These elements - fire, earth, wood, metal, and water - can also be linked to contemporary science and the elements of energy, matter, time, and space.

Bicicletta diventa sinonimo di benessere fisico e spirituale, libertà di movimento e di pensiero.

Beyond images of emaciated polar bears and drought-cracked lakes, there remains a major part of climate change's impact that the media has neglected: how our health will suffer from higher temperatures and extreme weather. From spiraling rates of asthma and allergies and spikes in heatstroke-related deaths to swarms of invasive insects carrying diseases like dengue or West Nile and increases in heart and lung disease and cancer, the effect of rising temperatures on human health will be far-reaching, and is more imminent than we think.

We expect, even assume, our government will protect our food, but how often do you think a major U.S. food farm get inspected by federal or state officials?

Plastic surgery has become the answer for many Americans, and in American Plastic sociologist Laurie Essig explores how we arrived at this particular solution. Over the last decade there has been a 465 percent increase in cosmetic work, and we now spend over $12 billion annually on procedures like liposuction, face-lifts, tummy tucks, and boob jobs.

Patagonia. The name connotes the exotic and a distance that seems nearly mythical. Tucked toward the toe of South America, this largely unsettled landscape is among the most varied and breathtaking in the world - aching in its beauty as it sweeps from the Andes through broad, arid steppes to pristine beaches and down to a famously violent sea. It is also home to a vast array of rare wildlife as diverse and fascinating as the region itself.

Tutti siamo, almeno in parte, responsabili della nostra salute e del nostro benessere futuro, che dipende anche dai comportamenti che adottiamo oggi.
