Could sex save your life?
Just do it.
From the report...
"Making love doesn't just help you feel good. It also burns calories, boosts your immune system – and can even reduce the risk of cancer
...Having sex once or twice a week has been linked with higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A, or IgA, which can protect you from colds and other sorts of infections. Scientists at Wilkes University in the US tested IgA levels in 112 college students who reported the frequency of their sexual activity. Those students in the "frequent" group had higher levels of IgA than those who were either abstinent or had sex less than once a week..."

New York City pushes for calories to be listed on menus
The rule from the city board of health would only apply to restaurants with 15 or more locations around the country (so essentially only the nationwide chains, both fast food and sit down), and only in their New York City locations.
The article quotes Justin Wilson of the Center for Consumer Freedom attacking the plan, saying "It doesn't take a Ph.D. in nutrition, let alone a high school diploma, to tell the difference between a 12-piece bucket of chicken and a salad." The sad thing is that often times that salad isn't much better than the bucket of chicken or the big mac. With lots of cheese, maybe some fried chicken or boiled egg, plus the dressing...the salad can often end up just as bad if not worse than the food you know is bad for you. And that's exactly the problem. People trying to be healthy by eating a salad aren't being healthy, and they should know that. With restaurant food, it's not about common sense or an education - something you think should be healthy often isn't, which is the whole point of the regulation.
I think it's a great move, and in fact I think it should go further - sodium should be listed, as it is a huge influence in disease and heart problems in this country, and it should be at all restaurants - if the corner bistro had to list nutrition information, they might be inspired to find new, healthier ways to make the old standbys taste just as good. The rule from the city board of health would only apply to restaurants with 15 or more locations around the country (so essentially on... more -
The 20 worst foods in America
Sure, a turkey burger sounds healthy. But is it, really? Not if you order the Bella from Ruby Tuesday, which packs a whopping 1,145 calories. (And yes, that's before a side of fries.)
To further enlighten you on the prevalence of preposterous portions, we spent months analyzing menus, nutrition labels, and ingredient lists to identify the food industry's worst offenders. Our primary criterion? Sheer caloric impact. After all, it's the top cause of weight gain and the health problems that accompany it. (As you read, keep in mind that 2,500 calories a day is a reasonable intake for the average guy.) We also factored in other key nutritional data, such as excessive carbohydrates and fat, added sugars, trans fats, and sodium. The result is our first annual list of the worst foods in America. Sure, a turkey burger sounds healthy. But is it, really? Not if you order the Bella from Ruby Tuesday, which packs a whopping 1,145 ca... more -

Steak or Hamburgers Vs. Chain Spaghetti
