Today's Health/Excercise Tip:
Is Your Smoothie Making You Fat?
 
You just spent an hour in the gym sweating your way through 30 minutes on the treadmill and another 30 minutes pumping iron. You're beat, and right now nothing looks more appealing than your gym's smoothie bar, which just so happens to be cleverly situated right next to the exit. After all, smoothies are healthy, right? Yes, if you're looking for a nutrient-packed meal, but probably not if you're looking for a low-calorie snack.

If you end up sipping on a smoothie made from concentrated fruit juices and full-fat dairy products, you could be packing over 500 calories in just 16-ounces. If you're trying to lose weight, burning off 500 calories in a grueling hour at the gym and then packing that right back on with a 500-calorie smoothie isn't exactly the best plan.

But before you give up on smoothies forever, let's back up a bit. If you stick with fresh and frozen fruits, low-fat milk or yogurt and ice, your smoothie will blend into a figure-friendly food. The combination of carbs, protein and fat will also help refuel spent muscles and prepare you for your next session at the gym. When in doubt, ask the staff at the smoothie bar to show you the nutrition information of their various drinks. If none of their offerings are low-cal, ask if you can customize your own smoothie.
And Now, Twink Wars!

150 Orthodox rabbis sign statement for acceptance of gay Jews
By Celeste Lavin, 365gay; Aug 3, 2010
 
A group of Orthodox rabbis issued a statement calling for the acceptance of gays and lesbians in the Orthodox community.
 
The statement said, "Embarrassing, harassing or demeaning someone with a homosexual orientation or same-sex attraction is a violation of Torah prohibitions that embody the deepest values of Judaism."
 
"Jews with homosexual orientations or same sex-attractions should be welcomed as full members of the synagogue and school community."

About 150 rabbis, mostly from the Modern Orthodox movement signed the statement that listed 12 principles for why gays and lesbians should be accepted in the Orthodox community.

Still, homosexual acts and gay marriage were found to be against the Orthodox interpretation of Judaism.

Even without marriage though, the rabbis wrote that "communities should display sensitivity, acceptance and full embrace of the adopted or biological children of homosexually active Jews in the synagogue and school setting, and we encourage parents and family of homosexually partnered Jews to make every effort to maintain harmonious family relations and connections."

The statement of principles emphasized that "change therapies" encouraged by some communities could be very harmful. "We affirm the religious right of those with a homosexual orientation to reject therapeutic approaches they reasonably see as useless or dangerous," read the statement.

It also said that Jews with same-sex attractions should not be pressured to marry different-sex partners "as this can lead to great tragedy, unrequited love, shame, dishonesty and ruined lives. They should be directed to contribute to Jewish and general society in other meaningful ways."

Rabbi Nathaniel Helfgot wrote the original draft of the statement after six months of preparation with other Orthodox rabbis and educators.

American Judaism's Reform and Reconstructionist movements accept gay Jews completely. The Conservative movement's view is slightly more ambiguous, leaving the decision to ordain gay rabbis and conduct same-sex union ceremonies up to individual synagogues. The Orthodox movement has generally been opposed to homosexuality.

"Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
