Why are you on a losing streak? It could be the stiff competition, it could be a run of bad luck or it could be something simple, like a lack of nutrition.

Get with the program
By Tresa Erickson
January 22, 2005
You can’t stand it. Last January you vowed to lose weight and went on a diet. You lost several pounds over a period of months but now it’s all come back. Don’t feel bad. You are not alone. Thousands of people go on diets every year and lose weight only to gain it back later after they have stopped dieting. The difficulty in losing weight and keeping it off pushes many people to join a weight-loss program. If you are among those looking for a weight-loss program, be careful in your selection. Study the programs carefully and ask questions. It could make a difference as to how much weight you safely lose and whether you keep it off.
Don’t give in to mood binges
By Tresa Erickson
January 22, 2005
You’ve had one of the worst days ever. It all started this morning when the dog got out and you had to chase it down, which made you late for work and upset your boss. The fun didn’t stop there. You spilled coffee all over an important report and learned that a deadline had been moved up on one of your projects. When you got home, the day got even worse. The kids squabbled all night long and the toilet overflowed. It’s now 10 p.m., the kids are in bed and you’re trying to calm down. You open the fridge and pull out a chocolate pie. A big slice of that will make you feel better, right? Wrong.
It makes you feel better
By Ronda Addy
January 22, 2005
Using laughter to make people feel better has been around since the time of King Solomon. Back in the 1300s, Doctor Henri de Mondeville told jokes to patients in the recovery room. In the 1600s, Richard Mulcater, an educator, told people suffering from head colds to laugh to feel better. Throughout history, kings have had court jesters who would make them laugh when times got stressful. Let’s take a look at how laughter can help make you feel better.

People can now get their prescription medications at online pharmacies from doctors they never see.

Oh, nuts!
By Tresa Erickson
January 22, 2005
Almonds, cashews, macadamias, peanuts, walnuts and more. You’re wild about nuts, but you’re not so wild about the calories and fat they contain. Just an ounce of nuts, less than a handful, contains 165 to 200 calories and 14 to 21 grams of fat. Because of this, you tend to pass on nuts, but recent data suggests you may not have to.

January 22, 2005
You’ve just recently been diagnosed with heart disease, and in addition to exercising, your physician is urging you to change your diet. Less fat, sodium and cholesterol is on the agenda, but you’re not sure how to go about it. You could clear out your cabinets and eat all-new foods, but you really don’t have to go to that extreme. With a few substitutions, you can turn most recipes into low-fat, low-sodium and low-cholesterol specialties.

When you think of counterfeiting, chances are the first thing that comes to mind is money. But did you know that prescription drugs can be counterfeited? While counterfeit drugs are not as common in the United States as they are in other countries, occurrences are on the rise. Counterfeit drugs either lack an active ingredient or are stronger or weaker in strength. While they are not a cause to panic, there is cause to be concerned, especially if you are taking a high-priced drug or some of the best-selling drugs on the market. Here is an overview of counterfeit prescription drugs and some suggestions on how not to become a victim of them.
Under the sea
By Ronda Addy
January 22, 2005
Oceans make up 70% of the earth’s surface and yet we still know so little about them. It hasn’t been until recently with advancements in diving technology that scientists and oceanographers have been able to study what is below the waves. It is said that oceans may contain as many as two million undiscovered species. Over the past 20 years, scientists have been able to extract 20,000 new biochemical substances from marine life. The possibilities for future development of drugs from marine life to help fight cancer and asthma or stop wrinkles is just beginning. Strap on the scuba gear and let’s go take a look at what’s under the sea.
