THURSDAY, March 29 — Researchers say they’re designing patch-like devices to wirelessly transmit information about a person’s vital health statistics, potentially freeing patients from the wires and sticky electrodes of electroencephalograms and electrocardiogram .

The devices, currently envisioned to be more like a temporary tattoo than a medical patch, could conceivably measure heart activity and brain waves, said John Rogers, a professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who spoke about the new research at a conference this week.

“The big benefit would be the ability to continuously monitor health and wellness,” Rogers said.

In the world we live in its common place to be subject to stress whether pshycological, or physical it all compounds as stress on the body in one way or another.

Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one. Hans Seyle

Stress is not always a bad thing and quite simply something that triggers an internal reaction and response in the body, namely triggering our HPA axis (hypothalamus-pitutary-adrenal) and produces stress hormones.

Ideally, when you have a serious illness, family should rally around you and offer unconditional support. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen. Sometimes illness can bring out the worst in people, and I’m not even talking about the person who is actually sick.

Tensions can run high when you are facing a serious or possibly life threatening illness. All of a sudden, a sense of control has been removed, both from the person affected by the illness and the family and friends around the person.

In a time when nearly 17 percent of America’s children are considered obese, there are several fingers being pointed and many debates taking place. Sometimes restaurants are under fire for advertising and serving unhealthy food to kids. Our schools catch flak for the menus and junk food they provide.

Peaking for an athlete is essentially dialing in all the different components of preparation so that at a specified point in time, you are in the absolute best condition possible.

Im worked with combat athletes who need to  prepare for specific fights on a specific day on that date we need to peak.

If Im working with an NFL prospect then Im looking to have them peak first at the combine, and then at training camp. With an elite player you may want them to peak later in the season.

But what about a general fitness client?

March 20, 2012 — When children have access to a parent, sibling, or grandparent’s medicines, it can be an accident waiting to happen, a new report shows.

A young child’s instinct to put things in their mouth or a kid’s natural curiosity may kick in. Both of these situations can lead to medication poisonings in children.

Roughly 165 young children in the U.S. are treated in the emergency rooms every day after getting into medications, says a new report from Safe Kids Worldwide.
