    An Apple A Day May Keep Cholesterol Away

    April 15, 2011 by Personal Liberty News Desk


    In a randomized trial of 160 post-menopausal women, it was found that regular consumption of apples lowered unhealthy LDL cholesterol, raised beneficial HDL cholesterol and diminished the presence of inflammatory and damaging compounds, according to Florida State University researchers.

    Every day for a year, half of the women ate 75 grams of dried apples and the remainder consumed the same amount of prunes. Their blood was tested at three intervals over the trial period.

    The women who ate apples experienced an average 23 percent decrease in LDL cholesterol after six months, and raised beneficial lipids by 4 percent. They also had lower levels of cell-damaging lipid hydroperoxide and inflammatory proteins, compared to the participants who ate prunes.

    Moreover, despite the 240 calories that the apples added to the women's daily intake, they saw an average weight loss of 3.3 percent.

    "Reducing body weight is an added benefit to daily apple intake," said study author Bahram H. Arjmandi, Ph.D., R.D.

    The researchers noted that the pectin and fiber found in apples may help consumers feel satiated.

    Omega-3s Lower LDL Cholesterol Levels

    April 12, 2011
    by Bob Livingston

    Since your body can’t produce essential omega-3 fatty acids on its own, you need to consume a diet rich in these nutrients that help reduce inflammation, boost circulation and lower bad LDL cholesterol levels. Foods rich in these fatty acids include salmon, mackerel, tuna, walnuts, flaxseeds, olive oil, kidney beans and winter squash. As an added bonus, salmon is also rich in the mineral selenium and several B vitamins.

    The World Leader in Bomb Shelter Design and Construction

    A Hardened Structure Facility can be constructed in most localities, urban, suburban or rural. By its nature, a Hardened Structure is usually designed to perform its PRIMARY MISSION both during and after a war-like or criminal attack, a major natural disaster, or accidental/man-made emergencies.

    We address these challenges by employing a Multi-Hazard Engineering methodology in our design and planning stages that not only recognizes individual hazards/threats sequentially, but also address all hazards/threats simultaneously as a problem of optimization under constraints. A Hardened Structures facility can be designed to protected against a wide range of threats including:

    * WMD's
    * Frontal Assault and Forced Entry
    * Economic Collapse / Breakdown of Law & Order
    * Anarchy
    * Ballistic / Blast Protection
    * 2012 cataclysm
    * Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Explosive (CBRE) agents
    * Airblast
    * Ground shock
    * Fragmentation and damage to the structure and equipment due to explosive loading
    * Penetration

    Letter Re: Steel Cables as Road Obstacles for Rural Retreats

    By James Wesley, Rawles
    April 17, 2011 2:38 PM

    Hello,
    I bought and read your book ("How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It") and have read several sections of your blog, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding an item you mentioned several times - "defensive road cables". I have Googled this exact term and all I get is your article quoted over and over. Can you please send me a link or two or three where I can buy these or other info that will help me find them. Thanks. - M.B.V.

    JWR Replies: To block vehicle traffic from roads, I was referring to 1/2" to 5/8" diameter steel cable and cable clamps to fit the same. These are available at any logging or machinery supply company. They are set 18" to 24" above the ground, and locked with large padlocks. If large trees are not already growing in suitable locations for attachment, then you should set stout steel posts in concrete. Used lengths of standard gauge railroad track work well. You can use a cutting torch to punch holes through the thin (side) sections, to thread through the cable. After the cable clamps are positioned and tightened, you should braze or weld a blob on each bolt and nut end, to prevent the nuts from being loosened.

    An important proviso: As previously mentioned in my blog and per widely-accepted military doctrine, any obstacle that is not within line of sight (and line of fire) of your retreat's defenders will only serve as a brief delay--not a true obstacle to advance.
