 Many
cases of sciatica might be caused by piriformis muscle
spasms, an effective dietary approach involving
increased consumption of magnesium-rich foods. Your body
requires magnesium to help release muscle contractions.
Magnesium-rich foods include dairy products, fish, meat,
seafood, apples, apricots, brown rice, dulse and lima
beans. Foods containing significant amounts of vitamin
B-12 -- liver, clams, oysters, lamb and cheese -- also
might be beneficial in treating your sciatic nerve pain.

Focus Only on what can be Changed
 Realize
that not everything in life is meant to be modified or
perfectly understood.
Live, let go, learn what you can and don’t waste energy
worrying about the things you can’t change. Focus
exclusively on what you can change, and if you can’t
change something you don’t like, change the way you
think about it.
Review your options and then re-frame what you don’t
like into a starting point for achieving something
better.

Ingredients:
-
3½ lbs. apples, peeled, quartered and cored
1 Tbsp. unsalted sweet butter
-
2-4 Tbsp. (packed) brown sugar
-
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
-
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
-
Pinches of ground cloves and grated nutmeg
-
1 prepared crust for a 9-inch pie (about
10½-inches), preferably whole-wheat
-
1 Tbsp. milk
-
2 tsp. natural cane sugar
|
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat 13-inch x 9-inch
x 2-inch heatproof glass baking dish with cooking
spray and set aside.
-
Cut apples into slices, varying from 1/8-inch to
1/2-inch. In large skillet, melt butter over
medium-high heat. Add sliced apples, stirring to
coat them with butter. Cook until apples look shiny
and wet and thin slices are flexible, about 6
minutes, stirring them well 4 or 5 times. Off heat,
add brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg
and mix well to combine with hot apples. Spread
apples in an even layer in prepared baking dish and
set aside.
-
Following package directions, unroll piecrust on
your work surface. Using sharp knife, cut away
enough on four sides to create a 9-inch square with
rounded corners. Cut the crust crosswise into 3 even
strips. Cut each strip vertically into thirds,
making 9 squares. Keep 8 pieces, discarding a
rounded corner piece. One at a time, lightly run
rolling pin over each square in one direction,
making 4-inch by 3 1/2-inch rectangles and squaring
rounded corner of 3 squares. Re-trim squares to
neaten those that remain uneven in one corner; they
do not need to be perfect. Line up crust pieces in 2
rows of 4 on top of apples in baking dish, leaving a
bit of space between pieces. Brush tip of each
rectangle with milk just to lightly moisten.
Sprinkle sugar evenly over pieces of crust.
-
Bake pie for 30-35 minutes, or until crusts are deep
golden brown and apples are tender but still hold
their shape. Cool to lukewarm or room temperature
before serving. For crisp crust, this pie is best
served the day it is baked.

 Women with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) gain weight more rapidly and are more likely to be overweight or obese, according to researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and Harvard School of Public Health.
The study published online in JAMA Psychiatry showed that, after PTSD symptom onset, women with at least 4 symptoms had a faster rise in BMI (b = 0.08 [SE = 0.02]; P < .001). The onset of at least 4 PTSD symptoms in 1989 or later was also associated with an increased risk of becoming overweight or obese (odds ratio, 1.36 [95% CI, 1.19-1.56]) among women with a normal BMI in 1989. It was concluded that, experience of PTSD symptoms is associated with an increased risk of becoming overweight or obese, and PTSD symptom onset alters BMI trajectories over time.
