COFFEE IS ACIDIC OR BASIC? COFFEE IS ACIDIC – BUT DON’T WORRY

One of the major complaints I get from people, though not very often, is that whether coffee is acidic or basic and having tea or coffee causes them a lot of acidity. Now, just by listening to this, the anti-coffee brigade will be ready to fire. No, it’s not that simple people. Let’s see what the research says. Coffee is acidic in nature but so are many fruits and berries like tomato, orange, lemon, garlic, onions, etc. So, the problem is [...]

DOES CHEWING GUM REDUCES FACE FAT – IT’S HARMFUL STUPID

Does chewing gum reduces face fat? Are you serious? But the problem is that this is not just a massively prevalent myth, but a lot of leading websites, magazines and news dailies are promoting these fallacies openly. The common question of people these days is how to reduce face fat. Surprisingly a website even quoted a doctor, who suggested chew gum the entire day to reduce facial fat. Sometimes I think that if you tell people convincingly that running naked [...]

DOES EATING MILK & FISH TOGETHER CAUSES WHITE PATCHES – SHUT UP STUPID

If we talk about one of the most commonly prevalent myths, or what I call the evergreen myths, it’s the Milk and Fish myth. This goes by the saying that, milk and fish should not be consumed together, as it can lead to discoloration of the skin, or development of white patches, what we call as vitiligo or leukoderma. This is an age-old theory, being passed on from one generation to another. This myth is although prevalent among the elderly of [...]

HOW TO DO SHRUGS EXERCISE

In the gym, Shrugs exercise is one exercise that the novices love and so do the pros.

EXERCISE AND DIET – THE STUPID RATIO

This is one myth that just refuses to die. A layman knows a simple fact that he/she needs to exercise hard and eat well to lose weight. Though this line itself has quite a loose end, we will not get technical about it. The focus is only on a single aspect, that this simple understanding has got quite a lot complicated now, for most people. But one stupid complication which has come out is the exercise and diet ratio. There [...]

DHT AND CREATINE : DOES CREATINE CAUSE HAIR LOSS

In the video “Why Steroids Lead to Acne and Hair Fall?” I explained about DHT. DHT is a metabolite of testosterone and a sex steroid found in the body. When testosterone gets converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) it becomes 3-4 times stronger than testosterone. DHT is the most potent steroid found in the human body. DHT is formed when testosterone interacts with an enzyme called 5-Alpha Reductase. The enzyme 5-alpha-reductase is found in abundance in tissues like prostate, skin, scalp, liver [...]

IS CAFFEINE GOOD FOR HEALTH : CAFFEINE ADDICTION

A lot of people have a question that is caffeine good for health. Some say that caffeine is an addictive substance and it is highly damaging for the body. Yes, it is addictive and there no denial about the fact, but the problem is that there are a lot of things which are much more addictive than caffeine, but on the other hand, the benefits of moderate everyday consumption of caffeine clearly outweigh the addiction part of it. Dr Rolland [...]

BEST CORE EXERCISES – BRIEFCASE SQUAT

‘Core’ is the new style word people often use everywhere. When they talk about core, they often point a finger at their abdominal area, thinking that this is the area called core. Of course, when you ask someone why are you doing sit-ups and crunches, they answer that they are doing these core exercises to strengthen it. I haven’t come across one person who could explain the word ‘core’ correctly. Core in simple terms is the entire torso minus the [...]
