Five Healthful Brain Exercises

Doctors repeatedly counsel that we should be greatly concerned about maintaining muscle mass and building aerobic (heart and lung) health as we age.

But just as important, many say, is to work on the health of our brains. As Americans live longer and longer in this, the 21st century, the threat of contracting Alzheimer's disease or some other form of dementia is growing. This threat can be reduced, medical observers say, by practicing the following five exercises. (Read more about Five Healthful Brain Exercises)

Virtual Reality Room to Treat Psychological Disorders

A $6 million virtual reality "immersive room" that's been constructed in a cyberpsychology lab in Canada will be used to treat patients with everything from air-travel phobias to gambling addictions to eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The innovative, high-tech psychotherapeutic tool is presided over by Stéphane Bouchard, who holds the Canada Research Chair in Clinical Cyberpsychology and is co-founder of the cyberpsychology lab at the Université du Québec en Outaouais in Gatineau, Quebec. Bouchard's virtual reality room is the only one of the 10 in the world devoted exclusively to clinical psychology. (Read more about Virtual Reality Room to Treat Psychological Disorders)

Sleep Disorders

Frank Guglielmelli was so sleep deprived he was falling asleep at the wheel. Cars would be honking, and away I would go. That's kind of scary and then I realized there's a problem, says frank.

53 year old Frank says he felt as though he was living life in a fog, struggling to get through the day, barely able to keep his eyes opened. After visiting his doctor, he was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Frank says he had no clue that he had a sleep disorder. He attributed his decreased energy level and fatigue to weight gain and just a part of getting older.

“People can have sleep disorders that they really aren’t aware that they have. The biggest problem is that most people are not getting enough sleep. And, there has been recently some studies that say the average American is getting about 6 ½ hours a sleep per night which is definitely below the recommended limit,” says Dr. Ilene Rosen of the Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania, Division of Sleep Medicine.

Sinuplasty

Sinusitis sufferer, Norman Wiesenfeld, says that living with chronic sinus pain stole every ounce of his energy. “I was trying to go to sleep and had coughing attacks every night and I couldn’t sleep.”

Having no success with a multitude of different over-the-counter medications and other prescription drugs, Norman opted for sinuplasty, a revolutionary treatment for sinusitis.
“It is different than traditional endoscopic sinus surgery that we have been using for the past fifteen or twenty years, this is non invasive and we use it as a catheter similar to the catheter that we use for patients to open up clogged arteries in their heart, we are going to use it to open up clogged sinuses, so we open up those passageways with a balloon that we inflate under anesthesia,” explains Dr. B. Todd Schaeffer of North Shore University Hospital. (Read more about Sinuplasty)

Ambien Follow Up

Last week we heard the reports surrounding the dangers of the sleep medicine ambien—that it caused those taking the drug to sleep walk and sleep eat.

But was all the hubub much ado about nothing?

That’s what many experts are saying, along with the pharma that makes the medicine.

You’d think that there has been an explosion of sleep walkers and sleep eaters from the sleeping pill Ambien. (Read more about Ambien Follow Up)

TEEN SLEEP CYCLE

There’s a good chance that if you have a teenager, it’s not the easiest thing in the world to get him or her to wake up in the morning and get to school on time.
And believe it or not, they’re not to blame.
We adults are a large part of the reason.

Understand that teens’ brains and bodies don’t operate the same way as adults’ brains and bodies. Yet we’re forcing our kids to live our schedule, which doesn’t fit their natural biology. And as a result, we are making a society of sleep deprived, cranky and underperforming teens. (Read more about TEEN SLEEP CYCLE)

AIDS STRAIN CONCERN

Concern about the case of the highly resistant aids strain has not abated. In fact, there are growing numbers of reports around the country that this might not be the only case.
Still, there are many questions and unresolved issues.
The first case in New York is of a man, whose identity is being withheld, is in his mid-40s and admitted to taking part in unprotected anal intercourse with multiple…literally hundreds of sex partners, often times while high on crystal methamphetamine. The case progressed rapidly, which is what particularly concerns New York health officials (Read more about AIDS STRAIN CONCERN)

The finding could help the large percentage, nearly fifty percent of MS patients, who suffer from cognitive problems. (Read more about M.S. AND ALZHEIMER’S DRUG)
