Traditional Chinese medicine has known this for quite awhile, generally looking to the personality of a patient for diagnosis purposes. A variety of illnesses, ranging from chronic fatigue, arthritis, diabetes, asthma and various auto-immune disorders have been shown to be a link between personality traits and health. The main reason for this appears to be the fact that our personality traits tend to determine what causes us stress and how we handle that stress. Stress has an incredibly negative impact on the immune system, dragging it down and making it function poorly. Our personality traits and health often times seem out of our control in this day and age. Far too many people fall back on the common excuse that it is just how I ve always been, when discussing either half of the equation. As an example, we ve all been around people who seem...

Oxygen and water are essential elements for the proper functioning of the body. Water usually contains anywhere between 1 to 10 ppm parts per million of dissolved oxygen. Ponds usually contain the lowest amount. Streams and rivers usually have the highest amount. Tap water in most large cities is usually around 5-7 ppm of dissolved oxygen. In some major cities, the oxygen content can be as low as 9 . An inadequate supply of oxygen is called hypoxia and may cause symptoms such as: lack of energy shortness of breath reduced mental clarity suppressed immune system joint and muscle aches and pains Failure to breathe with the whole lung shallow breathing can reduce the volume of air and oxygen we take in. Pollution and lack of vegetation can reduce the oxygen content of the air we breathe. Emotional stress and physical trauma can also deplete your body of oxygen.
