Betrayed by the Romans. Forced into slavery. Reborn as a Gladiator. The classic tale of the Republic’s most infamous rebel comes alive in the graphic and visceral new series, "Spartacus: Blood and Sand." Torn from his homeland and the woman he loves, Spartacus is condemned to the brutal world of the arena where blood and death are primetime entertainment. But not all battles are fought upon the sands. Treachery, corruption, and the allure of sensual pleasures will constantly test Spartacus. To survive, he must become more than a man. More than a gladiator. He must become a legend.
1. No Breakfast People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2 . Overeating It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6 . Sleep Deprivation Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells..
7. Head covered while sleeping Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3 . Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store. 9. Too much drinking alcohols.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.'
The top five cancer-causing foods are:
1.. Hot Dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.
3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.
4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.
Show of Force flattens field in Davao triathlon (The Philippine Star) Updated March 15, 2010 12:00 AM http://www.philstar .com/Article. aspx?articleId= 558243&publicationSubCateg oryId=69
MANILA, Philippines - Three months after winning his first local title, Australian Rohan Force returned to the same venue to reign again.
The 41-year old Force, a businessman engaging in distributions of nutritional supplements, leaned on his all-around performance to claim line honors in the second leg of the Speedo National Age Group Triathlon Championship raced at the Baywalk Park, Queensland Compound in Davao City.
Mary Pauline Fornea, 16, shared stellar billing with Force, turning in the best time among female triathletes who competed in the race backed by Barangay Matina Emergency Unit, Davao Volunteers Fire Brigade and Davao City Traffic Management Center.
Force, who is also an active triathlete back home, was never challenged as he was in the lead in this 1k swim, 30k bike and 7k run event organized by Triathlon Association of Davao headed by Dr. Oscar Escudero and supported by Speedo.
He made splits of 13:30 in the swim, 49:28 in the bike and finished the race in 32:09 in the run for an accumulated time of one hour, 35 minutes, 7 seconds to claim top honors in the 40-44 male age group.
This was Force’s second win in the same venue after dominating the sixth Mayor’s Cup last November.
Fornea, a scholar of DOST in UP Mindanao, proved she deserved to be in the TRAP national pool as she topped the under-19 category with a 2:09:21 clocking with splits of 15:19, 1:07:22 and 46:40. Fornea, meanwhile, will attend the Subic Training Camp next month before competing in the Asian Juniors and U-23 Championships on May 1 and 2, also in Subic.
Other age group winners in the event supported by the Philippine Sports Commission, Globe Telecom, Sunkist, Vitwater, Rudy Project, Asian Centre for Insulation Philippines and David’s Salon were April John Maniyog (under 19), Jefferson Tabacon (20-24), Glenn Villocino (26-29), Jemarvin Cabilan (30-34), Christopher Eyao (35-39), Rolando Alisan (45-49), Juanito Dionio (50-54), Romeo Lactaoen (55-59) and Edgardo Villar (60-above) in the male.
Cherryl Araneta (20-24), Ivy Joy Herrero (30-34) and Cossette Plaza (35-39) joined Fornea as champions in the female age group.
The fireflies have fled the city because they could not stand its dirty air. All of us — cyclists, pedestrians, commuters, even those who ride cars — who live, work and raise families in the city may suffer the same fate. We continue to dirty our city’s air with polluting vehicles and factories. As a result, we also risk disappearing like the fireflies.
Why resign ourselves to this fate? We have a choice. We can fight for clean air and bring back the fireflies.
