Four times annually, the Federal Reserve surveys 84 different banks about general banking conditions.
One of the survey questions asks about current mortgage lending standards and whether they are loosening or tightening.
The chart at right is from the April 2008 survey and it illustrates what we already know: It's getting tougher and tougher to get approved for a home loan.
Some of the areas in which mortgage guidelines are tightening are well-known:
More thorough income documentation
Higher credit score requirements

Some areas are less well-known:
More scrutiny of prior delinquencies
Strict review of appraised values

But there's more to it than that - these are the "tools" that can help boost your immune system. Here are 6 steps for starters... Food provides far more than energy. The nutrients in food are your building blocks. Your body uses these on a daily basis to make new cells including white blood cells, also known as immune cells. In fact - this balanced diet should be explained further to include eating plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. And just so you know - organic produce has been shown to have up to 40% more nutrients.

Study findings have shown that sulforaphane, a chemical in broccoli, switches on a set of antioxidant genes and enzymes in specific immune cells. This helps to combat the effects of molecules known as free radicals, which can damage cells and lead to disease.
Free radicals are a supercharged form of oxygen which can cause oxidative tissue damage -- for example, they can trigger the inflammation process that causes clogged arteries. Oxidative damage is thought to be one of the major causes of aging.
According to the study, the ability of sulforaphane to reinvigorate the immune system abilities of aged tissues could play an important role in reversing much of the negative impact of free radicals.

In the book, Jessica describes how to puree veggies and hide them in your kid's food. While many people criticized the book saying that she copied someone else's idea, and she gave Oprah 21 pairs of Manolos Blahniks for promoting it, I say "Who gives a shit!" It works. I found it to be brilliant and implemented her, or whoever's strategies. The only difference was that I went purely organic.

She was in and out of school almost ever other week with one ailment or another, and she would take a tremendously long time to recover. After several
Eat your broccoli! That's the advice from UCLA researchers who have found that a chemical in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables may hold a key to restoring the body's immunity, which declines as we age.Published in this week's online edition of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, the study findings show that sulforaphane, a chemical in broccoli, switches on a set of antioxidant genes and enzymes in specific immune cells, which then combat the injurious effects of molecules known as free radicals that can damage cells and lead to disease.Free radicals are byproducts of normal body processes, such as the metabolic conversion of food into energy, and can also enter the body through small particles present in polluted air.

Every day our bodies are attacked by toxins, viruses, bacteria, and carcinogens that weaken our immune system and make us more vulnerable to disease. To top it all off, this year's flu vaccine is not protecting us against the new strain of flu virus. How do we strengthen our immune system to remain a strong defense against these invaders that can make us sick, or worse? We turn to immune boosting foods, preferably organic.The nutrients shown to be immune boosters are Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin D, Zinc, Selenium, Garlic, Onion, and Protein. Don't rush out to buy vitamin and mineral multiple supplements. It is far safer and healthier to gain boosters through organic food. In fact, overloading on Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Zinc, and Selenium can be detrimental to your health by actua
