  Exercise vs Drugs for Depression Pam Poppe r, President Wellness Forum Health According to a new study, running works just as well for relieving depression and anxiety as drugs. Researchers partially randomized 141 patients with depression or anxiety disorder to either an antidepressant (Lexapro or Zoloft) or group-based running therapy two to three times per week for 16 weeks. Mental health, symptom severity and physical health were evaluated at baseline and then at the end of the 16-week period. Forty-five of the patients took meds, and 96 underwent running therapy. The reason for the difference in the size of the groups is that most of the patients did not want to be randomized and preferred to be part of the running group.   Running resulted in a small but statistically insignificant greater remission rate than drugs. But there were much greater differences in other markers of health. Runners fared better on weight loss, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood ...

Today is Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day .  Both of these events signify love.

Certain other churches will focus on the suffering of Jesus in this period leading to his death on the cross and his resurrection after his death. Normally restaurants will be busy today and people will be buying flowers for their loved ones. It is a day to celebrate love and also a day to celebrate solitude if that is where you are in your life. A partner makes life different, but you do not require a partner to live fully. In this next 40 days it is a good time to reflect on my relationship with Jesus and my re...

  Erlo Stegen: An Example of Excellence in Missions, Ministry and Revival On Tuesday,26 September, I arrived at KwaZulu-Natal just as the news broke, that Uncle Erlo, The Founder and Director of KwaSizabantu Mission had passed into eternity. As I arrived at the Stegen home, I was asked to speak to the family and co-workers gathered on the lawn. I reminded our good friends that Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted. That he took our griefs upon the Cross. Our Lord Jesus Christ wept at the tomb of his friend Lazarus. He reminded Martha that her brother would rise from the dead. Martha acknowledged that he would rise on the last day. Jesus declared: I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in Me shall live, even though he dies. Rev Erlo Stegen has run the race and kept the Faith .There is a crown laid up for him in glory. We must praise God for a life well lived and for the life and legacy of this extraordinary Bondservant of Christ. We have lost a great leader, friend and e...
