Block out that noise
The world’s noise gets very quiet when you’re in tune with yourself
Wise words indeed. When we are out of sorts with ourselves we get what professional athletes call “rabbit ears”. We hear everything going on around us and it distracts us from what we need to do.
Get your body, your conscious mind and your subconscious mind all pulling in the same direction and those outside distractions become nothing more than white noise.
No more neglect!
Sitting in an airport is often a great time to reflect. Reflect on where I’ve been, where I’m going and how I’m going to get there.
Right now, sitting in LAS departures lounge I realize that I’ve been neglecting my practice, neglecting building my business and neglecting getting information out to those who need and want it.
Time to start getting back to what made me as successful as I was and what will make me successful again.
Wellness/Prevention: Blood Test for Early Detection of Osteoarthritis on the Horizon.
Researchers from the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom say they have created the first blood test for detecting early-stage osteoarthritis (OA). Not only can this simple blood test detect OA before damage to the bone occurs but it can also distinguish between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Lead researcher Dr. Naila Rabbani says, “This is a remarkable and unexpected finding. It could help bring early-stage and appropriate treatment for arthritis, which gives the best chance of effective treatment.” Scientific Reports, March 2015

Chiropractic: Obesity, Smoking, & Drinking Associated with Low Back Pain.
New research presented at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons annual meeting suggests that low back pain sufferers who smoke, drink, and/or are obese may possibly ease their agony by making healthier lifestyle choices. A review of data from 26 million men and women found that people who are smokers, are alcohol-dependent drinkers, and/or are categorized as obese are between four and five times more likely to currently experience back pain than individuals who don’t smoke or drink, and maintain a healthy weight.

Exercise: Walking After Meals Could Reduce Falls Among Elderly.
According to new report, getting up and moving around at a normal pace after eating could save older people from falls caused by the sudden loss in blood pressure known as post-prandial hypotension. Researcher Dr. Renuka Visvanathan explains, “Simple, practical and cheap lifestyle interventions that older people can implement are highly desirable. The results showing that walking can be an effective strategy are pleasing, and will help in better understanding the overall picture of this common problem.” The University of Adelaide, March 2015
Diet: Vitamin D May Reverse Progression of Some Prostate Tumors.
Taking vitamin D supplements may slow or reverse the progression of low-grade prostate tumors. In a new study, many of the men who received vitamin D supplements demonstrated improved outcomes while the men who received a placebo either experienced no change to their tumors or their tumors got worse. Researcher Dr. Bruce Hollis comments, “We don’t know yet whether vitamin D treats or prevents prostate cancer. At the minimum, what it may do is keep lower-grade prostate cancers from going ballistic.” American Chemical Society, March 2015
