While many health care workers are aware that there is a link between some physical illnesses and nutritional deficiencies, not many people are aware that mental disorders also have a nutrition link. Most believe that mental illnesses are strictly emotional and have no metabolic or biochemical association. Nutrition, however, may play a greater role in depression than is widely known. Some researchers believe that nutrition can play a key role, both in the onset, severity, and duration of depression, including daily mood swings.

The retiring generation of baby boomers need more and not less nursing services. Yet when a cohort of retirees join a local population usually there is a time lag before enough number of nurses can graduate from local programs or can be recruited from the outside. That timing lag also contributes to local shortages of nurses.

At the bottom of the supply chain, the number of qualified instructors and the state laws that regulate the student-instructor ratios is another reason why retiring nurses cannot be replaced rapidly.

Training nurses is one of the most labor-intensive educational processes, as it should be.

The health and medical communities have long acknowledged the benefits of a daily multi-vitamin, particularly for those over the age of 50. Even Medicare has noted decreased costs in caring for patients who take daily multi-vitamins.

I got a question this week from a triathlete struggling to build up mileage on his triathlon bike. This is a common challenge for triathletes. The trick here is to build mileage slowly and consistently. Here are some tips:

Remember to consult your physician before starting any fitness program.
