One in 50 people in the United States alone will develop this during their lifetime. This is approximately 6 million people, and the majority of them are aged 40 to 60 years old. It is also reported that most of them are women. A rare case of a woman with aneurysm made surgeons use 3D printed blood vessels to plan the operation she was about to undergo, and fortunately, it was successful. Read more in this report by Josh L Davis on IFL Science: Surgeons Use 3D Printed Blood Vessels To Practice Brain SurgeryDoctors have performed complex surgery successfully on a woman’s tangled brain aneurysm after 3D printing an entire replica of her brain blood vessel anatomy. By physically visualizing the exact problem, surgeons were able to get a detailed idea of how to fix it. This also allowed the surgeons to practice time and again the techniques they would need to use in the real-life surgery. Read more… It’s not a secret that brain surgeries are very risky as it may result to swelling, blood clot, infection, and seizures, so it’s amazing how these surgeons use 3D printed blood vessels to practice the operation. The usual causes include high blood pressure, abnormal blood flow, atherosclerosis, trauma, and even heredity. Cigarette smoking and drug abuse are also another risk factor. In addition to that, watch out for symptoms such as headache, numbness, change in vision and dilated pupil. If left untreated, this can cause stroke or death, so consult a doctor immediately.

It digests fats, cleanses the blood, helps store vitamins, and more. So when it faces some problems, it’s a very serious thing. Common symptoms of its problems include discoloration of poop, darkened urine, stomach pain and swelling, nausea, loss of appetite, itchy skin and jaundice. But there’s a new discovery. Led by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, these liver cells grown in the lab are known as the “holy grail” of its research. Read more in this report on Medical XPress: Functional human liver cells grown in the labIn new research appearing in the prestigious journal Nature Biotechnology, an international research team led by The Hebrew University of Jerusalem describes a new technique for growing human hepatocytes in the laboratory. This groundbreaking development could help advance a variety of liver-related research and applications, from studying drug toxicity to creating bio-artificial liver support for patients awaiting transplantations. Read more… Hopefully, these liver cells grown in the lab will help resolve different diseases such as fatty disease, viral hepatitis, drug toxicity and cancer. One risk factor of its problems is alcohol, so you might want to reduce your consumption as much as possible. In fact, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are 18,146 alcoholic disease deaths in 2013 alone. Virus and obesity are also associated with failure.

Other symptoms include sleepiness, laziness, bloating, gas, mental fogginess, and even regret. The struggle is real, right? It doesn’t always depend on how much you eat, sometimes it’s about what you eat. If you eat sugary and processed foods, you’re really likely to feel more lethargic. What causes a food coma? Well, a new study has shown that it could be a work of the bacteria in your gut. Read more in this report by Mindy Weisberger of Live Science on Huffington Post: Slipping Into A Food Coma? Blame Your Gut MicrobesWhen you push away your plate, loosen your belt and announce, “I couldn’t manage another bite!” it may be your gut microbes talking, according to a new study. Researchers found chemical clues hinting that, when certain bacteria in the belly have had enough to eat, they tell the brain that it’s time to put down the fork. Read more… So what causes food coma is the bacteria in your gut. It’s very common during the holidays, but there are ways you can avoid it, though. For instance, you can have a small snack before going to parties where you know you might overindulge. Better yet, aim to eat small meals every three to four hours, instead of the usual three meals a day. Choosing small portions and eating slowly will also help you. And of course, even though it’s a physiological phenomena, you can always fight it. Get up and do the dishes or go for a walk after eating. Image Credit: Slipping Into A Food Coma?

After I’ve finished off my second day of Thanksgiving dinner and requisite turkey sandwiches, there still seems to be a never-ending plate of turkey. And by that point, I’m over turkey and gravy. Since I can’t bring myself to just toss the remaining turkey, the obvious solution is to reinvent my turkey leftovers into a totally different meal — like spiced enchiladas topped with gooey, melted cheese. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2015/11/27/recipe-turkey-enchiladas-recipes-from-the-kitchn/ Bay Leaf Wreath with Jute Bow from McFadden Farm• $34.50 Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to cut the tree and deck the halls and all that. Some of us are more inclined than others to drag greenery into our homes at Christmastime, and some of you I am sure cannot abide the mess. But there is one piece of fresh greenery that I promise is worth the expense: a bay wreath. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2015/11/27/hang-a-bay-wreath-for-christmas-and-enjoy-it-all-year-long-faiths-daily-find-11-27-15/ http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/nutritionclubca.wordpress.com/680/ http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 27 minutes Yield: 4 servings Ingredients
Directions Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a rimmed cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Pour Panko bread crumbs and parmesan into a gallon size resealable bag. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Shake bag then drizzle 1 Tbsp olive oil over bread crumb mixture. Seal bag and shake while pressing against mixture to evenly moisten crumbs. In a shallow dish whisk egg until well blended. Working with one chicken breast at a time, dredge chicken in egg then immediately transfer to bread crumb mixture and press both sides in crumbs to adhere well. Transfer to middle of baking dish then repeat with remaining chicken breasts. Bake chicken in oven 15 minutes. During last few minutes of chicken baking, place zucchini in a gallon size resealable bag, pour in olive oil and add garlic powder. Season wtih salt and pepper to taste. Seal bag and shake to evenly coat. Remove chicken from oven, rotate chicken to opposite side. Add zucchini around chicken in an even layer. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes longer or until chicken registers 165 degrees in center on an instant read thermometer (mine were 170 after the 10 minutes so unless your chicken breasts are super thick you shouldn’t need much more time). Remove from oven and spread marinara sauce down middle of chicken breasts, sprinkle with mozzarella. Move oven rack near broiler element and heat oven to broil. Broil until cheese has melted about 1 – 2 minutes (keep a close eye on it so cheese doesn’t burn). Sprinkle with basil and serve immediately.

Why is that? Well, you live because of food. It’s the one that supplies your body the energy and nutrients it needs to do your activities. And you need to burn what you eat, and if you’re not able to burn them, there comes the unwanted fat deposits. So what’s more important? They’re both beneficial to your whole body. But it’s possible to live without exercise, while it’s not possible to live without food. Therefore, food dictates more about how much you gain. What you do not eat can affect your weight, too. So it’s better to eat more whole foods, and ditch the processed ones.

You have to have a consistent workout routine, not just a one or two moves in a week. It’s very important to work your legs out because you use them in almost everything you do – walking, jumping, running, jogging and more. It’s a simple logic. If you work them out and make them stronger, your daily activities will come easy for you. Squats and lunges are the most common exercises. They’re very effective, and can also work out other parts such as butt, core and your lower body. If you want to try new moves, check out this compilation of leg exercises from Sarah Klein on Huffington Post: 6 Of The Best Leg Exercises That Aren’t Squats Or LungesSo you want more defined quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves in 2015, but you’re sick and tired of squats and lunges. We hear you. Squats and lunges are some of the most well-known — and most effective — lower-body moves, but it’s never a bad idea to shake up your workout routine. And if shaking it up will help you stick with it, than we’re all for trying something new. Read more… But note that squats are still the best, so make time to incorporate them into your routines. They build muscle in your entire body, burn more fat, promote balance and mobility, and so much more! Moving on, here’s a workout demo by Men’s Health fitness director B.J. Gaaddour, as written by Jill Fanslau, on Men’s Health: Build Strong, Athletic Legs with Nothing More Than Your Body and a ChairThink you can only build significant size and strength in your legs with heavy weight training? Read more… http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1 Lastly, natural pro bodybuilder and strength trainer Moji Oluwa shares a few more tips on Muscle and Fitness: 7 LEG-BUSTING TIPS FROM AN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTERIn bodybuilding, hard, wide-swept legs can draw the eye of the judges as well as the admiration of the crowd – but if your legs are not as strong as they appear, no one is the wiser. Hypertrophy protocols typically champion volume over pure strength, and rep totals over rep intensity. Olympic lifters, on the other hand, typically have legs that are just as strong and powerful as they look – training protocols center on power, speed and technique. Read more… So to build strong athletic legs, just keep working them out while increasing the load as your body gets used to them. You need to start with short ones, then gradually increase the reps and intensity so that your body will still experience challenges every now and then. Don’t push yourself too hard, though, it takes time. Again, the squat is the best move for your legs. It’s even called as the king of all exercises. Always add it in your workouts, or do it when you don’t have the luxury of time to work out in the gym. It doesn’t require anything!
