On January 11, I posted this piece, Surgery for Hiccups… (and Contest!). I invited people to submit their solution for curing hiccups or to tell a hiccup story. The most common solution offered was to swallow a spoonful of sugar. Interesting – I wonder why that one is so popular? The next most popular one was to be scared by someone. So, we received 260 ideas and I used the system at randomizer.org to come up with number at random. that number was 256, which means the winner of the Amazon.com/.ca or iTunes certificate is Tracey Hoey.

At first, a little funny, a little annoying. And – have you ever hiccupped in the middle of a yawn? During a meeting? There are many so-called cures for hiccups, such as: Pinch the back of your shoulder until it hurts Hold your breath and count to 20 Gargle Surgery? (keep reading) As annoying as hiccups can be, for some people, they don’t go away. The medical term is singultus, although you rarely hear a doctor calling it that. Prolonged hiccups are those that last up to 48 hours, but longer than 48 hours, they are called intractable hiccups. As odd as this may sound, this does need to be treated because they can cause other problems (inability to sleep, difficulty breathing, and so on). In the United Kingdom, a 25-year-old m...

But there is much more work ahead to totally eradicate cancer of the breast and all the other types.

I haven’t seen the DVD yet but the trailer gives the impression that it would definitely be worth checking out. See for yourself… The Path DVD giveaway is being extended until the 14th of February.

Road trips really are exhilerating and result in such memorable experiences. But road trips aren’t only about getting in the car and driving off in the sunset. They can also be about looking for change, looking for answers, and clearing the mind. And that’s really what the book ‘Road Trip Guide to the Soul’ is all about. I can guarantee that by the time you’ve finished reading it and following some of the ideas and action plans, you’ll be feeling as exhilerated as when you got into the car and took off. One lucky Healthbolt reader will be able to discover this for themselves. The winner of Sadie Nardini’s Road Trip Guide to the Soul is… Brandlyn Congratulations Brandly...

And of the two, taxes are probably the one that we understand the most about. Death, on the other hand, remains a mystery.  For ever, people have been asking the question ‘what is your purpose and why on earth do we live only to die?’ Many have tried to answer this question but in the end, death and the possibility of an afterlife, remains a mystery. The directors of a new documentary The Path are hoping to remove some of this mystery surrounding death, dying, and, in particular,  the afterlife. It features interviews with 13 individuals - well renowned authors, practitioners and well respected local practitioners in Upstate New York - who offer their their expertise on their own souls path, what they have learne...

I just love getting out on the road and heading somewhere. I don’t even have to be heading anywhere in particular. I just like to be on the road. So it‘s not surprising that  Sadie Nardini’s book ‘Road Trip Guide to the Soul’ caught my eye. After, the whole premise of the book rested on one of my favorite activities. But once I started reading, I soon realised that this road trip was unlike any other I had taken. Instead of packing a bag and jumping in a car, it was asking me to unpack, declutter, and remove the roadblocks in my life. Quite a daunting task, if you ask me. But I was up for the challenge. After all, it was making sense. L...

After all, we live in a world that seems to be obsessed with sex. But when it comes to talking about the intimate details of one’s sex life, it’s something that seldom happens, especially among women. Writer and editor Paula Derrow thinks this is because of fear… ‘fear of being exposed as inadequate, or worse, of being boring. Living in an all-sex-all-the-time culture may be liberating in many ways, but it can also breed shame - shame for not keeping up, for not being invited to the party.’ ...

But what if you could lose weight and help feed the hungry at the same time? That’s the idea behind a new campaign created by General Mills, NBC’s The Biggest Loser and the non-profit organization Feeding America. It’s called the Pound for Pound Challenge because, for ever pound you lose, General Mills will donate 10 cents to Feeding America. That’s enough, apparently, to provide one pound of groceries to a local food bank. Imagine all those 10 cents added together - just think of how many pounds of groceries Feeding America could provide for those without food.   All you have to do is take the pledge, start dieting (and of course exercising) and watch your lost pounds convert...

By the way, I have a sure fire why to avoid stress these holidays. Hibernate. Okay, so that might not work for most people. But remember, when you are getting stressed, the best thing to do is take time out for yourself. Try to relax, treat yourself to a massage or manicure, take a long walk somewhere away from crowds and shops, meet friends for coffee or lunch, watch a funny movie or sitcom, and just sit back and breathe.

I’ve been known to join and then never quite get around to getting there. I use pretty much every excuse under the sun not to go – it’s too cold, it’s too hot, it’s too wet, it’s snowing, there’s no time, it takes too much time, I have to clean the house (yes, I even resort to that one just to get out of going to the gym). But I’m okay with exercising at home. There’s a crosstrainer sitting in the home office and often, especially when I’m suffering from writer’s block, I do 5 or 6 kilometers and not only feel refreshed but also unblocked.  And then there are numerous exercise videos and DVDs cluttering up the TV cabinet, all of which get used from time to time.

Me, I’m a walker. Whenever the weather’s good, I head for the beach, the park, or the forest to walk for an hour or two. I have no technique – I simply put one foot in front of the other. I thought that’s all I needed to do to get fit and healthy. But having spent a little time reading up about ChiWalking, I’m starting to change my mind. Walking should be much more than simply one foot in front of the other. ChiWalking is a unique program that utilizes the principles and orientation as Yoga, Pilates, and T’ai Chi to help people work with core muscles, integrate the mind and body, and focuse on overall and long term performance and well-being.
