Did you eat too much on Thanksgiving. Here is the reason you feel so full when you eat too much!

This video explains the science of food digestion. Why do you feel so full when you eat? Part of it is mental and part of it is physical. The more food you put in your stomach, the more it expands and pushes against the other surrounding organs. The mental part is when your brain sends a signal to your stomach to tell it to stop eating. If you keep eating, it tells the brain you are too full.

So was your brain telling you that you ate too much on turkey day? Let us know in the comments. Don’t forget to share this with your friends on Facebook and Twitter!

Fear and denial of the Ebola virus in Liberia

In the news today there is more on the outbreak of the Ebola virus in Liberia.

Here is an update of what is happening in Monrovia, Liberia.

MONROVIA, Liberia — This morning Makasha Kroma shivered with fever. Her head still hurt; that hadn’t gone away. And she was vomiting a lot.

That’s why she’d ended up here, at a holding center where people suspected to have Ebola wait, in a dark classroom, for the results of their tests. These things — headache, fever, vomiting — are the early signs.

Ebola is transmitted through bodily fluids. It has no treatment, besides hydration, no cure, no proven vaccine. Since February, it’s ravaged West Africa, infecting more than 2,000 people in four countries and killing more than 1,100.

Kroma came to the West Point holding center with her sister, her three children, a cousin named Bindu, and two other family members. They are all women, or girls — most caregivers in Liberia are — and they washed Kroma’s clothes, fed her rice, wiped down her body, and cleaned up her vomit with a rag and some chlorine.

Those are the kinds of chores that give you Ebola. And the girls had no gloves. All the gloves the Ministry of Health brought this place when it opened yesterday, all 150 of them, were gone by the middle of the night.

That’s when three people escaped. Because Sam Tarplah and his staff didn’t have any gloves, they couldn’t restrain the patients who wanted to flee. They could only plead.

“We begged them, told them people are coming tomorrow to help you,” Tarplah said. “But there was no way we could fight them.”

Two escaped by climbing the back wall, according to health care workers in a clinic next door. Another, a woman with five children, simply took off, Tarplah said.

Tarplah is a registered nurse who’s worked in health care in Liberia since 1989; he opened this holding center for the Ministry of Health on Thursday, and had eight patients. On Friday, before the escape, he had 29.

West Point is becoming a hot spot in a hot spot in the biggest Ebola outbreak in history. It’s an informal community, a “slum,” with no running water or toilets. People can live seven or more to a single dwelling, and the density is dangerous: A positive Ebola patient disappearing into the maze of metal shacks can be a public health horror story.

This Superfruit Has Arrived In Michigan - What Is it?

Hey everyone, there’s a new fruit introduced to Michigan recently. This fruit looks like blueberries and it’s stated to be high in fiber.

The flavor has been described by some people as being nutty, like almonds. Other people have reported that they think it tastes like a mix between cherry and blueberry.

This berry also makes good, sweet pies. So what is it’s name? Saskatoon, native in Canada.

Canadian farmers first began cultivating wild saskatoons, or juneberries, more than 30 years ago. Steve Fouch, a retired Michigan State University extension agent, encountered them there about a decade ago.

Fouch started promoting the plant in northern Michigan because it is cold-hardy, and the region’s soil is just right. But most farmers in the area grow cherries, and many were skeptical about this imported cultivar.

“People sit back and say ‘If this is such a good idea, why wasn’t this here 100 years ago?’ ” Fouch says. But people probably laughed when the first cherries first came to the region in the late 1800s, Fouch says.

Now that more farmers are trying their hand at growing saskatoons, people are also trying different recipes to showcase all that the berry has to offer.

DuCheney has been busy experimenting in his kitchen. He has used the berries in jams, jellies and pie fillings. “I just did a saskatoon bourbon barbecue sauce the other day, and it is really good,” he says.
