Cooking is always part of our lives since the beginning of human civilization.
Many women enjoy cooking and some regard it as a hobby.Every culture all over the world
has its own method of cooking.
The method of cooking is dynamic and it is completely transforming.
This article I read is about the benefits of cooking your own food.We are what we eat.
Joy MacCarthy, a nutritionist, suggest "we should cook our own food." Firstly, you make better choices when you cook your own food.This helps us to cut down on processed foods.When we buy raw vegetables from the market we have many options to make which will benefit the body.Healthier choices also leads to healthier meals at home.The Public Health Nutrition found that those who cook six days a week consume less calories than those who eat out.
Secondly, you will eliminate the guessing game. Actually when you eat at a restaurant you have no idea what's actually in the meal. Examples are: how much salt is in that soup,does the sauce contain any sugar, and others.Cooking at home will remove all this guesswork.Thirdly, you will eat more mindfully.This actually opens your eyes to what is in your food and how you eat it.
Lastly you will find out that it is easier to cook than you think. "If you can read, you can cook," McCarthy says.Start with simple breakfast and dinner every week.In reality simple foods are the healthiest.
Let us all cut down processed foods and start cooking our own foods and have a happier and healthy life.

Sit up and put your phone down.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/21/health/sitting-will-kill-you/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_health+%28RSS%3A+Health%29
This is a shocking article I read just recently: sitting can cause damage to your health.
Our present world is all about sitting.We sit in our cars to work. Sit when we are working and also watching television.It is one of our favorite activities in our everyday life.
A new stunning research made by researchers from Toronto is that, when we sit for more than 8 to 12 hours a day we reduce our lifespan and we are also prone to diseases like diabetes.
They also adjusted their data to find out that the sitting that we typically do each day outweights the benefit we get from exercise. In fact just exercising one hour a day and sitting the whole day cannot do you any good.
"Our human body system was not designed to sit always,"said by chief medical correspondent(Dr. Sunjay Gupta)
So! what can we do to prevent sitting always?
One should just be aware of how much he or she is sitting everyday.If you are working you can try to stand or walk a minute to three once every half an hour.
You can also drink a lot of water to prevent you from sitting always.If you are also watching a movie do not skip a commercial but try to stand or take a walk during the commercials.
I am very sure each and every one of us are prone to sit all day and we have to take action and do a lot of walking and standing.
This will be a great benefit and I hope you enjoyed this article. You can also watch the movie on the site i have posted.

Don't forget space is dangerous.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/04/opinion/urry-space-dangerous/index.html.
I read this article about sending humans to space to prove that there is life in space.
A match into space appears to be gathering speed, and 'Mars One' says it plans to establish human settlement on Mars by 2025. However future astronauts think very carefully that space is a dangerous and unpredictable place.
For years, scientists have used satellite experiment to study the environment of space from the Earth to the Sun.
They showed that energetic particles regularly stream toward the earth.Humans would not be able to survive in this region for a long time.
James Van Allen, a pioneering space physicist said,"a living organism cannot survive this level of radiation damage."
There are many questions about this if it worth it. And also it is very dangerous to send humans to do this exploration project.
We might think of the sun as a gentle,essential neighbor but it is also an ever-changing, violent,extreme particle accelerator. As such,the effects of the sun on the earth is very beneficial by providing heat, light and energy.
Thanks to dedicated space science research, we now know much more about how particles are accelerated in violent solar storms.
All these should help us realize the importance of space.Space in not a luxury. Instead, it is very vital to our present and there are more discoveries to be revealed.
I think for now there is no evidence that humans or living organism can survive there.

Online users in China more than double the entire population of U.S.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/03/world/china-internet-growth-2014/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_tech+%28RSS%3A+Technology%29
This article is about how China has grown in the use of internet.
China's online users are now more than double the entire population of U.S. China, which is now the most populated country in the world, now has surpassed 649 million users. The China Internet Network Information Center, documented online usage in the country in 2014 and identified the staggering number of connected Chinese citizens.
Mobile internet was largely accredited for the increase, with 557 million using smartphones and tablets to connect. The rate of growth for mobile users was higher than the overall increase.
This is as a result of 57 million new mobile users logging on last year.
Comparing the population size to the growth of online users, the majority of 52.1 of Chinese still have no access to the internet.The United States has the second highest internet users with 280 million, followed by India and Japan according to World Bank and others.
China's "Great Firewall" is also getting harder to break through.The use of mobile internet with smartphones is now a boom to mobile companies like Apple and others.
However there is a cost of huge competitive disadvantage, as government insist that foreign companies give up source code and back-end data on their Chinese-bound products.
