		<description><![CDATA[If you want to put some sizzle back into your sex life, food can help you set the mood. There’s nothing better than a romantic, home-cooked dinner, featuring some R-rated foods to help turn up the heat. “There’s a growing body of evidence that some of the vitamins and components in foods can enhance sexual function and sexual experience,” says Jennifer R. Berman, MD, the director of the Berman Women’s Wellness Center, in Beverly Hills, Calif. Here are some of the food ingredients (and my own favorite recipes) that have ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Heart healthy? Check. And that’s just the beginning of oatmeal’s superpowers.
Pore refiner
This mask, from New York City dermatologist Amy Wechsler, MD, makes use of oats’ saponins, cleansers that remove dirt from pores: Mix 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup hot water, and 1/4 cup honey in a food processor. Let cool, and apply. Wait 10 minutes, and rinse.
Diet helper
Replace all-purpose flour with homemade oat flour (grind oats in a processor) for baking cookies, pancakes, and quick breads. You get twice the fiber so you feel fuller, but fewer calories, says Frances ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the British cable series You Are What You Eat, host Gillian McKeith shows ordinary people how extraordinary their eating habits really are. She records every bit of food or drink that passes a person&#8217;s lips for one week, and then spreads it all out before them on a great banquet-sized table.
Every morsel, every crumb is laid out for them to see: piles of take-out boxes brimming with oversized portions of salty, fried food; cup after cup after cup of sugary tea; cookies; pieces of cake; whole loaves of bread. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m thinking that it can’t hurt to have a little extra help when dieting or exercising, for both burning calories and sustaining energy, which is why I decided to taste test a new functional beverage called Celsius. Celsius is touted as the “Ultimate Fitness Partner,” one that uses a core blend of ingredients to form MetaPlus which enhances metabolism and results in a sustained calorie burn.
While there are a lot of new “diet” and “fitness” beverages out there, Celsius has gotten the beverage industry to take notice. Last year they ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the years there&#8217;s been a lot of debate between low-fat and low-carb diets- which one is the healthiest for you? Which one works the best? Now a study out of Temple University&#8217;s Center for Obesity Research and Education, finds that both diets help people lose weight, but the low-carb diet seemed to raise the HDL or good cholesterol in the body.
In the largest study of its kind, researchers followed 300 people for two years. Some were given a low-carb diet to follow, others a low-fat. In addition all participants ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two-year-old Ethan Wily had a cold recently, so at first it wasn&#8217;t surprising that he started coughing last week after eating some pistachio gelato.
But he started coughing up mucus, and then gasping for air. His parents gave him an antihistamine, but it didn&#8217;t stop the reaction. By the time the boy&#8217;s parents brought him to their local hospital, he could barely breathe.
&#8220;His face was really swollen. He looked like an alien,&#8221; said Ethan&#8217;s father, Preston Wily of Lehi, Utah. &#8220;We didn&#8217;t have any idea an allergy could be so bad.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[In one of the favorite movies from my youth called Me and the Colonel, Danny Kaye played a Jewish refugee called Jakubowski who kept screwing up the plans and getting under the skin of a Nazi Colonel, played by Hollywood&#8217;s all-purpose German, Curt Jergens. I can&#8217;t remember much from that movie any longer (hey! I&#8217;m in middle-age so I can&#8217;t even remember what I had for breakfast today, or if I even had breakfast) but I can remember the heart-warming ending in which the Colonel, having recognized that Jakubowski had ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The millions of people who take calcium supplements to strengthen aging bones and ward off osteoporosis may be putting themselves at increased risk of a heart attack, a new study has found.
Older people who take at least 500 milligrams of calcium daily—less than the amount in a typical one-a-day calcium pill—are 30% more likely to have a heart attack than those who take no calcium at all, the study estimates.
But people taking calcium supplements should not stop without consulting their doctor, says John Baron, MD, a professor of medicine at ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said Thursday that a cup of coffee a day during pregnancy probably would not increase a woman&#8217;s risk of miscarriage or premature birth.
Studies have had conflicting findings, until recently, about the effect of moderate caffeine consumption on pregnancy complications.
But, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s time to comfortably say that it&#8217;s okay to have a cup of coffee during pregnancy,&#8221; Dr. William Barth, the chair of a College committee that reviewed the evidence, told Reuters Health.
The College&#8217;s Committee of Obstetric Practice said that 200 milligrams of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People who take vitamin E supplements regularly for years—whether they are smokers or nonsmokers—may lower their risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the lung condition that is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.
COPD includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis and is often, but not always, caused by smoking.
While the risk reduction is relatively small, 10%, COPD is a common and life-threatening condition in which a decline in lung function can be slowed down but not reversed. COPD symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, and fatigue.
“The effect ...]]></description>
