The Truth About Trans Fats

When los­ing weight it’s impor­tant to under­stand how to read a food label.  Many of us believe that the fat in our diets is the enemy and we work hard to cut out as much of it as pos­si­ble.  But fat is not always the bad guy.  There are dif­fer­ent types of fats, and some even have health ben­e­fits.  Fat is as essen­tial to our bod­ies as other sub­stances, and many vit­a­mins can­not be absorbed with­out it.  Know­ing how to spot and cor­rect the bad fats in our diet is …

Is Laughter Good for Your Health?

Laugh­ter is the best form of med­i­cine. Stud­ies on laugh­ter show that peo­ple with a bet­ter sense of humor have longer and health­ier lives. The data from this study have found that laugh­ter is a form of inter­nal jog­ging that exer­cises the body and stim­u­lates the release of ben­e­fi­cial brain neu­ro­trans­mit­ters and hor­mones. Like exer­cise, laugh­ter also releases endor­phins – the body’s nat­ural painkillers.

5 Keys to Reading Nutrition Labels

The listed serv­ings per con­tainer will tell you how many serv­ings are in the prod­uct. The serv­ing size lets you know how big a serv­ing is. Dis­re­gard­ing the listed serv­ing size is a sure fire way to dou­ble or even triple your caloric intake. For exam­ple, a 20 oz bot­tle of soda can have 2.5 serv­ings. If you drink the whole bot­tle then you have to mul­ti­ply the calo­ries, sugar and the other ingre­di­ents by 2.5.

Basics of RSS

You prob­a­bly have seen this three-letter acronym in the course of your inter­net surf­ing. RSS stands for Really Sim­ple Syn­di­ca­tion or Rich Site Sum­mary; syn­di­cat­ing means repub­lish­ing an arti­cle that comes from another source such as a web­site.
