yoga exercise benefits
Many exercise forms - aerobic, yoga, weights, walking and more - have been shown to benefit mood.
diagnosis physicians patient
More than one skillful physician has said that if one asks the right questions, the patient will make the diagnosis for you in his or her own words.
greed force humans
Fear and greed are potent motivators. When both of these forces push in the same direction, virtually no human being can resist.
world alternatives problem
Alternative models are neither right nor wrong, just more or less useful in allowing us to operate in the world and discover more and better options for solving problems.
technology thinking two
I think integrative medicine, something I've pioneered, is the way of the future. Its great promise is that it can reduce healthcare costs by shifting the whole focus of healthcare away from disease management to health promotion and prevention. They can do that two ways: first, by focusing attention on lifestyle medicine, which is very deficient. And second, by bringing into the mainstream treatments that are lower cost because they are not dependent on expensive technology.
spiritual long discipline
Meditation while walking has a long, noble history in ancient spiritual disciplines.

We're all affected by music. It has the power to inspire, uplift us, change our moods, and even alter consciousness.

resilience balance demand
Health is wholeness and balance, an inner resilience that allows you to meet the demands of living without being overwhelmed.

stress yoga simple
I think it's worth trying to do something about obvious sources of stress in your life. But even more important is learning and practicing methods to neutralize the harmful effects of stress on the body and mind. There are many possibilities, anything from meditation and yoga to listening to relaxing music. My personal favorite is simple breathing techniques - they're very effective, take very little time, and they're free.
running thinking challenges
Fitting a walk into a busy life can be challenging, so I suggest walking rather driving to work or to run errands as often as you can - in other words, think of walking as alternative transportation.
real kids healthy
It does kids no favors, and sets them up for a potential lifetime of poor health and social embarrassment, to excuse them from family meals of real food. Everyone benefits from healthy eating, but it is particularly crucial at the beginning of life.
mean healing doctors
As any doctor can tell you, the most crucial step toward healing is having the right diagnosis. If the disease is precisely identified, a good resolution is far more likely. Conversely, a bad diagnosis usually means a bad outcome, no matter how skilled the physician.
