Image
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a popular flavor enhancer which is often added to Chinese food. However, newest studies suggest that it is also involved in numerous foods we eat on a daily basis! Apparently, MSG and its detrimental effects are difficult or impossible to be prevented. This chemical flavor enhancer has been related to a numerous health conditions, like obesity, fibromyalgia, fatty liver, metabolic syndrome, neurological and brain damage, as well as high insulin and blood sugar levels. This flavor enhancer is one of the most harmful ones on the market, and it is added to crackers, meats, baby foods, canned soups, salad dressings, infant formula, and children’s school lunch. Hence, MSG does not simply season your dishes like salt and pepper, but it enhances the flavor, meaning that when added, it will hide the true properties of frozen dinners and processed meats, and will provide a tastier and fresher flavor, with a better smell.

The Health Dangers Of Drinking Iced Water

Image
When eating out, I always ask my server for water with no ice and they often look at me like I am crazy. But I am not, and below I explain why. First, take a minute to close your eyes and imagine the following: It is spring and you are standing on a wooden dock that extends into a high mountain lake. While the temperature in the air is fairly warm, the top layer of the lake has only recently melted and you can tell by the color of the crystal clear blue water that it is anything but warm. You close your eyes and dive in. What does your body do? What does your skin do?

Vitamin Water: Perhaps One of the Most Toxic “Health” Drinks of the Century!

Every major beverage company in the world has started focusing on promoting healthy products and Coca Cola is certainly not an exception. This beverage corporation is especially proud of their VitaminWater and they advertise it as a very healthy and incredibly hydrating beverage. According to the Coca Cola Company, this drink also lowers the chances of developing eye diseases, protects us from chronic diseases, supports our bones and joints and improves our immunity, too. But, it turns out that all these promises are false. A recent article published in the reputable Mat Hoffman Post, written by John Robbins, PhD, MD, has debunked these claims. According to Robbins, VitaminWater is nothing more that sugar-water with traces of synthetic vitamins. What is even worse is that the quantity of sugar found in this beverage is relatively high. One regular bottle of VitaminWater comes with about 33 grams of sugar which makes this beverage closer to a soft drink family than to a healthy drink fa...

How Exercise Makes You Smarter, Happier, and Less Stressed

Image
I confess, I am definitely a sedentary, a "taong bahay" person. I'm happy at home, even when my wife and daughter is at my home province.  My hobby is playing computer games and watching movies at home. I know I need to exercise, not just to slim down, but also for my health. I do walk a bit, as well as ride my bike to work, but I know its not enough. I barely even perspire. Why is it so hard for most of us to exercise? "We need to move," says Ratey of our evolutionary baggage, early in the talk. "It's only 10,000 years ago that we were hunter-gatherers and we moved anywhere from 10 to 14 miles a day." That's the bottom line for physical fitness, but science is beginning to show that it's equally true for our mental health. Ratey lays out an incredible amount of research showing the amazing things exercise does for our mood and cognitive function, as well as exactly how these positive effects work. Smarter. These days, test-obsessed schools...
