"With eyes closed, sitting upright comfortably with both feet on the floor and hands on the lap—or while lying down, arms at your sides—take a deep breath, sending it right down into your lower abdomen, filling it like a balloon. Then allow more breath in and fill up your chest. Hold for a moment. Then let the breath go. Now, take an even deeper breath, deeper, deeper. Fill up your abdomen and your entire chest with it. Now release the breath, letting go of any tightness or tension. Take an even deeper breath, deeper, deeper, and release it, releasing with the breath any tension." - Ralph Golan, M.D., Optimal Wellness (Get the book.)

"Close your eyes and take 10 deep breaths: first 5 in and out of your nose; second 5 in through your nose and out through your mouth. If you're alone, throw your arms up into the air and exclaim from deep inside with lots of breath, "Aarggh." Repeat four or five times. Standing up straight with feet shoulder-width apart, starting with your hands, clench all your muscles tight (hands to arms to shoulders to neck to jaw then clenching stomach to legs to feet) and hold for a count of 3. Release, bending forward into a shrug until you are completely limp. Repeat." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Tips for Using Eggplant SELECTION AND STORAGE: • Look for firm, shiny, smooth, deep purple skin. Avoid eggplant with cracked or shriveled skin, and stay away from brown, blue, or yellow eggplants. • Eggplant is best used right away, but may be kept in the refrigerator's crisper drawer for up to one week. PREPARATION AND SERVING SUGGESTIONS: • The skin can be peeled with a potato peeler or it may be kept on. • To tenderize the eggplant and remove some of the bitter flavor, sprinkle the eggplant with salt, let it sit for 30 minutes, and then wash the salt off." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"You lie back on your lounge chair and say, "I deserve it" You draw in a deep breath and relax. It feels so great. You want to go in the water, so you get up lazily and wade into the water, and it's delightful. Maybe you splash and swim around a little. This is the kind of day where there is nothing to do but have a good time, and so you do. You take a little nap, and afterward, you think of the restaurant. It smells pretty darn good, and you stroll into the restaurant to have a magnificent meal. After that, you say, "What the heck; I'm going to have a massage'." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) "It doesn't matter if it's slow and deep or rapid and shallow. Let the breath do whatever it wants, but observe it closely. If you're a beginner, do this for about three minutes while not allowing any other thought to distract you. If something does distract you, (a sound, a feeling in your body, or a concern, for example), gently return your attention to your breath as it flows in and out. Figure 7 Next, for the length of the out-breath only, mentally say to yourself the word "Om" (pronounced atvm). Om is a remarkable sound." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) "I would go into deep meditation daily where I would focus on healing both my physical heart and my emotional pain. Sometimes this exploration would bring me to tears. I continued to meditate in this way for about a year. I lowered my blood pressure, stopped feeling pain in my chest, and increased my endurance. At about that time, I went for a cardiac stress test and when it was over, my cardiologist said, "Wow, Rick, your heart is functioning at the level of a professional athlete. It looks like you avoided the family curse." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"As the plane descends into Montreal's airport, a bubble-butt of a coco-de-mer throbbing in my checked luggage, I take a deep breath, trying to steady my mildly irregular heartbeat. Staring at the declaration form, I consider lying. In the event of a search, I reason, I could try to convince them that it's a sculpture—some sort of exotic erotic folk craft. I then realize that the permits would inculpate me were the nut to be unwrapped. So I check the box, still uncertain what to say." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Just take a deep breath," the surgeon intoned. It was my first disobedient act against the medical community. I held my breath for all I was worth. But within seconds I understood the terrible truth: I had lost. I inhaled the dreadful stuff. Then falling, falling... Then I was awake, puking, too sick to claim my long-promised and long-awaited reward of unlimited ice cream. Later, in college organic chemistry, the smell of ether always made me ill. That's probably why the class was so difficult for me. Later still, I learned that my surgery was almost certainly "unnecessary." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"There are black-skinned Gilliflower apples, ivory hued White Transparents, orange-fleshed Apricot apples, and others with deep red interiors. A few summers ago, in the heirloom apple orchard at Vancouver's Strathcona park, I came across a nacreous apple identified by its tag as a Pink Pearl. As I cut out the first neat slice for some friends, we all gasped: its flesh was bright pink. Every time we eat a fruit, we're tasting forgotten histories. Emperors, tsars, kings and queens used to prize fruits." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "They look like oversized deep purple grapes, matching his pants. Because the fruit grows directly on the tree trunk like some sort of sweet fungus, the best way to eat one is a "jaboticaba kiss." In Brazil, kids sneak into other people's backyards and kiss them off the trees. Brazilian writer Monteiro Lobato describes the sound of a jaboticaba kiss as "plock, pluff, pituy." Jaitt shows me a rollinia tree whose head-sized fruits taste like lemon meringue pie. Nearby are two small trees he's especially excited about: the peanut butter fruit and the blackberry-jam fruit. " - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Choose spinach with stems that have no signs of yellowing and vibrant, deep green leaves. • Unwashed spinach should be packed loosely in a plastic bag and placed in the refrigerator crisper where it will remain fresh and retain its nutrient content for about four days. • Use cooked spinach the next day. • Frozen spinach retains more of its nutrients because it is flash-frozen. PREPARATION AND SERVING SUGGESTIONS: • Trim and wash spinach very well as the leaves and stems tend to collect soil and sand. • Remove any noticeably thick stems to allow more even cooking." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) "CANCER: deep yellow-orange vegetables and fruits are rich in beta-carotene, which may protect cell membranes and DNA from oxidative damage. A cell line study examined the anticancer activity of mango and found that it interrupted phases of growth throughout the life cycle of the tumor cell. Dont Throw Me an Anvil! Mangoes, when combined with blood-thinning medication, may make your blood too thin! Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or a registered dietitian about including mangoes in your diet. Tips on Using Mango SELECTION AND STORAGE: CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE MANGO'S GOT COOKIN'?" - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) "Tips on Using Blackberries SELECTION AND STORAGE: • Look for deep, even color with a glossy look to the berries. • Look for dents or bruising as this will cause berries to deteriorate quickly. • Keep them refrigerated. They can only be kept for one to three days and taste best when consumed immediately. PREPARATION AND SERVING SUGGESTIONS: • Wash blackberries in cold water just before using. If you decide to freeze them, wash them in cold water and immediately place them in a freezer-safe container. • Eat blackberries plain, in yogurt or cereal, or put them in a fruit salad." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"These films and others like them tapped into a deep well of resentment over what was happening to medicine. Patients hated having to switch doctors all the time. They disliked being forced to go to their primary care doctors to get a referral to a specialist. Half the time, they didn't even like their primary care doctor, a person whose name they had chosen off a list and whom they had known only since the last time their employer had changed managed care plans." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "The researchers had to dig deep into the medical records of their Medicare patients to extract information not only about how much was spent on their care but also about any "comorbidities," other conditions they had that might influence their outcomes. The team looked at what procedures and tests patients underwent; which drugs they took; and whether or not their health was improved by any of it. They even looked at socioeconomic status, which can independently affect health outcomes." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Doing this typically requires a few modifications to your lifestyle and diet, which help reduce your exposure to toxins and aid in your body's expulsions of current toxins hiding out deep in the body. As will be highlighted in the Detox Diet, foods that help optimize natural detox physiology include: broccoli, cauliflower, garlic, onions, egg, and most vegetables; high-fiber legumes and grains; and high-quality probiotics. As our chief cleansing organ, the liver dismantles or transforms both inner and outer substances so that they can be safely eliminated from the body." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"It was erupting from the skin of the upper right quadrant of her right breast and simultaneously penetrating deep between her ribs and into her right lung. One of the largest tumors Peters would ever see in his career, it was far too big to be removed surgically. "It was the size of a muskmelon," Peters would later recall. "It was a terrible circumstance." Diane would almost certainly be dead in a matter of months. Peters described for his new patient the outlines of the bold experiment that he hoped she would be willing to try." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Some of the most popular medicines in Iowa were those that brightened, calmed, or otherwise altered the public's moods. A deep melancholy seemed to have crept across the farmland and prairie, or so it seemed on the basis of the rising prescriptions for antidepressants and other mood-altering drugs. In 2003 Wellmark, the state's largest health insurer, announced that the number of antidepressant prescriptions written for those it insured in Iowa and South Dakota had risen by more than 90 percent in just four years." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Without treatment, reflux can result in sinus and ear infections, throat lesions, and Barrett's esophagus, a peptic ulcer in the lower esophagus, which can lead to esophageal cancer. A deep, gravelly voice, especially in women, is often a dead giveaway of heavy smoking, now or in the past. Indeed, many women who smoke are mistaken for men over the phone. Whether you're a man or a woman, smoking can cause your vocal cords to thicken, giving you the characteristic "smoker's voice." Smoker's voice is often a sign of Reinke's edema, a swelling of the vocal cords rarely seen in nonsmokers." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) "Our visible body parts, especially our hair, eyes, teeth, skin, and nails, can be read as evidence of diseases and disorders that are progressing deep beneath the surface. Sorting through the multitude of signs requires a great deal of detective work and often more than one detective. That's where you—and Body Signs—come in. WHAT BODY SIGNS COVERS Body Signs explores a myriad of signs, some benign, some bad, and some merely bizarre. It covers everything from the head and shoulders to the knees and toes and everything in between." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) "Being cooped up causes blood to pool in the legs' deep veins, setting the stage for dangerous clotting. STOP SIGN No matter how long or short your plane flight is, get up and walk around periodically. This can help ward off DVT. Wearing support stockings or socks, especially on long flights, can also help prevent this potentially deadly condition. Women on hormone replacement therapy or those taking birth control pills are at increased risk of developing these deadly clots, as are pregnant women." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Conscious Breathing We've already discussed how deep breathing can help alleviate physical stress. By becoming more aware of your breathing patterns and taking deeper, fuller breaths whenever you notice tension building up within you, you can also release feelings of anxiety, anger, fear, and sorrow, as well as increase energy and alertness. Breathing in this manner is sometimes referred to as conscious breathing because it involves truly paying attention to your breathing process and to the thoughts and emotions that arise during that process." - Shari Lieberman, Alan Xenakis, Mineral Miracle: Stopping Cartilage Loss & Inflammation Naturally (Get the book.)

"By the summer of 532, Isidore could announce to his emperor that a rectangulat trench 234 feet long and 195 feet wide marked the outline of the corners and walls of Justinian's new church, and work could begin in earnest, pounding the ground-level piers twenty feet deep into Constantinople's bedrock. Those piers, on which the entire building would stand, have become legendary for their strength. Writing his panegyric to Justinian-the-Builder, Procopius wrote: The [piers] were held together neither by lime . . . not by asphalt . . ." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"I explained to Shirley that estrogen dominance can cause weight gain and bloating, and that deep abdominal tissue has up to four times the number of Cortisol receptors than any other area of the body. When the body is under stress, the cells in the abdomen are the most aggressive in responding to increased Cortisol levels. The result is a biochemically driven accumulation of extra abdominal flab." - C. W.

"They presented a terrifying aspect to the fourth-century soldier-turned-historian Ammianus Marcellinus, who wrote of them, From the moment of birth they make deep gashes in their children's cheeks, so that when in due course hair appears its growth is checked by the wrinkled scars; as they grow older this gives them the unlovely appearance of beardless eunuchs. They have squat bodies, strong limbs, and thick necks, and are so prodigiously ugly and bent that they might be two-legged animals, or the figures crudely carved from stumps which are seen on the parapets of bridges." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) "In close ranks five hundred armed and armored troops would make a line four or five files deep, the entire width of the Hippodrome floor, and Mundus and Belisarius disposed of at least that many men at either end of the arena. The two battalion-sized units needed to traverse only a few hundred meters before they met in the middle of the killing ground, by all accounts looking like nothing so much as a modern threshing machine sweeping through wheat. It was, not surprisingly, a massacre; even given the tendency to exaggeration in the numbers of every ancient battle, the death toll was gigantic." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) "All rhat temains from the great palace built by Khusro is the Taq-e-kisra, or Great Arch of Ctesiphon, 115 feet high and 82 feet wide, and 150 feet deep, which until the construction of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis was the largest unsupported parabolic arch in the world, and is still the widest span of unsupported brick. The Taq had served as entry into the palace's gteat hall or ayvan, one of rwo such,* each roofed with a barrel-vaulr. The floor was covered by a huge silk carpet, nearly three hundred feet long, illusttating a garden, and embroidered with gold and pearls." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"With a sly, baby-faced smile and cocked eyebrow, Benjamin is soft-spoken but has a deep knowledge of Cameroon's plants. As we stroll about the grounds of the living gene bank, he explains how many of these indigenous trees have become raw materials for the international pharmaceutical industry. The African cherry is marketed in pill form to treat prostate illness. The Ancistrocladus korupensis, discovered in 1987 by American bio-prospectors seeking cancer medication in the nearby Korup forest, contains an anti-HIV compound called Michellamine b that is in preclinical development." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Specialists had to command a deep well of knowledge about their particular corner of the body, but primary care doctors, along with emergency room physicians, were expected to master broad swaths of information. They also had to possess the qualities that both physicians and patients once valued, including compassion, the ability to listen, and the intelligence to look at a constellation of symptoms and test results and then put their finger on the right diagnosis." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"In another study, Italian researchers used a nattokinase supplement to reduce thrombotic events such as deep vein thrombosis among high-risk individuals with thrombophilia during and after prolonged airline flights. Blood coagulability increases during long air travel and blood flow slows down, especially in the lower legs. Dehydration and in-flight alcohol exacerbate the situation. Our Recommendations Nattokinase and lumbrokinase have a great future in both preventing and treating atherosclerotic buildup." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)
