Dr. Weil's Weekend Tips, January 22, 2011

Breathing slowly and consciously is the most effective way to combat stress, enter deep states of relaxation and awareness leading directly to spontaneous states of meditation, and to remain healthy and combat the onset of disease.

Simple breathing techniques offer a drug-free way to help lower your blood pressure, calm a racing heart or settle an upset digestive system. Proper breathing has direct influence on emotional states and moods. When you're upset, you breathe rapidly, shallowly and irregularly, but you can't be upset if your breathing is slow, deep, quiet and regular. At first, the effects are subtle, but they will gain

power the more you repeat them. Whether you want to address health problems or just relax and reduce stress, make this the year to learn and practice the most recommended breathing techniques.

Food & Nutrition: 'Healthful Resolutions: Adopting the Anti-Inflammatory Diet' 

Dr. Weil's Weekend Tip, January 30, 2011

Chronic inflammation has been identified as factor in the development of fatal degenerative diseases and Alzheimer's. Because diet is a major contributor to chronic inflammation, adopting a healthful diet can help prevent and counteract the risks associated with inflammation. For more, read below.

The anti-inflammatory diet isn't a weight-loss program (although you can lose weight on it) or a temporary eating plan. It is intended to counteract chronic inflammation, now known to play a central role in the development of heart disease, many cancers and Alzheimer's disease. Poor diet is perhaps the main contributor to chronic inflammation. The anti-inflammatory diet can help you correct

that: it points the way to food choices that can help you remain optimally healthy. Use my Anti- Inflammatory Food Pyramid - print it out and post it on the fridge. Along with influencing inflammation, the diet will give you steady energy and provide all the vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and dietary fiber you need.
