Healthy kids in Florida

According to the Sun-Sentinel, lawmakers are persuading a bill in which schools will be required to offer physical education or PE every day. I think it would be very beneficial for children to learn the importance of practicing a sport and to become good at it, since we have seen little kids suffering from diabetis and other health related problems such as obesity, to the lack of exercise and healthy eating habits.

Steve's expresso = Unhealthy FAU's coffee shop

Like most of the students at FAU, we rely on the little cafeteria that FAU's Fort Lauderdale campus has. To my misfortune, Steve's Expresso only sell high calorie foods, like pizza, hamburgers, and sandwiches. But, I found an interesting way of saving calories. First, if you like wraps or sandwiches, try to get whole wheat bread or wraps, the difference between whole wheat and white bread is 62 kcal. If you like cheese I suggest you to have an American cheese which contains 369 Kcal less than the Provolone cheese, same when deciding whether to buy a diet soda versus the regular.

For snacks, I highly suggest you to eat an apple which contains 70 Kcal, this fruit is actually a negative calorie food, this means that instead of adding calories to your body it actually helps you lose some.

Chinese food is bad for you

I always thought that Chinese food wasn't as bad as eating McDonald's or BK, but to my surprise Chinese food contains more calories in a meal that someone needs the entire day. For instance, an egg roll contains 200 calories, cup of rice has another 200 calories, a plate of stir-fried green has 900 calories, six steamed pork dumplings has 500 calories; this meal contains about 1,800 calories and an adult is supposed to eat 2,000 calories a day! So, if you still want to eat Chinese food once in a while, I suggest that you only eat half of everything and take the other half home.

Stay healthy!

Vitamins aren't always good

Hello guys,

In a recent scientific study on vitamins it was discovered that some of these vitamins that are often recommended by our doctor such as Vitamins A, E and beta carotene supplements to prolong life, may shorten lifespan.

I usually do not take any vitamins, but I know a lot of people that do it; so if you take vitamins or know someone that does it, pass the this article along.
