Losing weight is a boost to the brain


Losing weight is not only good for the waistline, it is good for the brain. Scientists say substantial weight loss improves cognitive functions like memory and concentration. Researchers carried out tests on 150 volunteers, all weighing over 21 stone, and compared them with results from healthy people.

In some tests, including memory exams, almost a quarter of the overweight participants scored low enough to be considered learning disabled. Many of them had additional health problems, such as high blood pressure, type two diabetes and sleep apnea. After the initial round of testing, two-thirds of the volunteers had gastric bypass surgery to reduce the size of the stomach and lost an average of about 3st 8lbs.

After 12 weeks, they all took the tests again and the group that lost weight boosted their scores, particularly those involving memory, significantly. They also showed great improvement in organisational skills. The 41 obese volunteers who declined the surgery ended up with even worse results. Professor John Gunstad, of Kent State University, Ohio, said the research showed obesity can damage the brain, ‘especially the parts most important for paying attention and learning new things’.


In the study the researchers also used magnetic resonance imaging to see inside their subjects’ brains. The obese subjects tended to have damage to a particular substance that surrounds and insulates nerve fibres in the brain, suggesting that substance is needed for optimal cognitive function.

Why Pig Fat is not mentioned but code(s) are printed??

In nearly all the western countries including Europe, the PRIMARY choice for meat is PIG. There are a lot of farms in these countries to breed this animal. In France alone, Pig Farms account for more than 42,000.

PIGS have the highest quantity of FAT in their body than any other animal. But Europeans and Americans try to avoid fats.

Thus, where does the FAT from these PIGS go? All pigs are cut in slaughter houses under the control of the department of food and it was the headache of the department of food to dispose of the fat removed from these pigs.

Formerly, it was burnt (about 60 years ago). Then they thought of utilizing it. First, they experimented it in the making of SOAPS and it worked.

Then, a full network was formed and this FAT was chemically Processed, Packed and Marketed, while the other manufacturing companies bought it. In the meantime, all European States made it a rule that every Food, Medical and Personal Hygiene product should have the ingredients listed on its cover. So, this ingredient was listed as PIG FAT.

Those who are living in Europe for the past 40 years know about this. But, these products came under a ban by the ISLAMIC COUNTRIES at that time, which resulted in a trade deficit.

Going back in time, if you are somehow related to South East Asia, you might know about the provoking factors of the 1857 CIVIL WAR. At that time, Rifle Bullets were made in Europe and transported to the sub-continent through the Sea.It took months to reach there and the gun powder in it was ruined due to the exposure to sea.

Then, they got the idea of coating the Bullets with fat, which was PIG FAT. The fat layer had to be scratched by teeth before using them. When the word spread, the soldiers, mostly Muslim and some Vegetarians, refused to fight.Which eventually lead to the Civil War. The Europeans recognized these facts, and instead of writing PIG FAT, they started writing ANIMAL FAT.All those living in Europe since 1970’s know this fact. When the companies were asked by authorities from the MUSLIM COUNTRIES, what animal fat is it, they were told it was COW and SHEEP Fat. Here again a question raised, if it was COW or SHEEP Fat, still it is HARAAM to MUSLIMS, as these animal were not SLAUGHTERED as per the ISLAMIC LAW. Thus, they were again banned.
Now, these multinational companies were again facing a severe drought of money as 75% of their income comes from selling their goods to Muslim Countries, and these earn BILLIONS OF DOLLARS of Profit from their exports to the MUSLIM WORLD.

Finally they decided to start a coding language, so that only their Departments of Food Administration should know what they are using, and the common man is left lurking in the dark.Thus, they started E-CODES. These E- INGREDIENTS are present in a majority of products of multinational firms including, but not limited to -

TOOTH PASTE,
SHAVING CREAM
CHEWING GUM,
CHOCOLATE,
SWEETS,
BISCUITS,
CORN FLAKES, TOFFEES,
CANNED FOODS,
FRUIT TINS,

Some medication Multi-vitamins Since these goods are being used in all MUSLIM Countries indiscrimately, our society is facing problems like shamelessness, rudeness and sexual promiscuity.

So, I request all MUSLIMS or non pork [meat] eaters to check the ingredients of the ITEMS of daily use and match it with the following list of E-CODES. If any of the ingredients listed below is found, try to avoid it, as it has got PIG FAT:

Satay

Hye everyone.. Today i am gonna post about satay or sate in Malay. Its a must have dish if you came to Malaysia or Singapore or Indonesia. The meat is pierce with wooden stick and grilled..You can eat it as it is or you can dip it into the sauce which are made from groundnut. Its quite spicy and very tasty. The picture below show how tasty satay is. The darker one is beef satay and the less darker is chicken satay.

Seems like it is not like a pretty good diet right?!..If you all eat satay, don't ever forget to eat the cucumber, because eating satay together with carbon after barbequing can cause cancer. But we have a cure for that. Cucumber should be eaten after we ate the satay because satay has carsinogen (a cancer causing element)but cucumber is anti-carsinogenic. So don't forget to eat the cucumber the next time you have satay.

Breakfast

As i was writing this post, i am having my oat breakfast. Start the day early today cause i have Distributed System quiz. Got to read some note.


Do you know that those who eat breakfast every morning are more physically active than those who skip the first meal of the day, especially during adolescence...like me i am really active=p breakfast eaters consumed a healthier diet and were more robust than those who skipped the meal.

After five years, daily breakfast eaters also tended to gain less weight and had lower body mass index levels, an indicator of obesity risk, compared with skippers.

This are based on studies and fact. So wake early and have breakfast dude.
