Global Warming Can Be Avoided

A few independent observations by me has left me to a realization that i can actively contribute to the mass movement that has begun to curb the rate of global warming. Here, i share them with the general public:

1. Gonna get rid of my black hair- it's gonna be me with my shaved pate now: Black and other dark colored hair absorbs more heat than it radiates. So, more hair I have, the more heat you retain, the more I contribute to global warming.
   The question is, whether my 'sacrifice' would be worth it. What with my hair thinning everyday- it's only a matter of time before I dont actually NEED to shave my pate... it will be naturally barren.
   
2. Trying to quit smoking: The more I smoke, the more I emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and the more I become a cause of Global Warming.

'Economic' Air Travel

Given the ever increasing fuel prices, the air fares have skyrocketed to as high as the aircrafts flying in the air. It has become increasingly important to think about how to make our air travels more economical, to get more value for money. Adverse situations call for unique measures, and after much thought, I have concluded that the following will make air travels worth every penny:

1. Carry baggage which weighs just under, or is exactly, the maximum limit allowed.
2. Put on weight. More weight = more fuel burnt to transport me from Point A to Point B = more value for money.

Eat Healthy, Sil Vous Plait ;)

Has anyone ever wondered how the French manage to stay trim, even while eating many of the things we are advised to avoid, like butter, eggs, and cheese? Even though they enjoy rich foods denied to most dieters, they still manage to have lower cholesterol levels and less heart disease than most others! Look at the statistics- 11% of French adults are said to be obese, while 3 times as many Americans suffer from that condition.

And it's not only about the French- we see that even our previous generations stayed healthy after eating a lot of food that we abstain from in quest for a ‘healthy’ living and diet. They even lived longer, had a fewer health problems during their lifetimes, and enjoy the food without ever feeling guilty!

So, what’s missing?

Let’s take a look at what they eat, or ate. Their typical diet includes more fresh food, such as bread, fruit and vegetables. That means that they consume less processed foods, which tend to contain high carbohydrates and preservatives. Thus, what they eat is generally more healthy and nutritious than what we consume. Choosing foods that are natural rather than processed when we cook go a long way towards improving our health, our waistline, and our satisfaction level with eating.

How you eat is also an important factor. Most of the people who are seen to enjoy good health give priority to mealtimes, making them a social and family experience. That way, they eat less, feel satisfied with their meals, and also get to enjoy the rich food and drink that we often tend to feel guilty about. They don’t just eat for the sake of eating- they embrace the joy of eating. Modern lifestyle has resulted in people wolfing down food on the run, while running from one place to the next. The result? Health problems, increasing waistlines, and not getting to enjoy the food we are eating. It’s official: Studies have shown that when we make time for meals and eat at a more relaxed pace, we end up being more satisfied with what we have consumed, even though we actually have eaten less food.

All we gotta do is break up our meals in courses with smaller portions, take smaller bites, and let our taste buds experience all the flavor that each bite has to offer!!

Happy eating... oops, mealing!!
