Snacks – Is It Good or Bad For Your Health?

Since childhood, We’ve been taught that snack is bad for health and we should avoid from it as far as possible. The point is, “Do snacks really that bad for your health?”

Well, to me it’s certainly depending on the situation. As we knew that, the elder people are normally having poor digestive function due to their aging problem. Therefore, if they cannot digest all those rough foods, you can buy some healthy snacks that enriched with high fibers to substitute with their main meals.

For the school-age children, since they’re situated in a growing stage and have a high metabolism, you also can treat them with some high fiber health snacks, such as crackers or cookies.

Snacks can also be a very healthy and nutritious foods, as long as you’re followed the daily dietary schedule!

The main goal of exercising is to lose at least 50 calories per day, and it would be better, if you can lose more than that amount!

Some of the people were too scared to drink milk, as they thought that the milk is the main cause of high cholesterol. Well, if you’re one of them, then you should read on this article…

According to the report from the USDA, the milk doesn’t contain a very high amount of cholesterol and it contains the miracle substances that can be helped to inhibit cholesterol!

According to the Hong Kong University Medical Research latest survey on the “bad cholesterol” (Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL), those patients that have very low LDL level will a higher risk of having cancer! Here is the statistic study from the current research:

If the cholesterol level less than 2.8mmol/L, the risk of having cancer will be increased to 74%.

If the cholesterol level higher than 3.8mmol/L, the risk of having cancer will be increased to 87%!

Therefore, we’re better take a good care about our cholesterol level, as too high or too low will also lead to the happening of cancer as well!

Drinking Water is Not Only For Quench Your Thirst!

Do you think that the reason of drinking water is to quench the thirst away? Well, the water is more than you’re thought here…

Water has three main functions to human body. Firstly, water is the main resource for cells generation, without the existing of water the cell generation will be terminated!

A More Natural and Healthier Way to Keep Fit!

Many people have tried different types of weight loss programs or even those so-called “miracle” diet pills, but it mostly returned no result to the users!

Caroline, my lovely aunt, was one of those that spent over thousands of dollars each year to purchase the weight loss products. Well, the main intention to do all this stuff is to slim down and loss all those hideous fat away, but it seems to be only a myth and can’t really happen on her.

Honestly, she told me that she’d tried over hundred types of weight loss program and diet pills, and there is only a few of them that really work for her. In this very few effective natural weight loss method, she would say that nutrisystem and medifast are her favorite!

In between the above two natural weight loss diet plans, she loved medifast the most. The medifast plan is much like other soft diets, where it’s mainly consists of bars, soups, shakes and much more.

Furthermore, as a vegetarian for over 8 years, my aunt didn’t want those weight loss diet plans that contain any poultry inside it. As a result, she found that this medifast diet plan is the perfect choice for her, since it’s vegetarian friendly!

With the reasonably priced ($140.50 for 70 meals) that equal to two whole weeks meals, it’s totally the most valuable diet plan that she had ever used in her life.

Note: Now, she is trying to recommend this natural diet plan to her friends and colleagues too!

A Fast Recap Of WillYouMind For 2008!

Guys, today's is the first anniversary of WillYouMind. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the loyal readers that have been supporting me during the existence of this health blog...

Looking forward to the 2008, there are many events and catastrophe have been happened. In the mean time, I have written over two hundreds of blogposts as well!

Amongst hundreds of the blogposts, I have a very deep impression on this "Give Free Rice" post.

Why?

It is because I've joined the world vision, "World Teacher Program" in the mid of 2007 and I've been sent to one of the small village in Cambodia. At there, I've withnessed many children that living in poverty. If they want to survive, then they need to work very hard, even they're still a child!

I felt really sorry for them, because for earn the living, they've to make a choice to abandon the education. However, this still cannot guarantee that they'll have a nice daily meal...

Soon after I backed from Cambodia, I created this blog and have mentioned about a program "Free Rice" to show some awarenesses to the public.

Hence, to all those children that living in the comfortable situation, you should be glad and blessed about it, as there are still many unfortunate children from all around the world that suffering from the hunger and poverty now...

To me, this post is simply the best because it teaches us that we should learn to appreciate every little things in our daily life, by simply sharing and show our sincerity to the unfortunate...

According to the survey, 11 out of 15 people for group A has at least gained 8-12kg during the research, while there are only 2 out of 15 people for group B that having weight gained 3-4kg!

The Secrets of Acai Berry is Waiting For You to Reveal it!

Everyday, we're being approached by assorted types of commercial advertisements. Most of the advertisements are all about how good and effective the health supplement products are and you'll be regretted, if you didn't try it and blah, blah, blah...

Honestly, unless I've tried the products and it's really worked for me, or else I'll just ignored it and didn't even want to know about it at all!

Sometimes, the miracle is surrounding us, but it just needs you to reveal it by your own. Let's take an example, my father used to have high blood pressure and Coronary arteriosclerosis (CAD) since 12 years ago. For your information, CAD is the most common type of heart disease and it's one of the leading causes of death in U.S.!

The worst thing is my father's heart disease became worse in 3 years ago and hence, he had done a heart surgery immediately. He managed to survive from the surgery, but his right leg was paralyzed due to the side effect of the surgery. Since then, he was quite upset about this matter and became even more depressed than before!

As his son, I've tried my best to search the top surgeons and physicians to help him, but the whole thing is useless. The situation continued until, I found the AcaiBerryPower500 a year ago...

In the very beginning, my father and I were a little bit skeptical about the product like everyone else. Instead of keep guessing and doubting, I persuaded my father to try it. Well, the miracle has happened! After 6 months of consuming acai berry supplement, my father’s right leg was starting to have some feeling again and after one year, he’s now able to walk with the help of a cane.

Honestly, I’m much appreciated with the Acai Berry, as without it, my father might be living in the fear and sorrow…

Dark Chocolate is Good for Your Heart!

I always heard my friends and colleagues said that Chocolate is the main causes of obesity and it has a bad effect on our health. Since I’m the type of person that only believe to the scientific proof, that’s why I will only believe one thing if you can show me the solid evident!

Instead of believing all the hearsay, I have tried to find out the truth fact of chocolate to our body health. Guess what! I have finally proofed that their words were wrong!

According to the United States Dietetic Association or also known as USDA, the chocolate is one of the healthy foods that have great benefits to our heart. Chocolate contains a substance called “Flavonols,” and it is an essential nutrient that can be used to promote human health.

The benefits of consuming chocolate are:

  1. It can help to enhance the blood circulation;
  2. It can lower the high blood pressure;
  3. It can reduce the chance of getting blood vessel blockage.

Basically, chocolate has a role that similar with Aspirin, where it can help to reduce the incidence of heart disease.

Beside of the chocolate, these following things also containing some flavonols as well:

  • Red wine;
  • Green Tea; (My favorite!)
  • Apples; (Not wonder the old saying, “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away!”)
  • Onions.

If you don’t want to buy processed chocolate, then you might want to choose the original dark chocolate, as it contains the highest flavonols of all. If you want a healthy heart, then try to consume 30 grams of dark chocolate biweekly!
