Nostalgia Arms Us for the Future H


When speaking wistfully of the past,


individuals are usually reconstructing happy memories of family and friends, and typical- ly become more optimistic about the future, reports lead researcher and Social Psychologist Constantine Sedikides, Ph.D., who observes,


“Nostalgia makes us a bit more human.” The Southampton paper, presented to the American Psychological Association, meshes well with another study confirming that nostalgic memories inspire positive feelings of joy, high self-regard, belonging and meaningfulness in life. In two studies, social psychologists at North Dakota State University found that past fond memories help us become more self-confident and cope better in the present. “We see nostalgia as a psychological resource that people can dip into to conjure the evidence they need to assure themselves that they’re valued,” says lead researcher Clay Routledge.


aving lingering fond memories of happy times, once actually thought to be a psy-


chiatric disorder, have now been confirmed as a healthy and, ultimately, positive activity. Most people experience nostalgia at least once a week and nearly half of those surveyed report- ed experiencing it three or four times a week, say researchers at England’s University of Southampton.

THE WHOLE FISH IS BEST FOR BLOOD PRESSURE


ver the years, a broad range of


research has con- firmed that omega-3 fatty acids found in


fatty fish like salmon, tuna and sardines promote heart and brain health. Now researchers at the Universi- ty of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine have found that taking fish oil supplements isn’t as effective at keeping blood pressure under control as eating an actual fish. The animal study published in the


U.S. Proceedings of the National Acade- my of Sciences shows that eating oily fish helped open ion channels, a complex series of membranes in the cells that line blood vessels, letting sodium, calcium and potassium in and out of those crucial cells and helping reduce blood pressure. Because fish oil supplements did not acti- vate the ion channels, they didn’t reduce blood pressure in the same way.


DO YOU SLEEP GREAT EVERY NIGHT?


“I’ve been using Sleep Apnea Relief for the past three months and now my pulminologist wants to pass it on to his patients who wear CPAP.” - Florence, NY, NY


No?


Maybe you have Sleep Apnea. What about the person you sleep with?


SLEEP TIGHT TONIGHT, with Nature’s Rite!


Hi, I’m Steve Frank and I suffered from Sleep Apnea for years. I couldn’t sleep with a CPAP machine strapped to my face. It was a serious problem. A scientist and engineer by training, I studied the problem for years and finally found that both obstructive and central sleep apnea are caused by a diminution of the signal from the brain to the diaphragm. This results in a breathing stoppage. When the brain senses this, it initiates a rapid deep inhalation which sucks the airway closed and ruins the entry to sleep. As an herbalist, I diligently pursued a group of herbs that would correct this problem. Well thank goodness, it works! My patent-pending formulation has helped thousands and I use it every night. Why haven’t you tried it?
