Acne is a common skin disease that causes pimples. Pimples form when hair follicles under your skin clog up. Most pimples form on the face, neck, back, chest and shoulders. Anyone can get acne, but it is common in teenagers and young adults. It is not serious, but it can cause scars.

No one knows exactly what causes acne. Hormone changes, such as those during the teenage years and pregnancy, probably play a role. There are many myths about what causes acne. Chocolate and greasy foods are often blamed, but there is little evidence that foods have much effect on acne in most people. Another common myth is that dirty skin causes acne; however, blackheads and pimples are not caused by dirt. Stress doesn’t cause acne, but stress can make it worse.

If you have acne

  • Clean your skin gently
  • Try not to touch your skin
  • Avoid the sun

Treatments for acne include medicines and creams.

‘Lil FoodSpook Remembers Fried Chicken

October 28, 2008 · Posted in Diabetes Prevention · 3 Comments 

In the 1950′s WWII was over. People all over the world had to take a breath and realize the war is over. What now? We were faced with another war in Korea. We sent our young men to maintain our vision of democracy in another country. So, what does this have to do with fried chicken? The 1950′s were boom years for America.  President Eisenhower decreed that a national highway system would be built. It was. The highway system created suburbs which in turn, created tract homes and shopping malls.  America was on the fast track to all out consumerism. Fast food restaurants had not taken over Americans eating habits yet. There were many famous burger stops along Highway 99 in California and Route 66 going coast to coast. MacDonald’s hadn’t taken over the country yet. People still ate most of their meals at home.

My Dad was a preacher.  His church was 280 miles from Richmond, California in a town off Highway 99 in the heart of San Joaquin Valley, called Madera. That’s 22 miles north of Fresno. We left Richmond at 5:30 AM on Sunday mornings to drive down Highway 99 to be at Sunday School in Madera by 8:30 AM. My dad drove us up and down that  highway every Sunday morning before daybreak for five years.  On Saturdays my mother would wash a dozen white shirts in a galvanized tub, add the bluing agent and bleach, and then iron them all to a professional finish.  We grew chickens in Richmond.  Most Black families raised their own chickens and some pigs. My mother would ring the necks of three hens on Saturday morning, put them in boiling water to loosen the feathers. She would cut them up and fry them and that would be our Sunday morning snack and lunch at the church. My sisters and I used to chase the chickens around the yard after their necks were snapped and they didn’t know they were dead yet. That was fun for us in Richmond in the 1950′s. My people were right out of the south. Success in working with the land was not a southern acquired life skill, but a lifetime of living skills handed down through our African ancestors brought by them to this alien land.                   

As a kid , I grew up with fried chicken. My mother fixed smothered chicken feet, which cost 29 cents a pound back then. Do you eat chicken feet?  These dishes were really good to eat. Mashed potatoes and gravy was one of my favorites. Collard greens and salt pork was mandatory at least twice a week. This diet was not healthy but it was traditional in Black homes and nobody questioned whether our diet was safe or not. Our health was not an issue. The food industry today is not concerned about anybody’s health. It will package and sell you anything. The F.D.A. is a joke. This government is not  protecting us from our own American food companies,  and now we are  being invaded by poison food products from abroad, like from China. There is a reason for the epidemic of diabetes in this country.  It is NOT an accident of nature!  

My parents were good people.  They pooled all of their energy to raise 7 children. The foods they grew up with in the South was the only food they knew about. My siblings and I were well nourished but not so much nutritionally nourished. I am still alive at age 60. I’m trying to tell you to Not trust adults with your nutrition. If you are young, be a maverick. Try to eat healthy. If you can, do your research and try to convince your parent or parents that you are aware of a different blueprint of living. This is your life. One day the people you know as parents, aunts and uncles, will die. Please think about yourself and your long-run life presence on Earth. A different way of eating can change your life in marvelous ways.

Fried foods are not good for you. Of course one can eat fried chicken on occasion, but not on a frequent basis. People are dying because of the food choices their parents handed down to them. Your parents didn’t know about fast food.  They trusted America and our food industry. What we have learned about food is not enough to offset the bogus advertising we are being bombarded with in the media by the food industry  This is no Joke! You don’t have to live with eating Macdonald’s and Burger King.  Don’t trust our food industry dictate to you and  your children what we should eat. Don’t trust our food industry to regulate itself. It won’t. This industry will sell you as much garbage as they can convince you to buy. My parents only knew nutrition as it was handed down to them from the slavery days. They handed the same eating traditions down to me. People today have access to unlimited information for nutrition and healthy living. Take advantage of this information. Do not take for granted that life will inherently take care of you. That’s a crap shoot. Trust in yourself, do some research and take charge of your future. 

This blog site is dedicated to providing information about avoiding diabetes and maintaining one’s good health. I beg you, do not trust what you see, or listen too about foods in this country. You are being deceived. You can lose your life!

Note From FoodSpook

October 27, 2008 · Posted in Health Information · Comments Off 

In spite of all the life-extending medical break throughs since the 1970′s, today women between the ages of 34 and 45 are experiencing a 30% increase of serious heart attacks as compared to the late 1960′s and early 1970′s. Let’s see, 34 years ago would be 1974, what a coincidence. The fast food industry was just starting to explode during that time. We are now seeing the results of all of those “supersized” fries and Cokes.

Diabetes and Your Feet

October 26, 2008 · Posted in Diabetes Information · Comments Off 

Problems

Take extra care of your feet to prevent injuries.

Nerve damage, circulation problems, and infections can cause serious foot problems for people with diabetes. There’s a lot you can do to prevent problems with your feet. Controlling your blood glucose and not smoking or using tobacco can help protect your feet. You can also take some simple safeguards each day to care for and protect your feet. Over half of diabetes-related amputations can be prevented with regular exams and patient education.

It’s helpful to understand why foot problems happen. Nerve damage can cause you to lose feeling in your feet. Sometimes nerve damage can deform or misshape your feet, causing pressure points that can turn into blisters, sores, or ulcers. Poor circulation can make these injuries slow to heal.


Signs of Foot Problems top

Your feet may tingle, burn, or hurt. You may not be able to feel touch, heat, or cold very well. The shape of your feet can change over time. There may even be changes in the color and temperature of your feet. Some people lose hair on their toes, feet, and lower legs. The skin on your feet may be dry and cracked. Toenails may turn thick and yellow. Fungus infections can grow between your toes. Blisters, sores, ulcers, infected corns, and ingrown toenails need to be seen by your health care provider or foot doctor (podiatrist) right away.


Protecting Your Feet top

Get Your Health Care Provider to Check Your Feet at Least 4 Times a Year

Ask your health care provider to look at your feet at least 4 times a year. As a reminder, take off your shoes and socks when you’re in the exam room. Have your sense of feeling and your pulses checked at least once a year. If you have nerve damage, deformed or misshaped feet, or a circulation problem, your feet need special care. Ask your health care provider to show you how to care for your feet. Also ask if special shoes would help you.Image of a health care provider performing a foot check.

Ask your health care provider to check your feet at least 4 times a year.

Check Your Feet Each Day

You may have serious foot problems yet feel no pain. Look at your feet every day to see if you have scratches, cracks, cuts, or blisters. Always check between your toes and on the bottoms of your feet. If you can’t bend over to see the bottoms of your feet, use a mirror that won’t break. If you can’t see well, ask a family member or friend to help you. Call your health care provider at once if you have a sore on your foot. Sores can get worse quickly.

Wash Your Feet Daily

Be sure to dry between your toes.

Wash your feet every day. Dry them with care, especially between the toes. Don’t soak your feet—it can dry out your skin, and dry skin can lead to infections. Rub lotion or cream on the tops and bottoms of your feet—but not between your toes. Moisture between the toes will let germs grow that could cause an infection. Ask your health care provider for the name of a good lotion or cream.

Trim Your Toenails Carefully

Trim your toenails after you’ve washed and dried your feet—the nails will be softer and safer to cut. Trim the nails to follow the natural curve of your toes. Don’t cut into the corners. Use an emery board to smooth the edges.

If you can’t see well, or if your nails are thick or yellowed, get them trimmed by a foot doctor or another health care provider. Ask your health care provider for the name of a foot doctor. If you see redness around the nails, see your health care provider at once.

Treat Corns and Calluses Gently

Don’t cut corns and calluses. Ask your health care provider how to gently use a pumice stone to rub them. Don’t use razor blades, corn plasters, or liquid corn or callus removers—they can damage your skin.

Protect Your Feet from Heat and Cold

Hot water or hot surfaces are a danger to your feet. Before bathing, test the water with a bath thermometer (90° to 95°F is safe) or with your elbow. Wear shoes and socks when you walk on hot surfaces, such as beaches or the pavement around swimming pools. In summer, be sure to use sunscreen on the tops of your feet.

Wear shoes to protect your feet from hot surfaces.

You also need to protect your feet from the cold. In winter, wear socks and footwear such as fleece-lined boots to protect your feet. If your feet are cold at night, wear socks. Don’t use hot water bottles, heating pads, or electric blankets—they can burn your feet. Don’t use strong antiseptic solutions or adhesive tape on your feet.

Always Wear Shoes and Socks

Wear shoes and socks at all times. Don’t walk barefoot—not even indoors.

Wear shoes that fit well and protect your feet.

Wear shoes that fit well and protect your feet. Don’t wear shoes that have plastic uppers, and don’t wear sandals with thongs between the toes. Ask your health care provider what types of shoes are good choices for you.

New shoes should be comfortable at the time you buy them—don’t expect them to stretch out. Slowly break in new shoes by wearing them only 1 or 2 hours a day.

Always wear socks or stockings with your shoes. Choose socks made of cotton or wool—they help keep your feet dry.

Before you put on your shoes each time, look and feel inside them. Check for any loose objects, nail points, torn linings, and rough areas—these can cause injuries. If your shoes aren’t smooth inside, wear other shoes.

Be Physically Active

Physical activity can help increase the circulation in your feet. There are many ways you can exercise your feet, even during times you’re not able to walk. Ask your health care team about things you can do to exercise your feet and legs.

For more information on foot care, call the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse at 1-800-860-8747.

Healthy Breakfast Recipes, Change Your Life

There is a alternative way of eating. We all want to be healthy, so give yourself a chance. Healthy eating has now become a acquired habit. Meaning that unhealthy eating has become the norm. We must fight a food system that does not care about our health. We must understand why American people are the most obese people on the planet. We MUST look at our diets.

Raw Food = Weight Loss

October 25, 2008 · Posted in Diabetes and Diet · Comments Off 

I believe in the power of living food. I try to design most of my cooking with that premise in mind. People tell me I look 10 or 15 years younger that my real age. The rewards of changing your diet are real, positive, and immediate. Your life will change. Please note, in this video, one “stone” equals 14 pounds. Example, 21 stone equals 294 pounds.
