* Whole-Grain Cereals Cut Heart Failure: Study Shows Benefits Even After Taking
Other Heart Risk Factors Into Account *
Eating seven or more weekly servings of whole-grain breakfast cereal may help
men avoid heart failure, a new study shows.
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can't pump blood effectively to
the lungs or the rest of the body, usually because the person has narrowed or
hardened coronary arteries (the vessels that supply blood to heart muscle), has
previously suffered a heart attack, or has high blood pressure.

* Holistic Services *
Holistic practitioners are holistic healing professionals with a gift in one or
more areas of healing. From bodyworkers to homeopaths to hypnotherapists, the
term holistic practitioner has become one that is often challenging to describe
or understand. Hopefully, this article will provide you with some clarity on
what a holistic practitioner is and how to find one that meets your individual
needs.

* Massage *
In the Orient, and particularly in Japan, the belly is very important to our
overall physical and emotional health. Even in the West we recognize this to a
certain extent. Emotionally, many people recognize that they hold tension in
their belly. Some people get constipated when they are stressed or anxious,
while some get diarrhea. Also, people talk about having a gut feeling about
something or hating someone's guts. Those kinds of phrases are much more common
in the Orient.

* Sleep *
Let's face it... we live in a "go-go" world! Our lifestyle is harried, our food
is fast, and statistics now show it's taking a toll on one of the most important
parts of our life--our sleep. The 2002 National Sleep Foundation (NSF) Sleep in
America poll found that 74 percent of American adults are experiencing a
sleeping problem a few nights a week or more, 39% get less than seven hours of
sleep each weeknight, and more than one in three (37%) are so sleepy during the
day that it interferes with daily activities. Our fast paced way of life is
getting the best of us. What about you?

*** Book Review: A Beautiful Bowl of Soup: The Best Vegetarian Recipes – By
Paulette Mitchell ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
This satisfying, manageable cookbook highlights some of the most popular
international recipes for vegetarian soup with vibrant photographs and easy
directions. Some soups are familiar, like Minestrone or Black Bean Soup, while
other recipes, such as Fresh Tomato-Orange Soup, Chestnut Soup, and Wild
Rice-Cranberry Soup, are unexpected and make this book stand out.
Mitchell ("The 15-Minute Gourmet") emphasizes pleasure in cooking and
presentation; even humble Cream of Tomato Soup is topped with puff pastry crowns
without losing its homey feel. Tantalizing photos emphasize the elegant
unfussiness of soups like Yukon Gold Potato. Home cooks will find practical tips
sprinkled everywhere, like how to replace fresh tomatoes with canned when out of
season or how to find and prepare dried Chinese wheat-flour noodles. A helpful
list of these tips appears at the beginning, making the book easy to navigate.
There are 19 vegan recipes, ranging from light Miso Soup to the filling
Cashew-Carrot Stew; in addition, almost every recipe has instructions for vegan
preparation (Caramelized Onion Soup is just as winning without the goat cheese).
With a section on heartier vegetarian stews such as Acorn Squash and Fava Bean,
a Greek-influenced Spicy Green Bean and Potato Stew, and an excellent Indian
Cumin-Scented Coconut Milk Stew (as well as with fruit soups like
Strawberry-Rhubarb Soup and Gingered Pear Soup), this book makes a convincing
argument for soup as the star course of any meal. (Copyright © Reed Business

This recipe we created gives you a delicious and easy way of receiving the many
health benefits of vegetables in your meal in just 20 minutes. Our Healthy
Stir-Fry cooking method makes it even healthier by not using heated oils. Feel
free to add other vegetables you may have on hand to this dish if you have the
time.
Prep and Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 medium onion cut in half and sliced medium thick
1 TBS vegetable broth
4 medium cloves garlic, pressed
1 TBS minced fresh ginger
1 red bell pepper cut into ½ inch pieces
1 cup sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms, (remove stems)
2 cups sliced green cabbage
5 oz extra firm tofu cut into ½ inch cubes
2 TBS soy sauce
1 TBS rice vinegar
2 TBS chopped fresh cilantro
1 TBS sesame seeds
salt and white pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Prepare ingredients to stir-fry.
2. Heat 1 TBS broth in a stainless steel wok or 12 inch skillet. Healthy
Stir-Fry onion for about 2 minutes in broth over medium high heat stirring
constantly.
3. Add red pepper and mushrooms. Continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Add
garlic, ginger and continue to cook stirring for another 2-3 minutes.

Healthy Cooking Tips:
Make sure you slice cabbage thin, so you can cook it quickly. If over cooked it
will release its water and dilute the flavor of your dish. By slicing it thin,
you can cook it for just a couple of minutes so it doesn't taste raw without
this happening.
