 A
three-month treatment with Epicatechin(100 mg/day) a
flavonoid found in dark chocolate, changes were observed
in mitochondria volume and the abundance of cristae,
which are internal compartments of mitochondria that are
necessary for efficient function of the mitochondria,
and measurable by electron microscopy. Mitochondria are
structures responsible for most of the energy produced
in cells. These "fuel cells" become dysfunctional as a
result of both type 2 diabetes and heart failure,
leading to abnormalities in skeletal muscle.

No Pain, No Gain
 A
journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
So what if that first step is a little painful?
If you want to accomplish something, there are two kinds
of pain you might encounter: the pain of discipline and
the pain of regret.
Whenever you take that first step toward a new goal, you
often experience the pain of discipline: the pain of
hard work, the pain of sacrifice, as you single-mindedly
pursue your dream.
On the other hand, if you don't go after your dreams,
you might experience an even greater type of pain: the
pain of staying stuck, which eventually turns into the
pain of regret.
If you discipline yourself on a daily basis, something
"magical" is bound to happen, almost without your
realizing it-one day, the discipline will turn into
desire.
A runner who "makes" herself run on a daily basis, one
day gets up "wanting" to run. The same holds true for
writing, public speaking, or anything else.
So today, start that project, make that call, do what
you need to do to begin. Here's a guarantee: If you work
through a little pain, you'll see a little progress.

Ingredients:
-
1-2 cloves of garlic
-
1/2 medium onion chopped
-
1/2 lb. leafy greens (kale, chard, or collard greens)
-
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
-
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
|
Directions:
Chop the garlic and onions, and then set aside – research shows that allowing garlic to stand for 10-15 minutes before cooking can help retain its health-beneficial enzymes. -
With a knife, remove and discard very tough or damaged end portions of the greens – keep the majority of the stems attached. "Core" the center portion of the greens, then chop the leaf cores and stems into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Roll the leaves into a tube shape, about 3 at a time, and cut lengthwise to create thin 1" ribbons.
-
Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onion, garlic, black pepper, and green stems and cores. Heat, covered, for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are translucent. Add the leaves and cook, covered, another 3-5 minutes until stems are tender and leaves are wilted and brightly colored. Add a tablespoon of water to the pan if it seems like the leaves are getting too dry.
-
Add salt to taste.

 Repeated cycles of dieting can make you fatter than before. That's because when you lose the weight, it often comes from water and muscles. But when you gain it back, it returns in the form of fat. Up to 50 percent of women are on a diet at any given time, according to Judy Mahle Lutter in her book "The Bodywise Woman." Up to 90 percent of teenagers diet regularly, and up to 50 percent of younger kids have tried a diet at some point.
