American Heart Association Volunteer Medical Expert Dr. Mike shares how to be prepared for a heart-related emergency ahead of big family gatherings and holiday parties. He discusses why everyone from 9-99 can learn CPR and how it could save a life in an emergency.
Soy, almond, oat, coconut, cashew, hemp, rice, macadamia, rice—vegan milk varieties abound these days, and for good reason. Shoppers who want to help support the growing movement, let mother cows keep their newborn, slash greenhouse gas emissions, and cut out cholesterol are ditching dairy, meaning that supermarkets and even small stores are packing their shelves with a plethora of plant milk choices, and coffee shops are dropping the extra charge for vegan milks—gaining a whole latte love from conscientious consumers. From rich and creamy coffee “creamers” to protein powerhouses for smoothies to delicious dairy-free eggnogs for vegan (or lactose intolerant) families and holiday guests, there’s a plant milk to satisfy any taste craving, dietary or nutritional need. Marissa Price, a social media manager for PETA, discusses how easy it is to find just the perfect vegan milk for your listeners during the holidays and beyond.
It’s cold and flu season and staying healthy is top of mind. People often use common cold and flu remedies that purport to suppress symptoms, unaware that the latest science has shown that commonly used over the counter products result in prolonging the sick days and even causing secondary infections. Even the FDA has recently started reexamining previously allowed over the counter ingredients. An FDA advisory committee recently unanimously voted that phenylephrine, a common decongestant saddled with many side effects, is ineffective. The same vigilance is now being applied by the FDA to other active ingredients, which given decades of independent research against are also teetering being delisted. Dr. Nazlie Latefi, Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Applied Biological Laboratories, has been on the forefront of cold and flu research decades.
