We have already explored the various medical interventions that are available for those dealing with various addictions, focusing primarily on nicotine, alcohol, and various categories of drug dependency. Pill However, we must realize that medical intervention is only 50% of the battle we face when dealing with our individual inner demons.  In order to fully conquer our vices and move forward with our lives, it is critical that we  want,  in our own hearts and minds, to put a stop to our destructive addictions. Unfortunately, as anyone who has had an addiction in the past will testify to, it is not even just a case of wanting to give something up.  How many times have we read or heard stories in the media, or even spoken to friends or family members who have told us the following: “I WANT to give up cigarettes/alcohol/drugs, but I just cannot do it.” As we have discussed previously, it is easy at that stage for someon

  Is your bodyweight linked to where you live? A new study, released at the end of January in the International Journal of Obesity [1] , suggests that where we live could play a key role in whether or not we are overweight.  Unfortunately, there is a scientific side to it, it is not as simple as saying, “People who live close to a McDonald’s or Taco Bell are more likely to eat those foods on a regular basis, therefore are more likely to be overweight.” While there probably is a study in existence somewhere – Morgan Spurlock’s 2004 documentary  Super Size Me  does not count – that makes that point, the current paper, from the from Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, is linked to the altitude at which we live.  More specifically, it says that those who live at altitude are up to five times less likely to be overweight or obese in comparison to individuals living at ground level.

Family Members & Friends As we already know, opening up to family members or friends about our addictions can be hugely difficult.  This will often be born out of how we feel ourselves in relation to our condition, and what we perceive will b
