How your food is prepared affects your health.

A New York City researacher suggests that by steaming, boiling and stewing foods and using acidic marinades on meat cooked with dry heat, people may be able to stay healthier.

These cooking methods will reduce the amount of advanced gycation end products (AGEs), or glycotoxins that people consume with their food.

“These toxins cause inflammation and they tend to accumulate in the body. Over a long time, the constant low-grade inflammation can lead to organ damage and disease,” says Dr Helen Viassara of Mt Sinai School of Medicine.

These days, shopping is so convenient and cheaper. You just need to go online. Convenient because you do not need to leave your home as shopping is just a click away and cheaper because you get discounts when you shop withcoupons.

Couponchief has a wide selection of stores that offer coupons. I like to shop at Amazon. Just the other day, I bought some Dove products with Amazon coupons. I am enjoying online shopping with coupons.

Essentials are the foundation products that everyone needs to take everyday. They are designed to provide optimal nutritional support.

Wood blinds for your home

Over the weekend, I went to a friend's housewarming party. After months of setting the place up, she finally got everything in order. She prefers a home with a simple, minimalist look so instead of curtains and drapes, she opts for blinds. She is into natural products so instead of vinyl or aluminium blinds, she has installed wood blinds. I must say the wood blinds complement the entire decor making her home cosy and comfortable with a great color combination.

Get Your Life Back with Drug Rehab

Young people are impressionable and easily influenced by friends and company they mix with. Nightspots are hotspots where the so called action is and where people sometimes lose themselves under the influence of drink and other substances. Sadly, substance abuse is not easy to eradicate and the dependence on substances ruin lives. These people need help. Drug rehab is the way to go to get their lives back together again.

Lose weight the healthy way with a Calorie Counter

Today's affluent and busy lifestyle has led to many of us doing things in excess and that includes eating. We tend to eat in excess plus we do not make the right food choices. This leads to many of us having diet imbalance thus not up to our optimum health. Our busy lifestyle has also contributed to us not taking time out to exercise and burn out all those excess calories.

There is a website I found, MyFitnessPal.com that has good information on diet and fitness. It tells us the type of food that is good for us and which to avoid. You will love their food database of nutritional facts about each food item.

Some of us know that we need to lose weight but do not really have a systematic way of doing it much less the proper tool. MyFitnessPal has a free calorie counter that is fast and easy to use and will teach you the nutritional contents of what you are eating and how you can make better food choices. In fact, the site is 100% free to join. You can join their forums and exchange notes with others with similar goals and interests. Besides losing weight with friends cheering each other on provides more motivation and better results.

If you want to lose weight the healthy way, do check out MyFitnessPal.com.

It pays to rent an Orlando vacation home

A visiting colleague, Sam, from the US related his experiences of visiting Orlando. My colleagues and I listened in awe to the many activities one can engage in on a visit to that part of the US, Orlando, home to DisneyWorld.

Sam said that accomodations are aplenty and it's not difficult to rent an Orlando vacation home. Many holiday-makers to Orlando prefer a vacation home as opposed to a regular hotel as the former offers more flexibility and convenience.

The Pen is Mightier than The Sword

I have many friends in the sales line. A few work for pharmaceutical companies, two in baby products, two in liquor business and one marketing pens. They have all been in this line for years. They prefer to be in the sales field than be couped up in an office on a desk job. Flexibility of schedule is their main reason for being on the field. To each his own, I suppose, and doing what you enjoy is really good for health. You won't be stressed in your job at least.

The Need for Market Research

Corporations spend a lot of money getting their products into the market. It does make us wonder as to how these corporations would know for sure that their products would see, doesn't it? I guess, they do know what they are doing. With such a huge investment at stake, they would definitely have conducted market research on every aspect before they go ahead with their venture.

A Financial Reporting Software Saves You Time

With the Internet being such a convenient tool, many small businesses are getting online. Not only that, many tasks that used to be done manually can now be simplified and performed online. This brings to mind, the video-shop at the corner of the street in my neighbourhood. The shop-owner just purchased a financial reporting software to manage his accounting better. He now has more time on his hands not having to manually do his accounts. I can tell he is a happy man.

Take A Cruise Holiday

All work and no play certainly makes anyone a dull person. It is therefore important that we take a break from the work routine to recharge our batteries. A holiday, even a short one, is good for our wellbeing.

Some ten or fifteen years ago, a cruise holiday is not often heard of in this part of the world. But these days cruises are very popular with holiday-makers. Just the other day, a friend and his wife spent ten days on a Meditarranean cruise which they enjoyed very much.

Student Loan Consolidation is a Wise Move

For one to totally enjoy good health takes effort. A good diet of nutritious food, regular exercise to keep the body fit and adequate rest are all elements that contribute to good health.

In this modern, competitive age, stress is inevitable in one's life. Lots of things in life cause stress including work, family and personal issues, the latter could be financial prob;ems. Excessive debt can cause a great burden to one's life. Even young adults can have debts resulting from student loans. It would be wise to opt for school loan consolidation to prevent from having to pay unnecessarily high interest rates as well as being able to monitor the loans better.

Play Golf to Stay Fit

People in my office engage in a number of sports both for recreation and for exercise. The younger ones take part in football and futsal tournaments. Volleyball, netball, badminton and basketball are other popular games for the younger group.

Recently, line-dancing and aerobics were introduced. Group walking is the latest to join the line-up of exercise activities. Tennis is yet another sport that is fast catching on. For mid-management and senior management, the favourite sport has to be golf. Recently, a group of golf enthusiasts travelled all the way to Pattaya in southern Thailand for a few rounds of golf. They even brought along their own Golf Equipment. I suppose, when one loves a game or a sport, nothing is too inconvenient, even extra luggage is no deterrent.

Malaysia extends smoking ban

As reported by The Star, smoking ban in Malaysia is to be extended to cover 19 designated areas in the country.

The 19 areas include hospitals/clinics, public lifts and toilets, air-conditioned restaurants, public transport, government premises, educational institutions, petrol stations, Internet cafes and shopping complexes.

This is a good move by the government to promote a healthy environment for the people.

Give a Gift of Delicious Cherries

Eating more fruits and vegetables is encouraged if one wants to stay healthy.

With more and more people being aware of the importance of having a healthy body, fresh fruits will have to be included in one's diet. Fresh fruits also serve as a great alternative to unhealthy, salt-laden snacks. Fresh fruits are ready to eat and great-tasting besides offering liquid content which our body needs.

There is a wide selection of fresh fruits one can choose from in the market. Cherries come to mind of all the fresh fruits because they are just so juicy and so ready to eat.

The Fruit Company's Cherries are now in Season and will be going very fast. They make an incredible gift for any occasion, so if you are looking for a gift, why not give a Gift Basket of delicious, succulent fresh cherries. They will make such a great gift.

The Ugly Duckling No More

The other day while out shopping in a mall, I met an old classmate. I was in a coffeehshop when I heard my name being called. I turned around and saw this good-looking, slim lady in pretty pink. I did not recognise her but I noticed she was smiling as if she knew me. She jolted my memory. No wonder I did not recognise her. Hoodia has helped her reduce from a grossly obese girl to a slim and beautiful lady. What a transformation! We chatted and caught up on old times before we parted ways. I am still amazed at her new look. Good for her!

Flea markets are so much fun

I love visiting flea markets. They give me a chance to chalk up the desired 10,000 steps a day. Isn't this the benchmark number of steps to stay fit and healthy?

Flea markets are a lot of fun too. Unfortunately, we do not have that many here and besides, we only have them during weekends, Saturdays and Sundays. I would normally spend hours browsing through the stalls. Items that attract me are pictures or rather paintings. I have come across some really good ones but unfortunately they were offered for too high a price. Antiques and gadgets also get my attention. I once came across a coin sorter and almost bought it except that it wasn't working well enough.

Prescription Drug Addiction Cliffside Malibu

When I came across this website of Cliffside Malibu, a residential drug rehab, alcohol rehab center and extended care facility, I could not help but thought about a brother of a good friend.

I wished then that we had the kind of facility that Cliffside Malibu offers. You see, my friend's brother was so deep into drugs that he started stealing from his family and that was saddening. He also was wasting away physically and emotionally and became alienated by his family.

I am positive the Prescription Drug Addiction program that is offered at Cliffside Malibu would help him kick the habit and give him a chance to get back to being a useful member of society.

Cliffside Malibu is not only a drug rehab center, it also helps people with alcohol problems, eating disorders, depression, and other co-occurring disorders. The center is also a facility offering extended care. Their personal attention, care and professionalism have successfully helped many who needed help. If you know of anyone who needs similar assistance, Cliffside Malibu would be the place to recommend.

A Vacation Home offers a greater holiday experience

For the recent school-holidays, my girlfriend and her husband took their three children for a week-long holiday last week. They went to the beach in Cherating. Cherating is on the east coast of Peninsula Malaysia. They rented a vacation home instead of staying in a hotel because they had such a great experience at a Disney vacation home last year. A vacation home offers a lot of flexibility and privacy for a good, enjoyable and relaxing family vacation.

Jogging in new places

My colleague likes to go jogging in new places. While jogging one evening, he came across a new housing estate atop a hill. He then proceeded to check out the new houses which had very lovely designs according to him.

Malaysia is experiencing a boom in the real estate market. Apartments in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre, near the Petronas Twin Towers, are being snapped up like hot cakes and a good part of them are being bought by foreigners.

Start a Chatroom to offer support

Many people have gone through stress and trauma in their lives but never really got out of that state. They could still be feeling depressed over it or are suffering phobias of some sort. At the same time, many fortunate people offer help in the form of setting up support groups.

MH chat offers free chat hosting for support groups, forums and web radio hosting. You can easily start a chatroom in a matter of ten seconds with their chatroom generator tool and it's absolutely free. Best part is, you get to help others in need. Phobia Chat is currently their featured support chat.

The site also features a list of useful sites which is a great resource for people who have a need for such relevant information.

Slow and Steady

We often lament that time flies and that we have not accomplished the things we want to accomplish mostly due to time constraint. Technology has caused things to move faster. Speed is now the in-thing. Even on the highways, people are rushing from place to place. The good infrastructure and highways make it easier and safer for vehicles to cover longer distances in shorter times.

Here in Malaysia, the speed limit is at most 110km per hour. On a good stretch of road, this speed can be rather frustrating for some people that is why their vehicles are installed with a radar detector to avoid being caught for speeding. Anyway, it is better to be safe than sorry, so driving within the speed limit is still the safer bet.

An Orlando Vacation

All work and no play certainly makes anyone a dull person, so we should all learn to take time-off to relax and refresh ourselves mentally and physically. What better way than to take a holiday?

After working hard for months on a tough project, my friend, Sue, finally completed it last month. She has been sacrificing her time with her family and has decided to make up for it with a good long vacation. Sue and her family has decided to take an Orlando Vacation - Disney World and all. Their holiday starts middle of this month. Bon Voyage, Sue!

Moving home furniture

Some of us like to move furniture around the home at regular intervals for that fresh look all the time. A friend's mom recently injured her back and her doctor has advised that she takes it easy. You see, she is someone who is fond of having her home furniture moved around and she does the moving all by herself refusing help from her family members. Looks like she will have to stick to the same furniture arrangement for awhile.

So remember to be careful when you move or lift heavy objects so that you do not injure your back as back injury can recur if you are not careful.
