I started attending SXSW Interactive (read: South by Southwest) in 1999 and did my first presentation there a year later (yes, 11 years ago!). Despite the Interactive portion being mainly about web development and technology, SXSW has always recognized the importance that technology plays in our health and mental health. And it’s this recognition and interesting discussions that keep people like me coming back year after year. Sure, SXSW is about the many parties, the great keynotes, and wandering the vast air-conditioned desert expanses that are the Austin Convention Center. But it’s mostly about the great, creative people you meet at SXSW, and connecting with them to think of new ways you can de...

Did you know that February is national Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in Australia? According to the Australian National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre, approximately 1,200 [...] (Source: Libby's H*O*P*E*) Libby's H*O*P*E* blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4532507 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 20:06:18 +0100 4532507 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3699457&cid=t_103099_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fcoming-soon-lunar-eclipse-tomorrow-morning%2F photo: Thinkstock We’re jealous of all of you lucky non-East coasters this weekend. There’s a lunar eclipse early tomorrow (Saturday) morning that we won’t be able to see. Everyone in the rest of the country will either have to stay up really late or get up very early – two things we’re not incredibly fond of, so maybe it’s for the best that we miss out on this one. For those of you on Central Daylight Time, you’ll see the biggest eclipse of the moon at 6:38 a.m.; for Mountain Timers, it’ll be 5:38 a.m.; and if you’re on Pacific Time, it’s 4:38 a.m. You have fun moon-gazing, we’ll have fun snoozing. You can tell us all about it after we’ve had our morning coffee. Post from: BlissTree Coming Soon: Lunar Eclipse (Tomorrow Mo...

Adults in the latest — albeit small — study suggest that people who took a 90-minute power nap after lunch did better on a battery of cognitive tests than those who didn’t. The improvement rate was about 10 percent better. Some cultures have built in the concept of an afternoon break from the long and non-stop workday. There seems to be some empirical support for the benefits of such a break, in that a mid-afternoon break (including a nap) seems to help with our ability to focus, especially with tasks that need short-term memory (which is what a lot of desk jobs entail). This should not be particularly surprising, since we already have a wealth of research demonstrating the benefits of a full,...

It is so darn easy to use and I feel like it is much more accurate at this point. I think that is due to the fact that the old glucometer was years aged and needed to be put to rest. Have any of y’all out there had that issue? Have you felt like your glucometer after some time lost accuracy? Maybe it was just me but either way I am all smiles thus far. My Saturday complete with numbers… Awoke… 96, yeah ha! I did not eat breakfast or drink anything till mid day due to still not feeling that hot this morning, I guess it wasn’t tiredness and was a bug or something. Midday Lunch…Before eating 99. I had an omelette with onion, pepper, tomato, turkey sausage and cheese and a 1/4 cup of grapes. I drank the ol’ unsweetened iced...

I have friends who swear by the 20 minute power nap. But in a society where everyone pumps caffeine to stay awake and working 12 or more hours a day is becoming common place, can we take the advice of the Archives of Internal Medicine telling us that taking naps reduces heart attacks? Now studies show that taking 30 minute naps in the afternoons can help reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack. Working men seemed to benefit the most from the down time. The main reasoning in the study is that naps helped reduce stress and lowering stress helps reduce the likelihood of heart attacks.In the largest study to date, Dr. Dimitrios Trichopoulos of Harvar...
