Local Couple Improves Health Through Paleo Diet

Posted: June 15, 2012 at 1:13 am

Tammy Jackson swears she hasn't blown her nose in seven months. The credit, she said, goes to a change in diet.

Jackson and her boyfriend, Will Poole, started the Paleo diet in an effort to help Poole deal with Type I diabetes.

The Paleo diet eliminates processed foods and focuses on hunter-gatherer foods, much like cavemen would have eaten during the Paleolithic era. The philosophy is centered on the theory that our bodies respond best to food that is, and has been for thousands of years, naturally available to us.

Breads, cereals, potatoes, legumes and dairy products are prohibited in the strictest versions of the diet. Jackson and Poole have adapted their diets to include more meats, vegetables and nuts.

And eggs, Jackson said. "We eat a lot of eggs."

Health advantages

Jackson and Poole are convinced that the Paleo diet has improved their health.

Before the Paleo diet, Poole's food choices were adversely affecting his health.

"I didn't do a good job," he said. His idea of managing his diabetes well was, "I wasn't having to have to go to the ER on regular basis."

"Will's diet was a big concern of mine," Jackson said. "He ate anything. He would eat food that would spike his blood sugar and then treat it with insulin."

Spurting Science: Erupting Diet Coke with Mentos

Posted: June 15, 2012 at 1:13 am

Key concepts Chemistry Physics Materials science Carbonation Physical reactions Explosions

Introduction Have you ever seen the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment that is all over the Internet and wondered what makes the reaction work? You might think that there is some ingredient in a Mentos candy that causes a chemical reaction with the soda pop, like the way baking soda reacts with vinegar. But the amazing eruption that takes place when Mentos are dropped into Diet Coke or other brands of diet soda pop is not a chemical reaction at all! Instead it is a physical reaction. That means that all of the pieces of the reaction are there, but that they are simply rearranged. It also means changing some factors may cause a larger or smaller physical reaction to take place.

Background A carbonated beverage is packed full of dissolved carbon dioxide gas, which forms bonds with water. While the soda is in the bottle, the gas is kept in solution by the bottle's pressurized conditions. When you pour some soda into a glass, some gas escapes and forms foam, but most stays trapped by the surface tension of the water. But all those gas bubbles want to escape, making it no wonder that soda makes you burp!

To create bubbles, the carbon dioxide needs to interact with itself, which means that the carbon dioxide's bonds with water in the Diet Coke must be broken. A Mentos candy can help with this. Although the candy may look smooth, if you looked at it under a microscope you'd see tiny bumps coating its entire surface. This rough surface allows the bonds between the carbon dioxide gas and the water to more easily break, helping to create carbon dioxide bubbles and cause the classic eruption. The speed at which the Mentos falls through the soda can affect how large the eruption is, and this can be tested by comparing whole with crushed Mentos, the latter of which are less dense.

Materials Wax paper Cutting board Knife One roll of Mentos (at least eight candies) Two index cards Tape Two two-liter bottles of Diet Coke An outdoor area at least two meters from buildings Eye protection (safety goggles or glasses) Video camera with either a tripod or a helper to take the images (optional)

Preparation Place a piece of wax paper on top of the cutting board. On the wax paper, carefully use a knife to crush and cut four Mentos candies into many small pieces. An adult may help you cut up the candies. What does the inside of the candies look like? Make a Mentos cartridge to hold the candies for you before you drop them into the Diet Coke bottle by rolling an index card into a tube, slightly larger than the diameter of a Mentos candy. Tape the tube together on the side. Be sure to wear eye protection when putting the candies into the cola! Wear clothes that you would not mind if they get splashed with a little soda popthis activity can get a little messy!

Procedure Place a Diet Coke bottle in an outdoor area, at least two meters from any buildings or anything hanging above the area, such as eaves, overhangs or wires. Make sure that the bottle is on a level surface and stably standing straight. Why do you think all of this is important? If you want to videotape the reactions, set up the video camera so that it has in its viewfinder the bottle and a height equivalent to at least the first story of a building. Carefully remove the cap from the bottle and place the flat index card on top, covering the hole. Add four whole Mentos candies to your cartridge, put on your eye protection, and start the video camera. Place your full cartridge on top of the flat index card. Line up where the opening of the bottle is with the opening of your cartridge. Quickly pull out the flat index card, releasing the Mentos candies into the bottle. Then step back without tipping the bottle over or disturbing the reaction. How quickly did the reaction start to happen, and how quickly did it stop? About how high did the eruption go? How much cola is left in the bottle? When the bottle stops spouting, stop recording. Remove the spent cola bottle and place a new full bottle in the same position, again making sure that it is level and stably standing straight. As with the first bottle, remove the cap and place the flat index card on top, covering the hole. Add your four crushed Mentos candies to your cartridge, pouring them in from the wax paper. Put on your eye protection and start the video camera. Like you did before, place your full cartridge on top of the flat index card, then line up where the opening of the bottle is with the opening of your cartridge. Quickly pull out the flat index card, releasing the crushed Mentos into the bottle, then step back without tipping the bottle over or disturbing the reaction. How quickly did the reaction start to happen, and how quickly did it stop? How high did the eruption appear to go? How much liquid is left in the bottle? Is it more or less than the amount that was left when you used whole candies? When the bottle stops spouting, stop recording. If you videotaped the reactions, you can watch your videos now. What do you notice from the videos? Which reaction went higher, the whole or the crushed Mentos? Extra: Find an exterior wall of a building with no windows and set a Diet Coke bottle at the base of the wall. Use a tape measure and blue painter's tape to mark off the height from the top of the bottle in meters. Then repeat this activity three times, with the bottle in front of the tape-marked wall, video taping it each time. When you review the recordings, use slow motion and pause the recording when the spout is at its maximum height. Using the tape marks in the background, estimate the height of the spout. Calculate the average height of the fountains for the whole and for the crushed Mentos. What is the difference in height of the eruptions? Extra: What other factors affect the size of the Mentos and Diet Coke eruption? You can try testing different kinds of carbonated beverages, different kinds of candies with different shapes and textures or using other things to start the reaction, like rock salt, pennies or dice. Which beverages, candies or other things cause the largest and smallest fountains? Why do you think this is? Extra: Do this activity again but instead of testing whole Mentos versus crushed, compare warm versus cold Diet Coke. Does temperature affect the eruption height?

Study: Wage Gap Persists For Women Physician-Researchers

Women physicians are paid less than their male counterparts. That's according to a new study by researchers from the University of Michigan Health System and Duke University, who found that among 800 top researcher-physicians, women earned an average of $12,194 less than men each yeareven after factors like work hours and area of specialty were taken into account. Over a 30-year career, women earn about $360,000 less than men working the same hours, with the same qualifications. Findings were published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Researchers can't yet explain what's driving the wage gap. One possibility? Women may be less aggressive when negotiating for pay, or may accept lower salaries in return for, say, less time being on call. "I was both surprised and disturbed," study author Reshma Jagsi, an associate professor at the University of Michigan Health System's Department of Radiation Oncology, told The Detroit Free Press. "Many expect academic institutions to be relatively progressive employers, so if anyone were to have the opportunity of equal pay, you might expect it to be cream-of-the-crop academic researchers."

Keep Dad Around With a Healthy Gift for Father's Day

Put down the SkyMall magazine. Your dad does not need elastic lounge pants camouflaged as jeans or a full-body sleeping cocoon to shield him from bed bugs when he's traveling. These things will only amp up his nerd factor. And let's face it, most of our dads are already really successful in that department. Here's an idea: How about a gift to help your dad not need a little more give in his pants or live in fear of the world? How about somethingwait for ithealthy!

Among the keys to a good life are relaxation, eating enough fruits and vegetables, and staying physically active. With that in mind, we suggest you strengthen that heart of his you love so much with some tips to help him have the life he deserves.

1. Make him breathe. It's hard to overstate the toll that stress takes on a human being. Among the health hazards linked to stress are sleep problems, drug or alcohol abuse, overeating, undereating, depression, lack of motivation or focus, high blood pressure, and even heart attacks. Sounds like a party, huh? Furthermore, when compared with women, men make stress management a lower priority, according to the latest American Psychological Association's survey "Stress in America." While men tend to downplay the role of stress in their lives, they suffer higher rates of those conditions made worse by stress like high blood pressure and heart disease.

Stress comes with life, and there's no way around that. But there are proven techniques to quiet the clamor. Exercise eases tension by triggering the release of endorphinsyour brain's happy chemicals. Certain Eastern practices, like yoga and tai chi, are especially calming. Their mind-body approach to wellness offers physical benefits plus the goal of equanimity. Consider enrolling your dad in yoga or tai chi classes to help him enjoy and sustain a more relaxed state of being. Or go straight for "serenity now" with a course in meditation or recordings on relaxation techniques. [Read more: Keep Dad Around With a Healthy Gift for Father's Day]

Pistachios Shown to Help Reduce Blood Pressure and Biological Responses to Everyday Stress

Posted: June 14, 2012 at 10:17 am

FRESNO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

A Pennsylvania State University study published online this month in Hypertension, an American Heart Association Journal, reveals that including pistachios in a healthy diet may positively reduce the bodys response to the stresses of everyday life.

Adults with elevated cholesterol were enrolled in a randomized, controlled clinical trial comparing diets containing pistachios to a low fat diet. The results show that a healthy diet supplemented with pistachios helps decrease systolic blood pressure, peripheral vascular resistance and heart rate during acute stress. Cardiovascular responses were measured while participants engaged in a challenging mental arithmetic test and again as they immersed their foot in cold water.

The study conducted at Pennsylvania State University by Drs. Sheila G. West and Penny M. Kris-Etherton and colleagues examined how diets containing pistachios (one-and-a-half and three ounces per day) versus a low-fat diet without pistachios, affect responses to stress on subjects with elevated LDL cholesterol, but normal blood pressure. This study is the first to show that including both salted and unsalted pistachios in a healthy diet helps reduce blood pressure and lessen the vascular load on the heart.

The people in the study were healthy, non-smoking men and women with elevated LDL cholesterol (commonly regarded as bad cholesterol) but normal blood pressure. All of the meals were provided and calorie levels were customized to maintain body weight. Pistachios were substituted for other foods in the diet to prevent weight gain. Participants followed three different diets one low fat diet (25% fat ) without pistachios, and two with different levels of pistachios (approximately 1.5 oz or 10% of calories from pistachios and 3.0 oz or (20% of calories from pistachios). The pistachio diets contained higher amounts of potassium, healthy fats and protein. All diets were rich in fruit, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains, consistent with current food-based dietary recommendations. Participant demographics and the diet design have been published previously.2

Daily events, such as work stress, a tight deadline, or public speaking can increase blood pressure, and we know that we cant avoid all of the stressors in our lives. These results are significant because they show that physiological responses to stress are affected by the foods we eat, stated Sheila West, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biobehavioral Health and the studys lead author. Dr. West continues, These changes in blood pressure occurred even though self-reported mood, anxiety, and tension were not changed.

The largest drop in blood pressure, - 4.8 mm Hg, was associated with eating about one-and-a-half ounces of pistachios a day versus a -1.8 mm Hg on the low-fat diet and, -2.4 mm Hg, three ounces of pistachios per day. The diet containing three ounces of pistachios resulted in a significant decrease in peripheral vascular resistance, a measure of artery stiffness and heart rate versus the control diet. Fifty percent of the pistachios were given salted as a snack and the other half were unsalted and incorporated into recipes. Interestingly, although high sodium intake is typically associated with high blood pressure, the largest drop in in blood pressure was not associated with the lowest sodium diet. Pistachios do provide potassium (8% Daily Value) and magnesium (8% Daily Value) which are important in maintaining a healthy blood pressure.

In addition, these results are very exciting because they demonstrate further benefits of pistachios on another risk factor for cardiovascular disease, added Penny M. Kris-Etherton, Ph.D., R.D., Distinguished Professor of Nutrition, and a lead researcher for the study. Dr. Kris-Etherton adds, Our previous research suggests including pistachios in a healthy diet lowers LDL cholesterol in a dose-response fashion2 and increases antioxidants in the blood.3

This research adds to the growing body of literature on the health benefits of pistachios, added Constance J. Geiger, Ph.D., R.D. who serves as a nutrition research consultant with the American Pistachio Growers. Dr. Geiger continues, Nuts, such as pistachios, are an important part of a healthy diet.

Since astrology can give us an insight into what makes us tick - helping us understand how we act in a relationship, what we need to inspire us and the situations we should try to avoid - then could our star sign also help determine the best way to keep in shape?

Using her insights, Sharon has created a special astro-diet plan. So what do the diet and fitness experts think? Andrew Stemler, director of training at Crossfit in London, says: Looking at your star sign to work out what you enjoy is a fun way to start exercising, and anything that inspires you to get fit is a good thing.

Dietician Anne Myers, of the British Dietetic Association, says the astro-diet plan has some great ideas. I think everyone should be following these suggestions, whatever star sign they are.

ARIES Mar 20 - Apr 20

Driven, high-achieving, Victoria Beckham is a typical Aries. You thrive on competition and are determined to win. When it comes to dieting, fast-paced regimes that bring quick results are perfect for you because patience definitely isnt a virtue.

DIET: Atkins (high in protein, low in carbs) is a good bet for an Aries. It provides concentrated fuel and appeals to your competitive, all-or-nothing personality. This is quite an extreme diet so Id recommend regular health checks to keep an eye on things such as your cholesterol.

Charlize Theron Weight Loss 2012 Charlize Theron Diet Plan - Isn't amazing how all of the celebrities you see have a celebrity diet plan for weight loss to maintain their weight. Some of them are shapely and healthy looking, and look good on camera. Others look like they haven't eaten in weeks, like they just got back from the famine in Ethiopia for a few weeks. Like they had been starving themselves to lose weight, and that is probably what they have been doing. You see it in all the tabloids, this person lost 100 pounds again, this one gained 100 pounds, and then lost 150 pounds. Some are not as dramatic; this one lost 40 pounds and is a television spokesperson, because the previous celebrity diet spokesperson gained the weight back.

Celebrities make dieting look so easy, don't they? One month they're on the cover of US Weekly for gaining too much weight and the next they're headlining the "sexiest beach bods" story. It is true that seriously overweight people can lose large amounts of fat in a quick amount of time, because of the large fat content in their cells. But those that are only a few pounds overweight, losing 40 pounds in a month, is not only starvation, it is malnutrition and can have serious side effects. Our body weight can fluctuate day to day and the best diets take the weight off gradually, the way it came on. If you lose a lot of weight in a short time, staying the same size will be impossible unless you follow a maintenance program for life. Good, sensible dieting means skill and will power combined. A lot of these celebrity diets or Hollywood diets are very bad for the body and the celebrities are thinking of the camera rather than their long term health. Researches indicate that individuals who indulge in a weight loss program by taking prepared meals end up losing an additional 31% weight as against those who cook their own meals. With help, losing weight is made easier and at times much faster as against doing it on your own.Diet delivery is gaining popularity in a big way as it is fairly affordable by even the common man, roughly around $20 a day with an increasing variety to choose from.

5 Ways to Lose Weight at Work

Posted: June 14, 2012 at 10:16 am

Summer officially begins next Wednesday, June 20. So hows that New Years weight-loss resolution holding up?

A new survey suggests many people arent ready to hit the beach and show off just yet and work might be to blame.

The survey by jobs website CareerBuilder, released last week, found 44 percent of workers said theyve gained weight at their current jobs with more than half saying they gained more than 10 pounds, and a third saying it was more than 20. Only 16 percent of workers said they lost weight at their current job.

The survey also found weight gain was linked to certain high-stress and sedentary positions, including police, teachers, and IT workers. Here are the reported causes

Based on those tips, CareerBuilder also offered some advice on keeping fit at the office

Take the stairs instead of the elevator, or stop by a coworkers desk instead of sending an email, CareerBuilder suggests. Depending on your commute, you could also make time before or after work for a jog or the gym. Or if you dont drive, get off at an earlier train or bus stop to get in those extra steps.

Snacking can seem innocent when done in small bits and pieces, but the extra calories will start to add up quickly, CareerBuilder says. Keep healthy eating options like carrot chips, bananas, or nuts on hand.

Bringing your lunch to work helps you better control your portions and also saves you money, CareerBuilder says. The survey also reports 10 percent of workers eat lunch from the vending machine once a week, and just 11 percent bring their lunch every work day. Packing your lunch takes a little longer, but it tastes better and costs less. And if you keep track of your calories with a smartphone app, knowing what you eat in advance lets you add them when youre not too busy and might forget.

Skip soda and juice and stick with H2O instead. This helps make you feel fuller faster, and cuts down on the calories, CareerBuilder says. Plus: free refills.

Take daily walks with a coworker, replace your chair with an exercise ball for part of the day, and keep free weights at your desk, CareerBuilder says. Of course, you dont want to violate office policy or lie on your time sheet to do so. Find out about office chair exercises or where to get cheap gym equipment in our story How to Find the Right Gym or Get Fit on Your Own.
