We tried the Starbucks winter menu (the favorite is obvious)
Exactly a year ago, I was writing a very similar article about the Pistachio Cream Cold Brew at Starbucks (SBUX) - Get Free Report. The then-new pistachio cream foam was the chain's first new flavor of 2023 and was popular enough for the chain to bring it back again this year in both cold brew and…#starbucks #sbux #starbuckswintermenu #icedshaken #hazelnutlatte #danielkline #insidechipotle #formula1 #tacobell #chapter11 (Source: Reuters: Health)

This Overlooked Nutrient May Be The Key To Brain Power
Aging is inevitable. But have you noticed that some very elderly people still don’t miss a thing?
Some of my patients fall into this category. I’ve worked with many centenarians who remain quick-witted, with keen memories and focus.
You can be one of these people, too — an all-star senior…
Inside all of you, your cells are constantly busy dividing up to two trillion times per day. The new cells replace old, damaged, or dead cells and help you live, grow and thrive.
Human cell lines have built-in mortality. As your cells divide, there’s a limit at which their limit is reached.
There’s an internal mechanism o...

We Can Prevent Overdose Deaths If We Change How We Think About Them
I’ve been living in recovery from opioid use disorder for eight and a half years, and this might be a weird thing to say about addiction, but I feel lucky—like I dodged a bullet. I was addicted to opioids in Florida throughout the early 2000s, during the heyday of pill mills that flooded the streets with powerful pharmaceuticals like OxyContin. I say I’m lucky because this was just before the drug supply turned into a toxic sludge of potent fentanyl analogues, mysterious tranquilizers, and deadly counterfeit pills. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I were using today. The chances of my survival ...

What Are Some High or Low FODMAPs Foods?
Discussion
FODMAPs is an acronym standing for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. It is a diet strategy which has shown improvement for some adult patients with functional abdominal pain including some with irritable bowel syndrome. The evidence in pediatrics is murky and more well-designed studies are needed; however such studies are difficult to complete. In general, there are 3 phases to this dietary strategy:
Avoidance of all high FODMAP foods for 2-6 weeks. In some adult studies there has been improvement in 1 week. Especially in the pediatric age group, some people will only res...

Walnuts Slash Cancer Risk
A new study out of Marshall University found that eating two ounces of walnuts a day for two weeks slowed breast cancer growth or reduced the risk of developing the disease.1
In the study, researchers gave a group of women who had a breast biopsy two ounces of walnuts every day until they had surgery two weeks later.
They found significant changes in the tumor’s gene expression in the women who ate the nuts compared to those who didn’t.
This backs up earlier research which found that eating two ounces of walnuts a day could help cut breast cancer risk in half.2
Extracts of walnuts stopped the spread of breast cancer ce...

Anorexia in Limbo
When I was sixteen years old, I met every requirement in the DSM-IV criteria for Anorexia Nervosa. My Body Mass Index (BMI) hovered just below 17.5, I was obsessed with counting calories and becoming skinnier, I was terrified of gaining even a single pound of weight, and I lost my period for longer than three consecutive cycles. My iron and ferritin levels fell below normal and I was tired all of the time. Before long, I was avoiding eating with my friends and family, and I had given up my favorite sports because I was too weak to run the warm-ups. I was never diagnosed with an eating disorder, however; I refused help beca...

Your Body ’s First Responders
B vitamins aren’t glamourous…
With the exception of vitamin B12, you may not be familiar with what the other B vitamins do.
That can be a problem.
B vitamins are critical nutrients for your immune system.
And you may think you’re getting enough when you’re not. If you read ingredient labels, you often see B vitamins listed. The packaging may even say, “fortified with B vitamins.”
But these are not really vitamins at all. They are “chemical copies” that have no real nutritional value.
Today, I’ll show you how B vitamins help you beat infections and how to get the best s...

What are the nutrition facts of pistachios?
Pistachios are packed with vitamins, minerals and nutrients, including beta carotene, phosphorus, vitamin B6, thiamine, potassium, magnesium and fiber.
