Back when I was a child I hardly remember a problem with kids being too fat or getting tired so quickly. We were outside playing from sun-up to sun-down, come in for a glass of water and right back out the door. Even if a child was a little heavier, like Chubby from Our Gang, Continue reading Childhood Obesity →

One of the latest concerns in the world of healthy eating and diets is a special type of protein called gluten. Where did this suddenly gain so much popularity and why now? All of a sudden we are being asked to remove gluten from our diet because it leads to severe health issues. Some claim to have allergic reaction to gluten products causing skin rashes. There are also people that suffer from a condition called celiac disease. This disease impedes the digestion of gluten causing them to become very ill when eating foods that contain gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley, all three if which we were told in earlier years were a much healthier choice than white bread. Some say that gluten is getting overdue attention now, where as others claim that it's somewhat a fad. Have you tried shopping for gluten free products such as bread? I have and it's not so easy. Also, I read that all of gluten in wheat flour cannot be removed, AND, FDA guidelines only require that a certain amount of gluten be removed before the product can be labeled "gluten free" So when you go and look at all of these gluten free products, just remember, they may not be totally free of gluten.

Red Bull, Jolt, AMP, 6 Hour Power, Hype, etc. There are over 100 of these so called energy drinks or power boosters on the market. The thing that most of them have in common is that the source of power is mainly from the combination of sugar and caffeine. I personally don't use them, but like anything else, I believe that moderation is the key. I certainly wouldn't recommend them on a daily basis. While these drinks may offer a quick fix they can also have side effects such as crashing or other long term health issues. Also, if you need a boost of energy on a regular basis you should probably check other areas of your health such as your diet, amount of exercise, or sleep habits to find out why your energy is so low. Although I haven't heard of any addiction to these drinks, I'm sure like anything else, it can be habit forming. After all, caffeine is a stimulant (drug). So what do you think about energy drinks? Is it real? or just real hype?
