It’s Saturday morning and I think it’s a good time to experience a little bit of the world of pears, shall we?
Today, I am experimenting (operative word experimenting) the baking of 3 kinds of pears: Anjou, Bosc, and Asian.
- Pears have an average of 100 calories and roughly 25 grams of carbs.
- They have about 30% more potassium than apples
- b/c of their denseness they deliver more nutrition per calorie than calorie per nutrition.
- They are also a good source of fiber and Vitamins C and E

Several years ago, David Nieman set out to study racers at the Western States Endurance Run, a 100-mile test of human stamina held annually in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The race directors had asked Nieman, a well-regarded physiologist and director of the Human Performance Laboratory at the North Carolina Research Campus, to look at the stresses that the race places on the bodies of participants. Nieman and the race authorities had anticipated that the rigorous distance and altitude would affect runners’ immune systems and muscles, and they did. But one of Nieman’s other findings surprised everyone. Read the rest of this entry »

Aug. 24) — The body’s appendix has long been thought of as nothing more than a worthless evolutionary artifact, good for nothing save a potentially lethal case of inflammation.
Now researchers suggest the appendix is a lot more than a useless remnant. Not only was it recently proposed to actually possess a critical function, but scientists now find it appears in nature a lot more often than before thought. And it’s possible some of this organ’s ancient uses could be recruited by physicians to help the human body fight disease more effectively.

This is a really good and thought provoking article for those that run and/or log a lot of miles one way or another on their feet.

Thrust enhancers, roll bars, microchips…the $20 billion running – shoe industry wants us to believe that the latest technologies will cushion every stride. Yet in this extract from his controversial new book, Christopher McDougall claims that injury rates for runners are actually on the rise, that everything we’ve been told about running shoes is wrong – and that it might even be better to go barefoot… Read the rest of this entry »

From Joe Friels Blog:
I’m still in the UK having spent the weekend at the TCR (Triathlon, Cycling and Running) Expo in London. I had a great time meeting people, attending some talks and doing a few of my own. On Sunday I sat in on a talk by a local physical therapist (called a ‘physio’ here). He had some great action videos shot of various runners of many different abilities. Each was running barefoot on a treadmill with a view from the back. I wish I had gotten his name and business affiliation but I failed to do so as I got there after the introduction.

LA Childrens Hospital Teams With Respected School
Acupuncture Today
By Tina Beychok, Associate Editor
One of the more encouraging findings from the recent National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine CAM survey (see February issue of Acupuncture Today) was the increase in its use among pediatric patients. Combine this with the trend toward integration into traditional medical settings, and there would seem to be a natural niche where AOM would fit very neatly. We have already seen acupuncture and Oriental medicine making inroads into the armed services, as well as providing unique learning opportunities for medical students. All of this points toward AOM being accepted as a part of the whole health care package. Now, a new collaborative externship program between a prestigious children’s hospital and a well-respected AOM school in Los Angeles seems to have found a way to bring these two elements together.
