Busting out all over from dinner

A feature from Mary Jane Popp at KAHI Radio in Sacramento, California

Say Hi to Mary Jane Popp

Do you eat until you feel like bursting at Thanksgiving?

Does the desert tray beckon you come hither and add on those extra pounds you don’t need?

Either one will guilt you into starvation in January trying to rid yourself of that extra weight. Well, Dr. David Magnano, a health educator who has designed and presented hundreds of wellness workshops, has some tips for healthy eating.

Not to worry, you will still enjoy a jolly eating season. So here is Dr Magnano’s course in “Eating 101” that reviews seven simple rules for healthy eating, which he says will significantly decrease falling victim to aches, pains, and degenerative diseases both now and as we advance in years….and weight too.

1) EAT ONLY WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY. Many people eat when they are not even hungry. They eat because they think they should eat: It’s lunch time or because they are on a schedule.

2) DON’T MIX FOOD TYPES. Eat foods in the proper order. It’s preferable to eat foods of one type all at the same time. Have meats first, slowly, which will allow the brain to trigger productions of the body’s strongest digestive enzymes. Add a little salad, and after fifteen minutes, eat your potato. Twenty minutes after the potato is gone, fruits or sugared desserts are okay to eat. The worst error would be to go to a buffet and gorge yourself on foods you don’t generally eat that are grown or are from other continents.

3) DON’T EAT WHEN YOU’RE FEELING STRESSED, ILL OR INJURED. Boyfriend or girlfriend just dump you? Bad day at work? Coming down with the flu? Don’t try to medicate yourself with a pint of ice cream or a New York Strip steak. When we are experiencing physical, emotional and mental stress or when ill or injured or when our body is too hot or too cold, our digestive system is shut down and our body is in healing mode, not digestive mode. Try soup broth and juices.

4) CHEW 22 TIMES…INCLUDING PROTEIN DRINKS. Don’t gulp down those drinks because it’s like swallowing a whole steak. You have to chew protein, or the signals to the brain won’t be there. If you don’t chew, you’re shocking the system.

5) DON’T EAT OVERLY COOKED FOODS. Because we don’t know what’s being added to the food we buy, we tend to over process it because we’re afraid we’ll get sick if we eat something raw. Meat should never be heated in excess of 118 degrees, as the enzymes in that protein are destroyed when they’re heated that high. Guess you have to be careful of the meats you buy.

6) GIVE YOUR FOOD A BACKGROUND CHECK. Learn to be a food detective. Know the history of what you put in your mouth. Are the apples colored or sprayed or glazed? Get fresh, locally grown meat and produce. Start your own small garden. Be sure whatever you consume is the finest you can purchase or grow.

7) USE SPICES AND NATURAL DIGESTIVE AIDS TO HELP BREAKDOWN WHAT YOU EAT. Some cultures add ginger for super digestion. Others, add hot peppers, a digestive tract stimulant. Turmeric is also good for digestion.

No more time, so get more information at www.naturessources.com and be sure not to gulp-and-go. 

Happy holiday eating!

A Thanksgiving Greeting from KAHI Radio

Let's be Thankful from the files of Mary Jane Popp at KAHI Radio

Mary Jane Popp and KAHI Radio in Sacramento, CA Wish You a Happy Thanksgiving

It’s gonna’ be turkey and all the trimmings from cranberries to pumpkin pie. It’s gonna’ be football to the max and family and friends gathering together to party hearty on a day off! That’s what Thanksgiving means to most folks.

So, I went in search of some of our favorite Radio and TV personalities to find out what they are thankful for. You would think it’s the glamour of being on the air and folks fawning all over them because of what they do, but you might be surprised!

Dan Elliott ~ Anchor KXTV “News 10 Good Morning” told me.

“First and foremost, I am thankful for a great family…the best wife a man could ask for and three wonderful sons who bring so much joy to my heart.

Second, I’m thankful to be living where I am…I have never lived outside California, and if all goes to plan, that will never change.

And third, I’m thankful to be doing what I love and to be getting paid to do it. I love the news and the people I work with, so even though it’s a job, it is also a pleasure most of the time.”

Big Jim Hall ~ Afternoon Air Personality 101.5 KHITS Radio has a sad yet hopeful message

“Having lost my wife and one of my brothers in the last two years, I have reflected on many things. I find that I am most thankful for those family members and good friends that still surround me. I try to be more appreciative of the here and now, taking in all I can. Love on those near you and thank God daily for your blessings.”

Bob Stephenson ~ Afternoon News Anchor AM-950 KAHI Radio.

”In this time of Thanksgiving, I am thankful that I am now back near my family…kids and grandkids…especially during the holiday season. There is no greater gift than that of family.

Kitty O’Neal ~ AM/FM Afternoon Anchor KFBK Radio shared this with me.

“As time goes by, I see the importance of being grateful for even the small, seemingly insignificant things in life that we often take for granted. So, to chronicle my gratitude list would be unwieldy! But suffice to say, I carry deep thanks in my heart for family and friends, for the ideals upon which this country was founded, for the good I see expressed every day, and for God.

Jeanne Marie ~ Media/Political Make-Up Artist who has worked on some really famous faces told me

 “I am grateful for another beautiful day in all kinds of weather; bright and sunny, or cloudy and rainy. I’m grateful for the incredible art displays painted across our skies, and for flowers, trees, and nature. But, I am also so grateful for being happy and joyful, because for just merely that statement of acknowledgement and gratitude, it draws more of it to you.”

Casey Freelove ~ Show Host/Production Director AM 950 KAHI Radio has thanks.

“This year, I am thankful for good friends, my Mom (who is my biggest supporter) and to have a job that I love. I am thankful to live in the greatest country in the world. On Thanksgiving Day, I am thankful for Dallas Cowboys football, turkey, and all the fixings.”

You see what I mean?

Thanksgiving is family and friends and love to all is what they all care about. Okay, I know you want to know what I am thankful for too.

Simply put…The love of my husband of 43 years, still having a loving brother and sister-in-law, talking with you every day on the News and POPPOFF on AM-950 KAHI Radio, and to genuinely know that I may be changing lives for the better for lots of folks with what I do.

Love trumps all. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks But . . .

Thanks, But . . . from Warning Signs by Alan Caruba at Facts-not-Fantasy

Be Aware of the Caruba's Warning Signs

I know that Thanksgiving is the day we are all supposed to review a list of all the things for which we should be thankful and surely each of us has a list, usually family and friends, and, patriotically, for being Americans.

What makes this Thanksgiving different from those that have proceeded it is the reminder from President Obama that, in his opinion, America is not exceptional and, presumably, that means neither are we. I don’t think this nation has ever celebrated Thanksgiving when its President did not like America. We’ve had six Thanksgivings with Obama and each one has given us less for which to be thankful in terms of the economy and our national security.

Consider the vast unemployment that exists nationwide thanks to his failure to bring an end to the Great Recession. Forty million will use food stamps to put food on the table. Nearly half of all Americans are receiving government benefits that are paid for by those thankful to have a job. Thanks to ObamaCare millions lost their healthcare plans and millions more will in 2015. There is nothing “affordable” in the Affordable Care Act including the billion dollars spent on its website.

I think this Thanksgiving Day will have a different mood for the many Americans, especially who did not vote for President Obama or the Democratic Party. It is astounding to me that somewhere around 47% of those who presumably voted for him say they approve of his performance in office.

After election results that rejected him and his party, Obama has told them that he is more interested in what the two-thirds of voters in the last election who stayed home had to say. He “heard” them, too. He apparently did not hear what those who voted to give power in the Senate to the GOP while adding more Republicans in the House had to say.

Anyone paying any attention for the past six years knows that he doesn’t much care what any of us say and never has.

He believes his job is to “transform” a nation that did not need any transforming. America was and is a beacon of freedom to the world. That beacon, however, has grown dim for our allies whose leaders can no longer trust him. It has become clear to our enemies that they can do what they want without paying a price.

To drive home that message, he has been reducing our military to pre-World War II levels. Reluctantly he has increased our military presence in Iraq and will maintain troops in Afghanistan after making it clear that abandoning both of those nations to the Islamists was a major element of his foreign policy; if indeed he can be said to have a foreign policy other than retreat and isolation.

Instead of addressing the growing threat of Islamic fascism, Obama is talking about “climate change” as the great threat when, except for the idiots that believe anything he says anymore, people with any intelligence knows that there is nothing anyone can do regarding the climate. The only people who believe there’s any global warming haven’t been paying any attention for the last nineteen years in which the Earth has been in a predictable, natural cooling cycle, just like the Sun.

Closer to home, the White House just released plans for 3,415 regulations, the worst of which are from the Environmental Protection Agency that is destroying our nation’s ability to generate electricity, the one energy on which we all depend. At the same time, the President has just returned from China having signed an agreement to reduce “gashouse emissions” when such a reduction has no basis in science or logic, but translates into higher costs for electricity.

A national holiday should celebrate the ideals of our founding, but this year’s Thanksgiving occurs as the federal government grows ever larger and the amount of regulation of every aspect of our lives and the economy grows with it. This is the exact opposition of what the Founding Fathers intended.

Those Founding Fathers came together to wage a revolution against England’s King George III, a monarch whose commands they did not want to obey any more. This year’s Thanksgiving occurs as Congress is being challenged by a President who wants to ignore the separation of powers in the Constitution and the limits on executive powers. His intention to alter the current immigration laws is totally unconstitutional and must be stopped by every legal means available.

This Thanksgiving America is a less free nation in which a tsunami of regulations and laws continues to reduce our fundamental freedoms. This Thanksgiving, America is a nation that is losing the respect of other nations. This Thanksgiving, we face two more years of a lawless President who threatens the Constitution.

We have two more Thanksgiving Days before we turn America around and restore it to the great nation it was.
