Oxygen is a great source of energy for every cell in our body and without it we couldn't live more than a few minutes without irreparable damage. Oxygen serves as a major fuel to the brain; it displaces deadly free radicals, neutralizes environmental toxins and destroys anaerobic bacteria, parasites, microbes and viruses. It also enhances our memory, cognitive processing and aids in the body’s absorption of vital nutrients, amino acids and proteins. Understanding this helps us realize the importance of oxygen to the brain, how it affects our overall health and aging process …

How can I manage the "stress" in my life? Isn’t stress just part of all of our lives? Don’t we all just have to endure it as best we can?! I have observed that most people have the perception that stress comes from outside our bodies, intent on ruining our day. We deal with the work schedule, the pressures of finances, angry drivers on the freeway, and so forth. The mindset appears to be a general resignation to the fact that we have no control over this external stress at all. The key word here is our mindset …

With summer over and school back in session, schedules can become more demanding as responsibilities increase. For some it’s an expanded work week and for others, the addition of children’s sports practices and games, homework assistance, lunches to be made and more clothes to wash, make it more challenging to balance it all. Over the years I’ve observed from my practice how important it is to maintain emotional balance to be able to deal with these demands; and how focusing on the mind-body connection is just the link to doing that …

What causes lapses in memory? What causes mental fatigue? Why do you feel like working, studying and being productive during some days while others you feel mentally fatigued and listless? Throughout each day, we experience many changes in our mind. Our emotions may run the gamut, from feeling productive to fatigued; from happy-go-lucky to feeling being mildly depressed. Mental fatigue can bring about feelings of stress, depression, insomnia and low self-esteem. These negative feelings may develop over a few hours or as quickly as in a few minutes. Resolving the negative feelings for many can take days and sometimes weeks …

Your head is pounding, your vision is blurred. The lights are suddenly turned up so bright you feel like you are in a spotlight. And why does someone have the volume turned on high? All you can do is to find a quiet place to lay down. You know that no matter who needs you, what deadlines you have, and where you are supposed to be, you won't be there until tomorrow. Oh well, everyone will have to understand, there is nothing you can do about it… it’s another migraine …

Stress is a constant companion in every aspect of our lives. We can’t avoid it; instead we learn to adapt to it. Recent research however has shown us that stress is directly related to emotional problems and that emotional problems are closely linked to physical manifestations.

Stress has been found to be among the roots of several physical conditions such as insomnia, gastrointestinal and psychological issues to addictions and weight control challenges …
