4 essential nutrients — are you getting enough?
The newest dietary guidelines for Americans say that many Americans don’t get enough of four vital nutrients. Over time, a shortfall of these nutrients may affect different aspects of your health, from teeth and bones to your heart, gut, muscles, blood pressure, weight, and more.
What is a nutritional shortfall?
Nutritional advice can be confusing. Eat more of this, less of that. Make sure you get enough — but not too much. It’s no wonder many people have so-called nutritional shortfalls, where their diet lacks sufficient essential nutrients.
So, which nutrients do you really need and how much? And what key nutri...

Sunday Sermonette: Sing that Thing
Deuteronomy 32 is the song we were promised in the previous chapter. It isn ' t clear if he actually sings it or if this is more a poetry slam performance. Anyway it once again summarizes the basic theological points: Yahweh chose Israel, he is specifically the God of Israel, not the God of humanity; he will reward the Israelites if they worship him properly and obey his laws, including by helping them massacre other people; when (not if, it ' s a prediction) they cease to obey him, he will torture them horribly and see to it they are murdered en masse in turn. That ' s the essential message of the Torah. I ' ve inserted a...

Natural remedies for hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are painful, unpleasant, and, um, well, difficult to talk about. But they actually are quite common: about half of people over age 50 have had them. However, they’re easy to treat and manage.
“Hemorrhoids can be troublesome and embarrassing, but they often shrink on their own with simple self-help care and over-the-counter remedies,” says Dr. Howard LeWine, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
What are hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins near the anus. Common symptoms are rectal pain, itching, bleeding, and occasional protruding veins outside the anus.
There are two types of h...

Wheat Belly Spicy Hummus
Janet made the Spicy Hummus from the recipe on page 33 of the Wheat Belly 30- Minute Cookbook (reproduced below) and provided the wonderful photo above.
Janet says “Spicy hummus and cut up red pepper, leftover from Super Bowl, a quick and easy snack while working from home.”
Spicy Hummus
Hummus is such a versatile dip and sandwich spread that I thought it would be best to provide a homemade, do-it-yourself version. It’s also less costly making it yourself, rather than purchasing the deli version, which can get pretty pricey.
If you don’t like the taste of tahini, you can substitute toa...
