9/08/07 Help With Psychological Addiction
For many smokers it is hard to quit smoking because of the social and emotional ties that they have with smoking. Most states have and offer a free telephone -based program to help people quit. These people help you develop a program that is for you to quit. People who use this program stop smoking at twice the rate of those whom dont. Telephone counceling is easier for people because they can do it at any time. Most of the time it is easier for people to quit if they have help from family and friends. Here are three things that that youe should look for in a non smokers support group.
1. Session length – at least 20 to 30 minutes per session
2. Number of sessions – at least 4 to 7 sessions
3. Number of weeks – at least 2 weeks
There are some programs to watch out for as well.Not all programs are ethical. You should be concerned about programs that do the following:
1. Promise instant, easy success with no effort on your part.
2. Use injections or pills, especially "secret" ingredients.
3. Charge a very high fee.
4. They are not willing to provide references from people who have taken the class.

Vitamin D helps regulate the calcium and phosphorus, when sent to the liver and kidney it also acts as a hormone that messages the intestines to increase the absorption of calcium. Vitamin D is created when exposed to the sun or eating certain foods. You may get a lot of Vitamin D from various plants, egg yolk and fish oil. You cannot get Vitamin D overdose from just being out in the sun but if you eat to much food that contains a lot of Vitamin D then there are problems that include rickets, bowing of you bones or severe liver disease. Vitamin D is not a fully understood Vitamin but is understood to help kill and cure the body of cancer cells.

Vitamin P or bioflavonoids are compounds found in ample amounts within plants. They serve in the defense and pigmentation of plants. Unlike many active plant compounds flavonoids have a low toxicity. Flavonoids are known for their anti-oxidant properties. And although have been called Vitamin P for ease, are not really vitamins.Flavonoids are helpful in the absorption of Vitamin C and are more potent when taken together. However flavonoids are absorbed poorly by the body, at only about 5% . Research has also shown that flavonoids are quickly metabolized by the body, as they are seen as foreign bodies. Therefore the newest belief is that the flavonoids do not act directly in the body, but that it is the bodies reaction against them that is beneficial, almost in the same way as a vaccination. Flavonoids can provide anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-cancer services.Flavonoids are found in most plants but the white membrane below citrus peel, as well as peppers, grapes, red wine, onions, garlic, blue and red berries, green tea and buckwheat are specifically high in them. There is little problem with deficiencies, interactions or overdoses with a decent diet, as flavonoids are common within our foods. In extreme causes an overdose of flavonoids can cause diarrhea.

You cannot get Vitamin D overdose from just being out in the sun but if you eat to much food that contains a lot of Vitamin D then there are problems that include rickets, bowing of you bones or severe liver disease.

Vitamin P or bioflavonoids are compounds found in ample amounts within plants. They serve in the defense and pigmentation of plants. Unlike many active plant compounds flavonoids have a low toxicity. Flavonoids are known for their anti-oxidant properties. And although have been called Vitamin P for ease, are not really vitamins.Flavonoids are helpful in the absorption of Vitamin C and are more potent when taken together. However flavonoids are absorbed poorly by the body, at only about 5% . Research has also shown that flavonoids are quickly metabolized by the body, as they are seen as foreign bodies. Therefore the newest belief is that the flavonoids do not act directly in the body, but that it is the bodies reaction against them that is beneficial, almost in the same way as a vaccination. Flavonoids can provide anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-cancer services.Flavonoids are found in most plants but the white membrane below citrus peel, as well as peppers, grapes, red wine, onions, garlic, blue and red berries, green tea and buckwheat are specifically high in them. There is little problem with deficiencies, interactions or overdoses with a decent diet, as flavonoids are common within our foods. In extreme causes an overdose of flavonoids can cause diarrhea.

9/6/2007 Today in class we discussed what we thought health was. . We also went outside and did an activity that showed us how people can complete a task differently, and helped us investigate which activity would go with what component of health. Then we also had to think about what our best experience has been in high school, and what our worst experience has been so far. What is juicing and why would you want to have juicing be part of a health lifestyle? One of the main advantages of juicing is the nutrients that it allows you to consume.
9/10/2007 The first thing that we did today in class was take a survey about habits that we do such as eating and stress and exercise. Then we shared what our number was for the answer. Then we discussed juicing, and watched a couple cheesy videos on it. Some of the things that I learned from the videos were that; when you are juicing you should keep the peel on it , and you should discard the green ones because they could be toxic. Lemons-You need to scrub, and remove the peel.. It is bitter, and it can be toxic.
9/12/07 The first thing that we did in class this morning was go online, and we took a loot at some people's blogs.. To see if they have been doing there work or not.

We also went into flikr.com and learned what we can do on there The last thing that we did today was started looking at the food pyramid.
9/17/08 Today we started juicing Mr. Cohun did the first juicing activity in front of the class so we could all see how we are supposed to do it when it is our turn. He did apple juice. After he got done juicing the apples we got to eat the thick foam on top it tasted like dirt but once we got to the juice it tasted good. Then after we got done juicing we had a couple of kids in class go over what their vitamins, fruits, and vegetables were then we got to ask questions.
