Life in a Body with Steve Sisgold
submitted by: admin on 11/23/2024
The message of how our body feels provides the opportunity for hidden insights to emerge and be dealt with. We tend to hold certain bodily dysfunctions captive until they are released and dealt with.

Low Glycemic Index Linked to Higher Mortality
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013
For patients over the age of 60 it appears that the target hemoglobin A1c level of less than 6.0% are associated with a higher death rate. This happens despite the fact that the complications of type 2 diabetes are far lower when A1c levels are less than 6.0%. The best overall outcomes occur with A1c levels between 6.0 and 8.0.
Nonetheless, the best treatment...
Low HDL Cholesterol Does Not Cause Heart Attacks
