• The persistent cool and damp weather in the Northeast this spring put many outdoor activities on hold. With the weather finally improving, many people will head outdoors, and when they do, they are likely to find a perennial pest has been lurking, ready to latch onto the next warm-blooded body that comes by. "And that could spell serious health trouble," warns Dr. Chad Richmond, a family physician at the UDMNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine.

HONOLULU — What, me worry? I live in Hawaii.
The islands' laid-back charm and no-rush attitude are known around
the world, but a new study may confirm what residents have known all
along — Hawaii is the least-stressed state in the nation.
The Aloha State had the nation's lowest rate of frequent mental
distress, or FMD, for adults. Hawaii's rate of 6.6 percent was lower
than the national average of 9.4 percent, according to a study to be
published in the June issue of the American Journal of Preventive
Medicine.

South Dakota and Nebraska were among the lowest, while Kentucky was
the most stressed state at 14.4 percent, the report said.
The study concluded that where people live could affect their state
of mind. And some areas consistently have high or low incidences of FMD,
defined as a person suffering from stress, depression or emotional
problems for 14 or more days in the previous month.
 
The study was based upon data from annual surveys conducted by phone
between 1993-2001 and 2003-06 by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. More than 1.2 million people were randomly surveyed in each
of the two periods.
Kentucky and Alabama were the only states whose FMD prevalence was in
the top five in both periods.
The Appalachian and the Mississippi Valley regions had high and
increasing FMD prevalence, and the upper Midwest had low and decreasing
FMD prevalence.
The report said mental distress is a major source of suffering in the
U.S. and worldwide. Several factors can contribute to FMD, including
everything from physical conditions to the loss of a job.
"Both biologically based mental illnesses and mental health problems
with a social or situational cause sometimes lead to prolonged, yet
avoidable, periods of mental distress that can disable an individual and
result in substantial social and economic costs," the study said.
Dr. Matthew M. Zack, the study's lead investigator, said the next
step is to figure out why Hawaii is less stressed than other states. The
state's ethnic makeup or consistently sunny weather could be factors.
"Hawaiian residents may have something that could be very helpful for
the rest of the U.S.," he said in an interview with Hawaii Public Radio.
In the study, Zack said since FMD often indicates potentially unmet
health and social service needs, programs in high rate areas should
collaborate to identify and eliminate the specific preventable sources
of distress.
"With the growing scientific literature linking FMD to treatable
mental illnesses and preventable mental health problems, the increased
use of these surveillance data in community mental health decision
making is especially warranted," Zack wrote. "The continued surveillance
of mental distress may help these programs to identify unmet needs and
disparities, to focus their policies and interventions and to evaluate
their performance over time."

Interesting Health and Astrology Concept: Knowing which element of the universe is representative of your astrological sign can guide you towards making better decisions surrounding your health. Astrology signs such as Aries and Sagittarius are characterized by the element of fire. Fire signs may be prone to dry skin and need to pay more attention to hydration of the body. Fire sign people, some would say, could use hydration to douse the temper as well. Another thing to consider when studying your astrological sign and good health is a partners sign and element of nature. Astrology compatibility can be researched for both of you and aid in possibly enriching the relationship. For example, if two fire signs are trying to keep their relationship strong and healthy and they know they are prone to dry skin and touchy tempers, this information could become very valuable. |
Regarding Steroids:Before you
buy steroids
you should ask the advice of a medical professional. Many steroids
are illegal to buy, but there are actually legal steroids as well.
If you decide to go this route, there are a few things you need to
remember to ensure you don’t compromise your health. Use the
products with strict medical supervision. Don’t exceed the
recommended dosages. Probably the most important point is to make
sure you find a retailer you can trust if you’re looking for
steroids
for sale. Be sure to understand the laws where you live
before you buy. A1-Health-care.com neither promotes nor demotes
steroid use, and does not approve or condone illegal use of
steroids. The information found here is for educational purposes
only, and A1-Health-care.com will not be responsible for
anyone who has misused steroids or any other information on steroids
described on this site.
