Drink Matcha Green Tea to Combat Heart Disease
Of all the health scares out there, if there’s one that we should really take seriously, it has to be heart disease. Resulting into no less than a quarter of the total deaths in the United States annually, most of us have already lost someone to it, or at least know someone struggling with symptoms related to heart health. The good news is, there are things we can do to prevent heart disease, and one of them is merely changing how we eat and drink.

Gnomes and Other Ponderings
Two years after World of Warcraft Online was released to the world, my sister and I joined in. Fresh from a disappointing refurbishment of the game Star Wars: Galaxies—which I swear didn’t need an overhaul at all, just little improvements—we set off to create characters in Azeroth. Gnomes? Who doesn’t love gnomes?! WoW gnomes are cuter than garden gnomes, by the way. Irean, my gnome frost mage, wasn’t my first toon—and definitely not the last—but she’s been my favourite all these years. I've been caught up in a new toon craze for awhile—especially any class that now has a gnome version—but I always find myself turning back to my mage. She started as frost and will stay frost so long as she exists. World of Warcraft was a big part of my life for eleven years. For now, I’m done with WoW, but I may eventually come back; but first an explanation of why this came about.

America's Dependence on Processed Food
I depend on fast food like any other college student. I grab my coffee from Starbucks in the morning, my burrito from Del Taco for lunch, and a chicken sandwich from Carl’s Jr for dinner. Since my dad works and my mom is sick, they both depend on me to make them food when I get home but, I buy them McDonald's instead because I don’t have time to cook. On weekends, my boyfriend visits me and we go out to eat. It’s an endless cycle that will go on for the rest of my life or until I die of a heart disease. As my dependence on processed food grows, so does our nation's. America’s dependence on processed food is what is causing our nation's slow death of addiction and illnesses. We know it can cause these complications but yet, we still indulge.

Fitness Journal – How to Take Control of My Diet
Since I have started my fitness journey I have been thinking of ways to manage one of the main factors that has always pulled me down: diet. Once it comes to food I am just not strong enough to resist my fettuccine alfredo with shrimp or fried chicken with all of the fixings. Or a decadent chocolate cake with six different types of chocolate with a heaping scoop of strawberry cheesecake ice cream. So I have been racking my brain as to how I was going to get my diet under control so I can finally see some results. I have taken these few steps to overhaul my diet so that I don’t have any excuses for my diet anymore. We have to start with baby steps before we dive headlong into the big leagues. I tried that one time and I was miserable for at least six weeks just completely converting to veganism for Lent. So now that I’ve learned my lesson, let’s start with these baby steps!

Spring Clean the Body With: Papaya Seeds. Top Story - March 2018.
Papaya seeds. Why you should eat these potent little mother f*ckers. Papaya seeds are often just the “gross” insides we throw away to eat that delicious super fruit or meat of the actual Papaya itself. However, BOTH are highly beneficial for us.

Why Diets Never Work
Weight Watchers, Slim Fast, Jenny Craig, among others have tried to convince us for years that these diets are proven to effectively help us lose weight and keep the pounds off. The truth is, these methods of dieting never help to keep the weight off. Diets are never successful and seldom result in a positive impact on anyone. Diets never work because as soon as we tell ourselves we are fat and we need to achieve an ideal body weight, our self-esteem declines and the negative thought patterns emerge along with loathing and self-depercation also begins to rear is ugly head. Not to mention the constant fustration of keeping the weight off, the self degregation worsens if we cannot keep the weight off and maintain a desired body weight for a lengthy period of time. No matter how well structured the diet plan or compassionate the fitness trainer, diets never work. This is when we become considerably depressed and we just want to give up and reach for that bag of Doritos and chocolate cake. Not only do we not reach our goal to lose weight, in this senerio, unwanted pounds start to pack on and we end up having to start over. Instead of putting yourself though unnecessary emotional and physical hell from going on any diet, try these simple techniques instead. Lose weight safely and effectively. Set realistic goals to see the results that you know are within reach.
