Most of our daily life falls under one of these two categories. For us adults, the majority of time is usually spent focused on work with far too little time allowed for play. What passes for play for most adults is more likely to be escape activities-- distraction from the responsibilities of work. Many people turn to the entertainment industry instead of engaging in the joyful, creative, spontaneous play that is vital to our wellbeing.     View more Simply Well - "Watch Your Words" - John W. Travis, MD, MPH It is true that your words create your world. As you look around your surroundings, you are talking to yourself about everything you see. Your language structures your reality. In "Watch Your Words" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., documents self-programming that heals - based on research in the field of psychoneuroimmunology that verifies that thoughts and emotions directly affect the strength of the immune system.      View more 101 Exercises for the Soul - "Give Compliments: Say Something Nice" - Dr. Bernie Siegel If you want to lift people off the ground - compliment them. Compliments are the helium that fills everyone's balloon; they elevate the person receiving them so he or she can fly over life's troubles and land safely on the other side, to be received with open arms.      View more ADVERTISEMENT - MIND POWER RX Mind Power Rx - Optimal Mind Support Developed by Ray Sahelian, M.D., bestselling author of Mind Boosters: Natural Supplements that Enhance Your Mind, Memory, and Mood, Mind Power Rx helps improve mental alertness and wakefulness along with boosting mental stamina.

NATURAL ALTERNATIVES "Beat Sugar Addiction NOW!" - From Fatigued to Fantastic - Jacob Teitelbaum, MD The average American has 140 to 150 pounds of sugar per person of sugar added to their diets each year. Another 18 percent of our calories come from white flour (which acts a lot like sugar in our bodies). Eating almost twice our weight in sugar and white flour each year, it's not surprising that we have become a nation of sugar addicts.      View more Healthy Living with Natural Medicine - "Do You Have a Toxic Workplace?" - Holly Lucille, N.D., R.D. I am not talking about the "toxic workplace" often reported when a work environment is full of backstabbing, gossiping co-workers, a controlling boss or demanding clients. I am talking about toxic substances in your workplace that might be making you physically sick. Depending on where you work, your exposure to toxic substances could be intensified, contributing significantly to your health issues.      View more Integrator Blog - "Columnist Taylor Walsh Reports on Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) in Oncology Summite" The advancing comparative effectiveness research (CER) agenda of the Obama era has been linked to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) since the IOM weighed in on the topic in June 2009. The health reform law specifically included integrative practices and practitioners in CER planning and an integrative care researcher was appointed to panel leading what will be a multi-billion dollar national initiative. Most recently, the NIH NCCAM cites CER interest as a prime mover toward "real world research." The Integrator has followed the evolving story, in part through the fine reporting Beltway-based reporter Taylor Walsh.      View more "The Integrator Blog" offers News, Reports, Opinions and Networking for the Business, Education, Policy and Practice of Integrative Medicine, CAM and Integrative Health Care, from Publisher/Editor John Weeks.

Since it has not been above freezing here since New Years, I was drawn toward a steaming pot of soup. Cannellini beans are delicately flavored white kidney beans that partner well with roasted vegetables. With leftover roasted Brussels sprouts and canned beans, this soup goes together quickly. Caramelizing onions and carrots makes them fit right in with the roasted Brussels sprouts. If you have leftover roasted sweet potatoes, you can cut them julienne and add them to the soup along with the Brussels sprouts in place of the carrots for that bright orange color. Miso enhances the savory taste or umami in the soup.     View More "The Hidden Link Between Stress, Aging and Caffeine" - The Cancer Project It's the common complaint you hear uttered by friends, family and co-workers throughout the day.

Most people assume that age causes diminished energy supply, but the latest research is shedding new light on lifestyle practices that ultimately lead to fatigue.      View More MIND-BODY-SPIRIT Ask Dr. Orloff About Intuitive Healing - "Positive Energy: The Fifth Prescription" It's important to learn how to read sexual energy in the world. In our busy lives we get hit by so much, so fast. Sexual vibes are a major part of that assault (especially relevant if you're an overwhelmed empath). Many of us don't realize we're exposed to them everywhere, are clueless about what we ourselves give off.      View more Mind-Body Health - "Doctors and Patients: Not on the Same Wavelength" - David Sobel, MD If you are like the majority of patients, several weeks after a health evaluation you will probably remember less than half of what the doctor told you. In "Doctors and Patients: Not on the Same Wavelength" David S. Sobel, M.D. presents the reasons for this "disconnect" and key points for improvement.      View more ADVERTISEMENT - WELLNESS INVENTORY PROGRAM A Holistic Approach to Employee Wellness & Performance Are you ready to focus on creating wellness rather than focusing on disease and risk management?
