If  your goal is total health it is essential to incorporate stress reduction methods into your daily "better health" routine.
 
We readily accept medication and advice on how to treat body malfunctions but most of us neglect our brain processes and our mental fitness impact on our health. 

The word stress has become a mainstream medical term for what is ailing you. It is now interchangeable with any other causes of illness and considered a major factor in disease or "dishealth". 

So much has been learned regarding our mental status and how it affects our physical health and well being. It is well accepted that worry, depression, and anxiety all have a negative impact on our overall health.

With this in mind it is crucial that we include stress reduction, mindfulness, yoga, and meditation in any discussion of of true health and fitness.

Dr Krantz and like minded colleagues offer consultations to patients and families on how to incorporate these methods into their approach to better health.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that a recent outbreak of E. coli in multiple states was linked to romaine lettuce grown in Yuma, Arizona.

“Information collected to date indicates that chopped romaine lettuce from the Yuma, Arizona growing region could be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 and could make people sick,” the CDC said in an update on Friday.

The CDC said that no brand, distributor or supplier has been identified in connection with the E. coli outbreak. But it said that anyone who has bought romaine lettuce or salad mixes that contain romaine lettuce should throw it away, and ask restaurants if the romaine lettuce is from the Yuma region. The CDC also advised restaurants against selling any romaine lettuce from Yuma.

The CDC said Thursday that it was investigating an E. coli outbreak across at least seven states; that number increased Friday to 11 states. The outbreak has infected 35 people, 22 of whom have been hospitalized. Three have developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a form of kidney failure.
