressure, in part because the blood pressure-lowering effects of salt restriction vary from person to person, and small to moderate reductions in salt intake often have minimal effects on blood pressure-particularly in young people and in those who do not have hypertension. Nonetheless, dramatic reductions in salt intake are generally effective for many people with hypertension. Read more... data recovery

Hypoglycemia

Doctors find that people with hypoglycemia usually improve when they eliminate refined sugars and alcohol from their diet, eat foods high in fiber (such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts), and eat small, frequent meals. Few studies have investigated the effects of these changes, but the research that is available generally supports the observations of doctors. Some symptoms of low blood sugar may be related to, or made worse by, food allergies. And even modest amounts of caffeine may increase symptoms of hypoglycemia. Read more... cisco

Atkins Low Fat Vegetarian Macrobiotic High Fiber Other Diets Atkins

The Atkins Diet is a high-protein, low-carbohydrate weight loss diet developed by Robert Atkins, M.D., during the 1960s. The Atkins Diet severely restricts the consumption of carbohydrate-rich foods and encourages the consumption of protein and fat. The diet is divided into four phases: Induction, Ongoing Weight Loss, Premaintenance, and Maintenance. During the Induction phase (the first 14 days of the diet), carbohydrate intake is limited to no more than 20 grams per day. No fruit, bread, grains, starchy vegetables, or dairy products (except cheese, cream, and butter) are allowed during this phase. During the Ongoing Weight Loss phase, dieters experiment with various levels of carbohydrate consumption until they determine the most liberal level of carbohydrate intake that allows them to continue to lose weight. Dieters are encouraged to maintain this level of carbohydrate intake until their weight loss goals are met. During the Premaintenance and Maintenance phases, dieters determine the level of carbohydrate consumption that allows them to maintain their weight. To prevent weight regain, dieters are told to maintain this level of carbohydrate consumption, perhaps for the rest of their lives. According to Dr. Atkins, most people must limit their carbohydrate intake to no more than 60 grams per day to keep lost weight off. Read more... monitor

Low Fat

The most common reasons people lower the fat in their diet are for weight loss and the prevention and treatment of diseases, such as heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, cancer, and diabetes. The America diet provides an average of 34% of calories from fat, with 12% of these calories coming from saturated fat. However, the American Heart Association, The National Cancer Institute, and the American Dietetic Association recommend that only 20% to 30% of our daily caloric intake should come from fat, with 10% or less coming from saturated fat. The American Heart Association also recommends that we consume less than 300 mg or less of cholesterol per day; this equals a little more than the amount of cholesterol in one large egg.

Vegetarian

It is well documented that vegetarians are healthier than people who eat meat. In some cases, vegans have better health than lacto-ovo vegetarians. Although many vegetarians also exercise and avoid smoking, evidence indicates that their good health is largely due to diet. One study of 30, 000 people in California compared vegetarians and meat eaters who, aside from their dietary differences, had very similar lifestyles and health practices. The vegetarians were less likely to be obese, or to have high blood pressure, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or colon cancer. They were also less likely to die from heart disease. In fact, the vegetarians were healthier even than people who ate meat only occasionally. Even when vegetarians were fatter than meat eaters, the vegetarians had lower cholesterol levels.

Macrobiotic

The earliest recorded usage of the term macrobiotics is found in the writings of Hippocrates. Translated literally, macro is the Greek word for great and bios is the word for life.

Throughout history, philosophers and physicians from many parts of the world have used this term to signify living in harmony with nature, eating a simple, balanced diet, and living to an active old age.

(May to December) 12. Cucumbers Virtually any vegetable Remove Indoor Carcinogens Naturally wipro

Y ou don t have to install high-tech gadgetry, rip up walls, or spend a fortune to banish cancer-promoting substances from your home. All that you may need is a green thumb. lap top

Plants can have a vital role in clearing carcinogens and other unstable organic chemicals from household air, says B. C. Bill Wolverton, Ph.D., a former NASA senior scientist who has studied plants and pollution treatment for more than 20 years. They can make a significant difference in the pollution levels in your home. refurbished

Here are few suggestions from Dr. Wolverton to help these plants work most effectively for you. memory

Pick the right plant. Lady palm, peace lily, Ficus alii, golden pothos, and areca palm are easy to grow, insect-resistant, and can absorb many of the cancer-causing chemicals like benzene, arsenic, and formaldehyde found in secondhand smoke and other household pollutants, says Dr. Wolverton, author of How to Grow Fresh Air. Azalea, Boston fern, spider plant, chrysanthemum, philodendron, and mother-in-law s tongue also clean the air but may require more diligent care, he says. intel

Keep it in your breathing zone. A typical houseplant can filter about 6 cubic feet of air bout the area of a lounge chair. Make sure that you place the plant on a table or on the floor beside your bed or favorite chair to maximize the amount of clean air around you, he suggests. as400

If you want a healthier indoor environment, place those plants in your breathing zones, where you spend most of your time. Then you will have significant air-quality improvement with just one or two plants. averatec

Keep a fan nearby, too. Plants can remove the invisible chemicals like benzene from the air but will do little to dissipate smoke and other visible particles, Dr. Wolverton says. For that, consider getting a high-efficiency particulate (HEPA) filter. These filters, available at many hardware stores, quickly remove all particulates from the air. hardware

Ideally, you would have cleaner indoor air if you used a HEPA filter in conjunction with two or three indoor plants in each room, he says. dual xeon

Radon: Close the Door on This Cancer Culprit

After a construction engineer set off radiation detectors as he walked into a nuclear power plant in Limerick, Pennsylvania, in 1984, investigators narrowed their search for the contamination down to a startling culprit. storage

It was radon seeping into the man s home, exposing his family to 50 times the annual radiation levels allowed for uranium miners. Although the family quickly fixed the problem, they may have an elevated risk of developing lung cancer for years or decades, Dr. Landrigan says. seagate

Radon isn t a small problem, says Charles T. Hess, Ph.D., professor of physics at the University of Maine at Orono, who has studied the health effects of radon for more than 20 years. It s in the air. It s in the water. It s one of the biggest sources of radiation exposure in the United States. computer sales

Radon is a naturally occurring gas produced by radioactive decay of uranium in soil and water throughout the country. It is the second most common cause of lung cancer after smoking, contributing to 10, 000 deaths a year. Smoking and radon exposure more than doubles your risk of developing lung cancer, Dr. Landrigan says. computer hardware

Because it is a gas, it can easily slip into a home through cracks in floors and walls, construction joints, and gaps around pipes. It also is commonly found in wells or municipal water systems that use groundwater, Dr. Hess says. Up to six million homes in the United States may exceed EPA standards for radon exposure. printers

If you have excessive radon in your home, it is prudent to take corrective measures to get it out, no matter what your age. It s just a gas, and you can get rid of it very easily, says Dr. Landrigan, who is also co-author of Raising Children Toxic Free. technology

Be snoopy. Call the county or city health department and ask if they have received any reports of high radon levels in your neighborhood, says Richard Sextro, Ph.D., a staff scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley. Ask neighbors if they have taken recent radon measurements. Since radon levels can fluctuate dramatically from house to house, this isn t a foolproof method. But at least it will give you a better idea of whether you should test. mainframe

Check it out. Get a radon detector, available at many hardware stores, and place in the basement or lowest living areas of your home, Dr. Landrigan says. Detectors that accumulate radon for 2 to 90 days will give you a general idea of your risk. If that reading is high, get a detector that will measure radon levels for 6 to 12 months. Since radon levels can vary day to day, a long-term test will give you a better idea of your year-round radon exposure. When the detector is ready, you mail the device off to a lab that analyzes the contents and then sends you a report. samsung

Radon is measured in units called picocuries per liter. If your test results are greater than 4 picocuries per liter, the highest exposure recommended by the EPA, you should consider ways to fix the problem. In most cases it can be done for $500 to $2, 500, according to the EPA. computer repair

Stop those leaks. Seal large cracks in your basement with caulk to prevent radon from pouring in, Dr. Hess suggests. In basements with porous or cracked concrete, apply several layers of epoxy paint or masonry sealer to the floor or walls. used computers

Get some fresh air. Open all the windows, particularly in the basement, and use a window fan to flush the radon out, Dr. Landrigan suggests. network

Take it out before it gets in. Installing a 4-inch plastic pipe through the foundation and venting it to a small fan in the roof will suck the gas away before it gets in the house, Dr. Sextro suggests. You may want to consider having this done professionally, since pipe and fan size can be dependent on house size and local codes. digital cameras
