You suffer from a dull, throbbing pain in the joints of your feet.  Each foot is getting weaker and it is affecting your walking.  Over time, the pain seems to be increasing.  Will the pain continue to worsen?

At any age, children can become very sick when they come into contact with multiple household products, medicines, chemicals and outdoor pesticides.  The best way to avoid poison emergencies is prevention.  All dangerous items should be locked up and out of reach.  It is also important to store medicines, household products and chemicals in their original containers. 

Have you made your New Year’s Resolution yet?  Throughout the years I have often overheard or spoken with people talking about the many different New Year’s Resolutions that they have had or how they are trying to adhere to the ones from the past.

The common cold is a viral infection of the lining of the nose, sinuses, throat and large airways.  Many different viruses cause colds.  Rhinoviruses cause most spring, summer and fall colds.  Influenza (Flu) viruses and respiratory syncytial viruses cause colds in the late fall and winter.  Flu viruses spread easily from person to person by infected droplets in the air from people coughing and sneezing.  Rhinoviruses and respiratory syncytial viruses are also air-borne, but most likely by direct contact with infected secretions carried on the fingers.

Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin because the human skin makes vitamin D when it is exposed to natural sunlight.  However, in modern western society our time in the sun and the use of sunscreens are cutting down on our exposure to the sun, which is good to prevent skin cancer, but could be lowering the production of Vitamin D.  Even weak sunscreens (SPF 8) block your body’s ability to generate vitamin D by 95 percent.  It is estimated that 40 percent of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient and 48 percent of young girls (9 to 11 years old) are vitamin D deficient.  Vitamin D is perhaps the single most underrated nutrient in the world of nutrition.

When winter’s cold and rain arrive we see less of pollen’s typical allergic symptoms- such as sneezing, runny noses and itching eyes.  However, the effect of cold air on the upper and lower respiratory tract in allergic patients may be a problem. 

Currently, one of the most searched dental terms is Invisalign®.  Invisalign® is an exciting new way to have your teeth straightened with out the brackets and wires of traditional orthodontics.  Invisalign® has been chosen by over a half million people who want the benefits of an amazing smile.

For people who sit for a long periods of time, such as computer users, they often suffer from shoulder and back pain.  To relieve these symptoms, the following exercise may help.  Find a quiet place with enough room to move your arms.  Raise both arms in front of you, shoulder height and width apart, palms facing each other.  Rotate your arms in circles, with each arm rotating in opposite directions.  First, raise your right arm and rotate it forward, at same time rotate the left arm backward.  Do these movements 49 times.

It’s the New Year — What thoughts come to mind?  In with the new and out with the old?  New beginnings?  Opportunities to expand outward and move forward with new plans and ideas?  For some it represents a time to start over and do things “better”; for others it may just be the opportunity to reflect and be grateful for what has been accomplished in the past year.

Another year is upon us and it is time to look back at the previous year and see what we can learn from our experiences.  There is no such thing as bad experiences, as long as we learn from them.  Bring the knowledge forward and leave the pain in the past.  So what have we learned?  What worked?  What didn’t work?  What do we want to accomplish?

Many of us will be setting goals in this New Year.  Let me ask you, did you reach your goal last year?  Maybe you’re still working on it?  Do you find yourself falling back into old behavior patterns and habits?  Maybe it’s time to involve a better approach — an approach that’s powerful, scientifically proven and involves tapping into the most powerful part of your mind — an approach that Newsweek, Time and American Health magazines call “one of the most powerful therapeutic modalities for change and the quickest approach in helping people reach their goals.”  It has also been called the “Wonder drug of the new millennium,” all natural of course.  What is this powerful new approach?  Hypnotherapy.

As the New Year is upon us, many of us will inspiringly set some goals, often involving getting in shape and improving our health.  We allow ourselves to balloon up through the holidays and then on January 1st, we are hitting the treadmill, gym or pavement.  This sharp increase in activity level will eventually force a fair amount of people to stop exercising due to tendonitis, fascitis or stress fractures.

When people think about taking care of their skin in order to retain a more vibrant appearance, they often over-look one area where aging is most prominent: their hands.  Unfortunately, short of wearing gloves your whole life, there is little that can be done to prevent damage to the skin on your hands.  But that does not mean we have to resign ourselves to having hands that age us prematurely.
