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.

Veganism
I live on a vegan diet. I do not see myself being vegan as everyone else may see. I do not watch what I am wearing or take part in any animal cruelty debates. I do it simply because it has a great impact on my health. By becoming vegan, I have found myself to have more energy and well as feeling better about myself. I found it hard at first because I was so used to eating meat and having dairy products that I found it pretty much impossible. I slowly eased myself off meat then I focused on the dairy products. This will make sure that I do not give up and I slowly work my way up.

6 Signs That You Have a Gluten Intolerance
"Gluten" is sort of an umbrella term for the proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. It is naturally occurring, and certainly not inherently evil, but like the word “fat”—one of the main macronutrients in our food—“gluten” has gotten a bad reputation, in part due to some of the widespread gluten myths that people still believe.

Donuts Help Me Stay In Shape
It has come to the point where I no longer talk about food or anything fitness related around one of my friends. In the beginning, she reacted in awe as she noticed how I could eat donuts, chocolate, french fries and pizza everyday or every other day and not gain a pound. While I indulge in these delicious yet supposedly diet-killing foods, she refrains from eating anything with flour, sugar or fat; or so she says. My friend assumes I am genetically blessed, and constantly tells me how she wishes she could have my metabolism. However, what was initially light-hearted jealousy soon turned into all out envy. Well, great. Now I feel bad.

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.
