Careful your Favorite Part of Holiday Meals

It's the side dishes, not the turkey, that make your mouth water, right? Unfortunately, while turkey is a lean, healthful food, traditional sides can expand our own sides if we're not careful. So, I took the challenge to devise slimmer versions of your favorites: green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, scalloped potatoes, and Waldorf salad.

I'm proud to say my testers couldn't tell the difference between my renditions and the original high-fat, high-sodium versions of these beloved recipes.

I ditched the greasy canned onion rings that usually crown a rich green bean casserole in favor of real onion rings topped with walnuts, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs. The result? All the crunch with none of the guilt.

I sweetened my Cranberry Orange Sauce with Splenda instead of sugar and added zip with flavorful orange zest, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.

This year, there's no need to forgo creamy Scalloped Potatoes. My version, as filling and satisfying as you remember, trims them down using 1 percent milk, a whole lot less butter, and just a small amount of cheese. For a buttery natural flavor, try Yukon Gold potatoes.

And finally, Waldorf Salad always a favorite. I've slimmed it down with reduced fat mayonnaise and added nonfat sour cream for richness. With its immensely satisfying, crunchy, and healthful apples, celery, and walnuts, this is definitely a keeper for your holiday menu.

Gene Therapy treats Parkinson's

Brain
Nerve cell activity was dampened down by the therapy
An experimental form of gene therapy for Parkinson's disease has been shown to produce promising results.

US scientists treated 12 patients with a virus genetically modified to carry a human gene which dampens down the nerve cells over-excited by Parkinson's.

Now brain scans have revealed significant improvements - which were still present a year later.

The study, led by the University of New York, features in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

However, the work is still at an early stage. The main aim was to test whether the therapy was safe. Scientists delivered the gene only to one side of the brain - that which controls movement on the side of the body most affected by Parkinson's - to reduce the potential risk.

It makes an inhibitory chemical called GABA that turns down the activity in a key part of the pathway which controls movement.

Motor network changes

The US team tested the impact of the therapy by using a form of brain imaging known as positron emission tomography (PET) to track changes in the brain. They focused on two discrete brain networks - one that regulates movement, and another that affects thinking processes.

Only the motor networks were altered by the therapy - but this was all the researchers had hoped for.

The scans showed that the motor network on the untreated side of the body got worse, and that on the treated side got better. The improvement was reflected in an improvement in patients' symptoms.

They began to show signs of improvement one month after starting therapy, and by six months movement had improved by an average of 30%. One patient registered an improvement of 65%.

The brain scans also showed those patients who received the highest dose of the gene therapy registered the longest-lasting effect.

Lead researcher Dr David Eidelberg said: "Having this information from a PET scan allows us to know that what we are seeing is real.

"This study demonstrates that PET scanning can be a valuable marker in testing novel therapies for Parkinson's disease." Parkinson's, which affects around 120,000 people in the UK, is caused by the loss of brain cells, which leads to a drop in chemicals required to regulate cell activity, and the connections they make with their neighbours.

Dr Kieran Breen, of the Parkinson's Disease Society, said the disease was likely to be caused by a mix of genetic and environmental factors. "Because of this, there are many potential ways to treat or cure Parkinson's, and gene therapy is one potential route holding a lot of promise," he said.

"This study is important as it suggests that it was the therapy itself, rather than a placebo effect, that was having a positive impact on patients' symptoms." Dr David Eidelberg, lead researcher on BBC News

How do you know if you have depression?

There are some things that really stand out which can help you decide if a depressions is going on. It involves your mood, your thoughts, your appetite, your sleep, and your feelings of self esteem.

It's not just the blahs or the blues. Everybody has e few days or more when they feel down and sad. This is different. It's not like the normal experience of sadness you have when things go wrong or when you are disappointed and hurt.

This is an emotional pit you've fallen into which affects your family, your job, and your whole life. It's horrible feeling op hopelessness of failure, of knowing that there is no way to make things better. You actually do drag your self along, going through the motions of home and work, thingking that you would rather hide in a cave and avoid everyone.

If you are depressed you cannot 'just get it together'. And it tnds to get worse, not better. If you don't get treatment, this can last for months or even years.

Why put yourself through something this awful when the right medication can get you back on track, able to feel better quickly. This the point of what we will learn for fight depressions next.

It is especially appealing in the wake of some alarming findings on popular prescription medications which resulted in them being pulled from shelves due to health hazards.

While one should still approach alternative medicine with caution and thorough research, natural cures, remedies and herbal preparations still should be considered when researching the best options for treating various physical ailments that impact your quality of life. Still regarded with some skepticism in the medical community, there are undeniably some truly remarkable and tangible benefits to be garnered from herbal preparations, as testified by many users of the array of natural health products available today.

Users of these herbal preparations and remedies most commonly are those who are health conscious, have had adverse reactions to traditional medications, or just have a holistic mindset and approach to their mental and physical health, longevity and proactivity in prevention.

With its increasing popularity and recognition, you are likely to see a rising number of new product offerings and also an increase in companies willing to put more money into research and development of new natural health products as their demand increases.
