health assessments..
we had to do one at work yesterday.if we did not participate, then when they renew the insurance policy next year, those who chose not to only had one choice of plans, where as the people who did get a choice of different coverage's and prices. my assessment was not bad, a little high blood pressure, but i knew that already. my cholesterol is a little high, again, i knew that. both were high, but nothing too serious. especially my BP, i my meds ran out two weeks ago, have not gotten around to refilling them, and considering i have not taken any since, it was still right around the same a s it was last time i saw my own dr.

Re: health assessments..
Yeah we all try to eat and drink healthier.I just wish it was that easy. I don't like or trust insurance companies. They can come back and say high blood pressure and cholesterol is a high risk person. They will do anything that benefits them.I didn't have high blood pressure and up until right before my heart attack I didn't have high cholesterol either.My previous stress test came back fine as did all the other tests. You would be amazed how often the tests are wrong (40%) and how many people have heart attacks with no pre-existing conditions. Others eat all the wrong foods and have all the warning signs and nothing ever happens.But I hope you do take care of yourself and try to eat better. I always try to look at it like "it can't hurt to do better". I do know I felt much better when I was in really good shape.I want to get there again.

The history of the grit dates back to the Native American Indian, and is made of ground corn. I get mine at the grocery. I hear you probably can't get them north of S. Carolina, however you can get hominy. Or, if you have a good friend in the South, who might could send you some?
The word "grits" derives from the Old English word "grytt," meaning coarse meal.[1] This word originally referred to wheat and other porridges now known as groats in parts of the U.K.. Maize, unknown in Europe in the Middle Ages, is a food derived from corn (a New World plant) and "corn" had been used to describe wheat products in many European regions.

I thought for a moment, and realize I'm not being fair. I saw them and didn't know what they were.
Grits are a coarsely ground grain. Think of coarse salt, only grits are white, and soft when boiled. And, I guess the consistency of a porridge. They are bland tasting. Often cheese, salt, pepper, sugar, or maple syrup are added. You can add sausage, bacon, or a fried egg.

Re: health assessments..
I tried some of those damn grits at work. It some that came out of a large bags, we make large batches, I damn near puked my guts at my desk. They were so salty, I thought my mouth was going to shrink shut. I compared them to eating malto meal with a 1/2 pound of course salt added. Of course these where suppose to be the cheesy type, never did find any cheese either. Never again.

Grits are like oatmeal, cream of wheat or any other hot breakfast cereal. You will find good and bad. If you make the better ones they don't have salt unless you add it.

Re: health assessments..
Flaxseed, it is in the Better Oats oatmeal and Special K cereals. You can also add flax seed to your food.
Benefit of Flaxseed
Prevention is most important in staying healthy and the benefit of flaxseed is that it is powerful at helping prevent illness and promote health and healing in our bodies.
Although flax has been known to have been used thousands of years ago, even as far back as 1000BC because of its many health benefits, flax was until recently relatively unknown and unused except for in paints and clothes.
Flaxseed is becoming known as an extremely beneficial and powerful super food.
Even Mahatma Ghandi said: Wherever golden flaxseeds become a regular food item among the people, there will be better health.
The increase in awareness of the benefit of flaxseed has created a stir in the food processing business. Currently there are over 300 food products that contain flaxseed.
The 5 main parts of flaxseed that promote health are omega 3 fatty acid, lingams, fiber, protein and vitamins + minerals. Then these three ingredients work together to provide a variety of health benefits.
You must grind the seeds so that your body can digest them and get all the health benefits.
The benefit of flaxseed is primarily by giving our body the nutrition that it needs to stay healthy, then it can heal itself.

Re: health assessments..
Damn straight....Put a handful in every loaf of bread, and every bowl of cereal....you can also buy it in oil form and use it for cooking, but some say heating it really hot destroys the health benefits, but I'm not real sure about that.
Another thing you should know if you buy it bulk....they don't normally spray it with pesticides, so buying organic is kind of a waste of money.

Most nutrition experts recommend ground over whole flaxseed because the ground form is easier for your body to digest. Whole flaxseed may pass through your intestine undigested, which means you won't get all the benefits.

I've always read it had to be ground or at least cracked. I am not even sure they sell it in whole form. I like adding it to a smoothie it gives it a slight nutty flavor.Great on salad, cereals and baked goods as well.Wheat germ , bran and a few others are good the same ways. Even ice cream and then you don't feel as bad about eating the ice cream because you justify it by saying it's healthy. "It's got milk, and other natural ingredients" lol

Re: health assessments..
Hi, Here I go again.... Kale
What is kale?
I love recommending kale for three fundamental reasons: Kale tops the charts of nutrient density, possesses incredible culinary flexibility, and is easy to grow almost anywhere. My ultimate measure of a food is its power to support brain health, and it is clear that more kale in your diet means a happier, healthier, sexier you -- all the basic signs that your brain is running well.
How does kale do this? What's the miracle in that crunch? Let's start with the power of phytonutrients, molecules in plants that do amazing things. One called sulfurophane travels from your kale smoothie to your liver where it amps up your body's natural detox power. Another called kaempferol is truly the fountain of youth -- it turns on the genes that promote longer life. (Move over red wine resveratrol.) Add to this mix carotenoids, which Harvard University just linked to one's overall sense of optimism, and glucosinolates, a known cancer fighter, and it is clear that kale is good medicine. Just step into the "Farmacy."
Brain health depends on picking the right fats in your diet, as the brain is about 60 percent fat. One vital set of fats most eaters need more of is the omega-3s, which happen to be the main kind of fat in kale. The plant-based omega-3 ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is linked to numerous health benefits like lowering the risk of depression and diabetes. Both diabetes and obesity wreak havoc on the brain and kale is a great first step to fighting both. High blood sugar ages blood vessels and brain cells more quickly and fat cells create "pro-inflammatory" signals and frankly, who wants an inflamed brain? The fiber in kale is naturally filling and also promotes better gut health. And kale is a naturally low-carb food, so there is no spike in blood sugar.
The brain depends on essential vitamins and minerals to function. By these traditional measures of nutrient density, kale is at the top of the charts. A cup of raw kale has just 33 calories, yet you get a huge dose of vitamin C (134 percent RDA), pro-vitamin A (206 percent RDA), and a vitamin K (684 percent RDA). Those are some hefty numbers, but what is with all that vitamin K?! We don't hear much about this essential vitamin, but this is a nutrient to watch. Long associated with blood clotting, vitamin K is a powerful anti-oxidant that protects fat. It is a key co-factor need to make the specialized fats called sphingolipids that create the structure of our brain cells, and it promotes brain cells being more resilient by influencing gene expression. Vitamin K is also needed for bone health, and kale happens to be a great source of another bone-builder. Studies of calcium absorption from kale have shown its absorption to be superior to milk! That's because unlike many other greens such as spinach, kale has almost no oxalates that impair absorption. Kale also has a lot of protein for a leafy green. Add to this iron, folate, and vitamin B6, all needed to make brain molecules like serotonin and dopamine, and it is clear that kale is brain food.
