Water - The Free Investment For Our Long-Term Health! (4/9)

Can we drink too much?

Drinking too much during physical effort can be fatal! The reason for this is that the kidneys can not discharge surplus water while exercising. This results in an excess water flow to the brain cells which can harm them.


Therefore, athletes, (marathon) runners and cyclists should estimate how much water they lose throughout the physical exercise by weighting their body weight before and after. If they weight more after the exercise than they have drunk to much!

Watermelon - Nature's Viagra!

Watermelons are great. Their tasty and even healthy.
Watermelon is an excellent source of potassium and vitamins A, C, and B6. Watermelons also contain more lycopene than any other fresh fruit or vegetable. Lycopene is an antioxidant known to prevent cancer. I always thought that tomatoes were good to eat because they have lycopene, but it turns out that watermelons really have even more. Another great benefit is that watermelon is fat free and it also has a high water content (92%). This means that it has very few calories in one serving. 1 cup of watermelon is around 46 calories and still fills you up pretty well. And the best thing is that it's sweet enough to get rid of the craving for some dessert after a meal.

The one day watermelon diet is an easy way to slim yourself up for a special evening. Eat nothing else expect a watermelon with it's juices during the day. Ok some glasses of water is still ok. Then be amazed when you look in the mirror in the evening before you wear the dress you haven't been able fit into before without loads of babyoil.


And one more thing that might get you to go buy some watermelons. For some men it can have samekind of effects as with viagra.. So of course someone already named it nature's viagra.

Kate Winslet's Secret Diet!

Kate Winslet won the top acting prize at the 81th Oscar award. She is so beutiful and has wonderful body, but she used to be obese when she was 14-year-old. She was a little bit chubby when taking Titanic, so she succeed in losing 10lb only two weeks!



That was a CABBAGE DIET.
Cabbages are one of the famous low calories food. It contains los of minerals, fibers, and vitamins so cabbages are helpful to lose weight.



She ate 2 cabbages per day. In the morning, she ate one toasted bread, a cup of american coffe, and a half cabbage with yogurt dressing.



At the lunch and dinner, there are only a half cabbage, chicken breast with at least fat, and a grapefruit which contain many vitamins and mineral but low calories.



The point of this diet is you NEVER do seasoning all of the food.

Where to get your recipes from?

Nowadays you can basically find everything on the internet. But is it really a subsitute for nearly everything, and can it really substitute Mum's good old cookbook?

Yes, it can. At least in some cases. I found a very good one this morning and want to share it with you.

Mischa Barton's "Obsessed With Pilates"

In recent days, slender star Mischa Barton’s even slighter frame has been cause for concern among many celebrity weight watchers, but the former O.C. actress insists to OK! she isn’t taking matters to extremes, and reveals that pilates is her secret to looking svelte.

“For me, it’s all about pilates recently,” the 23-year-old told OK! during Tuesday night's G-Star Raw luxury jeans fashion show at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom. “I’m obsessed with pilates. I think it’s so fun.”

And whatever you might believe, Mischa says she's certainly not starving herself.

“I don’t do any crash diets,” she explained. “There’s nothing that I really do like that, because I’m always working. I mean, before I go do a film, I do workout more. I do get ready for a film and try to be healthy and in shape. And when I’m not working, I do less of it.”

To get into fighting form, Mischa says it’s all about the gym.


“I do more cardio because I work long hours. Jogging, running — stuff like that’s really good before you do a film so you have more energy.”


Here's a pic of Mischa from last night's event. Do you think she's getting too thin?




Meanwhile, Mischa gives a “maybe” to remaking The O.C. a la the recent reboot of 90210.


“I’m not sure that anybody’s ready for an O.C. remake,” she told OK! “Maybe I would do it. I don’t know. Marissa died, so it would be really hard to remake it. I don’t think she can come back from the dead, but maybe there’s another version of the show to be remade one day.”

When organic food is not enough

Organic foods are a great source of healthy food that hasn’t been altered or been sucked dry of their nutritional potential. But for some people organic food is not enough. There are other options beyond it. Some consumers have realised that farmers farming organic food are forced to use processes similar to those of conventional agriculture. This is simply due to organic food being used more and more. Another reason for other forms of organic food besides increased demand for the regular stuff is because of all the bureaucracy associated with organic food. Farmers who wish to harvest better crops and refuse to go to the trouble of qualifying for organic accreditation, simply find new and improved ways to grow naturally.

Take a look at the following two options for traditional organic food and then go see if you can find any food produced in either way from your local supermarket. Good luck with that.

Grass Fed

Grass Fed is a simple term that distinguishes livestock fed on their natural Pasteur from livestock fed with grain and chemically induced supplements. With grass fed livestock you find a healthier animal then you do the supplement fed livestock. This negates having to give the livestock antibiotics and other drugs that end up in our meat, because they get sick less.


All Natural


All Natural, or naturally grown foods, are those that are grown with organic principles in mind. The guidelines for food to be certified organic are fairly strict, and can take some time to put in place. So many responsible farmers instead produce all natural food which is free of horomones, pesticides and other unnatural ingredients. However, the label
"all natural" can be a bit misleading at most since its use isn’t regulated by the FDA.

A funny trailer of a movie about a Farmer who after "some" hardship started to produce organic food:
