This doesn’t mean we should be skipping breakfast. The problem may be what we historically think of as an “American&#8221...

This can be helpful if you are interested in learning about a food or kitchen item, but don't want to spend the money until you know more. I find it hard to imagine that you can really get free cell phones, but for the kitchen, I noticed there were offers, at least at the time I am typing this, for free Magic Grip Jar Openers; free Fiber Plus Cereal; free samples from Gerber and also free Enfamil samples for new mothers; free Men's Health Guides; free french fries and the list goes on and on.

It empowers anxiety. It gives anxiety legs, fuel and a superhero costume. You get the picture: Worrying gives us a false sense of control. I’m a worrywart, who feels like she has to worry. (Don’t all worrywarts?) Because if I’m not concerned about one thing or another, that means I have no choice but to relax. And relaxing feels strange — not always, but most of the time. Relaxing means that the grip on control is loosened. For many people, worrying is living. You can’t help but worry. You have an endless list of “what ifs?” What if I lose my job? What if I get into a car accident right now? What if dinner is disgusting? What if the weather is bad? What if I miss my flight? Concern after concern pop...

Breakfast improves their overall nutrition and their performance in school, among other things. But how helpful can breakfast really be if it consists of cereal deluged in sugar? “Not very” is the answer. Thankfully, a new study by Jennifer Harris and colleagues at Yale suggests that kids are perfectly willing to consume low-sugar cereals instead, particularly if they can add a pinch of table sugar or fresh fruit to the mix. To evaluate kids’ willingness to eat low-sugar cereals, Harris’ team randomized 91 kids between the ages of five and 12 to two groups. Kids in the first group were offered low-sugar cereals like Cheerios, Corn Flakes, and Rice Krispies, which contain one to four grams of sugar per servin...

This is a poweful invitation to gluten relapse. The McD’s is just around the corner. But I know if I go there for breakfast, I am more likely to relapse. And I really don’t need that.

And since completely abstaining is not always possible, the best antidote for this holiday deluge of inflammation is obvious: Exercise. No doubt, within the boundaries of common sense, all exercise is good. But is there a best time of day to exercise? Tara Parker-Pope’s New York Times piece suggests that the most “productive” time of day to exercise is before breakfast. In concisely reviewing a Belgian exercise physiology study, Ms. Parker-Pope points out that, in blunting the undesirable effects of a high fat and sugar diet, pre-breakast (fasting) exercise was metabolically more efficient than was exercise later in the day. That’s really good news for the overweight...

I went to Princeton.” ~ Jack Donaghy, Character on NBC’s show “30 Rock” You probably have heard on the news about the problem with bedbugs in hotels. Nasty little things. They come out at night and suck your blood while you sleep. I like vampire stories as much as the next guy, but when it comes to my blood I am very possessive. I don’t want to share it with a bug. I assume you feel the same. You can learn more than you’d ever want to know about these creatures at the government’s CDC website here, but suffice to say that it is worth an ounce of prevention to cope with them beforehand, particularly this holiday travel season.

My wife and I moved to North County San Diego about a year ago. In the process we had to find new restaurants, stores, and other businesses. It’s always hard to give up the great experiences you had in your last location. You just hope to find something similar in the new. One Saturday my wife and I headed out to the town of Vista to look for breakfast and I looked up local restaurants on Yelp. Yelp is a popular web site where people leave reviews of restaurants and other local businesses. A few good ones popped up, but one stood out with great five star reviews so we decided to head on over to discover the Sunrise Café. We were ...

I aspire to wake up early so that I can eat a leisurely breakfast while reading the paper (printed on actual paper) rather than grabbing a thing of yogurt as I run out the door, but it just hasn’t ever happened. Maybe with these tips from Care2 I’ll be able to get up earlier and easier. Care to join me? 1. Listen to your body. When you’re tired, go to bed. And get up at the same time every day, even if you accidentally stay up too late one night. You’ll eventually get your body into a cycle. 2. Remember that the sleep cycle is 90 minutes long. Instead of shooting for a solid eight hours, aim for increments of 90 minutes. You’ll feel less groggy in the morning. 3. Don’t cut out sleep all at once. If you sleep t...

Here is more information about both.Eggs: The egg recall is leading to the recall of over 450 million eggs. The source seems to be a couple of Iowa farms that have a reputation for poor farming conditions. The first farm to recall eggs is the Wright County Egg farm owned by a business man named Austin DeCoster. The recall was as a result of salmonella poisoning. Later, another egg farm owned by him, Hillandale Farms, also recalled their eggs. When I look at the news reports, I wonder if the images I am seeing are actually from the inside of these farms, but wherever the footage is taken, it looks as cruel as I would expect from an egg farm that is only looking at chickens as $$ signs would look...chicken...

Case 1: The Pea Tendril. Pea tendrils (also know as pea shoots or greens) are the tender young leaves and delicate shoots of the pea plant, all of which are edible. They have a crisp texture and taste like a cross between peas and spinach. This is an exciting way to get your nutrient-rich greens in, and they are high in vitamin A and C, and folic acid. A veggie seasonal to the spring and early summer, you will probably only find them in your farmers market or a specialty grocer. Pick out fresh stems with a bright green color, and make sure they are not too dry or stiff. They can be served raw, tossed in a salad, or wilted, by lightly steaming or stir-frying them.

Slowly stir in the oats. When the oatmeal begins to thicken, lower the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes or until cooked through.

It seems the entire world loves this simple, beautiful song. But try finding a cover that does justice to the original, which was written by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer for Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. By her own admission, Hepburn could not carry a tune, so she performed “Moon River” in a breathy, conversational style. Even so, songwriter Mercer considered Hepburn’s version to be the definitive one amid dozens of hits by the biggest names in show business. Many of the video tributes to Hepburn, who died of cancer on January 20, 1993, play “Moon River” over images from Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

That’s because - familiar breakfast foods trigger the olfactory bulb, which controls scents  - the most powerful of the five senses. Other triggers will help too.
