My Picks for the Best Health Articles Written by Associated Content Producers in 2007

Health-related issues are big news these days, especially as many of us round the bend from our 40s to our 50s. There have been many articles I have found especially informative this year, and this is my way of recognizing those who have contributed meaningful articles on this great site.

Helpful Natural Remedies for Psoriasis I found this particularly useful as I am a sufferer of this itchy miserable disease, and the thought of cortisone shots and their side effects was not comforting. The author had some great ideas which have helped me to relieve the misery!

Psoriasis: An Indicator of Systemic Problems was another article that was full of information, and quite useful!

What Can Tea Do for You? Discover Some of its Major Health Benefits This article inspired me to hang up the coffee and start enjoying tea again. And miraculously, I found myself with more energy, and beginning to lose weight again. I highly recommend that everyone who is looking to increase metabolic rate read this article.

How to Increase Your Metabolism By Eating a Healthy Breakfast Years of hearing my mother preach this to me meant that I knew this was important, yet my busy lifestyle led to too many mornings running out the door with no breakfast at all. After reading this article, I began to eat a bowl of oatmeal every morning with no sugar - amazingly, I got more done during the day and didn't run out of energy by mid afternoon.

Abortion and Stem Cell Research - Taking a Step Forward I suspect that this article received low ratings as it was painful to read, but it tells a painful truth. Millions of babies, children and others can be saved or live a more meaningful life if we can pull the religious right wingers out of the way and examine the facts - and research, scientifically instead of emotionally. I own stock in a stem cell company, and I am pushing for this great step forward as are many other notable Republicans.
