12/7/11 - I found that eating salt and
pepper cashews helps me recover from
physicallydemanding tasks, but I also found
that thecorners of my mouth felt as if I was
going to get a cold sore. So, I researched
cashews, arginine and cold sores.
Historically, in ancient Rome, an epidemic of cold sores prompted
Emperor Tiberius to ban kissing in public ceremonies, or so says
usa.gov in an article on fever blisters, also known as cold sores.
While emotional stress, fever, injury and sometimes even
sunlight can trigger an outbreak, so can eating foods high in
arginine, which for me include corn and cashews. Nuts as a
whole, as well as grains are high in arginine.
But yogurt and cheeses like Swiss, Gruyere, Edam, American -
in fact all cheeses, even Brie -counteract the arginine as a
result of having a high lysine content. Cheese has arginine in it,
but it has almost three times as much lysine. If you look at the
list at left of amino acids in cashews, you will see that in them
the ratio is the opposite: three times as much arginine as lysine.

Office Depot paper is great!
I love having it delivered and
carried in for me.

These pretzels are dynamite!!!!
Satisfying!!! They don't make me
want to eat them all... When I
order paper, envelopes, and pens I
order more of these... and
BONUS... I'm losing weight!

Look at the benefits of nuts:
Walnuts contain a full complement of
vitamins, including B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and
folic acid. They also contain a wealth of
minerals, such as iron, magnesium,
potassium, and zinc.
Pecans help inhibit unwanted oxidation
of blood lipids, thus helping prevent
coronary heart disease -- pecans are
among the foods with the highest
antioxidant capacity, 1 oz. contains 2
grams protein, 98 mg potassium, 73 mg
phosphorus, 9 mg calcium, .5 mg iron, 1.4
mg zinc, 32 IU Vitaming A, plus C, E, B1,
B2, B3, B6, folate, panotenic, and 2
grams fiber.
Cashews are mildly anti-inflamatory;
contain an excellent array of protein
amino acids as well as vitamins C, E, K,
thiamain, niacin, B6, folate, pantothenic,
and numerouis minerals.
Brazil nuts have 2,500 times the
selenium of any other nut. Selenium is a
powerful antioxidant proven to protect
against heart disease and cancers like
prostate cancer. Selenium also
discourages ageing and stimulates the
immune system, boosts mood and mental
performance. Plus, there are other
minerals and vitamins.
Peanuts, high in monounsaturated fat,
lower the incidence of heart disease.
Filberts' concentrated protein make
them excellent for weight reduction.

This is my new favorite way to

but fast and excellent.

Reported that Texas AgriLife
research scientists have discovered
that arginine, an amino acid, reduces
fat mass in diet-induced obese rats
and could help fight human obesity
according to findings published
recently in the Journal of Nutrition.
Lab experiments showed that rats
given arginine supplementation over 12
weeks had a decrease in body fat gains
of 63 percent in rats fed high-fat
diets and 65 percent in rats fed
low-fat diets. Neither group of rats
showed any long term adverse effects.
Some foods containing arginine are:
seafood, watermelon juice, nuts, seeds,
algae, meats, rice protein concentrate
and soy protein isolate.
From the research it appears that
arginine increases lean tissue growth.
For instance, it was found that pigs
given dietary arginine supplementation
reduced fat accretion but increased
muscle gain.
The research also indicated that
dietary arginine reduced serum
concentrations of "branched-chain
amino acids," which would be an
important metabolic change because
elevated concentrations of
branched-chain amino acids appear to
lead to insulin resistance in obesity.
Finally, arginine appears to stimulate
muscle protein synthesis, a biochemical
process that requires large amounts of
energy, according to Wu. It appears
that dietary energy in the presence of
arginine is used for lean tissue gain
rather than fat gain.

I used the Office Depot money
saving link to buy paper, envelopes, a
postal scale, stapler, and tape. It's
great. Plus, the free delivery is
Wonderful.
As an aside, an inverted paint tray
makes a great dust cover.
