My 12 Lovely Lyrics for You

Love like there’s no tomorrow.

Laugh out loud and often.

Listen to your soul.

Lighten up!

Lean on a friend - that’s what they live for.

Look for the good in all things and people.

Live the dream you thought of when you were a child.

Lose anger and resentment.

Linger after church.

Light candles at dinner.

Lend your smile… it’s so amazing.

Launch your ideas with unstoppable force.

Wishing you a Great 2008!

With gratitude,

Mary Wozny

To be truly healthy it is important to be good to yourself.

A life filled with quality in work, thoughts, companions and activities can strengthen your natural immunity to germs, viruses and negative hereditary influences.

As this year draws to a close and we all settle in to enjoy the holiday season with our loved ones, I want to extend my heartfelt wishes to you for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year.

I wish you new memories to build on old ones; good times and much happiness as you share this very special time with family, friends and loved ones.

I ask you to remember those who need that extra smile or hug at this time of the year, those who will spend the holidays alone, those in poor health or elderly, and especially near and dear to my heart, those women and children who spend this holiday in shelters, protected from those who would otherwise cause them harm.

Appreciate and be grateful for all the blessings in your life and enjoy each moment to the fullest.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

To Your Prosperity,

A therapeutic bath is a great way to unwind. Pour two cups of Epsom salt into a warm bath and soak for ten to fifteen minutes. This will create a magnesium soak that will warm you all over and help to draw out toxins through the skin.

Holding on to negative emotions, such as resentment, hostility, grievances and regrets can be toxic to your body. Let go of these negative emotions and experience an increase in energy and vitality.

Researchers paired 1,455 men and women diagnosed with colorectal cancer with an equal number of healthy control subjects matched for age, gender and region of residence. Total fatty acid, as well as saturated fatty acid, monounsaturated fatty acid, omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, trans-fatty acid, and trans-monounsaturated fatty acid intake were determined. Intake levels of individual fatty acids, such as eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA), were also calculated.

Greater intake of omega-3 fatty acids, EPA, and DHA were dose-dependently associated with reduced colorectal cancer risk. Compared to those with the lowest intake, participants whose omega-3 intake was in the highest group experienced a 37 percent lower risk of colorectal cancer. Subjects with intakes of EPA and DHA in the top fourth had a reduced risk of 41 and 37 percent, respectively.

The authors concluded that the observed effects of different types of fatty acids illustrates the importance of the type of fat in the origins and prevention of colorectal cancer.

The May 11 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association published the results of a meta-analysis of 12 clinical trials involving vitamin D supplementation in the prevention of fracture. The analysis concluded that supplementation with higher than the commonly recommended 400 international unit (IU) doses of vitamin D reduces the risk of hip and nonvertebral fractures in older individuals.

The vitamin D studies included a total of 19,114 men and women aged 60 and older. The trials used the form of the vitamin known as cholecalciferol, or vitamin D3, which, according to studies cited in the current review, may be much more effective than the dietary form of the vitamin.

The researchers found that doses of 700 to 800 IU of vitamin D3 per day reduced the risk of hip fracture by 26 percent and nonvertebral fracture by 23 percent. Studies that used 400 IU vitamin D3 or less found no significant benefit for either type of fracture. The role of additional calcium supplementation could not clearly be defined from the studies, but it appears that at least 700 milligrams calcium per day may also be necessary for nonvertebral fracture prevention.

 The November 16, 2007 issue of the journal Preventive Medicine reported an association between ultraviolet light exposure and a reduced risk of endometrial cancer. Two previous investigations have already linked a lower rate of kidney and ovarian cancer with greater UV exposure, which increases the formation of vitamin D3 in the body. Researchers analyzed data made available through GLOBOCAN, a database of cancer incidence and mortality in 175 countries. In general, the incidence of endometrial cancer was highest at the highest latitudes in both hemispheres. The correlation between low UV exposure and low vitamin D levels and endometrial cancer incidence remained strong even after adjusting for variables such as fat intake, weight, cloud cover, skin pigmentation and others. Most previous studies have focused on hormone levels and dietary fat intake and their role in the development of the disease. This is the first study linking low serum vitamin D levels to an increased risk of endometrial cancer. Along with other preventive measures, vitamin D adequacy should be considered as part of a comprehensive program for prevention of endometrial cancer. Prev Med 2007 Nov;45(5):323-4.
