Elderly Nutrition Program I was just reading an article in a supplement to my local newspaper about centenarians who are still working and loving it. I intend to be one of them, so I am looking harder and harder at my SAD or Standard American Diet, and eliminating processed foods slowly but surely. However, one of those centenarians, Attorney Jack Borden has a breakfast everyday of biscuits and gravy with ham or sausage. At 61, I exercise regularly and take care of the pillars of brain fitness, and I really need to tweak my nutrition. I am heavy, but at this stage of the game, I am more concerned with my immune system and making sure it gets the necessary phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, fiber, glyconutrients, ect. to communicate effectively. I would prefer not to fall prey to either an accute or a chronic illness at this stage of the game, so I am looking at juicing as a way to get good food in my body in a tasty and time efficient manner. I also want to make sure my kids ge

Drug Abuse Recovery Drug Abuse Recovery First the good news about drug abuse recovery. You can do it. There are any number of paths to chose from. You might wake up one morning and decide that enough is enough and quit, and I have heard people talk about that model many times over the years. There are any number of treatment facilities and models, and then there are the 12 step models of drug abuse recovery. There is the CBT4CBT model which involves computerized cognitive behavioral therapy. There are medical models, for example antabuse for alcoholism. There are biofeedback models, for example the Peniston Protocol for alpha-theta brainwave biofeedback, which is an excellent tool, by the way. You may involve yourself in a nutritional therapy, (ever heard of the CHIP program?) or with a naturopath or an acupuncturist or even a chiropractor. There are non-traditional spiritual paths utilizing shamanic techniques, the study of Chi Gong, or meditation, and I know of a local yoga

Emwave Personal Stress Does the emwave cause personal stress? The answer is no. The emwave is the brand name for a powerful biofeedback stress reliever, based on research on the heart s own sophisticated nervous system. I have been using the emwave technology personally and professionally since 2000, and if I lapse into calling the emwave Heartmath, which was its previous name, please know that I use the names interchangeably. I was doing EEG biofeedback in the late 90s and participating in a list serve for EEG brainwave biofeedback providers maintained by EEG Spectrum when I first heard of the Heartmath or emWave technology. Some of the EEG folks were raving about Heartmath and its impact on their clients, and since I am always searching for new tools for myself, I decided to check into it. I discovered that a hospital nearby, in St. Charles, Illinois was providing Heartmath trainings to the general public, and their entire staff had trained on the Heartmath. I was impressed t

Improving Your Memory Improving Your Memory Improving your memory has been provoking us to develop memory systems for a long time. There are hundreds of them, and the most recent improving your memory tools include technology designed to improve recently discovered capacities of the human brain called neurogenesis and neuroplasticity. A great example of the most recent technology is the Posit Science Brain Fitness Program, which has been demonstrated in the ACTIVE study to roll back memory loss 10 years. The recently published IMPACT study (April 2009) demonstrated similar results when the Posit Science system was used by 524 Senior Citizens, all over the age of 65. In fact, there is quite a bit of uproar in the marketplace about a new concept called brain fitness. The marketers, of course, are saying that we should all begin to work out our brains like we work out our biceps, because those brains grow new brain cells every day which, generally speaking, migrate to the hippocampus

Coping Strategies for Grief It is close to Christmas at our house, and last weekend my wife was at a family Thanksgiving dinner which we attend every year, when she said that she wanted to go by her brother s grave to visit, and so we did. Her brother has been gone for nine years now. Dean was killed in a construction accident, just before Thanksgiving, and my wife experiences some pain every year at the anniversary of his death. She was 34 when he died, and Dean was a young man too. As the days get shorter heading into the Winter Solstice, I find myself becoming a bit melancholy with the season, and remembering regrets and the number of days that have already passed in my life, as I am 60. Call it an informal life review. On the whole, I am very satisfied with my decisions and choices, but I have made my share of mistakes too. So I like to acknowledge the season with little rituals and prayers, like cleansing myself and my house with sweet grass, and simple appreciation for the

Marriage Coaching Marriage coaching is a growing service. If you are like me, and I was late in my 40 s when I met Julie, my wife, I still had a bit of starry-eyed naivete about marriage. We were a couple for several years before we married, and I thought I was really committed to her and our son, so I was surprised at what happened when we tied the knot. I felt a deeper commitment than when we were just cohabitating, and that has grown as I have come to recognize the ways she blesses my life, and the choices she forgoes to stay with me. That is a humbling experience. And even though I have that realization and the feeling of humility frequently, there are also moments of frustration around issues like money, sex, parenting, and follow through on promises made, and at those moments of frustration, I need to very effectively manage my thinking and feelings so that I do not turn the self-talk in my head to an accusation making her the persecutor and me the victim. When I do that in

Nutrition Counselors General Information: Nutrition Counselors advise and counsel on the nutritional value of food, caloric intake, and other food characteristics, while ensuring that nutritional requirements and health goals are met. Career Information: Nutrition Counselors (clinical dietitians) provide nutritional services for patients in institutions such as hospitals and nursing homes. They assess patients nutritional needs, develop and implement nutrition programs, and evaluate and report the results. They also confer with doctors and other health care professionals in order to coordinate medical and nutritional needs. Some nutrition counselors specialize in the management of overweight patients, care of the critically ill, or care of renal (kidney) and diabetic patients. In addition, those employed by nursing homes or small hospitals may also manage the food service department.

Coping Strategies for Anxiety Can following a strategy based on the pillars of brain fitness help you cope with anxiety? Absolutely, and not only do you cope with anxiety, you grow new neurons. Not sure about you, but when it comes to brains, I think bigger is better. So what are the pillars of brain fitness and how can I implement them? Those pillars are; physical exercise, nutrition including lots of omega 3 fatty acid and antioxidants, sleep, stress management, and novel learning experiences. If you have a lot of stress in your life, learning coping strategies for anxiety can help you manage that stress. While some of the strategies cannot replace the care of a doctor or the relief some medications can give, these steps are ones you can begin right away. The first step in handling anxiety is to make sure you spend some time every single day doing something fun. Laughter helps to loosen the tight bands of stress in the body and can help you relax. Whatever it is that you find

Diet Phone Counseling Diet phone counseling is another interesting development where combining counseling with communication technology shows promise for relief. I have found research in recent weeks about the efficacy of phone counseling with weight loss, smoking, depression, and anxiety. As insurance companies and clients realize the value of services like diet phone counseling, I am sure the face of counseling will change. Probably much less of the face to face meeting at the counselor s office type of thing, and more of the e-mail, chat, or video session, and perhaps there will be no insurance reimbursement at all. Sessions involving interactive and/or online technology are usually less expensive. Here is the article; "As the use of Internet and telecommunications services continues to grow, researchers have questioned the practice of telephone counseling for general mental health. But according to a study reported in the April Journal of Counseling Psychology (Vol. 49, No.

Self Esteem Counseling Almost every counseling situation I have been involved in has had an element of self esteem counseling in it. What I mean by that is that clients are struggling with a concern that they do not have the tools to handle a particular external sitution, and for those folks, self esteem counseling begins with teaching them first where their reality exists, which is inside their heads, in the interpretations and feelings generated after sensory perceptions. For those already aware of their feelings and cognitions, I begin to teach a model which allows them to challenge their thoughts. I usually start by asking them to imagine the best possible outcome, and stating their feelings as they imagine that outcome. And then I tell them to change that thought to the worst possible outcome, and again state their feelings, and clients usually begin to get a glimmer that thoughts bring feelings, and those thoughts exist inside themselves only, since they are in my office and
