Birth, feeding choices affect a baby’s gut bacteria: Study A new Canadian study has found that babies born by cesarean section or formula fed have a distinctly different makeup of bacteria inside their guts — something that could have consequences for the baby’s health or immune system development. Researchers from Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario have published the first North American study looking at healthy babies and how decisions around their delivery and diet impact the gut “microbiome” — the invisible constellation of bacteria, viruses and fungi that performs a vital role in keeping people healthy. Researchers used DNA sequencing to analyze the gut bacteria of 24 infants at four months of age. The study, published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, found that the richness and diversity of gut bacteria were lowest among babies born by C-section. The health implications of these findings remain unclear and will be studied in the years to come. “It’s filling in an important piece of the picture.” Dr.
Common Appliances, Uncommon Uses - Feature All those kitchen appliances, taking up shelf space until the next time you’re craving waffles or dried fruit or sorbet. Isn’t there a way to employ them more often? We were inspired by a Chowhound post that asked for alternate uses for a waffle iron. As we researched, we found people who brew beer in coffee makers or cook fish in the dishwasher, but not every experiment was worth the time or effort. We came up with the following parameters: (1) the food should taste as good or better than when made in the conventional manner, (2) the cooking time should be equal to or shorter than normal, and (3) the method should use the appliance in a way that’s totally different from what it’s known for. Imagine our delight at seeing a soufflé rise up in the slow cooker, a frozen mixed drink take shape in the ice cream maker.

10 TED Talks That Will Change the Way You Communicate August 1st, 2012 By: Alvina Lopez Even the most eloquent of public and private speakers could always stand to tweak their communication skills just a little bit. After all, the ability to convey feelings and facts stands as essential to keeping the human species rolling along. Both the Internet and bookshelves sport advice a-go-go on how to get points across as clearly as possible, and the venerable open source lecture series TED does not disappoint in this regard. Its best offerings regarding human connectivity encourage essentials not always discussed in manuals and textbooks, so give them some consideration and use them to launch more exploration into how to grow into an effective, evocative communicator. Elizabeth Lesser: Take "the Other" to lunch: If communications with people on opposite sides of political, cultural, religious and other common divides so often proves extremely problematic, try Elizabeth Lesser’s simple-but-effective approach.

7 Things You Didn't Know About Fat Adrienne Turner Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Page 1 of 3 Fat is a word that most of us do not want to hear on a regular basis, especially when it relates to our own bodies. We associate fat with growing beer guts, tighter pants, and less-than-ideal sex and social lives. However, fat plays a critical role in many of the processes our bodies go through each and every day, and it has both positive and negative sides. This three-letter-word has more secrets than you know... 1. When you consume more calories than you burn off, fat cells in the body swell to as much as six times their minimum size, and they begin to multiply — from 40 billion in an average adult up to 100 billion. Fat cells are critical for survival and help assist the body's "store and management" energy system. 2. Carrying a few extra pounds may also wreak havoc on your hormonal balance, leading to a variety of illnesses and health risks. Do fat cells disappear or just shrink when you lose weight?

Useful Life Hacks Japanese IQ Test Gluten Confirmed To Cause Weight Gain By PF Louis, Natural News The case against gluten seems to have been closed with recent research from a Brazilian research team that published a report in the January 2013 Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry. It seems to have put an exclamation point on the wheat belly controversy. The Study Lacking scientific data confirming the mechanics of how gluten may or may not affect obesity, the study was set up to examine the differences in specific genetic and biochemical markers between rats fed gluten and rats that were kept gluten free. The "wheat belly" syndrome and how it leads to other health issues was the purpose of their research. Both groups of rats were fed high fat diets. An Analysis Of The Study This study report, according to Sayer Ji proves that the major factor of obesity is gluten, not calories.

7 Characteristics of Highly Creative People Sure, it's possible for everyone to nurture his or her creative side, but honest observation shows that fresh ideas come more easily to some people than to others.
