New study sheds light on diets
It is not just what you eat, but what makes you eat when it comes to successful weight loss according to researchers at Temple’s Center for Obesity. While it is true that exercise and food choices are vital to losing weight, diet programs are urged to include strategies to help people stop their overeating patterns. Stress, fatigue, poor sleep, and loneliness are just a few examples of why people mess up on their diets. So learning to identify these emotional triggers and acquiring the techniques to cope with them, other than by food, may be the key to keeping your weight off.
“Natural” does not equal safe
Many companies that manufacture herbal supplements have jumped on the erroneous bandwagon of natural means safe. Just because something is labeled natural does not mean it is without side effects and is safer than traditional medicines. In fact, herbals are not extensively tested and the health effects are unknown so always consult with a doctor before taking any alternative products.

New way to clean your pearly whites 
Karen Van Cleef, CEO of Vitality Products, Inc., wanted to do away with conventional toothpastes, so she invented Tooth Soap. Closer to soap than Close-Up (a famous brand of toothpaste), this product freshens up your mouth without chemicals such as fluoride, dyes, artificial flavors and sweeteners. It is also neat to know that the founder of this alternative line of teeth cleaners is a stay at home mom who grew her business straight from her living room while taking care of her children.
