* Cocoa may improve brain blood flow *
A nice cup of the right kind of cocoa could hold the promise of promoting brain
function as people age.
In an increasingly aging world, medical researchers are seeing more cases of
dementia and are looking for ways to make brains work better.
One potential source of help may be flavanols, an antioxidant found in cocoa
beans that can increase blood flow to the brain, researchers said at the annual
meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

* Study finds clues to mystery dizziness *
Chronic dizziness that is not due to vertigo, a problem that has puzzled doctors
for years, may have a variety of causes including anxiety disorders and brain
injury, according to a study published on Monday.
Vertigo, a feeling of turning or whirling usually involving inner ear problems,
is well recognized, according to the report from the University of Pennsylvania
Health System in Philadelphia.

* Most U.S. women face heart, stroke risk: New guidelines advise
exercise and daily aspirin use *
Nearly all American women are in danger of heart disease or stroke and should be
more aggressive about lowering their risk -- including asking their doctors
about daily aspirin use, the American Heart Association
said Monday in new guidelines.
It is the first time guidelines have urged all women to consider aspirin for
preventing strokes, although specialists warn that it can cause ulcers and
dangerous bleeding. They said it is probably not a good idea for young women
with no big health problems.

* Caregiving *
When my husband was first diagnosed with leukemia, I did not consider myself a
caregiver. I was a mother and a wife. But the reality of constant care and daily
hospital runs settled in like a cool fog, clouding my ability to see life beyond
the next pillbox.
I was fortunate in that my in-laws and parents were able to help me through
these challenging times, but there were so many others who also wanted to know,
"How can I help?"

* Stomach Flu *
Viral gastroenteritis, also known as "the stomach flu," is a very common
infection of the stomach and intestines. It is the second most common illness
encountered in American families and causes approximately 50,000
hospitalizations per year. Viruses that are transferred from infected food to
person and passed from person to person via contaminated silverware, food, and
water cause it. These viruses can be very contagious, and "outbreaks" may occur
if appropriate hand washing and sterilization does not occur in public
facilities. Outbreaks of viral gastroenteritis are common in schools, hospitals,
long-term care
facilities, jails, dormitories, and cruise ships.

Treatment" - By Roger Hutchison, go to

* Parenting *
Change is never easy. Even when you're dropping a bad or unhealthy habit in
order to achieve the lifestyle you've been seeking, the transition will be
rocky. If change were easy, after all, then quitting smoking wouldn't be a
multi-million dollar industry!
If you've decided to drop some of the outdated, ineffective parenting techniques
that you've been relying on in order to better parent your teen or preteen, then
congratulations! More effective parenting leads to teenagers who grow into more
successful adults, creating calmer, more loving households and significantly
happier parents in the meantime. ...

*** Book Review: The Mood Cure: The 4-Step Program to Take Charge of Your
Emotions--Today – By Julia Ross, M.A. ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ross, author of "The Diet Cure," here offers a prescriptive plan designed to
relieve a variety of ailments from seasonal disorders, stress, irritability, and
depression. Ross believes that many of these annoying and, in some cases,
severely disabling disorders can be relieved through a change in diet and
nutritional supplements.
Readers are asked to first determine which of four "false moods" they suffer
from: a dark cloud, blahs, stress, or too much sensitivity. The survey is
simple, and the questions will immediately resonate with readers; for example,
someone who is suffering from the blahs is likely to have difficulty focusing or
require a great deal of sleep. Armed with their survey scores, readers can then
turn to the appropriate chapter to learn which diets and supplements will be
most helpful. Particularly reassuring are the author's detailed explanations of
why she advises a particular strategy. While Ross is an advocate for nutritional
supplements, she provides a sound overview for all her recommendations.

Braised Kidney Beans & Sweet Potato
This is a hearty and nutritious vegetarian meal that is high in protein. It is
very easy to prepare and needs minimal attention while cooking. The Healthy
Sauté and braising cooking methods make this even healthier by not using fat or
heated oils. The combination of spices makes it unusual and delicious. It is a
perfect meal to have when it is cold outside.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped
4 medium cloves garlic, chopped
1 TBS fresh ginger, chopped
1 medium carrot, sliced thin
1 medium green bell pepper, cut in 1 inch squares
2 cups sweet potatoes, cut in 1 inch cubes
2 cups crimini mushrooms, sliced medium thick
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 TBS tomato paste
2 cups + 1 TBS vegetable broth
15 oz can kidney beans, drained
salt & black pepper to taste

onion in broth over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until
translucent. Add garlic, ginger, carrot, pepper, sweet
potatoes, and mushrooms. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring
frequently.
3. Add spices and mix thoroughly. Mix tomato paste and broth together and add.

Serves 4
Healthy Cooking Tips:
Chopping your vegetables into the size recommended gives them a chance to cook
slowly without over cooking. This allows the flavors of the vegetables and
spices to blend together. Allow it to simmer on low heat, and don't rush it. It
will taste much better. By uncovering it toward the end and continuing to simmer
for a little longer reduces the sauce and intensifies the flavor.
