the goji berryWeight Loss and Fucoxanthin - Here's the Truth
Brown Seaweed contains Fucoxanthin. This is a pigment that gives the seaweed its brown color. It helps the seaweed to make chemical energy. Fucoxanthin is being studied for the purposes of weight loss and cancer fighting ability. It is used in Asian cuisine such as sushi, soups and salds.
Fat Burning?*
Rat studies have shown that Fucoxanthin may increase a protein in rats that causes fat to burn at a faster rate. The result is that these laboratory animals have a rapid loss of weight (fatty tissue). This protein is referred to as UCP1. It increases fat oxidation or fat burning.
Added advantage (An Antioxidant)
Fucoxanthin is an antioxidant. It helps to neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals are charged particles that the body generates in disease states (e.g. high blood pressure, obesity, atherosclerosis, cancer, etc.) and stress states. Free radicals promote aging and tissue damage in blood vessels and organs.
Added advantage (Omega-3 Fatty Acid)
In laboratory animals fed it with soybean oil, omega-3 fatty acid levels rose in the liver. Omega-3 fatty acids are thought to be heart friendly and protective against heart disease.
Final Words
Fucoxanthin is a promising nutritional supplement. Research continues in the areas of weight loss and omega-3 fatty acid levels. The studies involving fat-burning involves it raising the level of a protein called UCP1 that can burn fat at a faster rate in animal studies. Fucoxanthin is an excellent antioxidant.

Fun Halloween Recipes and Ideas
Halloween has always been a favorite time of year for me. Not only is it my birthday, but the air is clean and crisp, the leaves have turned colors and it�s just a very pretty time of year.
I�d like to share some fun Halloween ideas and recipes with you:
Halloween cookie cutters are a must. You can use these cookie cutters on bread to make Halloween sandwiches. Kids love jack-o-lantern shaped sandwiches. You can spread their favorite sandwich topping on the bread once it�s cut.
Purchase M&M�s from a store that sells specific colors. Buy orange and green M&M�s and then use them in your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe substituting the M&M�s for the chocolate chips.
You can also put those same M&M�s in your favorite rice krispy treat recipe. It�s amazing how these two colors transform recipes into Halloween recipes.
Look for mini cookie cutters. They can often be found in kitchen specialty shops. If you find pumpkin mini cookie cutters, these work great on cheese. Buy sliced cheese. Cut the cheese with the mini cookie cutters and then put the slice of round cheese on a Ritz cracker.
Prepare your favorite brownie recipe and then top with candy corn pieces.
Make hamburgers and use your cookie cutters on full size slices of cheese. Serve open faced so that the pumpkin or ghost shaped cheese is on top.
Many stores sell spinach pasta. Green pasta with red sauce is very Halloween looking to kids. Make english muffin pizzas. Add sauce and cheese and then cover with pepperoni slices. Use pineapple chunks to make eyes, nose and mouth.
What would Halloween be without pumpkin flavored items? Here are a few pumpkin recipes for you:
Pumpkin Dip
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 large 30-ounce can of pumpkin
4 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger
Mix everything together and serve. Kids love to dip both fruit and cookies into this dip.
And what about pumpkin muffins? I love pumpkin muffins warmed with butter on them:
Pumpkin Muffins
3 1/3 cups flour
3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup oil
4 eggs
2/3 cup water
2 cups pumpkin
Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Pour into muffin tins. Batter will rise, so only fill the muffin tins 2/3 of the way full. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Decorating your table can be fun also. Use a combination of blacks and oranges. Use cat or witch shaped bowls. I have a friend who owns plates, creamers and tea pots in the shape of cats. You can also sprinkle your M&M�s and candy corn on the table. The kids can eat the decorations.
Enjoy Halloween with your kids and their friends at home with all of the above treats and ideas.

Eat Breakfast!
It never ceases to amaze me how many people do not eat breakfast!
From trades-people to service providers, executives to kids, real estate agents to bankers, they do not eat the meal that breaks the fast.
The meal that would make them stronger, healthier and much easier to be around.
I have found that people who do not eat breakfast are extremely cranky.
These individuals� idea of breakfast may either be a cup of coffee or tea, or even fruit juice, all useless by themselves. The caffeine drinks jazz them up and the fruit juice is just sugar, which has a similar effect. A huge rise and a great fall.
It would be so much easier on me, and others who do eat a nutritious breakfast each day if others in business would do the same.
Yes, I may sound selfish, however, I am a little frustrated with being forced to deal with certain individuals in the morning that have not had a healthy breakfast. They can be cranky, abrupt, and short-tempered and have a bad memory.
It doesn�t help that they may have a decent lunch; I am dealing with them in the morning. No choice, in most instances.
Some say they have no time. Well, if you have time to get dressed, you have time to eat something. Get up earlier to exercise, meditate and eat breakfast!
Susan has been in her field for over twenty years. Her point is that she either sleeps or eats breakfast, and sleeping always wins out. The best she has been able to accomplish regarding breakfast is a protein drink. Not bad, but could be better.
Susan says that if she sleeps, gets into work on time, there is usually a staff meeting. The meeting ends at 11:00 AM or so and too late for breakfast, so wait for lunch. Starving, the employees run off to gorge on lunch, yet still have to work hard in the afternoon. Most times, they have eaten two meals in one, of which most will turn to fat and they will certainly be drowsy during the remainder of the day.
Protein is good for breakfast; so consider making hard-boiled eggs at the beginning of the week. Best case scenario, take an egg in the car each day and eat a few grams of protein. If you are a vegan or vegetarian, scramble some tofu in advance, roll into an organic tortilla and you are on your way.
You can eat last night�s dinner � maybe a piece of chicken, pizza or grilled vegetables. Or make yourself some eggs, egg whites or peanut butter on toast.
Or brown bag your breakfast. Raid the fridge and put it together the night before.
A nasty side effect from not eating breakfast is over eating at lunch. Too much food, too little time to digest and it quickly turns to fat. Which means you gain weight.
A benefit from eating breakfast is that it helps you maintain or even lose weight.
And it is better for the brain, and me, especially if I have to talk business with you.
So, do yourself, your co-workers and me a favor.
Eat breakfast!
