Sheik Md Jalal Uddin asks:
I am suffering from diabetes [sic].
Is rice ok for diabetes?
How do I measure it?
Thank you for asking, Sheik. You have at least three options to choose from. In my opinion, using the Glycemic Index (GI) is a simple tool to determine the type of rice that is best not only for people with diabetes, but also for individuals suffering from glucose intolerance, a symptom often overlooked that precedes a number of medical conditions including inflammatory diseases. To refresh your memory, GI measures how rapid carbohydrates affect the blood glucose (sugar) levels, within two hours of intake. Think of it as a ranking system for carbs; the lower the value, the lesser effect on glucose levels. If you have a very selective palate, may I recommend that you skip to the last choice, Basmati rice, otherwise, if you are after the best type for regulating glucose levels, not so much the taste, kindly continue to the Continue reading ‘Three Rice Options for Diabetics’

Yoga
Yoga is an exercise system that helps the body maintain body and mind balance. This type of exercise improves breathing and if you ever had experienced such, you can experience a relatively high degree of flexibility and tolerance to stress.
I have tried attending several sessions of Yoga and it was fun! It creates an entirely different you and I would say that it even improved my posture and added some centimetres to my extremities and torso.
Yoga increases the stretching capacity of your muscles and bones so it is but proper to note that Yoga can help tone and muscle development of your back and other parts of the body and helps add a permanent inch/es to your height.
To sum it up, Yoga increases height due to three things:
1. Stretches muscles and helps them stay strong
2. Helps lengthen the bone of the upper and lower limbs
3. Stretching may help add an inch between spine disks due to repeated
stretching and decompression

Before trying on a new weight loss program or deciding to enroll in another gym class, consider some practical ways that can help rid unwanted pounds. These ways have been carefully studied by health experts and are likely to significantly aid in one’s slimming pursuit.
- Scientists and experts believe that the color blue is actually an appetite suppressant, while the colors red and yellow are appetite enhancers. This may be the reason behind the absence of blue and the excess of yellows and reds in restaurant logos, signage, even decorations and interior. Surrounding yourself in blue especially during meal times may help suppress hunger resulting to less food consumption. Serve food in blue plates, cover you table with a blue table cloth, add touches of blue in your dinning area, whichever works.
- Another practical weight loss strategy is to downsize your dinner plates. Dinner plates commonly measure 10 to 14 inches, instead of using these, we can serve our food in salad plates that measure about 7 to 9 inches wide. Scientists and researchers believe that the less food served, the less food you eat. Smaller plates equal smaller servings = lesser food consumption.
Serving food on plates rather than putting them in separate bowls is another practical way of losing weight. This is helpful in controlling food consumption since once you finish your plate, there are not bowls to reach into for seconds or thirds.
Hanging a mirror opposite to where you are seated while eating has been proven to decrease food consumption by as much as 30%. Seeing yourself in the mirror while eating is a constant reminder of your weight loss goals and inner standards.
