Vinegar & Watermelon are Health Products
I read this article from an email.
So this household products can help us regulate our sugar level. Would you believe that Vinegar can help us clamp down our sugar level?? Well, it does. While some Carbo foods like Rice, potatoes, pasta, etc. spikes up our sugar level, vinegar will help us regulate it.
The watermelon, on the other hand, is full of lycopene that helps us crush cancer cells. It loaded with water, therefore keeping us Hydrated. Here is the full message from my email.

Household Staple That Steadies Blood Sugar
You use it for cooking, cleaning, gardening, and a hundred other household chores. But for your blood sugar?
You bet. Seems vinegar — the tart stuff in tasty vinaigrettes and marinades — may help clamp down on blood sugar spikes from eating starchy carbs like potatoes and pasta.
Keep It Steady
Keeping blood sugar from surging may cut down on diabetes risk in the long run. But stabilizing blood sugar can do good things instantly, too — like stymieing hunger pangs, keeping your energy up, and keeping pounds off. To get the blood sugar benefit of vinegar, try pairing starchy foods with vinegar-based sauces or dressings. Or start a meal with a salad dressed in oil and vinegar.
Reality Check
Of course, a shot of vinegar will only go so far when it comes to keeping your blood sugar steady. To really ward off blood sugar problems, you’ll need to:
Get moving . . . so your body uses blood sugar better. Try this easy-on-the-joints workout.
Load up . . . on low-glycemic-index foods that help keep blood sugar stable. We’re talking high-fiber fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Check out this video on how fiber helps digestive health, too.
Pare down . . . maintaining a healthy weight helps reduce your risk of diabetes.

Watermelon: 3 Juicy Benefits
A cool wedge of watermelon on a hot summer day? Refreshing, for sure.
But watermelon is more than just a seasonal treat. Here are three great health reasons to dig into this juicy fruit:
It’s loaded with lycopene. Watermelon juice actually gave tomato juice a run for the money in a recent study of lycopene levels. That’s good news for your body, because early research suggests that lycopene may be a cancer crusher.
It can make your skin pretty. Watermelon is loaded with a key compound credited with helping skin’s healing and regenerative processes. Say no more — bring on the melon!
It’s practically calorie-free. With fewer than 50 calories in every cup, watermelon is one smart way to satisfy a sweet tooth. And with a whopping 141 grams of water per cubed cup, watermelon will keep you hydrated, too.
Nature’s way of Healthy Living
I’ve read this product review about ALIVE. It may sound and look like an ordinary food supplement, but if you look closer, its not. The product’s ingredient came from natural sources, unlike others that use factory-made additive. Its natural sources contain green food blend (spirulina and chlorella, veggies, fruits, medicinal mushrooms, etc) which all fight off diseases that could prove to be life threatening. In short, it makes us stringer and healthier by the minute.

Coconut better than Gatorade?
I noticed this when I climbed Mount Makulot and Daguldol. I also have Gatorade in my bag. The purpose of Gatorade is to replenish energy and electrolytes that was used during a workout or any activities. But when I drank some coconut juice, I felt stronger. It was really refreshing. It made me feel that I’m ready to go for more. IMHO, a coconut will not just quench your thirst but will also satisfy your hunger. A complete food? Perhaps. But for me, its better than Gatorade or any energy drink. 
Above is our picture during our mountaineering expedition at Mount Daguldol. We had our share of coconuts while taking a break. REFRESHING!!!!
To Eat or Not to Eat
I got this from Yahoo, saying that some foods from a fast food chain would give you less calories compared to others. More of, its a matter of choosing the right food from the right fast food chain. To have a better view of what I’m saying, just read this article.
”
Take, for example, America’s two most famous burgers: the Whopper with Cheese and the Big Mac. A fair fight, right? Well, if you go for the Arch alternative, you’ll save 220 calories over the BK Behemoth. (A Big Mac has 540 calories and 29 grams of fat, compared to the Whopper’s 760 calories and 47 grams of fat!)
Use that strategy for every burger you eat in 2008, and you’ll save 22,000 calories - the equivalent of almost six pounds of body fat. You don’t have to (nor should you) live on Big Macs; pick an even leaner burger and save even more.
See, the way you pick your favorite fixes - from burgers to banana splits - could help you make the transition from chubby to chiseled. In researching our new book Eat This, Not That!, we found that the most effective weight-loss strategy doesn’t require you to abandon the foods you love, but simply to make better choices when selecting them.
Supplement that approach with plenty of fresh produce and lean protein throughout the week, and you’ll trade failed diets and wild weight fluctuations for healthy eating patterns and a lean, new you. And once you learn how it’s done, you can stay that way forever. Who wouldn’t make that swap?”
For example:
“Beer
Drink This:
Guinness Draught
125 calories
10 g carbohydrates
Not That!
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
175 calories
15 g carbohydrates
Save 50 calories a beer!
Surprised? Most people think of Guinness as a beer milkshake: dark, thick, and rich enough to inspire guilt at first sip. But switch out a six-pack a week and you’ve just saved yourself more than four pounds this year. Extend those savings even further with Beck’s Premier Light: At 64 calories a bottle, it doesn’t get any lighter than this.
Doughnut
Eat This:
Dunkin’ Donuts Glazed Donut
230 calories
10 g fat
12 g sugars
Not That!
Dunkin’ Donuts Glazed Cake Donut
330 calories
18 g fat
18 g sugars
Save 100 calories and 8 grams of fat!
Both are cloaked in sugar, but their original doughnuts are light and airy because they’re made with yeast, and cake donuts are heavy and dense because they’re made with cake batter. Remember: Cake is not a breakfast food. ”
So it really is a matter of choice.
