Sugar is not bad. It is horrible

Sugar is the worst thing you can put inside yourself. Research suggests that sugar has played a role in the massive rise in diseases such as:

• Metabolic Syndrome
• Cardiovascular Disease
• Diabetes Type 2

Sugar intake is also linked to weight gain.


Men can have up to a maximum of 9 teaspoons of sugar a day. This means you, as a male, can have up to a maximum of 150 calories from sugar.


Women are allowed 6 teaspoons or100 calories from sugar a day.


But did you forget that just one can of coke has 140 calories coming from sugar?


So if you are used to drinking a can of coke a day, then you are only left with 10 calories which you can get from sugar. The 9 teaspoon of sugars a day (maximum rule) only applies if you do not get calories from sugars present in processed (junk) foods!


Best solution: Avoid junk food and as much table sugar as you possibly can. It is about your health after all.

Is your mobile phone making you sick?

If you send over 50 text messages a day, then you have a high chance of developing De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. 

Once you develop De Quervain's tenosynovitis, making a fist, picking up a glass, grasping anything, and even turning your wrist will hurt. Limit the number of text messages you send every day to avoid this painfully annoying condition!

 

Do not brush your teeth right after a meal

If you brush your teeth right after a meal, especially one which contained acidic food and/or drinks, you will damage your teeth.

Wait 30 minutes after you have had your meal to brush your teeth.
