Today's Key Nutrients

Sunday, March 15, 2009 by cn.co.dc

Vitamin A

Pumpkin, butternut squash, and other deep-hued orange produce provide beta-carotene, which is converted in the body to vitamin A. The squash in this recipe is also packed with vitamin C, providing about half your daily needs per serving.


Zinc

“Many studies have been done in nutrition and immune function involving numerous nutrients and come out with different, often contradicting results,” says Dayong Wu, PhD, a scientist in the Nutritional Immunology Laboratory, the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging, and Assistant Professor of the Friedman School of Nutrition and Science Policy at Tufts University. Because a nutritional intervention may have different effects on people of different ages or nutrition status as noted in scientific studies, Wu says, it’s difficult to make broad recommendations based on study findings.

However, zinc has been indentified with healthy immune systems, and it's a good idea to get enough of the mineral in your diet no matter what. One serving of this unique appetizer provides about 13 milligrams of zinc―that's all you need in a day.

Pumpkin Seeds To Stay Health

Sunday, March 8, 2009 by cn.co.dc

This week thousands of kids and parents alike will be involved in an activity that I used to love when I was a kid - pumpkin carving! Although I haven't engaged in the activity since I was young, my sister has kept the tradition alive and is now actually quite good at it. One year, to commemorate our lost pet of years gone by, she carved the face of a West Highland White terrier that was so good I nearly shed a tear.

But the question always comes up - do you save the seeds to eat or throw them away? Well question no more - save and eat them! Pumpkin seeds are great for you and they make a handy and delicious snack. Pumpkin seeds contain loads of iron, plenty of protein and fibre, B vitamins, vitamin A, E and C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, selenium, zinc, copper and essential fats. Pumpkin seeds have been a popular treatment for enlarged prostate gland for over 100 years and the plant phytosterols they contain have been shown to be helpful in lowering cholesterol. According to David Grotto, author of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life, eating raw pumpkin seeds at the onset of nausea will alleviate motion sickness.

Edwardian Tub Chair

Tuesday, March 3, 2009 by cn.co.dc

I came across a tub chair which was talked about by almost all the bloggers genuinely interested in home improvement and other bloggers interested in money making through this very famous niche. Sometimes a piece of furniture serves more than its function and many a times a piece of furniture is truly a work of art. Such is the case with this Edwardian Tub Chair by young British designer Helen Amy Murray. In this piece, rich, creamy leather is manipulated to form a textile portrait of blossoms. A gorgeous statement—and a comfy one, too. This tub chair rules all leather furniture. Elegant - rich - stable and gorgeous. WoW!
