| Article Title :: Do We Get Enough Nutrients From Our Diets? |
| |
| First of all let’s look at what ‘enough’ is. Everyone has heard of the Recommended Daily Allowance or RDA. You find these listed as percent RDA on the back of all foods that you buy. What does that mean? The RDA was developed in the 1920’s as a minimum requirement to avoid malnutrition. It was later improved in the 1950’s to include the amounts of vitamins and minerals needed for ‘normal growth’. Today’s scientific studies show that this is very different than the amounts that are probably needed to reduce the risk of chronic illnesses. The amounts of many vitamins (not all) that are needed for most people to stay healthy in their adult years are likely to be much higher t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Breakfast: A Dying American Pastime? |
| |
| According to a recent ABC News poll, Americans are showing a strong tendency of ignoring Mom's advice by consistently skipping
breakfast. In fact, almost half of the population between the ages of 18 and 54 skip breakfast on a regular basis.Skipping breakfast has been shown to guarantee lower performance at the workplace and in the classroom, ensuring tired brains, sluggish bodies and cranky moods. There is a center in the brain that registers when the body is missing nutrients. By mid-morning, many breakfast-cutters may indulge in a pick-me-up like coffee or a candy bar, but this is hardly enough to truly sustain the body until lunch time.

| Article Title :: Hail to the Kale! |
| |
| Okay, perhaps “Hail to the Kale” is an insipid title for an article. Let’s face it; kale is a hard word to rhyme. But, it’s better than the title I first came up with: “If kale had a degree, it’d be from Yale.”I guess what my feeble attempts at a clever title are trying to achieve is to convey kale’s amazing qualities. And, yes, a vegetable can be amazing. Particularly when it’s loaded with substances that can help protect one from cancer, cataracts, emphysema, and rheumatoid arthritis.Kale is not particularly a staple in most American households, but, after reading this article, I hope kale becomes a staple in your house.
