Tipping Point
President Barack Obama addressed Congress with details of his plan this week and accused his opponents of using scare tactics to gain supporters. As the two sides debate over politics, let's hope they don't lose sight of what's really important, the health of American people. Any health care reform needs to include incentives for exercise, a healthy diet, and smoking cessation.
Exercise, It Does a Body Good
This isn't exactly news, but exercise is good for you. There is an ever-expanding list of the health benefits of exercise and it seems like there are one or two more benefits revealed weekly. Well, this week we've got a couple of interesting ones for you.

Reduce Stress?
"The American Institute of Stress characterizes stress as "America's #1 health problem" and associates it with a host of diseases. Practices such as yoga have been used worldwide for thousands of years to increase relaxation and manage stress. A recent study conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital sheds some light on how stress-reducing activities can actually help fight disease. These activities trigger what is known as the relaxation response, which is characterized by decreased oxygen consumption and reduced psychological distress."

Trouble Sleeping?
Having trouble sleeping? Give aerobics a try!
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 64 million Americans suffer from insomnia. While there are varying types of insomnia and a myriad of causes, all insomniacs suffer from the same persistent inability to fall asleep. Treatment of this condition can include medication, therapy, relaxation exercises, and, according to a new study, aerobic exercise.
Researchers in Brazil recently studied a group of 28 women and 8 men suffering from chronic insomnia. Participants were divided into four groups: moderate aerobic exercise, heavy aerobic exercise, strength training, and a control group. The results indicated that the moderate aerobic exercise group saw the greatest improvement, with a 54 percent decrease in sleep onset latency, 36 percent decrease in awake time, an increase in total sleep time and sleep efficiency by 21 percent and 18 percent, respectively and a 7 percent decrease in anxiety.
