Can A Fiery Diet Help
Your Heart?
New research says that spicing up your diet
might keep you from having a heart attack.
How can hot sauces and jalapenos help your
heart? Research seems to point to the possibility
that fiery foods block coronary buildup and keep
your blood moving.
Scientists have determined that cayenne pepper
inhibits the production of thromboxanes, which
promote clotting. Cayenne and other chilies are
also thought to dissolve already existing clots. A recent study found Thais who ate spicy diets have
a better ability to break down proteins that cause blood clots than those who ate milder diets.
Capsaicin, which gives chilies their heat, can help lower blood pressure. This means capsaicin
intake can help prevent damage leading to blood clots. And that’s not all capsaicin is believed to
do; researchers think it also might help lower harmful cholesterol in the blood. High levels of bad
cholesterol are what cause most blood clots, and clots are what cause most heart attacks.
So think about piling on the hot peppers – and even heading back for seconds!

What Kids Think Of Love
Love is like an avalanche where you have to run for your life. John, age 9
I think you’re supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn’t supposed
to be so painful. Manuel, age 8
On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them
interested enough to go for a second date. Mike, 10
I’m in favor of love as long as it doesn’t happen when Dinosaurs is on
television. Jill, age 6
One of the people has freckles, and so he finds somebody else who has
freckles, too. Andrew, age 6
My Mother says to look for a man who is kind. That’s what I’ll do. I’ll
find somebody who’s kinda tall and handsome. Carolyn, age 8
One of you should know how to write a check. Because, even if you have tons of love, there is
still going to be a lot of bills. Ava, age 8
Love is foolish...but I still might try it sometime. Floyd, age 9
