Dr. "TKA" Kulla-Abbott's List: Health and Wellness

September is National Preparedness Month and a great opportunity for your household, business, or community to focus on preparedness. It is recommended that all Americans have an emergency supply kit and an emergency plan, and be informed about the different emergencies that can happen in their area and the appropriate responses.

Getting prepared can be as easy as following these steps:

* Get a kit
* Make a plan
* Be informed
* Get involved

"Humans are complex biological and psychological animals with an evolutionary imperative for personal and social survival. We share known basic attributes in terms of human survival that can be summed up with this acronym: HALT: as in, don’t let yourself become too Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired. Although simplistic, paying attention to these basics will keep one generally healthy and well."

"Rather than just reminding one’s self to ’stay positive’ or to practice ‘positive thinking’, what if an individual could choose to be hopeful – despite circumstances – and experience improved health and long life? There is evidence that practicing optimism produces these great outcomes. In 1997, the American Psychological Association determined that optimism measurably improves quality of life in those with depression. In his recent column, Revealing Health: Doorways to Optimism, in Science of Mind’s March 2008 issue, Dr. James Rouse discusses a simple and effective method for cultivating genuine optimism."

Vitamin D is required by the human body for proper functioning of numerous systems, to maintain health of both mind and body. After several decades of drumming the message to avoid overexposure to the sun because of the damage ultraviolet rays can do to the skin, including melanomas, clinicians are beginning to offer more balanced advice for sun exposure. Dr. Michael Holick, author of “ The UV Advantage“, advocates daily sunlight exposure to avoid numerous diseases caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin” that is actually a hormone. Holick recommends daily sunshine and advocates wider use of proper exposure to the sun, in an effort to counter a pandemic of vitamin D deficiency-linked disorders and diseases that is now prevalent among North Americans. Here is a brief interview and his recommendations.

"SAN FRANCISCO — When one of the most important e-mail messages of his life landed in his in-box a few years ago, Kord Campbell overlooked it. "

"The information on the FDA's nutrition labels is lacking. Sure, it will tell you about the calories and sodium in a package of microwave cheeseburgers. But it won't mention how a cheeseburger will make you feel in two hours, or if it will bankrupt your imagination this afternoon, or if it will make you too tired to go on a walk this evening -- and it might do all of those things.

What we eat plays a big part in our wellbeing, even our extremely near-term wellbeing, say Tom Rath, author of the bestsellers StrengthsFinder 2.0, Strengths Based Leadership, and How Full Is Your Bucket? and leader of Gallup's workplace research and leadership consulting worldwide, and Jim Harter, Ph.D., Gallup's chief scientist for workplace management and wellbeing and coauthor of the bestseller 12: The Elements of Great Managing."
