With football season underway some 1.5 million high school football players will take to the gridiron, unaware that 250,000 will suffer concussions or serious brain injuries this year, according to the Brain Injury Association. The association estimates brain injuries now account for 85 percent of all football-related fatalities and even 5 percent of soccer players sustain brain injuries from direct head-to-head contacts, as well as heading of the ball. In boxing and karate it has long been known the jaw presents the optimal target for knocking out opponents because it serves as a lever, transmitting force from a blow through the jawbone to the brain.

The Doctor's Office - Sigmund Miller, DC http://www.BaltimoreWestHealth.org/doctorsoffice.shtml Soy, Good for Women Soy protein is now becoming more and more recognized as a valuable aid in helping menopausal women feel better and become healthier. Soy is a complete protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids, as opposed to animal protein, which does not. The low level of amino acids in animal meat results in a long digestion time of up to 12 hours. Soy gives the body an alkaline base which improves immunity and reduces viral and bacterial activity. Soy keeps the blood sugar level steady throughout the day decreasing cravings, mood swings and fatigue. Soy is very digestible. It is quickly absorbed into the blood to produce immediate results. What is the one food you need to eat to add 25 years to your life? It is Soy! A quality soy protein powder when combined with 1 cup of soymilk or 1 cup of nonfat milk can offer up to 24 grams of protein per serving, 1.4 grams of total fat, less than 1 gram of saturated fat and 4 mg of cholesterol. Manufacturers of soy need to keep their heat processing below 56 degrees. Those that heat above 110 degrees are destroying valuable enzymes needed for protein utilization. A good soy manufacturer will have a low heat process that retains the enzyme function and therefore the protein utilization. Soy protein must be water washed to maintain phytochemicals and phytoestrogens. Many manufacturers use alcohol as a wash, which destroys 88% of the iosflavones. It is extremely important to know which type of soy you are using and how it is manufactured. Women who have less severe menopausal symptoms have higher phytoestrogen levels in their bodies. These women consume a diet high in compounds that contain these phytoestrogens such as soy, flaxseed, flaxseed oil, nuts, whole grains, apples, parsley and alfalfa.
