He just ate what?

Why are people fat? Why are some people thin? There are a lot of information here to make us knowledgeable on Nutrition and how to stay health and lean. But how about observing the people around you?

Less Sleep = More Fat

My friend and I recently discussed weight loss and the reason why I have been getting heavier despite keeping my carbohydrate and fat intake low.

He told me that not getting enough sleep everyday keeps our metabolism rate slower. Aside from that he mentioned that the body was adjusting because of our survival’s instincts. He said the body stores more fat to keep us safe because of lack of sleep and tiredness.

That said, I believe that the more sleep we have the more energy we have for the day. So instead of sitting on our desk feeling tired and weak we are able to move faster and thus burn more calories.

Car Muscle Push

Yesterday when my sister and I was about to leave the mall; the car would not start for some reason. After trying and figuring out what to do we decided to park it in a safe place 600 meters away from where we were.

What we did was my sister drove the wheel while I pushed the car. It was heavy given the angle and the humps along the way.

As I was pushing the car I realized how handy my gym workouts have been. My maximum 225lb bench press was used.

Its good to be fit and it sure comes handy during emergency situations.
