Ways to Make Healthier Food Choices in Fast Food Restaurants

Some people call foods in fast food restaurants as junk foods. Yes of cause, I might agree to some degree. This is because, most foods in fast food restaurants are fatty foods, foods high in calories, contain high concentration of artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners and foods which are high in cholesterol. These are the reasons why I would agree with the concept of ‘’junk foods’’ adopted by many people. But, do you know that, out of all these fast food restaurants, you can make out the best from the foods they have which can be very healthy and beneficial. This is what you will learn within these few minutes of your time.

How to make out the best (health wise) from fast food restaurants:

• 1.       Look out for information about nutrition provided:

 In most fast food restaurants, requirements have been made by regulatory agencies to post in a conspicuous place the nutritional benefit of whatever food and drinks people are buying. This is well important and it is what you must require to see even if they are not placed in obvious places.  You must try and keep in check the level of calorie intake, fats sodium and level of cholesterol. High levels of any of this or all together in your body will pose serious health risk. You may as well choose water over soda-can drinks, or less sweetened drinks and make sure you don’t eat much.

• 2.       Limit the potion size you take:

Foods in fast foods are relatively cheap and you can be easily tempted to eat more. By eating less of these foods, you will have lower chances of having poisonous materials consumed by you through these foods.

• 3.       Make fresh food and drink items your options:

There are disadvantages of eating fresh produces over non fresh produces. This is because, anything fresh has higher concentrations of nutrients and which will be healthy for your body. Choose salads and vegetables over burgers and fried products.

Steps to boost your fertility

Infertility can be defined as a situation in which a woman or a man is not fertile enough to have children. In other words, a fertile woman will ovulate every other month. Symptoms of infertility in women may be seen when a woman misses her period even though she does not have intercourse.

Fertility in men is when a man has proper erection to last well for sex, fertile sperms and proper libido. A low sperm count or a watery sperm, and a non lasting erection and impotence (not having erection at all) are all characterized as a non fertile man. Sometimes, low libido or low sex drive can be a factor in considering infertility in both men and women.

There are some things that can increase your risk of being infertile, these are common to both men and women and I shall briefly list out. They are:

• 1.       Excessive use of alcohol

• 2.       Use of tobacco

• 3.       Use of hard drugs

• 4.       Some medicines can increase your risk of being infertile, such as some cancer medicines, like chemotherapy, radiotherapy etc

• 5.       Some diseases in both men and women such as diabetes can also increase your chances.

• 6.       Some sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, Chlamydia, PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

• 7.       Others can be accidents and injuries.

These above are just to give you basic knowledge about infertility in men and women. You can read more about infertility here

But, nevertheless, the following are quick steps in which you can boost your fertility either as a man or a woman.

• 1.       Control your weight: too much of fat in the body is not good for women because it helps to produce a particular hormone which obstructs proper ovulation. And without a proper ovulation, there is a low chance of pregnancy. And in men, too much of body fat can block the veins carrying blood to the penis. This can be known as cholesterols, as they can help to increase the chances of having erectile dysfunction which can ultimately lead to importance.

• 2.       Eat well and make sure they are balanced.  Especially foods rich in zinc, magnesium, and iron and vitamin c. For example, vitamin c helps to boost libido in men, wears out cholesterol and helps to boost blood circulation in men. In women, most of the minerals and vitamins help proper ovulation.

• 3.       Tobacco should be stopped. Do you know that smoking tobacco is highly toxic, or in other words, it is a good source of antigens in the body. So if you love antigens, you can keep smoking tobacco and increase your chances of having lung cancer and reducing your life expectancy. However, Antigens are the number one causes of infertility in both men and women. Sometimes, you will see that some men who are acute tobacco smokers and have fertility problems, if after for a whole they stopped the cigarette and they detoxify, they have an improved sperm quality and are fertile. So also goes for women who have irregular or do not ovulate at all.

• 4.       Keep a cool mind and have fewer worries. If you are stressed and having depression all the time, they can both affect your being fertile. You need to keep calm all the time and don’t over work yourself or worry too much on anything. Else, pregnancy issues may be developed. For example, some people who suffered from P.T.S.D (Post traumatic stress disorder), have one time or the other lost their pregnancies while they had it. The best way to come out of a PTSD is to see a counselor and relax yourself

• 5.       Exercise: most people do ignore exercise, but this is one of the simplest things to do. Exercise helot to burn fat, keeps the blood flowing properly and helps a woman to ovulate properly. In fact, there are evidences that exercise can help those with impotence or suffering from a low libido.  But, if you are nervous because you have ED, do not over stress yourself because it can do more harm than good.

L-Carnosine And How it Helps to Slow down Ageing.

Carnosine is a substance in which few people know its purpose. And today, I shall shed more light on it and how beneficial it is.

Carnosine contains two vital amino acids which are alanine and histidine and they are in their most natural form of occurrence.

Carnosine was discovered mainly In Russia, not until it also became in large quantities in other countries such as the United States of America recently and other countries. Most of these countries are trying to make researches more on this substance to make verifications on claims made by the Russian that it is really good for anti-ageing.

One of such expericment was carried out in Australia, which was ground breaking.  They researchers found out that L-Carnosine has the ability to rejuvenate dead cells. Through laboraoty culture, they found out that, cells in cultured with Carnosine stay longer and do not grow old over the period of time of study. And another ground-breaking result that was found was that, Carnosine can greatly reverse the aging cells and make them younger again. This is because, the researchers also cultured old cells or weak cells with the Carnosine, and they were able to find out that the cells rejuvenate with the help of the amino acid. This was also verifiable when the cells were switched away from the Carnosine for a period of time, and the cells grew back to their old and weak looks.

Other important functions of Carnosine are listed below:

• 1.       It helps to increase Cell life. Meaning, cells die, and it will take another process in the body to produce another type of cells. But the ratio of cells dying to cells being reproduced is small. When this occurs, aging is sure. But, since Carnosine helps to increase Cell life, then when the body produces cells, it is not stressed and it can meet up in time with the cell production.

• 2.       Helps to increase life Expectancy. People who are on Carnosine are more likely to leave their lives to the fullest than those who are not on it at all. This is because cells that help to improve life expectancy stay longer and the body is not stressed in making out new cells.

• 3.       The feel of looking young. When you see some people who are in their 30s, you will think they are 50 years old. And you wonder what is really wrong with them. And likewise, you see some people, at their 50^th age, they look 30. This is because they make use of Carnosine which helps them to stay young. Staying young will ultimately make you feel young.

• 4.       Powerful Antioxidant. What is an anti-oxidant? Antioxidants are components which are used to eradicate oxidants in the body. Oxidants are poisonous materials which get in our body through the food we eat the air we breathe etc. Oxidants help to boost ageing and will ultimately reduce the life span of a cell. Oxidants or antigens are one of the main causes of cancer in people as well as that it helps to increase other chances of having cardiovascular diseases. As a good anti oxidant, it will help to destroy this antigens in the body and you will feel wonderful and ok.

• 5.       Carnosine helps to regulate our body. A body that is running more than itself, the Carnosine will help to regulate it, and so likewise for a body slow than how it is supposed to be.

Carnosine is normally produced in our body but it declines while we grow older, it is important to supplement and make your body healthier, younger and more beautiful.
