Fun and Information

Have you ever wondered why, for so many people (and especially for anyone older than 30 years old), weight gain seems to be a fact of life? It’s because the human body is way too efficient! It just does not take that much energy to maintain the human body at rest; and when exercising, the human body is amazingly frugal when it comes to turning food into motion.

At rest (for example, while sitting and watching television), the human body burns only about 12 calories per pound of body weight per day (26 calories per kilogram). That means that if you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg), your body uses only about:
150 X 12 = 1,800 calories per day

Those 1,800 calories are used to do everything you need to stay alive:

· They keep your heart beating and lungs breathing.
· They keep your internal organs operating properly.
· They keep your brain running.
· They keep your body warm.

Your body, it turns out, is extremely efficient at capturing and storing excess calories. Whenever your body finds that it has excess calories on hand, it converts them to fat and saves them for a rainy day. It only takes 3,500 excess calories to create 1 pound of new fat on your body. If you are taking in just 500 extra calories per day, then you are gaining a pound of fat per week (500 calories x 7 days in a week = 3,500 calories/week). Since it is easy to get 500 calories from just one ice cream cone or a few cookies, you can see that weight gain is completely effortless in today’s society. Food is just too easy to find.

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing
malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air
decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain
efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the
death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping

Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and
decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of
the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may
cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

We’ve all had days when we don’t have the energy to tie our athletic shoes, let alone bounce around in them. But exercise can give a daily blast to your mind, body, and soul.

Here are fourteen quick tips to get you moving:

1. Don’t get intimidated by the prospect of a daily exercise regimen. You don’t have to run a marathon. You need only get your body moving each day. Once you tone your muscles, you’ll naturally find yourself wanting to do more challenging workouts.

2. Reframe the way you think about exercise. Begin to think of each workout as a gift you give to yourself instead of just another “should,” “ought,” or “must.”

3. Make sure you enjoy your exercise program. Some people like classes. Some people don’t. Choose what’s right for you so it becomes something you actually look forward to.

4. Make sure your workout is convenient. Schedule it for a time of day when you typically feel the most energetic. Have your gym bag packed and ready to go by the door or in the car.

5. Make your workout weather-proof. If you run or walk outside, get the right workout gear so weather conditions are never an excuse.

Iron Deficiency Anemia (also called IDA) is a condition where a person has inadequate amounts of iron to meet body demands. It is a decrease in the amount of red cells in the blood caused by having too little iron. Iron deficiency anemia is usually caused by a diet insufficient in iron or from blood loss. Blood loss can be acute as in hemorrhage or trauma or long term as in heavy menstruation.

Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia. About 20% of women, 50% of pregnant women, and 3% of men are iron deficient.

Some people with iron deficiency anemia always feel cold. They feel cold because iron plays a role in regulating the body’s temperature.

Iron deficiency anemia and sickle cell anemia are VERY DIFFERENT.

Individuals with iron deficiency anemia may also experience pica.

What is Iron?
Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying pigment in the blood. Iron is normally obtained through the food in the diet.

Iron is part of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of the blood. Iron-deficient people tire easily because their bodies are starved for oxygen. Iron is also part of myoglobin. Myoglobin helps muscle cells store oxygen. Without enough iron, the body’s fuel cannot be properly synthesized.

Every single part of broccoli, including the leaves, can be consumed with the knowledge that you are eating a huge helping of healthful nutrients. Although this late growing season vegetable loses some of its health benefits when cooked, others are enhanced and released by cooking.

Steamed broccoli has higher amounts of compounds, like glucosinolates, that battle cancer, so this is the preferred method of preparation. Yet, a nation raised on fried foods would even fry this healthful vegetable, unaware that such cooking techniques lower the amounts of these nutrients. Steaming broccoli in a colander placed above a pot of slightly boiling water not only is good for you but also the broccoli will turn a bright, appetizing green color and be less likely to turn soggy like it would if boiled directly in the water.

Consumers typically think of bone-building calcium when they think of broccoli. One study shows it actually takes two and a half cups of broccoli to equal the calcium content in an eight-ounce glass of milk.
Calcium is just the tip of the iceberg. A forty-four calorie cup of cooked broccoli contains: five grams of fiber, four grams of protein, fifty percent of the daily requirement for Vitamin A, one hundred seventy percent of the daily requirement for Vitamin C, twenty-three percent of the daily requirement for folate (a B Vitamin that occurs naturally in some plants), and 505 milligrams of potassium. That single cup also provides riboflavin, Vitamin B6, iron and lutein (which helps to combat macular degeneration).
Raw broccoli, on the other hand, has been shown to be valuable in the prevention of breast, prostrate, bladder and uterine cancers.
