D. W. Brooks, MD wrote 25 easy & healthy tips for eating at restaurants. We are all aware that fast food and restaurant meals are rich in calories, in fact it was said that an average restaurant meal has over 1,000 calories. It’s enough to blow your diet.
Good news! You can actually continue to eat at your favorite fast food chains and restaurants without gaining any weight. Just follow these simple ways to prevent weight gain:us
1. If you know the menu from the restaurant you’re going to, plan what you’re going to have ahead of time. This will help save you from making a last minute decision that could result in high-calorie choices.

I’ve been consuming a lot of caffeine lately, sometimes I can drink up to 2 cups of coffee a day, my usual was 2-3 cups a week. At times I think that the stimulant effects of coffee does not work for me anymore.
When I was a child, I was prohibited to drink coffee because according to my mom, it can alter my memory. That was what I believed until I learned from my biology class that it actually can increase alertness, attention and wakefulness and faciliates relevant learning. This is true, however, with the recommended 1 cup daily. Increasing the dosage of caffeine above 200 mg (about 2 cups of coffee) does not increase mental performance but may increase nervousness, irritability, tremors, and headache. Heavy coffee drinkers can develop caffeine physical dependence and may display caffeine withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, nervousness, and headache if coffee was withheld. Coffee can also induce insomnia. Studies of the effect of caffeine on sleep have shown that one strong cup of coffee, drunk 30-60 minutes before going to sleep, can cause restlessness and difficulty falling asleep, increased body movements, a tendency to be awakened more readily by sudden noises, and a decreased quality of sleep (this fact is probably helpful to students during exams, huh? :p).
