Despite our best medical advances, it still seems as though the invisible, microbial world outsmarts us as seen recently in outbreaks of resistant bacteria.
If you're a fan of the hit show House that often highlights these strange, obscure infections and disorders, you might like Disease A Day. This blog written by Dr. Roy Schwartz explains the strange diseases featured on House as well as other disorders in layman's terms. He also explains how likely it would be to contract the disease and what can be done to prevent it.
Also this week, we've heard about a cool product from Emergent Detection called BodyKey. This device gives you immediate feedback as to what effect your diet and fitness routine is having on your body.
You simply place a drop of urine on a disposable test cartridge and it tells you how much fat you are burning and your metabolic rate. This way you can make continual adjustments to your diet and exercise routine to get the optimal results without the mystery of scales and one size fits all formulas. This is a pretty cool device.
You could even use BodyKey to test these Top 10 Fasting Myths to see if some of them are really myths or not, such as the belief that eating frequently drastically increases metabolism. This device also could make bathroom time a lot more fun!
One of the challenges of a healthy or Calorie restricted diet is maintaining your diet on the go as it can be hard to eat healthy at work because of the lack of refrigeration or because of workplace food thieves. Six Pack Bags is a cool product that allows you to take your diet with you on the go, while keeping things fresh and safe from those food stealing work trolls. These bags seem like they would have many uses and would be great for family outings as well.
