Better Living Through Science and Health

By Hsien-Hsien Lei, PhD

What are you doing to live a healthier, more satisfying life and maybe even creating one for other people? Here are some tips for good living from the bloggers of the Science and Health Channel.

• ~ Jul at Veggie Chic talks about putting cow poop to good use. (And, no, I don’t think John Evans at Syntagma is putting cow patties to good use.)
• ~ Mark at A Dozen Steps gives us a glimpse into an alcoholic mind.
• ~ Christina Jones at MRSA Notes informs us that tea tree oil has been linked to antibiotic resistance.
• ~ Mary Emma Allen at Alzheimer’s Notes suggests a cup of cocoa to ward of Alzheimer’s disease.
• ~ Kristen King at Lively Women wants us to feel our boobies. Yes, that means you men too! (And check out Kristen, the red-haired beauty. ;) )
• ~ Tony Darnell at Astronomy Buff thinks we’re better than monkeys (are we?) and that’s why we should give a damn about cosmology.
• ~ Tris Hussey at Homely Scientist wants us all to feel less scared of getting jabs with painless micro-needles.

• ~ Jason Calacanis is fatblogging away the pounds and I applaud him for it over at A Hearty Life. b5media CEO, Jeremy Wright, is joining in too. Who else is in?
• ~ Kristina Chew at Autism Vox compares Guantanamo with the Judge Rotenberg Center that uses electric skin shock, aka aversive stimulation, to treat children and adults with autism and other emotional and behavioral disorders.
• ~ Grace at Flu Patrol has some tips for dealing with sinus congestion so it doesn’t ruin your life.
• ~ Cory Aldrich at Baldiness says that if you have unexplained pain in your groin, GO SEE A DOCTOR. You need to find out why someone might have such a pain in such a delicate area.
• ~ Ruth Schaffer at Eating Fabulous suggests olive oil for preventing H. pylori infections and subsequent peptic ulcers.
• ~ Angela White at Breastfeeding 1-2-3 wants to call for a change in Michigan’s attitude towards breastfeeding.
• ~ Rob Rummel-Hudson at Diabetes Notes talks about how diabetes affects love and…a person’s sex life.
• ~ Over at Genetics and Health, I do a breakdown of happiness: genes, life events, and daily events. Of course I’m blaming my genes for my disposition.
• ~ Gloria Gamat of Cancer Commentary compares brain tumor surgical methods: expanded endonasal approach vs traditional methods that significantly disrupts the face along with its nerves and muscles.
• ~ Laura Bzowy at CFS Squared: Tales of CFS wants to know if you have a bedtime routine. Given the importance of sleep in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, this is something to think about if you’re a chronic insomniac or late stayer upper!
