HEALTH RESEARCH General Philosophy Remember, we have about 60 trillion cells, each of which does trillions of things a second just to keep us alive. As you can imagine, the research possibilities and facts are potentially endless. So much to know, so little time... Two choices pop up. One is to feel defeated, to not bother or care about how we function or about the factors that make us stronger and healthier. The other is to let others do the work. To read review, short articles on a subject. I have included Health newsletters that do just that. (Newsletters) And I will be including interesting information on the various topics listed on the left, for your information. This list will grow, so come back as often as you are curious. If you are interested in a more accurate way of determining your fat level, then calculate your body mass index. Click here for a chart. Serving Sizes All this talk about 5-10 servings of fruit and vegetables. Remember, official serving sizes, according to the USDA, are small: a cup of raw, leafy vegetables, 1/2 cup of chopped, cooked or canned fruits or vegetables (including tomato sauce); one slice of melon; 1/4 cup of dried fruit; and 3/4 cup of juice. A large apple or banana, a cup of broccoli or a medium size salad counts as TWO servings. Dried beans (legumes) can be counted either as protein sources, along with meat, or as vegetables; a serving is 1/2 cup of cooked beans. The more food you eat each day, the more fruits and vegetables you should aim for.
