Life Hacks concerning weight loss

So I was browsing the net, doing nothing special, the way we way too often do, when I stumbled over something called "Life hacks". There seem to be a gazillion of places out there, giving useful and sometimes not so useful but funny, with these life hacks.

Here a few examples concerning weight loss:

* Drinking green tea before bed will allow your body to burn calories while sleeping. Green tea also increases your metabolism.
* The best water to boost weight loss: 2 L water, 1 medium cucumber, 1 lemon and 10-12 mint leaves. Steep overnight in the fridge. Drink every day. A great detox, and clear skin.

Both of those are very good for you, that is sure. I've a lot of articles about the benefits of Red Tea lately. Apparently the red tea comes from a bush in Africa, called Rooibos (a Hibiscus, I believe) and it seem to be better than the green one in activating your metabolism, helping your body detox and much more. Some say it cures headaches, insomnia, asthma, eczema, bone weakness, hypertension, allergies, and premature aging... the list is way too long to be completely true, I think, but if some of those work it is HUGE already.

I've ordered some Red Tea, I simply have to try this. If nothing else, tea always taste good in the evening and relaxes you before you go to bed.

Coffee can reduce your risk of early death

Yes, one minute you die from it the next is it healthy. We all know how this goes, it all depend on who do the study, and why, it seem. However, a new study made by European Society of Cardiology and involving close to 20,000 individuals, and published late last year, people who consumed at least four cups of coffee daily had a 64% lower risk of early death compared to those never or rarely consumed coffee. Coffee has also been shown to reduce the risk of many diseases, including type 2 diabetes, liver disease, colorectal cancer, Alzheimer's and skin cancer, too. Coffee is loaded with antioxidants, many are naturally occurring antioxidants found in the coffee bean, while others are created during the roasting process. It's these compounds that science links with positive effects in reducing the risk of several diseases. So, there we go. Think it's time for a good cup of Java!

Major study finds anti-depressants work...

Scientists say they finally have settled one of medicine's biggest debates, after a huge study found that anti-depressants work. A study, published in the Lancet , which analysed data from 522 trials involving 116,477 people, found 21 common anti-depressants were all more effective at reducing symptoms of acute depression than dummy pills. This is big news. Many people, myself included, have been convinced that in many cases those pills are only placebo. I am very happy to have been wrong on this one, because major depressive disorder is one of the most common, burdensome, and costly psychiatric disorders worldwide in adults According to lead researcher Dr Andrea Cipriani, from the University of Oxford, the most commonly prescribed anti-depressants work for moderate to severe depression. And that is very good news for many patients. “ End Your Depression ” is a complete source of information that will guide you through the different types and causes of depression and give ...

Drinking red wine gets better and better...

Many are the studies showing different health benefits of red wine. Alex Therrien over at BBC use a nice headline today: " Red wine compound 'could help tooth decay and gum disease fight '". How lovely and wonderful isn't this nectar of gods, it cures everything from diabetes to bad teeth depending on what researchers you believe. Well, this time, according to a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry , scientists looked into whether wine polyphenols might also be good for oral health. And sure enough it is. And jumping over all the cellular and microbiota talk, you can head over to the original article if you want to glance at those, they the findings said could ultimately lead to new dental treatments. I admit I rather have a glass of red wine than a visit at the dentist. These polyphenols, however, are also found in coffee, green- black- and red tea, lemon juice, blueberries... Well, in a lot of different stuff. Don't...
