Another bad consumer product

Eat for the health of it.

You have probably heard about (BPA) bisphenol A, It's an ingredient in making plastic containers like water bottles, baby bottles and pacifiers, plastic knives, forks and spoons, plastic bowls etc. In animal studies, it shows that BPA is unhealthy, prompting reproductive and hormone-related problems. And that was in using mice. But further studies have shown that high urinary BPA concentrations may be linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and abnormal amounts of liver enzymes and more than 90% of Americans have detected levels of BPA in their urine.

It is said that the FDA does not want to do anything about BPA because there is too much money involved. How do they put a price tag on our health? I guess it's all up to us, just spread the word that BPA is really bad for you. Stay clear of BPA by avoiding any liquids or foods that are stored in these type plastic bottles and containers. And the processed foods that are stored in these containers may even be worse than the BPA itself.

Just a health tip:

When grilling, marinate the meat to be grilled for 1 hour before grilling.

It is recommended for older adults to take a class in Tai Chi. It is an ancient Chinese martial art that uses a series of poses, gentle stretching, flowing motions to achieve balance.

If you want to get your Omega 3 by eating fish you will be better off eating farmed trout, farmed Atlantic salmon, and Coho. The fish with the least amount of Omega-3 is: Tuna, red snapper and corvina.

Laughter is Healthy: A lawyer boarded a plane in Anchorage Alaska with several pounds of frozen crab, he sees a blonde stewardess and cautions her to be sure she puts the crab in the freezer so they wouldn't thaw out. She assured him that she would do that. He again asked her if she put the crab in the freezer. Annoyed with him she assured him again that his crabs were safe. Just before landing in Toledo, Ohio the stewardess announced over the PA sytem, "Would the man that gave me the crabs, please raise your hand. Noone raised their hand and noone picked up the crab either.

Unbelievable, who would buy this?

Eat for the health of it.

I don't know if anyone else saw this add but I could not believe that anyone would take this drug. The medication is Ambien CR. The question was: What information should I know about Ambien CR?
After taking Ambien CR, you may get out of bed and do an activity that you do not remember. Even more risky is if you drink or take other medicines with Ambien CR.
Reported activities: (sleep driving) a car, making and eating food, talk on the phone, having sex and sleep-walking. And you do not remember doing these things. Who knows, maybe even worse then those.
Ambien CR is prescribed for insomnia, the serious side effects are: abnormal thoughts and behavior, confusion, hallucinations, memory loss, severe allergic reactions, like swelling of the tongue or throat, headaches, sleepiness and dizziness. I wouldn't take that stuff if they gave it to me. The ingredients alone scares me. I am sure I would have an allergic reaction to it.
I wonder if anyone with a sleep disorder ever thinks of drinking a glass of warm milk, before they go to bed. Maybe even invest in a bed that has a massage in it.

Helpful and healthy hints for the grill. Most people like to grill out and it's okay if you don't cremate your food. Another help is to marinate averything for at least a few minutes before grilling. Myself I am against microwaving(nuke) but if it doesn't worry you any, it helps to 'nuke' it for a couple of minutes before grilling it. Try not to char (burn) it. The burning causes heterocyclic amines (HCAs)which is bad for you because if not digested properly and you eat a lot that way, it can cause cancer. Also eating too much red meat can be bad for you. Try to stick with fish, chicken, turkey and eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, that always helps.

LAUGHTER IS HEALTHY: The wife walks into the kitchen as her husband is smacking the wall with a fly swatter. She asks,"What are you doing?" He answers,"Killing flies."
She asks,"Killing any?" He says,"Yep! 3 males and 2 females." What? she asks, "how can you tell which is which?" He responded, "3 were on the beer can and 2 were on the phone."
