Feeding Vegan Dogs (with recipes!)

As explained in Good Nutrition for Healthy Vegan Dogs, vegan caregivers can be confident that its possible to feed your canine friends a nutritionally-complete plant-based diet. With some basic awareness of dog nutrition and a little help from the remarkable products that are available on the current market, its easy to keep animal-based foods out of your dogs meals.Journalist and author Julia Szabo spent 11 years writing the Pets column for the Sunday New York Post, and is now the author of the Dogster.com columnLiving With Dogs.Many dog lovers firmly believe that dogs absolutely need meat to thrive. And I confess I used to be one of them until I discovered that one of the most vibrantly healthy dogs I know is a vegetarian Piggy runs at least two to three miles a day on weekdays, and on the weekends he can run easily six or seven miles a day. The most hes ever run is 30 miles in one weekend.And thats on only three legs, folks. This rescued stray from the Dominican Republic gets around without the use of his fourth limb, which was shattered when he was hit by a car. On his diet of vegan kibble, Piggy went from being a scrawny, scraggly, hairless, emaciated puppy weighing under 20 lbs, to being one of the most outgoing, charismaticdogs on the Central Park scene. Tod Emko, his vegan caregiver, describes him as 45 lbs of solid muscle.

Red Wine Reduced Breast Cancer Cells

Italian researchers from the University of Calabria say they demonstrated how a key ingredient in red wine inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cells . Resveratrol is the ingredient they say might be useful in the treatment of breast cancer, in addition to primary therapies. In their experiment resveratrol was applied to different cells and compared to cells that received no treatment. The cells receiving resveratrol showed a decrease in growth. A large reduction in estrogen receptor levels was believed to be related to the inhibition of the breast cancer cells. Their research study was published in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies forExperimental Biology. These findings are exciting, but in no way does it mean that should people go out and start using red wine or resveratrol supplements as a treatment for breast cancer, said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief. (Source: ScienceDaily.com ) He said the research is more about the potential of resverat

Get Married, Live Longer?

Written by Jessica Cruel for YourTango.com New research shows that getting married could lengthen your life for up to 17 years .A study published in The American Journal Of Epidemiology reveals that single men have a 32 percent higher chance of death than married men across a lifetime. That means they could die eight to 17 years before the average married man of loneliness? Single women fare a bit better: They have a 23 percent (or about seven to 15 years) lower life expectancy compared to their married peers. This data is based on 90 studies of around 500 million people compiled over the last 60 years by researchers at the University of Louisville: No small feat. Younger singles face greater chances of early death. The risk of death for 30 to 39-year-old singles was 128 percent higher than for married people of the same age. On the other hand, 70-year-old singles only had a 16 percent higher risk of death. Perhaps its because theyve survived a single youth and emerged unscathed. These
