Food Allergies

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 10:54:56 +0000

This is a subject which most people don’t even want to think about much less have to face in our Cheesy country where mounds of the gooey stuff drip all over morsels of food in any ad we see whether it be television, magazine or newspaper ads. Not only can we taste this delicious goo in our mouths just by looking at the lovely, happy, delectable pictures we see, but the temptation is beyond most of our restraints. My husband began experiencing bouts of inexplicable diarrhea and waves of stomach cramps periodically and finally realized he would have to see a Doctor. The Doctor examined him saying he didn’t see anything Wrong with him except to watch his stomach as he had Pre Ulcer conditions. One day my husband said he was going to do some self tests. He asked himself one day, “What is making me ill some days and not others?” He set out by testing himself using the process of elimination of foods. He had long been an eater of meat and cheese sandwiches and just decided to eliminate one of them. So while on vacation we brought a big deli array to our son’s house and there the experiments took place. One day, no meat. The symptoms ran rampant, but the next day…all meat sandwiches and no negative reaction. Interesting isn’t it he omitted the meat first.

Preventing Food Poisoning

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 10:54:59 +0000

Food poisoning can easily develop in food if it is not stored probably at the correct temperatures and in the correct place. Food stored at warm temperatures will attract the multiplication of organisms that can get into your food and cause food poisoning. Foods like most meats, vegetables, fruit and dairy products will need to be refrigerated or stored in a cold room, particularly if you live in an area with warm humid weather where the growth of bacteria and organisms is accelerated. Liquid dairy products like milk and crème should always be pasteurized or treated in a way to stop outbreaks of staphylococcus infections that can add to the growth of bacteria in raw milk before it is heat treated. This can also apply to cheese and ice cream. Canned meats have also been believed to caused outbreaks of staphylococcus infections so it is important to make sure that they are sealed properly and that they are sterilized right. Although all of the above can cause food poisoning, the easiest way to cause food poisoning is with your hands, hands are a very important element in the spreading of food poisoning and will cause a quick spread throughout your food if you don’t maintain hygiene. Food poisoning can spread between preparation of different food and even between raw foods and cooked foods.

Today’s Health Food Stores

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:55:02 +0000

Health food stores are emerging at a rapid rate across the country. They are expanding their numbers increasingly. Many health food stores are worker owned cooperatives and consumers’ cooperatives due in part to their growth of popularity during the counter culture movement of the 1960s and 1970s and the ability of cooperative buying power to bring lower costs to the consumer. Regulators need to consider regulations to better protect vulnerable patients from incurring significant costs due to their purchasing of natural health food products lacking evidence of benefit and of questionable safety. GNC has its own line of homeopathic products as well as natural herbs. The recent boom in health food stores has provided an enormous variety of high quality products that are heads above the processed junk loaded with preservatives currently sold in today’s super markets. In addition to the wider array of health food products, health food stores are often a good source of milk substitutes, cruelty-free cosmetics, bulk grains, nuts and seeds, organic fruits and vegetables, non-toxic cookware, vegetarian meat substitutes, non-dairy cheese alternatives, fat-free natural pastries, and fast-food delis. Don’t assume that chickens or eggs in health food stores are raised on pasture or are fed organic feed. It is more labor intensive on pasture and organic feed costs twice as much.

Food Programming and Self Esteem

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:55:05 +0000

The reward and punishment program worked well to produce boys and girls that did what they were told and got an ice-cream or who didn’t and got a smack! It is a well known fact that rewarding “good” behavior and punishing “bad” behavior will quickly train your pet to act exactly how you want it to – i.e. perform tricks, use the litter tray, salivate in response to the food bell! This system works because the actions are programmed behaviors in response to a particular stimulus. And, what is mostly used for the reward is a food treat. Even if we didn’t deliberately set out to do so, we use very similar techniques on children – “eat up all your greens and you can have an ice-cream”, “you can have a loll only if you’re a good boy”. Or maybe it’s a grazed knee which prompts “there, there, don’t cry – here’s a sweet to make you better”. Growing up we learn an association between certain foods and a reward or treat. We learn that we get these things when we are “good” or if we’re feeling unhappy in order to make us better again. Now, in animals where you have control over the food source, there is generally no problem. But, babies and toddlers soon grow up to be able to reach the cookie jar for themselves.

Food Dehydrator Reviews

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 10:55:07 +0000

When buying a food dehydrator you’ll want to get the most efficient model for your dollar. Food dehydrator shopping can be difficult if you are unsure of what you are looking for. However it can be easy if you know what you want to do with one. A few practical steps will help you better shop for the right food dehydrator. Read on and I’ll show you just how simple buying the right food dehydrator really is. Some ideas to review when shopping for a food dehydrator can be made into a small rather simplistic list. Think about how much storage space your dehydrator will need. This can be done by figuring out not only how often you’ll be dehydrating food but how many different types of foods you plan on dehydrating in your food dehydrator. If you’ll be dehydrating many different types of foods quite frequently or at the same time then consider buying 2 smaller food dehydrators for about the same cost as one larger food dehydrator. The reason this is a practical idea is because different types of foods need to dehydrate for different time periods and have different drying times. For instance you would never want to dehydrate meat and fruit at the same time in your food dehydrator because the drying times are just too different.
