A REAL Wellness Tip - From Friedrich Nietzsche

Featured in:

You will not gain insights like this at worksite wellness sessions - and that's a pity. But, it's here for your consideration.

If REAL wellness were offered at worksite wellness functions, employees would learn life skills large and small, particularly in the areas of philosophy and human happiness. As it is, worksite wellness is largely a medical endeavor focused on risk reduction and prevention, neither of which contributes much to the work setting as a learning environment. If philosophy were on the worksite wellness agenda, workers would have continuous opportunities to increase their capacities for reason, exuberance and liberty toward higher quality of life.

What is the impact of overbearing mothers on daughters?

Are you concerned how your parenting is affecting your daugher? Find out how overbearing mothers affect their daughters.

There are many things that need to be taken into account when raising a child. There is certainly more to think about than simply teaching values and morals. How a mother interacts with her daughter, or behaves toward her daughter can either help to build up her daughter’s character or break it down. Most parents want their children to grow up to be the best individuals they can be, regardless of whether they choose to be a geneticist or a manger of the pub downtown.

Understanding Magnetic Resonance Imaging

MRI has become an indispensable tool to examine how your head and heart works.

MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, doesn’t use X rays like CT scan, but uses a strong static magnetic field and radio-frequency energy to generate images. MRI and CT scans offer tomographic imaging studies that produce images of discrete slices of tissue and eliminate confusing shadows from adjacent overlying structures as in a traditional X ray. This allows the doctor to see detailed images of soft tissues, bone, fat, muscles and internal organs in our body.

Risks of CT Scans

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that there hasn’t been any demonstrable benefit of whole-body scanning for asymptomatic individuals.

CT (computed tomography) scans can provide images with up to 20 times the detail of ordinary x-rays. A pencil thin beam of X-rays passed through the body produces cross sectional images from multiple angles, and when this is passed through a computer, the doctors can see three-dimensional image from any angle.

Is sickness caused by the germ or a poor immune system?

Kill the microbe or improve the immune system? What is the best way to prevent illness?

This question which first came up in France in the mid 1800s is still worth asking today, because one's view of how to obtain optimal health and wellbeing depends upon which side of this debate one agrees with. Germ Theory was put forward most famously by French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur, and states that certain sicknesses are caused by the invasion of micro-organisms that cannot be seen without a microscope. As such, treatment or prevention involves figuring out which microbe (bacteria, virus, fungus, parasite) has invaded the body and then killing it to prevent or stop the disease. This is the theory upon which western medicine is based. You get sick, you go to the doctor and get an antibiotic/antiviral/antifungal to get better. Much of our food, like milk, juices, canned food and even nuts like almonds are pasteurized in order to eliminate the bacteria to avoid sickness. Many people use anti-bacterial soaps and hand sanitizers in order to prevent the spread of infection. These actions are all about killing the germ, and are in support of Germ Theory.
