Positively Beautiful: Smiles, the face of positive emotion

Positively Beautiful: Coming clean about cleansing
Those who’ve ever had a colonoscopy know that “preparing” the colon by cleaning out the solids is the worst part. We were just not designed to go to the bathroom that much! But you often see “colon cleanses” being touted on the internet and through health clubs. It’s not new: Through history, physical and spiritual cleansing practices often involved special foods and/or fasting, along with meditation or prayer.

Positively Beautiful: Life is like a marathon
I took up running in college and continued through medical school and residency. I did a few 10ks and even took a short run during my lunch break for the MCAT exam. Crazy. I can’t believe I did that, but it did seem to refresh my mind for the next long test session.

Positively Beautiful: Book takes close look at whole health
It should be so easy, this healthy living stuff. We know the rules, don’t we? Eat a clean diet with lots of leafy greens, berries, nuts and seeds, and high quality lean protein. Cut down on the white stuff like flour, white rice, white potatoes and sugar. Drink water, not pop. Sleep eight hours. Move daily – walk, stretch, dance, lift weights or swim. Take a multi-vitamin, and perhaps some extra Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. Minimize stress. Breath deeply. Enjoy nature. Laugh often.

Positively Beautiful: Welcome spring, unwelcome allergies
We are really happy about the arrival of spring at our house, with warmer weather, longer days, and budding trees.

Positively Beautiful: Tapping your way to good health?
Saying affirmations always make me smile as I think of the Saturday Night Live skit with Stuart Smalley looking in the mirror, chiming “I’m good enough, and by golly, people like me.”

Positively Beautiful: A closer look at hair loss treatments
Last week I investigated causes of hair loss and how we can look for clues to see what our body is telling us.
Assuming our diet is adequate for good hair growth, our hormones are in check and we are managing stress like a Zen master, what else can be done to maintain and regain our hair?

Positively Beautiful: Whole-hearted living is a goal worth pursuing
A friend introduced me to Brene Brown’s work in early 2011, and I have been mesmerized since. She does research by interviewing people about their lives, focusing on feelings of vulnerability, worthiness, shame and courage.

Positively Beautiful: Never let them see you sweat
Hockey season is done for my five year old son Grant, but the aroma of sweaty hockey gear lingers. A veteran hockey mom told me she dumps pads and all into the washer without problem, so this is on my to-do list for the weekend. I’ve also noticed recent ads for deodorant regarding stress sweat and it’s more pungent odor. Have you ever wondered about sweat?
