Sports Drinks, what are they & what are they good for?
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 19-Nov-2008

Sports drinks are scientifically formulated beverages, balanced with vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates for the purpose of hydrating and replenishing the user. Popular sports drinks, like the world's best-selling Gatorade, can be seen at every major supermarket worldwide.

Sports Drink or Water: True Water is the best fluid replacement however it too has some limitations. Sports drinks don't hydrate better than water, but you are more likely to drink larger volumes, which leads to better hydration. The typical sweet-tart taste combination doesn't quench thirst, so you will keep drinking a sports drink long after water has lost its appeal. An attractive array of colors and flavors are available. You can get a carbohydrate boost from sports drinks, in addition to electrolytes which may be lost from perspiration, but these drinks tend to offer lower calories than juice or soft drinks.

Britney's Life - Worse than a jail sentence
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 18-Nov-2008

Britney Spears faced a tough time since her breakdown. She says her life is even worse than a jail sentence. However she been brave throughout and trying to heal slowly. "I have really good days, and then I have bad days," the singer, 26, admits in a new fly-on-the wall, 90-minute documentary, Britney: For The Record, to air in the U.S. Nov. 30 on MTV and in the U.K. Dec. 1 on Sky1.  After her public meltdown earlier this year she is continuously struggling to regain her control on life, she says candidly: "Even when you go to jail, y'know, there's the time when you're gonna get out. But in this situation, it's never ending. It's just like [the Bill Murray movie] Groundhog Day." She adds, "I'm having to pay for it for a really long time."

As we all know Spears was hospitalized for mental treatment in January and taking an advantage her ex-husband, Kevin Federline got the sole custody of their sons, Preston and Jayden. That was a great loss for Spears. "If I wasn't under the restraints that I'm under right now, I'd feel so liberated," she says in the film, which follows the singer as she records and promotes her new album Circus. "When I tell them the way I feel, it's like they hear me, but they're really not listening."

Britney felt she was no more heard nor accepted by people as before. So she wanted to make this documentary. "I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn't being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in," Spears said. "This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I've been through and where I'm headed." Overall, she says, "I think I've learned my lesson now, and enough is enough." Really she had gone through a miserable time and now she deserves happiness. Don't worry Britney, all will be well.

The softness of Merlot has made it an "introducing" wine for new red-wine drinkers. A range of fresh flavors such as plums, cherries, blueberries and blackberries mixed with black pepper tones, typically dominate this smooth red wine. Merlot is often used to blend with other varietals, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. By blending Merlot with these wines, a distinct taste is produced for you to take pleasure in.

Sweet wines, your pairing with desserts!
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 11-Nov-2008

With so many different types of sweet wines that you can pair up with a dessert, or sip on its own after dinner. Sweet wines range from the fresh and fruity to the syrupy and sticky - so how do you choose the right wine? The fresher, sweet styles are made from grapes that have been left on the vine for longer to ripen to higher sugar levels. You may be familiar with the word spatlese on such wines. It's German for 'late-harvested'. These wines are as sweet as really ripe, fresh fruit and go well with something like a juicy peach.

 

sweet wines

 

If the grapes are left on the vine for a little longer, they can be infected by a kind of mould (oh, is that what it is???) called botrytis, or 'noble rot', which shrivels the berries and makes for a sweeter wine. The two most common grape varieties are riesling and semillon. Botrytis-affected riesling tends to be very sweet but zesty, while Botrytis semillon are richer, softer and fuller-flavoured. The sweetest wines of all are the fortifieds- muscat, tokay and port - with the word 'liqueur' on the label.

So, now that you know all this you can enjoy your wine with dessert too! Hooray.

Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 10-Nov-2008

The endocrine system is one of the body's main systems for communicating, controlling and coordinating the body's work. The foundations of the endocrine system are the hormones and glands. A gland is a group of cells that produces and secretes, or gives off, chemicals. "Hormone" means to "excite" or "spur on" and that's exactly what hormones do.

It works with the nervous system, reproductive system, kidneys, gut, liver, pancreas and fat to help maintain and control the following:

  • body energy levels
  • reproduction
  • growth and development
  • internal balance of body systems, called homeostasis
  • responses to surroundings, stress and injury

How to increase your Metabolism...
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 05-Nov-2008

Metabolism is the process developing energy from the consumed food. Metabolism is the rate at which your body uses energy, or, burns calories. Your resting metabolism measures the number of calories required to keep your body functioning. Even while we sleep our metabolism is working. Your body is using up energy to keep running to make your heart beat, your kidneys function, and so on. To get a general idea of what your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) , multiply your weight by 10. If you weight 150 pounds then your BMR = 150 x 10 kcal/lb = 1,500 kcals (kcals stands for the number calorie burned).
