Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 ----- Peanuts may Help Keep Heart Healthy A study suggests eating peanuts can help you keep your heart healthy without putting on the pounds. Richard Mattes, professor of foods and nutrition at Purdue University, and colleagues found regular peanut consumption may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease without weight gain. " Peanuts are the most widely consumed nut in this country, " Mattes said. " They are a rich source of monosaturated fatty acids, magnesium and folate, vitamin E, copper, arginine and fiber, all of which have cardiovascular disease risk-reducing properties. " Peanuts also have satiety properties, meaning you feel full after eating a few, Mattes said. In three tests, peanut-eating participants lowered their level of triglycerides, a risk factor for heart disease, the researchers found. Tips for Avoiding West Nile Virus Experts offer tips for protecting yourself against the deadly, mosquito-borne West Nile virus, which is expected to hit every state by the end of the year. The virus, which caused 284 deaths in 2002, is particularly dangerous to people over 50. Outdoor expert Brian Brawdy recommends these ways to avoid infection: Wear skin protection such as apparel with ExOfficio's BuzzOff insect shield; choose an insect repellent that is water-based and contains DEET or a citronella-based product for children; wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing; limit heavily scented colognes, soaps, shampoos and lotions; limit time outdoors at dawn and dusk; remove standing water, puddles and catch-basins in your yard; patch holes in screens, doors and windows; check children for ticks and insect bites; remember mosquito season is April through October; visit the Centers for Disease Control Web site at CDC.gov for up-to-the-minute, state-by-state virus status reports.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I just installed a radio fence for my dogs. What an ill-timed adventure. Its been raining, raining, raining here in W Pennsylvania. Then we had about a week of dry, warmer weather. Reckon everything was just waiting to hatch---bugwise. Got bites on my arms, legs, shoulders, etc.etc. Who knows whether the particular mosquito that decided to taste a few of my blood cells had anything or not. I just hope that the benefits of all the various herbs that I eat and drink, actually have my immune system roaring like a lion. I’ve used deet. But I really do hate it. I wear any of that kind of stuff and it makes my skin have a slight burning sensation. I don’t like that. Methinks that that is probably not healthy. And I know that deet is not healthy. But, on the other hand, sprayed on a few strategic places, like ones clothes or a bandana on the the head: That can still keep the little critters away from their much looked for feast. They are certainly pests if not anything else.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I did try one while I was fishing once. I had to tear it off quickly. It attacked me rather than the mosquitoes. I felt something very hot all at once. Turned out it was melting, right there on my chest. They take one of those 9volt batteries. Something had shorted out and it melted. I didn’t notice it until it hurt. Although it did appear to work until meltdown. ed Carol Minnick [carolminnick] Monday, August 18, 2003 3:34 PM RE: HEALTH Tidbits Has anyone ever tried those mosquito repellant devices that fit on your belt and they emit a noise (I think) that scares them away.
