Researchers at the Queen Mary University of London have found that caffeine, a major ingrediant in coffee, appears to do more than perk you up—it activates AMPK, a key cellular fuel sensor that helps cells cope with stress and energy shortages. This could explain why coffee is linked to better health and longer life. Another study, this one from Tufts University, links consumption of black coffee to a lower risk of all-cause mortality.
Caffeine, a stimulant, activates qi, which means it improves circulation.
According to the latest research from The Harris Poll, over three-fourths of Americans report some level of serious and rising anxiety. The deepest anxieties reflect the grinding pressures of modern life—from rising costs to family strains to political angst.
People rush through life. This habit will automatically increase anxiety. Slow down and "smell the roses." Personally, I only move fast when there is a direct need to. Slow and easy, that's the way to go.
Researchers from the famous Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin discuss how young people are particularly affected with this problem, which often begins with severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea, loss of appetite, fatigue, and a high level of emotional stress. This is how the two most common chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, often begin.
The habits of worrying and hurrying cause pathogenic heat (inflammation), and are extremely common among young people in our modern age. Helping folks replace these unhealthy habits with healthy ones is the task of the wellness coach.
A team of German scientists has discovered a direct link between the smell of food and feelings of fullness at least in LEAN MICE. This brain circuit, located in the medial septum and triggered by food odors, helps animals eat less by making them feel satiated even before taking a bite. And, obese mice lacked this response. Think about it.
Like I've been saying for decades, the bodies of overweight people want ZERO FOOD. They never feel hunger either, and the taste of food is muted too. But do they pay attention to their body's messages, HECK NO. The "eating right" propaganda is just too strong to ignore.
Researchers from the University of Oregon showed that hot-water immersion helps lower blood pressure and boosts the immune system, outperforming saunas when it comes to health perks.
The wet heat relaxes the blood vessels and the surrounding muscles, allowing for increased blood flow, a kindness to the heart and all the organs. I take a jacuzzi after every gym workout. It allows for the complete evacuation of lactic acid and other by-products of muscular contraction.
UC San Diego scientists have created a gene therapy that goes beyond masking Alzheimer’s symptoms—it may actually restore brain function. In mice, the treatment protected memory and altered diseased brain cells to behave more like healthy ones.
In the next decade, the combination of genetic and molecular engineering will improve ourselves and our world in ways that can't even be imagined by us today.
Eight-Principle-based Chinese medicine is the gold standard for the health needs of our modern world. As Chinese culture continues to spread around the globe, Chinese medical theory and Chinese Medicine for the Modern World will come to play central roles in the fields of wellness and longevity.
