Real Life Issues On Talk Shows
Most TV talk shows depict important life issues with real personal
stories. TV shows such as Montel and Maury have produced
hundreds of shows relating to teen violence, suicide, unsolved
murders of family members, AIDS and hate crimes. People affected
by these issues and more write to Montel and other talk shows about
their situations so they can share with others their experiences with
hope of helping someone else. I recently vieweda show on Montel
about an unsolved murder. One of the guests spoke about the worst
day of her life, the day her financee' was shot and killed while at work
by a random gunman and how it affected her life. Many people in the
U.S. are affected by these types of issues and suffer in silence due to
their belief that nobody cares. Those affected by these social issuses
will continue to be victims without TV talk shows such as these. For
the most part, TV shows provide an important view on today's issues
and how they affect everyday people. (Feller, 2005)

The Top Functional Foods of 2010
According to the April 2009 position on functional foods by the
American Dietetic Association (ADA), all foods are functional at some
level, because they provide nutrients that furnish energy, sustain
growth, or maintain and repair vital processes. While the "functional
food" category, per se, is not officially recognized by the Food and
Drug Administration, the ADA considers functional foods to be whole
foods and fortified, enriched, or enhanced foods that have a potentially
beneficial effect on health. Thus a list of functional foods might be as
varied as nuts, calcium-fortified orange juice, energy bars, bottled teas
and gluten-free foods. While many functional foods—from whole grain
breads to wild salmon—provide obvious health benefits, other
functional foods like acai berry or "brain development" foods may
make overly optimistic promises. Thus, it’s important to evaluate each
functional food on the basis of scientific evidence before you buy into
their benefits.

10 Things to Hate About Sleep Loss
Most people have experienced sallow skin and puffy eyes after a few
nights of missed sleep. But it turns out that chronic sleep loss can lead
to lackluster skin, fine lines, and dark circles under the eyes.
When you don’t get enough sleep, your body releases more of the
stress hormone cortisol. In excess amounts, cortisol can break down
skin collagen, the protein that keeps skin smooth and elastic.

Laughter the Medicine 
Laughter is one of the greatest healing devices known to man.
Laughter is powerful and can help people in many different ways. It
has the power to cure something as little as a bad day or to heal the
wounds of a terminally ill person. Laughing has helped create the
smile which is the universal sign of well being. Generally, individuals
who do not laugh live miserably and have unhappy lives. Dr. Robert
Holden found out that smiling and laughing releases endorphins in the
brain which gives people a overall happy well being. Using comedy,
many doctors have stimulated the healing process in manic
depressants and fatally ill patients giving them hope and ambition. In
many clinics laughter is being used in replacing anti depressants and
reduces the need for pain killers.(Dr. Gael Crystal). Take comedians
for example, they usually live long and happy lives. Putting a smile on
faces and laughs in souls is what makes life complete. Laughter helps
heal people and brightens spirits for a better and healthier life .
Laughing is a sign of joy and hope and keeps people normal and the
world happy. Using the techniques of laughter and happiness is the
best medicine known to man. Laughter is the universal sign of well
being and happiness within health. Laughing brightens the spirit and
heals the mind and body of people who allow it to overcome them. So
try a smile and laugh on for size and live a longer happier life with
loved ones. (Campos, 2005)

Battle of the Social Network Stars
A major difference between Facebook and Twitter emerges in their
methods of communication. Facebook is, in fact, meant to be more
passive, as Jeff Glasson noted in an early 2008 blog post on the
Social Media Today website. In contrast, Twitter seems a much more
active form of social communication in which the way you talk to
people on the social network emerges as much more conversational.
Twitter has been likened to a giant party where you know no one but
wish to make many friends. In contrast, Facebook would be a wedding
reception filled with family and friends.
When looking at these two tools, one issue comes up quite frequently
—the issue of privacy. Privacy seems paramount to the users of
Facebook, but Twitter users tend to embrace the feeling that
everything is public. Simply look at this difference in the two services:
Facebook gives you friends, while Twitter gives you followers. With
Facebook, you often need some sort of approval to contact another
user while Twitter does not require the same type of approval.
