Fracture Risk, Bone Cells and Bone Health - Two Different Approaches

Fracture risk motivates people to seek strong bones.  When approaching the Western medical system seeking this better bone health, they discovered that the standard approach is to prescribe drugs that affect bone cells directly.

Your Bones and Your Emotions

When you think of improving your bone health, if you're like most people, you think about physical things to do. For example, exercise more, especially weight bearing. Or eat higher quality food. Or take certain supplements.

Individuation, assertiveness and conflicts can be healthy when they are born of a need to grow.

 Your Flu Vulnerability and Your Emotional Health Are Linked

Make no mistake - your emotional state has everything to do with your immune functioning.

And your emotional state in turn has everything to do with your emotional diet, yet you may not even know what an emotional diet is, let alone manage it for your better health.

You likely already know that neglecting your food diet would make you much more vulnerable to 'catching' the flu. Bad eating habits and poor nutrition have lots of negative payoffs, and susceptibility to infection is a big one. That's why we pay attention to when we eat, how much we eat, and the quality of our food.

Far fewer of us pay attention to another kind of diet - our emotional one, yet it links directly into our immunity and susceptibility to getting 'bugs' like the flu.
