Most people try to come up with the perfect recipe for their breakfast.

However, what most people don’t know is that perfect may actually mean oversize.

For example, I started my day with a big bowl of cereals all covered in fat milk and a muffin or an apple to round up the picture.

At some point, after screening this morning menu, I realized that my breakfast was over 330 calories. Not such a good start, right? Well, after serious investigations and a couple of experiments this is what I learned:

Although the weather is quite gloomy these days and it’s been raining a lot, I am planning a long cycle in the weekend.

I found that cycling was the only sport I did regularly and I enjoyed the most.

I don’t do it only for the health benefits, but also it is a lovely way to escape urban scenery.

All my life I’ve been told that sitting up straight should be the only position to sit in, because it helps prevent back pain, spinal stenosis, lumbar pain, herniated discs and of course improves our posture.

However according to a research led by Scottish and Canadian scientists and presented at the annual meeting of Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), show that the best position to relieve the spinal strain is leaning back at about 135 degrees.

The researchers used a new form of MRI, to determine which are the best, and which are the worst positions for our spine. Twenty two volunteer (more…)

Who doesn’t enjoy a nice dinner out?

You don’t have to cook, there are no dishes to wash afterwards….there are some obvious benefits from eating out.
