•Heartburn and Indigestion: Is Too Much Stomach Acid the Cause?
? Most of us have experienced the discomfort of heartburn or indigestion as we wolf down a juicy hamburger laden with "the works", or gulp down an ice cold bottle of our favorite beer. You would assume that gastric acid is the cause of your discomfort and immediately resort to antacids, but this may not be the right thing to do.
To understand the cause of your heartburn or discomfort, it's important to know what is happening within your stomach. Gastric juice is produced by small glands that...
•Energy Deregulation: How it Benefits the Consumer
In the past, the energy market in the U.S. was regulated. This meant that monopolies controlled the gas and electricity industry. The problem with monopolies is that they become complacent. They believe that you need them, as opposed to them needing you. Their customer service is quite often bad and lack of competition invariably means increased prices.
In 1988 deregulation was approved at a national level. Since then, numerous states have elected to deregulate their energy and this has...

•Avoid Sugar: The Deadly Sweet Aging Treat
The foods we eat and the beverages we drink are loaded with sugar, or chemical alternatives that are just as bad and worse. Everything we eat from breakfast cereals, soups, ketchup and other condiments, to processed meats and foods - they all contain sugar.
Most Americans get about 22 percent of their daily calories from sugar - an "empty calorie" source of no nutritional value. It's no wonder we are malnourished as a nation, and obese at the same time.
If you examine your food labels...
•Adrenal Stress: Your HPA Axis is the Key
Adrenal fatigue, also known as adrenal stress, describes a set of symptoms related to the way your body manages stress. Stress is a part of your daily life. Some stress is good, some stress is bad. Some people say that stress is a killer. Well, it's not quite correct. It's not stress that kills us, but rather our inability to adapt to it.
We live in a fast-paced world. We constantly push our minds and bodies to the limit working long hours, fighting endless traffic on the roads, dealing with...
•The Toxic Chemicals in Your Food is Making You Sick
Our general standard of living has risen over the years. Is it not ironic that our general state of health has substantially declined? Certain diseases and illnesses have skyrocketed in recent years. Have you ever wondered why?
As food technology and food science as "progressed", we have gradually been exposed to an increasing range of poisonous substances that have been added to our foods. It's no coincidence that we have seen a proliferation of new diseases and a huge increase in known...
•Health Benefits of Himalayan Salt Lamps
Himalayan salt crystal lamps are reputed to have extensive health benefits, but do they work?
THE SCIENCE
From a scientific perspective, this is how salt crystal lamps work.
The atomic structure of crystal salt is bound electrically, not molecularly, and this enables the salt crystal to change back and forth from a crystalline to a liquid state.
The heat of the bulb in the salt crystal lamp creates a higher surface temperature than the surrounding air in the room. This attracts water...
•Use a Posture Cushion to Relieve Stress
A good posture cushion is designed to reverse bad and forward head posture, but it is also a great way to relieve stress, especially the stress in your upper body.
It is estimated that over 85% of modern people suffer from stress-related problems. If you are under continual stress, it is likely that your brain, via your HPA axis, cannot reestablish equilibrium in your body (we refer to this as a state of homeostasis). It is thus likely that your body will be in a constant fight-or-flight...

•Bad Posture: Rolfing Can Help Improve Your Poor Posture
Do you have bad posture? If so, Rolfing may be the solution to help improve your poor posture.
Over the years, your body reacts to trauma, both physical and emotional, by creating "blockages". Dr. Chuck Lustfield, Ph.D., a Certified Advanced Rolfer, says that the result of this trauma "intensifies our struggle with the force of gravity, which results in reduced freedom of movement, an increased likelihood of chronic pain, poor posture and a lessened sense of aliveness and self-esteem."

•Bad Posture: How it Affects Your Breathing
Bad posture can negatively impact your life in so many ways, including your breathing. And breathing, as you know, is absolutely essential for human life. Before we examine how bad posture affects your breathing, you need to understand how poor posture arises in the first place.
Bad posture arises because of two main reasons:
1. Your tonic muscles, responsible for holding your posture, constrict and tighten over time if you do not stretch them periodically.
2. Your phasic muscles, used for...
