Among wine’s recently discovered benefits are: improved heart health, less plaque accumulation in arteries, better bone health, cataract prevention, decreased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, possibly cancer prevention and more. The miracle ingredient appears to be resveratrol, a naturally occurring substance found in grape skins, that has antioxidant effects (meaning it wipes out compounds in the body that can damage DNA and lead to disease). However, more isn’t necessarily better. While the American Heart Association recommends up to one glass of wine per day for women and two for men, filling your bubble glass to the brim won’t keep the grim reaper away. Most studies say one 5-ounce serving is sufficient. There’s no clear evidence pointing to one varietal being better than another, so go with red or white — whichever your taste buds prefer.
So since iv’e been back in California my diet has changed greatly from when I was in New York. In New York I was on the poor mans diet i.e. lots of pasta, pb&j’s, and whatever vegetables I could get my hands on plus miles upon miles of walking a day. This lead to me losing about 7 pounds. Since I have been back in California and living at my parents house I am now able to get my hands on whatever food I want which sounds great but also makes it easier to fall of the horse since now I actually have the ability to eat more food…
But being able to notice the weight I have lost has helped keep me on track to my goal of 5 more pounds. I have been incorporating more salads into my meals with plenty of raw chopped vegetables * The less cooked your vegetables the more benefits you get out of them* and drinking more water through out the day which has always been a bad habit of mine. Also, more whole grains which has been pretty easy, cheerios and oatmeal in the mornings.
People always complain about how hard it is to eat healthy now a days but I think its never been easier. It’s really your own choice and no one else’s fault as to what food you put in your mouth. So think about what you are eating, and what benefits it has towards your health. Even though eating fat filled meals with no vegetables in sight hasn’t effected you right now it will always catch up with you in the end.
So eat healthy! I promise not only will it help with weight and overall health it will make you happier in the end.
Sugar: The Bitter Truth
Shifting the balance in the war on cancer:Cancer genomics, the study of the human cancer genome, is, according to the National Cancer Institute at the National Institute of Health, “a search within ‘cancer families’ and patients for the full collection of genes and mutations - both inherited and sporadic - that contribute to the development of a cancer cell and its progression from a localized cancer to one that grows uncontrolled and metastasizes (spreads throughout the body).”
Modeled after the Human Genome Project, the 15-year long process to sequence all 3 billion base pairs in the human genome (a virtual blueprint for a human being) that ended in 2003, the Cancer Genome Atlas is a collective database as scientists and academics attempt to sequence the entire array of genetic mutations that cause every known type of cancer.
According to Eric Lander, one of the principal leaders of the Human Genome Project, the number of cancerous genetic mutations is finite because the number of base pairs in the human genome is finite. “The key is finding the Achilles’ heels for the mutations in these pathways.”
So, I guess I should do an update on my life? Seeing as half the time, this blog consists of gifs, random pictures and constant liveblogging. of course I’ll put it in a cut seeing as, I’m not about to spam people that don’t really care about these little details.
- I just got a part-time job as hostess for macaroni grill at the Orlando International Airport. I’m excited to a certain extent, and at least with this I can start saving for graduate school.
- I’m not doing speech language pathology anymore. I guess, I just don’t like it as much as I thought I did. Instead, I’m going to get a masters in elementary education and then a PH.D in elementary education so that I can teach in a post-secondary/university setting. I love to work with children for sometime in my life, but I’d love to become a college professor in the long run, and so therefore a PH.D is needed!
- Of course, not just needed. It’s wanted.
- Some people in my life may not agree with this choice, but at this point in my life? fuck them, if you aren’t going to die for me, then you sure as hell are not going to live my life.
- I’m still playing nurse for my mom. She’ll probably be in bed and out of work because of her surgery. I don’t mind really, she’s one of the only people who hasn’t taken advantage of me so it’s the least I can do.
- I’m still single as fuck. I’m honestly okay with it, but I get those few moments throughout the day, where I really miss sex. I mean, seriously. It’s literally been almost 2 years. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME. I’m not actively trying to date anyways, so it’s not like it is an accidental dryspell or something. It’s technically on purpose? Just untill I can trust someone to get that close to be again. I’m not the one night stand type.
- I’m still screening my dad’s phone calls.
People came and I taught.
it went pretty well.
I ended up timing it perfectly. AND I did laps afterward. Which was good. I didn’t get to do a lot of laps because I had to go work, but still. I did do some laps.
Um, I will post my aerobics workout sometime. I have to get ready for a practice I am helping at.
Especially from those of you who know more about health foods~ T_T;
message me for more details ok? super need help and its killing me coz i feel so damn stupid~ T_T; (no anons pls~ i need to get back to you in your askbox~ >.<)
