Asthma is the seventh-ranked chronic health condition in the United States and the leading chronic illness of children. It is a chronic inflammatory disease that makes airways (bronchial tubes) particularly sensitive to irritants. During an asthma attack, tightening of the smooth muscles around the bronchial tubes causes them to become inflamed, narrow inside, and produce excess mucus. This makes it difficult for air to pass in and out of the lungs and decreases the oxygen levels in the blood. A person suffering from an asthma attack has a sensation similar to drowning. It is currently estimated that as many as 300 million people world wide suffer from asthma, and that number continues to rise Here...

If you are a pure non-vegetarian, you will probably raise a hue and cry at the thought of turning vegetarian! But the truth is that meat of any kind is tough on your smart cells. If Nature intended you to be a non-vegetarian, she would have equipped you with claws, and sharp pointed teeth to tear into any flesh; given you acidic saliva to digest the animal protein; a round stomach with the capacity to produce plenty of hydrochloric acid, fewer intestines to shorten the process of digesting the meat so that you could expel it before it putrefies inside; a liver that could dispel more uric acid than it does.Instead, we have hands with moveable fingers that can delicately...

Crock-pot cooking can offer some very tasty meals and desserts however some basic rules should be followed when using a crock-pot to cook with.

Unless the recipe states otherwise, seafood only needs to be included during the last hour of cooking time. Pasta and rice cook...

The East Caribbean island of Cuba has a rich cultural heritage from which has arisen culinary traditions that are as vibrant and varied as the variety of cultures that have contributed to the development of this distinct and delicious cuisine. In addition to the ancient influence of the native peoples of Cuba, the Spaniards brought their own culinary styles, tinged by those of the Moors who held huge parts of Spain for centuries. The slaves that were brought from Africa made significant culinary and cultural contributions, with other culinary traditions being brought to the island with the French colonists fleeing uprisings in Haiti.

It is a day, in fact an entire weekend, for us to accomplish two things: remembering and appreciating the ultimate sacrifice made by others and exercising those...

Refined carbohydrates and processed food do more to spike appetite than meets the eye, and appetite suppressants typically do less than advertised, according to this article by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger. A Paris-based pharmaceutical company has unveiled an experimental new drug to combat obesity. The drug is, according to preliminary research data, a powerful appetite suppressant. Prescribe it to patients, the thinking goes, and they'll automatically eat less. Sounds good at first, but here's the real story on appetite suppressants and prescription drugs. Appetite suppressants initially seem to be a promising strategy for weight loss. By taking a prescription drug or an...

Few states have such a strong culinary tradition as Alabama culinary arts. In large part, this is a result of Southerners' love of good food and the tradition of handing down recipes from parent to child. With a long tradition of rich southern foods and spectacular regional recipes, Alabama's food heritage is well known. It isn't surprising that it has given rise to renowned regional specialists such as Frank Stitt, owner of the Bottega, Chez Fonfon and the Highlands Bar and Grill, and renowned Chef George Panayiotou. For Alabama residents with a love of cooking in their hearts, there are many ways to pursue a career in cooking. Because there are so many family owned restaurants that specialize in...

When high diastolic pressures in the heart build up into the veins and capillaries, then congestive heart failure can occur, which in turn causes a leakage of fluid out of those vessels. Heart failure is the end result of many different cardiac and pericardial diseases. These include: - Decreased myocardial contractibility. This is a weak heart muscle, which is commonly seen with dilated cardiomyopathy. - Valvular regurgitation. This is a leak in one of the four heart valves, as seen with mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. - Increased myocardial stiffness, which impairs the heart's ability to fill with blood. In the beginning, the signs of congestive heart failure can be quite mild and difficult to...

Have you ever wondered what the difference between a great chef and an ordinary chef is? How can one produce food recipes that are remembered and another produce food that is quickly forgotten? Disregarding all the jokes about never trusting a skinny chef I can only say that the 80/20 rule applies in this profession the same as in other professions. It is a fact of life that 20% of lawyers, doctors, accountants, financial planners etc. are outstanding; the other 80% are mediocre to awful. The same applies to all trades and professions. So the challenge vis-à­¶is chefs is to find what differentiates the 20% from the 80%. The first thing you will notice about the top 20% is creativity; they create...

"What an absurd thing it is to pass over all the valuable parts of a man, and fix our attention on his infirmities." - Joseph Addison, English essayist, poet, & politician (1672 - 1719) I was reminded this week of a wonderful story told by Dr. Wayne Dyer, one of my favorite inspirational writers and speakers. Dr. Dyer has been featured on Public Television recently talking about inspiration. In his presentations, he shares this remarkable story about how an African tribe handles misconduct within the tribe. Instead of attacking the person and focusing on what they did wrong, the entire tribe lovingly gathers around the accused person. Then for days, or how ever long it takes, each individual in the...

Do we believe the hype? I've read the brochure, visited the website and watched all the DVDs. In fact if there's any piece of promotional material for the Big Green Egg that I haven't read I'd be surprised and it all sounds too good to be true. That is of course if you are a barbecue nutcase like me! If you're lucky enough to live in North America (and to some extent in Europe) you've probably heard of a Big Green Egg but I have to confess that it wasn't until I started to publish my smoker grill recipes that I actually discovered the Egg and it's humble origins in the Orient. I was intrigued, but living in the UK, how do I get hold of one? I phoned Big Green Egg in the US, they were really helpful...

If you're considering adopting or buying a small dog with a good temperament, you might consider the Affen Poo. The Affen Poo is actually a mixed breed, a cross between an Affenpinscher and a Poodle. Some Affen Poos are considered designer breeds. An Affen Poo is considered designer if both parents are purebred dogs. Hybrid, or crossbred, dogs are very popular, and the Affen Poo is so cute that it is no exception! In order to research what type of pet an Affen Poo will be, you should probably research the Affenpinscher and the Poodle separately. Since the Affen Poo is a cross of the two dogs, then you can expect it to have a mixture of characteristics, some from each parent. For example, an Affen...

Thinking about, or starting a raw food diet? Here are a few points to consider and help you along the way. Raw foodism is the practice of eating a raw food diet and is practiced by people known as raw foodists. Raw food recipes can be found in cookbooks devoted to the category, or hidden away in more traditional cookbooks. When you find a recipe you like, be sure to save it so you can enjoy it any time. Enzymes are proteins that are made in living cells and help certain biochemical processes. Raw food diets focus on the enzymes that promote health and aid digestion. Heating food past 116F kills these beneficial enzymes, which is why raw food is better. Most raw foodists do eat cooked food, but only...

Rice has always been the staple food in Filipino cuisine, but until recently, plain and fried were the only varieties we knew. It was only a few years ago that we started playing around with rice recipes such as java, garlic, chili, and Chinese. But what seems to be a hit among Filipinos is rice toppings, wherein meat and vegetable dishes are served on top of a box of rice. It's the same old Filipino food, but packed in a light, convenient way. You've probably seen them in malls, sidewalks, and school cafeterias. But although they come in handy on busy days, they're often overpriced, especially considering that you can do them yourself at home. That's right-you don't have to run to the mall whenever...

Cooking refers specially to the preparation of food following recipes by subjecting edible materials to the action of heat. But cooking involves much more. Cooking of food is a science as well as an art and it depends for its success on known and established principles.

Drugs prescribed to relieve pain or relax muscles in cervical spondylosis do not cure the disease.

I believe we all have sweet memories of the times when our only way to get on the World-Wide-Web was a dial-up Internet service. Oh, this was the time of the first humble steps of internet.

A few months ago I noticed a beautiful Asian girl in my school. I am a white guy living in Portland, Oregon, but I have known many Asian people and have studied Chinese for a few years. Anyway, I learned from a classmate that she was from Singapore. She seemed very shy and it seemed like she could not speak English well.

I would see her everyday in school though, and I could not help looking at...

"Can bamboo shoots really be eaten?" my 7 year old child asks, "Yes" I tentantively reply, but my knowledge is poor, so I research. Bamboo shoots can be eaten from certain bamboos, I learn that Bamboo shoots must be peeled and cooked before using. It is important to note that bamboo shoots must not be eaten raw.

The shoots should be cut across the grain into one-eighth inch slices. The bamboo shoots should then be cooked in boiling water in an uncovered pan for 20 minutes, it is important to leave the pan uncovered as this allows the...

Whatever your child's talents, you can help him feel loved and therefore empowered to do whatever he desires. This involves concentrating on your interaction and personal relationship with your child, the language you use, the love you show, the trust and responsibility you bestow upon him, and just being happy with him whatever his likes and dislikes, and whoever he is. The way we think influences how we feel, our self-esteem and our achievement.
