Five Foods That Boost Weight Loss Eating to lose weight isn't just about living on carrot sticks and dry melba toasts. In fact, it can't be, because that's not a plan you can -- or would -- stick to for life. Instead, try these flavorful foods. Done right, you'll delight guests and fit in smaller clothes by summer with these: 1. Salmon: The omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA especially) in this fish may help your body lose fat -- especially when coupled with exercise. 2. Eggs: They're back on the healthy-foods list. Dieters who eat eggs for breakfast stave off hunger longer (which keeps them from eating more at lunch and beyond) than the folks who load up on carbs at breakfast. 3. Peanuts: It may seem counterintuitive -- after all, they are high in fat and calories -- but a small daily serving of peanuts keeps your waist thinner. Remember, we said a small serving; that means 20 dry-roasted nuts. Just make sure you substitute the nuts for a high-calorie food that's already in your diet. 4. Apples: Munch on an apple before every meal, and you'll be less likely to clean your dinner plate (and anyone else's). Apples are packed with filling fiber, but aren't high in calories, so you fill up without busting out. 5. Fava beans: These creamy beans are loaded with flavonoids. And a 14-year study in women showed that high flavonoid intake wards off the worst fat, belly fat. ======== The YOU Docs, Mehmet Oz and Mike Roizen, are authors of "YOU: On a Diet." Want more?

God vs. Satan And God populated the Earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach and green and yellow vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. And Satan created McDonald's. And McDonald's brought forth the 99-cent double cheeseburger. And Satan said to Man "You want fries with that?" And Man said, "Super size them". And Man gained pounds. And God created the healthful yogurt, that woman might keep her figure that Man found so fair. And Satan froze the yogurt, and he brought forth chocolate, nuts and brightly colored sprinkle candy to put on the yogurt. And woman gained pounds. And God said "Try my crispy fresh salad." And Satan brought forth creamy dressings, bacon bits and shredded cheese. And there was ice cream for dessert. And Woman gained pounds. And God said "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil with which to cook them." And Satan brought forth chicken-fried steak from Cracker Barrel so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained pounds, and his bad cholesterol went through the roof. And God brought forth running shoes, and Man resolved to lose those extra pounds. And Satan brought forth cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil to change channels between ESPN and ESPN2. And Man gained pounds. And God said "You are running up the score, Devil." And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And he created sour cream dip also. And Man clutched his remote control and ate the potato chips swaddled in cholesterol. And Satan saw and said "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest. And God sighed and created quadruple by-pass surgery... And Satan created HMOs...

NASA's Ballpoint Pen During the heat of the space race in the 1960's, NASA decided it needed a ball point pen to write in the zero gravity confines of its space capsules. After considerable research and development, the Astronaut Pen was developed at a cost of $1 million U.S. The pen worked and also enjoyed some modest success as a novelty item back here on earth. The Soviet Union, faced with the same problem, used a pencil.

Easter eggs may be healthy, but only a few BRANDENBURG, Germany (UPI) -- Easter eggs -- the dark chocolate kind -- in small quantities can lower blood pressure and reduce heart disease risk, researchers in Germany found. Study leader Dr. Brian Buijsse of the German Institute of Human Nutrition and colleagues tracked 19,357 people, ages 35-65, for at least 10 years. The study participants -- part of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer -- had their blood pressure checked, height and weight measurements taken and they answered questions about diet, lifestyle and health. The study, published in the European Heart Journal, found those who ate the most chocolate -- an average of 7.5 grams a day, about one-quarter of an ounce or one square or two of a chocolate bar -- had lower blood pressure and a 39 percent lower risk of having a heart attack or stroke compared to those who ate the least amount of chocolate. "Small amounts of chocolate may help to prevent heart disease but only if it replaces other energy-dense food, such as snacks, in order to keep body weight stable," Buijsse said in a statement.

CT scans: How much radiation is too much? WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration began meetings on the risks of CT scans for colon cancer screening as scientists said the agency ignored their concerns. The meetings, which continue Wednesday, came after The New York Times reported government scientists got nowhere when they raised concerns to the FDA about possible dangers of routine use of CT scans for colon cancer screenings. The meetings represent a reassessment of risks associated with radiology at a time when average lifetime doses of diagnostic of radiation have soared. About 70 million computed tomography scans are performed in the United States annually, up from 3 million in the early 1980s, and up to 14,000 people may die every year of radiation-induced cancers as a result, researchers say. The Times cited FDA documents showing that after an agency official recommended approval of an application by General Electric to allow the use of CT scans for colon cancer screenings, Dr. Julian Nicholas, who was a gastroenterologist under contract with the FDA, said approving the application could "expose a number of Americans to a risk of radiation that is unwarranted and may lead to" abdominal cancer. The application is still under review. FDA officials then told him to change his view, Nicholas said. "I was first ignored, then pressured to change my scientific opinion, and when I refused to do that, I was intimidated and ultimately terminated," he said. Experts differ on use of CT scans, particularly for healthy patients. Alberto Gutierrez, deputy director of the FDA office that oversees radiological devices, said it's hard to say what's the best direction on CT scans for colon cancer. Arvind Gopalratnam, a spokesman for GE Healthcare, wrote in an e-mail that research had shown that "CT colonography can be a very valuable, noninvasive screening tool to help diagnose colorectal cancer at early stages and ultimately improve overall survival rates." A CT of a patient's abdomen is often used instead of a conventional colonoscopy, which is performed with a long, flexible tube with a camera inserted in a patient's colon.

Inflammatory bowel disease up in China HONG KONG (UPI) -- A study of 79 children in China found an increasing diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease in the recent decade compared with the 1980s and 1990s. Study leader Dr. Tam YH of the Chinese University of Hong Kong reviewed a group of children who had their first colonoscopy within a six-year period. The most common reasons for the procedure were blood in the stools and for the possibility of inflammatory bowel disease. The study, published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, found 23 children had colonic polyps and 13 had inflammatory bowel disease. There were no complications by any of the study subjects, the study said. It has recently been reported that there is increasing occurrence of childhood inflammatory bowel disease in Western countries. Recently studies show an increase in childhood inflammatory bowel disease in Western countries, the researchers said. Copyright 2010 by United Press International

Canada: Minority women lack doctor access TORONTO (UPI) -- Immigrant women -- especially South Asian, West Asian or Arab women -- say they have trouble accessing healthcare in Canada, researchers found. Researchers at St. Michael's Hospital and the Institute for Clinical and Evaluative Sciences found more than 50 percent of South Asian, West Asian or Arab adults say they were not very satisfied with their ability to get an appointment with a doctor for a regular checkup. Nearly 40 percent of East and Southeast Asian and 34 percent of Aboriginal adults reported having difficulties when accessing a specialist compared with 22 percent of white Ontario residents. The study also found that 15 percent of Canadian immigrants for less than five years do not have a primary care doctor, compared to 7.3 percent of Canadian-born men and women who say they don't have primary care doctor. "Ensuring all Ontarians have equal access to care is important if we want to improve the health and well-being of men and women across the province," principal investigator Arlene Bierman, a physician at St. Michael's Hospital, said in a statement.

Trivia For You Thursday April 1, 2010 How large were Egyptian temples? How did Abe name Apollo? What activity did the first toadies engage in? Which U.S. coin was the first with 'In God We Trust?' What is the lowest point in the U.S.? Get Your Garden Ready for Spring How large were Egyptian temples? The early Egyptians built some very large temples. The Great Temple at El-Karnak, built more than 3,000 years ago, is larger than the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. Comment on this Story | Printer Friendly | | Send Story to a Friend | Top How did Abe name Apollo? Abe Silverstein, who headed NASA's Space Flight Development Program, proposed the name Apollo for the space exploration programs in the 1960s. He chose that legendary Greek name because the virile Apollo was a god who rode through the skies in a magnificent golden chariot. The precedent of naming manned spacecraft for mythological gods had been set earlier with Project Mercury, also named by Silverstein. Comment on this Story | Printer Friendly | | Send Story to a Friend | Top What activity did the first toadies engage in? The word "toady" originally referred to a magician's assistant who literally ate toads a part of the show. Toads were once thought to be poisonous; when the "toady" recovered from eating one of them it was considered an indication of the magician's power. Comment on this Story | Printer Friendly | | Send Story to a Friend | Top Which U.S. coin was the first with 'In God We Trust?' The U.S. two-cent coin was minted between 1864 and 1873 and was the first coin to bear the motto "In God We Trust". The motto was omitted from the new gold coins issued in 1907, causing a storm of public criticism. As a result, legislation passed in May 1908 made "In God We Trust" mandatory on all coins on which it had previously appeared. Legislation approved July 11, 1955, made the appearance of "In God We Trust" mandatory on all coins and paper currency of the United States. By Act of July 30, 1956, "In God We Trust" became the national motto of the United States.

Death Valley in southern California is the lowest point in the United States at 282 feet below sea level. The highest point in the contiguous 48 states is also in California: Mount Whitney, which is 14,491 feet above sea level.
