Air out bedding and clothing. 5. Open the windows at night, even in the winter. (Close the bedroom door to conserve heat in the house). Life Giving Air (May 5, 2008 at 2:07 PM) - Throughout most of recorded history, it seems that people have taken fresh air for granted. However, with the advent of the industrial revolution, followed by current concerns for indoor and outdoor air pollution, fresh air has become a more valued commodity. Air is an important preventive & natural healing agent. Life in the open air is God’s medicine for the restoration of life Is Chocolate good for you? (May 5, 2008 at 7:59 AM) - Its on everybody's lips these days. Didn't you know that Coffee and chocolate and wine are now good for you? Given the right slant to the research, it is possible to focus on certain aspects of these substances that appear to benefit the consumer.

Even the most disabled can profit by exercising whatever is left. 22 Benefits of Exercise (Apr 22, 2008 at 11:59 AM) - Inactivity is a fruitful cause of disease. Exercise quickens and equalizes the circulation of the blood, but in idleness the blood does not circulate freely, and the changes in it, so necessary to life and health, do not take place. Exercise (part 2) (Apr 22, 2008 at 11:45 AM) - The following are recommendations for the minimal amount of exercise required for producing the benefits described in part one. Aerobic activity: 3 to 5 times per week 20 to 60 minutes per session Resistance training: 2 times per week 8 to 12 reps per exercise 8 to 10 exercises, including all muscle groups Stretching: 3 to 5 times per week Exercise (part 1) (Apr 22, 2008 at 11:30 AM) - When you read about the health benefits of physical activity, it almost sounds like an ad for snake oil. “When used according to directions, this product can help you loose weight, age more slowly, reduce stress and tension and sleep better; it tones muscles, strengthens joints and bones, and prevents artery disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.” Sounds too good to be true. Do all exercise programs really deliver all of these benefits? Russian Steam Bath (Apr 21, 2008 at 11:49 AM) - The Russian steam has many effects: first it increases body temperature, and metabolism. It also increases the pulse rate, blood pressure, and leukocytosis. Large amounts of water should be taken before a treatment because the treatment will induce profuse sweating. It will also cause peripheral vasodilation. Ice Pack (Apr 21, 2008 at 10:50 AM) - The application of cold will prevent much swelling and will lessen black and blue discoloration, which is due to rupturing of the blood vessels. The ice pack will cause a contraction of the blood vessels slowing down the oozing of blood into the injured tissues. It also relieves pain.
