=> ASK LENA Q & A EDITION!
============================

Today will be spent packing and doing last minute things to get ready for my trip to Hawaii Wednesday, so if you call or email and I don't get back to you immediately you will know why! Next Ask Lena Health Q & A will be on May 3.

Steve's Motivator today is a true lesson in life, so enjoy!

Your health questions are being answered to the best of my ability using what I gleaned from 20-years as a Medical Office Nurse and Administrator along with my education in nutritional and alternative modes. I am not a doctor and you should not think of me as one.

Q & A is for your information and education only and in some instances to give you a different perspective on a particular problem! 

My wish for you, in the use of the information gained here, is that you will apply it in a smart and safe manner in order to enhance your life and not harm it! Not to be used in place of your judgment but in  addition to...

I have always felt that I had to know all sides to a problem and then make a decision for myself and I hope that will be your attitude as well! 

IF YOU HAVE A HEALTH QUESTION

Be sure to give at least your first name, if it is a question you want answered in person feel free to give me a call at 928-636-9425

Thank you for your confidence and inquisitiveness!

QUESTION:
 
Lena I'm hoping you have a solution for me! My 2 year old son had an ear infection two months ago and had antibiotics now the ear is fine, but he has had runny diarrhea ever since.  Went back to the doctor a couple of times, who has had him on a BRAT diet. Without actually saying it, she keeps insinuating that I am feeding him foods that cause the diarrhea. I truly have stuck to the BRAT diet even though he begs for other foods. HELP!
 
Jean,
 
ANSWER:
 
I emailed this mom immediately, but think the answer needs to be published since this still continues to happens so often and I continue to receive the same question! Even in this so-called enlightened time of medicine more often than not the same old treatments, that do not work, continue to be prescribed.
 
For those who do not know what the BRAT diet is; BRAT stands for the first initials of its ingredients -- Bananas, Rice, Applesauce or apple juice and Toast.  This diet is dangerous if continued more than 24 hours. It restricts the child?s body from badly needed minerals and nutrients to strengthen the immune system and nourish the body, which can aggravate the problem!
 
This same problem is happening all over the country simply because doctors do not know anything other than medicating. I ran across this multiple times in the pediatric office but I passed on the following information to the patients, (without the doctors knowledge most times) hence the beginning of the Dr. Lena nickname.
 
Understanding Diarrhea!
 
When your son took the antibiotic his intestinal system was suppressed and killed. By that I mean the natural bacteria or flora that is absolutely necessary for health was decimated.  Read Your Ecosystem  Diarrhea can be corrected in most instances by replacing that ecosystem balance.
 
First step to getting the diarrhea madness under control is to stop the BRAT diet!  Second, give the child 8 ounces of Acidophilus Milk or chewable ProBiotic Tablets. You will find relief within 12 to 24 hours and sometimes with in 2 hours.
 
Let me know the outcome!
Lena

A FORMULA FOR A SUCCESSFUL LIFE

I have a friend who is a CPA. He lamented with me once about some of his wealthier clients ? those with six and seven figure incomes. Some of these people, he said, even despite the obvious tax benefits, refused to give any of their money away. Some are spending more money on grooming their pets than on feeding hungry children. They simply have not discovered the importance and power of giving. And sadly, these wealthier clients are in a position to do something significant, but they choose to do nothing at all.

Author Kent Nerburn wrote a book titled LETTERS TO MY SON: A Father's Wisdom on Manhood, Life, and Love. In one letter, he teaches his son the value of generosity:

    "Remember to be gentle with yourself and others.
    We are all children of chance, and none can say why
    some fields will blossom and others lay brown beneath
    the August sun. Care for those around you. Look past
    your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours,
    their choices in life no more easily made. And give.
    Give in any way that you can, of whatever you possess.
    To give is to love. To withhold is to wither. Care less
    for your harvest than how it is shared, and your life will
    have meaning and your heart will have peace."

How fortunate for one boy that his father is showing him how to truly live!

People who live well are experts at giving. They give their money;
they give their time. They share their wisdom and their skills. They
quickly say yes when asked to help.

For them, the formula is simple: to give is to love and to love is to
live. It's a formula for a successful life.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================

A conquering hero of greens, Kale!

It is often used to decorate produce cases at the grocery store. But a steamed up batch is building health for you and your family. In some parts of the world this great green food is coming on the scene in huge proportions. Make the most of it and be healthy!

This delicious member of the brassica family is full of nutrition;
Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin,Pantothenic acid, Vitamin B-6, Folate, Folic acid, Folate, Vitamin B-12. Vitamin A, Retinol, Vitamin A and Vitamin E along with minerals such as Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus,Potassium,Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, and Selenium. Along with important Amino Acids such as; Tryptophan, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Cystine, Phenylalanine , Tyrosine, Valine, Arginine, Histidine, Alanine, Aspartic acid, Glutamic acid, Glycine, Proline and Serine.

Kale is one of the best vegetables you can eat as preventative medicine. It is touted to help prevent several types of cancer, in particular lung cancer. Kale contains more carotenoids (anticancer agents) than just about any other green vegetable.

You will want to eat kale both raw and cooked. Some of the carotenoids are destroyed during heat, but cooking but at the same time makes more carotene available for bodily use.

An extra half cup of kale a day will give you cancer-blocking benefits. And smokers, you need to load up on kale. It will boost your resistance to developing smoking-related cancers.

Here is a suggested Kale recipe;

My favorite way of eating Kale is Sauteed in Olive Oil

Rinse and dry one bunch of kale and chop into bite size pieces. Chop a couple of green onions. Finely chop 2 cloves of garlic. Put one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil into a saute pan heated on medium low. Throw in kale, onion and garlic and saute until wilted. Season with sea salt and squeeze on a little fresh lemon juice or seasoned Rice Vinegar.

Enjoy your green food and expect great health!
Lena
