Medical tests are important tools, but they have limits. Some people think that the more tests they have, the better off they’ll be. Wise consumers know medical tests have costs and risks as well as benefits. To help your doctor make good choices about tests for you, you need to:

Learn the basics.

• What is the name of the test and why do I need it?

• If the test is positive, what will the doctor do differently?

• What could happen if I don’t have the test?

Consider the risks and benefits.

• How accurate is the test? How often does it indicate a problem exists when there is none (false positive)? How often does it say there is no problem when there is one (false negative)?

• Is the test painful? What can go wrong?

How will I feel afterward? Are there less risky alternatives? Continue reading ‘Shared Decisions About Medical Tests’ »

Teens and their eating habits are often questionable; since there is a significant problem with obesity in the United States today, many parents are looking for methods that will encourage their teens to make healthier food
choices. Teenagers need proper nutrition to sustain them during puberty and growth spurts. Nutrition for teenagers is easily neglected because of peer pressure and active lifestyles, often resulting in unhealthy weights and poor immune systems. Also, since most teenagers now choose their own food, they may not be getting enough nutrients from regular meals.

There are lots of the right kinds of food that taste good and will satisfy your craving for something sweet or salty. You’re probably on the right track if you haven’t heard it called junk food
. In the mood for something sweet? Skip the cake, donuts, or cookies and open a container of yogurt, or have some trail mix. If you love ice cream, try ice milk or gelato. Both have less sugar, fewer calories and are nutritionally sound. If you want salty, forget the chips, or butter dripping popcorn.

Enjoy Old Age

The world that surrounds us is very beautiful. It is a manifesting of the “out blinking” of Divine Blueprints contained within the Quantum Ocean, Mind of God.

All beauty is also within our consciousness because we too are Divine Blueprints of the Quantum Ocean, Mind of God. Down through the Ages we have added erroneous energies to our Divine Blueprint. We have through our ignorance, dirtied them. This is what manifests as old age and disease.

We would not be able to see beauty outside of us if we did not have beauty within us. We are just one part of life and inseparably bound to it. We can learn something from every tree, flower, rock and mineral if we would but learn how to look. Continue reading ‘Quantum Physics and Old Age’ »

He believes that lack of sleep robs people of the energy they need to exercise and sets up a vicious low-energy cycle that sabotages your weight loss programme. Often when energy reserves are low, people turn to high-fat and high-sugar laden foods or caffeinated drinks for energy pick-me-ups…all of which interfere with weight loss efforts. Some may drink 10 to 15 caffeinated beverages a day, which has a adverse effect on sleep quality. It’s a double whammy. Continue reading ‘Sleep Can Help You Lose Weight!’ »
