Final Ceremony of Eat Healthy Q8

Final Ceremony of Eat Healthy Q8

We were invited last week to attend the final ceremony of Eat Healthy Q8, 30 over weight kids joined the 30 day diet program with supervision, workout and a diet program, parents were also given awareness classes. Sitting there watching the kids talk about their experience gave me a great feeling, I can’t imagine the pride and joy they were feeling working so hard and achieving what they have.

There were 10 winners 5 boys and 5 girls, first winners won a trip to Euro Disney with their families , and the rest of the kids won diet programs with Diet Center and other gifts.

Eat Healthy Q8 was a great gesture from Diet Center, it’s a step towards a healthier generation. The 30 days ended which makes me sad seriously I wish we have such great programs for over weight kids that are through out the year, but for now I am happy that some companies are trying to make a difference.

Thank you diet center Kuwait and all the sponsors for the great effort.

Can Blood Type Change Over Time?

Can Blood Type Change Over Time?

Is it possible that your blood type change like from type O to type B? Well, this is what happened when I took my driver to the Health Clinic to take his blood type test for his new Civil ID card. He has was an O+ for his whole life, and no they are telling me that he is a B+!! The nurse who did the test said to me there was nothing wrong with the test and that I should go to the blood bank and do another test for more accurate result.

So I did what she suggested and went to the blood bank to redo the test again and guess what the result was? It came with a B+ again. I was unable to comprehend how his blood type could change. This is crazy there is no way that this could be possible!

Can blood type change over time? or do you think maybe his first test was done wrong?

The Truth Behind Calorie Labels

Casey Neistat from the New York Times took five items from chain restaurants and convenience stores in New York City to compared the actual calories of the food to what’s listed on the nutrition facts.

Neistat grabbed a tofu sandwich, a muffin, a Subway sandwich, a Starbucks Frappuccino and a Chipotle burrito. Then he brought the items to food scientists at the New York Obesity Nutrition Research Center at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center to test each food’s caloric content.

Watch the short video on calories below to find out what each company’s excuse for having more calories is.

Fire Facial Treatment in China

Therapists at beauty salons in china are offering women a bizarre new treatment call “Huǒ liáo”, where open flames are used to stimulate cell regeneration to eliminate sagging and wrinkles. This treatment can be used on different parts of the body, such as the face, legs, back and neck.

Here’s how it goes, they apply a towel soaked in alcohol and a ‘special elixir’ to the skin, then they sets the towel on fire for several seconds before putting it off with another towel. Watch the dangerous treatment performed in the video below.
