Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, a chemical which sends messages from one synapse to another in the brain. Our bodies manufacture many different types of neurotransmitters, whose proper functioning make it possible for our brains to work, and therefore make it possible for us to live our lives.

Serotonin affects most of our brain cells, and plays a role in appetite, cognition, memory, mood, sexual urges and temperature regulation. It also affects our hearts and our muscles, and plays a part in the endocrine (hormonal) system.

The chemical name for serotonin is 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). It is found in the brain stem, and affects many brain functions. It affects the cardiovascular, immune, gastrointestinal and renal (kidney) systems. It stimulates muscles, and sends impulses between nerve cells. Read The Whole Story>>

I came across a news article with the headline “Exercise in a Pill”

I was about to get up on my soapbox and go to town.

With a little further reading, cooler heads have prevailed. Unfortunately for me now I have nothing to rant or rave about.

The article referred to a pill that does work, if you’re a mouse.

Mice that were Sedentary who took the drug for 28 days burned more calories and had less fat than untreated mice. When the mice were tested on a treadmill, they could run about 44 percent farther and 23 percent longer than untreated mice.

So yes they do have it, just not for humans. But their working on it.

Speedy Gonzales is alive.

If you are a pistachio lover, then please make sure you read this post about a pistachio recall by the FDA.

The FDA posted on its FDA.gov site, pistachios traced back to Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc. are now subject to recall.

There are no confirmed cases of salmonella poisoning, both the FDA and Setton Pistachio are urging consumers to avoid consuming products listing pistachios in the ingredient list.

The FDA recognizes that consumers are hungry for information regarding products that may contain suspect pistachios, so they have launched a dedicated page geared toward pistachio recall lists and other pertinent information.

The FDA will provide a searchable list of recalled pistachio products at http://www.fda.gov/pistachios/

The FDA plans to regularly update the pistachio recall information for consumers as it becomes available.

I don’t know about you but I tend to stay away from all brands of any recall until such time as is deemed safe.

19.2 Pound Baby

A woman living in Indonesia has given birth to that country’s biggest baby ever, weighing in at whopping 19.2 pounds.

The baby’s length was 24.4 inches baby, who has yet to be named, was born by caesarean section at a hospital in North Sumatra province.

The “special delivery” was no easy feat was herd being quoted by a gynecologist who participated in the operation

The gynecologist also said that “This heavy baby made the surgery really tough, especially the process of taking him out of the womb. His legs were so big,” Binsar Sitanggang said.

The boy’s huge size was most likely the result of his 41-year-old mother having diabetes, Sitanggang said.

When a diabetic mother’s glucose level is high during pregnancy, the baby can receive too much glucose and grow too large, gynecologists reported.

The mother was rushed to hospital due to complications with the pregnancy, which had reached nine month period.

The baby had to be given oxygen initially to overcome breathing problems but is now doing fine.

Sitanggang described the baby as “extraordinary” in almost every way.

“He’s got a strong appetite, every minute, it’s almost nonstop feeding,” he said. “This baby boy is extraordinary, the way he’s crying is not like a usual baby. It’s really loud.”

All I can say is OMG!
