Here's some health news that could lead to a potentially big health breakthrough: light sleepers may be at the mercy of a specific brain rhythm called the "alpha rhythm."

A team at Massachusetts General Hospital found that a brain rhythm long associated with wakefulness persists in a hidden form during sleep. And this alpha rhythm can become more intense at times, affecting someone's ability to sleep through noise or other disturbances.

To make their discovery, a team of researchers used computerized electroencephalography (EEG) rhythms in 13 volunteers who slept for three nights in the MGH Sleep Lab. Throughout each night, the volunteers were exposed to 10 seconds of typical background noises, such as traffic or a ringing telephone. The sounds were repeated at increasingly louder levels until the EEG showed that sleep had been disrupted....

Noni fruit has gained worldwide notoriety in recent years for its health benefits, but also as a result of how those benefits have been exaggerated. Noni fruit is packed with nutrients – some well known, others more mysterious – that can help you to live a healthier, longer life. Several animal studies have shown that noni fruit can help to reduce tumors, enhance the immune system, and relieve pain.

Scientists in both the public and private sectors have widely demonstrated that the health benefits of noni fruit, while often wildly exaggerated, are not to be dismissed.

Noni fruit comes from the noni tree. When ripe, a noni fruit is about the size and color of the inside of a pear. It contains many seeds and has a distinctive, pungent odor. It is soft and dripping with juice....

When it comes to cooking, most of us use oils. Whether its adding oil to a cake mix or preparing to fry up a chicken breast, whether its drizzling oil over a salad or pouring a little into boiling water before adding pasta, oil is used so often and so frequently that it’s imperative that we figure out what’s healthy and what’s not. Also, there are so many varieties out there that it can be a little overwhelming—should you use canola, olive, coconut, animal fat, soybean oil, or what? We’re going to break down the list here, go over the benefits and health risks, and give you a good idea as to what you should be using.

First, let’s be clear about something: all oils are basically fats. If you weren’t aware of that, now you know, but whether its vegetable oil or olive or whatever, they’re all fats, so be aware of how much you use and why. Just as there are good fats and bad fats, from transfats to monounsaturated, the same holds true for oils....

As adults we all handle our grief in different ways, and the same can be said when a loved one passes on. There is no putting measurements on the level of pain when it comes to death. One cannot say the pain of losing their parents is any less severe than the pain of losing their husband or child.

Our first thoughts to help us deal with the loss is to try and rationalize it. That in the long run their passing was for the best because they were sick and suffering, or they were growing old and fragile. Or we were lucky to have had them for so long.

There are stages to grief, and in order to heal it is important to go through each of those stages. Allow yourself to go through each of these stages, but try to recognize within yourself if you find that you are not able to move on....

My name is George and I wanted to share with people how I lost weight and kept it off. And I didn't spend a fortune doing it either. I don't believe in buying in to the Nutri System plan and all the other ongoing special foods purchases that are advertised.

If you just use common sense, stick to one real, honest plan, keep at it and don't give up, any one can lose the weight they want to. One fact I do know for sure. If you want to lose weight AND keep it off, you must lose the weight slowly over time. The fast weight loss fad diets do not work for the long term. Losing weight and keeping it off permanently is an eating style change, not just a diet to lose weight.

Before I go any further let me tell you a little about my self.

I'm not a doctor, nutrition specialist, dietician, diet guru, weight trainer or any other person in the medical or diet field. What I am is a guy with a degree in Finance and Accounting that has always worked in that field. And I want to just share what worked for me. Also, I don't like to spend money that I don't have to. I'm not cheap, I just don't like to waste money....

Many people resort to natural ways of preventing hair falling out mainly because it is non-invasive. Aside from this, they are ensured that they are getting pure and natural ingredients which won't harm their bodies.

We've all read books on self-improvement to learn what we need to know about success. However, the fact remains that books are only informational in nature; they can tell you what you need to know and momentarily raise your spirits, but they don't offer lasting change. Oftentimes these books are little more than a brief pick-me-up.

The same can be said for the myriad of diet books, pills, websites, gadgets, and exercise fads on the market. Most of them are complete foolishness and are aimed more at parting you from your money rather than true lifestyle change. So many people invest in such things, only to be disappointed. Some might actually be useful tools -- if you make them a part of your daily lifestyle. No fad or quick fix is going to make you look good or get fit.

Be honest: how many times have you read a book, tried a diet, or joined a gym only to fall off when things got tough? In order to achieve true fitness you need to involve both your mind and your body. You need to cultivate a lifestyle that celebrates a combined mind-body workout and make it a part of your daily routine!...

The body slows its processes down requiring less energy to function as it worries that the food shortage is a going to be a long lasting event....

What do you get when you play a country and western song backwards? You get your truck back, you get your home back, you get your love life back. Just like reversing a country and western song, you can get your health back and stop diabetes symptoms from controlling your life.

Just to clarify, your body communicates with itself using chemical messengers called hormones. Several organs in the brain and body produce hormones that flow to other organs through the blood where these messages are received and the corresponding organ responds by producing another hormone that fixes a problem detected by sensors in your nervous system that alerted the brain in the first place....

Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland situated under the pituitary gland does not produce the required amount of thyroid hormone. This hormone is necessary for proper functioning of the cells of our body and assist in metabolism. Any deficiency in this hormone would result in a host of problems in the human body.

There many people around the world with some form of hypothyroidism or thyroid dysfunction without even knowing that they have that disorder. Surgery, medications, iodine deficiency, dysfunction of the pituitary gland, and thyroid gland inflammation are some of the causes of hypothyroidism. The other causes of hypothyroidism could be chronic fatigue and weakness, weight gain or difficulty in losing weight, dry and rough skin, and abnormal menstrual cycles....

Statistics show that the average American drinks an estimated 56 gallons of soft drinks each year. Before you grab that next can of soda, consider this: a can of soda contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, and 30 to 55 mg of caffeine. Moreover, it is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites, which are preservatives that can trigger migraine and headaches and can cause heart palpitations and arrhythmia.

Some of the major components of soda are the following:...
