Nick Gillispie is here to tackle on Obama's statement that this health care plan will reduce the national deficit by 143 billion dollars over the next

He point out three good errors with this plan to reduce the national deficit, I'll admit that. However, if we do nothing, we are bound to increase more of our spending to health care.

In 2011, every major fast food restaurant you go to will have nutritional information both inside the restaurant and on the drive-thru.

This is part of the health care legislation that President Obama just signed yesterday. That means customers might want to think twice before eating a Big Mac that contains 540 calories, which is already more than a quarter of the 2000-calorie daily guideline from the Agricultural Department. That also counts for vending machines, so someone who wants to buy a king size Snickers Bar knows that this unhealthy snack contains 440 calories. While not all the customers will pay attention or care about these nutritional labels, it will help some of them to be aware of what are you eating. After all, more than 1/2 of the money Americans spend on food is outside of their home.



By the way, would you rather have a big fat greasy burger up there OR
a nice fresh healthy apple down here? :)



You decide.

Eating healthy food is not all about keeping you in good shape. It can also help you reduce stress and more! :D

These food items include dark chocolate? Yep, the darker the chocolate, the more healthy substances like phenethylamine(which improves your mood) are in that chocolate. Oatmeal is another great one as it helps us to make serotonin, which calms down our craving appetite. I could go on, but by now I think we now/already know that healthy food have additional benefits for our body.



Oh and one more thing, what do you prefer the orange or the "apple"?



XD!

Not to long ago, China has been hit yet another sandstorm from the Mongolian Desert.

Most of the people in China hates this sandstorm as it gets under your clothes, in your throat, and on your car, but there's not a whole lot you can do about it. Outdoor activities in schools were canceled, the elder people were asked to go inside, and you see more people wearing a handkerchief or a surgical mask. This is all because of desertification which is caused by overgrazing, deforestation, and these strong winds picking an abundant amount of sand and carrying it all the way to China. What do you get? A huge brownish haze over the capital of China, Beijing, along with other Chinese cities.

Such an old article, but it's one of the contributing factors to obesity.

It's not just eating junk food that effects your weight, it's the number of hours of sleep that counts as well. Because less sleep tends to increase your appetite and with the food just within our reach, it's no wonder it's easy to get fat in America. The reason why as Dr. Taheri said is that when you sleep less, you produce less leptin, a hormone that helps reducing your appetite. Sure, a good rest everyday does take up more thirty percent of your day, but in return you're energized, you brain functions just fine, and you're appetite should be at normal level.



P.S. I think I heard somewhere a long while ago that if you choose to sleep less, you're bound to eat 25% more than you usually do.

The summit about the health care reform was taken place last thursday and ...

well the two parties disagree to each other for the most part during this long talk about health care. The republicans pretty much want to put this to a halt while the Democrats wants to get something done at last. Obama didn't want to do either of the two plans that the Republicans recommended which is taking the health care reform step by step or simply starting over. Oh and this 7 and a half hours of conversation was on C-Span, though Obama is not sure if anyone would consider this interesting.

Taking a second glance at the health care reform ...

This video explains why our health care system is simply unfair and unaffordable for an average American citizen.

I hate smoking ...

They're a bane of my life and I wish it was never invented! The toxicity and its awful smell just make me want to puke. D:

Being obese is more deadly than you think ...

Other than you have to buy bigger clothes or using more energy when walking from one place to another, it also increases the risk of having cancer. It has something to do with your hormones, the link below talks about how and along with some useful information.

P.S. So think twice or even thrice when satisfying your thirst with soda!
