SPOTLIGHT ON A NATURAL REMEDY
strengthen your hair
and nails
Tissue salts (very diluted
amounts of minerals) are a fantastic way to support areas in your body.
Silica is excellent if you or your children have cracked skin, dull hair
or chipping nails (common in kids that are veggie-phobs). They can
be chewed and are readily accepted by most children.
prunus serotina to stop
coughing

suppressant for your child so he or she can sleep at night. Ask your
local health food shop for a kids remedy that contains prunus serotina
(wild cherry bark).

Pseudoephedrine no
longer banned
The International Olympic
Committee has removed the ban on over-the-counter remedies containing
pseudoephedrine and place it on the monitoring programme. A UK study
has found that the drug's effect in fact slows the times of runners.
more than just an
issue of psychology - anorexia
New research out of the
University of NSW has found via brain scans that those who experience
anorexia shut down part of their brain when viewing themselves (but not
others), which distorts their perception of themselves.
"They not only feel they are fat, they actually seem to see that they are
fat, so it's a real illusion," Dr Naresh Mondraty, from the
University of New South Wales said. This may now widen the potential
factors from psychological to neurological. For many of us this
makes perfect sense, who hasn't caught a reflection of themselves and
thought you could do with losing a few pounds. No matter what
others tell you your own perception holds fast. Now this new finding
sheds light on the strength of our neural connections over our behaviour.

Omega-3 fatty acids and bipolar disorder
Those omega-3 fatty acids
just keep finding favour. Early studies show some promising benefits
of omega-3's in preventing and even treating depression including bipolar
disorder. A diet rich in omega-3's may help to lower your risk of
depression. Bipolar disorder, which has a strong genetic component,
is characterised by extreme highs and lows in mood. While the
results are still a little tentative and more research is needed,
omega-3's continue to show strong benefits for neurological health. http://www.abc.net.au/health/minutes/stories/s1749366.htm
refine your hydration
techniques
Many athletes use their
pre-event body weight as a reference for fluid loss after an event.
It is important to refine this further and use a baseline measurement at
the beginning of the day and then compare it to your body weight after a
session in order to assess fluid loss.

vitamin d deficiency
in children
Some research recently has
suggested that vitamin D deficiency in children may be on the increase,
this may be particularly prevalent in dark skinned children and those who
are covered (either for religious reasons or sun-protection). Eighty
percent of our vitamin D in Australia and New Zealand is gained via skin
exposure. On the down side sun exposure causes over 90% of non-melanoma
skin cancers in Australia (Munns et al. 2006). The acceptable amount of
sun exposure to gain adequate vitamin D in childhood is not yet known.
Agencies in Australia recommend small amounts of sun exposure before 10am
and after 4pm may provide ‘healthy’ amounts of vitamin D. Children with
increased skin pigmentation may require up to six times more sun exposure
to gain adequate levels (Munns et al., 2006). This has been a strong
argument for the fortification of milk and other foods with vitamin D.
scurvy not an illness of the
past
Recent
studies have highlighted one of the many issues with restricting food
choices. It seems scurvy can occur in people who seem to be
well-nourished due to such dietary practices.

xenical may not be the answer for everyone
The Australian Medical
Association (AMA) is upset that Xenical (a weight loss drug) is being
advertised during programs that are highly viewed by young women such as
Australian Idol. Of course this is the aim of marketing, to target
who you believe is your major audience. However the AMA says "the
commercial is misleading and will encourage young women who are concerned
about their weight, but not obese, to take the drug". It should be
kept in mind that while Xenical prevents the body form absorbing fat that
this is not necessarily a healthy or long-term answer to weight issues.
Its what you put in your mouth and why that matters.
