it became a pork chop,'" said Mary Ellen Burris, senior vice president of

* Studies: Restless legs syndrome is real *
Scientists have linked certain genes to restless legs syndrome, suggesting the
twitching condition described as "jimmy legs" in a "Seinfeld" episode is
biologically based and not an imaginary disorder.

* Vitamin C useless for preventing or treating colds *
For the average person, popping vitamin C pills is unlikely to ward off the
common cold or shorten its length or severity. However, for people exposed to
short bouts of extreme physical exercise or cold temperatures, vitamin C may
markedly reduce their risk of catching a cold.

*** Health/Safety Tips & Articles for the Week ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Cravings *
Have you ever said to yourself "Today is the day I am going to start eating
healthier!"? I think we have all said this to ourselves at one time or another.
But why don't we stick with it? One of the problems is that we often think that
eating healthier means eliminating foods that we crave, like chocolate chip
cookies or the tempting bag of your favorite snack. When I talk with people
about their cravings, everyone usually has at least one thing that seems to be
standing in their way. Most people, in attempt to eat healthier, tell themselves
"I am never going to eat that again" or "I shouldn't eat that." But then
suddenly they find themselves with an intense craving for the very thing they
are trying to give up.

* Meditation *
If Goldilocks were to leaf through a few meditation books, she might find some
approaches to be too hot, others too cold. But soon enough, we know she'd land
on a system that feels "just right" to her. She always does.
Meditation is Like Porridge
When you take your first taste of meditation, it is good to follow your inner
guidance. Too hot? Too cold? Find an approach that feels "just right" as it
offers you a bridge from your everyday state of mind into the clarity,
awakening, and healing you seek.

* Barbecues *
Warm weather brings flowers, sunshine, and BBQs that create happy memories.
These events can also quickly derail healthy eating habits! Here are five easy
tips to keep you on track amidst the eating frenzy that can tempt even the most
disciplined eater:
1) Drink lots of water: the easiest way to avoid stuffing your face is to remain
hydrated. Often times we think we are hungry when it's really thirst we're
looking for. Keeping a drink in hand will not only keep you busy, but also help
you to glow from the inside out!

*** Book Review: Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide to
Healthy Eating – By Walter C. Willett, M.D. with Patrick J. Skerrett ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
Aimed at nothing less than totally restructuring the diets of Americans, "Eat,
Drink, and Be Healthy" may well accomplish its goal. Dr. Walter C. Willett gets
off to a roaring start by totally dismantling one of the largest icons in health
today: the USDA Food Pyramid that we all learn in elementary school. He blames
many of the pyramid's recommendations--6 to 11 servings of carbohydrates, all
fats used sparingly--for much of the current wave of obesity. At first this may
read differently than any diet book, but Willett also makes a crucial, rarely
mentioned point about this icon: "The thing to keep in mind about the USDA
Pyramid is that it comes from the Department of Agriculture, the agency
responsible for promoting American agriculture, not from the agencies
established to monitor and protect our health." It's no wonder that dairy
products and American-grown grains such as wheat and corn figure so prominently
in the USDA's recommendations.
Willett's own simple pyramid has several benefits over the traditional format.
His information is up-to-date, and you won't find recommendations that come from
special-interest groups. His ideas are nothing radical--if we eat more
vegetables and complex carbohydrates (no, potatoes are not complex), emphasize
healthy fats, and enjoy small amounts of a tremendous variety of food, we will
be healthier. You'll find some surprises as well, such as doubts about the
overall benefits of soy (unless you're willing to eat a pound and a half of tofu
a day), and that nuts, with their "good" fat content, are a terrific snack.
Relying on research rather than anecdotes, this is a solidly written nutritional
guide that will show you the real story behind how food is digested, from the
glycemic index for carbs to the wisdom of adding a multivitamin to your diet.
Willett combines research with matter-of-fact language and a no-nonsense tone
that turns academic studies into easily understandable suggestions for living.
