• Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption. The Anxiety and Depression Association of

America notes that alcohol and caffeine can aggravate anxiety and trigger panic attacks.

• Rely on a support network. Many people simply need to talk to someone after a stressful day, which can feel like a weight has been lifted off their shoulders. Let your support network (coworkers, family and friends) know you’re there for them when they experience stress as well.

• Get daily exercise. When the body is physically active, the brain secretes endorphins, which are neurotransmitters that make you feel good.

• Eat a healthy diet. Diet also can affect how your body handles stress. Certain foods can tame stress, such as oatmeal - which boosts levels of a calming chemical known as serotonin in your brain.

Healthy WaysSTRESSto handle

Stress affects people of all ages. The symptoms of stress can be

extremely unpleasant, as participants in a study released earlier this year by the Statistic Brain Research Institute and the American Institute of Stress reported experiencing physical symptoms of stress admitted to feeling fatigue, headache, upset stomach, and even muscle tension.

Among those who reported feeling physical symptoms of stress, 77 percent admitted to feeling those symptoms regularly, citing job pressure and money as the primary causes of their stress. How men and women handle stress can impact both their immediate and long-term health, as stress has been linked to a host of problems and ailments. Many people cope with stress in unhealthy ways, which may only exacerbate the

Diabetes is a disorder in which the body

cannot properly store and use the energy found in food. To be more specific, diabetes compromises the body’s ability to use glucose.

Diabetes treatment can include a combination of strategies, including the following non-drug remedies.

• Diet: Diabetics can work with their doctors and nutritionists to come up with a diet that will be most effective.

Work with a professional to create a healthy diet and follow it as closely as possible. Eat meals at the same time each day so you can better regulate blood-sugar spikes and lulls.

• Exercise: Many people with type 2 diabetes are carrying around extra weight. Exercise can help them shed pounds and maintain healthier weights.

But exercise does more than just help you lose weight. By maintaining lean muscle mass, you can get rid of a larger amount of glucose in the bloodstream, thus helping manage diabetes in the process. Get at least 20 to 30 minutes of moderate activity several days per week.

• Supplementation: Some people find that certain natural ingredients can help regulate blood-sugar levels. For example, pure, organic apple cider vinegar taken over time can help people with diabetes manage their blood-sugar levels more effectively.

A small amount of cinnamon per day may be able to reduce fasting glucose levels by anywhere from 18 to 29 percent, according to a study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Always speak with a doctor before trying any home remedies to treat diabetes or exploring any alternatives to traditional diabetes treatments.

According to the National Cancer Institute, an estimated 1,658,370

new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2015. The NCI also estimates that more than 589,000 people will die from cancer in the United States in 2015.

However, in the “Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer,” issued jointly by the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, the American Cancer Society, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Cancer Institute and published in March 2015, showed that the overall cancer death rate in the United States has declined since the early 1990s.

Between 2002 and 2011, cancer death rates

decreased by 1.8 percent per year among men and by 1.4 percent per year among women. Children fared even better, with cancer death rates declining by 2.1 percent per year among children ages 0 to 14 and 2.3 percent per year among children ages 0 to 19.

While cancer research continues to discover new treatments and ways people can reduce their risk of developing cancer, the World Health Organization predicts the number of new cases of cancer will rise to 22 million in the next two decades. Many of those cases figure to be in Africa, Asia and Central and South America, where 60 percent of the world’s total new annual cases occur. These regions also account for 70 percent of the world’s cancer deaths, according to the WHO.

Seasonal Allergy TriggersAllergic reactions occur when the

body’s immune system attacks an often harmless substance like animal dander, food or pollen. Medication can help reduce the severity of such reactions, but some allergy sufferers find allergic reactions inconvenient nuisances even with medication.Understanding what triggers allergic reactions may help some people avoid them or make them easier to handle. The following are some of the more common allergy triggers and how men and women suffering from allergies can avoid them. • Pollen: Pollen is perhaps the best-

known allergy trigger. A fine, often yellow substance that’s essential to the fertilization of flowers, pollen can be spread by wind, insects or other animals. Allergy sufferers can combat high pollen counts by staying indoors on windy days and closing their windows and running their air conditioners.

• Pet Dander: Dander are flakes of skin in an animal’s fur or hair. Because of their microscopic size, these flakes of skin can easily attach and remain attached to

bedding, fabrics and furniture. Many people keep their pets even if they develop allergies to dander. Should such a situation arise, do not allow your pet into your bedroom, bathe the animal regularly and remove carpeting in favor of bare floors or washable rugs.• Mold: Mold is a furry growth of minute fungal hyphae that is often found in damp parts of a home, such as basements and bathrooms. Mold also can be found in grass and mulch, triggering allergic reactions when men and women spend time in their yards. To avoid an allergic reaction triggered by mold, make sure moist areas of your home get fresh air regularly and routinely clean ceilings or other areas where mold may grow.• Dust Mites: Tiny bugs that live in bedding, carpets, curtains, upholstery, and mattresses, dust mites feed on dead skin cells from people and pets. Dust mites also may feed on bacteria, fungi and pollen. Dust mites thrive in humid conditions, but these pests can be combatted with hypoallergenic pillows and mattress covers. Removing materials that collect dust, such as carpet, also can reduce the number of dust mites.

Seasonal allergies affect millions of people. But such sufferers can combat their seasonal allergies by taking several proactive approaches to eliminate allergens before reactions occur.


Include Good Fats & Carbs in a

Healthy Eating PlanCome the end of the holiday season,

many people resolve to rest, recharge and get back to healthy eating habits.

Time magazine reports that losing weight and getting fit are the most popular New Year’s resolutions, but also the ones that people are most likely to abandon after a short time. That may be because New

Year’s dieters are too often choosing diets that are impractical and not conducive to long-term success. Some may stop eating certain foods or ingredients entirely, while others look to diets that require a level of commitment beyond busy adults’ capabilities.

Many fad diets target fat and carbohydrates, but dieters may not know that fat and carbs are necessary for a healthy metabolism. According to Dr. Walter Willett of the Harvard School of Public Health, low-fat diets don’t work for many people. In fact, dozens of studies have found that low-fat diets are no more healthy than moderate- or high-fat diets and may, in fact, be worse. Foods that are low in fat may be full of ingredients that can be detrimental when eaten in high amounts. Processed low-fat foods can be made to taste better with copious amounts of salt or sugar. Some low-fat foods are actually high in simple carbohydrates, which can cause spikes in blood sugar and increase bad fats called triglycerides in the blood.

Simple carbohydrates are generally those that

break down fast and do not provide much value beyond the initial energy burst. Although some simple carbs, such as fructose and lactose, can be beneficial and are generally found in healthy foods, it’s best to avoid simple carbs.

Eating healthy doesn’t mean avoiding carbohydrates and fats altogether. The key is to find good fats and carbs that provide a host of benefits. Good fats, such as monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, and omega-3 fatty acids, help to manage mood, maintain mental acuity, fight fatigue, and control weight. Good fats are largely found in olives, nuts, legumes, soy, and fatty fish. Keep total fat intake to 20 to 30 percent of your calories.

Good carbs are complex carbohydrates. They’re starches that take a longer time to metabolize in your digestive system. Good carbs will raise blood sugar, but they will keep it at a stable level for an extended period of time. Complex carbs usually contain a lot of fiber, which can help keep a person feeling full for long periods of time. Plus, they help keep digestion moving smoothly to help you avoid constipation. Fibrous vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and beans are high in fiber and are good carbohydrate choices. Some foods contain both good carbs and good fats.

Eating healthy means finding a balance that includes the right fats and carbohydrates.


Eyes on Health:What Your Eyes Can Tell Doctors

People who have been putting off eye examinations may want to call

their opthalmologists to schedule an appointment. That’s because vision checkups can do more than protect your eyes. By examining the eyes, doctors may have a window into health problems affecting other areas of the body.

Researchers recently discovered a link between detected retinal amyloid plaques and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. While evidence was found in lab mice, autopsies of at least eight Alzheimer’s disease patients have also shown amyloid plaques, which are known to interfere with memory and other mental functions, present in the retinas. Doctors at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, Calif., are gearing up for larger studies of humans to determine if an Alzheimer’s imaging technique can be perfected.

Dementia is not the only thing that doctors may be able to detect through an eye exam. Jaundice in the whites of the eyes may indicate liver disease, and early warning signs of diabetes may be detectable in the eyes. The American Academy of Opthalmology says the eye is the only place where doctors can see veins, arteries and a nerve without surgery, and eye examinations are increasingly being relied on to gauge overall health.

The following are a few additional conditions that may be detected through the eyes.

• Allergies: Patients may be referred to an allergy specialist if they exhibit dark under-eye circles. While this can be a sign of aging, dark circles, sometimes referred to as “allergic shiners,” also may indicate certain allergies. When clogged sinuses cause a blockage of blood flow in the nasal passages around the eye, darkness

may result. This symptom in conjunction with persistent nasal congestion could be a sure sign of allergies.

• High cholesterol: The presence of bumpy, yellowish patches on the eyelid, known as xanthelasma palpebra, is a warning sign of high cholesterol, which is often initially diagnosed during a routine eye exam.

• Cancer: Some cancer metastases can be detected during an eye exam. The presence of a bump or brown spot on the eyelid also may be indicative of skin cancer. Many malignant eyelid tumors are basal-cell carcinoma. If the spot is brown, it’s more likely to be malignant melanoma.

• Thyroid issues: When the outer one-third of the brow (the part closest to the ear) begins to disappear on its own, this is a common sign of thyroid disease. The thyroid helps regulate metabolism, and thyroid hormones are essential to hair production. Hair loss may occur elsewhere, but is much more visible in the brows.

• Clogged arteries: Blockages in the smaller veins in the retina may indicate clogs caused by arterial plaque. This will show up as a retinal occlusion in a visual exam. If blood vessels in the eyes are blocked, clogged arteries may be present elsewhere in the body, so a cardiology workup may be ordered.

• Bell’s palsy: The inability to close one eye or to control tear production in that eye may be a sign of Bell’s palsy. This is a condition of the nervous system that controls facial muscles, causing temporary paralysis in one side of the face. Sometimes Bell’s palsy follows a viral or bacterial infection.

According to the National Institutes of Health, sun-protective clothing

can protect adults and children from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, exposure to which can cause skin cancer.

Sun-protective clothing is typically made with fabrics designed to absorb or reflect ultraviolet, or UV, radiation. Much like

sunscreen is rated for its sun-protection factor, or SPF, sun-protective clothing is given an ultraviolet protection factor, or UPF. UPF even provides a broader spectrum of protection than

SPF, protecting from both ultraviolet A and B radiation, whereas SPF protects largely against ultraviolet B.

Clothing with a UPF rating of 40 or greater provides excellent protection, blocking nearly 98 percent of UV radiation.

Doctors recommend that people who are at greater risk of skin cancer, such as those with blue eyes, fair skin, a large number of moles, and red hair, wear sun-protective clothing when exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time.

According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, gluten is the general

name for proteins found in wheat, rye, barley and triticale. That’s an important thing for party hosts to know, as many people now follow gluten-free diets. When planning party menus, hosts should ask guests if they adhere to gluten-free diets, as consuming gluten

can trigger an abnormal immune system response in people who have Celiac disease,

potentially causing damage to the small intestine. Wheat is commonly found in bread, baked goods, pasta, and cereals, among other foods. Barley is present in food coloring, soups, malt vinegar, and beer. Rye is found in rye bread, certain beers and cereals, while triticale may be present in certain breads, pastas and cereals. If guests have gluten allergies or are suffering from Celiac disease, look for foods that are designated as gluten-free. Many grocers now offer numerous gluten-free products to cater to the growing number of individuals

Many people desire to be healthier, and sales of nutritional

supplements reflect such desires. A report by Packaged Facts titled “Nutritional Supplements in the U.S,” says supplement sales reached $11.5 billion in 2012 and have been climbing ever since. In addition, gym memberships also have increased.

Individuals also can turn to many health boosters in their own homes to help them achieve their goals of living healthier lifestyles.

• Lemon water: Lemon water can help reduce acidity in the body, including removing uric acid, a main cause of inflammation. Lemons contain pectin fiber, which can aid in weight loss by helping to fight hunger pangs. Lemons also contain vitamin C.

• Yogurt: Probiotic pills can help return healthy bacteria to the digestive system, but so can eating yogurt regularly. Look for yogurts that contain live and active cultures for optimal

health benefits.

• Bicycle: Dust off that bicycle that has been hiding in your garage. Cycling is an excellent form of cardiovascular exercise, and riders can tailor their intensity levels to correlate to their ages and abilities.

• Fruits and vegetables: Produce offers many of the vitamins and minerals people look to supplements to provide. Including diverse fruit and vegetable choices in one’s diet can improve health in various ways, including providing a boost to the immune system.

• Honey: Honey is a valuable superfood that can boost overall health. In addition to soothing sore throats, it can serve as an antibiotic and wound healer, provide allergy protection, increase calcium absorption, and provide a source of energy without the insulin spike associated with other forms of sugar.

Being healthier is a goal for many people, and certain foods, beverages and products already in your home can help you get on a healthy track.
