| ALLAH IS ONE - WAHID | for everyone |
1 - My father - Allah have mercy on him - narrated to us: he said: Muhammad b. Yahya al-`Itaar narrated to us from Ahmed b. Muhammad b. `Isa, from Abi Hashim al-Ja`fari, who said:
I asked Abu Ja`far, the second (al-Taqiy) [a]: What is the meaning of the One ?
He replied [a]: (It means) The unanimity of all tongues with regards to (Allah's) Oneness.-
2 - `Abdullah b. Muhammad b. `Abdul Wahhab b. Nadr b. `Abdul Wahhab b. `Itaa' b. Wasel al-Sijziy narrated to us, he said: We were informed by Abul Hasan Ahmad b. Muhammad b. `Abdullah b. Dumrah al-Shi`rani al-`Ammari who is from the children of `Ammar b. Yasir who said: We were informed by Abu Muhammad `Ubaydallah b. Yahya b. `Abdul Baqi al-Udhunni narrated to us in Udhnah, from Abil Miqdam b. Shareeh b. Hani, from his father who said: An Arab approached and stood by Ameer al Mu'mineen (Imam Ali) [a] on the day of (the Battle of) Jamal, and said: O' Ameer al Mu'mineen, is Allah one?
I said: So the people attacked him and said: O Arab! Do you not see in what (affairs) is the heart of Ameer al Mu'mineen - peace be upon him - divided?
Ameer al Mu'mineen [a] replied: Call him. Indeed that which this Arab seeks is what I desire from this nation.
He [a] then said: O' Arab, indeed the staement that "Allah is one" can be of four types. Two of these aspects are not permissible for Allah, Mighty and Exalted, while two aspects are established for Him. Of the two that are not permissible for Him are: When a speaker calls Him "one" that he intends by it a kind of number. And this is not permissible since one who does not have a second cannot fall into the category of numbers. Have you not seen that those who say (that Allah is) "the Third of the Three" have indeed blasphemed? And (what is also impermissible is) a speaker saying that he is "one of the people", intending by which to assign a genus (to Allah). And this (meaning of "one) is impermissible because it is ascribing to Him similarity (to other things in that genus), and our Lord is more Gloroius than this, and Higher.
As for the aspects (of "one") that are established (for Allah) are: The saying of a speaker that He is one (such that) there is not a thing that is similar to Him, and thus is our Lord. And (the second is) the saying of a speaker: Indeed He, Mighty and Exalted, is one in meaning, meaning by this that He is not divisible in His Existence, nor in (our) intellect, nor in (our) imagination, and thus is our Lord, Mighty and Exalted.

| AS-SAMAD - IS THAT WHICH HAS NO DEFICIENCIES | for everyone |
- My father - Allah have mercy on him - narrated to us, he said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us, he said: Muhammad b. `Isa narrated to us, from Younis b. `AbderRahman from Rabee` b. Muslim, who said:
I heard Abul Hasan (al Kadhim) [a], when he was asked about (the meaning of) as-Samad, say: as-Samad is that which has no deficiencies. [Translator's note: Al-Kulayni (compiler of al-Kafi) has said the following regarding the meaning of as-Samad. “This is the correct meaning of as-Samad. What al-Mushabbihah (people who consider Allah similar to certain things) believe is not correct. as-Samad literally means solid as opposed to hollow, which applies only to physical objects. Allah, the Most High, is by far above such attributes. Had such attributes applied to Allah, the Most High, the Most Gracious, it would have contradicted His statement that says, ‘There is nothing similar to Him.’]

2 - `Ali b. Ahmed b. Muhammad b. `Imran al-Daqaaq - may Allah be pleased with him - narrated to us, he said: Muhammad b. Yaqoub narrated to us, from `Ali b. Muhammad, from Sahl b. Ziyad, from Muhammad b. Waleed - whose tite was Shabab al-Sayrafi - from Dawud b. Qasim al-Ja`fari who said:
I said to Abi Ja`far (al-Baqir) [a]: May I be your ransom, what is as-Samad?
He said: as-Samad means the Master towards whom one turns, in small (matters) and large.3 - Abu Muhammad Ja`far b. `Ali, the faqeeh from Qum and, later, Ilaq - Allah be pleased with him - narrated to us, he said: Abu Sa`eed `Abdan b. Fadl narrated to us, he said: Abul Hasan Muhammad b. Yaqoub b. Muhammad b. Younis B. Ja`far b. Ibrahim b. Muhammad b. `Ali b. `Abdullah b. Ja`far b. Abi Talib narrated to me in the city of Khajnadah, he said: Abu Bakr Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Shuja` al-Farghani narrated to me, he said: Abu Muhammad al-Hasan b. Hammad al-`Anbari narrated to me in Egypt, he said: Isma`il b. `Abd al-Jaleel al-Barqi narrated to me, from Abil Bakhtari Wahab b. Wahab al-Qarashi, from Abi `Abdullah as-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad [a], who said:
(My father) Baqir [a] said: My father, Zain al-`Abideen [a] narrated to me from his father, Husain B. `Ali [a], who said:
as-Samad is that which has no deficiencies. And as-Samad is that with which (is reached) ultimate supremacy (? - suwaddadah). And as-Samad is that with which does not eat and does not drink. Andas-Samad is that which does not sleep. And as-Samad is that which has not passed away, nor will it pass away.
(Imam) Baqir [a] said: Muhammad b. Hanafiyyah - Allah sanctify his soul - used to say: as-Samad means to exist by iteself, needless of others.
Others beside him said: as-Samad (is that which) transcends place and deterioration, and as-Samad is that which cannot be described by things that change.
(Imam) Baqir [a] said: as-Samad is a Master who is obeyed, such that above Him are none to command (Him) nor prohibit (Him).
He said: `Ali b. Husain Zayn al-`Abideen [a] was asked about as-Samad. He replied: as-Samad is that which has no partner, nor is it difficult for it (the thing that is as-Samad) to keep things safe, nor is there anything concealed from it.
He said: Wahab b. Wahab al-Qarshi said: Zayd b. `Ali [a] said: as-Samad is that which when wills a thing, says to it, Be: and it is. And as-Samad is that which invented things and created for them their opposites and forms and partners, while He is unique in His Oneness, without an opposite, nor a form, nor likeness, nor equal.
And Wahab b. Wahab al-Qarshi said: I heard Sadiq [a] say: A delegation from Palestine approached al-Baqir [a] and asked him regarding some issues, so he answered them. Then they asked him aboutas-Samad, so he [a] said:
This is its explanation: as-Samad is made of five letters (alif, laam, saad, meem, daal). The alif is proof of his (?) iniyyatuh, and this is His, Mighty and Exalted, saying: Allah bears witness that there is no god but Him [Qur'an - 3:18]. And in this is a warning and reference to the Unseen (al-gha'ib) about understanding it through the senses. And the laam is proof of His divinity, that He is indeed Allah. And the alif and laam are combined (when written in as-Samad), and do not appear on the tongue (i.e., they are not pronounced), nor are they heard. But their appearance in the text is proof that His (Allah's) divinity is concealed by His subtlety (or, fineness -- lit. lutfihi), such that it (His divinity) is not encompassed by the senses, not can it be expressed by the tongue of any describer, nor (can it be heard) by the ear of any listener. Because the meaning of "the God" is He who perplexes creation when it (creation) tries to understand His essence and state of existence (or howness - kayfiyyah) by the senses or by the imagination. No, instead He is the originator of imaginations and the creator of senses.
And indeed their (the alif and laam) appearance in the text is proof that Allah, the Exalted, has made apparent His lordship in the origination of creation, and in the mixing of their fine spirits in their coarse bodies. Such that when a servant (i.e. person) looks upon himself he cannot see his own spirit, just like the laam in as-Samad which is not visible and is not perceptible by the five senses (when spoken), but, when you look upon the text, that which was hidden and fine, becomes apparent.
For when a servant (person) contemplates on the essence of the Maker and His state of existence he gets confounded therein and (becomes) confused, and his thoughts cannot encompass any thing that he can conceive to be Him, since He, the Mighty and Exalted, is the creator of conceptions. For when one looks upon creation it is affirmed for him that indeed He, the Mighty and Exalted, is their creator and the One who has mixed their spirits into their bodies.
As for the saad (in as-Samad) it is proof that indeed He, the Mighty and Exalted, is Truthful (Sadiq), and His speech is true, and His words are True. And He has invited His servants to pursue the truth with truth, and has promised with truth the House of Truth (i.e., Paradise).
As for the meem (in as-Samad) it is proof of His Kingdom (Mulkuhu), and indeed He, the Mighty and Exalted, is the true King, (the One) who has not passed away, nor will pass away, nor does His Kingdom pass away. As for the daal (in as-Samad) it is proof of the eternity (Dawam) of His Kingdom, for indeed He, the Mighty and Exalted, is Eternal. He is above (the state of) being and passing away, rather He, the Mgithy and Exalted, brought into being the universe by whose formation all other all entities exist. [

| ALLAH (S.T.) MEANS WHO DOMINATES THE SMALL AND THE LARGE | for everyone |
My father - may Allah have mercy on him - said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us from Ahmed b. Muhammad b. `Isa, from Qasim b. Yahya, from his grandfather Hasan b. Rashid, from Abi Hasan Musa b. Ja`far [a]:
Once, a question was asked (from the Imam) about the meaning of “Allah”. He (the Imam) replied, ‘It (the word “Allah”) means one who dominates the small and the large.’
Once, a question was asked (from the Imam) about the meaning of “Allah”. He (the Imam) replied, ‘It (the word “Allah”) means one who dominates the small and the large.’
2 - Muhammad b. al Qasim al Jarjani al Mufassir - may Allah be pleased with him - narrated to us; he said: Abu Ya`qub Yusuf b. Muhammad b. Ziyad and Abul Hasan `Ali b. Muhammad b. Sayyaar narrated to us, and these two were from the Imami Shi`i, and they from their fathers, from al Hasan b. `Ali b. Muhammad (al-Askari) [a] about the saying of Allah, Mighty and Exalted,: Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. So he [a] said:
“Allah is He towards whom are placed the desires and distresses of all creation. And when all hopes are severed from everyone apart from Him, and all provisions are cut off from all besides Him, you say:Bismillah. That is, I seek help in all my affairs from Allah, whom no one befits worship but Him, the One who helps when His help is sought, and the One who responds when called upon. And He is what, when a man said to al-Sadiq [a]: O son of the Messenger of Allah! Guide me regarding Allah, what is He? For often those who engage in arguments argue with me and perplex me.
So he (al-Sadiq [a]) said to him: “O `Abdullah! Have you ever sailed on a ship alone?” He said: Yes. He said: “Then has it ever broken down on you (during the joyrney) where there was no (other) ship to save you, nor was there any skilled swimmer to save you?”
He said: Yes.
He [a] said: “Then did it occur to you in your heart that there is a thing from the things which has the power to rescue you from your getting drowned?”
He said: Yes.
Al Sadiq [a] said: That very thing is Allah, the One capable of saving when there is no saviour, and of helping when there is no helper.
| AL-ALIY AL-AZEEM - (THE HIGH, THE GREAT) | for everyone |
2 - My father - may Allah be pleased with him - narrated with this chain: From Muhammad b. Sinan, from Abil Hasan ar-Rida [a], who said:
I (Muhammad b. Sinan) asked him [a]: Was Allah, Mighty and Exalted, aware of His nafs (Self) before He created creation?
He [a] replied: Yes.
I asked: Did He see it and hear it? (i.e., see and hear His nafs)
He replied: He had no need for such, since neither did he ask His nafs (any questions) nor did he demand (anything) from it. And He is His nafs and His nafs is Him. His Power is dominant. And He had no need to name Himself, but He chose to do so for others so they could call to Him by them (the names). Since, if you don't call one by means of his name, he is not recognized. And the first name that He chose for Himself is Al-`Aliy Al-`Azeem (the High, the Great) since He is above all things. So the meaning of the name (i.e., what it points to) is
I (Muhammad b. Sinan) asked him [a]: Was Allah, Mighty and Exalted, aware of His nafs (Self) before He created creation?
He [a] replied: Yes.
I asked: Did He see it and hear it? (i.e., see and hear His nafs)
He replied: He had no need for such, since neither did he ask His nafs (any questions) nor did he demand (anything) from it. And He is His nafs and His nafs is Him. His Power is dominant.

And the first name that He chose for Himself is Al-`Aliy Al-`Azeem (the High, the Great) since He is above all things. So the meaning of the name (i.e., what it points to) is
Allah, though the name is Al-`Aliy Al-`Azeem. And this was the first name of His since He is High above all other things.
| HOW TO RANK SHIAS...... HADEES | for everyone |
Abu Ja`far (al-Baqir) [a] said: O’ my son, recognize the ranks of Shi`a according to the amount of our narrations (they know) and their understanding thereof. And indeed this understanding is his cognizance of the narration. And through cognizance of the narrations the believer rises to the highest level of faith. Indeed when I glanced upon the Book of `Ali – upon whom be peace – I found therein: Indeed every man’s worth and importance is his ma`rifah (understanding). Allah, the Blessed and High, judges man according to the level of intellect accorded to him in this world.
3 - Ja`far b. Muhammad b. Masroor – may Allah be pleased with him – narrated from Husayn b. Muhammad b. `Amir, from the uncle of `Abdullah b. `Amir, from Muhammad b. Abi `Umayr, from Ibrahim Karkhi, from Abi `Abdillah (al-Sadiq) [a], who said:
To understand one hadith is better than narrating a thousand. It is not possible for any man among you to be a faqeeh (thoroughly versed in knowledge of Islamic affairs) until he recognizes the different interpretations of our words. For indeed every word from our sayings can be interpreted in seventy different ways, and each of these ways is available for us to express ourselves.
| Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. -Interpretation | for everyone |
1 – My father - may Allah have mercy on him - narrated to us; he said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us from Ahmad b. Muhammad b.`Isa from Qasim b. Yahya from his grandfather Hasan b. Rashid from `Abdullah b. Sinan, from Abi `Abdillah (al-Sadiq) [a]. He said: I asked him [a] about Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. He replied:
“The baa’ is for Allah’s brilliance (Bahaa’ Allah) and the seen is for Allah’s sublimity (Sanaa’ Allah) and the meem is for Allah’s glory (Majd Allah) -- and some others have narrated: Allah’s Kingdom (Mulk Allah) -- And Allah (means) the God of all things, the Beneficent (Rahman) towards the entire world and the Merciful (Raheem) for the select faithful.”. ن
2 – Muhammad b. al Hasan b. Ahmad b. al Waleed - may Allah be pleased with him - narrated to us; he said: Muhammad b. al Hasan al Saffaar narrated to us from al `Abbas b. Ma`ruf from Safwan b. Yahya from the one who narrated it to him, from Abu `Abdillah (al-Sadiq) [a] that he asked about Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. Then he [a] said:
The baa’ is for Allah’s brilliance (Bahaa’ Allah) and the seen is for Allah’s sublimity (Sanaa’ Allah) and the meem is for Allah’s kingdom (Mulk Allah). He said: I said: (And what about) Allah?
So he replied: The alif is for those bounties (aalaa’) of Allah upon His creation which are favours (bestowed on them) due to our mastership. And the laam is the obligation (ilzaam) of our mastership by Allah upon His creation.
I said: Then the haa’?
He said: (It stands for) humiliation (hawaan) of the one who opposes Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad, blessings of Allah be upon them all.
He said: (What about) the Beneficent (ar-Rahman)?
He replied: (It means His Mercy) Towards the entire world.
He said: (What about) The Merciful (ar-Raheem)?
He replied: (It means His Mercy) Towards the faithful, in particular.
4 - Another chapter on the meaning of Bismillah
Muhammad b. Ibrahim b. Ishaq al-Taliqani - may Allah be pleased with him - narrated to us, he said: we were informed by Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Sa`eed, the master of Bani Hashim, from `Ali b. Hasan b. `Ali b. Fadal, from his father who said:
I asked ar-Rida, `Ali b. Musa [a] about Bismillah (In the name of Allah).
He replied: The meaning of the saying of a speaker "Bismillah" is that he imprints upon himself a mark (simh) from the marks (simat) of Allah, the Mighty the Exalted, and this is worship.
I said to him: What is simh?
He replied: It is a sign (`alamah).
I asked ar-Rida, `Ali b. Musa [a] about Bismillah (In the name of Allah).
He replied: The meaning of the saying of a speaker "Bismillah" is that he imprints upon himself a mark (simh) from the marks (simat) of Allah, the Mighty the Exalted, and this is worship.
I said to him: What is simh?

| Prostate Cancer Detection | for everyone |
Early detection is one of the best ways to combat cancer. Catching cancer in its earliest stages gives you the best chances of successfully treating it. Checking for cancer (or for conditions that may lead to cancer) in people who have no symptoms is called "screening."
Nationally, prostate cancer screening recommendations are in flux. Alta Bates Summit Medical physicians typically recommend men should have a base line prostate screening, including both a blood test and medical examination, beginning at age 50. Men in high risk groups, African American men or men with family history of prostate cancer, should a have a base line screening beginning at an earlier age. Please talk to your physician to find out when you should be screened for prostate cancer.
Current screening methods for prostate cancer include:

Men in high risk groups, African American men or men with family history of prostate cancer, should a have a base line screening beginning at an earlier age. Please talk to your physician to find out when you should be screened for prostate cancer.
Current screening methods for prostate cancer include:
- PSA (Prostate-specific antigen) Testing – A simple blood test where the PSA substance is measured against established norms.
- DRE (Digital Rectal Exam) – A physical examination where a physician inserts a gloved lubricated finger into the rectum of a patient to feel for any bumps or hard areas on the prostate that might be cancer. This exam can sometimes find cancers in men with normal PSA levels. This is why the American Cancer Society guidelines recommend that when prostate cancer screening is done, both the DRE and PSA blood test should be used.
- TRUS (Transrectal Ultrasound) – This test uses sound waves to make an image of the prostate on a computer screen. For this test, a small probe that gives off sound waves is placed in the rectum. TRUS is usually not recommended as a routine test by itself to detect prostate cancer because it doesn't often show early cancer. For patients that are found to have a suspicious lump on a DRE, or a worrisome PSA level, a TRUS may be recommended, and consideration given to getting a series of biopsies of the prostate. These biopsies would be done to determine if there is any cancer in the prostate gland.
More information is available via Markstein Cancer Education and Prevention Services. Markstein Services is committed to providing the information needed to understand the role that early detection and adoption of risk-reducing lifestyle habits play in both preventing and treating cancer.
Their programs include outreach education initiatives, free community cancer screenings as well as support and educational tools to those impacted by a diagnosis of cancer.
Your doctor's office is one of the best places to keep a regular schedule of annual check-ups and screenings, such as PSA’s and digital rectal exams. To select an Alta Bates Summit physician, use our Find A Doctor search tool.

Prostate treatment programs vary depending upon age, the stage and grade of the cancer. The grade is assigned to the tumor based on the microscopic appearance of the cancer cells from the biopsies that were performed. The grade indicates the aggressiveness of the cancer, and is given as a score (the Gleason score) that ranges from a non-aggressive level of 2 to a very aggressive score of 10.
Statistics from the American Cancer Society show that 90% of prostate cancers are discovered in the localized stage, resulting in survival approaching 100%. The even better news is that over the past 25 years the 5 year survival rate for all stages of prostate cancer combined have increased from 69% to a staggering 99%. Some of the dramatic improvements in survival, especially at the 5 year stage may be attributable to earlier diagnosis as well as improvements in treatment.

Adequate D Inhibits Mammary Tumor Growth in Women
Sunshine Vitamin May Prevent Breast Cancer -LakovKalinin
Researchers have found that increasing serum levels of vitamin D may improve the prognosis for breast cancer patients. Although little is known about the exact mechanisms involved, emerging evidence suggests a particular protein sequence is involved.
Vitamin D and Breast Cancer Prevention
The Lancet medical journal reported in 1989 that the most active form of vitamin D calcitriol, significantly slowed the growth of breast cancer in animals. Calcitriol stops the growth of breast cancer by regulating cell cycles. It forces apoptosis (cell death); resists signals from substances that cause cancer cells to grow, inhibits invasion into normal tissue; and prevents metastasis. Vitamin D also prevents the formation of excessive blood vessel growth around the cancerous tumor, a process called anti-angiogenesis.
Researchers from St. Georges Hospital Medical School in London found women with tumors receptive to vitamin D went longer without a disease recurrence than women with tumors without receptors for vitamin D.

Cancer Treatment Homeopathy: World's Highest Success w/out Surgery Chemo Radio see cases www.Dr P Banerji.com/Cancer
A crucial chain of vitamin D events must first occur to decrease breast cancer cell growth The vitamin D receptor is only present in breast tissue if calcitriol has been present, which occurs if vitamin D's less-active form, calcidiol, has also been present. Breast cancer patients, scientists believe, likely have very few vitamin D receptors, as a result, treating D deficiency may increase the D receptors in their body and inhibit breast cancer cell growth.
Vitamin D Stimulates Protein to Inhibit Breast Cancer Cell Growth
While prior studies have linked calcitriol to lowering the growth of breast cancer cells, the molecular mechanisms were largely unknown. A study published in February 2009 from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey found that calcitriol stimulates the production of a tumor suppressing protein that can inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells. Vitamin D induces the enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha).
“These results provide an important process in which the active form of vitamin D may work to reduce growth of breast cancer cells,” said researcher Sylvia Christakos, Ph.D. “These studies provide a basis for the design of new anticancer agents that can target the protein as a candidate for breast cancer treatment,” said Christakos.
Increasing Vitamin D & Dosing
Despite the name, vitamin D isn't a vitamin; it's a secosteroid hormone that targets over 2000 genes in the body. Vitamin D has been shown to exhibit a positive effect on bone health, immunity, cancer prevention and inflammation. Vitamin D isn't readily available in most foods; it's made in large quantities when sunlight strikes bare skin which is why a deficiency is more common in the winter, when sunlight is less available.
“If you use suntan parlors once a week,” says Dr. Cannell, MD, Executive Director of the Vitamin D Council, “or if you live in Florida and sunbathe once a week, year-round, do nothing.” However, if you receive very little UVB exposure the Council recommends the following dosing levels of D3 for healthy adults and children:Vitamin D deficiency in American teens is common. One study indicates that only 25 percent of more than 3,500 teenagers ages 12 to 19 had levels higher than 26 ng/ml, and 25 percent had levels lower than 15 ng/ml which is severely deficient. The optimal level of vitamin D is much higher than the conventional recommendation of 30 ng/m. Vitamin D levels should be 50-65 ng/ml.
- healthy children under the age of 2 - 1,000 IU per day*
- healthy children over the age of 2 - 2,000 IU per day*
- adults and adolescents - 5,000 IU per day.
*The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 400 mg per day for children.
Vitamin D Deficiency and Disease
Vitamin D continues to make health science headlines as researchers link widespread deficiency to a long list of syndromes and diseases. The Vitamin D council website writes that VDDS, or Vitamin D Deficiency Syndrome, is "the aggregate of symptoms and signs associated with the morbid process of vitamin D deficiency, and constitute together the picture of the disease. " While researchers don't suggest a D deficiency directly causes the following or that elevating levels is a cure, an association between vitamin D deficiency and the following has been shown:
- osteoporosis
- heart disease
- hypertension
- autoimmune diseases
- certain cancers
- depression
- chronic fatigue
- chronic pain
As scientists continue to study the effects of vitamin D on breast cancer patients, a growing body of research is finding that elevating vitamin D levels may assist in treating breast cancer and decrease the likelihood of a recurrence. Findings may also lead to the development of new anticancer drugs. While further research needs to be conducted, elevating vitamin D to optimal levels may prevent breast cancer in some healthy women.

Food for Thought – A Woman's Perspective
A Women’s Guide to Staying Healthy through Nutrition
Women are faced with different health challenges at all stages of life – through adolescence to pregnancy to menopause and beyond – and healthy lifestyle choices are essential to optimize your health during each of these stages. Physical, mental, emotional and environmental factors are all equally important contributors to overall health at any age. Nutritional health is related to each of these factors, thus a healthy diet is crucial to achieving optimal health for women at all ages.Exploring women's health from adolescence to elderly from a nutritional perspective, offering simple solutions to overcome health challenges associated with aging.
Balance is Key
The basics of any healthy diet starts with eating a balanced diet containing lean protein (think chicken, turkey or tofu), complex carbohydrates from whole grains and vibrant fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats from fish, olive oil or flaxseeds. These foods all provide essential nutrients and also have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that serve to maintain optimal health as well as prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and cancer in both men and women.
Beyond a healthy diet, women require specific nutrients during each stage of their lives to maintain optimal health. For example, optimal levels of calcium, iron, zinc and folic acid are critical for adolescent women to develop healthy bones, teeth, skin, nerves, muscles and immune function. Low levels of these and other nutrients early in the developmental stage sets the stage for health complications such as osteoporosis, immune deficiencies, anemia, and cognitive deficits. Folic acid is needed for DNA synthesis and is critical both during the developmental years for proper growth, and during pregnancy to prevent serious birth defects such as spina bifida.

Deal with Jealousy: Ways to Keep Trust in Your Relationship
Imagine this situation you are eating out with your partner when a young, smart and beautiful lady passes by. Your partner casually remarks on how great she looks. You find yourself getting angry and a spat ensues. The culprit is not you or your partner. It is that innate feeling of jealousy.
Everyone has experienced jealousy in a relationship at one time or another. Regardless of your partner’s response, you’ll probably feel something if a co-worker shows a little too much attention or an old flame calls out of the blue. When you feel a little bit of jealousy, it can remind you how strongly you feel about your mate, that other people still find her attractive or that you’re lucky to have him.
Often times the little green monster that is jealousy can rear its head when you least expect. The littlest things can set you into a long deep spiral of becoming jealous over your significant other. A little bit of jealousy when you are in a relationship is normal and shows that you care about the other person. Letting jealousy run through every aspect and interaction in your relationship is not healthy.
Even if there is nothing going on, you jealousy could end up pushing away your significant other. They will feel like you do not trust them. There is a way to deal with jealousy in a relationship. It takes some determination and work on your part, but you can get past your feelings of jealousy.
When you are jealous, you should not hide it. Be open to your partner about your feelings. Explain what the situation is about and find a solution together. To communicate with your partner is essential within a relationship. You have to know what goes on in his or her head and this goes both ways. Only this way you can work together on an exaggerated form of jealousy.
Give your partner the feeling that you trust him or her. It will have an opposite effect if your partner gets the idea that you suspect him or her of adultery. Suspicion will never work positively. You should believe that your partner cares as much about you as you care about him or her. If you are really convinced, that your suspicions are true, you need to talk.
Don’t jump up if your partner kisses somebody on the cheek or gives someone a compliment. A relationship should not be based on the possession of each other, but on freedom and trust. Allow your partner to have social contact with others. Don’t be alarmed by little things. And ask same of your partner.
Keep in mind that a light form of jealousy is positive. Your jealousy should not take on huge shapes so it will not become disturbing. Light jealousy promotes attachment. Your jealousy should always remain an image of your love. So, as long as your jealousy doesn’t really stand in your way, it is an honorable feeling.
Get all of the information on the actions in your relationship that is causing you to become jealous. Many times your jealousy in your relationship can lead to false accusations. This will drive your significant other away from your relationship. To truly know if your jealousy is warranted, you need to do some research and look into why the actions that your partner took were made.
Keep the lines of communication open with your significant other. Communication is important in all relationships. When you are jealous of your partner, being able to open up and discuss it will help to settle your feelings. With an open line of communication, your significant other can tell you why he did what he did.
If you are dealing with jealousy or with a jealous partner, then ruling out the first reason is key. Ask yourself, as objectively as possible, is there any solid foundation for the jealousy? Is one partner spending too much attention on someone outside of the relationship? Are they spending time on the phone with someone they know is interested in them, even if that person is just a friend? If one partner is acting in a way that disrespects the relationship, even if they’re not cheating, then that needs to be addressed.
The two of you have to come to an agreement on what is and is not appropriate within the relationship. With mutual trust, a couple should be able to find a comfortable medium. For instance, if a woman at work keeps hitting on your boyfriend despite knowing he’s taken, then you can request that he ask her to stop.
Although some jealousy can be normal, it is important not to ignore excessive or irrational jealousy in a relationship. Some causes of jealousy, such as past infidelity or insecurity, can be worked through as a couple. But if the jealousy cannot be cured and it is damaging to you, then it’s best to end the relationship. Since extreme jealousy can easily lead to abuse, the most important thing is putting yourself first and nurturing relationships in which you are trusted and loved.
Advice:
If you find yourself experiencing the negative impact of jealousy or find that you response to jealousy is in a very aggressive manner, you should seek professional assistance.

- No animal, once frozen solid (i.e., water solidifies and turns to ice) survives when thawed, because the ice crystals formed inside cells would break open the cell membranes. However there are certain frogs that can survive the experience of being frozen. These frogs make special proteins which prevent the formation of ice (or at least keep the crystals from becoming very large), so that they actually never freeze even though their body temperature is below zero Celsius. The water in them remains liquid: a phenomenon known as 'supercooling.' If you disturb one of these frogs (just touching them even), the water in them quickly freezes solid and they die.
- The white part of your fingernail is called the lunula.
