Which is the Better Choice: A Starbucks Venti
Java Chip Frappuccino Blended Coffee-whip or 2 Original Glazed Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

This one really shocked me when I was reviewing the nutrition information on the Starbuck?s website. Did you know that this 24 oz Frappuccino contains 650 calories? Never mind the calories, this sucker has 25 grams of fat, with 17 grams of that being saturated fat and 70 milligrams of cholesterol. I have not even [...]

Do I need salt during exercise

post from Fitness & Health with Dr. Gabe Mirkin on 13 April 2006 08:10:00 AM. © Fitness & Health with Dr. Gabe Mirkin

When you exercise for more than three hours, you should take in salt as well as fluids. A study from Switzerland followed female competitive distance runners who took in drinks with different concentration of salt during a four hour run. Ninety-two percent of those who took in plain water with no additional salt developed low blood levels of salt, which can be dangerous (British Journal of Sports Medicine, Volume 37, Issue 4, 2003).



Taking in fluid without also taking in adequate amounts of salt dilutes the bloodstream, so that the concentration of salt in the blood is lower than that in brain cells. This causes fluid to move from the low-salt blood into the higher-salt brain causing the brain to swell which can cause seizures and death. Taking in extra salt during prolonged exercise increases thirst so you drink more fluids, and prevents blood salt levels from dropping so low that you become tired, develop muscle cramps, and can even die. Furthermore, without salt you do not recover as quickly and are more likely to be injured or tired all the time.



If you're concerned about the reports of deaths from over-hydration, read about hyponatremia

Disease Mongering: Corporations Create New
'Illnesses'

post from Health Supreme on 13 April 2006 07:52:00 AM. © Health Supreme

"Disease mongering exploits the deepest atavistic fears of suffering and death. It is in the interests of pharmaceutical companies to extend the range of the abnormal so that the market for treatments is proportionately enlarged." Iona Heath, General Practitioner at the Caversham Practice in London Prevention is conspicuously absent from today's public health scene. The use of nutrition and other natural means of preventing and curing illness is actively, if covertly, discouraged by most health authorities across the world. It is strictly forbidden to inform the public about preventive and curative properties of any product not registered as a pharmaceutical drug, creating the illusion that foods and nutrition are ineffective...
