2. NUTRITION NEWS YOU CAN USE
Fasting appears to fight obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer & Alzheimer's disease
An international group of researchers maintain that "emerging findings from studies of animal models and human subjects suggest that intermittent energy restriction periods of as little as 16 h can improve health indicators and counteract disease processes. The mechanisms involve a metabolic shift to fat metabolism and ketone production, and stimulation of adaptive cellular stress responses that prevent and repair molecular damage."

4. NINE HABITS OF VERY HAPPY PEOPLE--PART I
by Wolf J. Rinke, PhD, CSP, RDN
For most people in prosperous nations happiness remains an elusive goal. Even though "many measures of quality of life have risen since World War II, the number of people who consider themselves happy remains flat," according to a U.S. News and World Report. In fact today "people are 10 times as likely to suffer depression as those born two generations ago." So what can we do to make ourselves happy? We can recognize that Abraham Lincoln was absolutely right when he said: "Most people are about as happy as they make their minds up to be." Happy people are not happy because they are endowed with the happiness gene--although researchers tell us that accounts for about half of one's potential for happiness--happy people are happy because they realize that happiness is something that they control by doing certain things every day. So here are nine things you can do that will make you happier:
1. Love what you do
I find it ironic that many people deny themselves the joy of their work. Somehow they assume that work is a dirty four letter word and that they must escape it as soon and as fast as possible so that they can get home and plop down in front of the TV. (Which, by the way, is a great way to become more unhappy and depressed.) I suspect it is because they have not found what they love to do. The key word here is love, not like, because once you find what you love to do you will not ever have to "work" another day in your life. (By the way it took me 36 years to find what I love to do, so don't give up your search, because when you find your passion, the quality of your life will improve dramatically.)
2. Chase your dreams
Happiness is often a byproduct of something that we are going after--something that juices us. Think of children. When are they the happiest--about two weeks before the Christmas or Hanukah holidays, or when they have ripped all the presents open? Once we have clearly defined, specific fire in the belly goals we get turned on and we become happy. In other words if your goal is to be happy--that's what many people in my seminars tell me--you won't necessarily be happy. You get happy from traveling the journey or doing something that improves the quality of someone else's life and yours. Chasing your dreams cranks up your internal body chemistry to such an extent that it energizes you to achieve extraordinary results and may even make you healthy.
3. Nourish an attitude of gratitude
A difficulty for many successful people is that they perpetually look up the mountain, never down. To feel a sense of gratitude you must have goals--look up the mountain--and also take the time to reflect on all that you have already achieved and accumulated--look down the mountain. One way to achieve this is to volunteer to serve meals at a homeless shelter. Or visit a third world country. For example when I used to work in the Pacific Rim my sense of gratitude was always renewed. Typically the client would book me in a five star hotel, which makes any of our five star hotels pale in comparison. One of the hotels in Jakarta even had a marble driveway. Not concrete, not flagstones--marble. When I looked out of my 29th story window I saw many other super-modern high-rise buildings. I also saw garbage dump several blocks away swarming with people, who were living on the dump in cardboard "houses" and foraging for food. Stop right now, and be grateful for all the abundance, that surrounds you. And remember many of our garbage disposals "eat" better than lots of people in the world.
4. Love someone deeply
Barbara Streisand was absolutely right, "people who love people are the luckiest people in the world." Start by developing a strong bond and lifetime relationship with a significant other. Having been happily married to my Superwoman for more than 45 years I can attest that she by far is my biggest source of joy and happiness. (She got that name because she is a one-in-a-million lover, mother, business partner, and confidant.) If you don't have such a relationship make it one of your top three fire-in-the belly goals, because such a partner becomes increasingly more important as you enter the later passages of your life. Extend that same love to your family and your close friends. The greater your circle of loving relationships, the greater your happiness.
In the next issue of this eNewsletter, we'll talk about the other five habits of very happy people.

5. HEAR WOLF "HOWL"--I MEAN SPEAK
Recommend me to the meeting planner of your upcoming state or local dietetic association and I will help make your next meeting a "howling success." As a way of giving back, I speak to ADA groups at significantly reduced rates.
6. HUMOR BREAK
Understanding Women (A Man's Perspective)
I know I'm not going to understand women.
I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, and rip the hairs out by their roots--and still be afraid of a spider.
