So, are collagen supplements worth the investment?
That depends on your goal. Collagen supplements appear to be effective for improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and minimizing the appearance of cellulite. Research also supports their use for reducing joint pain, stiffness, and degeneration. However, the evidence is not convincing for collagen supplements when it comes to treating hair loss, brittle nails, osteoporosis, periodontitis, gastrointestinal disorders, heart disease, and liver disease.
To see the benefits of collagen peptides, you need 2.5 grams daily. The rest of your protein should come from quality sources such as grass-fed beef, free-range poultry and eggs, lean pork raised without hormones, wild-caught salmon, and other low-mercury fish and seafood. Vegans should choose minimally-processed soy products, beans, peas, lentils, and whole grains.
If you think celery is only good for lowering blood pressure, think again! On the other hand, if you already enjoy celery in your diet, you’re lowering your risk of cancer.
Celery contains compounds that help repel cancer cells! You read that right… eating celery is a natural cancer preventative!
The extensive health benefits of celery might surprise you. This plant has been known for its medicinal properties since the 9th century.
It belongs to the Apiaceae (also known as Umbelliferae) family which includes parsley, carrots, fennel, coriander, parsnips, cumin, and others.
Though celery is an excellent anti-cancer food, its numerous health benefits make it a perfect choice for your healthy diet. The celery plant is naturally rich in vitamins and minerals such as: A, C, K, folate, molybdenum, potassium, fiber, and other healthy components.

Eat Celery to Improve Your Health
By: Roosie Buzz
Great article about celery. Find out the benefits of this great vegetable plus ways how you can add more celery to your diet.
The
reason celery is so low in calories is because it is so high in water
content. Fresh, light green celery with glossy ribs is the best for
eating. Celery is truly economical; all parts of the plant are edible
and one cup contains only about twenty calories. There is no waste. It’s
a great food and has a number of known health benefits. Celery
can provide a sense of calmness. It can also help lower blood pressure.
People with gout should be fans of celery because it lowers uric acid.
Drinking fresh celery juice is said to reduce appetite. Taken before a
meal it may help with weight loss. People seldom think of celery
as a real food in and of itself. In today’s culinary world, celery is
used as a seasoning, a garnish or a snack, but Hippocrates considered it
a medicine and recommended it for kidney health. High in calcium
and Vitamin C, celery should be a part of your daily diet. It is an
excellent finger food and best when eaten raw. Avoid the large, fibrous
bottom ends and for best flavor, store celery in a part of the
refrigerator where it won’t freeze.
One of the complaints about
celery is that it is boring and the flavor tends to be bitter. Celery
ribs make perfect little boats for holding more flavorful fare. Fill
them with peanut butter and pair with an apple and a serving of cottage
cheese for a light but tasty breakfast. They are excellent when used for
dipping sticks with egg salad or chicken salad. An individual serving
removes the dislike of "double dipping." Celery is delicious with a
variety of cheeses and makes a perfect boat for pimento spread. Chunks
of celery, apple, pineapple, walnuts and chicken can be combined with a
light mayonnaise for a quick and easy salad. Chunks of havarti cheese
make a good substitute for chicken when you feel like a meatless salad.
This salad can be served with or without addition of lettuce. Celery
seed is an excellent addition to any salad. The intensity of its flavor
may surprise you. It adds a real kick to any cold seafood dish. If
you are fortunate enough to have a juicer, blend celery, carrots, apple
and tomato for a bright flavorful juice. Seasoned with a touch of salt
and lemon, it makes a great mid-afternoon snack.For those who wish to
eat more celery on a regular basis, it can be added to any soup or
vegetable dish. Celery can also be grilled. A light spray of
olive oil and it is ready for the grill. Don’t overcook it and serve
with lemon, pepper and a dollop of low fat sour cream. A few stalks of
fresh celery and a little imagination will brighten up your daily food
intake.

In this article I would like to
lay the foundation for a new workout I have been making great progress
with. Every person that has used this workout has put on an amazing
amount of size as well as strength gains like nothing before. After turning 40 and believing that the best was behind me I proved
myself and anyone who thinks 40 means it's downhill ... well baby,
lookout! Not only did I compete successfully at the semi-pro football
level the last couple of years (I just turned 43 in Aug), but I also
lifted weight in exercises that were from 10-15 years ago—I benched 500
lbs for 3 reps, did a single with close to 600 lbs, did squats with 600
lbs for sets of 6, and inclined well over 400 lbs for reps! I know what your thinking, Mitch hooked up with the gym doc and
started a cycle of those secret supps. Oh ye of little faith! I did
supplement with creatine, NO2 and tribulus
as well as a good weight gainer. However, the biggest change was in my
workouts. I was starting to feel it in my joints as well as just not
getting the results I expected! After some serious prayer and contemplation I felt inspired to write
out a new program. After the initial pouring out of the workout itself I
was surprised at the simplicity and common sense that went hand-in-hand
with this workout.
I will lay out basic sets and reps, but first a little common sense
explanation. Most of the time we blast a body part or two and wait a
number of days before we do it again. The problem is that it is such a
guessing game of just how long we need to wait after one particular body
part in order for the next time we hit that area for it to be
effective. The uniqueness of this workout is that no major body part is killed
in any one day, instead it is hit over a few days in succession. The
larger body parts (legs, chest, back) are usually done over two days.
Whereas arms, for example, are done over several days so they can be
killed but not OVER KILLED for max gains. I am also a football coach and
our strength training program is using this workout right now. I have several young men making great gains as well as many women in
my gym. Try this workout for at least 4 months and then take a short
break (a few weeks) from the high intensity training before continuing. Click here to view the workout........
Conclusion
"I'm sure I'll receive plenty of emails on the fine tuning aspects,
just remember to use the first 12 as a good warm-up and increase weight
to a point of near failure for each set after - The last 12 should be
10-20% heavier than the first set of 12. Good luck and may the Lord
bless all your efforts!" -Mitch Hodge "The Hammer"

Newly released body camera footage shows Arrest of Bernad Kersh the schizophrenic man who, police say, spat in an officer’s face before he was body-slammed to sidewalk.
Police were giving Kersh a ticket for drinking on the corner of 79th and Cottage Grove Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The officer who performed the body slam, Jerald Williams, is an MMA fighter. Kersh who suffers from schizophrenia, was initially charged with aggravated battery of peace officer, misdemeanor counts of assault and resisting arrest, as well as a count of drinking alcohol in public. Officer Williams was relieved of his police duties. A second officer also had his police powers stripped.
Civil society flourishes when its
people – young or old, black or white or brown – can trust that justice
will be dispensed without fear or favor.
The American criminal
justice system presently is broken, and an example of justice run amok.
The system has deteriorated to a point whereby innocent people are being
imprisoned even with the lack of sufficient evidence. For the real
criminals, punishments are often not commensurate with the crime.
Presently, many non-violent offenders serve more time behind bars than
murderers, rapists, and armed robbers. Consequently, the criminal
justice system does more harm than good – destroying lives, shattering
dreams and crushing hopes and aspirations for happiness.
Being
the world’s largest democracy is supposed to make America a faithful
steward of the fairest and finest legal system the world has ever known.
However, the U.S. legal system runs counter to traditional American
core values. 25% of total global prisoners reside in the U.S. even
though America is only about 3% of the world’s population. About 7
million are now under some form of penal supervision, and roughly 100
million people have criminal records. Presently, the U.S. lead
the world in highest prison population, longest prison time, most
business deals for contractors and lobbyists, and highest recidivism
rate. The credo of legal jurisprudence in any civilized
dispensation is that the accused is presumed innocent until proven
guilty by a competent jurisdiction. However, in the United States of
America, the reverse is the case due to its misguided penal policies.
Under normal circumstances, obeying the law is enough to shield anyone
from trouble. Unfortunately, the current dispensation is hardly normal
and being careful in private or public life does not insulate against
being caught in the cobweb of the numerous laws and regulations that are
the hallmarks of the criminal justice system. Stories of prosecutorial
abuse run like a horror movie and the fear of prosecutors "is the
beginning of wisdom." They take to the extreme the dangerous impulse to
punish perceived offenders – real or imagined. Prosecutors have enormous
power and discretion to pick and choose who goes to jail and who does
not. Reports of unwarranted arrests, police brutality, senseless
prosecutions, and mass incarceration are a commonplace to the extent
that the country’s legal system is teetering dangerously towards a
precipice. The visible signs of pain and anguish can be seen in
many families devastated by the imprisonment of a loved one and the
so-called respect for human rights can only be thought of in comparative
terms. The lack of a guilty mind no longer matters in criminal cases in
U.S. courts. As a result, the nation has drifted from the core
foundations and principles on which the Union was built, which add up to
one concept and one word: freedom. In the context of the nation’s
criminal justice system, this "American Creed" lies in tatters.
Although lawmakers can do more to remedy the situation, because of
political expediency, the legislative arm of government continue to
enact laws and regulations that criminalize harmless acts. While
many of us believe that it is the responsibility of the government to
punish criminals for public safety and security, and the fact that
society has a right to demand punishment for wrongdoers, however, this
fundamental tenet must operate within a justice system that is equal and
fair. Punishment must fit the crime, and the innocent must not suffer
unjustly for crimes not committed. There is no justification for
mass incarceration; it could no longer be defended morally. America
needs a more rational and sensible justice system, one that is fair – a
people’s justice system – that all can trust to protect them while
punishing offenders appropriately and ensuring that innocent people are
not unfairly prosecuted or imprisoned. Only a reformed justice system
can give practical meaning to the noble ideals on which the nation was
founded. A commonsense approach to the criminal justice system in
American might someday be possible, but not anytime soon given the
interplay of politics and business within it. In my book,
American Criminal Justice System, Inc: Rogue Criminal Prosecution in an
Era of Mass Incarceration, I presented compelling arguments of how
government prosecutors and their cronies use crazy laws, plea bargain,
false witnesses and other unwholesome tactics to oppress its people.
With so many locked up, the United States has become a nation that feeds
on its own.

Naturally Cancer is Curable But Only Naturally
By: Alan Wighton
Cancer is a wake up call; it’s your
body telling you that you’ve done something wrong so your focus has to
be to correct the reasons which caused it to appear. We have been
brainwashed today into believing that cancer has appeared because of
chance or bad luck and must be removed quickly or it will spread. That
is not true. What the body needs is to address the reasons why it grew
in the first place and that can only be achieved naturally.
Over
the years there have been many false claims about cancer, the biggest
one is that it needs to be removed quickly, regardless of the side
effects of the treatment. What you won’t be told is that you need to
make some changes, especially dietary ones to stop it from spreading
because that’s when it becomes a killer. Just removing it by surgery,
radiation or chemotherapy won’t stop it spreading to another location
and that’s why so many people are dying of the disease.
Learn
about cancer, especially its causes because there can never be a real
cure until you remove its causes. The best doctor you have is inside
your own body and it’s called the immune system. It’s a known fact that
all cancers are a result of an immune system that wasn’t functioning
properly and allowed cancer cells to develop so that has to be your
first priority. Strengthen your immune system.
Everybody except
the patient is doing well now days in the business of treating cancer
and the current methods are appallingly ineffective. The reasons being
they focus solely on the growths themselves and the growths are not the
problem. They’re only a symptom of the problem. The definition of a
symptom is an indication that something is wrong and it’s the whole body
where the problem is.
Our mainstream medical professionals
don’t support natural treatments because they are trained by the
pharmaceutical industry. These industries are one of the most powerful
and profitable businesses in the world and because there is money
involved, is the reason why you won’t be told about simple ways to heal
the body of cancer naturally. Do you think these industries really want
someone to come along with an inexpensive natural non toxic effective
cure?
For years we have been told there is no relationship
between nutrition and cancer whereas today we know with certainty that
what we eat or what we don’t eat causes cancer. Good wholesome food
based on a plant based diet will build up the immune system whereas
unwholesome food or junk food weakens the immune system. The human body
has the capacity to self heal when the immune system is functioning
properly.
It’s poor diets, our sedentary lifestyle and a toxic
overload which has caused the problem and there is never going to be a
pill to solve that. You can’t drug the body back to health and burning
the body with radiation won’t help either. Both of these treatments
weaken the immune system. They may shrink some of the cancer growths but
long term that doesn’t solve the problem.
The way to be cancer
free is to get involved and learn about it so you can make changes,
especially to a plant based diet which is packed with all kinds of anti
cancer substances, many of them more powerful and effective than any
drug. The body’s ability to heal itself is remarkable.

Virginia Union Panthers Outlast Bowie State's Bulldogs 82-71
BOWIE, Md. - Bowie State suffered an 82-71 loss to
conference foe Virginia Union inside the A.C. Jordan Arena before a live
ESPN3 audience on Thursday evening. The loss dropped the Bulldogs to
13-9 this season, 5-4 in conference play and
1-1 within the division. The victory pushed the Panthers to 12-10
overall, 5-4 in conference play and 2-2 North.
“We weren’t deserving on winning tonight … They
outworked us, they out fought us, they outrebounded us and I tip my hat
to them”, said Bowie State Head Coach Darrell Brooks.
Bowie State started the game slow as Virginia Union
jumped to a quick 13-1 lead at the 17:22 mark. But the Bulldogs chipped
away at the Panthers lead and eventually tied the game at 27 apiece at
the 6:05 mark. The score for the remainder
of the period stayed close as Bowie State finally took the 37-36 lead
going into halftime.
Unlike the first half, Bowie State controlled the
lead for most of the period. They held it up until the 6:39 mark, when
Virginia Union’s Terrell Leach converted on a layup to put the Panthers
up, 64-62. With Leach going on a scoring rampage
in the second half, the Bulldogs were unable to recapture its lead and
eventually saw the game slip out of their hands.
Senior David Belle (Hyattsville, Md.), who scored
his 1,000th career point at the 6:34 mark in the first half, led the
Bulldogs in scoring with 17 points. Senior Juwan Smith (Lexington Park,
Md.) followed up with 13 points. Junior Justin
Route (Washington D.C.) added 12 points while seniors Cameron Haynes
(Upper Marlboro, Md.) and Saiquan Jamison (Upper Marlboro, Md.) scored
10 points each.
Virginia Union was led by Leach who scored 30
points on 8-of-14 shooting from the field. Raemaad Wright added 21
points and Jordan Peebles followed up with 12 points.
For the game, Virginia Union shot 55 percent
(30-of-55) from the field, 27 percent (3-of-11) behind the 3-point line
and made 73 percent (19-of-26) of its free throws. The Panthers
dominated inside, outscoring the Bulldogs 50-22 in the
paint.
Bowie State shot 39 percent (24-of-61) from the
field, 41 percent (10-of-24) from long-distance and made 54 percent
(13-of-24) of its free throws. The Bulldogs held advantages in points
off turnovers (19-16) and bench points (26-12).
On Saturday (2/1), Bowie State will look to get
back into the win column against Virginia State University, in another
conference matchup at home.
Bulldog Women’s Basketball Topples Nationally Ranked Virginia Union 49-44
BOWIE, Md. –
Junior
Talanya Hutton (Seat Pleasant, MD) did a little bit of everything for
the Bulldogs as the team beat rivals Virginia Union 49-44 on Thursday
evening. The third-year player scored team-high 17
points while Shameka McNeill led the Virginia Union Lady Panthers in
scoring with 13 points. Bowie State improves to 17-3, (7-2 CIAA / 1-1
North) while Virginia Union dips to 16-3 overall, 7-2 in league play and
2-2 in the division.
Bowie State
played
some tough defense and a balanced offensive attack to claim the win. As
a team, the Bulldogs held the Lady Panthers to shooting just 33.3
percent (17-of-51) from the
floor while shooting only 28.6 percent (14-of-49) from the floor in the
game.
The
Lady Panthers took control of the game early in the first quarter by
going on a 7-0 run. McNeill hot start gave
VUU a 10-1 lead after knocking down a deep three at 7:11. VUU pulled
away 14-6 after Ifunanya Okoye’s layup with 2:22 remaining. However, the
Bulldogs allowed the Lady Panthers to close the quarter with a pair of
free throws to stay ahead, 18-9.
The
second quarter had a similar look as the Bulldogs were slow to get
started. VUU’s Breonn Hughey deep ball took
the Lady Panthers lead to 22-13 at the 5:21 mark. However, BSU would
fight back to keep the game close. Senior Dynaisha Christian’s
(Pocomoke, Md.) layup made the score 22-20 before Okoye answered with a
layup of her own. The Panthers ended the period on top
27-22 after Hughey went 1-2 at the charity stripe.
Bowie
State made the third stanza the most competitive even though they were
outscored 12-11. Hutton’s deep ball cut
the deficit to 27-25 before sophomore Drew Calhoun (New Carrollton,
Md.) tied it at 29-all with a three of her own with 7:03 to go. The Lady
Panthers would however regain control late in the quarter after
McNeill’s layup pushed the lead to 39-33 to end the
period.
Although
the Bulldogs were outscored 22-14 in the paint, they held an advantage
in points off turnover 22-16 after
forcing 24 Lady Panthers’ turnovers. Bowie State Senior Shawnkia
McCallum (Baltimore, Md.) opened the period with a three pointer at the
5:42 mark. Both teams would go back and forth throughout the quarter
with Bowie State grabbing its first lead at 45-44
after Christian’s layup with just 17 seconds remaining in the contest.
From there, the Bulldogs would close out the Panthers to capture the
victory.
Bowie State returns to action Saturday (2/1) hosting Virginia State University. Tipoff is slated for 2:00 p.m.
Throughout the month, Target is also shining a spotlight
on products from black-owned businesses that are carried in our stores
year-round. One-third of the Black History Month products are from
black-owned businesses, including Lip Bar and Alikay Naturals, and more than half are exclusive to Target. This year’s Black History Month marketing campaign, Black Beyond Measure,
also features black entrepreneurs and Target team members. The campaign
name was designed to amplify success stories and celebrate blackness,
an uplifting sentiment to empower future generations.
Target’s African American Business Council, which includes more than
1,000 team members, was the driving force behind creating the assortment
five years ago and continues to advise our teams on the collection. The
team spent months creating meaningful events at our Minneapolis
headquarters to help educate and engage team members, as well as
celebrate our vendors. Dozens of members of the Target team have had a hand in bringing this
year’s collection, campaign and celebrations to life. Here are three of
our team members on what the month, and Target’s efforts, means to
them:
Melanie Gatewood, Director of Multicultural Merchandise, Minneapolis On putting together this year’s assortment: “The
process started by looking at the items that truly resonated with our
guests in last year’s assortment – both on social media as well as from a
sales perspective. The items that were most impactful last year were
the ones that highlighted individuals with lasting legacies – this is
where the theme, Black Beyond Measure, came from. The entire
team of more than 20 team members came together to build an assortment
that represented as many definitions of success as possible – including
stories from entrepreneurs, artists, activists, poets, chefs and more.” Melanie’s favorite finds: “Personally, I love Mambo Sauce.
Growing up in Baltimore, I would visit my sister in D.C. often, and
Mambo Sauce is one of those nostalgic items that reminds me of those
visits. Guests continue to love the names T-shirts. The Rosa Parks and Katherine Johnson dolls are hits too.” On the month’s meaning: “Black History Month is two
things to me. First, it is a moment to take pride in the amazing
accomplishments and perseverance of the Black community – especially
those untold stories. Second, it is a moment to reflect on my role in
furthering the legacy and impact of Black culture. As it pertains to
this assortment, that came through in the blending of items that pay
homage to those who came before us with items that allow us to take
ownership of driving Black history. A perfect example of this is the ‘I
Am Black History’ t-shirt. It’s true – I am a part of Black history
every day.”
Erica Anderson, Store Director, Atlanta On putting the assortment front-and-center: “When
guests come up the escalators into my store, the Black History Month
assortment is directly in front of them. I love how it’s one of the
first things they see from the entrance. We’ve gotten a lot of positive
feedback from guests, including how easy it is to find products from the
assortment, the cool in-store marketing that features black
entrepreneurs and the various options of clothing for the whole family.” Guest love: “Our guests’ excitement for this
collection is priceless! Recently, a mother came in to shop the
collection with her two daughters and they were looking at the
‘Inventors’ tee. The daughters were going back and forth naming black
inventors and guessing what he or she invented. I found myself joining
in with them and having a great time, in awe of their knowledge.” On the month’s meaning: “Black History Month is a
celebration to me. It’s a month of acknowledging and celebrating our
achievements. I personally adore Target’s assortment and our work with
black business owners. Each year, the assortment gets bigger and better
and our guests are loving it!”
Kellen Axen, Senior Manager of Reporting and Insights, Minneapolis Partnering with vendors: I was part of the team that brought Roundel—Target’s
media company—into our Black History Month work. From a marketing
perspective, I’m most proud of how we partnered with our vendors this
year. Here on Roundel, we work closely with a number of amazing vendors,
and we invited them to celebrate Black History Month together with us.
It makes total sense: These brands have really amazing stories to tell
too. A special shirt: “The ‘I am Black History’ shirt
from the assortment has real significance to me. Being biracial, I
struggled for a long time with my identity. I let other people tell me
that I wasn’t ‘black enough’, and I believed them. It took me all too
long to realize that you can’t let those people define who you are. For
me, that shirt represents the decision I’ve made to embrace all of who I
am. I come from a long line of black success stories, and I’m here
because of them. I am Black History, and I’m proud of that.” On the month’s meaning: “To me, Black History Month
is about celebrating the legacy of those who have come before you. I
think about my mom and dad, and the courage it took to be a mixed race
couple less than 20 years after that became legal in the US. I think
about my grandpa, a published author and educator who served in Korea
and went on to get his PhD. I think about my grandma, who raised nine
children and had an advanced degree herself. I think about the obstacles
they overcame, and the values they passed on to me. I think of how I’m
working to make things better for my two little girls. I’m proud to be a
part of this long legacy. That’s why I love being able to contribute to
this assortment, because it matters that kids can see representation of
themselves when they walk into our stores.” Learn more................

We’re all familiar with fear in some form. At some
point, we’ve all felt afraid in a situation in which we found ourselves.
It has the capacity to shut us down and paralyze us from moving forward
in our Christian walk. Thankfully, God’s Word equips us to fight fear
and win. Even just the thought of fighting against something all by ourselves
can scare us. However, we’re never alone when we ask God to walk with us
in scary situations. He’s more than willing to do so. “Be strong and
of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy
God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake
thee” (Deuteronomy 31:6). Nothing, no matter how big or frightening it seems to us, is bigger than God. The world doesn’t understand fear. Caution helps us avoid dangerous
situations, like a car speeding toward us or an out-of-control fire;
however, fear can turn on us. Fear stops us from fulfilling our mission
in life; it isn’t from God, but from our enemy. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). As Christians, we don’t have to tolerate it. Believing the love God
has for us gives us the strength to conquer our worst fears. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment…”
(1 John 4:18). This isn’t to say we’ll never feel afraid—that’s part of
being human. However, standing on God’s Word when fear threatens us
gives us authority over it. Jesus is well aware of this emotion. At the end of His earthly
ministry, the thought of His impending crucifixion brought on great
distress. “He took Peter, James, and John with him. He plunged into a
sinkhole of dreadful agony. He told them, ‘I feel bad enough right now
to die…’” (Mark 14:33, MSG). He handled it by praying and continuing
to move forward. Likewise, staying connected to God through prayer, and
leaning on Him to help us continue moving forward, lets Him move us out
of the situation. Fear is rooted in disbelief. God wants the best for us, but when
trouble strikes, the opportunity to doubt what He says surfaces. When
the ruler of the synagogue asked Jesus to heal his ill daughter but she
died before His arrival, Jesus had to reassure the man. “While he yet
spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which
said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler
of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe” (Mark 5:35, 36). Our faith in what God wants for us pushes out all fear. Some people are so fearful, they feel trapped in their negative
emotions and don’t know which way to go. When we’re in too deep and
can’t get out, God meets us where we are and rescues us. All we need to
do is call to Him for help. “I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4). God cares deeply about us and every little detail of our lives. He’s
already beaten fear. Trusting Him allows us to share in that same
victory. For more on conquering fear, click on the link below for the CD
