Twenty reasons why porridge is the ultimate health food……..
(I’m not sure why reason # 1 is at the top of this list. #20 comes first with me at my age! Alas, a cup of tea is more appealing when I first wake up in the morning. Then I’m wide awake so bound out of bed to prepare and enjoy my porridge)

1. IMPROVES SEX LIFE
Porridge oats can boost libido by helping to re-balance testosterone and oestrogen in the body. Testosterone drives sexual desire in both sexes. Men with low testosterone levels go off sex.
2. GOOD FOR HANGOVERS
Oats neutralise acidity levels in the body and help absorb toxins. Since a hangover is the result of the "poisonous" effects of alcohol, a bowl of porridge might help relieve the symptoms.
Porridge also contains one of the highest levels of soluble fibre of any cereal. Soluble fibre is essential for healthy digestion. Since alcohol depletes sugar levels, the slow-releasing carbohydrates in porridge help redress this.
3. HELPS QUIT SMOKING
Compounds in oats can help calm the nervous system and reduce the craving for nicotine.
4. HEALS THE SKIN
Bathing in oat-based solutions can help problem skin. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the anti-inflammatory compounds in porridge oats can help conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Fill a sock or stocking with porridge oats and place in water for 20 minutes while bathing.
5. FIGHTS INFECTION
Of all the cereals, porridge has the best proportion of protein needed for growth and repair in the body and to help boost the immune system.
6. FIGHTS HEART DISEASE
Many studies have shown that eating fibre-rich food such as porridge reduces the risk of heart disease. But scientists in the U.S. found that porridge contains avenanthramides – chemicals that stop blood cells sticking to artery walls, preventing the fatty deposits that cause heart disease.
7. REDUCES DIABETES RISK SLOWLY
Digested foods such as porridge might cut the risk of developing non-insulin dependent diabetes by absorbing sugar from the gut and cutting the need for large quantities of insulin to be released.
8. HELPS CONCENTRATION
The slow releasing complex carbohydrates in oats sustain energy levels, allowing full concentration to be maintained. Complex carbohydrates also stabilise and raise blood sugar levels.
9. BEATS DEPRESSION
Porridge is high in Vitamin B6, which promotes the brain chemical serotonin. High levels of serotonin are associated with feelings of well-being and also aid relaxation and restful sleep. Levels of serotonin dip when sunlight is limited – i.e. during winter – and can lead to the depressive condition Seasonal Affective Disorder.
10. BOOTS ENERGY
Porridge oats are high in complex carbohydrates and soluble fibre, which means they release energy slowly. A bowl of porridge should provide all the energy you need until lunchtime.
11. CUTS CHILDHOOD OBESITY
A study of 10,000 children by researchers at New York’s Columbia University found that among those who regularly ate whole-oat products, the proportion of overweight children almost halved.
Researchers at Oxford Brookes University also found that those eating foods with a low glycaemic index (GI), such as porridge, were less likely to binge on sugary snacks. Foods with a low GI rating release glucose into the body more slowly and evenly, leaving you feeling fuller for longer.
12. LOWERS CHOLESTEROL
Porridge is rich in soluble fibre, which has been shown to lower blood cholesterol. High cholesterol occurs when fat builds up and constricts the arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart. Eating oats can improve blood flow and bind to cholesterol in the gut, aiding its removal from the body. Scientists think the cholesterol-lowering effects of oats are due to the oat soluble fibre beta-glucan.
13. PREVENTS CONSTIPATION
High-fibre foods such as porridge increase the movement of food through the digestive tract.
This increased bowel action provides a good environment for beneficial bacteria in the gut to ferment while decreasing levels of destructive bacteria.
14. FIGHTS OSTEOPOROSIS
Porridge oats are blended with milk, making an excellent source of calcium which is essential for bone health. Lack of calcium can lead to osteoporosis, which involves a loss of bone density and can make bones fragile.
15. CAN HELP DIETING
Porridge oats are 100 per cent natural, with no added sugar, salt or additives, and are naturally low in calories. An average bowl of porridge made with water contains 171 calories.
16. GOOD FOR PREGNANT WOMEN
Porridge is a source of folic acid. Studies have shown that taking folic acid from before conception until the 12th week of pregnancy can reduce the chances of having a baby with spina bifida. Pregnant women need 400mcg of folic acid a day.
17. FIGHTS CANCER
Oats are rich in the antioxidant vitamin E, which protects the body from the damaging free radicals that can cause cancer. A diet high in soluble fibre foods such as porridge oats might also help reduce the chances of developing bowel, colon and breast cancer.
18. CONTAINS ESSENTIAL MINERALS
Porridge is a good source of manganese, which is essential in allowing the body to produce energy as well as helping to build bones and connective tissue. It also contains zinc, which is needed for normal growth, sexual development and reproduction, and a healthy immune system.
19. REDUCES BLOOD PRESSURE
A daily serving of oats can improve blood pressure control and reduce the need for anti-hypertensive medication, according to U.S. researchers – 73 per cent of those fed a wholegrain oat-based cereal (containing 3g of soluble fibre) stopped or reduced their blood pressure medication by half.
20. COULD HELP LONG LIFE
Britain’s longest living man, David Henderson, from Montrose, Scotland, who died in 1998 at 109, attributed his age and good health to a daily bowl of porridge. This could be because the lipids present in oats contain a good balance of essential fatty acids which have been linked to longevity and general good health.

Army Reserve Nurse Delivers Baby in Rural Uganda – United States Army Africa – Natural Fire 10 – AFRICOM

Full Story:

Army Reserve Nurse Delivers Baby in Rural Uganda

By Maj.Corey Schultz, U.S. Army Reserve Command

KITGUM, Uganda — When 1st Lt. Victoria Lynn Watson deployed to Uganda for Natural Fire 10, she never imagined using her labor and delivery nursing skills during the exercise.

But when a Ugandan woman, Linda, arrived in labor at Pajimo medical clinic, where the Army Reserve’s 7225th Medical Support Unit was partnering with East African medics to offer healthcare to the Kitgum community, Watson sprang into action.

She checked her watch. It was nearly 2:30 pm when medics hurried the 19-year-old expectant mother from the clinic gates where hundreds had gathered to receive care.

During the 10-day exercise, the medics run a daily clinic to treat upwards of 700 Ugandans a day for ailments such as arthritis, minor wounds, skin infections –and dental and optometry care. Soldiers from Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya and Burundi are working alongside U.S. troops on medical, dental and engineering projects in the Kitgum region. Meanwhile, each nation is also taking part in security training and a simulated disaster relief exercise.

While pregnancy was not a planned treatment, the Pajimo clinic staffs a midwife and Watson was eager to assist. If the U.S. Army Reserve officer were back home in Abilene, Texas, she would do the same.

"This is what I do. I’m a labor and delivery nurse in my civilian job," Watson said, hurrying past Ugandan families clutching medicines and awaiting dental checks, "This is what I live for."

Watson serves with the 7231st Medical Support Unit in Lubbock, Texas, but volunteered to augment the 7225th for Uganda.

Once in the clinics maternity ward, Watson and Pfc. Kendra Hinds, a U.S. Army Reserve medic from Lubbock, Texas, joined Stella, the Ugandan midwife. Stella asked the lieutenant to work with her to deliver the child.

Stella and her Ugandan assistant prepared the delivery room. Watson’s examined the woman – nine centimeters and having contractions. Her watch read 3 p.m.

Hinds never helped a woman give birth. So, Watson talked her through the exam as they felt the mother’s stomach to see where the baby was.

"You can feel the contractions," Watson said to Hines. "Her sides and belly get hard. Feel here…that’s the head. It’s in the right place, that’s good. The baby is aligned right."

The midwife, Stella Betty Lamono – who goes by Stella, produced a Pinnard Horn – a wooden listening device not often seen in America that is used to hear the baby’s heartbeat. Watson and Hinds took turns listening.

Then Stella posed a question.

"You are delivering," Stella said. "You should name the baby."

"OK, I’ll name the baby," Watson said, in a light-hearted way. "How about, let’s see…Gracie for a girl? Yes, I like Gracie."

"And a boy?" asked Stella.

"Okay, for a boy…Cage. I like Cage."

Stella translated. The mother smiled, amused despite her obvious discomfort. It was nearly 3:30 p.m., the baby was coming but the delivery team still had things to do. They tried to start an intravenous drip.

There was a problem, they couldn’t find a vein. They spoke with the mother and found she had not eaten anything for two days.

"She’s dehydrated, she needs something with sugar," Watson said.

Soldiers offered sweet powdered drink pack from their daily rations – MRE’s, such as lemon-flavored ice tea and a lemon-lime electrolyte drinks.

Watson stirred each drink in a green plastic cup and gave it to the mother, who drank thirstily.

The team then found a vein for an IV, the mother tried to relax. From time to time, she would lift a pink curtain and gaze through the window into the dusty yard. Things quieted.

Meanwhile, her sister arranged swaddling clothes on the receiving table at the other side of the room.

"How many weeks is she?" Hinds asked.

"Thirty-eight," Stella said, confidently.

Ugandan midwives determine the duration of the pregnancy by feeling the stomach for the size of the baby’s head versus the height of the fundus — how high the uterus has pressed upwards into the diaphragm.

"This is amazing," Watson said. "In the States, doctors run a sonogram over the belly, ask for the date of the last menstrual period, and go from there. We learn the ‘old school’ way, but we never actually do it like Stella has."

Certified Ugandan midwifes attend a three-year school, Stella said, herself a midwife with seven years experience who delivers up to 28 babies each month — often in rural clinics.

The contractions continued. The mother remained stoic despite the lack of any pain medicine. Sweat beaded on her face, veins throbbed along her neck. She would lay calm more moments, the moan softly and slap the nearby wall. Hinds grabbed a cloth and patted her face and held her hands through contractions.

"Most girls in the States would be yelling and hollering by now," Watson said.

Unlike in the States, the clinic had no monitors, electrical gadgetry or air conditioning. It did have clean water, sterilized equipment and a trained midwife, plus her U.S. counterparts.

It was around 4 p.m., when the mother groaned and slapped the wall again.

"She’s in second stage," Watson said. "All she has to do now is push."

A few minutes passed, the mother began to push – Hinds held her hand and continued to comfort her. Then came a loud cry from a healthy baby boy. It was 4:30 p.m.

Watson wiped him down. He waved his tiny hands and stared around the room with large, alert eyes. Stella tied up the stump of the umbilical cord

"You delivered the baby, what name did you pick for a baby boy,” Stella said, reminding Watson.

“Cage," Watson replied. "But I can’t name her baby. It’s her baby!"

Hinds placed the infant into his mother’s arms. The new mom smiled.

"What is she going to name him?" Watson asked. Stella translated. The mother answered –and Stella began to laugh.

"What did she say?" Watson asked.

"She decided she liked the name you picked," Stella said. "She named her little boy ‘Cage’."

Outside, U.S. and East African medics were closing up for the day, handing out the final doses of vitamins and routine medications, when they learned the good news. An officer took out the records reflecting the number of people treated, changing 714 to 715, to add Cage – Kitgum’s newest resident.

"It’s pretty amazing there’s a little one out here that I named and that I helped bring into this world," Watson said. "Pretty amazing."

Question–: does my 7 month old need to take baby vitamins?
my doctor recently prescribed baby vitamins for my 7 month old at her 6 month check up. He said they were supposed to be to help her get teeth. However she is a very healthy baby and is gaining weight great for her age. Also she has been getting teeth fine on her own without the vitamins. I tried giving them to her and they make her terribly constipated. I was just wondering if all parents give there babies these vitamins or if it is ok to skip them.

The following is the answer: (Hint: The reader is not the correct identification.)

Answer by jennalu
of course not -increase her intake of calcium rich foods (and the family’s too) will be perfect. a healthy balanced diet is more important than any supplement. avoid cow’s milk products & increase her intake of water and probiotics. have the dentist reassure you about her tooth growth.

Answer by Nothing But Time
My doctor told me if I was breast feeding ot give my baby vitamins but since she’s on formula now that it’s okay because the formula has all the nutrients she needs….so if your doctore gave them to you then I’d probably listen to my doctor.

Answer by tanner
I was told to give my children the liquid vitamins.
Because my 1 yr old drank a lot of milk & the doc worried about him becomming anemic (he was formula fed). And with my 2nd & 3rd child they were given breast milk, the doc said they needed vitamin D (it was winter so they didn’t get any sun) & iron (although their iron levels weren’t low) so at around 6 mos he suggested I give them the liquid vitamins.

Answer by Maria
You don’t have to give babies vitamins, my daughter only took vit.D when she was exclusively breastfed, other then that, if the baby is healthy they don’t need supplementation. Especially if they are not agreeing with her. I am against giving babies any medications or vitamins if they are not absolutely essential to their health.

Answer by Tiffany
I have never heard of this!? I have a 3 year old and a 19 month old and they never took baby vitamins. I would normally say “trust your doctor” but, my oldest didn’t have ANY teeth yet at a year, and my doctor wasn’t concerned in the least. When I asked, his response was “They’ll come when they come. I’ve never had a child yet that didn’t get teeth. They’ll come.” He was right. She has a whole mouthful of healthy pearly whites now! Teeth seems like a really weird reason for giving vitamins. I’d think it sounded fine if he said he was worried about an iron deficiency or a lack of some other vitamin/mineral….but TEETH?! I think I’d ask another doctor. My children had constipation issues. That is a problem you do NOT want to start with. It can be very difficult for a baby and cause a chain reaction of lots of other issues. I wouldn’t be happy about that side effect, if the vitamins aren’t necessary. Ask him more questions.
