Eight Keys to Health and Wellness in 2008 from HealthAndWellness.com

(PRWEB) January 2, 2008 -- With input from users over the course of the past year, the editors of HealthAndWellness.com release their "Eight Keys to Health and Wellness for 2008."

"We've had a great year of input and feedback on what Health and Wellness means to our user community" notes Executive Editor Aimee Oscamou.

"They told us health and wellness is about positive living- whole health. The complete picture, not just reacting to a symptom. That can include anything from credible information on a complementary therapy like acupuncture, to adding basic yoga poses to a workout routine for overall wellness."

Based on that input and user feedback, the Eight Keys to Health and Wellness for 2008:

1. Sleep well. Improve sleep quality and you increase alertness, vitality, decision-making, and overall health and wellness. According to Carl Hunt, M.D., director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research, "There's a need to look at sleep on the same level of importance as diet and exercise. All three are equally important for good health."

2. Be "Health Proactive". Know the tests and screenings you need to take charge of your health: HPV, cervical cancer, osteoporosis, PSA and more. Tests and Screenings You Need (http://www.healthandwellness.com/healthandwellness/conditions/TestsAndScreenings/index.html)

3. Make strength, balance and flexibility a key part of your fitness resolution. Improve your total fitness by adding easy principles from yoga and pilates to your routine. Besides health- wellness and well-being should be your result.

4. Consider "Complementary and Alternative". A variety of complementary and alternative therapies and options are gaining scientific acceptance. Yoga, herbal, hypnosis, acupuncture and more: Complementary and Alternative-Medicines and Therapies (http://www.healthandwellness.com/healthandwellness/mindbody/ComplementaryAlternative/index.html)

5. Understand how to motivate yourself. Understand the mind-body relationship to resolution success. Both how you think and what you think about make all the difference. Know the psychology and the physiology of healthy weight management.

6. Find your way around a food label- how to read them and what to look for. Unlock the key to nutrition with each trip to the grocery store. HealthAndWellness.com provides a breakdown of health and nutrition information to use one of the best tools available for all US consumers, including guidelines to help them make sense.

7. Know how to eat out but keep pounds off. Eating out and gaining weight do not have to be synonymous. But remember that almost 75% of all restaraunt visits in the US happen at a fast food or fast service restaurant. Enjoy without guilt using the tips and strategies found on the Food and Nutrition channel.

8. Learn how to walk (for wellness). The most overlooked yet easiest path for most to improve health and wellness is getting out (or in) for a good walk. At the club, around the block, or at the mall. Start a program with a buddy- two legged or four legged. Use the right form and burn calories faster.

Health Care Proxies, Advanced Health Care Directives, And Living Wills
Any competent adult has the right to accept and/or refuse any medical treatment. Nobody disputes that. Doctors are only allowed to tell patients the pros and cons of treatment, they can offer advice, they can not order a patient to accept treatment. Problems start when the adult can no longer communicate or is no longer considered mentally competent enough to make their own decisions. When this happens other people step in and try to decide what type of medical treatment the person would want for themselves.
