Chronic Or Continuous Fatigue Fatigue refers to a feeling of tiredness or weariness. It can be temporary or chronic. Almost every person has to work overtime on certain occasions, sacrificing rest and sleep, which may cause temporary fatigue. This condition can be remedied by adequate rest. Chronic or continuous fatigue is, however, a serious problem which requires a comprehensive plan of treatment. Chronic fatigue can result from a variety of factors. A specific character trait, compulsiveness, can lead to continuous fatigue. Many persons constantly feel that they cannot take rest until they finish everything that needs to be done at one time. These persons are usually perfectionists, tense and cannot relax unless they complete the whole job, no matter how tired they may be. Causes The chief cause of fatigue is lowered vitality or lack of energy due to wrong feeding habits. Fatigue is an indication that the cells of the body are not getting sufficient live atoms in the food to furnish them with a constant flow of needed energy. The habitual use of refined foods such as white sugar, refined cereals and white four products as well as processed, tinned and preserved foods have a very bad effect on the system in general. Foods 'denatured' in this way are deprived, to a very great extent, of their invaluable vitamins and minerals. Such foods lead to nervousness, tiredness, obesity and a host of other complaints prevalent today. Certain physical conditions can cause fatigue. Anaemia is a very common ailment leading to tiredness. It is known as 'tired blood' disturbance. In anaemia, very little oxygen reaches the tissues with the result energy cannot be produced normally. This causes constant tiredness and mental depression. Anaemia usually results from deficiencies of iron and vitamin B12. Sometime deficiencies of vitamin B6 and folic acid are also involved. Insomnia or lack of sleep can be a cause of torturing fatigue. Sleep induced by sleeping pills and other drugs does not banish fatigue. Intestinal parasites can also lead to fatigue as they rob the body of good nourishment and gorge themselves on rich red blood. Other ailments which can cause fatigue are low blood pressure, low blood sugar, any kind of infection in the body, liver damage, a sluggish thyroid and allergy in foods and drugs caused by additives including artificial flavours, colours and preservatives. Mental tension is one of the major causes of fatigue. A person who is tense and cannot relax has all the muscles of his body more or less contracted. This leads to needless waste of unusually large amounts of energy. Food is continuously burnt, lactic acid accumulates more rapidly than it can be carried to liver for conversion to body starch. Persons who are high-strung, nervous and irritable usually suffer from this type of fatigue. Treatment Nutritional measures are most vital in the treatment of fatigue. Studies reveal that people who eat small mid-meals suffer less from fatigue and nervousness, think more clearly and are more efficient than those who eat only three meals daily. These mid-meals should consist of fresh or dried fruits, fresh fruit or vegetable juices, raw vegetables or small sandwich of whole grain bread. The mid-meal should be small and less food should be consumed at regular meals. They should be taken at specified time

Are You Setting Limits For Your Teen? By Firoj Kahn<br><br>Most teens claim not to want limits, but, deep down, they really do. Parents need to decide and agree upon the limits that are absolute - what they expect their teenager to do or not to do - and make these very clear to the teen, with an understanding of what the consequences will be if these limits are not respected.

such as 11 a.m. , 4 p.m. and before retiring to bed. The patient should eat health foods which supply energy to the body. Charles De Coti Marsh of London in his book 'Prescription for Energy' prescribes foods to relieve fatigue and gain energy. He says, " Regenerating must begin with foods..... They must be taken in their natural state. These cereals are corn seeds, wheat seeds, rye seeds, maize seeds, barley seeds and oat seeds. They must be freshly milled. In uncooked cereals, we do have one perfect food for perfect health which contains essential vitamins and energy creators." In addition to cereal seeds, Marsh recommends fresh raw nuts taken directly from the shell and root vegetables. He says, "Any seed or root vegetable that will grow again will renew human vitality." The patient should take an optimum diet made up of (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables, and (iii) fruits. Roughly, each food group should supply the bulk of one of the three meals. Sprouting is an excellent way to eat seeds, beans and grains in raw form. Sprouting increases the nutritional value of foods and many new vitamins are created or multiplied in seeds during sprouting. The patient should supplement the three health-building food groups with special protective foods such as milk, high quality cold-pressed unrefined vegetable oil and honey. The patient should also take natural vitamin and mineral supplements as an effective assurance against nutritional deficiencies, as such deficiencies have been found to be a factor in fatigue. Lack of pantothenic acid, B vitamin in particular, leads to extreme fatigue as deficiency of this vitamin is associated with exhaustion of the adrenal glands. In fact the entire B-complex protect nerves and increases energy by helping to nourish and regulate glands. The vegetarian foods rich in vitamin B are wheat and other whole grain cereals, green leafy vegetables, rice polishing, milk, nuts, banana, yeast, pulses and peas. Minerals are also important. Potassium is especially needed for protection against fatigue. Raw green vegetables are rich in this mineral. Calcium is essential for relaxation and is beneficial in cases of insomnia and tension both of which can lead to fatigue. Sodium and zinc are also beneficial in the treatment of fatigue. Raw vegetable juices, especially carrot juice, taken seperately or in combination with juices of beets and cucumbers, is highly valuable in overcoming fatigue. The formula proportions considered helpful in the combination juice of 500 ml. are carrot 300 ml. and beet and cucumber 100 ml. each. The patient should avoid depending for an energy lift, on crutches such as taking aspirin, tranquilizers and other drugs, drinking or alcohol, smoking , eating some sugar or sweets. They give only a temporary boost and this is soon followed by a downward plunge of energy, leaving a person worse than before.

]]> Host Rule #1 -- reinforced I'll never forget those ghastly, ghostly jellyfish-looking gnocchi I was served at a dinner long ago, nor the twitching faces of all the guests pretending that this wasn't a horrible, horrible meal.
I'm getting ready for the deep-fried turkey on saturday. The dishes are reasonably straightforward. I am trying to figure out some clever way to to serve the balance of the crayfish I'd frozen up as leftover from the last party.
I took the day off, tested some recipes, and reminded myself the Host Rule #1 should never be violated.
]]> Bayou Christmas Party Whew! It's over!]]> Bayou Christmas Preparation Just back from Tokyo late Saturday night. Only seven days till I hold my Bayou Christmas celebration for twenty guests. It will be a tight schedule for the week, if I procrastinate until Saturday (party Sunday noon) I'll be dead meat. Today I practiced some new recipes and refined some old ones.]]> What the hell just happened to me? Thinking about dinner today, my initial plan was another round of pizza research. However, eating another pizza didn't sound that fun, so when someone mentioned crepes, I thought, "yeah! I haven't made those since we shifted house in April."
Made a mental list for the grocery store and then thought, "gee, I am not too enthusiastic about more chocolate/strawberry and ham/cheese crepes." Then Ling's mom said something about having nice seafood crepes in Paris my interest was piqued. Then I decided a nice carmelized apple would do for dessert. I ended up doing 4x more than I expected when I woke up today. Thanks Julia Child.....
]]> In Search of Pizza One of the cafes we enjoyed in Sydney was Bertoni Casalinga. They manage to do something that I have always found absolutely, inexcusably appalling: reheat pizza.
I detest how disgusting NYC 'pizzarias' oven-reheat their cold slices of shit. But the people at Bertoni do it different: they start out with fundamentally good pizza (thick , fluffy crust, beautiful rich sauce, and high quality meat toppings) which they heat up in a large electric sandwich grill. It really comes out nicely.
I came home (prematurely) early last week after being the first off my table at a poker game at the "Crows Nest Club." On the way home I saw a Domino's pizza. They're the closest it comes to the type of pizza I like, so it got me hungry and I ordered one. It was ok, not great, but alright.
All this got me thinking, "I know exactly how I want my pizza to taste, so why don't I just figure out the exact formula for that?"
So that's what I started research work on this weekend.
Really looking forward to nine hours in economy class with a sixteen-month old.

Ling dropped Shannon at the airport monday afternoon. Tuesday morning, driving to work, I realized Shannon was still in the air, flying. *ouch*
It was good having her over to visit though. At lunch today with friends I asked Luke, "where's Tua-Kah ?" He looked around and gave me his sign language gesture for "not here."
Little man is now walking, tentatively. The longest I've seen him walk so far is about ten feet. He is no longer so resistent to walking. He used to plop on his ass if you tried to carry him along under his arms or hold his hand.
He's also making all sorts of babbling conversation-sound noises to himself, so I suppose that he'll be talking soon too. Ling read somewhere that at his age he should be speaking fifty words. What a joke. He probably knows fifty words, but since he chooses to skip all the one syllable words and go for the two-syllables like 'bubble' and 'tractor' it seems to be slowing his pace a bit.
I'm freed up to tag along with Ling and Luke next week for ten days in Sydney. The only problem is that three nights in a row out having big dinners and drinking plus a bad saturday sunburn knocked my immune system around and I've managed to catch a flu of some sort.
Normally this will kill us -- I get sick, then Ling does, and then Luke does. Three or four weeks later everyone is recovered. I don't want to spoil our vacation, so I went to the doctor and got a course of Tamiflu, that anti-flu viral medication. I gave Ling some too, as apparently taking it reduces the chance of her catching it from my by 92%. Relatively expensive, but well worth the cost of saving a vacation. Ling is sleeping in the other room for the time being, I've been avoiding Luke, and when we drove around today I was wearing a surgical mask. I was amazed how few looks i actually got for it.
Anyway, the dinners were worth it. Particularly saturday night's italian dinner at Valentinos. Most noted item we had there was white truffle. All the girls had generous shavings of white truffles in their olio porcini pasta. I've never had truffle like that before. The smell is truly amazing. The taste, a comparative letdown. Definitely not worth the absurdly outrageous price.
