| RE: Cold Drinks for Working Outside |
The fat stays in the stomach longer regardless of whether or not one drinks cold fluids, that is just how digestion works. It is in there long enough that it is returned to core temperature long before it is released into the intestines, where it mixes with the digestive fluids to be broken down and absorbed or expelled. The stomach fluids do not digest the fat.
Unless the individual is in a severely hypothermic condition (at whch point digestion would be the least of the issues), the stomach contents are at core temperature. Also, if the "don't drink cold" theory was the case, would we not WANT to drink lots of ice water, so the fat we ingest would remain solid and not be digested?
Yes, I have read some of the theorist ideas regarding drinking hot water after meals preventing cancer, etc. However, as a health professional, I depend on solid research and evidence-based articles before I will buy in. I need data. ... View related article. |

| RE: Cold Drinks for Working Outside |
For all of Deeli's good intentions, when we drink cold liquids, they are warmed to body temperature in the esophagus and stomach; and fat is digested further down in the digestive tract.
Cold liquids help cool the body, keeping our core temperature from rising as much.
Warm or cool--it's your preference. The important thing is to stay hydrated. If you wait until you're very thirsty, you've waited too long. Sip frequently as you work. ... View related article. |

| RE: Grease Stain on Teak Serving Tray |

If you are not successful getting the grease stain off; couldn't you just oil the entire tray and make it match? They make special oil for wood cutting boards and bowls; though mineral oil would probably also do a good job. (Do not use a vegetable oil--they can go rancid over time.) ... View related article. |

First I would try an ordinary rubber eraser. If that did not do it; I would try a piece from a "Magic Eraser" sold for cleaning. One of those should do it. ... View related article. |

| RE: Remedies for Bug Bites |
Ammonia works well for stings. A paste made with meat tenderizer and water can help take the itch out of some bug bites. Ice is always good.
Above all, make sure to clean them (periodically) with soap and water so you don't get an infection. If you have a spider bite, or other bite that really swells, or gets red and hot to the touch, or if you have a fever, or the site becomes VERY painful, it is time to "bite the bullet "and see a doctor. Infections are nothing to play with. ... View related article. |

| RE: Pizza Sauce Without Tomatoes |
You might also ask your doctor if your daughter might be lactose intolerant. Mine both were (after having viruses--though later we were able to re-introduce regular milk). But that will cause awful, awful diaper rash!
It is not hard to deal with (lactose intolerance), but worth looking at if she has diarrhea and the rash is chronic.
Also, depending on your living situation, when the weather is good, let her go without a diaper as much as you can, so the air gets to her bottom. You could put a dress or skirt on her for modesty.
As for the pizza; I also like mine made with jarred pesto sauce, instead of red sauce. ... View related article. |

| RE: Recipes Using TVP |
I've never tried to convert for beef, just sort of do it by "feel". My daughter is vegetarian, and the TVP is a great substitute for ground meat. I jsut make the base recipe up to the point where I would add meat. Then I set aside a portion for her and add the reconstituted TVP, and add the meat for the rest of us. If my husband is not home, I just give us all the TVP. It is not the same as the meat, but is quite good. It takes on the flavor of whatever you mix it with.
If you are unsure about amount (as it varies by size of the "pieces" of TVP and the grade of ground beef that you use), next time you cook ground beef, measure the yield after it is cooked and drained; then mix about a cup of TVP per package directions and see how it compares.
TVP is much cheaper at a bulk food store or a health food store than at the grocery store. ... View related article. |
