* Skim milk best for pumping up muscle mass *
Weightlifters who drink skim milk after a workout will build about twice as much
muscle as those who rely on soy beverages, a new study suggests.
What's more, milk is far cheaper than supplements specifically designed to help
weightlifters pump up after a workout, Dr. Stuart M. Phillips of McMaster
University in Hamilton, Ontario, the study's lead author, told Reuters. The
researchers used powdered skim milk in the current study, available in any
grocery store.

The brain-damaging effects of alcohol strike women more quickly than men, a new
study conducted in Russia confirms.
Female alcoholics performed worse on a number of tests of neurocognitive

* Omega-3 oils may protect elderly brains: People who ate lots of fish had
slower cognitive decline, study found *
High blood levels of omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids, which are found in
fish oil, may help preserve thinking ability in the elderly, according to the
findings of two studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The results were particularly striking among subjects with high blood pressure
or high cholesterol levels.

Even modest reductions in salt intake can dramatically lower heart disease risk,
new research shows.

* Sugar *
Kids love roller coasters. Moms don't -- well, at least not the ones that take
place inside our homes! I'm talking about the "spike and crash" syndrome that
describes the rapid ups and downs of children's blood sugar levels when they eat
too much sugar and overly processed carbs, especially on an empty stomach.

* Sleep *
Ah...a good night's sleep. We all want to get in the recommended 7-8 hours, yet
according to the National Sleep Foundation, almost one-third of Americans sleep
6.5 hours or less each night. So, not only are we walking around in a bad mood,
eyes half open, giant cup of Joe in hand, but now research shows that we are
actually putting our heart at risk!

*** Book Review: The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in
Kids' Favorite Meals – By Missy Chase Lapine ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
Parents will do almost anything to get their kids to eat healthier, but
unfortunately, they've found that begging, pleading, threatening, and bribing
don't work. With their patience wearing thin, parents will "give in" for the
sake of family peace, and reach for "kiddie" favorites--often nutritionally
inferior choices such as fried fish sticks, mac n' cheese, Pop-sicles, and
cookies.
Missy Chase Lapine, former publisher of Eating Well magazine, faced the same
challenges with her two young daughters, and she sought a solution. Now in "The
Sneaky Chef," Lapine presents over 75 recipes that ingeniously disguise the most
important superfoods inside kids' favorite meals. With the addition of a few
simple make-ahead purees or clever replacements, (some may surprise you!)
parents can pack more fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants in their kids' foods.
Examples of "Sneaky" recipes include:
* No Harm Chicken Parm
* Power Pizza
* Incognito Burritos
* Guerilla Grilled Cheese
* Brainy Brownies
* Health-by-Chocolate Cookies
* Quick fixes for Jell-O(R)
It's a book chock-full of strategies that will help any parent incorporate
better health for the whole family.

Mediterranean Spinach
This spinach recipe helps you to get this super food into your diet very easily.
The simple dressing is the perfect complement. You will find that it doesn't
need anything else to be great tasting and satisfying.
Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
4 medium bunches fresh spinach
1/2 TBS lemon juice
1/2 TBS balsamic vinegar
2 medium cloves fresh garlic, pressed
1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
salt & cracked black pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Bring lightly salted water to a rapid boil in a large pot. Cut stems off
spinach leaves and clean well. This can be done easily by leaving spinach
bundled and cutting off stems all at once. Rinse spinach leaves very well as
they often contain a lot of soil. Cook spinach in simmering water for 2-3
minutes.
2. Drain and press out excess water. Toss in rest of ingredients and serve. Make
sure you don't toss spinach with dressing until you are ready to serve.
Otherwise the flavor will become diluted.
Serves 4
