* Milk: The Best Muscle-Builder? -- Milk Helps Build More Muscle After Exercise Than Soy, Carb Drinks, Researchers Say *

Drink milk after your weight training workouts, and you may gain more muscle and lose more body fat than if you drink a soy or carbohydrate drink, according to the results of a new study.

Researchers compared the effects of drinking nonfat milk, a soy protein drink, or a carbohydrate drink on building muscle and burning fat after completing weight lifting workouts.

All three groups gained muscle, but the milk drinkers got the best results, says researcher Stuart M. Phillips, PhD, associate professor of kinesiology and an exercise physiologist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The study was funded by the National Dairy Council and published in the Aug. 1 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

* Prenatal stress may affect babies' sleep *

A mother's anxiety or depression during pregnancy may affect her child's sleep patterns early in life, a new study suggests.

Researchers found that babies and toddlers whose mothers had such symptoms during pregnancy tended to have more sleep problems than other young children.

* Do you overeat? Hormone may be to blame: Patients in study consumed less after receiving injections of leptin *

The hormone that tells us we are full also regulates our desire for certain foods, researchers said Thursday.

The finding sheds light on why people gain weight and could lead to new treatments for obesity.

* New Evidence Prevention Is Best Medicine -- Report: More Americans Following 5 Basic Steps Would Save Over 100,000 Lives Each Year In U.S. *

An ounce of prevention may be worth a pound of cure, but more Americans carrying out five basic preventive measures would save well over 100,000 lives in the United States annually, according to a new report.

It contains numbers to back the main principle of the Partnershp for Prevention, namely, that more emphasis on preventing disease, not just treating it, is needed in the U.S. health care system, and would result in much more efficient use of money spent for it.

* Oxygen *

Your brain and nervous system need three things for optimal function:

* proper nutrition (protein and balanced blood sugar),
* stimulation/activation
* oxygen

Oxygen is critical - your brain depends on adequate oxygen more than any other part of your body. As you age, you lose some of your capacity to utilize oxygen, approximately 1% per year. The older you get, the more oxygen deficiency becomes an issue.

* Enlightenment *

Human spiritual enlightenment occurs when your consciousness permanently expands beyond the limits of your body and your mind's self-created identity. The energetic membranes between the subconscious, conscious, and superconscious levels of the mind dissolve. As an enlightened human, you take 100% responsibility for co-creating your personal experience of reality. And you have zero judgment about what others are co-creating.

* Depression *

Okay, maybe I could have picked a different title, but the truth is most people have bought into the lie that depression must be treated with personality-altering, anti-depressant drugs with horrible side-effects. Listen to this! Annually, more than $8 billion in the United States and $12 billion worldwide are given to doctors and prescription companies for antidepressant medications. Some doctors report that more than 40% of middle-aged female patients are on this side-effect laden antidepressant medications. This is getting out of control!

*** Book Review: 7 Steps to a Pain-Free Life: How to Rapidly Relieve Back and Neck Pain – By Robin McKenzie with Craig Kubey ***

-------------------------------------------------------------

What causes chronic, debilitating back pain, one of the most common--and expensive to treat--ailments in the world? According to Robin McKenzie, a New Zealand physiotherapist for over 40 years and author of the wildly popular self-help manuals "Treat Your Own Back" and "Treat Your Own Neck," distortion of the spinal disks--either from bad posture or injury--is the cause of the pain. The magic cure is the McKenzie Method--seven very specific exercises that allow the spine to return to its natural position. But forget the doctors--McKenzie asserts that the management of your back pain is your responsibility. Practice his seven unique exercises (the book includes seven each for the back and neck) consistently and at regular intervals, and just about anyone can cure his or her own back or neck pain without the help of professionals. McKenzie believes self-treatment is actually more successful than medical interventions like surgery, chiropractic, or physical therapy, and indeed, recent research does show self-treatment to be a highly effective method.

More richly detailed and in-depth than his previous books, this volume is illustrated with over 100 photos and liberally peppered with real-life case histories. Starting with an analysis of how the back and neck work, it moves on to a discussion of the common causes of pain--bad posture is most often to blame. At the core is a detailed explanation of how to do the McKenzie Method exercises, when to apply them, and how to adjust your personal program over time. Included are instructions for people who suffer with acute back and neck pain (with appropriate cautions regarding when to call a medical professional) as well as for people in special situations like pregnant women, athletes, and seniors. An impassioned introduction by coauthor Craig Kubey, a satisfied convert after suffering intense back and neck pain as a result of several auto accidents, could very well make a believer out of anyone. --Marianne Painter

Pumpkin Custard

4-1/2 cups nonfat milk
2-1/4 cups egg substitute
2 cups pumpkin puree
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk all ingredients together making sure that sugar is dissolved before you begin baking. Spray inside of individual ramekins or custard cups with nonstick spray and fill each 3/4 full with custard mixture. Place ramekins in a larger baking dish that will allow for water to come at least halfway up the side of the ramekins. Fill large baking dish with boiling water and cover the top of the ramekins with parchment paper sprayed with nonstick spray. Place two utensils or metal skewers on top of the parchment to keep from curling off in the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes before checking with a skewer or fork tines to see if custard is cooked. The custard will continue to cook some as it cools so don't over cook. Serve with fresh berries, papaya, or other fresh fruit.
