Lost weight eating McDonalds

There is a man that ate Mcdonalds every meal for six months and he ended up loosing over eighty pounds and fourteen inches from his waste. The thing is that he did not just eat anything he wanted when he went there he only ate salads, wraps and apple dippers (not including the caramel). This is basically a lazy mans diet for those who dont want to put any effort into loosing weight so they just eat the so called healthy choices at a fast food restourant. The only reason this man lost weight was due to the fact that he was over one hundred pounds over weight in the first place and he just ate porportionate meals, which lowered his calories. This is not the way to go yes he did loose weight but his body is probably ruined due to the fact that he ate from McDonalds for six months. I decided to write about this story due to the fact that i thought it would amuse people like it did for me.

College drinking not so harmful (learn to love red wine).

There is an article that i found on the CNN website that interested me due to the fact that i am in college and i drink over five days a week and so i thought to my self what am i doing to my body for the future. in this article it starts off saying that while you are drinking excessively in college your are creating proteins in your heart that will hinder you in the later years of life. the only thing about that is that no one has done a study on the later facts of the protein produced, even though they have done the experiment on the college drinking by studying college students that drink excessively. the other side of this story is that a Dr. Robert Bonow, has thought differently and decided to find out more and in his studies he has found that older people produce those same proteins no matter what in the older ages of life. this statement I'm not going to lie it made me happy thinking that i was not harming my body at all seeing that later on in life i will produce the proteins anyways. anyways doctor found out that a person who drinks moderately throughout their life allows the heart to flush out the protein because the blood is thin and allows it to pass on. the other thing that was said was that a glass of wine a day gain you days of life in the end, and that the best wine is red wine it helps you produce other factors in your body to help you become healthy. so in the end of reading this article thinking that i was going to find out something that would make me realise that i was doing a bad thing drinking, but i found out that i should start drinking red wine. therefor i wont change the way i am right now because for right now i don't need to i am still young but later in life i will consider the term moderation and then i will become healthier.
title of the article is: College Drinking and Health Problems.

Allergies they are getting worse.

Over the weekend i have been having a hard time with my allergies and so i decided to find an article or news topic on why allergies are so bad this summer/fall. I have logged onto the Abcnews website and i have found an intersting short story about why allergies have been acting up and have been becoming more serious this season. The conclusion that they have come up with is that the weeds that are effecting over 50 Million Americans have been growing faster and more abundent. This is all thanks to Global Warming, because the climate is changing so is the plant life and the weeds that produce the allergenes have been on overdrive producing more and there for harming more individuals more often and more severely.
After reading this article and watching the news broadcast, i finally have an explanation to why my headache and nasal cavities have been killing me over the past few days and so I decided to blog about this to help others know why they have been having a bad season of allergies also.

The doctor that has discovered this has also written a journal about it called "Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology"
