Importance of having Breakfast

Posted by Rexted on January 20, 2007

Below is an article I have receive thru e-mail. I think it is worth to share this. It is an important matter for our health. I don’t know the source of this article. Whoever you are .. Thanks. :)

Breakfast can help prevent strokes, heart attack and sudden death. Advice on not to skip breakfast!

Healthy living
For those who always skip breakfast, you should stop that habit now! You’ve heard many times that “Breakfast is the most important meal 

 of the day.” Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast.
Why?


Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks between 6:00a.m. and noon, with the highest incidence being
between 8: 00a.m. and 10:00a.m.What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early
morning hours?
We may have an Answer.

Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to Death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due to
cholesterol or laque buildup in the artery lining. It is in the morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these  internal blood clots at the greatest frequency.
However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes. Studies performed at Memorial University in St.Johns,   Newfoundland found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk. So if you skip breakfast, it’s important that you change this practice immediately  in light of this research. Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes, along with six ounces of grape juice  or orange juice, and perhaps a piece of fruit. This simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together, keep blood clots from  forming, and perhaps head off a potential Heart Attack or stroke. So never ever skip breakfast

I hope that upon reading this article you will never hesitate to have your breakfast

Bloggy Award Review

Posted by Rexted on January 20, 2007

It is an honor for me to received an honest review of my site by Bloggy Award and I would like to commend them for that. I appreciate the grade 6 that they have given me for Reading Enjoyment, since when I check some of my post it is really having a wrong grammar :) and even without proper punctuation marks. I think after this review, I will try to be careful on my grammars so that my readers in future will be happy reading this Blogs. :) .

For the Visual Aesthetics I think it can be changed if I have my own domain. Since I cannot edit the templates.

But still I think a total grade of 8 is not bad..

You may see their review below and available here.

An Expression of Myself

A personal journal of a man who loves his family and is working hard to provide for them. You can read Rexted’s thoughts on family, Christianity, business, and everything Tech in here.

Visual Aesthetics - 8

This blog looks very organized and has a simple but nice safe color scheme. However it looks a bit to utilitarian for me and it looks pretty cold. It would be better if the entries’ fonts were a bit larger than the fonts used on the link on the sidebar because I find myself drawn to read the sidebar contents more than the entries.

User Friendliness - 10

A very very organized blog. It is quite impossible to get lost in this blog since everything has its place. Very readable and navigable.

Reading Enjoyment - 6

Writing is not one of the author’s strong points. His English is peppered with grammatical errors but you can understand the point he’s trying to conveying. You can’t really take it against him though since English is not his native language though a bit of editing will go a long way in making his posts more enjoyable to read.

User Info - 10

Since the author is into tech stuff this blog has lots of useful information to yield. Aside from the usual tech stuff you can also read about life as an Overseas Foreign Worker in Saudi Arabia, his native country - the Philippines, business, and Christianity.

Overall Experience - 8

A pretty average blog. A blog with lots of useful information and lots of improvements still to be made in terms of visual appeal and in the author’s writing skills.

Thanks for the review. I will try my best to have a nice blog.
