I literally cannot remember the last time I ate a sandwich, for instance. And when I do eat bread, I tend to opt for a thin slice or two of dark rye bread. I prefer rye to wheat bread partly [...] (Source: Dr John Biffa's Blog) Dr John Biffa's Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3335587 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:52:32 +0100 3335587 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2026813&cid=t_125095_132_f&fid=35016&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpeanutbutter.wordpress.com%2F2008%2F12%2F09%2Fmelting-away-misconceptions-the-strucure-of-the-mitotic-chromosome%2F I am sure many of you remember sitting in a science class as a child, or an early undergraduate course, being taught about cell replication. How DNA is passed from one cell to the next via either mitosis or meiosis in order to effect DNA replication and gene expression, so that the genetic information content of the DNA can be passed from one generation to the next. DNA can be organised inside packages within cells. These packages are called chromatin, which are found inside the nuclei of eukaryotic cells and the nucleoid of prokaryotic cells. Chromatin [1] is a complex combination of DNA, RNA and protein that forms a chromosome. To date, the commonly accepted hypothesis is that chromatin can take the following three organisational forms DNA wrapping around nucleosomes - The “be... peanutbutter blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2026813 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 11:39:25 +0100 2026813 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1298808&cid=t_125095_109_f&fid=35677&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FBrainBasedBusiness%2F%7E3%2F250453912%2Fnanoparticles_alter_brain_func.html  We’ve all been told to breath in deeply to relieve stress … or relax.

Should you have carbs for quick energy? Protein for endurance?Nothing? Forbes has the following suggestions: Start your day out with a light breakfast that low in fat and high in fibre with a bit of protein. Some bran flakes with fruit and fat-free milk is perfect. A smoothie is a great energizer for a cardio workout. Just make sure it doesn't have any refined sugars. Have a bit of protein mixed with carbs before lifting weights -- like peanut butter, almonds or string cheese An energy bar is a good on-the-go snack if you have no other options. Make sure it has less than 200 calories and more than 5 g of fiber A perfect pre-workout lunch...

My would be Eggs Benedict or a nice big serving of fresh waffles, but since neither is particularly healthy or convenient, I usually stick with cereal and some fruit. And not just any old cereal. It has to have lots of fibre, whole grains and little or no sugar. Sounds boring, right? Maybe, but it's good for my heart, according to this study. Participants were monitored and the results showed that those who ate high fibre, whole grain cereal 7 times a week had the least amount of heart problems -- by 28%. Eating cereal 7 days a week might not be your cup of tea -- I know it's not mine, as I love breaking it up with an omelet on weekends -- don't worry, because you're still better off than those who eat refined cereal or none at all.Read&nbs...
