A Healthy Fat That Helps You Lose Weight --
Community |
 Over
the years we have been inundated with the mantra
that fats are bad for the heart and waist. While
saturated fat raise cholesterol levels and are
associated with increased rates of coronary
heart disease and cancer, that doesn’t mean that
all fats are bad. One type of special dietary
fat that may actually be the diamond in the
rough is conjugated linoleic acid, otherwise
known as CLA.

The Five Stages of the Grieving Process.
Death and taxes -- the two things in life that
are inevitable. Fortunately, you can plan on
your taxes; unfortunately, death often takes us
by surprise. Even when death is expected, it is
still hard for those who knew the deceased to
cope with the loss. How we deal with the grief
that follows the death of a loved one is a very
private issue. There are five "classic stages"
of grief: shock, denial, anger/guilt/bargaining,
depression, and acceptance.

HILL, NC -- August 29, 2000 -- Doctors have
known for years that osteoporosis boosts the
risk of bone fractures, especially among elderly
women who live at home. Now, the first large
study to examine fracture rates of women living
in nursing homes found that low bone mineral
density -- especially among residents who are
more active -- also puts those women at a higher
risk of fractures.
Q: I have been monitoring my blood pressure
recently. It has been running moderately high,
usually from 138/88 to 158/95. In the past few
days it has been lower, 117/88 to 128/95. I am
concerned because it seems that I cannot get my
diastolic pressure to go any lower. I have been
cutting back on my salt and fatty food intake. I
have been trying to exercise more. Other than
medication, are there any other things that I
can do to lower my diastolic blood pressure?
