 Everywhere, USA, January 2012— What do films such as Total Recall, The Notebook, Gothika, Inception, Anastasia, Memento, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind — and The Bourne Trilogy, have in common?
Besides earning big at the box office, they all invoke memory loss as part of their message.
Even though amnesia and other situations that involve memory loss are not common, they’ve been featured often in films, dating back to the pre-1927 silent features.
While most professionals conclude that cinematic depictions of memory loss bear no resemblance to the real thing, filmgoers continue to flock to the theatres when the plot involves memory. www.prevagen.com |

 Hood River, Oregon, December 2011— A good percentage of everybody running around out there are vegetarians, and it used to be that when the end-of-the-year Holidays came around, it was a lonely time for this bunch.
Back in the day, depending on where you’d look, you’ll find this group to be somewhat ostracized, removed from the celebration, left to consume only the side dishes.
But then, in 1995, with the introduction of the Tofurky Roast, Holiday feasting began looking up for vegetarians. www.tofurky.com |

 Salt Lake City, Utah, December 2011— The end of 2011 has seen a flurry of medical studies sharing a common conclusion: sitting at a desk for eight hours a day can be a hazardous occupation.
From Cancer (via The American Institute for Cancer Research, to Alzheimer’s Disease (via the University of California, San Francisco), to Diabetes (via the University of Missouri), the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle have spawned phrases like “death by desk” and given new meaning to “this job is killing me.” http://www.lifespanfitness.com |

 Everywhere USA, December 2011— The holidays are a time for…overeating? Funny as this sounds, it would seem that way, given the latest stats.
Americans gain from 1 to 1 ½ pounds annually during the holiday season, leading health experts to believe that most midlife weight gain comes as a result of poor holiday eating habits.
To help fight holiday weight gain, best-selling author and health expert Dr. Dean Ornish has created this list of 16 Steps to Healthy Holiday Eating. The person who sent us the national release that we formed this article from thought it would be a nice holiday public service post, and we agreed. www.marshealthyliving.com |
