Health / 7 Reasons Why You Must Totally Consume Cucumber On A Daily Basis by korastoblog: 3:19am On Mar 14, 2018
A lot of people eat cucumber all the time but have no single idea how beneficial it is to the human body.

The cucumber has served as a healthy source of food for man for a very long time. They come in the same family with the melons.

In this article we'll be highlighting the importance of this fruit in the Human body and why it must be consumed every time .

1. It Helps Fights Cancer :
This is perhaps the most important of all its functions. Cucurbitacin is a phytochemical in cucumbers and related plants that acts as a defense mechanism. In humans, it plays an important role in immune response, inflammation, cell differentiation, and cell death. By blocking a particular protein that is activated in cancerous cells, cucurbitacin stops the cells’ growth and induces their death. Studied cancer lines include breast, carcinomas of the head and neck, leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma, pancreas, prostate, and other types of cancer.

Plus, antioxidant alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins in cucumber have been shown to kill breast and lung cancercells. Because there are more pigments in the skin, it contains more antioxidants than the flesh. Eaten together, you get a big dose of anti-cancer crunch in a cucumber.

2. Protects the Brain
Yes!!! eating lots of cucumber does in a way help protect the brain. There is a compound called Fisetin that is commonly found in cucumber, strawberry strawberry, apple, grape, persimmon, mango, and other fruits and vegetables. It has been shown to improve >>>>>Read More

Health / 7 Things You Should Never Eat Or Drink After 9 PM To Keep Your Heart Healthy by korastoblog: 3:30am On Mar 10, 2018
Now in other to keep dreams sweet and maintain a totally healthy heart there are lots of foods or drinks to abstain from in other to stay healthy. Note, even if you’re on a diet and is focusing on weight and fat loss there are still certain foods and drinks to call quit once it’s past 9pm.

1. Pizza

With all those excess fat calories sitting around in the blood, what you have is a recipe for fat gain. Dreaming of Domino’s? If so, you aren’t alone. Pizza ranks as one of the most craved foods by dieters and those focused on muscle building alike. But, if you are going to have a cheat meal and indulge in a slice or two, make sure to do it earlier in the day than 9 p.m. or after. Pizza contains far too many calories to have this close to bedtime; what’s worse, you’ll get an extra does of both carbohydrates and a large amount of saturated fat which will just sit in your stomach as you lie awake in bed at night. With insulin levels high from the carbohydrates that you’ve just consumed,
and all those excess fat calories sitting around in the blood, what you have is a recipe for fat gain.

Solution:

Down a few hard-boiled eggs instead. You’ll feed your body muscle-building protein without a ton of excess empty calories to go along with them.

2. Chocolate

Chocolate can be a very hard stimulant to some people, and if you’re among this category, taking chocolate after past 9pm could snatch your precious sleep from you. Chocolate doesn’t just have a higher sugar level and fat content than other late-night snacks. It also contains caffeine. If you’re sensitive to caffeine, chocolate could rob you of the precious sleep you need to allow your body to recover maximally from your hard workout sessions.
As a result, you won’t make the progress you otherwise could. Those who don’t sleep enough on a regular basis are much likelier to suffer from increased cortisol levels, which will actually encourage muscle tissue breakdown.
