Forgive my lack of recent posting, but I have had trouble finding much to spur my interest in the recent health and wellness headlines.  In fact, just about every bit of research that has come along recently seems to be out of the “No $#!!, Sherlock” file.  A summary of this weeks findings:

• Study finds connection between Yoga and Mood
• Chinese medicine may help Chemo patients
• Bottled tea may not be as good for you as fresh brewed tea
• Disasters are especially tough on people with mental and physical disabilities

Yes, sure- in between there are other, somewhat more technically oriented papers touting some original and interesting works, but the news stories and research geared toward ‘ordinary people’ has been mind-numbingly obvious.  But just in case, I will add a few more of my own (sure to be validated by science when there is money to fund such insights):

• Locally grown, pesticide-free foods are better for you
• Sleep is important
• It is helpful to have loving and supportive people in your life
• Health-care is not perfect
• You live longer, and are happier, when you take good care of yourself
• Chicken soup helps

There you go!  Consider yourself doubly informed.  I will try to drop some of the sarcasm (which has been shown to induce alienation and/or entertainment to those in proximity), and bring you more posting in the near future!
