Another group of botanical
dietary supplements containing kava offers to relieve stress, tension, and
menopausal symptoms and to promote sleep for those with insomnia. In March
2002 the FDA advised consumers that supplements containing kava, a plant
indigenous to the South Pacific, carried the potential risk of severe
liver injury. You should know:
Familiarize yourself with the
ingredients, their properties and safety concerns before choosing a
dietary supplement. Speak to your doctor before beginning to take new
supplements. And remember the old adage, "If it sounds too good to be
true, it probably is." Mental
Training - Hot Idea Tied up on a business trip
and can't get away for your usual workout? Injured and unable to keep
those muscles in top shape? Want to enhance your sports performance? This
could be your answer. You may have heard about
Eastern mystics who use imagery to significantly reduce their heart rate
and oxygen consumption or about athletes who improve their game with
mental imaging. Powered by your own imagination, you can use the same
technique to train purely within your mind and enhance your actual
physical performance. Nerves control your muscles
and the nerves are linked to your brain by a massive network of
interconnections. Whenever we learn something new, we lay down nerve
pathways in our body and brain. As we expand our knowledge we organize,
modify, and strengthen existing pathways and continue to add new ones. When you clearly imagine
yourself aiming and shooting a basketball, swinging a golf club or
executing a Tae-Bo kick, you exercise the same pathway and part of your
brain that would physically co-ordinate the involved muscles. Whether you
train physically or mentally, the part of your brain that controls those
muscles experiences the physical and imagined inputs similarly. Practicing
your ace serve mentally can actually help your real world tennis game. By creating clear imagery you
can slow an action down in your mind and break out the actual segments of
a given motion, say swinging a baseball bat. You can feel and see what you
might be doing wrong, practice the correct form, and get the
"real" feel for it. Begin today to increase your
abilities in ways you might not otherwise have imagined! Definition
