Thoughts &
Emotions One of the
most important factors in the prevention of or recovery from illness is the
state of one’s mind. Mental/emotional stress in all of its many forms is a
common denominator in the cause and prolongation of chronic illness. If your
life is overly stressful and, more importantly, you don’t take steps to help
relieve the burden that stress places on your body, you will inevitably get
sick. If you are
already sick it will be that much more difficult to recover if your stress
levels are not dealt with properly. On the same token, when we look around us
we see time and time again that the healthiest people, and those with the
greatest longevity, are the ones with the best attitudes in life. Someone once
asked one of the oldest living human beings on the planet, a 114-year-old man,
what his secret to longevity was. His response was simply, "If it starts
to rain, I let it." Nothing could sum it up better than that. We all must
learn to relax, let go, and just be. Unfortunately, the hard part is learning
how to do this. It is also important to realize that the methods you choose to
accomplish these feats may be totally different than the next person. Some
people may choose to pray or meditate, some people may choose exercise, still
others may choose drag racing! The point is that it doesn’t really matter what
you do. However, to be truly healthy we all must find a way to diminish the
effects that the daily stresses we experience have on our minds and bodies. We
all must choose something. If you don’t
know where to begin, start by smiling. Better yet, rent a funny movie and laugh
out loud. When you’re done with that, find something, or someone, to love. It
doesn’t really matter who or what that is, as long you love it with all your
heart. http://www.mercola.com/2004/mar/6/healing_foundations.htm _______________________________________________________________________ What
is self-efficacy and how might it relate to cardiovascular health? Self-efficacy
refers to the confidence in one's ability to behave in such a way as to produce
a desirable outcome (Bandura, 1977). Self-efficacy makes a difference in how
people feel, think, and act. In terms of feeling, a low sense of self-efficacy
for a particular situation is positively related to depression and anxiety.
High self-efficacy for a specific situation allows one to deal better with
uncertainty, distress, and conflict. In terms of thinking, the strong sense of
competence resulting from high self-efficacy facilitates enhanced cognitive processes
and academic performance. Finally, in
terms of action, self-related cognitions are a major ingredient of the
motivation process. Self-efficacy levels can enhance or impede motivation.
People with high self-efficacy in a particular domain of human functioning
choose to perform more challenging tasks. They set higher goals and stick to
them. Actions are
preshaped in thought, and people anticipate either optimistic or pessimistic
expected outcomes of a specific task in line with their level of self-efficacy.
Once an action has been taken, high self-efficacious persons invest more effort
and persist longer than those low in self-efficacy to accomplish a specific
task. When setbacks occur, those with high self-efficacy recover more quickly
and maintain commitment to their goals (Schwarzer, 1992). Self-efficacy
levels for specific cardiovascular health-related behaviors may be an important
determinant of future cardiovascular health. Dietary self-efficacy, physical
activity self-efficacy, and cessation of smoking self-efficacy are among the
examples that will be discussed where self-efficacy for specific health-related
behaviors likely plays a large role in future cardiovascular risk factor
profiles. http://www.workhealth.org/risk/rfbself.html
______________________________________________________________________________ Taking
Plavix With Aspirin Is a Deadly Combination If your
doctor has prescribed taking Plavix along with an aspirin a day to reduce your
risk of a stroke or heart attack, forget
it. That Plavix-aspirin combination almost doubled the
mortality risks of patients who had diabetes and high blood pressure but had
not suffered a heart attack, according to a new study of some 15,000 patients. Adding
Plavix was generally no more effective than taking an aspirin, a result that
surprised researchers. No doubt, it shocked drugmakers Bristol-Myers Squibb and
Sanofi-Aventis too: American physicians wrote 24 million prescriptions for
Plavix alone last year. Researchers
should've expected these kinds of health-harming results, considering Plavix
elevated a patient's risk of developing ulcers by a factor of 12 versus aspirin
and Nexium. Just remember, aspirin isn't a safe, cure-all drug either and,
according to one Harvard pharmacist, probably wouldn't have been approved by
the FDA for over-the-counter use had it debuted today. Your best
alternatives to taking a drug to protect your heart:
