Wondering what inspired Oprah's 21-day cleanse? It was reading this book by Kathy Freston and of course, now it's a bestseller. But I love that it inspires so many to change their eating habits - even in small ways - that improves both your personal health and the environment. We're all in need of a little (lot) of personal and global well-being.

A new study found that the year your neighborhood was built may be just as important as diet and exercise for shedding pounds. Those who live in neighborhoods built before 1950 are trimmer than their counterparts who reside in more modern communities, the study reported.

"The older neighborhoods had a reduced level of obesity because they were generally built with the pedestrian in mind and not cars," said Ken Smith, a co-author of the study and professor in the department of family and consumer studies at the University of Utah. "This means they have trees, sidewalks and offer a pleasant environment in which to walk." msnbc.

You can make your favorite organic baked goods with much less sugar and fat, according to the July issue of the Mayo Clinic Health Letter. Reducing sugar by one-third to one-half works in many recipes. To enhance sweetness, increase the amount of vanilla extract, cinnamon or nutmeg. Applesauce, mashed banana or prune puree can replace up to half the butter, shortening or oil in many recipes.Use reduced-fat or fat-free ingredients instead of high-fat products. For example, fat-free, 1% or 2% milk can replace whole milk; evaporated fat-free milk can replace regular evaporated milk. Fat-free plain yogurt or low-fat sour creams can be substituted for sour cream. Light cream cheese or low-fat cottage cheese often substitutes nicely for cream cheese. Organic Authority.

But unlike stage and screen hypnosis, hypnotherapy -- in which patients are verbally guided into a "trance" by a trained psychotherapist -- is a legitimate treatment tool endorsed by the American Psychological Association. "Hypnosis has a long and checkered history," says Jean Fain, a psychotherapist who uses hypnosis in her Massachusetts practice. "But there's a growing body of quality research showing that it can help with everything from behavioral problems and bad habits to anxiety and irritable bowel syndrome." Read more at msnbc.
