If you’re exercising (and I hope you are) then you need to fuel that exercise with good nutrition before and after your workout. May is National Runners Month — but even if you don’t run you will benefit from learning how to optimize your performance (and maximize health benefits) from fueling well. The Cherry Marketing Institute is sponsoring a special #MeFirst Twitter party with sports nutritionist (and ultra marathoner) Rebecca Scritchfield, RD (that’s me!) on Monday, May 16 at 8:30 p.m. EST to talk about how your body’s “fuel” plays a key role in managing post-exercise muscle pain and soreness – especially anti-inflammatory foods,...

A bottle of red wine, right? Nope, but another red drink might do the trick. Researchers found that adults who drank eight ounces of tart cherry juice every morning and evening for two weeks had a significant drop in insomnia during those two weeks. The reason is the antioxidant melatonin in cherry juice. It is produced naturally by the body, and it helps make you sleepy at night and awake during the day. Would you try this to get better sleep? via Huffington Post Post from: BlissTree Not Sleeping Sucks: Could Cherry Juice Help Insomnia?

I think she would steal the show at any leaders' debate - and I hope David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Gordon Brown all watch this for tips.

Erin and I hosted one at our house a few months ago, and we’ll be hosting another one in August. Typically 20-25 people will attend (I’ve seen as many as 35), so these potlucks are a nice way to meet local raw food enthusiasts and to sample a variety of tasty items. At previous potlucks I’ve brought guacamole, nori rolls, and garlic “bread,” but by far the most popular item I’ve made was a raw fruit pie. I’ve brought raw pies to three potlucks, and I always brought home an empty pie plate. People always compliment me on how good they are. Raw fruit pies are very easy to make. Depending on what kind of fruit you use, it can take as little as 20 minutes from start t...

A study conducted by Dr. Steven F. Bolling at the University of Michigan, shows that eating cherries may lower body fat, weight, cholesterol and inflammation. Our bodies use inflammation to fight off infection and injury. A chronic state of inflammation can raise your risk of heart disease.  With 2 out of 3 people overweight or obese in the United States, especially around their middle, this problem is more prevalent. In the study rats were feed a (Western Diet) which was high in fat and moderate carbohydrates.  The study added tart cherry powder to some of the rat’s diet, which caused them to maintain lean muscle mass as well as a decrease in...

Otherwise stories such as this will drive the American people into the arms of a single payer or other form of public health care system: When the Golden Rule Insurance Company rejected her application for health coverage last year, Peggy Robertson was mystified. "It made no sense," said Ms. Robertson, 39, who lives in Centennial, Colo. "I'm in perfect health."She was turned down because she had given birth by Caesarean section. Having the operation once increases the odds that it will be performed again, and if she became pregnant and needed another Caesarean, Golden Rule did not want to pay for it. A letter from the company explained that if she had be...

Yes, I said tart cherries. This subject matter has been popping up frequently over the last few weeks and I decided to go for it this morning and focus on that bright red, yummy tart cherry. It seems that these tiny little pieces of fruit have some real big health benefits for diabetes and heart disease. Rats that received whole tart cherry powder mixed into a high-fat diet didn’t gain as much weight or build up as much body fat as rats that didn’t receive cherries. And their blood showed much lower levels of molecules that indicate the kind of inflammation that has been linked to heart disease and diabetes. In addition, they had significantly lower blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides than the other rats. Where can you find tart cherries? They are frequ...

Or, if they’re thinking at all. Whose idea was it to have a padded room—-the “padding” being gym mats that, as parent Lisa Grams notes in an interview on CBS3News.com, smelled of urine—-in Russell Knight Elementary School in Cherry Hill, New Jersey? Gram has a 7-year-old autistic son who attends the school; parents did not know that the room existed until this past October.   Grams said her son, who is autistic, was never placed in the room. She wonders though about other children.A School District spokesperson tells CBS 3 the room was only used once for a student in crisis with prior parental consent...

Yes, we do have a sense of humor. Though another’s (like the writers of Desperate Housewives, perhaps?) insecurities should not be on another’s (like the Filipinos, for one?) expense.

When the pharmaceutical companies cherry pick the studies they wish to use for their gain, and not so much for your enhanced quality of life - they must've lost this study. Please read the entire study (if you have access to it in a local library) but what grabbed my undivided attention was the sentence that says: it was observed that the action of porcine insulin was associated with... a striking increase of prolactinaemia, in relation to semisynthetic human insulin.
