Hot Dogs

Kids love them!  But, if you are attempting to get protein from healthy sources, then hot dogs are not the way to go. 

Ounce per ounce, most regular hot dogs have more fat than ground beef.

However, if you should choose to consume an occasional hot dog,  be sure to cook it thoroughly.  Uncooked hot dogs have been implicated in listeria infections.  Listeria usually causes flu-like symptoms, but it can be deadly to fetuses and to people with weak immune systems.  Listeria causes about 450 deaths a year and 100 stillbirths.

Is the Immune System like Star Wars?

Is the Immune System like Star Wars? Sorta.  That is, IF it is working correctly.

Ever wonder why best friends, Jane and Sue, go shopping, and both are exposed to the same germ.  Jane gets sick.  Sue does not.  What is the difference? Simple answer.  

The state of their immune system. 

We cannot avoid germs.  But, we can prepare our body for a "Star Wars" attack again them. We can keep our immune system on "ready alert" so that it attacks intruders immediately and kills them before they can invade enough cells to make us sick.  

An ingredient called INTERFERON is a very important component 

of our immune system, and here is an EXCELLENT website that 

explains how it works in the body.
