Poor eating habits and sleep woes take a toll

Today, let's take a look at the mounting evidence suggesting that chronic stress can make you fatter. Americans are the fattest society the world has ever seen, we are getting fatter year by year, and we are getting fatter faster. The reasons are well known. A lousy diet + slothful living = obesity.

Hyp-Yoga Can Help You Sleep Better, Eat Less and Reduce Stress

Can hypnosis really help you sleep better, stop cravings and stomp out stress? We're easily distracted. We can't sit still long enough to meditate, and sometimes, we mentally multitask during yoga. (Did we turn off the coffeemaker? What time does the dry cleaner close again?) So when we heard that Hyp-Yoga, a blend of yoga and hypnosis, was the latest yoga hybrid sweeping the country, we figured: That probably won't work on us. ... (more)

When Stress Takes a Toll on Your Teeth

WITH economic pressures affecting millions of Americans, dentists may have noticed a drop in patients opting for a brighter smile, but they are seeing another phenomenon: a rise in the number of teeth grinders. “I’m seeing a lot more people that are anxious, stressed out and very concerned about their financial futures and they’re taking it out on their teeth,” said Dr. Steven Butensky, a dentist with a specialty in prosthodontics (aesthetic, implant and reconstructive dentistry) in Manhattan.

One recent study in the Journal of Sleep found that Canadians regularly treat insomnia with alcohol. Night-caps are a bad idea since alcohol disturbs the deep stages of sleep, aggravates snoring and increases the risk of developing sleep apnea. “Although you might feel that you’re knocked out the first night of heavy drinking, alcohol actually suppresses REM.
