    Mused after learning that Proscan (between October 1 and December 31) is charging just $399 for their MRIs for breast checks or women with silicone implants to check for leakage. It’s recommended that women with silicone implants get them checked every five years by MRI. It is by far the best diagnostic test for leakage. Women with dense breasts may also benefit from an MRI. This is non-insurance (self-pay), and Dr. McKenna’s prescription is needed.

    CREATINE, A SAFE WAY TO HELP BUILD MUSCLES.

    Sure, supplements can feel sketchy with little science. But aside from protein powder, creatine has been studied more than other supplements, and it has been found to be a safe way to increase muscle mass. Muscle mass equates to strength, which, when combined with balance, is one of the best ways to prevent falls as well as look better.

    Creatine is an amino acid derivative produced by your body and is located primarily in muscle cells. Creatine specifically stimulates the body’s energy production to help fuel muscles.

    (Did You Know? Muscle growth comes from stressing the muscle, which results in fiber tears that are repaired by the body rebuilding them bigger and stronger.)

    The universally accepted daily intake of creatine monohydrate is 5 grams. Powder is preferred to pills. Usually, within a week, you will start to notice a difference if it is going to help. Weight gain of 2-4 pounds occurs initially as creatine pulls more water into your muscles, making them bigger. Being well-hydrated is important. Take at least 8 ounces of liquids with the powder. Creatine itself has no calories and no impact on fat metabolism. Therefore, if you take creatine but don’t work out, nothing will happen.

    Look for a creatine supplement that is National Science Foundation certified or third-party tested. I have been using it for a couple of months and have found that my body has more muscle definition. I add it to protein shakes or other 8-ounce liquids I drink for breakfast after working out.

    LA DOLCE VITA, JOIE DE VIVRE:

    7-Layer Dip-Delish Test Kitchen

    Spread an even layer of one can of refried beans (or, to be healthier, cannellini beans). In a medium bowl, stir together 2 cups of sour cream (or again, healthier, cottage cheese or Greek yogurt), a packet of taco seasoning, and juice from one lime. Spread this on top of the refried beans. The next layer is 2 cups of guacamole, either homemade or already prepared (I use Mazunte). Sprinkle 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese and ½ cup cheddar cheese over the guacamole. Top with a layer of (one jar) of chunky salsa. Finally, cover with shredded lettuce, quartered grape tomatoes, and a few sliced olives. Serve with corn chips.
