Best Foods For Sex

  OK It's no secret that the American diet is causing an epidemic of obesity. But there's another hidden epidemic that our fast food diets are at the root of that no one wants to talk about and that's sex.
Yes I said sex..No one wants to talk about having a low sex drive, especially guys. We rather push magic pills like Viagra instead of exercising and eating the right foods that can help us in the long run.

  Obesity is one of the biggest problems causing sexual disfunction or low libido in both men and women. As a person's weight soars their sex drive can plummet. This is due to biochemical changes that diminish blood flow. Here are a couple of foods that will help you get your mojo back in the bedroom. (or living room or couch or kitchen or bathroom lol.) Whatever you prefer. (-:

DARK CHOCOLATE

It's full of anandamide and phenylethylamine. (I know what your thinking anawhat and phenywho lol) All you need to know is that these two compounds can cause the body to release the same feel-good endorphins triggered by sex and exercise. Cocoa also contains methylxanthines, which can make your skin sensitive to every little touch. Eat up but keep the portions small.

STEAK

Steak is full of protein which can naturally boost your levels of norepine and dopamine. These two chemicals can heighten sensitivity in the brain during sex. Steak is also packed with zinc-a mineral that boosts sex drive by reducing the production of a hormone that can interfere with arousal.

VANILLA ICE CREAM

Ice cream is full of calcium and phosphorus, two minerals that can build your muscles' energy reserves and boost your sex drive. All that calcium in ice cream can also make you more sexually charged, since the muscles that control sexual response need calcium in order to contract properly.

BLUEBERRIES

Blueberries are high in soluble fiber, which can help remove excess cholesterol from the blood before it gets absorbed and deposited on artery walls. Blueberries can also relax blood vessels and improve blood flow.(Can you say Viagra)

We're Not Alcoholics

    Most people throw back a couple every now and then including myself but I never thought it could become a problem. According to national surveys 92% of adults who drink excessively report binge drinking in the past 30 days. (Most are probably my friends but hey that's a different story lol.) Binge drinking is defined as a pattern of drinking that brings your blood alcohol concentration to 0.08 grams percent or above. For men this typically happens when you consume 5 or more drinks and women it's about 4 or more drinks,in about 2 hours.
   
  For the most part most people that binge drink are not alcoholics. They can go for days even weeks without having a drink. Which is why it's become such a problem. 75-80% of the alcohol consumed by adults in the U.S is in the form of binge drinking reports the CDC. (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) The proportion of current binge drinkers is highest among 18 to 20 year olds at about (50%). Everyone knows when your in college most likely your gonna go to parties and get wasted (Binge Drink). After college you would think most of us would know better, but 70% of binge drinking episodes involve adults age 26 and older.
 
  Binge drinking has been the cause of many health problems and injuries: Alcohol poisoning, sexually transmitted diseases, Jersey Shore, liver disease and many more. I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy a drink every now and then but be safe people. Like everything else in life moderation is the key. Stay thirsty my friends. (-:

McDonald's Real Fruit Smoothie - Real or Not?

Ok Today I got a coupon to get a McDonald's smoothie and the coupon said Try our "Real Fruit Smoothie". So I decided to try it for my self and find out if it was really made from real fruit. I tried thier Strawberry Banana Smoothie. The FDA requires the ingredient list to be written from greatest to least. Here are the ingredients list for each of thier fruit blend smoothies:

Strawberry Banana Smoothie


Strawberry puree, banana puree, sugar, water, concentrated apple juice, contains less than 1% of the following: Cellulose powder, natural (botanical source) and artificial flavors, xanthan gum, citric acid, colored with fruit and vegetable juice, pectin.

Low Fat Yogurt (Added to both smoothies)

Cultured Grade A reduced fat milk, sugar, whey protein concentrate, fructose, corn starch, kosher gelatin. Contains active yogurt cultures.
 
Calories: 210, Fat: .5 g, Sodium: 35 mg, Carbohydrates: 49 g, Sugar: 44 g, Fiber: 2 g, Protein: 2 g
 
Sugar is the 3rd ingredient on the Smoothie’s list. That means that a large portion of the smoothie is made of  sugar. These smoothies are made with real fruit but they contain a lot of sugar in them. About as much as a mountain dew soda. If you were to drink one of these, expect your blood sugar levels to sky rocket!
 
McDonald’s adds concentrated apple and pineapple juice to the smoothies. Juice concentrate is made by taking away the water from the juice, leaving the flavor and all the sugar. The low fat yogurt uses more sugar ingredients: sugar and fructose. So in all the Mickey D's smoothie is made from real fruit but it also is made up of alot of suger. I think I'll just continue to make my own at home with my Shakeology.

7 Great Tips For Keeping Portions Under Control

We live in a supersized, extra large, all you can eat world. So it's very easy for most of us to overeat. Eating like this to much over time can lead to a load of health risk like heart desease and type 2 diabetes. It only takes a little time and preparation to keep your portions sizes under control.

1. (Bring your lunch) When you make your own lunch you get to control the portion and exactly what's in it.
2. When your at a restuarant share with friends or just order the appetizer for dinner.
3. Don't eat straight out of the box. Odds are if you do you will finish the bag. Read the portion size and take out enough for one portion.
4. Keep healthy snakes at your desk like protein bars
5. Don't finish your food just because it's there. If your full doggie bag it.
6. eat your favorite foods every now and then. have a cheat meal. This way you still have control.
7. Choose items with large portions of veggies instead of fries. This way you still get full but on items that are good for you
