*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***

WATCH YOUR BACK – If you use a backpack to carry your study or work materials, make sure that the backpack weighs no more than 5 to 10 percent of your body weight to avoid putting stress on your lower back.

ARTHRITIS HELP – Glucosamine
“The design of our body is magnificent and indeed there is a natural joint repair mechanism in place. Glucosamine sulfate, an amino acid sugar formed in the body from glucose, plays a major role in the formation of the tissues and fluids necessary for cartilage to function. It has demonstrated the ability to restore the gelatinous lubricating consistency of the fluids and tissues of joints (including the back). Glucosamine sulfate is critical to joint integrity and found in high concentrations in healthy individuals. Glucosamine stimulates cartilage synthesis keeping joints repaired thus relieving joint pain, tenderness and swelling.”

SORE THROAT? - Try this "shiatsu pressure point" tip: Find the point on your right thumb at the lower portion of your thumbnail closest to your index finger. Apply pressure to this point for 20 seconds. Do this three times and then switch to the left hand.

*** BOOK REVIEW: The Fat Flush Plan -by Ann Louise Gittleman, Barry Sears (Introduction)***
---------------------------------

The keys to overweight are liver toxicity, waterlogged tissues, fear of eating fat, excess insulin, and stress, asserts nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman. Her Fat Flush Plan addresses these problems with a targeted diet.

The Fat Flush Plan, filled with nutritional analysis and detailed explanations, is not a quick read. Despite Gittleman's assertion that the plan is "as easy as 1-2-3," it is quite regimented. No white flour, white sugar, margarine, vegetable shortening, artificial sweeteners, or caffeine. The diet emphasizes essential oils (e.g., flaxseed and GLA), protein (eight ounces or more, plus two eggs a day), vegetables, thermogenic spices (e.g., ginger and cayenne), water, and diuretic beverages (eight glasses/day of diluted, unsweetened cranberry juice). In its first two-week phase, the plan is a rigid, low calorie (1,100-1,200 calories/day), low-carb (no grains or starchy vegetables) diet. Phase two lets you increase your calories to 1,500 and add two "friendly carbs." Phase three, the "lifestyle program," moderately adds more dairy, carbs, and calories. Gittleman promotes walking and recommends strength training in phase three.

The book includes 41 recipes such as Grilled Lamb Chops with Cinnamon and Coriander, Breakfast Egg Fu Yung, and Cumin Sautéed Scallops. The Fat Flush Plan is recommended for dieters willing to commit to a strict plan for weight loss. --Joan Price
