Lack of Enough Sleep Results in Consumption of More Calories and Diet Imbalance

Published in the Huffington Post It turns out that when you fail to get enough sleep, you are likely to consume more calories the next day. The study was published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition by researchers from London King’s College, and it involved a comprehensive analysis of 11 different studies involving 172 participants. The purpose of the study was to compare how sleep deprivation, or the lack of it, affected calorie consumption over the next 24 hours. The rest deprived individuals in the study spent between three and a half hours and five hours in bed, while the control group spent between 7 and 12 hours in bed.

by Jonathan Galland Sure, you know that pesticides are harmful, lead paint is a no-no, and mold is bad news. But where else are toxins hiding in your everyday life? The short answer: everywhere. Chemicals and toxins can enter your body in a number of ways — through your food and drink and through your skin, eyes, and nose. While any one of these chemicals alone might not be a concern, it's the cumulative exposure to toxins that may cause long-term health problems over time.

Viva Naturals: Organic Jojoba Oil

“Viva Naturals: The Surprising Benefits of Viva Jojoba Oil for Beautiful Skin & Hair.” Did you know…? Jojoba oil is a liquid wax extracted from the nut of an indigenous American shrub that goes by the scientific name Simmondsia chinensis, a misnomer as the plant has nothing to do with China. The shrubby tree still grows wild in the United States, mainly in the arid regions of the Southwestern states. Why should people use Viva Jojoba Oil? Soaps and most other skin cleaning agents strip the skin of the sebum that skin glands produce to lubricate the skin and protect it from drying out. Every time we wash our face and hands, even with plain water, we’re removing a protective layer of sebum along with dust and grime. The...

Top 6 Yoga Poses To Help Eliminate Back Pain

by Good News Network Fifteen years ago, I was not acting my age. Since I would recoil from any form of exercise, as well as any green foods, I was overweight, inflexible … and debilitated by back pain. The 40 extra pounds on my frame — plus tight, shortened back muscles and weak abs — left me moving like an 80-year-old version of myself. I started reading up and realized a shocking number of people who suffer from back pain, partly from hours of sitting in a way that flattens the low back curve. (BTW, a Balance Ball Chair System, the very one I’m sitting on as I write this, is a great tool to help build core strength and re-align your spine.) Then, I found yoga. Over time,...

Here’s what he had to say: Stacey Chillemi: Did you have a particular health journey that led you to New Zealand and how did that journey shape your professional and personal life? David Noll:...
