Breakfast Cereals

Breakfast Cereals
The truth about cereals being a healthy breakfast item couldn’t be more wrong.
Cereals are usually rich in refined carbohydrates and sugar, two ingredients that are fattening for your body.
When you eat processed cereal as your first meal, your blood sugar levels and insulin levels increases sharply, and then crashes after a few hours, thereby triggering an almost irrepressible craving for foods rich in refined carbs later on in the day.
In other words, you are pushed into a blood sugar roller coaster. You will then tend to eat foods you should really be avoiding and your daily total calorie will be higher than your body requirements, leading to weight gain.

That said though, not all types of cereals are unhealthy as a breakfast item. Pick a cereal which is low on high-refined carbohydrates or sugar, and contain more of natural fruits and nuts and other natural ingredients. Read the label carefully before picking a cereal box, and do not deceived by those claiming to be “whole grain” or “low fat” as they often have high sugar contents too.
Pick unprocessed and protein-rich foods for breakfast, for example, eggs with some vegetables or even eggs with steak for breakfast. Gram for gram, protein keeps you fuller for a longer time than carbohydrates and are better food for a weight loss diet.

EPA and the regulation of greenhouse gasses

By
This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Administrator McCarthy announced several new actions the agency will take to help support a smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs. "EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...

iPad Pro Review

By
The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant.
