In part because of rejection rates during the World War II draft, concerns about the health – including mental health – of the US population developed in the 1940s. The issue was further spotlighted by efforts to deal with readjustment of returning veterans. Hollywood films such as “Spellbound” (1945) and “The Snakepit” (1948) also highlighted the issue. This video provides a popular introduction to the issue. At the time, drug therapies often used today were not available. The only such therapy mentioned is insulin injection. Electroshock is shown as a treatment for depression. There is a vague discussion of brain surgery – perhaps a reference to lobotomy. A version of group therapy is also shown. Psychoanalysis is briefly referenced.

Why Natural Beauty Supplies Are Even Better For Your Skin

Last Updated on Monday, 10 October 2011 11:10 Written by Natural Health Team Monday, 10 October 2011 11:10

Health Information about Why Natural Beauty Supplies Are Even Better For Your Skin

Everyone who cares about how they look knows that the key to good looks is taking care of your skin. Using the right cleanser, moisturizers, exfoliates and other skin care products for their skin type and situations are the tools for proper skin care. Over the years, people have used whatever was on the shelf at the store to satisfy their needs, but many of those products are full of chemicals that could actually wind up damaging your skin. That’s why switching over to natural beauty products can help you take even better care of your skin.

The approach to skin care for a variety of traditional beauty products have contained a number of preservatives and chemicals. These chemicals used to be tested on animals for toxicity, effectiveness and a wide variety of other reasons until the ASPCA and other animal rights groups created almost a worldwide fervor against the practice. The label “this product is not tested on animals” actually became a selling point for some companies. But this begs the question, if it’s too dangerous to test on animals, what are we doing using it as beauty care?

Fortunately for us, a lot of companies have taken this to heart and have developed natural beauty supplies with a much saner, safer approach. The best part of this approach is the fact that these products don’t have the chemicals and preservatives that traditional products do. That’s because they are made from all natural sources and they do the same jobs their counterparts do. What people are discovering is that all natural products not only do the job the others do, but many times they do it even better. And unlike traditional products, many people see difference in there skin looking and feeling better and healthier. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about powders and blushes, cleansers, exfoliates, scrubs and masks or even astringents and sun block, natural products do everything safer and many times, with better results.

Thanks to companies who develop natural health products, you don’t have to risk your skin by using chemical based products any longer. Without the damage that chemicals can cause, natural beauty supplies let you take just as good, if not better, care of your skin. When it comes to great skin care, take a look at all the natural skin care products and you’ll be surprised at just how much better your skin looks and feels.

Volunteers Enjoy Better Health

Last Updated on Sunday, 9 October 2011 11:10 Written by Natural Health Team Sunday, 9 October 2011 11:10

Health Information about Volunteers Enjoy Better Health

Natural health researchers at Institute for Vibrant Living have uncovered some amazing facts about volunteerism and your health. It turns out that helping others not only makes us feel good about ourselves, but it can also have profound positive effects on our physical health.

The mind and body aren’t separate. Anything we do to elevate our spirits will also have a beneficial effect on our health.

A recent study conducted by Cornell University found that volunteering increases a person’s energy, sense of mastery over life and self esteem. Other studies have demonstrated that these types of positive feelings can actually strengthen and enhance the immune system.

Positive emotions increase the body’s number of T-cells (cells in the immune system that help the body resist disease and recover quickly from illness). A Canadian study found that volunteering leads to heightened self-esteem, self worth and self-confidence. It also reduces heart rates and blood pressure.

The positive emotions from volunteering release endorphins into the bloodstream. Endorphins are the body’s natural tranquilizers and painkillers. They stimulate dilation of the blood vessels, which leads to a healthier heart. 

Michigan researchers who studied 2,700 people for almost ten years found that men who regularly did volunteer work had death rates two and one half times lower than men who didn’t. Part of this may be that the human need for connections to other people is related to longevity.

In a large survey conducted in Alameda County in California, researchers studied 5,000 people over a nine-year period. The researchers found that those who were unmarried, had few friends or relatives and shunned community organizations were twice as likely to die during the nine-year period – than people who had close relationships. This was true regardless of race, income, level of activity and other lifestyle factors.

In the book titled Civic Engagement and The Baby Boomer Generation, authors Laura Wilson and Sharon Simson note several studies that link volunteering to a lower risk of mortality and to better physical and mental health.

They found that people who volunteer at least 100 hours per year have slower heart rates and better overall health.  Asked to describe the quality of their health, 85 percent of volunteers reported their health as “good to very good” while only 63 percent of the people who did not volunteer gave the same answer. While 2 percent of the volunteers reported their health to be “poor” a much greater 11 percent of non-volunteers described their health as “poor”.

As one volunteer with arthritis put it: “I’m usually so doggone busy, I can’t figure out whether I have a pain or an ache. I just keep right on going. If we have a little twinge or something, we don’t have time to pay attention to it so consequently you don’t tend to dwell on these little odds and ends. I think you are healthier for it.”

A contributing factor could also be if you know the program is depending on you to be there, you can’t allow yourself to be sick and so you are more motivated to stay well and in good physical condition.

In some cases it may be that volunteering provides the motivation to get better, despite the odds against recovery. As one program director explained, “We have a volunteer who is actually a resident but that’s beside the point and she volunteers four days a week for about four hours each day. She is in her eighties and she broke her hip eight months ago. Everybody told her that she would never get out of the chair. Well, she had a responsibility to meet so she is now walking.”

Perhaps the concept of volunteering is summed up best in Susan Reznick’s book titled The Pleasure Zone. “The one who ends up getting the most from a good deed may ultimately be the good Samaritan.”

Volunteer to help your fellow citizens today. Even something as small as greeting people at an event or house of worship, or putting napkins and silverware on a dining table at a homeless shelter – these things can go a long way towards promoting goodwill to others who are less fortunate than yourself.

Remember the motto “Do what you can, with what you have, while you can.”

Happy and healthy volunteering America!

Remedy Urinary Tract Infection – Why a Natural Remedy Works Better Than Antibiotics?

Last Updated on Sunday, 9 October 2011 11:11 Written by Natural Health Team Sunday, 9 October 2011 11:11

Health Information about Remedy Urinary Tract Infection – Why a Natural Remedy Works Better Than Antibiotics?

If you analyze search engine results, you will notice that ‘ remedy urinary tract infection’ has been a very popular search in recent months. And if you have stayed current with health news, you will notice that U.T.I. antibiotics could actually be causing more harm than good.

Fact! It is reported the over 25% of U.T.I. sufferers who take antibiotics will suffer from repeat infections in the upcoming year.

In other words, antibiotics are leaving patients with a false hope and an unbalanced bacteria count.

If you are suffering from a urinary tract infection, this may be the most important information you read this year!

Why U.T.I. Antibiotics could be Harmful

The best way to attack any infection is with a strong immune system. However, doctors and researchers have convinced the general public that antibiotics are just as effective. This is a lie!

Antibiotics work (sometimes) because they kill bacteria. In fact, the word antibiotic means ‘no life’. Unfortunately, antibiotics kill most bacteria that stand in its way. And that includes ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria. And if you know how your body works, your body’s balance of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria is critical to your overall health.

If your ‘good’ bacteria count drops, you are left more susceptible to another U.T.I. attack later on. And the more antibiotics you take, the more resilient the bacteria will become to antibiotics. In other words, your urinary infection could now become a life-long problem.

But there is a better choice!

Why You Should Choose a Natural Remedy

Natural remedies were once viewed as taboo. But with modern research now entering the natural health field, many doctors and millions of patients are now using natural health for treatment.

And the reason why natural remedies work is because they allow the body to fight the infection and not some synthetic antibiotic that works by killing all the bacteria that stands in its way.

And there are well over 20 different ways that you could cure your urinary infection from home. Here are some simple ways you may want to write down!

5 Ways to Cure and Prevent U.T.I.s Naturally

1. There is no substitute for a well hydrated body. With that said, you may keep your bacteria balanced and your body flushed with drinking plenty of water over a few weeks. You should be drinking at least 10 tall glasses of water daily.

2. You should also boost your immune system immediately. We recommend a vitamin C (ascorbic acid) supplement along with a zinc supplement. You should take this at least twice a day.

3. You may also wish to make a parsley tea which can be done with dried parsley leaves or fresh leaves. Parsley provides the urinary system with apiol which is a volatile oil that acts as a urinary tract antiseptic.

4. Your diet is also paramount in fighting urinary infections. You should consider a high water soluble fiber diet that incorporates many fresh fruits and vegetables. These will help flush your infection and bacteria (including E coli).

5. Finally, do NOT drink cranberry juice all day! Many natural remedies say to drink cranberry juice which is true and false. Cranberries are great because they actually have a compound which declings E coli bacteria from the urinary tract. However, cranberries will only decling the bacteria, you must also flush them and keep them from your tract in the future. For the best U.T.I. remedy, visit our Remedy Urinary Tract Infection website.

Curing U.T.I. in 12 Hours Flat

You could spend up to $ 350 on antibiotics and another $ 150 on a doctor’s visit only to have another infection in 2 months. Don’t risk it!

Try our risk-free, step by step Urinary Tract Infection Natural Remedy that works in 12 hours and is 100% guaranteed. You could be part of the thousands who will cure their infection at home and save hundreds of dollars. Download your copy of our report and get our 6 month guarantee now!

Health Information about Stress, know the signs and how to deal with it for better physical and mental health

The world where we live in today can hardly be separated with this word “stress”, people spend so much money going to doctors, buying different kinds of medications to feel better. Infact I consider myself to be one of them until I started to do my own research, tried several aproaches personally and realizing what  the cause really is.  I would visit he doctor before at least twice a month but since I strated this routine I have not gone to one in two years.

The signs of stress: Backache,headache, fatigue, indigestion,cold sweats,palpitations,  insomia, nusea, unexplained loose bowel movements or constipation and it the body cannot cope up with it depression comes in and the feeling of hopelessness.

Going to the doctor to help lessen the discomfort caused by stress with the use of medications is adviced and would be of much help to the person. But knowing what to do when you feel stressed inorder that your body would not react so as to have the “stress signs” is of utmost importance.

Learn how to relax: can be done sitting or lying down.Take deep breaths slowly, hold it for a while and breathe out as slow as you can. Do this repeatedly for 10 to 15 times.  As your doing this observe your muscles loosening up. Then focus your mind on relaxing, if other thoughts enter just go back to concentrating on deep breathing and relaxing.

Know how to take chrage of your thoughts. Done with eyes closed.You can visualize a candel that has light in your mind and continue the slowly deep bearthing in and out.  If not comfortable visualizing candels you can do colors. Star with red then go to orange,yellow, green, blue,violet and white.Trying to see the color with your eyes closed.  Do for 30 minutes. Do exercise for 30 minutes with this routine. Do it everyday and let me know how you feel after a week. Important learn to control your thoughts and know your limits.
