Do you realize that healthy food could be addictive, after all?
I just recently became addicted to Muesli, of all things. I had always wanted to grab a pack off the grocery shelves, but the price seemed to be too prohibitive for me before. Last week, I threw caution to the wind and bought me Muesli. My only regret is the fact that I am now addicted to it. Aside from that, the only thing I realize is that Muesli inspired me to eat more healthily.
I had recently discovered that I could not tolerate large amounts of fast-burning carbohydrates, as are found in white rice. When I’ve overdosed on white rice, I would become intolerably sleepy and consequently unproductive. Because of that, I would avoid eating white rice and would just go for either meat or vegetables. The result was that though I was less sleepy, my bowel movement suffered. And so, I was racking my brain for a solution.
When I got hooked on Muesli, I realized that that had solved my dilemma. It helped regulate my bowel movements, while also giving me the energy to go through the night and early into the mornings, without slowing me down because of sugar metabolism.
Because of that, I resolved that my diet would become: Muesli + broiled/steamed/least fat possible meats + veggies stir-fried in healthy oils.
I make a mean veggie stir-fry, if I say so myself, and I’m looking forward to getting my own stove. Or else, maybe I could just go for salads, because my room is too cramped for frying. I think I’ll be getting oil on everything if I stir-fried here. But the general plan is that: eat healthily, with veggies and healthy meats, plus whole, slow-release-glucose grains.
In this age when one’s health is of the utmost priority, it helps that healthy food is addictive.
Something quite new from Iran today, they have released official reports that they have cloned a goat. Cloning in biology is the process of producing populations of genetically-identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually. The female goat, named Hana, was born early Wednesday in the [...]
One of the biggest things I’m raving about here in the USA are those tech gas pumps. You know what I’d mean if I say their pretty secure, fast and easy to use. I remember in Asia when I’d pull into a gas station how I’d hand over my credit card to a gas attendant [...]
Remember that handy black gadget that was so cool 20 years ago? I remember begging my parents to get me one of them, as my classmates all had one. A chunky black box with matching headphones, which were just as chunky, seemed to be one of the coolest status symbols way back then. [...]
It’s no joke, the Guiness Book of World Records says “a world record in the length of a queue to a toilet was set on Sunday when 756 people lined up to a latrine in central Brussels to raise awareness for the need for clean water on World Water Day.”
What an achievement! And [...]
Did you know that there are hundreds and hundreds of different phobias? Some are afraid of chickens, some are afraid of ants, and others are afraid of air! Of the phobias, I don’t really know which one is the most common but I do know that I have met so many people with [...]
I believe that reading is at the root of learning. Children who learn to read at an early age and continue to do so as they grow older have a big advantage over those who do not pick up books on a regular basis. Reading opens up worlds that may otherwise be closed [...]
What would drive a man to end his family’s life. This is sad news, brace yourselves. You’ve heard that Ervin Lupoes has decided to end his life and his family’s. Authorities investigating this has mentioned the motive was because “he has no job and has five children”. Taking matter into his [...]
