It's unbelievable but true! An Israeli psychologist is teaming up with the phone industry to provide infrared imaging systems that piggyback onto cell phones to evaluate breast tissue for cancer.? If I didn't know how good infrared imaging is for screening I would think this was a hoax.? This is really great news for the people who want to take charge of their own health.? Self-care is rapidly becoming a reality through technology that is inexpensive and readily available.? You've got to read this to believe it!???

Dr Nitzan Yaniv, an Israeli psychologist has reportedly developed a radical new technology which would enable an ordinary mobile phone to diagnose breast cancer and various type of heart disease. By installing new software and adding a basic infrared camera, a mobile phone could be transformed into a highly-effective diagnostic tool, offering far more accurate results than the self-checks many women do themselves, the Haaretz daily reported.?The scan could be immediately transferred to a medical laboratory where further tests could be ordered if necessary.

The infrared camera uses two techniques, both of which have proven effective in diagnosing breast cancer: one analyzes temperature differences in different parts of the breast, while the other analyses oxygen flow to areas of the breast.? There are centers throughout the world that already use digital thermography to study all sorts of disease processes.

I'm?really thrilled to see tools like this in the hands of regular people.? Because of expense or fear of the medical system people often shy away from having necessary screening.? Infrared imaging is totally safe and now may be accessible to the average person.? Our website at www.centeru.com is designed to put individuals in charge of their health.?

If you really want to lose weight and keep it off, buy some small paper plates and try?this simple?experiment.? By using smaller plates and smaller portions the brain is tricked into believing that it has had a complete meal.? The effect is maintained permanently, as long as smaller plates are used.? A recent study at the University of Pennsylvania made the point using foods I might never think of using!

?

Researchers, led by Penn psychology professor Paul Rozin, tested the effect of providing smaller and larger portions at to see how it changed the number of calories consumed. Would they eat more of the smaller treats and fewer of the larger ones?? No matter what size treat was offered -- a small Tootsie Roll or one four times larger, a whole pretzel or half a pretzel, one small scoop of M&M's or a large scoop -- they ate just one, even when they were encouraged to consume more. So those who were offered larger servings of treats ate more than those offered smaller portions.

The findings "suggest that people see food as [discrete] 'units,' " says Andrew B. Geier, a doctoral student in experimental psychology and co-author of the study, which is slated to be published in the journal Psychological Science. "Whether you give them a six-inch sub or a nine-inch sub, a small plate or a large plate of food, one small scoop of M&M's or one large scoop, these 'units' are governing intake control of food.

This isn't fancy psychology or hard to figure out.? The holidays are upon us and we can put this advice into motion right away.? I recommend paper plates so you can try this out without spending a fortune on plates you won't ever use again.? I know this works because we use it in our home all the time.? More tips will be coming over the rest of the Christmas season.? This Christmas let's make sure Santa's the only one eating too many cookies!!!
