Facts About Healthy Eating – You Can Reap the Rewards of Eating Healthy Foods


Daily Healthy Living Tips

We all know that we’re meant to eat healthy foods on a regular basis. Yet, the majority of us fail to do so. We eat unhealthy meals containing a wealth of fat and other nasties that are no good for our bodies. Instead of consuming healthy snacks in between meals, we go for a candy bar or a bag of chips – and that just isn’t good enough!

In this article you’re going to be educated on some basic facts about healthy eating. Learning the facts about healthy eating, may motivate you to make a change to your diet.

One fact about healthy eating that has always scared me is that the majority of us aren’t getting out 5 fruit and vegetables a day! If you’re not getting enough fruit and veg on a daily basis, you may develop serious health complications later on in life.

If you’re not consuming your 5 fruit and vegetables a day, then you need to start doing so, before it’s too late. If you find it hard to eat that much fruit and veg a day, then here are some tips to help you get your recommended daily allowance…

* I’m assuming you love spaghetti bolognaise, who doesn’t right? Well did you know that you can chop up some vegetables into your bolognaise sauce? You’ll barely know they’re there either!

* Drink plenty of fruit juices. It doesn’t matter what fruit juice, it’s all down to your personal preference. But drinking one glass of juice a day will provide you with one of your five a day!

* The majority of people don’t count potatoes towards their five a day, for some bizarre reason. Potatoes are vegetables too, you know? You can use potatoes with nearly every meal, so it’s a great way to reach your five a day. You can find thousands of healthy recipes online that contain one or two portions of your five a day, so a search engine is a great place to start if you’re struggling to think of healthy recipes.

Another fact that is quite scary is that 95% of us are consuming far too many processed foods on a daily basis. These are foods that contain added salt, sugar and nasty chemicals. These foods are everywhere, but they’re more common in ‘TV Dinners’ and other microwaved foods.

Bottom line is that, YOU need to start eating healthy foods on a regular basis.

Vital Ferret Facts and Information


Daily Healthy Living Tips

Ferret facts will help breeders and pet owners in determining what is good and bad for their pet. They are so silent and small that you almost not notice them when they approach. This is the reason why most of them are stepped on while sleeping under a throw rug. Their inherent curiosity always put them in dangerous situations. You could find them crawling under the refrigerator, under a stove and even find them sleeping together with the clothes in the washing machine. They also love tunnelling and sleeping in reclining chairs and sofa beds. Knowing these ferret facts will help avoid injury and accident as well as being constantly vigilant and learning their habits.

Ferrets just like other animal are also susceptible to diseases. Ferret facts conclude that they are vulnerable to canine distempter and heat periods. Canine distempter is almost fatal when it infects ferrets. Ten to twelve days following to the exposure from the virus, rashes could be noticed in the groin area and under the chin. There is also a pus-laden discharge from the nostrils and eyes. It is ideal to give your kits a vaccine against canine distempter to avoid infection.

Sustained sexual heat for female ferrets that last for 160 days is life-threatening and dangerous. This will result in bone marrow suppression and severe anemia because of the deficiency in white blood cells circulating in the body. Ferrets are also vulnerable to rabies and can transmit the virus that is why giving them vaccine will reduce the risk.

Ferrets are not destructive to most household items but have a tendency to chew soft rubber that can be impacted in their intestines. It is threatening to your ferret’s life if they ingested pieces of kitchen gloves that have household chemicals. Do not let your ferrets play latex rubber toys because once ingested it may cause intestinal obstructions.

However, almost all books that provide ferret facts do not fairly emphasize the health issues. Sometimes the information is not enough to respond the queries ferret owners ask. You can find for some alternatives where you can ask for ferret facts such as animal trainer and breeder for a long time. They can give you valuable ferret facts that will be helpful as you raise this happy creature. Giving them appropriate living condition and providing their necessities will not only make them healthy but also double their life span.

Weird Facts from the Hair Loss Black Book


Healthy Living Facts

Well, you do not look young anymore and friends call you “grandpa” because of the lack of hair on top of the head. Sucks I know! Recently learned some interesting facts in the Hair Loss Black Bookabout hair loss and how to re-grow hair on the ole noggin.

Sounds like a bunch of BS that we have all heard before, or is it? Please read the rest of this article before you judge, keep an open mind. I think it is fair to say that drug companies and big corporations know the art of “sales”, right? Take Rogaine for instance, it works by thickening the brittle thin hairs you have left (does not re-grow new hair) thus by making the hair appear thicker and fuller.

BUT, if you stop using it the newly woken up hairs will start to die off. So, you need to use this product for life and keep buying it every month. That is good business yeah? The Hair Loss Black Book will show you ways to do the same thing without the expense.

What the Hair Loss Black Book reveals are ways to block DHT and start the regeneration process again. DHT is what causes hair to fall out in men and in women. Know how to block it and the hair stays put. Of course there is no money in promoting this, so that is why it is kept under wraps. Much like expensive cleaners that cost twenty bucks only to have a one dollar household cleanser do the job better. Think about that for a minute.

The really strange thing is that just changing your diet and exercise regimen can trigger hair regrowth, it’s true. The hair follicle that refuses to grow anymore hair is being blocked by DHT, unblock it and the hair will come alive again and out of its dormant stage.

Why do men with hairy bodies go bald? Hair all over the place but bald on top, looks silly. Too much testosterone is the answer and DHT mixing together. Perhaps one of God’s greatest jokes on human kind. We never see a bald gorilla do we? So whats going on is more than you think.

If you are sick of looking like a creep with your bald head then check out my blog belowfor more facts and info on hair loss.

Check out this Hair Loss Black Book reviewand see if it may be of help to your rapidly thinning hair.

Five Weird Facts About Time


Healthy Living Facts

You can’t see it, hear it, feel it or smell it; yet it governs our lives and dictates almost our every move from when to get up to when we are asleep. It can be measured highly accurately by atomic clocks and yet time is one of the Universes most peculiar aspects.

It has only been since the work of Einstein and his special relativity at the turn of the last century that we have begun to gather an understanding at what time is. Thanks to Einstein and others that followed his work our understanding of time has led to new technologies such as computers, satellite navigation, network time servers (computer synchronisation devices) and atomic clocks.

However, the theories developed following Einstein’s work have unearthed some amazing and freakish facts about time – here are five things you perhaps didn’t know about time:

5. Time hasn’t always existed; it started at the moment of the big bang but before then there was no time (just as there was no universe). If the universe finally contracts (in what some theorists call the big crunch) and the universe returned to a single point in space (singularity) then time would come to an end (along with everything else in the universe).

4. Time is not a constant as was first thought (by Issac Newton amongst others), thank to Einstein we now know time is relative and will be vary to different observers depending on their position and speed. The faster an observer is going the more time slows down and close to the speed of light (in a vacuum which is the only constant in a universe) time will virtually stand still making a million year long journey whizz by in seconds this is know as time dilation.

3. Time isn’t an individual component of the universe it is in fact part of the very fabric of space and is intertwined in what Einstein called a four-dimensional space time.

2. Space time can be ‘warped’ by gravity which in effect slows down time that means the more gravity there is, the slower time will pass. Interestingly this has been measures to such a tiny degree by atomic clocks and means that your feet are in fact younger than the top of your head.

1. Time travel is not just a fantasy invented by science fiction writers but in fact time travel is theoretically possible according to modern physicists although critics argue our technology will never be advanced enough to achieve it, otherwise where are all the time travellers from the future?

Atomic clocks mean we can now measure time incredibly accurately (to within a second every 100 million years). Modern computer networks use NTP servers (network time protocol) to synchronize to an atomic clock which allows computers all over the world to communicate in perfect time synchronization.

Richard N Williams is a technical author and specialist in atomic clocks, telecommunications, NTP and network time synchronisation helping to develop dedicated NTP clocks. Please visit us for more information about a Galleon ntp time server or other ntp server solutions.

Weird Facts About China


Healthy Living Facts

Though China now plays a vital role in the global economy, just ten years ago it was a small emerging market. It has now transformed into a geopolitical giant, but there are some things that are plain scary:

Economy:
China’s GDP per capita is the 91st-lowest in the world, below Bosnia & Herzegovina.

More than 134 million people in China live on less than $ 1 a day.
China’s economy grew 7 times as fast as America’s over the past decade (316% growth vs. 43%).

If a person spent his entire Annual Income on housing, the average Beijing resident could purchase only 10 square feet of residential property (approximately the size of a small bedroom).

Military:
China has 150 percent more soldiers than America, besides having a high tech ‘kill weapon capable of destroying U.S.A. aircraft carriers. It is thought that the missile can travel at mach 10 and arrive at its maximum range of 2000km in under 12 minutes.

Travel:
The new train between Shanghai and Beijing travels twice the speed of the United States fastest high speed train (150 mph vs 302 mph).

Environment:
Expanding at 1,400 square miles every year, because of water source depletion, over-foresting and over-grazing, China’s huge Gobi Desert is the size of Peru.

The high levels of pollution in Linfen, named the most polluted city on earth, take a serious toll on human health, with clinics reporting ever increasing cases of bronchitis, pneumonia and lung cancer.

China grows half a billion pigs, which is more than the following 43 pork producing nations together.

There are more cell phones in China than people in the U.S.A.
In China the world’s largest shopping mall has been 99% empty since 2005.
85 percent of the world’s artificial Christmas trees are Chinese manufactured, as are 80 percent of toys of the world.

China is the source of over 77% of U.S.A.s pirated goods.
40% of small businesses in China went bankrupt during the global financial crisis.

By 2025, China will build sufficient skyscrapers to make up 10 New York-sized cities, yet China has 64 million unused homes, including whole empty cities. Build and populate later is China’s policy, as can be seen also in Las Vegas and Spain.
By 2030, China will add more new city-dwellers than the entire U.S.A. population.

Society:
Most Chinese people drink polluted water.
Around a third of all Chinese adults live in their parents’ home.

Chinese consume 50,000 cigarettes every second.
Only 75% of the Chinese population believes in the ‘one-child’policy.
The Bubonic medieval plague, which began in China in the Gobi Desert in the early 1330s and wiped out 25 million Europeans, is still found in China, along with several other nations.

Religion:
China is on track to becoming the largest center of Christianity in the world with an estimated 54 million Christians in the country. China has more Christians than in the whole of Italy.

74 percent of Chinese believe in evolution, which is more than Mexico (69%), Great Britain and (68%) Argentina (68%).

Justice System:
Around 10,000 Chinese citizens disappear annually into unregistered ‘black jails’.

China carried out at least 1,718 executions in 2008, three times as many as the rest of the world, according to Amnesty International. Some analysts place the annual figure nearer 6,000. Many of the condemned are injected, as executions take place on the roadside, in specially designed vehicles.

Finance
China is the largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasury securities, holding over $ 840 billion worth.

When anyone purchases stocks on the Chinese stock market, they are basically financing China’s government. Eight of Shanghai’s top ten stocks are government owned. These include PetroChina, Bank of China, and China Life Insurance Co.

China still receives foreign aid from both the United Nations and America.
Finally, if the population of China walked past single file, it would never end.
