Porcini Risotto

This classic Italian dish is rich with the flavor of dried porcini mushrooms. Adding truffle-flavored olive oil at the end of cooking adds depth. Always remember when making risotto to cook the rice until it is creamy but still has a bit of tooth. With a large green salad, this dish is elegant enough for guests.


Ingredients:


1/4 cup dried porcini mushrooms


3-4 cups warm vegetable stock


1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil


1 small onion, minced


1 cup Arborio rice


Salt and pepper to taste


2 teaspoons truffle-flavored olive oil (optional) or extra virgin olive oil


1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese (optional)

5 Ways to Help Sinus Problems

Chronic sinus problems don't necessarily require drugs or surgery - diet and lifestyle play important roles. Besides avoiding polluted, dusty and smoky environments (and secondhand smoke), try the following to help reduce the symptoms of chronic sinus problems:


Eliminate milk and all milk products from your diet (including prepared foods that list dairy and its byproducts as ingredients). This can lead to dramatic improvement after about two months.


Take astragalus (Astragalus membranaceous), the root of a native Chinese plant that boosts immune system function. The usual dose is two capsules twice a day unless otherwise directed on the package label.

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra

Dermatosis papulosa nigra is a condition, not a disease, seen almost exclusively in blacks. It occurs in about one-third of all black people and is twice as common in women as in men.


Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra

What does it look like? Tiny, smooth, raised, mole-like spots that appear on the face and neck that are darker than the skin around them. Resembling flat warts, they begin around the age of puberty, are inherited, can vary in number from just a few to hundreds, and become more numerous as a person gets older. They never become malignant; in other words, they are not precancer-ous growths.


If you have a lot of these tumors and are unhappy with the way they look, a dermatologist can remove them simply and easily with a variety of methods.

Diabetes and how it affects Sexual Health

Since glucose is the major energy source for your nerves, blood vessels and muscles, maintaining healthy blood sugar levels in the body is extremely essential to help the body maintain healthy biological functions.


The longer the time you’ve had diabetes, lesser is the control which you have over your blood glucose levels and hence, higher is the risk of dysfunctions and complications. Sexual dysfunction is primarily a complication which results from damage to the body’s blood vessels and nerves which are responsible for supplying blood to the sexual organs of the body.


Modifications and changes in your lifestyle may be necessary to improve your overall sexual health. These changes would include, having a healthy diet and regular exercise routine, blood pressure as well as cholesterol control, avoiding cigarette smoking, bringing down your alcohol consumption to a bare minimum and very importantly, stress management.

Soy and Breast Cancer

Soy seems to protect against breast cancer - at least if you eat it when you're young.Soy and Breast Cancer A new study from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) found that Asian-American women who ate the highest amounts of soy when they were children had a 58 percent reduced risk of developing breast cancer as adults. Women who consumed a lot of soy during adolescence or adulthood also had some protection - 20 to 25 percent lower than normal. In general, breast cancer rates among women in the U.S. have been four to seven times higher than those of women in China or Japan, but once Asian women emigrate to the U.S. their risk begins to increase, perhaps because of dietary changes. The researchers aren’t sure why soy is beneficial but speculated that the estrogen-like isoflavones it contains may affect young breast tissue in a protective way. The study was published online on March 24, 2009 in Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention.
