When we have a difficult emotion, like anger, irritation, grief, anxiety, embarrassment or guilt, we wish it would go away. We resist the feeling and push it away. We "stuff it," literally, into our emotional bodies and our cells. This is not healthy. <hr /><p><small>Original article published at <a href="www.mynaturalawakenings.com">Natural Awakenings Space & Treasure Coast Florida</a></small></p>urn:uuid:80710108-0e76-466f-a540-b161dcf1d18f2019-08-22T12:34:09-04:002019-08-22T12:34:09-04:00More of What you Love!: Articles you'll only find online.2011-04-04 15:09:00 -0400AnonymousArticles you'll only find online.<hr /><p><small>Original article published at <a href="www.mynaturalawakenings.com">Natural Awakenings Space & Treasure Coast Florida</a></small></p>urn:uuid:8e3872b8-094f-45b8-85e2-34a36d25437a2019-08-22T12:34:12-04:002019-08-22T12:34:12-04:00The Top Ten Reasons to Go to the Dentist2011-04-04 14:57:00 -0400Chris Edwards, DDSDental check ups include screening for oral cancer.

We tend to eat out much more often than usual disrupting our dental health routine. Did you know that bacteria from your mouth can go to your heart and cause damage? It's important to brush and floss so the gums won't bleed moving the bacteria into the bloodstream, eventually reaching the heart. Take your floss with you! Flossing doesn't have to be all that hard. With the new floss picks, flossing can be done anytime and anywhere. Carry them in your car, pocket or purse. <hr /><p><small>Original article published at <a href="www.mynaturalawakenings.com">Natural Awakenings Space & Treasure Coast Florida</a></small></p>urn:uuid:5bb1b3e2-5b2c-4c14-b4a3-0c38c76da0652019-08-22T12:33:59-04:002019-08-22T12:33:59-04:00Fish oils: A cure for depression?2011-04-04 14:49:00 -0400AnonymousOn a worldwide basis more working days are lost to depression than to any other illness. The incidence of depression is growing with people born within the last 50 years being twice as likely to suffer from it than were their parents. Dr. Joseph Hibbeln of the National Institutes of Health believes that the reason for the increase in depression can be directly attributed to a major shift in dietary patterns, specifically fat intake. He points out that the vast increase in the use of soy, corn, palm and cottonseed oils in the last 100 years has totally changed the traditional ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the diet. Soy oil consumption in the US, for example, has increased thousand-fold in the last 100 years helping to skew the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio from about 1:1 to today's 16:1. This, Dr. Hibbeln believes, spells trouble. The brain consists pretty well entirely of fat so clearly one's fat intake could affect one's brain composition, particularly the ion channels which channel signals in and out of the brain. There is also evidence that low levels of omega-3 fatty acids are associated with low levels of the mood hormone serotonin. Dr. Hibbeln's hypothesis is supported by the fact that the incidence of depression is considerably lower in countries with a high fish consumption.<hr /><p><small>Original article published at <a href="www.mynaturalawakenings.com">Natural Awakenings Space & Treasure Coast Florida</a></small></p>urn:uuid:d4c0e0f9-f3bd-4027-bb41-0a36799d6cce2019-08-22T12:34:09-04:002019-08-22T12:34:09-04:00Teens Turning Green2011-04-04 14:45:00 -0400Kristin BenderFor years, Natalie Whalen stuck to one brand of eyeliner to accent her big brown eyes.

Their healing and mastogenic effects (the enlargement and growth of healthy breast tissue), have been recognized by various cultures throughout the world.

Massage Therapy is no longer a luxury reserved for people who have too much free time, and money to burn. Massage Therapy is an effective, non-invasive, inexpensive treatment that relieves muscular pain and strain. It can improve your overall health by stimulating blood flow and lymphatic circulation which improves immune functions. Relaxing the muscles keeps the body flexible, improves sleep patterns, and stimulates endorphin levels which make us feel good and helps manage chronic pain.<hr /><p><small>Original article published at <a href="www.mynaturalawakenings.com">Natural Awakenings Space & Treasure Coast Florida</a></small></p>
