ONE TIME CLEANING SPECIAL

• In 1911, Polish scientist Casimir Funk theorized that diseases such as beriberi and scurvy were caused by a lack of substances he dubbed “vital amines.” This term was shortened to ‘vitamins.’ He was the first to prove that these illnesses were not caused by exterior factors but were simply caused by dietary deficiency. • Other researchers began isolating these vital amines, calling them simply “vital amine factor A”, “factor B” and “factor C” and so forth. The lack of factor A caused blindness; the lack of factor B caused beriberi; the lack of factor C caused scurvy; the lack of factor D caused rickets; the lack of factor E caused miscarriage, and so on. • At one time there were vitamins A through P. Subsequent research revealed many duplicates, so some were scratched from the list. That’s why there is no vitamin F today. (Continued next page)

by Janet Spencer On February 5, 1915, the first experiment sponsored by the Public Health Department in order to prove that some diseases are caused by dietary deficiencies began.

VITAMIN D

• Vitamin D acts as a catalyst to produce proteins that allow minerals to move through the intestinal membrane and into the cells. Without it, the disease called rickets causes the bones to soften and bend. • The misperception persists that vitamin D is present in sunlight. Actually, vitamin D cannot be formed unless it is activated by ultraviolet light. Therefore, sunlight does not contain vitamin D; it only activates it. Cats and dogs, when they lick their fur, ingest body fat that has been irradiated on their fur. This serves as a source of vitamin D.

VITAMIN K

RIKES T S E U G A L P DEFLATION

• Vitamin K comes in cabbage, cauliflower, spinach and pork liver, but the vitamin is also synthesized in the intestinal tract by bacteria, no matter what you eat. Vitamin K is necessary for the liver to synthesize clotting elements that circulate in the blood. Too much vitamin K can damage the liver. Taking oral antibiotics can kill the intestinal bacteria that synthesize vitamin K.

VITAMIN B cont'd

• Scientists wondered why Hindus, who are strict vegetarians, never suffered from vitamin deficiencies while living in India, but would come down with B12 deficiencies if they emigrated to Britain. It was found that their diet in India inadvertently contained insect parts that became mixed in with the food. But in Britain, where food control laws were stricter, there were fewer microscopic insect fragments in the food. Insects are rich in vitamins, including B12. • Beriberi was a perplexing disease, causing fatigue, then death. In 1894 Christiaan Eijkman began to study it. Certain it was caused by a bacteria or virus, he tried unsuccessfully to infect chickens. One group of chickens received injections of the beriberi bacteria, and another group did not. Suddenly, both groups came down with beriberi. Just as suddenly, both groups recovered. He was mystified. • He spoke with the man who fed them. Back then, brown rice was undesirable, and white rice (which has the hull and the germ polished off) was desirable. Chickens were normally fed undesirable brown rice. But when the supply of brown rice ran out, the chickens received white rice, and they got sick. When more brown rice arrived, they recovered. Eijkman concluded that white rice contains a poison which brown rice neutralizes, not realizing that brown rice contains vitamin B1 (also called thiamine) which wasn’t isolated and named until 1926.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle

Clear the Way

In days before heavy machinery marathons weren’t run on smooth paths but over roads filled with obstacles. These stumbling blocks could cause the runner to slip and fall and prevent them from finishing the race. We are going to look at three boulders that must be removed as we run our lifelong marathon. “Build, build! Make a road! Clear the way, remove the rocks from the road my people will travel.” Isaiah 57:1314 Three rocks we focus on are; 1) Unhealthy relationships - In the marathon of life we get to choose our traveling companions. Become more selective. Here are three things to look for: 1) shared values, 2) an understanding of your God-given purpose, and 3) strength. 2) Unforgiveness - Don’t play God!! You’ve received mercy so pass it on. When something or someone triggers resentment, stop and pray, “Father I forgive them as you have forgiven me. I ask you to bless them as you have blessed me.” 3) Divided Heart - An undivided (decided) heart is the result of a made-up mind. Commit to a God-given purpose that will outlive you. Pour your life marathon into something that will benefit the Kingdom more than yourself. Here are some tools to apply to your everyday life: • Run your marathon one day at a time • Remove the rocks in your path • Stay in training • Keep moving

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was German author and statesman Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who made the following sage observation: “When ideas fail, words come in very handy.” ● Unless you’re a local, you’ve probably never heard of the town of Rugby, North Dakota, but if you ever set out to find the geographical center of the “NATIONAL” continent of North America, that’s where you’ll WORDS (continued): end up. • French: Chefs know what it means to “french” a food item.

Luckily, the majority of us prefer a bit of legal Colombian, as in the coffee grown in the South American nation. The prevalence of coffee shops throughout America is proof enough that many of us just can’t get along in the morning without a hot cup of Colombian. • Chinese: The generic term “chinese” now represents types of food that are very different from the meals that are (or ever were) served in China. That said, the same argument could be made about what we consider “American” food. Hamburgers? Ice cream? Hot dogs? Pizza? Our national favorites seem to have originated everywhere except in the United States!

Decision-Making

At some point in our lives as seniors, someone is going to want to step in and help us with decisions, some of them financial. Perhaps we arrive at a magic number in age, and based on that number, it’s assumed we need help, especially if there’s been some cognitive decline. But it’s not necessarily so. Researchers at the Columbia Business School looked at how cognitive decline and agecommon pair with making sound 1. This weed is high in vitamin A. decisions. They wondered whether 2. True orwith False: Orangesdecisions contain more dealing complex for retirement and wealth vitamin C plans, than anypensions other fruit. would be difficult past a certain age. One of the measurements they used, along with tests on decision-making and cognitive ability, was the everyday credit score to determine whether age alone had a bearing on it. Credit scores are one form of proof of a long period of responsible financial decisions, as well as an understanding of the benefits that come from having a high score. One test given to the participants involved the question of whether to first pay off credit cards with higher interest rates or cards with lower balances. Another test involved selecting healthcare plans from a list of choices. The end result was that accumulated lifetime knowledge and experience (crystallized intelligence) has more weight than the ability to process new information and to think logically (fluid intelligence). A co-author of the study said, “An alternative route to making sound financial decisions comes from experience -- and that improves with age.” At the same time, they propose that policymakers or those who serve seniors allow fewer choices that rely on fluid (new) information and lean more heavily toward the intelligence gained over a lifetime. The bottom line for us is not to give up control too quickly. The age-related lack of decision-making ability that’s expected might never come.

Placing bread in the refrigerator will hasten the breakdown of the artificially added vitamins.

THE CHALLENGE If you could lose weight risk FREE... And win $1000 for losing 10lbs... You would do it...RIGHT?

As part of the "90-Day Challenge" we drink a shake mix that smells and tastes like a cake mix, at only $1.87 per shake. Average weight-loss is 5 pounds per week! BUT it's not just for losing weight! Body builders use it to build muscles, families use it to save money and provide a "Healthy Fast Food". It's safe, lactose free, diabetic friendly, and gluten free.
