If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what would it take to
avoid a heart surgeon? How about, first, a good vitamin + mineral
supplement and some omega-3 oil (canola-rapeseed, flax, fish)? Add
a diet low in processed food and, in this order: 1. don't smoke, 2.
control waist size, 3. manage stress well, 4. some exercise and you will
improve your general health, and prevent or help heart disease.
This website looks at the food, supplement and prevention side of the picture.
Nutrition in medicine is my long-term interest, not my job, so this site doesn't
generate money or sell anything. Paint prevents rust on a car but does not cure it.
This site is about the heart healthy nutrients preventing corrosion of your body
proteins (and slowly even cure it), and about nutrients that can help you survive
existing artery wall damage.
Science shows that a heart healthy diet is one with relatively
unprocessed foods, with veggies, whole fruits and with rice or
grains that retain most of their original kernel-structure.
Those are the 'whole' foods that became scarce in Western diets. If you can't
recognize part of the original food, the item is processed or refined. Some fresh
eggs, liver or fish are probably also vital for most of us.
In food processing, as when making noodles or flour, we lose 60 to 90% of
most of the heart healthy nutrients. Also lost is plant-structure 'whole-ness'
that slows digestion, while factory hydrogenation preferentially zaps omega-3 oil, think of it as
vitamin F-3, turning it into toxic trans fat.

Pig industry sustains livelihoods of many families in Kenya. Pig rearing has been one of wellestablishedindustry
in Kenya following growing export markets and increasing number of health
conscious consumers. Pig production if efficiently managed has great potentials for increasing
protein supply in Kenya. Smallholder pig farms in Tharaka-Nithi County have been facing
varying and dismal profits. The main objective of this study will be to establish which
institutional arrangements and management factors affect the profit efficiency of small-holder
pig farmers in Tharaka-Nithi County. A multi-stage purposive sampling technique will be
adopted to collect cross sectional data of eighty (80) smallholder pig farmers in Maara
Constituency by the use of semi-structured interview schedules. The work will employ Data
Envelopment Analysis to come up with profit efficiency rankings among the farmers and
stochastic frontier profit function will be used to analyze the factors that affect profit efficiency.
The data will be processed using STATA and DEA Frontier packages. The findings could be
useful to the stakeholders of the pig industry sub sector to formulate policies pertaining to pig
enterprise inputs, marketing issues and financial products and also can establish benchmarks
which can be used as a package for enhancing and stabilizing profit efficiencies of smallholder
pig farmers which in turn could help improve the Kenya economy.
An Overview of Livestock Sub-sector in Kenya Perspectives, Opportunities and Innovations for Market Access for Market Access for Pastoral Producers Recent statistics point that the livestock sub-sector in Kenya accounts for approximately 10% of the National Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is 30% of the agricultural GDP. It employs about 50% of the national agricultural workforce and about 90% of the ASAL workforce. 95% of ASAL household income comes from this sub-sector. This is despite the fact that the sector receives only 1 % of the total annual budget allocation. The livestock resource base is estimated at 60 million units comprising of 29 million indigenous and exotic chicken, 10 million beef cattle, 3 million dairy and dairy crosses, 9 million goats, 7 million sheep, 0.8 mi camels, 0.52 mi donkeys and 0.3 million pigs. (Strategy for Revitalizing Agriculture (SRA) 2003) Kenya is broadly self-sufficient in most livestock products but is a net importer of red meat mostly inform of on-the-hoof animals trekked across the porous boundaries of neighbouring countries- Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda and Tanzania. Livestock supply in Kenya results from a complex set of interactions between Kenya and its neighbours and the traditional Middle East market and their respective livestock populations, demand and market prices. Kenya is part of a regional market where livestock flow according to markets and price differentials in a liberalized system throughout the region as a whole and where Nairobi represents a focus of demand for the region Supply of red-meat from domestic cattle, shoats and camels falls short of demand, and is almost permanently augmented by a traditional livestock trade drawn in from neighbouring countries, especially Somalia, Tanzania, Sudan and Ethiopia in varying quantities according to demand, which maintains a supply/demand
