Healthy Mindframe, Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

I love chocolate so much I even have a bowl of chocolates in my office I eat from almost every day. Now I don’t recommend a bowl of easily accessible sugary treats to be within arms reach while you are trying to work, speaking from personal experience, ahem… but let’s gloss over that for now and instead focus on why eating chocolate in moderation may not be as bad for you as might assume! Most medical studies looking at the health properties of chocolate focus on dark chocolate (for good reason, as dark chocolate is a rich source […]

When skin is injured, it naturally creates a small electric field of DC energy to help guide tissue repair. This DC current allows cells to migrate along that mini electrical field, a healing property called electrotaxis. Many of the cells of the skin required for healing are eelectrotactic, including

Most studies on heart disease focus on the male population, so this one really caught my eye — specifically focusing on the link between heart disease in women with a history of trauma. Looking at almost 400,000 women, researchers identified women diagnosed with PTSD and matched them to age and cardiovascular risk correlated female controls with no history of PTSD. They then looked at ischemic heart disease outcomes, including new onset coronary artery disease, angina or
