How Does Your Hospital Rank?

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- The higher your hospital is ranked, the lower your chance of complications or death. More specifically, research shows hospitals ranked in the top 5 percent in the country offer patients a 27-percent lower risk of death and a 14-percent lower risk of complications. These are the findings of the annual HealthGrades study.

The study, performed each year by an independent health care ratings company, identifies hospitals ranked in the top 5 percent across 26 procedures and diagnoses. Hospitals with the lowest mortality and complication rates are named Distinguished Hospitals for Clinical Excellence.

This year, the group discovered close to 153,000 lives could have been saved, and nearly 22,000 complications could have been avoided if all hospitals offered the quality of care similar to the top 5 percent.

The analysis is based on nearly 39 million hospital discharges that occurred in 2002, 2003 and 2004. Over the three years, Distinguished Hospitals for Clinical Excellence outpaced all other hospitals by improving their already better-than-expected outcomes more than all other hospitals.

This information is intended to set a benchmark that can be used for improvements and informed decision making among all other hospitals.

Pa what?

The papaya has a reputation as the fruit of the angels given that name by Christopher Columbus. Considered an exotic fruit, can now be found in markets throughout the year. Although there is a bit of a seasonal peak in early summer and fall, papaya trees produce fruit year round.

Papaya Fruit, often called Paw Paw, Mamao, and Tree Melon, grows on what is usually referred to as a tree. But the Papaya plant is actually a large herb growing to heights of up to thirty feet with a hollow green stem becoming up to a foot and a half thick at the base. The leaves emerge directly from the upper part of the stem in a spiral. Both the stem and leaves contain copious white milky latex. Generally, the fruit is melon-like, oval to nearly round. The skin is waxy and thin but fairly tough. When the fruit is green and hard it is rich in white latex. As it ripens, it becomes yellow externally and the thick wall of flesh becomes aromatic, yellow, orange or various shades of red. It is then juicy, sweet and somewhat like cantaloupe in flavor. Papaya's seeds are edible, although their peppery flavor is somewhat bitter. The fruit, as well as the other parts of the papaya tree, contain papain, an enzyme that helps digest proteins. This enzyme is especially concentrated in the fruit when it is unripe. Papain is extracted to make digestive enzyme dietary supplements.

Rutgers University study on fruits and their nutrient values found that the Papaya came in second on their list. Is not on the list of 20 foods that most frequently contain pesticide residue or in the allergy realm of foods.

It contains; Vitamin C, folate, dietary fiber, vitamins E, A, B2 & B5, potassium, magnesium of which all are necessary to our health and beside tasty and good the Papaya is very low in calories...

Since this isn't a fruit that is one of the popularly consumed fruits thought I would give you some ideas of how to serve papaya... They can be eaten as is, added to a fruit salad or to a host of different recipes.

One of the easiest and most natural ways to eat papaya is; After washing the fruit, cut it lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and then eat it with a spoon. For a little extra zest, you can squeeze lemon or lime juice on top. Very sweet and tasty!

To cut papaya into smaller pieces for fruit salad or recipes, first peel it with a paring knife and then cut into desire size and shape. You can also use a melon baller to scoop out the fruit of a halved papaya. If you are adding it to a fruit salad, you should do so just before serving as it tends to cause the other fruits to become very soft.

While most people discard the big black seeds, they are actually edible and have a delightful peppery flavor. They can be chewed whole or blended into a creamy salad dressing, giving it a peppery flavor.

Mix diced papaya, cilantro, jalapeno peppers and ginger together to make a unique salsa that goes great with shrimp, scallops and halibut.

Sprinkle papaya with fresh lime juice and enjoy as is.

Slice a small papaya lengthwise and fill with fruit salad.

In a blender, combine papaya, strawberries and yogurt for a cold soup treat.

Juice Fasting
By Sharon Hopkins

Fasting is one of oldest and effective ways of burning huge amounts of accumulated waste products in the body. Previously, people used to fast by drinking water only throughout the day. Experts say that fasting on juices, both vegetable and fruit, is much gentler and beneficial in normalizing all body processes.

Juice fasting involves intake of juices diluted with water every hour or two from morning to night. Avoid taking solid foods or other kinds of liquids, especially canned juices if you are on juice fasting. The total juice intake in a day should be about 7-9 glasses.

Vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, iron, calcium and enzymes contained in these juices supply much needed nutrients for the body's own healing activity and thereby speeding up the recovery process. While on juice fast, ensure that your bowels are flushed out regularly.

Juice fasting is known to have many advantages. It is the safest method to detox one's body by cleansing and eliminating those cells and tissues, which are dead or damaged. It reduces the cholesterol levels; treats symptoms of allergies, acne, and headaches by flushing out toxins -- making one feel good and healthy.

Juice fasting can be done with almost any fruits or vegetables that are eaten raw. Best veggies for juice fasting are tomatoes, cucumbers, celery and carrots. A combination of apple and carrot juice or apple and tomato juice i.e. a combination of a fruit and a vegetable is a healthy and nutritious drink. Huge varieties of fruits and vegetables can be used in combinations or separately. They give the body its daily calories and enhance health.

First, peel the off skin from vegetables and fruits. Rinse in filtered water. After extracting the juice, dilute it with water in equal parts. Make sure that your juicer does a good job of extracting the juice. Consume the juice immediately after extraction. Before you start your juice fasting, consult your GP in case your body does not agree with juice fasting. Foul breath, a coated tongue, and a bad taste in the mouth are said to be the first symptoms to appear when one fasts. These symptoms can be felt till your body has cleared out all wastes.

In short, exclusive diet of juices of vegetables and fruits is an effective way to restore health from diseases, cleanse and regenerate tissues and rejuvenate the body.
