Do you want to eat healthy and add some color back in to your life? You're in luck! Chemical researchers have linked healthy eating to a colorful diet. Dr. Ronald Prior, a PhD research chemist with the USDA explains, Every hue - green, yellow, orange, red, purple, and even white - signifies a different class of nutrients, each of which offers a unique benefit." Dr. Prior's research follows the trail of antioxidants found in various foods and the health benefits attributed to such healthy components.
It turns out that we can break it down for you like the hues of a rainbow. Yellow/Orange: Sweet potatoes, carrots, mango and corn, which contain carotenoids which help reduce the risk of cancer. Green: Spinach and broccoli contain lutein which promotes sharper, better vision. Blue/Purple: Blueberries and blackberries contain anthocyanins which prevent and suppress tumor growth. Red: Tomatoes and watermelon contain lycopene which helps prevent heart disease and cancer. White: Cauliflower and potatoes are a good source of vitamin C.
Research indicates that mixing these foods together helps to boost their overall antioxidant effects. So, the key to a youthful, healthy exterior, sharp mind, healthy strong bones and disease prevention might start with a healthy rainbow of colorful foods on your plate.

WASHINGTON - The influenza vaccine given to Americans may not protect as well as expected, U.S. health officials said on Friday as the number of flu cases increased nationwide.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said slightly more than half of the influenza virus strains reported to its surveillance system are not good matches against the strains included in this flu seasons vaccine.
The number of states reporting widespread flu activity jumped to 31 this week compared with 11 a week ago, the CDC said. But Dr. Joe Bresee of the CDCs influenza division said there are no indications this flu season is worse than usual.

Seasonal flu activity was slow to start this year but has increased sharply in recent weeks, Bresee told reporters.
One measure officials use to gauge the severity of the season is the number of flu-related child deaths. Bresee said the CDC has heard of six U.S. children who have died from the flu, a relatively low number compared with recent years.
Flu viruses mutate and change all the time, so every year a different vaccine is created as officials predict which particular strains will circulate.
The vaccine is designed to protect against three influenza strains two from Type A, an H1N1 and an H3N2 version, and one for Type B.
Bresee said about 30 percent of the overall strains of influenza in the United States may be a Type A strain that emerged in Australia called H3N2 A/Brisbane. It emerged too late to be included in the flu vaccine offered in the United States beginning in September and October.
The Type B strain chosen for this years vaccine also was not a good match for most of the B virus strains seen in the United States this flu season, Bresee said.
While a less-than-ideal virus match between the viruses in the vaccine and those circulating viruses can reduce vaccine effectiveness, we know from past influenza studies that the vaccine can still protect enough to make illness milder or prevent flu-related complications, Bresee said.

Under-the-tongue vaccine could help lick the flu
Bresee noted that decisions on the composition of the annual vaccine are made about nine months before it is made available to the public in the fall, and it is sometimes hard to know that far in advance which strains will circulate.
Flu vaccines take months to make.
Bresee also said some resistance is being reported to the antiviral drug Tamiflu, made by Switzerlands Roche Holding AG and Gilead Sciences Inc of the United States. Of the viruses tested in CDC flu labs, 4.5 percent are resistant to the drug, Bresee said.
Influenza kills an estimated 36,000 Americans in an average year, and puts 200,000 into the hospital, the CDC said.

Question :
Weight loss slowing and other fitness problems.?
I am a female about 30 ish. I have been doing a fitness boot camp for the last three weeks and watching my diet. Boot camp is 4-5 days a week for an hour. The first two weeks I dropped ten pounds but have lost only 1 in the last week. I still have 20-25lbs left to lose. It seems I have slowed a bit and started running on a treadmill this week in the evenings for about 20 min with a 15 min speed walk. I think I may have cut my daily calories to much last week sometimes forgetting to eat. Anyhow, I would like to lose at least 3 lbs a week. I would like some suggestions for stepping up the weight loss and eating correctly. I think the key is in my diet. I cut calories but the quality of the food is not very impressive. The goal is to balance between weight loss and energy. I would like a long term change for better health with steady results losing weight. Also, I am losing weight everywhere but my stomach, which is where I need to lose it the most. My stomach is hard and muscular with the fat either underneath or in between the muscle and some fat on my back. The rest of my body is very muscular with little to no fat but I am a bit bulky from lifting and sports in the past. I would to slim it down a bit but the main problem is bulky stomach. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.Answer :
1-2 lbs a week is normal. 10 lbs is alot for just 2 weeks. Keep with the program, and just accept 1-2 lbs a week.
eat more fruits and veggies, eat smaller portions, eat 4-6 small meals.
Exercise can be done anywhere, anyhow. Take a brisk walk. Learn to jog. Jump rope, jumping jacks, take up rollarblading, a sport, get a bike and start riding it. 1 hour every day. And take PE seriously.
