The almond, which we think of as a nut, is actually the seed of the fruit from the almond tree. The almond is related to the peach, but the fruit toughens into a leathery coat, called the hull, which contains the shell and the edible kernel. Unlike the peach pit, the almond kernel is not only edible, but also quite nutritious.

Almonds are high in health-promoting monounsaturated fats. These fats are beneficial for healthy hair, skin, and nails. But don't be too concerned about almond consumption leading to a high-fat diet; it is believed that not all of the fat in almonds is absorbed. A study, from Kings College in London, showed that the cell walls of almonds may influence the body s absorption of the fat in almonds. When eating almonds, chewing appears to break down only some of the cell walls, leaving some of the almond intact, so that not all of the fat was released for digestion.

Almonds are also low in calorie density, which means you get a larger portion size with a fewer number of calories (eat more, gain less). But don't go overboard; anything eaten in excess can lead to health problems. The most widely recommended intake of almonds is one ounce per day.

Almonds are a good source of manganese, magnesium, copper, tryptophan, phosphorus, and vitamins E & B2. They are also loaded with other vitamins, minerals, and fibre. Furthermore, like all nuts, almonds provide one of the best plant sources of protein. Almonds have been used to treat iron deficiency, menopause, pain, and for cancer prevention. The beneficial fats and fibre in almonds is believed to help prevent heart disease. One study showed almonds to be almost twice as effective at lowering cholesterol levels than oatmeal.

With all the health benefits, as well as great taste, of almonds, it's no wonder that producers turn out over two million tonnes yearly.

Direct mail campaigns are fairly commonplace nowadays. There's hardly a day that goes by without at least one piece of mail showing up in your mailbox that includes a folder, brochure, or business card from a business. Such campaigns are effective, but imagine how much more effective they would be if the folder, brochure or business card didn't get lost in a pile of junk mail on the kitchen counter, never to be seen again. That's where much of it ends up. There is an alternative direct mail product that is much more permanent.

And Just What Is That Product?

Magnetic direct mail products, that's what. They are delivered in the mail just like the old types, but instead of a simple postcard or insert, these have a refrigerator style magnet attached to them. The recipient easily peels off the magnet, holds it in his had while he looks around the kitchen for a spot, sees the refrigerator and with the accuracy of a ninja flinging a throwing star, he gives it a toss from across the room. Boom! Your advertisement is now going to be seen by every member of the household on a daily basis.

Why That Is Important

It has been found that when people see a business name over and over they start to develop a bond with that business. They become more comfortable with it. It may not be logical, but it's human nature. Take advantage of that human trait and get your Health Care Facility's name in front of hundreds or thousands of people by employing a magnetic direct mailer. Not only will they see it when the receive it, but on a regular basis depending on where they stick it. The kitchen, at work, in the shop...anywhere.

Make Your Direct Mail Dollar Go Much Further

That beats the dickens out of the old paper brochure that is often stuck in the trashcan only seconds after it is opened. Getting your Health Care Facility's information in front of people is the whole idea behind direct mailing, so why not utilize the product that does that the best? Besides your facility's information, the magnet can have emergency phone numbers or health tips. Why not a calendar, or some first aid instructions? Together, those things make your direct mailer more than a mere marketing tactic. It becomes a useful source of information that will draw attention to your hospital, office, or services.

In a regular cup of coffee there are about 170 mg of caffeine and in decaffeinated coffee there are about 30/40 mg of caffeine.

On the stock market, Coffee is a 90 billion dollar industry but what is significant is that just in North America 85%+ drink 3 to 5 cups of coffee per day. A huge number of people are at risk for many of the issues surrounding coffee consumption.

Top Ten Reasons why you should consider switching to a "Healthy Coffee"

Top 10 Caffeine-Related Health Problems

Cardiovascular Problems

Caffeine increases your heart rate, elevates your blood pressure, and can contribute to the development of heart disease. Both decaf and regular coffee increase your cholesterol and homocysteine, the biochemical that science has linked to increased risk for heart attack. Caffeine is also linked to coronary vasospasms, the cause for 20% of all fatal heart attacks which kill otherwise perfectly healthy people.
Stress

Caffeine stimulates the excretion of stress hormones which can produce increased levels of anxiety, irritability, muscular tension and pain, indigestion, insomnia, and decreased immunity. Increased levels of stress from caffeine can keep you from being able to make healthy responses to the normal daily stress everyone is subjected to in their lives.

Emotional Disturbances

Anxiety and irritability are hallmark mood disturbances associated with caffeine consumption, but equally important is depression and attention disorders. Depression may occur as part of the let down after the stimulant effects of caffeine wears off. It may also appear during the recovery period after quitting caffeine while the brain's chemistry is readjusted. Caffeine rather than increasing mental activity actually decreases blood flow to the brain by as much as 30% and negatively effects memory and mental performance.

Blood Sugar Swings

Diabetics and hypoglycemics should avoid caffeine because it stimulates a temporary surge in blood sugar which is then followed by an overproduction of insulin that causes a blood sugar crash within hours. If you're trying to loose weight, this rollercoaster will actually cause weight gain since insulin's message to the body is to store excess sugar as fat.

Gastrointestinal Problems

Many people experience a burning sensation in their stomach after drinking coffee because coffee increases the secretion of hydrochloric acid leading to an increased risk for ulcers. Coffee, including decaf, reduces the pressure on the valve between the esophagus and the stomach so that the highly acidic contents of the stomach pass up to the esophagus leading to heartburn and gastro-esophageal reflux disease. With America 's high consumption of coffee, its no wonder the best selling over-the-counter drugs are the so-called antacids.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Caffeine inhibits the absorption of some nutrients and causes the urinary excretion of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and trace minerals, all essential elements necessary for good health.
Male Health Problems

Male Health Issues

Coffee is an irritant to the urinary tract and bladder. It is also a diuretic that aggravates conditions associated with frequent urination. Eliminating coffee and caffeine often relieves symptoms associated with frequent urination due to enlarged prostate glands.

Dr. Milton Krisiloff, M.D. has found that in the majority of cases, men can significantly reduce their risk for urinary and prostate problems by making dietary changes which include eliminating coffee and caffeine.

Female Health Problems

Fibrocystic breast disease, PMS, osteoporosis, infertility problems, miscarriage, low birth weight infants, and menopausal problems such as hot flashes are all exacerbated by caffeine consumption. Women on birth control pills are particularly at risk since they have a decreased ability to detoxify caffeine.

Adrenal Exhaustion

Caffeine consumption leads to eventual adrenal exhaustion which can leave you vulnerable to a variety of health disorders related to inflammation, autoimmunity, and fatigue.
Aging

Many people find in their forties that they can no longer tolerate the same level of caffeine consumption as they could in their twenties and thirties. The production of DHEA, melatonin, and other vital hormones start to decline and caffeine speeds up that downhill drop. Caffeine dehydrates the body and contributes to the aging of the skin and kidneys. It has been shown to inhibit DNA repair and slow the ability of the liver to detoxify foreign toxins.

Exhausted Adrenal Glands

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It causes the adrenal glands to secrete adrenaline, the hormone your body depends on in emergencies to elevate your heart rate, increase your respiration and blood pressure for a rapid flight-or-fight response. When you overuse stimulants, the adrenals become exhausted. If your caffeine sensitivity has diminished or you're one of those who claims you can drink 3 shots of espresso and go right to sleep, guess what? Your adrenals have given up responding. This means you have less resistance to stress, which leaves you vulnerable to health hazards such as environmental pollutants and disease pathogens

Severe Blood Sugar Swings

Caffeine forces the liver to release glycogen into the blood stream. The pancreas responds to the sudden rise in blood sugar by releasing insulin, the hormone which causes excess carbohydrates to be stored as fat. Within the span of an hour or two, the result is a sharp blood sugar drop resulting in a state of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). That's when you think it's time for another cup of coffee and the whole cycle starts up again.

Acid Imbalance

Over 208 acids in coffee can contribute to indigestion and a wide variety of health problems resulting from over-acidity associated with arthritic, rheumatic and skin irritations. Many people experience a burning sensation in their stomach after drinking coffee because coffee increases the secretion of acid in the stomach. Optimal health calls for an alkaline pH balance in the body.

Essential Mineral Depletion

Coffee inhibits the absorption of some nutrients and causes the urinary excretion of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and trace minerals, all essential elements necessary for good health. Women need to be concerned about osteoporosis as menopause sets in. Studies show that women who drink coffee have an increased incidence of osteoporosis compared to non-coffee drinkers. Men are not immune to osteoporosis either.

These are a number of health conditions for which doctors advise their patients to eliminate coffee and all caffeine from their diet.

Acid indigestion
Anxiety, irritability and nervousness
Candida or yeast problems
Colitis, diverticulitis, diarrhea and other irritable bowel symptoms
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other auto-immune disorders
Diabetes or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
Dizziness, Meniere's syndrome or tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Gout (Elevated Uric Acid levels)
Heart disease or heart palpitations
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Insomnia and interrupted or poor quality sleep
Liver disease and gallbladder problems such as gallstones
Kidney or bladder problems including kidney stones
Migraines or other vascular headaches
Osteoporosis
Skin irritations, rashes and dryness
Ulcers, heartburn, and stomach problems such as hiatal hernias
Urinary tract irritation

The purpose of this short, easy to understand report is to make you aware of the benefits of paying cash to your health care providers.

Health care providers are being educated to the benefits of catering to patients who hold HSAs. Health care providers are being bombarded with high service charges and huge reductions in payment because the giant health insurance companies and HMOs first take their portion and then typically don't pay the doctor or health care provider for 60 to 120 days or more for his/her services. The average health care provider typically has 2-3 people to administer and maintain this huge cumbersome insurance paperwork system. When you offer to pay cash immediately for health care services, you deserve and will receive a significant discount, many times 50% or more off of what you would normally pay. This is a very important thing to know. The average insured family spends less than $2000 annually for health care. If you get a 50% discount off that for paying cash, your out-of-pocket expense is only $1000 per year.

You will receive a statement with all of the proper coding that you will have for your HSA administrator if you wish a refund later. Your doctor saves dollars because he/she does not need to process your visit through their insurance department and your visit does not have to go through his/her billing department.

You must know and understand how your new HSA works so you can receive every benefit provided. Notify your health care provider before your visit of your intention to pay cash at the time of service and inform him/her that you don't have direct health insurance. Then ask for their cash discount policy. Simply ask what his/her cash service fees are in comparison to his regular fees. This applies to your dentist, doctor, chiropractor, you name it. It is to your benefit to know exactly at the beginning what your discount and cost for that service will be. The main benefit of having your HSA is that you are now in control of your health care. You are no longer tied to any one specific health care provider and you have the complete choice of who you use. Smart consumers shop for the best deals on everything else, why not health care?

Home insurance is a must if you own your home, but what do you need to know prior to purchasing insurance? Some of the most important factors are as follows: replacement value of your home, your "risk" rating, whether or not you are located in a flood plain and types of discounts you may be eligible for.

Your home should be insured for the amount of replacement value, but how do you know what that amount is? A builder should be able to assist you. For a small fee, they can go through the house and provide an estimate. Make sure the builder takes into consideration any special moldings, plaster wall treatments, stone work for fireplaces, etc when he is making the final estimate. Otherwise, the costs will be figured using a modern, low cost alternative.

Your insurance premium is based on "risk factors" that include such things as your occupation, cost to build in the area, where your house is located, what you own, and how you live. Do you have a family dog? What breed is it? Does your house have a pool? Do you have a trampoline or hot tub? Is your house located in a storm zone or a high crime area? Certain materials can reduce your premium such as stone or brick in high storm areas, but the cost of these materials directly affect your premium since your insurance will be used to rebuild your house in the event of a claim. These factors are all considered when determining your premium.

Your basic home insurance policy doesn't necessarily cover all claim situations. For instance, if you live in a flood plain, you will need an additional policy to cover floods because most home insurance policies do not cover flooding. Another example would be additional policies required for earthquakes in California or hurricanes in Florida (although most policies in Florida contain a separate rider for hurricanes at a higher deductible).

Many home insurance policies offer discounts toward the premiums for various home upgrades. For example, in areas that are prone to windstorms, discounts are offered for storm shutters, reinforcing your roof, or other improvements to your home to help withstand storm damage. Discounts are also offered for burglar alarms, smoke detectors, and installing dead-bolts. Larger discounts are offered for monitored sprinkler systems, fire alarms, and burglar systems. Some states even offer discounts for citizens over the age of 55 and for policy holders that have remained loyal for at least 6 years. Be careful though because the amount of the discount may not be enough to offset a better price from a different company.

Make sure when the time comes to purchase a new house that you consider the cost of the home insurance. Shop around and compare prices. Also, check out the company that you are going to use. Determine the time that the company takes to pay claims and the overall stability of the company. No bargain price is a bargain if the company isn't stable enough to pay your claims. Do your homework and you can get very affordable home insurance.

In today's times we live in a very toxic environment. The pollution in the air, the chemicals in our food, the water we drink and even the clothes we wear. At any given moment you may be exposed to toxins and heavy metals. These toxins accumulate in the body and can be stored in your fat cells, which tend to want to hang on to them.

A good way to release toxic build up in your body is to sweat such as in a sauna or hot bath. But for most busy people, they do not have the time to spend hours in the sauna for the best results. Plus that may be a bit too uncomfortable and when used for detoxification should be supervised by a licensed practitioner.

There is an easy alternative more and more people are finding great success with to rid your body of these unwanted toxins. That is the use of ionic detox footbaths. This is not your ordinary footbath.

Ionic Detox footbaths work by sending a small current that goes in a circuit through the body and generates positively charged ions. The high concentration of the ion field attaches to the negatively charged toxins neutralizing them and the body is then able to discard them through the approximate 2000 pores that are on the bottom of your feet. You can then experience the correct acid-alkaline ph balance as nature intended. It's painless and takes about 30 minutes. Even children ages 4 and up can safely use it. (supervised of course)

People who should not use this footbath are people with pace makers or who have organ transplants or expectant or nursing mothers.

Most Americans are in somewhat of an acid state. Our bodies are not in the natural ph balance that it should be. The result is that you are now left open to various diseases. A body that is in its natural alkaline-acid ph balance will be able to fight off the daily onslaught the body receives. This is a very important activity, especially if you are recovering from illness or post surgery!

The body has its own electrical field and if is too positively charged you are in an acid state. You can find out your own ph balance by going to your local health food store or drug store and purchase test strips. They are easy to use and show you in seconds if you are acid or alkaline.

Detox footbaths can assist in the following areas:

1) Enhancing the immune system

2) Assist in recovery time from injuries and surgery

3) Can relieve pain and joint stiffness due to arthritis

4) Improves sleep pattern

5) Remove heavy metals

6) Removes blood clot material

7) Improve liver and kidney function

During the use of an ionic foot bath the color of the water changes. The various colors can tell you what area the body may be detoxing.

Black or brown water is the liver.

Orange; the joints.

Dark green; the gallbladder

Yellowy green; kidneys, urinary tract,

White foam; Lymph nodes draining

Red flecks; blood clot material

Black flecks; heavy metals

The color of the water may be different for each individual due to water you use such as city water, well water, mineral water and the state of your health. When you put the metal array into water by itself you may see color changes in the water such as a brownish color. But it is the oily residue floating on the top that determines if you are getting rid of unwanted toxins in the body. The more you use the machine the less you will have yucky build up in the water.

An important part of using this system is to make sure you are properly hydrated. Drink plenty of good water (not distilled) before and during the session is very important as well as the use of colloidal minerals and electrolytes. This ensures better conductivity.

After only one use you may experience renewed energy and vitality. You owe it to yourself and family to regain better health and try using a detox footbath!
