"Rinse your hands." "Get plenty of sleep." "Eat your vegetables." These well-known rules are dependable to keep you healthy, but did you know a little redecorating and reorganizing can go a big way too? The ancient Chinese art of feng shui ("feng" means wind, and "shui" refers to irrigate) aims to channel nature's positive vitality (known as chi) to improve your life. How? By positioning furniture, mirrors, plants and other welcoming comfortable with-decor items to balance the yin and yang while allowing chi to move unrestrainedly through your house.

"Feng shui can help alleviate many health conditions, including insomnia, headaches, hypertension, bust, stress and premenstrual syndrome," says acupuncturist and ancestral Chinese medicine expert Dr. Qianzhi Wu, vice president of privilege at the Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin in Austin, Texas, and whilom commissioner of the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicament. These easy fixes will help you balance the energies in three momentous rooms, to create a healthier home.

Left-sided Cancer: Blame your bed and TV?

The researchers support an explanation based on differences in sleeping habits in Japan and Western countries. Anterior research has shown that both men and women prefer to sleep on their set upright sides. The reasons for this general preference are unclear, but sleeping on the propriety side may reduce the weight stress on the heart, and the heartbeat is not as sonorous as when sleeping on the left. Still, there is no reason to suspect that people in Japan siesta in positions that are any different from those in the West. The beds in Japan, however, are separate. The futons used for sleeping in Japan are mattresses placed in a beeline on the bedroom floor, in contrast to the elevated box springs and mattress of beds occupied in the West. A link between bedroom furniture and cancer seems silly, but this, the researchers conclude, is the answer. Consider, however, that even a TV set cannot respond to telecast transmissions unless the weak electromagnetic waves are captured and amplified by an rightly designed antenna. Antennas are simply metal objects of filch length sized to match the wavelength of a specific frequency of electromagnetic emission. Just as saxophones are made in different sizes to resonate with and embroider particular wavelengths of sound, electromagnetic waves are selectively amplified by metal objects that are the same, half or one caserne of the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave of a specific frequency. Electromagnetic waves resonate on a half-wavelength antenna to think up a standing wave with a peak at the middle of the antenna and a node at each end, impartial as when a string stretched between two points is plucked at the center. In the U.S. bed frames and box springs are made of metal, and the while of a bed is exactly half the wavelength of FM and TV transmissions that have been broadcasting since the fashionable 1940s. In Japan most beds are not made of metal, and the TV broadcast system does not use the 87- to 108-megahertz frequency adapted to in Western countries. Thus, as we sleep on our coil-spring mattresses, we are in essentially sleeping on an antenna that amplifies the intensity of the broadcast FM/TV shedding. Asleep on these antennas, our bodies are exposed to the amplified electromagnetic dispersal for a third of our life spans. As we slumber on a metal coil-hop mattress, a wave of electromagnetic radiation envelops our bodies so that the most strength of the field develops 75 centimeters above the mattress in the midst of our bodies. When sleeping on the right side, the body's left side will thereby be exposed to cricket pitch strength about twice as strong as what the right side absorbs. If this swat is correct, the solution is simple: Replace the metal in our beds with a nonmetallic mattress or feel one's way your bed, like an antenna, away from the direction of the local FM/TV transportation tower. Call it high-tech feng shui if you like, but if this new study has not identified the case of left-side cancer, it will, for some, be the cause of insomnia.
