Something To Think About
============================

Combining a healthful diet and stress reduction pain can all but be eliminated in most instances...

The best way to stop the spread of infection is by washing your hands. But do these antibacterial creams or lotions work just as well?

A Japanese study suggests not.

As reported in the Journal of Dermatology, the study found that only 49 percent of skin bacteria was removed when you use an antibacterial hand lotion without washing.

On the other hand, if you use the lotion after washing first, you'll get rid of 89 percent of the bacteria.

5 Rare Tips for Maximizing Fat Loss
By Shane Ellison, M.Sc.
© 2005 www.healthmyths.net

Drink Lemon Water with Meals - The acid from lemon slows stomach emptying and digestion. Consuming a full squeezed lemon in 20 ounces of purified water with a meal can lower blood sugar as much as 30%. By controlling blood sugar, the body can better rebound from the post meal insulin spike and begin burning fat sooner.

Psyllium Husk ? Like acid from lemons, the fiber known as psyllium husk also slows stomach emptying and digestion. Consuming a tablespoon in water before a meal will prevent a spike in insulin and blood sugar. Post meal fat burning will begin sooner.

Drug Induced Obesity - Commonly used prescription drugs can interrupt many weight regulating factors. When used long term (6 months or more), these drugs elicit obesity among most users and will negate the benefits of all fat loss endeavors. This is true despite rigorous workout or diet routines that may be employed.

The most common of these drugs are those used for birth control, to treat high blood pressure (beta blockers such as Atenolol), depression (SSRI's such as Zyprexa), and diabetes (sulfonylureas such as Amaryl and thiazolidinediones such as Avandia).

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) ? The nutrient ALCAR prevents fat storage. It is responsible for enhancing energy output by transporting fat to the mitochondria. The mitochondria is the powerhouse or engine of the cell and responsible for converting fatty acids to energy in the form of heat and ATP. Without this transportation, fatty acids are simply stored as fat.

Limit Alcohol Consumption? Alcohol is processed just like sugar. The body will burn alcohol before it burns fat. Most any amount is detrimental to your fat loss goals.

If consumed, alcohol should be limited to no more than 3 drinks per week (a drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits or 4 ounces of wine). To curtail the negative effects of alcohol consume it with a meal consisting of protein and fat. This will slow the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream and prevent its negative impact on weight gain due to insulin and blood glucose levels.

This time next week this fruit will make it's appearance in more homes than usual. Kind of traditional fruit...

It might just be because they are coming into harvest or it has been passed down from generation to generation as the fruit to put in every child's stocking. Whatever the reason that they occupy a place of honor for this time of the year that orange ball is healthy, nutritious and a very enjoyable food.

An orange is more effective than dark-green, leafy vegetables in increasing serum concentrations of retinol and beta-carotene.

The orange has a sweet with a slightly sour taste and is commonly peeled and eaten fresh, or squeezed for its juice. The outer-most layer of the rind is called orange zest, and it has a similar flavor with a bitter tang to the inner part of the orange. The rind is very high in nutrients and can be used in cooking, cleaning or eating. When the oil is removed from the orange rind it is a very effective non-toxic cleaning and polishing agent. Orange oil is used as a wood treatment for preserving and naturally beautifying it.

One naval orange provides 130% of your daily Vitamin C. This powerful antioxidant protects the body from the effects of stress, pollution and disease. Unlike some vitamins, Vitamin C cannot be stored by the body, so it must be replenished regularly. Oranges supply 80 fat-free calories packed with energizing carbohydrates that fuel energy levels.

Oranges supply Vitamin C, flavonoids and folate as well as fiber and many other vitamins and minerals that bolster the immune system and contribute to overall health, which is especially important during cold and flu season.

One serving of an orange or a grapefruit contains 1g of protein and the mineral zinc, which can bolster the immune system and help fight off the negative effects of stress and help ward off illness and diseases.

The fruit originated in India or Vietnam, depending on who you listen to. It was called na rangi in Sanskrit. The na rangi or naranja was translated as "norange", and in English usage a norange was back-formed into the more acceptable an orange. The same thing happened in French and Italian, but in Spanish it is still naranja.

A number of varieties of orange are now cultivated in many parts of the world, usually in warmer climates. The sweet navel orange - Citrus aurantium - was first grown in Spain, and has become the most popular variety. The sweet orange will grow to different sizes and colors due to local conditions, most commonly with ten slices inside.

The Valencia or Murcia orange is one of the sweet oranges used for juice. It is a late-season fruit and is the most popular orange when the navel oranges are out of season.

The blood orange has streaks of red in the fruit, and when squeezed the juice is often reddish. The blood orange, with it's sweet, deep red colored flesh, is thought to be the result of a mutation that occurred in 17th century Sicily. In most varieties of blood orange even the pulp and skin is slightly sweet, and not bitter.

The mandarin is similar, but smaller and sweeter. The mandarin orange is considered a native of south-eastern Asia and the Philippines. It is most abundantly grown in Japan, southern China, India, Mexico and the East Indies, and is esteemed for home consumption in Australia. Mandarin is a group name for a class of oranges with thin, loose peel, which have been dubbed "kid-glove" oranges. These are treated as members of a distinct species, Citrus reticulata Blanco. The name "tangerine" could be applied as an alternate name to the whole group, but, in the trade, is usually confined to the types with red-orange skin. In the Philippines all mandarin oranges are called naranjita. Spanish-speaking people in the American tropics call them mandarina. There are a multitude of different named Mandarin oranges.

Ingredients;
3 eggs beaten
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1/4 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 cup soy milk
1 Tablespoon melted Butter
6-8 Whole wheat bread slices

1) Beat first six ingredients together in bowl until well mixed.
2) Heat griddle.
3) Dip bread slices in mixture coating both sides.

4) Cook on butter coated or non-stick griddle until lightly browned. If you like your French toast slightly sweeter lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar. For a more cinnamon taste sprinkle with sugar and ground cinnamon before serving. (I keep a salt shaker with cinnamon/granulated sugar mixture on hand for this purpose. 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon to 1/4 cup sugar.)

Serve hot with fruit or syrup of choice. (Our favorite is with sliced peach or sliced strawberries)

Tylenol Most Common Cause of Liver Failure

Acetaminophen poisoning is now the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States. Attempted suicides account for many cases, but almost half are the result of unintentional overdose.

Unintentional Overdose Worse Than Intentional

Some 36 percent of Americans take acetaminophen at least once a month, making it the most widely used pain reliever in the United States. Taking more than the recommended dose, however, can lead to fatal liver injury.

And those who had unintentionally taken overdoses usually have even worse outcomes than those who has done so intentionally, since unintentional overdoses are usually not recognized as such immediately.

Cases Nearly Doubled Over Five Years

Researchers examined the case histories of almost 700 liver-failure patients over a six-year period. They found that:

Cases of acute liver failure blamed on acetaminophen use rose sharply from 28 percent in 1998 to 51 percent five years later.
More patients overdosed unintentionally on acetaminophen (48 percent) than did so intentionally (44 percent) Sixty-three percent who accidentally overdosed used a prescription acetaminophen compound while 38 percent had been taking two acetaminophen meds at the same time. Some patients had been taking less than 4 grams of acetaminophen daily before their livers failed. As Little as 7.5 Grams Per Day

The data suggests that consistent use of as little as 7.5 grams of acetaminophen a day may be hazardous. Rather than resulting in chronic illness, acetaminophen injury has a threshold of safety that, when exceeded, can have immediate and devastating results.

LENA'S COMMENT: I've written and told you this for years and something that really needs to be reiterated more often and running across this information gives me that opportunity again... Sadly this article doesn't elaborate on the neurological damage done by acetaminophen (Tylenol)
