How to Make Body Language Work for You
Our body language can tell the world a lot about us. People draw conclusions about how confident or insecure we may be simply through our gestures and posture. But what does our body language say to us?
According to Amy Cuddy, psychologist and Harvard Business School professor, we can change our outcomes by simply adjusting the way we carry ourselves.
Through Cuddy’s research she has defined what she calls “power poses.” These poses involve making ourselves big, with outstretched arms and legs. This body language can actually change how we feel by increasing our testosterone production, a hormone that gives us energy and confidence, while decreasing our cortisol levels, which is a hormone associated with elevated stress levels.
Cuddy believes that by simply striking a power pose, you can infuse yourself with the confidence and self assurance you need to achieve your goals. She suggests trying these poses before job interviews, speeches or important meetings.
No, you don’t have to strut down the street with your hands in the air. But you can find a private space to strike a power pose that Cuddy suggests will inject you with the confidence boost that you need to carry yourself successfully through each day.

U.S. Women Delay Motherhood
As American women continue to delay parenthood, rates of teenage births and births for women in their early 20s are at all-time lows, federal health officials reported Friday.
U.S. women have their first baby at age 25.6 on average, according to 2011 figures released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This is up slightly from 2010 and significantly older than the 1970 average of 21.4 years.
Births to girls 15 to 19 declined 8 percent between 2010 and 2011, and births to women 20 to 24 years old dropped 3 percent to a record low, the CDC report stated.
"If this [trend] results in more births being planned and intended it is difficult to object to it," said Dr. Jeffrey Ecker, director of Obstetrical Clinical Research and Quality Assurance at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
"If we are talking about a shift from early 20s to late 20s or early 30s, the expectation is that outcomes would be safe and healthy. The message isn‘t that it‘s fine to wait until a woman is in her late 30s or 40s to think about becoming pregnant," added Ecker, who is also chair of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists‘ Committee on Obstetric Practice.
As women get older it is more difficult to become pregnant, Ecker said, adding that the likelihood of miscarriage and other complications also increases.
Overall, 3.9 million U.S. births were reported in 2011, representing the lowest general birth rate since 1998 -- 63.2 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 -- and 1 percent less than in 2010, the CDC reported.
Birth rates were unchanged for women aged 30 to 34 but rose for women 35 to 44.
Births to unmarried women declined in 2011 for the third year in a row -- down another 2 percent from 2010.
Experts found good news in the report.
In terms of health, highlights are a leveling off of cesarean births and the continued decline in the preterm birth rate, said lead author Joyce Martin, an epidemiologist at CDC‘s National Center for Health Statistics, Division of Vital Statistics, Reproductive Statistics.
In 2011 the rate of cesarean delivery remained about the same as the year before -- nearly 33 percent of all births. Previously, the number of women undergoing C-sections had increased steadily, jumping 60 percent from 1996 to 2009.
Meanwhile, the rate of preterm deliveries (before 37 weeks) dropped in 20
11 for the fifth straight year to 11.7 percent of all births, down 2 percent from 2010 and 8 percent from its high in 2006.
The rate of babies born at a low birth weight in 2011 was 8.10 percent -- down somewhat from 8.15 percent in 2010 and 2 percent lower than the 2006 peak of 8.26 percent.
Other notable findings: Multiple births were relatively unchanged in recent years. Twins accounted for 33.2 per 1,000 total births in 2011.
Births of triplets and more also remained unchanged at 137 per 100,000.
Dr. Mitchell Maiman, chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at Staten Island University Hospital in New York City, said he expects that women will continue to postpone childbirth.
"More and more women are not only in the workforce, but more women are the primary breadwinner in the family," he said.
"So you are going to have more women who are delaying childbearing to enhance their careers. And you have amazing technology to enable them to accomplish that," Maiman said. "You are going to see older and older mothers."

Recipe: Thai Turkey Burgers
Photo by Angela Simpson
What You’ll Need:
1 pound (about 454g) extra-lean ground turkey1 lime, zested
¼ cup whole-grain bread or cracker crumbs
½ cup grated carrot
1-2 tablespoons green curry paste (1 if you want a little heat, 2 if you want more!)
1 tablespoons fish sauce or low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
What to Do:
- Preheat grill, grill pan, or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and use a burger press (or your hands) to form the mixture into four equal-sized patties. Put a small depression in the middle of each patty, which will help it to stay flat (rather than puff up) when cooking.
- Grill for 5-6 minutes per side over medium heat, or until no longer pink in the middle.
- Serve in whole-grain pitas or buns with Ginger-Lime Asian Slaw, sliced avocado, and fresh sprouts (if desired).
- If you want to prepare a quick sauce for your burger, combine 1 tablespoon plain fat-free yogurt with 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce. Add a few pinches of stevia for a sweet-and-spicy flavor.

Ice cream sandwiches recipes for Fourth of July
We could spend a lot of time fussing about who invented the ice-cream sandwich and when. Or we could get on with it and make some. For the Fourth of July _ and the rest of the summer.
You could use your ice-cream maker to make the cool stuff at home, with coaching from Tessa Arias‘ book "Cookies & Cream: Hundreds of Ways to Make the Perfect Ice Cream Sandwich" (Running Press, $18). Maybe her recipe for strawberry cream cheese or caramel chocolate swirl? Or a cookie from her dozens of recipes _ maybe salted macadamia nut or bacon chocolate chip?
Don‘t have an ice-cream maker? No problem. Just sub premium ice cream for the homemade, as Donna Egan does in "Ice Cream Sandwiches: 65 Recipes for Incredibly Cool Treats" (Ten Speed Press, $16.99). Her book offers lots of ice-cream recipes but also ideas for doctoring purchased ice cream, such as swirling butterscotch sauce into vanilla for smooshing between snickerdoodles.
So get creative. Mix and match cookies with ice creams. Maybe customize plain ice cream with mix-ins. Scoop ice cream on a cookie. Top with another. Enjoy. We‘ve got a cookie recipe to get you started, plus plenty of ice-cream-sandwich-making tips.
___
COOKIES
Pick a favorite cookie recipe. Drop cookies are easy to work with, says Arias, who uses a 2-tablespoon, spring-loaded ice-cream scoop, then rolls the scooped dough in her hands to smooth before flattening slightly and baking. Try: chocolate chip, oatmeal, peanut butter or gingersnap cookies.
Egan uses brownies (chocolate or butterscotch baked in larger pans so they‘re thinner), plus madeleines, meringues and coconut macaroons.
Or purchase good-quality cookies.
ICE CREAM
Choose a premium ice cream or gelato (Haagen-Dazs Limoncello, Ben & Jerry‘s Chocolate Peppermint Crunch _ you get the idea).
Choose a flavor that complements the cookie. A few ideas: coffee-flavored ice cream with cinnamon cookies; lemon with shortbread cookies.
Use two small scoops of different, but complementary flavors of ice cream, says Arias.
MIX-INS
Choose a plain premium ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, coffee). Then soften 1 quart in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. Turn into a bowl, then use a knife to swirl in about 1/2 cup of mix-ins. Maybe coffee ice cream plus caramel sauce and mini-chocolate chips. Or vanilla ice cream with seedless raspberry preserves and chopped toasted almonds.
Choose one or two mix-ins from these categories:
Sauces: Caramel, fudge, seedless fruit preserves
Crunch: Toasted nuts (pecans, almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts)
Sweet: Chocolate chips, coconut, coarsely chopped candies
DECORATE
Dip edge of finished sandwiches in melted chocolate. Roll in decorating sprinkles, crushed candies, tiny chips (chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter), coconut, chopped nuts. Arias suggests: crushed pretzels, crumbled bacon.
Wrap frozen sandwiches in cooking parchment or food-safe decorative paper, says Arias, and tie with raffia or ribbon.
FREEZE
Freeze prepared sandwiches an hour or two to firm.
For longer storage, wrap in plastic wrap. Store up to a week.
To serve, let stand at room temperature 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly.
___
COCOA COOKIES
Prep: 20 minutes
Bake: 9 to 10 minutes per batch
Freeze: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Makes: About 18 cookies, enough for 9 sandwiches
Adapted from "Cookies & Cream," by Tessa Arias. The dough is somewhat sticky; we found it easier to handle after chilling it for 30 minutes.
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until smooth and well combined, 1-2 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. On low speed, gradually add flour mixture; beat until combined. Refrigerate, 30 minutes.
Drop 2 tablespoon-size balls of dough onto parchment-paper lined baking sheets. Slightly flatten each. Bake 9-10 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through baking. Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes; transfer to wire racks. Cool completely. Freeze cookies until firm, at least 1 hour.
To assemble, top 1 cookie with a scoop of slightly softened ice cream. Top with another cookie. Gently press down to form a sandwich. Wrap the sandwich in parchment or wax paper; freeze immediately. Repeat with remaining cookies. Freeze at least 1 hour before serving.
Alicia Silverstone Starts Breast Milk Bank for Vegans
Jason Merritt/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- If there’s one thing actress Alicia Silverstone isn’t Clueless about, it’s promoting her ideas about healthy living. She’s been an advocate for the raw food diet, pre-chewing her infant son Bear’s food, and now, she’s helping a special group of mothers who can’t breastfeed.
She’s launching a breast milk sharing project for vegans only, for women who can’t breastfeed but would like their babies to get breast milk from moms who eat zero animal products.
Silverstone, 36, writes on her blog, The Kind Life, “Because we are a community of beautiful souls who recognize the importance of food as health, I say we help support those mamas and babies who need a hand during one of the most important times in their lives. It’s why I’m starting the Kind Mama Milk Share, a way for moms to connect with other moms in their area. If you have milk to share -- post it! If you are in need of milk–post it! Think of all the babies we can help raise together!”
Silverstone says her breast milk brainchild was the inspiration of Rachel Holtzman, a vegan friend who had breast reduction surgery a few years before her pregnancy and was having trouble making milk for her newborn son, Levi.
“You’re in this incredibly vulnerable place,” Holtzman, 31, of Brooklyn, N.Y., told ABC News. “I sought out vegan breast milk, because I come to this from a food is medicine standpoint.”
So Holtzman reached out to Silverstone for help, and donations poured in.
“Women have just been incredibly generous and I’m hoping that with their help, we’ll be able to keep Levi exclusively breast-fed for as long as possible,” said Holtzman.
Some experts say while Silverstone’s heart is in the right place, her breast milk sharing initiative should include screening the milk for diseases.
“In an ideal world, breastfeeding is fantastic,” said Dr. Joanne Stone, the Maternal Fetal Medicine Fellowship director at Mount Sinai medical center. “It really promotes excellent health for a newborn, but unscreened breast milk has a lot of concerns, such as the transmission of viruses such as HIV, hepatitis, and bacteria such as syphilis.”
Silverstone wouldn’t comment, but Holtzman feels that taking into account the breast milk donor’s lifestyle is key.
“Instead of having to ask really probing, very personal questions, going to a place like The Kind Life, took that out of the equation and we could make the safe assumption that the person on the donating end values those things as much as we did,” Holtzman said.

A Man's Diet and Health Needs
Finding it a challenge to balance the demands of your career, family, friends, working out, and staying healthy? Well if you answered yes, you are not alone. It is not easy to find enough hours in a day or to even begin to understand which things should be on the top of your priority list. Truth is you often need to take a step back to realize that when you put yourself and your health first, the rest will fall into place.
For most men putting their health first sounds like an oxymoron, since they spend a majority of their day at the office trying to make money and build a career. But the bottom line is, they need to start by recognizing that in order to succeed they can not neglect their health, inside and out. In fact when we look at the leading causes of death for a male, we find that 4 of the 10 are directly related to diet. They include: cancer, heart disease, stroke and diabetes. In fact heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in the United States, responsible for one in 4 deaths. And while we know that you may not die from these all, they will definitely affect your work, family and lifestyle.
So what is a man to do? First off it is essential that a man have a yearly physical to rule out any medical conditions, be educated on any risk factors and learn how to get a clean bill of health. Next step is to take a look at your diet intake and see if you are stuck in the “steak and potato” or “clean plate club” mode. Either of these will need a little fixing.
A male truly needs to be sure to have a diet that is full of whole grains, biologically available protein, fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats. It is important that men recognize that whole grains, typically those high in fiber, will help to control cholesterol and reduce risks of colon cancer, both of which are prevalent in males. Whole grains also allow for longer concentration and energy, which will lead to increased productivity on the job.
Protein is essential for muscles, and since the male body contains a higher proportion of muscle mass, they will need to meet their bodies needs. We also know that protein will allow for satiety, helping to keep you at an acceptable BMI.
Fruits and vegetables are essential for men and women alike, to provide the body with minerals and vitamins, along with antioxidants critical in the fight against cancer. For the male these foods rich lycopene, vitamin E, and folate will be protective against prostate cancer. Additionally vitamin A rich food will help strengthen tissues of the eyes and other membranes, vitamin B will give greater energy and vitamin C will help immune system.
Unsaturated fats, such as olive oil, fish, nuts and avocado are the preferred fats, as these are not linked to heart disease. Fat is necessary for body temperature, brain development and digestion so enjoy these as a healthy part of your diet. It is the saturated fats that are linked to heart disease and cholesterol so when it comes to fatty meats and fatty foods, use these sparingly.
Diet does not stand alone, its counterpart exercise is just as important. Spending 6, 8, 10 hours a day behind your desk does not do your body well. It is critical that time is devoted to an active lifestyle. All studies show that a half hour a day of exercise reduces the risk of heart disease, among other illnesses. Whether it is heading to the gym, roller blading, basketball pick up game with the guys, or biking with your kids, it is time to get moving. Many companies are even putting gyms at the work place to support the need to keep employees healthier and more productive at work.
As men approach their fifties they also need to be aware of hormone deficiencies, in things like testosterone, that can further impact muscle tone, libido, cholesterol, fatigue and much more. This “andropause”, aka male menopause, is often a well kept secret and not truly understood without diagnosis. Perhaps it is more than long hours at work that are making you not feel so great after all. Don’t be afraid to check it out because even the symptoms of andropause can be relieved.
Being conscious of your own mental health, along with diet and fitness, will help you to feel more in control of your quality of life. Start there and the time you spend in and out of the office or with family and friends will become a lot easier to manage.

As Cheerleading Evolves, Injuries Mount
Cheerleading is definitely not your grandmother‘s pastime anymore, injury experts warn, but rather a highly competitive activity that‘s light on the pom-poms and heavy on risky daredevil acrobatics.
The not-surprising result: Cheerleading injuries are on the rise.
"Over the past few decades, cheerleading has evolved from leading the crowd in cheers at sporting events to a competitive, year-round activity featuring complex acrobatic stunts performed by a growing number of athletes," said Dr. Cynthia LaBella, medical director of the Institute for Sports Medicine at the Ann & Robert Lurie Children‘s Hospital of Chicago. "As a result, the number and severity of injuries from cheerleading has also surged."
"Relatively speaking, the overall injury rate is low compared to other girls‘ sports, such as soccer and basketball," LaBella said. "But despite the lower overall injury rate, cheerleading accounts for a disproportionate number -- 60 percent to 70 percent -- of all the catastrophic injuries in girls‘ high school sports. That is an area of concern and needs attention for improving safety."
LaBella, who is also an associate professor of pediatrics at the Northwestern University Steinberg School of Medicine, was scheduled to discuss the issue Thursday at the annual meeting of the National Athletic Trainers‘ Association, in Las Vegas.
According to a policy statement issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) last fall, the number of students aged 6 and up who engaged in cheerleading either at school or as members of offsite competitive squads skyrocketed from just 600,000 students in 1990 to somewhere between 3 million and 3.6 million in 2003.
The vast majority of participants -- 96 percent -- are girls, according to the AAP, and what these girls are now asked to do goes far beyond the stereotypical image of fun-loving dance routines. Rather, girls must routinely execute taxing feats of gymnastic prowess, with sequences that involve tumbling, leaping, jumping, tossing and human-pyramid building.
What‘s more, "injury rates increase with age and skill level, due to more complex stunts being performed at these levels," LaBella said.
The result has been a notable increase in the frequency with which cheerleaders fall, sometimes from great heights. A range of limb, head, neck and trunk injuries, as well as sprains and strains, can ensue, with some -- such as concussions -- being serious enough to require medical attention.
It is no longer unheard of to see cheerleading participants leave the field of play having suffered permanently disabling or even fatal catastrophic injuries.
"For those who have not seen cheerleading in 20 years, it really would be an eye-opener," said Lisa Kluchorosky, a sports medicine administrator at Nationwide Children‘s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. "So many [people] still think it‘s the world of Annette Funicello. But cheerleading has gone from a more recreational, more supportive kind of role to being very competitive and very athletic, which means that the demands placed on these kids are really enormous.
"And the skill level and the types of stunts they are doing have gone up tremendously, as they have with most sports over the years," Kluchorosky added.
With this new reality in mind, the AAP now takes the position that state athletic associations should move to classify cheerleading as a sport, in order to ensure that the activity is treated in the same manner as all other traditional contact athletics.
"Cheerleading is still not considered a sport in many states, and it very much should be," said Kluchorosky, who is the National Athletic Trainers‘ Association liaison to the AAP.
"If it were designated as such, it would be subject to the rules of all other sports, which means participants would be afforded the same resources and health care, and held to the same regulations."
For example, under a sports designation, cheerleaders would have to engage in strength and conditioning programs during both competition and preseason periods. Practice time would be regulated, and training facilities certified as safe.
Participants also would have access to onsite medical staff when needed, all of whom would be prepped with detailed emergency medical plans.
As part of a recognized sport, cheerleading coaches, in turn, would have to be certified as to their proficiency in teaching key cheerleading skills, such as spotting techniques.
Beyond that, the AAP further recommended placing specific boundaries on the kinds of activities cheerleaders can be asked to do, including limiting human pyramids to a certain height and banning tumbling on hard surfaces that lack appropriate landing matting.
"There‘s still some of the feeling out there that [cheerleading] is not a real sport," Kluchorosky said. "But it is. And we‘re talking about real risks, so we have to try to move the needle forward and deal with it appropriately."
