Consider this: “Researchers say that about a quarter of the food
produced in America is thrown away. That's enough to feed about 49
million people.” – Sun-Sentinel
Consider this: “850 million people around the world are not getting
enough to eat, and they're mad about it. There have been violent food
uprisings recently in Egypt, Haiti, Senegal, Cameroon, Ivory Coast,
Mauritania, Ethiopia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, the Philippines, Thailand,
Indonesia - even Italy.” – The Baltimore Sun
What it means is that America produces enough food that we have a
surplus… not to mention the food we import. People are worried about
the world food crisis and rightly so. But in a country where food
fights are glorified in the movies, and people buy in huge bulks, often
times tossing out much of that food, it becomes apparent that maybe we
were buying into the idea of excess. Essentially, around the globe we
are seeing less food fights and more fights over food.

Food prices
are rising, and eating out for lunch each day is putting more pressure on your
pocket. You can stem the tide of your hemorrhaging purse by brown bagging it.
Now there
are so many benefits to taking your lunch to work and they far outweigh the
preparation time. It’s not just about counting calories or carbs; it’s about
counting your pennies! Packing lunch can save you about $5 a day – which could
easily translate to $1,000 a year! Imagine that! It’s like getting your tax
returns without the check.
 If you have
a refrigerator and a microwave at work, then great! But if you don’t, you can
still pack your lunch and have a delicious meal. It does take a little planning
and getting the right items to prepare your lunch daily.
You will
need a lunch bag (a durable one that’s large enough to fit lunch and snacks);
some ‘Tupperware’ type plastic containers (different sizes) If you don’t have a
fridge at work, pack your lunch with cold compresses… or freeze bottled water
and take it in your lunch container. Neat trick, huh?!

Funds are
low; we’re in a (gulp) recession. I know the establishment is not using the ‘r’
word, but call it what you may… we’re going broke! But, you never have to
sacrifice beauty no matter what’s happening – you can stay beautiful by just
getting stuff from your kitchen. They’re in there anyway.
Items like
cornmeal, brown sugar, olive oil, milk, oatmeal, yogurt and baking soda are
usually on your shopping list. So they can be part of your beauty regimen.
Remember, if you’re allergic to any of them, don’t use them.

No kidding about kidney problems |

Most people
know that the kidneys are important body organs, vital to maintaining an
individual’s health by removing waste products and excess fluids from the body.
However, many may not understand the full importance of having functioning
kidneys and the diminished quality of life those suffering from kidney disease
experience.
The
critical regulation of the body’s potassium, acid and salt content is performed
by the kidneys and the kidneys remove waste products and excess fluid through
the urine. This process involves complex steps of excretion and re-absorption
to maintain a stable balance of the body’s chemicals. The kidneys also produce
hormones that affect the functioning of other body organs including one that
stimulates red blood cell production. Other hormones produced in the kidneys
assist in the regulation of blood pressure and control calcium metabolism.
