Take Action:Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:New Foods for Your Osteoarthritis Diet
Broccoli, cabbage, garlic and onions are full of nutrition, but could they help ease osteoarthritis pain relief? Compounds in these veggies might turn out to be an arthritis cure on a plate, new research from England suggests. Learn about the intriguing science, then make these 6 delicious, easy recipes a part of your osteoarthritis diet…
Nutritionists have long been recommending anti-inflammatory foods such as vegetables, cherries and fatty fish for minor osteoarthritis pain relief, a common degenerative condition of the joints.
But recently, some English researchers looked into whether certain foods might help prevent or slow the progression of arthritis.
The active compounds in these foods are sulforaphane, found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, and diallyl disulphide, found in "allium" vegetables such as garlic and onions.
Diallyl disulphide helps block an inflammatory reaction that leads to osteoarthritis, according to a 2010 study published in BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders. When researchers looked at adult female twins, they found that those who ate more alliums had a lower rate of arthritis in their hips.
"The data suggests a protective association between allium vegetables and osteoarthritis," says researcher Ian Clark, Ph.D., a professor of musculoskeletal biology at the University of East Anglia, who participated in the study.
Clark's team also found sulforaphane blocks enzymes responsible for joint destruction, and is looking into whether eating vegetables such as broccoli can also help prevent arthritis.
Research is in its early stages, and so far the idea that vegetables could be a part of osteoarthritis treatments has only been demonstrated in laboratory tests, Clark tells Lifescript.
But why wait? These vegetables are delicious and loaded with nutrition, so there's no reason not to eat them frequently. If it turns out that they're a tasty arthritis cure, that'll just be a bonus.
Another plus: They fit perfectly into a lower-calorie eating plan – and losing excess weight is another important way to prevent arthritis pain and reduce stress on joints, according to the National Arthritis Foundation.
So load up your plate with the following foods and try 6 recipes that use them:
•Cruciferous vegetables: Broccoli, broccoli sprouts, kale, bok choy, Brussels sprouts and raw cabbage (especially Savoy or red varieties)
•Allium vegetables: Garlic, onions, leeks, chives, shallots and scallions
Herb & Onion Frittata
This onion-packed Italian-style omelet is delicious with just about any herb combination; try parsley, dill, chervil or marjoram.
Serves: 1
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup diced onion
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water, divided
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup liquid egg substitute, such as Egg Beaters
2 teaspoons chopped fresh herbs, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons farmer's cheese, or reduced-fat ricotta
Preparation
1. Bring onion and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cover and cook until onion is slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until water has evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Drizzle in oil and stir until coated. Continue cooking, stirring often, until onion begins to brown, 1-2 minutes more.
2. Pour in egg substitute, reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring constantly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until egg is starting to set, about 20 seconds. Continue cooking, lifting the edges so uncooked egg will flow underneath, until mostly set, about 30 seconds more.
3. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle herbs, salt and pepper over the frittata. Spoon cheese on top. Lift up an edge of the frittata and drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon water under it. Cover and cook until egg is completely set and cheese is hot, about 2 minutes. Slide frittata out of pan using the spatula and serve.
Enjoy!

- Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! In conclusion, O'Reilly expressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
- Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
- Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customers. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
- End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
- Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
- Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
- BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
- BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
- Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
- NEW: "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! NBC, Really? Update June 1, 2011: Trump now claims that Obama's long form, original birth certificate is fake. And NBC keeps this hater? NBC, You Kidding Us?

News Corp Smells Profit In Gay Wedding Business
06 August 2011 - by Bridgette P. LaVictoire - LezGetREal
While the hacks over at FOX News are busy attacking everything in sight with regards to same-sex marriage, News Corp smells profits. In fact, the embattled news corporation is planning on publishing WEDDING Pride, a high-end glossy which will feature "editorial content that celebrates the Gay Community and its recent achievement." This just shows that, if Rupert Murdoch could make a buck digging up his late mother and selling her as a road side attraction, he would.
Queerty reports that:Launching in September, the mag (produced by News Corp's Community Newspaper Group subsidiary) will have an initial distribution of 35,000 among "the traditional as well as the newer gay and gay friendly communities within the Tri-State area." (Translation: Chelsea, Park Slope, Fire Island, Montclair, South Orange, Asbury Park.)A 14 June editorial in the New York Post just underlines the problems that News Corp has with marriage equality. They wrote "There is no denying that same-sex marriage could become law this year. This reflects a seismic shift in society's attitudes on the issue and a growing acceptance of gays in general. Still, the question is vexing. But if we had a vote, it would be no. Marriage as an institution has fallen on hard times in recent years. But that's no excuse for weakening it further."
News Corp has shown lately that they will do anything for a buck. They will hack into people's phones and emails. They will have hack journalists spewing the most vile crap imaginable. They will back the notion that a default on the national debt is a good idea while also saying that they support the gutting of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. They ignored the racist, homophobic, misogynistic and down right dangerous rhetoric of Glenn Beck because he made money.
News Corp shows that Greed Is God every day.

Lucille Ball Supported Gay Rights In 1980: "How Can You Knock It?"
08/06/2011 - Towerland
Today would have been comedienne Lucille Ball's 100th birthday.
As people celebrate in their own way -- Google changed their homepage to honor the legendary entertainer -- I've stumbled upon a 1980 interview Ball did with People magazine in which she says she's no fan of Lily Tomlin, believes in women's rights, but doesn't participate because "I've been so liberated I have nothing to squawk about," and comes out for gay rights, still a relatively taboo subject those thirty-odd years ago.How do you feel about gay rights?It's perfectly all right with me. Some of the most gifted people I've ever met or read about are homosexual. How can you knock it?If only Ball were alive today to see how far LGBT people have come, and how many of us still adore her.
