New App Is Helping Feed Hundreds Of Thousands Of Homeless People

When UC Berkeley student Komal Ahmad invited a homeless man to lunch three years ago, she was inspired to create an app that would change the lives of hundreds of thousands living on the streets.

When the man asked her for money for food, she took him to lunch instead and learned of his time as a soldier in Iraq.

“He’d already gone on two deployments and now he’s come back, he’s 26 and on the side of the road begging for food,” Ahmad said. “It just blew my mind.”

Shortly after her experience, she began an initiative at Berkeley to donate uneaten food from the university’s dining halls to local homeless shelters.

The program was so successful that in three years, it has spread to over 140 colleges around the country.

Have You Had Any Of These Symptoms, If So, Get To A Doctor Immediately

Heart disease (which includes heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases) is the number one cause of death in the United States; estimates for 2011 indicate nearly 787,000 people died.

 The outcome of a heart attack can range from slightly debilitating, requiring surgery and therapy for a full recovery, all the way to death.

A heart attack is the result of the oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart muscle becoming blocked.

If this blood flow cannot be restored quickly, the heart muscle starts to spasm and die, which leads to this serious medical emergency.

So many external and internal conditions can combine to create heart disease problems. The rising daily stress levels and often irregular hours of an individual’s chosen lifestyle today can increase the risk for heart disease.

Breaking: America’s 51st State Goes Broke…

This week the Puerto Rico government declared its intent to default on “all or most” of its $72 billion dollar debt.

Puerto Rico Governor,  Alejandro García Padilla, a longtime avid supporter of President Barack Obama, called the island nation’s financial crisis a matter basic math.

In addition to his role as governor of Puerto Rico, Padilla is also a prominent member of  the American Democratic Party.

Puerto Rico’s current crisis has been some time in the making. For decades the island nations embarked on a progressive model of “spend now and pay later” form of government.

As the size of the Puerto Rico government inevitably expanded, its private sector contracted and so too did the tax base necessary to pay for all of the nation’s exorbitant public sector spending. And as its debt rate increased, so too did its poverty and crime rates.

Top 10 Alkaline Foods To Add To Your Daily Diet (Video)

If you are about to begin an alkaline diet, approximately 80 percent of your meals should consist of alkaline foods.

The 20% left can be made up of acidic foods.

A food’s PRAL score, or potential renal acid load, determines whether it’s defined as alkaline or acidic. A positive PRAL indicates a food is acidic.

These include grains, dairy products, meat, poultry and seafood. Foods with a negative PRAL are alkaline and include most plant-based products.

A scientific review published in the “Journal of Environmental and Public Health” in 2012 suggests that a diet based heavily on alkaline foods can benefit your health, but more research is needed.

Your top 10 best choices for highly alkaline foods could be parsley, basil, dill weed, dried apricots, dehydrated bananas, beet greens, Swiss chard, spinach, coffee and wine.

Amazing Food Science Discovery: Edible Plants ‘Talk’ To Animal Cells, Promote Healing

A groundbreaking new study published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research titled, “Interspecies communication between plant and mouse gut host cells through edible plant derived exosome-like nanoparticles,” reveals a new way that food components ‘talk’ to animal cells by regulating gene expression and conferring significant therapeutic effects.

With the recent discovery that non-coding microRNA’s in food are capable of directly altering gene expression within human physiology, this new study further concertizes the notion that the age old aphorism ‘you are what you eat’ is now consistent with cutting edge molecular biology.

Exosomes: The ‘Missing Link’ In How Plants and Animal Cells Communicate and Collaborate

This is the first study of its kind to look at the role of exosomes, small vesicles secreted by plant and animal cells that participate in intercellular communication, in interspecies (plant-animal) communication.

The Big Economic Bomb (Video)

The global economic status is at the cusp of major changes and with the fast tracking of the TTP, Trans-Pacific Partnership the changes could kill the middle class and leave the economy in a tail spin.

The TPP is a proposed regional regulatory and investment treaty.

As of 2014, twelve countries throughout the Asia Pacific region have participated in negotiations on the TPP: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam.

 In the video below, Dave Kranzler from Investment Research Dynamics.com is back to discuss the treachery of the United States Congress and Senate who have betrayed the American people once again by approving the fast tracking of the TPP, which Dave says is the death nail for the American middle class.

Finger-Prick Test Can Diagnose Ebola As Easily As A Pregnancy Test

A new mobile Ebola test can detect the virus using a single drop of blood and reports a positive or negative result in under 15 minutes.

When the ReEBOV test was applied in the field, it identified 100 percent of all infected patients who also got positive results with the lab test.

Coupled with other recent advances in the fight against Ebola, like antiviral vaccines, the new test will help prevent another outbreak and hopefully contain the virus for good.
