OXYTOCIN, COKE, LUCK,
& EXERCISE HEALTH NOTES
Feel Good & Be Healthy!
by TheDogPlace Staff
Wine and cheese party FOR YOUR
HEALTH? You bet! A recent Dutch study found that women who drank half a glass of
red wine daily were almost 50% less likely to develop heart disease. Red wine
contains resveratrol and polyphenols that increase good HDL cholesterol levels
and help prevent damage to blood vessels.
Equally interesting, that half a glass
also lowers your risk of obesity and diabetes according to the study author, Martinette Streppel, Ph.D. Cheese has almost as much benefit
when nibbled in small amounts and for many of us, the good news is six 8 ounce
cups of coffee per day cuts your risk of diabetes and inflammation.
And did we mention the proven benefits of dark chocolate?
Have
a great ST. PATRICK’S DAY and if you can’t find an Irish pub on the 17th, just
put a few drops of green food coloring in your favorite pale ale or light
lager! Or ask this Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier where he got his Guinness.
Dog breeders, particularly those who show their own dogs, get plenty of exercise but here’s a tip for anyone trying
to shed a few more pounds. Dr. Julian Whittaker says it is WHEN you
exercise that counts.
Most of us let the dogs out before we eat but hear
this - 15 minutes of vigorous exercise or 30 minutes of cleaning runs, if done before breakfast, burns the most fat-calories.
Why? Because
you have “starved” for 8 to 12 hours so early morning exercise
before food burns more fat. After you eat, exercise burns
donut-calories, not those stored in your body fat.
LUCKY CHARM? According to a recent
study in Current Directions In Psychological Science, keeping a good luck
charm in your pocket or as jewelry can actually change your luck! From a
practical standpoint, the scientists believe that just thinking you have a lucky
edge subconsciously prompts you to think and act in ways that make it more
likely for good things to happen. The odd thing is that even subjects who
did not believe in superstitious charms, reported that they achieved a
promotion or some other significant “stroke of good luck” occurred.
Most old-time handlers swear by that particular tweed jacket, a worn and knotted show lead, or that
rather plain ring she wears. Such "lucky charms may in fact account for such a high degree of success
that, well, they are still showing dogs. Something to think about…
RISING
COST OF HEALTH CARE is exemplified in more ways than one by the cost of a
Coca-Cola
Bayer Aspirin was Bayer’s Heroin. See
the actual photos and descriptions of what else was legal
“Before FDA Approved Drugs”[1]...
OXYTOCIN gives you a warm, loving feeling and according to Claremont Graduate University,
that’s like finding a great coupon for just what you need. Sure, that’s what
graduate students do when they can’t find a job but here’s a practical way to
use the “bonding hormone.”
Hold your partner’s hand
(or finger) as you walk across the
parking lot. Yeah, just like a mother dog and her newborns react to touch
stimulus, touching someone you love increases your levels of oxytocin.
Oxytocin release, even in small amounts,
helps you relax and feel more contented and the association of a quick hug or
hand holding can bond you to that person in a special way. Better than
chocolates on Valentine’s Day.
