Living near a power line can increase your risk of Alzheimer's and senile dementia, a major new study has confirmed this week.

People who live within 54 yards, or 50 m, of a power line more than double their risk of a neuro-degenerative disease such as Alzheimer's compared with people who live at least 600 m from a line.

The time you live near a power line also determines the risk level. Living within close proximity of a line for 15 years or longer doubles your risk compared with someone who has lived close to a power line for less than five years.

These findings are based on a study of 4.7 m people living in Switzerland.

Nearly 100 million Boomers desire wellness, aggressively disregarding authority and conformity.

Boomers do not wish to "grow old gracefully" rather they are seeking ways to hold on to their youth through Reflexology and other forms of complementary medicine.

A new study shows that Baby Boomers Look To Alternative Medicine In Record Numbers. Journal of Health and Social Behavior.

Many boomers demand Reflexology and alternative medicine options because of their frustration with the limitations of mainstream medicine. The most telling evidence of Americans' dissatisfaction with traditional health care is the more than $27 billion they spend annually on alternative and complementary medicine, according to government estimates.

Squelching through mud and wading through water. Kick your shoes off for a sensory stroll along Britain's first reflexology trail.

I am standing on the threshold of Britain's first - and only - barefoot park. It's a sort of playground for feet, an unorthodox nature trail covered with a variety of surfaces; and, amazingly, it's meant to boost our health and vitality. The trail, one kilometre long, is in a partly wooded area in the Italian gardens of the Trentham Estate, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

On a sunny day, it's hugely popular with children and families, says Simon Johnson, the operations manager. It's too bad, then, that on the day I visit the rain is bucketing down and it's deserted, apart from two girls in cagoules sporting muddy limbs and wide grins, with their equally sodden but stoic grandparents. Inspired by their cheeriness, I roll up my trousers, remove my shoes - there are lockers here, as well as foot showers - and gingerly wiggle toes that are unaccustomed to, and a little anxious about, getting touchy-feely with nature.

The latest research suggests that while you are asleep, your brain is busily processing the day's information. It combs through recently formed memories, stabilizing, copying, filing, and making them more useful for the next day.

A night of sleep can make memories resistant to interference from other information and allow you to recall them more effectively. It also lets your brain sift through newly formed memories, possibly even identifying what is worth keeping and what to let go of.

Our planet Earth is called "Planet of Water". We have not found any other planet in this vast universe, which contains such a great amount of liquid water. It is said that our life was born in the primordial ocean of this planet, and water is a critical element for us to maintain our life form. All life could not exist without water.

Our precious and essential resource, however, has been seriously polluted all over the world.

Lake Baikal located in eastern Siberia is the largest and cleanest supply of freshwater on the planet. It has long been admired as the"Sacred Gem" and " Pearl in Siberia ". It is said that Lake Baikal is the deepest lake on Earth and holds 20% of the world's freshwater supply, which is more than the amount of water of the Five Great Lakes in the North America combined. It is also said that humanity could survive at least for forty years solely on the water of Lake Baikal.

TAIPEI, Taiwan--Taiwan set a World Record by arranging for 1,008 people to have a foot massage simultaneously. Photo: The participants, including hundreds of Japanese, South Korean and Hong Kong visitors, lay down on reclining chairs at the Taipei Area stadium for 40 minutes of foot massage, or reflexology treatment, given by 1,008 masseurs.

The event was organized by the Taiwan tourism bureau and four Taiwan reflexology associations.

Reflexology is based on the principle that by massaging one area of the body, you stimulate a reaction, or "reflex" in another, corresponding part of the body. It generally involves applying finger pressure to the feet or hands.

A 1990 study showed that working on specific reflex points on the soles or palms brings an improvement in the circulation in corresponding parts of the body, along with a reduction in tension (American Health: Fitness of Body and Mind, April 1990; 9 (3): 22).

A school has brought in a masseuse to calm stressed pupils preparing for GCSEs and boost their performance in the exams.

The 30-minute sessions are being offered to 15- and 16-year-olds at the mixed comprehensive who are considered at risk of missing out on good grades.

Twenty-five have had regular back massages from professional therapist Karen Etchells since the scheme was introduced three months ago at Priory Community School in Westonsuper-Mare, Somerset, UK.
