Laughing yoga cultivates merry mindfulness -

Laughter yoga, unlike Pilates yoga, water yoga, aerial yoga and other offshoots of the ancient eastern practice of uniting body and breath, doesn't aspire to sculpted arms and bendy backs.

Laughter yoga just wants you to be happy. A blend of yogic deep breathing, stretching, and laughter exercises that cultivate child-like playfulness

Dioxin found in German eggs, 8th farm since April -

(Reuters) - The poisonous chemical dioxin has been found at higher-than-permitted levels in eggs from a German farm, following similar discoveries at seven other farms since April, authorities said on Monday.

The poultry farm is near Loehnberg in the central state of Hesse, the federal food warning service said. The dioxin was discovered by the farm's own safety checks, and the eggs are being recalled, it said.

The service said there was no acute danger to public health, because dioxin is dangerous only if consumed over long periods. Small doses are not harmful.

Half of all heart patients make medication errors -

(Reuters Health) - Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-related mistake after leaving the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn't seem to reduce those errors, in a new study.

Consequences of mistakes - such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the wrong dose - can range from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in blood pressure. Two percent of errors were life-threatening.
