Energy Drinks : And The Coming Invasion

Tucked in the peaceful confines of terrains of bliss, tranquility and relaxation, Germans are abruptly being awakened, jolted and surprised by a most disturbing creature, place of origin unknown.

Take the family of four who decided to pack their clothes, trunks topped with lager and two, teenage kids, both boys, about sixteen and seventeen years of age, who decided to get away from the city life for a three day weekend. All scenarios played out with the regular expectations as they had numerous experience previously when they made the same journey, in pursuit of fresh air, rolling landscapes and anywhere the ring of a phone couldn’t get to them.

Everything looked as it had always been. Their car pushed into the sharp turns of a climbing hill, burning the tires every now and then. The kids were soundly asleep with dreams of God knows what, but since one of the boys had drool dripping from the shadow of his lips, one might guess their thoughts were of events and pleasures not yet experienced.

Ellen, mom, also was in a bottomless slumber, perhaps caused by the jarring white noise of the car engine heaving itself up yet another car-eating hill.

It is only thanks to the evidently, hidden camera, ironically perfectly positioned to capture what no one in their right mind could have predicted. Perhaps, a coincidence being the same day Kfee energy drink was being introduced to the country. But, what was clearly meant to be a television commercial representing a tranquil setting was unfortunately thrust into the soon to be legendary scary German energy drink commercial , maybe one hundred and eighty degrees in the reverse direction of all original intentions.

No one could have predicted it, and unless there was a video camera at a distance to capture the bigger picture, citizens of Germany may not be panically pacing, losing sleep and up at all hours completely perplexed and stunned by what was filmed. Despite having video evidence, to date, German authorities have kept silent about what happened that day. Perhaps to cover it up, or act like it never happened, but one thing is for certain, the rest of the world will never be the same again. The invasion is starting.

Naturally higher than a kite on most days, Dave is the dude who likes to drink energy drinks and has been captivating a growing audience every energy drinks pass his lips. To note, you are welcome to come along, while the fun continue.

Eating Healthily: Improving Your Habits

One of the best habits that anybody can develop is eating healthily. Healthy eating habits goes a long way in maintaining your health. As the old adage goes, ‘We are what we eat’. Aside from doing exercise routines, eating healthily is the other side of the equation.

The conditions for healthy eating are much different than it was a generation ago. No longer is a healthy diet about eating ‘three square meals’ per day. In fact, this expression originated from the British navy, referring to the wooden square plates that cooks used to serve food. While the naval diet is not exactly healthy (as you may know, Scurvy was a common disease in the Seven Seas), the tips outlined below are sure to keep your body energized:

* Watch how many calories you eat. Do not eat too much or too little. As a general rule of thumb, the recommended value per day is 2000 calories. There are other factors to consider, however, such as age, height, weight, and amount of physical activity.

* Eat a wide variety of food. Do not just eat within one food group all the time. You should maintain a healthy diet that includes vegetables, whole grains, and fruits. Feel free to explore different foods!

* Eat the proper serving. Nowadays, restaurants give you portions that are way too large, which contributes to the obesity rates everywhere. The word ‘supersize’ has unfortunately entered our vocabulary. In other cultures, the food portions are much smaller (and consequently much less expensive). The next time you dine out at a restaurant, split up any large restaurant dishes between multiple people. Not only do you save money, but you are also eating healthier!

* As mentioned before, eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Your body needs a fine balance of complex carbohydrates (or whole grains, such as whole wheat and brown rice). These are used more slowly in your body, thus keeping you full for a longer period of time. Fresh organic local produce is also highly recommended.

* Drink lots of water. Although the myth of drinking 8 glasses of water per day has been debunked, we should still drink plenty of fluids daily. Water is one of the healthiest substances in this planet. Our bodies are consists of 80% water.

* Eat less refined sugar, salt, and grain. We put excessive amounts of unhealthy condiments into our food. While it makes our meals taste better, it also contributes to an unhealthy lifestyle. Too much sugar contributes to diabetes and obesity, while too much salt may give us heart problems. A recent study shows that Canadians eat 50% too much sodium, contributing to a wide variety of health problems.

* Exercise regularly. Eating a healthy diet is only part of the equation. If you add in routine physical activity, you can further improve your well-being.

Eating healthily is a step by step process. All of the tips above should not be implemented at once. Instead, you should slowly work these habits into your life at a pace that makes you feel comfortable. The best way to develop healthy eating habits is through time, patience, and commitment.

In order to lead a healthy life, you must understand the mechanisms behind maintaining your physical and emotional well-being. Follow this informative health advice blog for more useful resources on enhancing your healthy lifestyle.
