Can Blogging Be Dangerous?

...isn't life itself dangerous? You leave your home cross the street and some maniac hits you with the car and puts you out of activity for weeks of even month?

You drive in your car and suddenly some drunken driver smashes his car in your's...

What is not dangerous today? But when I read the article in NY Times that 3 Americans died because of blogging...it can't be the reason. Honestly this doesn't fit in my head. How many hours are authors working? They work sometimes at day, sometimes at night depending on their inspiration and work-lust. As a writer you don't have that much stress. You can always schedule your time in a manner to finish your writing in time.

If you sit the whole day on your laptop like a slave then something is wrong with your attitude or with your self-love. Everyone needs to stand up a for a while. You need to stretch your legs. You need to walk. You need to exercise your body at least a few times a week.

Even more if you are not the healthiest man. In that case when overdoing your work without having some pause you really don't love your yourself. You don't need a blood pressure monitor when you are a social media professional. You always can distribute your time somehow. Alright you have sometimes stress-days but you also have days with lower work-pressure.

But anyhow you can help yourself to balance your health with working effectively and efficiently. I really loved the article at Zen Habits for great tips on keeping healthy.

There is no recipe which works for all. But everyone has to live his lifestyle according his body. Every body gives somehow a preventive signal when you overdo your work for example. The problem is nobody listens to it. Everybody thinks, "I have no problem with my health, I'm healthy" and suddenly 'Bam' he falls down.

But I wouldn't that incident call something...has to do with a blogger addiction.
By the way many American as we know do not live very healthy because of their eating habits. I think this is a general fact everyone knows.

When working hard like a maniac than you have to eat smart, don't eat junk-food, don't drink soft drinks, no doughnuts and all that sweet stuff.

Exercise on a regular basis. Exercise at least 2-3 times per week. You don't have to go to the gym, you can walk near your living area. You can even exercise in your room at home or in your backyard. Stretching your body, your legs and arms and do some breathing exercises. You also can do some light yoga-positions.

Most people are creative in their work but have no creativity to figure something out for their health.

Why Eat Organic Products?

When you head to the grocery store, shopping for products like eggs, meat, fish, milk, and produce can be very tricky and time consuming. Signs are posted everywhere labeling food as natural, organic, and a number of other things—but what’s the difference, really?
Learning what specific names mean can help you decide if you should shell out extra money on a product or it is simply a marketing ploy. The best thing to do is reading the labels carefully and decide if you should buy a fruit which costs more.

Natural is a turn associated with a number of fruit and vegetable product. Typically, this is simple a marketing ploy to convince you to buy the product. After all, all fruits and vegetables are natural, right? Unless it’s a new kind of food that has been developed and processed, the product is natural. What you really probably want is if the fruit is organic. The National Organic Program (run by the USDA) is in charge of the legal definition of organic in the United States and does organic certification. Buy only products with that certification.

Organic foods are grown without chemical pesticides and fertilizers. There are two main benefits to organic foods. First, you are helping the environment because those chemicals are not being introduced into nature. Secondly, you are avoiding ingesting chemicals and are therefore healthy more healthy foods. However, organic products are usually more expensive.

If you’re on a budget, skip over organic fruits and vegetables that you can peel, like oranges and bananas. After all, once you’ve discarded the peel, you’ve also discarded the chemicals. Instead, opt for organic items like apples, where you eat the peel.
No matter what you buy, however, make sure that you rinse off the food when you get home.

Another tricky label you will see is “no hormones.” This is usually in regards to milk or meat products and is false, since all animals naturally produce hormones. Hormones are what helps an animal (even a human) regulate body organs, have young, and otherwise function.

All meat products have hormones. What the labels really mean is that no hormones were
unnaturally given to the animal, which is sometimes done to increase milk production.
Regardless of hormones, however, the milk and meat is safe for a person and not a violation of an animal’s rights.

Lastly, a label on eggs and meat can indicate if the animal was caged or penned. This does not make a difference in the quality or nutritional value of the meat, but is simply a matter of animal rights. These products may be a bit more expensive, but if you want to make human decisions, that is the way to go. Reading the label and making healthy choices can sometimes be difficult, but learning how to do so can help you make the best choices for your diet.

Food Of The Month

Grapes with the combination of sweet, tart flavor has made them very popular between meal snack as well as a refreshing addition to both fruit and vegetable salads. They are also very delicious when eating alone.

There are great varieties available in the months September and October while European varieties are available year around. You can eat seedless grapes or grapes with seeds.
Children favor more the seedless type of grapes.

History and Classification

According Wikipedia the first botanical names of the plant were assigned in 1696 by Hans Sloane, who called it Prunus maritima racemosa, "maritime grape-cluster Prunus", and Leonard Plukenet, who named it Uvifera Littorea, "grape-bearer of the shore", both names reflect the European concept of "sea-grape". The natives viewed it as a large mulberry.

The first edition of Linnaeus"s Species Plantarum (1753), based on Plukenet, assigned the plant to Ploygonum uvifera and noted flores non vidi< "I have not seen the flowers." In the Civil and Natural History of Jamaica (1756) devised Coccoloba, "red-leaf", for it.

Description

Grapes grow in clusters of 6 to 300. The grapes have different colors from black, dark blue, yellow, green and pink. Whereas, "white" grapes are actually green in color and derived from the red grape. With mutations in genes of white grapes turn off production of Anthocyanins which are responsible for the color of red grapes.(Anthocyanins comes from Greek and are pigments that appear red, purple or blue according to pH).
These pigments and other chemicals in red grapes are responsible for the varying shades of purple in red wines.

Grapes are fruits of the genus vitis. (Genus from Latin genus,generic, "birth, race, stock, kind", which is used in the classification of living and fossil organisms).

Distribution

Greatest percentage of top producers is in Europe whereas Spain, France, Portugal and Italy are the greatest followed by east cost of North America.

Approximately 71% of world grape production is used for wine, approximately 27% is used as fresh fruit, and about 2% as dried fruit. A certain portion of grape production goes to producing "100% natural" grape juice with no added sugar.

Health Benefits

Contrary to the improved eating quality of seedlessness is the loss of potential health benefits provided by the enriched Phytochemical content of grape seeds.

There is evidence from laboratory studies that the phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of cancer. That might be possible due to dietary fibers, polyphenol antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects.

Researchers have discovered that although diets among western countries have higher levels of animal fat there is a surprisingly lower incidence of heart disease in France and the Mediterranean countries. It is believed that this may occur from protective benefits of regularly consuming red wine (resveratrol).

Even so adoption of wine consumption is not recommended by health authorities, but significant information of research indicates that a moderate consumption, such as a glass or two of red wine will contribute to health benefits.

Resveratrol an antioxidant has been positively linked to lower the risk of cancer and heart disease, degenerative nerve disease, viral infections and mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease.

Grapes are fruits with high nutritional value and a high concentration of vitamins as vitamin B6, C, B ,B2, and Potassium, Manganese, Iron and more. This is one of the reasons to include grapes in your daily diet. Instead of consuming drugs make the habit of consuming a glass of red wine on a daily basis.

But remember only one or two glasses of red wine not a bottle...Salud...to your health.
