Stress and General thoughts – have you ever noticed how politicians will do things for appearances the result of which creates a worse problem than doing nothing. But at least they can say they did something.

Case in point, in Atlanta they have a special lane for car pools (2 or more passengers) . This sounds good in theory, but in reality how many people do you know that look for someone to carpool with? I personally know no one. Ask yourself this question – how often when you go to the store or work do you call or go out of the way to find someone to carpool with? Or do you just get in the car and go?

What is the point of these lanes – to cut traffic congestion and create less pollution. My point is this – the vast majority of cars using these special lanes would have at least two people in the car anyway. In other words effectively you haven’t reduced the amount of traffic, but what you have done is removed 20% of the available space to drive on (1 lane out of 5) for 95% or more of the traffic. Thus increasing the amount of time it requires this 95% to reach their destination. Because of the increased time their engines are running, they put more additional pollution into the air than the amount saved by having fewer cars on the highway. This doesn’t even take into the account the loss of productivity and stress it places on these drivers, because of their increased time in traffic.

And stress as we know is not a healthy thing. If you’re one of these people stuck in traffic – try deep breathing exercises to relieve stress and energize yourself.

Amazing Pineapple Facts

Most pineapple in the United States grows in Hawaii and can gain a weight of 20 pounds or about 4 times larger than the average pineapple in the grocery store.

Pineapple is rich in Vitamin A and C. It is also an excellent source for the important enzyme nutrient Bromelain which is a mixture of important protein and milk digesting enzymes. Bromelain helps the body's digestive system and has anti-inflammatory properties as well. Bromelain can aid the action of certain antibiotics and drugs. Bromelain may also aid the healing process in the cases of trauma caused by injury.

Canned pineapple tends not to have this valuable enzyme bromelain as the heat used in the canning process destroys enzymes. Thus it is much better to eat fresh instead of canned pineapple.
