Upon assuming duties as the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr. was determined to improve the retention of Navy sailors. To assist in this effort he implemented a series of Z-NavOps, naval messages sent direct to the fleet, affectionately known as "Z-grams." The first Z-gram was released on 14 July 1970, the day he assumed duties as CNO. Throughout his tenure, Zumwalt disseminated 121 Z-grams. All Z-grams were canceled in name only on the day Zumwalt left his post as CNO, though 87 were subsequently incorporated into the regular Navy directives system.
Admiral Zumwalt knew the primary force-multiplier of the United States Navy was its Sailors and, as a social reformer, began quality of life improvements throughout the fleet. Zumwalt wrote each Z-gram personally, and they became the visible indicator that emphasized the importance he placed on Sailors' quality of life.

A high-fiber diet appears to reduce the risk of developing various conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, diverticular disease, constipation and colon cancer. Fiber is important for the health of the digestive system and for lowering cholesterol.
Dietary fiber is material from plant cells that cannot be broken down by enzymes in the human digestive tract. There are two important types of fiber: water-soluble and water insoluble. Each has different properties and characteristics.
The American Heart Association Eating Plan suggests eating a variety of food fiber sources. Total dietary fiber intake should be 25 to 30 grams a day from food, not supplements. Currently, dietary fiber intakes among adults in the United States average about 15 grams a day. That's about half the recommended amount.Continue reading

Each beverage portrayed above represents one standard drink (or one alcoholic drink equivalent), defined in the United States as any beverage containing 0.6 fl oz or 14 grams of pure alcohol. The percentage of pure alcohol, expressed here as alcohol by volume (alc/vol), varies within and across beverage types. Although the standard drink amounts are helpful for following health guidelines, they may not reflect customary serving sizes.
Paul Rivers: How many lives do we live? How many times do we die? They say we all lose 21 grams... at the exact moment of our death. Everyone. And how much fits into 21 grams? How much is lost? When do we lose 21 grams? How much goes with them? How much is gained? How much is gained? Twenty-one grams. The weight of a stack of five nickels. The weight of a hummingbird. A chocolate bar. How much did 21 grams weigh?
Current dietary guidelines for Americans suggests that people age 2 and older get 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories in the daily diet. For children ages 12 months through 23 months, the guidelines suggest getting 19 grams of fiber a day.
For example, 1 cup of raspberries added to 1 cup of cooked oatmeal with half a serving of almonds could provide about 13.5 grams of fiber. A bean and vegetable salad may provide about 11 grams of additional fiber.

Judging by all the protein bars, shakes and powders out there, you could be led to believe that you need a protein supplement. These products claim to curb appetite, help with weight loss and build muscle. But what's the real story?
Extra protein intake also can lead to elevated blood lipids and heart disease because many high-protein foods you eat are high in total and saturated fat. Extra protein intake, which can tax the kidneys, poses an additional risk to people predisposed to kidney disease.
