The Kranking workout, which is designed by Johnny G (the same person who established the Spinning indoor cycling program), is the latest craze in gyms across the country these days. Kranking, simply put, is “cycling for your arms.” Continue reading ‘Who Wants To Go Kranking?’
As a self-confessed fish and seafood lover, I am really pleased with this study that says regularly eating non-fried fish may help preserve memory and prevent the occurrence of stroke. Researchers say that 3 or more weekly helpings of baked or broiled tuna and other types of fish high in omega-3 fatty acids are less likely to develop “silent” brain lesions that can lead to stroke. Welcome news indeed! Continue reading ‘Study: Fish Boosts Memory, Helps Prevent Stroke’

Admit it, you want to so badly to lose the unwanted pounds but since you find it so difficult and taxing to do, you want to blame the whole “why in the world am I so fat” thing to other possible factors. You know…stress (the gym is three blocks away and I’m so tired after 8 hours of doing nothing at work!), media and creative advertising (damn those people behind the chocolatey goodness of Cadbury!), lack of peer pressure (if your friends aren’t too “body conscious” then who would ridicule you until you finally slave yourself at the treadmill?) and even on the weird conspiracy theory “how do we know that obesity is not the next step in human evolution?” So come on, stop sipping that Starbucks blended coffee and stop chewing on that greasy cheeseburger.

Not only should we ladies get that regular teeth cleaning sessions, eye check ups and visits to the dermatologist, we should also undergo certain tests that may prove to be life saving. Here are four medical tests that may save your life (please don’t hesitate to share this with your friends or better yet, direct them to this page!):
1. Test high sensitivity C-reactive protein
This test measures the amount of inflammation in your body by examining levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) in your bloodstream. Our bodies naturally produce inflammatory responses in order to ward off infections and heal wounds. However, high levels of that may cause the blood vessels to harden and that’s not a good thing.
Now if you’re one who has the symptoms of heart disease (have high levels of cholesterol and high blood pressure), then you must undergo this test. Ask for the high-sensitivity CRP test rather than the standard one, which is used for diagnosing conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease.
If you have a medical insurance plan, ask if this test is covered. Generally, the test costs about $60.
