* Whole Grains Get Hearty Support: People Who Eat Whole Grains Are Less Likely
to Have Heart Disease, Research Shows *
There's a new report to add to the stack of studies on the heart benefits of
whole grains.
People who eat 2.5 daily servings of whole grains are about one-fifth less
likely to have heart disease than those who skimp on whole grains, a new
research review shows.
But relatively few people have made whole grains a dietary staple, note the
reviewers, who included Philip Mellen, MD, of Wake Forest University's internal
medicine department.

* Cholesterol Too High in Many Women: Among High-Risk Patients, Men May Be More
Likely Than Women to Have Optimal Cholesterol Levels *
Women may need to put cholesterol on their list of things to discuss with their
doctor, a new study suggests.
The study, published online in Women's Health Issues, shows that among high-risk
patients, optimal levels of LDL "bad" cholesterol may be less common among men
than women.

* Study: Web can encourage exercise *
People who spend their days in front of a computer may want to check out some
fitness-related Web sites, according to a study published Monday.
Researchers found that Internet-based exercise programs worked as well as
printed advice in getting sedentary adults to take up regular physical activity.
One year into the study, the Internet users were getting 80 to 90 minutes of
exercise each week.

* Fewer U.S. women getting mammograms: Proportion getting breast cancer
screening drops for first time *
After rising steadily for decades, the proportion of U.S. women getting
mammograms to screen for breast cancer has dropped for the first time, federal
researchers are reporting today.
The overall rate at which women are undergoing regular mammograms fell 4 percent
between 2000 and 2005, marking the first significant decline since use of the
breast X-rays started expanding rapidly in 1987, the study by the National
Cancer Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.

-------------------------------------------------------------
* Prosperity *
Emmet Fox, a 1940's new thought minister, stressed the importance of setting a
mental equivalent to create an abundant life, borrowing the term from chemistry
and physics. If engineers can work out the equivalent of heat in order to
determine how much energy it represents in the form of another energy, so can
we. What does this say about the way we are perfectly capable of instituting
positive change in our lives and world?

* Emotional Wellness *
Your emotions, your sentiments, your thoughts--the whole paraphernalia of the
mind--are manipulated by the outside. Scientifically, it has become more clear
now, but even without scientific investigation the mystics have been saying
exactly the same thing for thousands of years--that all these things your mind
is filled with are not yours; you are beyond them. You get identified with them,
and that's the only problem.

a. An all-organic, low-fat, vegetarian diet.
b. A high-protein, low-fat diet that includes chicken and seafood.
c. A high-carb diet with pasta and grains.

*** Book Review: The American Heart Association Low-Salt Cookbook: A Complete
Guide to Reducing Sodium and Fat in Your Diet – By American Heart Association
***
-------------------------------------------------------------
About 60 million Americans have high blood pressure, which increases their risk
of heart disease. The two best ways to lower blood pressure without medication
are lowering sodium in your diet and controlling your weight. The American Heart
Association cookbooks always help you reduce the fat in your diet--now this one
helps you reduce the sodium, too.
Don't think that reducing sodium means your food will be boring and tasteless.
"The American Heart Association Low-Salt Cookbook" shows you how to use herbs,
spices, and in some cases, spirits to keep your dishes flavorful. Learn how to
make ingredient substitutions so that you can adapt your favorite
recipes--"seasoning blends" like Herb Seasoning, Lemon Herb Seasoning, Salad
Herb Blend, or Chili Powder Blend instead of salt, for example. The 175 recipes
include modifications of familiar favorites, such as Tuna Macaroni Casserole,
Arroz con Pollo, Beef Stroganoff, and Meat Loaf. There are also intriguing new
recipes, such as Fish Steaks with Thyme, and Chicken with Yogurt-Cilantro Sauce.
There are also sauces, soups, snacks, and salads. Thirty dessert recipes give
you healthier versions of all your old favorites, including Peanut Butter
Cookies, Fudge, Cherry Pie, Vanilla Pudding, and, of course, Chocolate Cake. All
recipes include nutritional information: calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat
(total, saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated), cholesterol, sodium,
potassium, and calcium. --Joan Price
