Energy Drinks, are they good for you?

Dangerous Energy Drinks?
(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Energy drinks are a booming business. Americans spent 744 million dollars on them in one year alone. They're already banned in several countries, including Denmark , Italy , Norway and Sweden , but in the U.S. , the drinks are marketed to our youth. So what's the risk?
 
With names like rock star, red bull and monster, teens are drawn to energy drinks.
"I was really curious about them," Orin told Ivanhoe.
"I started drinking them because my friend was drinking them," Kathy explained to Ivanhoe. 18-year-old Ryan told Ivanhoe that he used to down eight energy drinks a day, "I'd come to school with like three or four, and by lunch, they'd be gone." 
 
Doctor Peter Antevy says energy drinks are especially harmful to the still-growing teenage brain. "The FDA went ahead and approved these drinks with ingredients that have never really been looked at," Antevy, M.D., pediatric emergency room physician at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida told Ivanhoe.
 
Energy drink vs coffeeAn eight-ounce cup of coffee averages 85 milligrams of caffeine. One energy drink has up to 500 milligrams. "Imagine the high you get and the crash that ensues quickly after that," Peter Antevy, M.D. described to Ivanhoe. Energy drinks also contain taurine, guarana, mega-doses of b vitamins and a potent "energy blend" -- all of which can increase heart rate. Doctor Antevy says the mixture can cause serious heart problems -- even death. Consuming too many energy drinks has also been linked to anxiety and high blood pressure.

"I think that these drinks should be banned in the U.S. They should not allow these companies to put that amount of caffeine in a drink," Antevy voiced his opinion.
Ryan kicked his habit after he clocked his resting heart rate at 117 beats per minute. A normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100. "I was actually very scared. I thought I was sort of like having a heart attack," Ryan said.
Orin, Kathy and Mike know the risks, but they still drink them. "I'm not going to drink them for the rest of my life," Mike said. The drinks may keep them energized, but teens might want to think about the dangers before they take another sip. Experts say the drinks can be especially dangerous when mixed with alcohol. 
 

Secret ingredients: Cinnamon and Honey

 
Cinnamon and Honey
Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot.
 
It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing".   When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.
 
Cinnamon and Honey

Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around.  Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:  It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.  Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.
 
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.   Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:
 
HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack.  Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat.  In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.
 
ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.
 
BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.
 
CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours.   As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
 
COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.
 
UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.
 
GAS:
According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that if Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.
 
IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacterial and viral diseases.
 
INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.
 
INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ' Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.
 
LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increase and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.
 
PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.
 
SKIN INFECTIONS:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.
 
WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.
 
CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three times a day.
 
FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.
 
BAD BREATH:
People of South America, first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.
 
HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

Heart attack? Aspirin crystal work faster.

Why keep aspirin by your bedside? 
About Heart Attacks

There are other symptoms of an heart attack besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and  lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently.
Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack. The majority of people (about 60%) who  had a heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up.  However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.

If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth (under your tongue)  and swallow them with a bit of water.
 
Afterwards:
 - phone 911
 - say "heart attack!"
 - say that you have taken 2 aspirins.
 - take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and...
 ~ do NOT lie down ~

West Boca High students helping Iraqi war orphans
 
Erin Plocey and other studentsWest Boca High students helping Iraqi war orphans
By Andrea G. Rollin Special Correspondent November 22, 2009

Erin Locey and fellow student volunteers from West Boca Raton High School are working to make a difference.

For more than six months, Locey, 15, has been spearheading a collection drive to benefit the Orphans of War Campaign, a project of the American Health Association that donates goods to Iraq's orphanages.

"I became interested in the organization because I'm a part of the medical academy at my school, and we are required to have 50 volunteer hours for the year," said Locey, a high school freshman who lives west of Boca Raton. "I received Robert Gordon's name from the list of volunteer opportunities, so I contacted him."

Gordon, the association's founder, asked Locey to create Facebook, MySpace and Twitter pages for the group's campaigns.

"Once I began getting more involved with the organization, I attended meetings and fundraisers and decided to organize my own fundraiser for the cause, so myself, my mom and the other volunteers made suggestions about ways that I could get other students involved, which is where the idea for the Wal-Mart fundraiser came in," Locey said.

Stationed outside the SuperCenter in Coconut Creek, Locey and her classmates asked shoppers for a wide range of items, including cash to help pay for shipping. Items collected will be packed and shipped from a Delray Beach warehouse by volunteers.

Items on the students' wish list include stuffed animals, new and gently used clothes, teddy bears, dolls, toys, children's books, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soccer balls and volley balls.

"With this fundraiser, it gets students involved, allows them to fulfill their volunteer obligation and also collects donations to ship to orphans of war overseas, along with monetary donations for shipping costs," Locey said.

Locey said she has learned from Gordon (who has visited the war-torn country) about the horrible living conditions that many children in Iraq have to endure.

"He even showed me photos of some of the children living in the streets or in a one-room shack, sleeping on a dirt floor, with no clothes to wear," Locey said. "It makes me sad to think about any child having to live that way and also makes me realize how blessed I am to have those things that some people take for granted."

Gordon said the campaign has been a big success.

"We've received plaques from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps," he said. "We have 55 programs worldwide. I just came back from Iraq, where I was keynote speaker at the first orphans' conference there. We are in the process of opening an office in the Mideast for our various projects there."

Locey said it feels good to help less-fortunate children.

"Helping the orphans overseas makes me feel awesome because I couldn't imagine being without a family to care for me and feeling like I was all alone in the world," she said. "I know that the orphans will be extremely happy even with the tiniest present. ... It feels great knowing that I helped put a smile on their faces."
