Breakfast used To Be Considered The Day's Most Important Meal. Toast Or Not To Toast? and Real men Eat Their Meat Rare. Right?

Hi Blogger.

I am bored so here is another answer to a question.

While intermittent fasting is all the rage (hello Hugh Jackman) skipping breakfast is more than two or three times a week can add extra inches to your waist and put your health on a downer. Harvard researchers found that 'men who skipped a morning meal were 21% more likely to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes over a 16 year period than those who chowed down in the morning'. Failing to break your fast throws your blood sugar levels out of whack, which can lead to insulin resistance (which is not good at all). Instead of adding time to the overnight non-eating period, munch on low glycaemic breakfast bars. These stop blood sugar levels lowering out of control.

Another question:

Real Men Eat Their Meat Rare. Right?

While it's always tempting to pour scorn on outdated macho prejudices, there's some truth here. Certainly, If you respect your taste- buds - as any reel man should- the words 'well' and 'done' should never be uttered in sequence in a restaurant. But going pink isn't merely posturing- a study published in the journal PLos One reports that over cooking your protein may increase your risk of prostate cancer by 50% particularly if it's grilled or charred (I did not believe this until I read the article). Unless you're ordering fillet (in which case, frankly you're all money and no taste) your smart bet is medium-rare. the meat stays moist, much of the fat renders out, and your health stays put (and plenty of protein is still  their).

New Blog Woop Woop. Are Bugs Really Becoming Immune To Antibiotics.

Hi Blogger

This is my new blog specialising in tips and tricks for keeping fit. I will also be randomly posting answers to questions I have been asked so if anybody has any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Now to answer the following: Are Bugs Really Becoming Immune To Antibiotics?

For a first post this may seem weird but as it is winter, people are more likely to catch bugs. Things are heading this way, yes. We are a pill-popping nation and nature is wising up to our habits. At least 17 strains of bacteria have evolved to survive some of the world's strongest bug-killers. Doctors write up to 36 million antibiotics prescriptions a year in England alone, often foe little more than a runny nose. The net result is that they're losing their potency and you guys are now more vulnerable as a result. reduce your risk of infection by following the three simple steps bellow:

1) Total Wipe Out
Lingering sweat provides an ideal breeding ground for germs such as staphylococcus, which can cause skin infections and can live for weeks on gym equipment. A sanitising wipe will nix them; make sure you pack some before you head down to the gym. You may look like an idiot wiping the gum equipment before you use it but you will get the last laugh when you are the only person in the gym without an infection.

2) Steer Clear
The antibacterial agent triclosan, found in some soaps and hand sanitizers, can prevent your body from building immunity to bacteria that would normally be harmless. It's worth checking the ingredients in your soaps.

3) Trade It Up 

When prescribed an antibiotic, ask your GP if you can take a drug that is specific to your condition. The broader the type of antibiotic, the more benign bugs it will kill, giving harmful bacteria a chance to grow stronger.


That's todays tip. I will try to post as often as possible.
