	Hydrotherapy Effective for Well-Being (May 13, 2008 at 1:15 PM) - With the many advances in modern medicine in the last several decades, the simple but proven remedies of the past that permit the body’s own natural healing ability to turn on and overcome illness or make repairs have been discarded. Weight Control (May 5, 2008 at 2:25 PM) - Many times the root problem of excessive weight is not food, but loneliness, anger, feelings or helplessness, or lack of purpose. Food is substituted for what cannot be attained in life. Clean Air and its health value (May 5, 2008 at 2:18 PM) - Summary of Recommendations 1. Exercise regularly in the open air, preferably in the out of doors. 2. Practice deep breathing (as in jogging). 3. Avoid smog – exercise when the air is the cleanest. 4. Air out bedding and clothing. 5. Open the windows at night, even in the winter. (Close the bedroom door to conserve heat in the house). Life Giving Air (May 5, 2008 at 2:07 PM) - Throughout most of recorded history, it seems that people have taken fresh air for granted. However, with the advent of the industrial revolution, followed by current concerns for indoor and outdoor air pollution, fresh air has become a more valued commodity. Air is an important preventive & natural healing agent. Life in the open air is God’s medicine for the restoration of life Is Chocolate good for you? (May 5, 2008 at 7:59 AM) - Its on everybody's lips these days. Didn't you know that Coffee and chocolate and wine are now good for you? Given the right slant to the research, it is possible to focus on certain aspects of these substances that appear to benefit the consumer. However, an evaluation of chocolate with a judgment as to its suitability as food will result in condemning chocolate on three counts: General Principles for a Safe Progressive Exercise Program (May 5, 2008 at 5:43 AM) - It is safer to exercise than not. Even the most disabled can profit by exercising whatever is left. 22 Benefits of Exercise (Apr 22, 2008 at 11:59 AM) - Inactivity is a fruitful cause of disease. Exercise quickens and equalizes the circulation of the blood, but in idleness the blood does not circulate freely, and the changes in it, so necessary to life and health, do not take place. Exercise (part 2) (Apr 22, 2008 at 11:45 AM) - The following are recommendations for the minimal amount of exercise required for producing the benefits described in part one. Aerobic activity: 3 to 5 times per week 20 to 60 minutes per session Resistance training: 2 times per week 8 to 12 reps per exercise 8 to 10 exercises, including all muscle groups Stretching: 3 to 5 times per week Exercise (part 1) (Apr 22, 2008 at 11:30 AM) - When you read about the health benefits of physical activity, it almost sounds like an ad for snake oil. “When used according to directions, this product can help you loose weight, age more slowly, reduce stress and tension and sleep better; it tones muscles, strengthens joints and bones, and prevents artery disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.” Sounds too good to be true. Do all exercise programs really deliver all of these benefits? Russian Steam Bath (Apr 21, 2008 at 11:49 AM) - The Russian steam has many effects: first it increases body temperature, and metabolism. It also increases the pulse rate, blood pressure, and leukocytosis. Large amounts of water should be taken before a treatment because the treatment will induce profuse sweating. It will also cause peripheral vasodilation.
