High doses of caffeine can increase muscle power and endurance, researchers from Coventry University said in a news release.

The scientists said the work could have an impact on how caffeine is used in sports.

"A small increase in performance via caffeine could mean the difference between a gold medal in the Olympics and an also-ran", said lead researcher Dr. Rob James.

Caffeine is not currently listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency as a banned substance, according to a news release on the new study. Before 2004, there was a level of caffeine athletes could not exceed.

The study tested muscle use in mice at both maximal and sub-maximal levels. Maximal is efforts such as sprinting or weight lifting; sub-maximal covers everyday activity and sports at lower intensities.

A high does of caffeine boosted performance by about 6 percent during both types of activities. Researchers said that effect could be similar in people.

The 2-year-old son of former NFL QB Randall Cunningham died on Tuesday after a woman found the child floating in a backyard hot tub.

Las Vegas police Lt. Dennis Flynn told the Las Vegas Review-Journal the death appeared to be an accident.

Cunningham was not home at the time of Christian Cunningham's death, the paper said, but was en route back to Las Vegas.

The former NFL QB is a pastor in Las Vegas. He played in the NFL for 16 season from 1985-2001.

About Mucus

Call it snot, call it mucus, call it a booger -- but don't underestimate what it does for you.

(continued)

Why Does My Mucus Change Color?

If you've ever stopped to look at the contents of the tissue after you've blown your nose, you may have noticed that your mucus isn't always perfectly clear. It may be yellow, green, or have a reddish or brownish tinge to it. What do those colors mean?

You might have heard that yellow or green mucus is a clear sign that you have an infection, but despite that common misperception, the yellow or green hue isn't due to bacteria.

When you have a cold, your immune system sends white blood cells called neutrophils rushing to the area. These cells contain a greenish-colored enzyme, and in large numbers they can turn the mucus the same color.

But "you can have perfectly clear mucus and have a terrible ear and sinus infection," Kao says. If you do have an infection, you'll likely also have other symptoms, such as congestion, fever, and pressure in your face, overlying the sinuses, Johns says.

Multi-hued mucus also relates to concentration of the mucus. Thick, gooey mucus is often greenish, Kao says.

Mucus can also contain tinges of reddish or brownish blood, especially if your nose gets dried out or irritated from too much rubbing, blowing, or picking. Most of the blood comes from the area right inside the nostril, which is where most of the blood vessels in the nose are located. A small amount of blood in your mucus isn't anything to worry about, but if you're seeing large volumes of it, call your doctor.

How Can I Get Rid of Mucus?

People with chronic sinus problems who are constantly blowing their noses understandably want the goo gone. Over-the-counter antihistamines and decongestants are one way to do this. Decongestants cause the blood vessels in the lining of the nose to narrow, reducing blood flow to the area, so you're less congested and you produce less mucus.

Decongestants are fine for when you can't breathe due to a cold, but they're not so good for thick mucus in general. "The reason is the decongestants dry you up and they make the mucus thick, and often the opposite effect happens because you feel like you have thick mucus," Johns explains. So you take more decongestants and get into a vicious mucus-producing cycle. Decongestants also have side effects, which include dizziness, nervousness, and high blood pressure.

Antihistamines block or limit the action of histamines, those substances triggered by allergic reactions that cause the tissue in the nose to swell up and release more, thinner mucus (a runny nose). The main side effect of older antihistamines is drowsiness. They also can cause dry mouth, dizziness, and headache.

You can also thin out the mucus with guaifenesin, a type of medicine called an expectorant. Thinner mucus is easier to get out of the body. Possible side effects of guaifenesin are dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting.

About Mucus

The Truth About Mucus

Call it snot, call it mucus, call it a booger -- but don't underestimate what it does for you.

Mucus is something everyone has, and some people wish they had a lot less of the stringy, gooey stuff. Sure, it can be gross to blow globs of snot into tissue after tissue when you have a cold or sinus infection, but mucus actually serves a very important purpose.

"Mucus is incredibly important for our bodies," explains Michael M. Johns, III, MD, director of the Emory Voice Center and assistant professor of otolaryngology -- head and neck surgery at Emory University. "It is the oil in the engine. Without mucus, the engine seizes."

How much mucus is normal, and how much is too much? What does its color tell you about your health? Can you just get rid of it, or at least cut down on it, and how should you do that? Here are answers.

Mucus' Mission

Mucus-producing tissue lines the mouth, nose, sinuses, throat, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. Mucus acts as a protective blanket over these surfaces, preventing the tissue underneath from drying out. "You have to keep them moist, otherwise they'll get dry and crack, and you'll have a chink in the armor," says Neil L. Kao, MD, associate professor of medicine at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine.

Mucus also acts as a sort of flypaper, trapping unwanted substances like bacteria and dust before they can get into the body -- particularly the sensitive airways. "You want to keep that environment, which is a sterile environment, free of gook," says Johns. "Mucus is kind of sticky and thick. It's got viscosity to it that will trap things."

But mucus is more than just sticky goo. It also contains antibodies that help the body recognize invaders like bacteria and viruses, enzymes that kill the invaders it traps, protein to make the mucus gooey and stringy and very inhospitable, and a variety of cells, among other things.

Why Am I Making So Much Mucus?

Even when you're healthy, your body is a mucus-making machine, churning out about 1 to 1.5 liters of the stuff every day. Most of that mucus trickles down your throat and you don't even notice it.

However, there are times when you do notice your mucus -- usually not because you're producing more of it, but because its consistency has changed.

"Typically, the mucus changes character. It gets thicker," Johns says. "When it has mass effect you feel it, and when you feel it, you want to hock." Some people just naturally have thicker, stickier mucus than others.

It generally takes a bad cold, allergy, or contact with something irritating -- like a plate of nuclear-hot Buffalo wings -- to throw your body's mucus production into overdrive.

For instance, during an allergic response to an offending trigger, such as pollen or ragweed, mast cells in your body squeeze out a substance called histamine, which triggers sneezing, itching, and nasal stuffiness. The tissue of the mucus membranes starts leaking fluid, and your nose begins to run.

Drinking milk may also make some people produce more mucus. Kao says that's due to gustatory rhinitis, a reflex reaction that's triggered by eating. Gustatory rhinitis is also why your nose runs when you eat hot peppers. Milk proteins cause the same type of response in some people. But although you may feel like you have more phlegm, you're not going to worsen a cold by drinking a glass of milk, Johns says.

Health Benefits of Green Tea

Experts explain green tea's potential benefits for everything from fighting cancer to helping your heart.

(continued)

Green Tea Straight Up

Taking weight loss supplements that contain green tea extract probably won't hurt, unless you have liver problems.

But the best way to get the most out of green tea -- even if your main goal is losing weight -- is to drink it.

"Taken altogether, the evidence certainly suggests that incorporating at least a few cups of green tea every day will positively affect your health," says Diane McKay, PhD, a Tufts University scientist who studies antioxidants. "It's not going to cure anything and it shouldn't be consumed as a drug, but it can complement the rest of the diet."
McCullough bears the same reminder: eat your fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, and nuts -- and go ahead, drink as much green tea as you want.
"I don't think it can hurt to drink it. I'd focus on dietary sources rather than supplements because there are several compounds in green tea that might need to be consumed together. We just don't know yet," she says.

Health Benefits of Green Tea

Experts explain green tea's potential benefits for everything from fighting cancer to helping your heart.

Green Tea vs. Cancer continued...

Still, it's difficult not to be intrigued by a few human studies that have shown that drinking at least two cups of green tea daily inhibits cancer growth.

One of them, a study conducted in Japan that involved nearly 500 Japanese women with Stage I and Stage II breast cancer, found that increased green tea consumption before and after surgery was associated with lower recurrence of the cancers.

Studies in China have shown that the more green tea that participants drank, the less the risk of developing stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and colorectal cancer.

Finally, a recent analysis of 22 studies that probed the correlation between high tea consumption and reduced risk for lung cancer concluded that by increasing your daily intake of green (not black) tea by two cups may reduce the risk of developing lung cancer by 18%.

Is Green Tea Good for Your Heart?

It seems to be, but there are conflicting results of a few epidemiological studies conducted in the East and West.

In a study that involved 500 Japanese men and women, researchers found that drinking at least four cups of green tea every day may be related to the reduced severity of coronary heart disease among the male participants.

A Dutch study of more than 3,000 men and women found that the more tea consumed, the less severe the clogging of the heart's blood vessels, especially in women.

As Goldberg suggests, lifestyle and overall diet are critical to the outcomes of these studies.

But green tea's antioxidants are dilators, she says, because they improve the flexibility of blood vessels and make them less vulnerable to clogging -- and antioxidant-rich blueberries and pomegranates do the same.

"I think people should know these are important studies, that everyday foods that are an option may actually have health benefits," Goldberg says. "I think green tea, because of its antioxidant value, may have heart benefits, but it's not something we regularly prescribe to people, because there isn't as much evidence as there is in exercise's ability to improve heart health."

Green Tea and Weight

Green tea and its extract have been shown to fight obesity and lower LDL "bad" cholesterol -- two risk factors for heart disease and diabetes -- but in very limited studies. One study in the Netherlands and a study in Japan showed that green tea did both.

In the Dutch study, participants who drank caffeinated green tea lost more weight, but even those who typically drank the decaf variety saw a decrease in their waistlines and body weight. Researchers speculated that the caffeine helps with fat oxidation.

In the Japanese study, 240 men and women were given varying amounts of green tea extract for three months. Those who got the highest amount lost fat and weight and had lower blood pressure and lower LDL "bad" cholesterol.

Health Benefits of Green Tea

Experts explain green tea's potential benefits for everything from fighting cancer to helping your heart.

It's difficult not to gush about green tea.

More than a decade's worth of research about green tea's health benefits -- particularly its potential to fight cancer and heart disease -- has been more than intriguing, as have limited studies about green tea's role in lowering cholesterol, burning fat, preventing diabetes and stroke, and staving off dementia.

"I believe in green tea based on everything written about it," says Katherine Tallmadge, RD, LD, a nutritionist and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. "Green tea, white tea, black tea -- I like all of them."

Still, real-world evidence is lacking; most of the consistent findings about green tea's health benefits have come out of the lab.

The few large-scale human studies that have focused on green tea's impact on heart disease and cancer are promising, but many of those were conducted in the East, where green tea is a dietary mainstay. The outcomes are likely influenced by other lifestyle factors such as high consumption of fish and soy protein, says cardiologist Nieca Goldberg, MD, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association and medical director of the New York University Women's Heart Center.

But Goldberg agrees with other health professionals: green tea has important antioxidants and compounds that help in maintaining good health.

Green Tea's Powerful Antioxidants

Green tea's antioxidants, called catechins, scavenge for free radicals that can damage DNA and contribute to cancer, blood clots, and atherosclerosis. Grapes and berries, red wine, and dark chocolate also have potent antioxidants.
Because of green tea's minimal processing -- its leaves are withered and steamed, not fermented like black and oolong teas -- green tea's unique catechins, especially epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), are more concentrated.
But there's still a question of how much green tea you need to drink to reap its health benefits. EGCG is not readily "available" to the body; in other words, EGCG is not always fully used by the body.
"We must overcome the issue of poor bioavailability [and other issues] in order to get the most out of their benefits," says Tak-Hang Chan, PhD, professor emeritus in the department of chemistry at McGill University in Montreal. Chan has studied the use of a synthetic form of EGCG in shrinking prostate cancer tumors in mice, with success.

Green Tea vs. Cancer

Marji McCullough, ScD, RD, the American Cancer Society's strategic director of nutritional epidemiology, says human studies haven't yet proven what researchers like Chan have discovered in the lab: green tea's EGCG regulates and inhibits cancer growth and kills cells that are growing inappropriately.
"Epidemiologically, one of the challenges is finding populations that drink enough green tea and have for a long time," she says. "With cancer, it's always difficult to find the exposure time," or the point at which cancer cells begin to develop.

Diabetic Diet: Main Source Of Colossal Blood Sugar Levels

Diabetics can easily get high blood sugar levels so they need to consistently monitor their diabetic diet. Monitoring everything they do becomes part of their daily lives because they need to keep their blood sugar levels steady. There are certain things diabetics can do to keep a blood sugar spike from happening to them.

One cause for diabetics getting high blood sugar levels is the fact they do not take their medications on time nor take the correct amounts. Whether it be insulin or pills, all diabetics need to take their medications on a regular basis and when they are suppose to as these medications help your body carry the sugar in your bloodstream into your cells. Without taking the medication, the sugar to builds up your system which will cause damage to your organs.

One more reason for the sugar in the blood to skyrocket is your meals. Diabetics need to unfailingly monitor their diabetic diet by making sure they watch how much they eat, what they eat, and when they eat. One way to do this is to break up your 3 big daily meals into 5 small meals. This way it is easier on your body to process the sugar and it can maintain balanced blood sugar levels.

Another area of great concern is exercise. Exercise is a great source to get and stay healthy for anyone on a diabetic diet because it helps you get into shape, loose a few pounds, and it burns off extra unwanted sugar. It burns off the sugar in your body by first going to your blood stream and using any sugar found there. This is why it is vital for diabetics to exercise.

One other way people get high blood sugar levels is when they get sick or get too stressed out. The reason for this is because when people get sick or stressed, they release a hormone that drastically increases the sugar that is in your bloodstream. This can easily be counter-acted by relaxing and making sure you drink a lot of water.

One more cause is by taking other medications with your diabetic medication. Other medications potentially create a conflict which will cancel out the effect that your diabetic medication has on your blood sugar levels. You should consult your doctor to make sure that none of your other medications will conflict with your diabetic medication.

Maintaining a normal level of blood sugar on a diabetic diet is the most important thing you can do for your health. If your blood sugar spikes once, it is not a cause for alarm as this happens from time to time. If your blood sugar spikes consistently, then there is usually a problem. If this happens, just consult your doctor so he or she can help you get your blood sugar levels back under control.

Knowing how to manage your diabetic diet will help keep you healthy and will help your blood sugar levels remain normal. You should take your diabetic medicine and make sure it does not conflict with any other medicines. You also need to eat smaller meals and exercise every day. Make sure you avoid getting sick or stressed as much as possible. By doing all these things you will be able to maintain a steady blood sugar on a daily basis.

NaturalNews: How to reverse type-2 diabetes

NaturalNews Insider Alert (www.NaturalNews.com)
Online reports / book announcements
(Unsubscribe instructions at bottom)
---------------------------------------------------------------

Dear readers,

There really is a way to reverse type 2 diabetes. I'm not talking
about just masking symptoms or controlling blood sugar, I'm talking
about an outright cure.

Let me share a personal story with you. Today I'm called the Health
Ranger, but I used to be borderline diabetic. I was overweight,
depressed and hypoglycemic. But by using the same nutritional and
lifestyle strategies I'm describing right here, I was able to lose 50
pounds of body fat, end my depression and stabilize my blood sugar.
Now I've been declared in a state of "perfect health" by my
naturopathic physician. Want to see the results for yourself? My
pictures and lab-certified blood chemistry statistics are publicly
posted at:
http://www.HealthRanger.org

Although beating diabetes can seem hard, it's actually quite
straightforward (and far simpler than your doctor even realizes,
probably). In fact, a new study led by Christian Roberts of the
University of California, Los Angeles showed that Type 2 diabetes can
be REVERSED IN THREE WEEKS solely through lifestyle changes. An
astonishing 50% of study participants were declared completely free of
diabetes after completing the 3-week program!

That study shocked most doctors, but it didn't surprise me at all.
Long before that study had even begun, I had already written what has
now become our most popular health guide ever: "How to Halt Diabetes
in 25 Days," available now at:
http://www.truthpublishing.com/HaltDiabetes.html

This downloadable guide reveals, in plain language, how to halt and
even REVERSE type 2 diabetes using simple-to-follow strategies that
you'll never learn from practitioners of conventional medicine.

Here's some of what's covered in, "How to Halt Diabetes in 25 Days"

* What foods cause diabetes?

In "How to Halt Diabetes in 25 Days" I explain why most commercially
prepared foods contain diabetes-causing ingredients, which ones are
the worst, and how to avoid them. TIP: Did you know that white flour
contains a diabetes-promoting contaminant called alloxan?

* Can I treat diabetes without drugs?

Absolutely! In this guide, I've included the studies that prove
nutrition and exercise can CURE diabetes. I also show you how to
incorporate powerful, disease-fighting foods into every meal. TIP: Few
people know which foods actually stabilize your blood sugar swings. I
reveal them all.

* If nutrition makes such a difference, why aren't diabetes
organizations doing more to promote it?

"How to Halt Diabetes in 25 Days" reveals how these so-called
"disease groups" are more interested in managing diabetes (i.e.
keeping patients sick) than actually curing it. I also expose the
financial conflicts of interest and show that diabetes groups accept
millions of dollars each year from pharmaceutical companies that sell
insulin. One group took millions from the world's third-largest
manufacturer of candy!

* I've heard that diabetes can be linked to other diseases is this
true?

The same harmful ingredients that cause diabetes contribute to other
diseases such as cancer, heart disease, depression, and arthritis.
They also increase your risk for gallstones, appendicitis, periodontal
diseases, and accelerated aging among others. In this guide, I reveal
how my "halt diabetes" plan also helps prevent these other major
degenerative diseases.

These are only a few of the topics covered in "How to Halt Diabetes
in 25 Days." The guide also reveals:

* How simple food changes have eliminated insulin injections for 70%
of diabetics.

* The shocking truth of why half of all limb amputations in America
are caused by diabetes.

* The 78 destructive metabolic consequences of eating sugar.

* Why diabetes is really a metabolic disorder, not a disease, and how
it can be halted in 25 days or less.

* How to get off insulin for the rest of your life.

* The one trace mineral that's almost always missing from the diets
of diabetics, and where you can find it.

... and much more.

If you're currently suffering from type 2 diabetes or other blood
sugar disorders (like hypoglycemia or hyperinsulinemia) this guide
could be the single most important health resource you'll ever
discover. These diabetes secrets saved me, I believe, from life as a
diabetic. They may hold great potential for helping you as well.

Imagine a life without insulin shots and without bleeding your
fingertips every day just to monitor your blood glucose level. Imagine
having healthy vision (diabetes often causes vision loss) and legs
that stay attached (amputations are far too common!). Imagine not
having to spend a fortune on insulin, diabetes drugs, and diabetic
supplies. I believe you can make that vision a reality by empowering
yourself with these secrets to curing type 2 diabetes.

To your health,
- Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
