Microwaves
After writing the article "Spicy Foods May Provide Protection against Food Poisoning", I received a lot of comments about microwave destroying food nutrients.
It is because I mentioned that garlic can be cooked with a microwave. It is the easiest way rather than using baking oven, bread toaster, or frying pan. Every few months, there's a new scare that spreads on the internet, and now, its microwaves. They say that foods cooked in a microwave are unhealthy and harmful for health. Who crazy people said so? These are simply myths circulated by people who don't understand what microwaves are and fear them irrationally.
Some scientists and doctors who say that microwave for cooking is harmful for human health should study more about our world today. I hope that those people who wrote me that microwave is harmful to health are not scientists who usually write incorrect or fake information in the magazines to mislead the public.
When we were using candlelight during the time of our ancestors, life was simple and the life span was about 48 years. When lightbulb was invented by Thomas Edison, many said that it is harmful to our eyes. When fluorescent lamp came out, a lot of people said that it is very harmful to our eyes and we can be blind soon. And now people said that microwave makes food poisonous and harmful to our health.
When I was 13 years old (about 57 years ago), I made a microwave using 2 pieces of 807 vacuum tubes called push-pull high frequency oscillator. It was about 150 watts microwave. A few turn of gauge 6 or 8 copper-wired oscillator coils, and between two copperplates at output, I placed sweet potato, eggplant, spinach and many other foods, and then I was able to cook a lot of things for several years.
Since then, up to this modern time, I cannot live without a microwave in our kitchen. In Japan, I have a hard time to find a house without a microwave. Therefore, I was eating poisonous foods for over 55 years using that dangerous machine, and yet, I did not suffer from incurable diseases, and remain healthy.
Don't you know that all cooking methods reduce nutrient levels in vegetables to some degree? It's because many vitamins are sensitive to heat exposure. Whether you use firewood, charcoal, electric stove or microwave, the contents of the original food will be changed.
Let's take the case of juice mixer or blender. Why don't you complain about the use of that sharp-bladed mixer or blender in your kitchen? Don't you know that anything when juiced or blended, some nutrition will be broken? When fruits or vegetables are blended and exposed to oxygen, a huge amount of vitamins or other nutritious parts will be lost. This is called oxidation. Why don't you throw your mixer?
Let's take bread toaster. It is also the same. It will change your bread to poison and it's dangerous to your health.
Let those people who love to live in a primitive life, throw that TV in your room, it is dangerous to your eyes. Let them throw your chemically painted house, it is dangerous to your health. Let them throw your own life, since it is dangerous to others.
Those people are with a tiny brain and their life span is maybe only 47 years (same as cave dwellers who live less than 47 years old). In our modern world, especially in Japan, there are only few who will say that microwave is harmful to our health. Did you know that an average life span of Japanese is now 89-92 years? :) I am now 70 years old and I am still kicking around. I have never suffered from incurable diseases at all.
Myths and Facts about Microwave Oven
Microwave causes cancer. The facts: There's no solid evidence of that, and the opposite may be true. When you microwave meats for a few minutes before grilling and frying, most of the cancer-causing chemicals from the meats are lost along with the juices.
Microwave destroys the nutrients in food. The facts: Yes, it is true. But don't you know that microwave retains more nutrients than other forms of cooking, if you don't use a lot of water and don't overcook the food.
Microwave oven produces radiation. The facts: Yes, it is true. But microwave ovens manufactured by renowned companies today do not radiate or leak any harmful wave outside to cause any danger to humans. Containers, packaging and wrapping materials for cooking, are where you should be careful. Because the container might melt to the food and the chemicals might contaminate the food.
So, is the Microwave Safe?
Everyone wants to be healthy, but some scientists said that microwave is dangerous to your health. Don't believe them. Their brains are so tiny. Microwave oven is the safest device of all. Just don't use too much water. Microwaving with too much water is more like boiling, which does deplete nutrients. So, once again, don't use a lot of water. Cabbage, broccoli, potato, fish, meat, carrot, eggplant, and many others, can be cooked without water. Think wisely.
Oh, if microwave is as dangerous as some people think, then the Japanese Ministry of Health, or even the American FDA as well as other health-oriented authorities prohibited its use long time ago.
It is easy to use a microwave rather than firewood or charcoal inside a modern kitchen room in your house. Why don't you use microwave? It will make you healthy. Don't be silly and be wise!!

Increases testosterone...and get a heart attack?
So, what is the best type of diet to follow if your only concern is to increase T levels and make more of it available to the body for the purpose of improving lean body mass and/or performance? It would seem that CHO intake must exceed PRO intake by at least 40% to keep the bioactive fraction of T high. Fat intake should be at least 30%, saturated fat needs to be higher than PUFA, and fiber intake needs to be low. A sample diet would have roughly the following calorie breakdown: 55% CHO, 15% PRO and 30% fat. On the other hand, what if you wanted to lower your T levels in order to minimize cardiovascular disease risk factors and/or hormone-dependent cancer risks? Then a diet with more protein, more fiber, a fat intake below 25%, and a P:S ratio of 1 or higher would be a more prudent choice. The breakdown of this sample diet would be about 50% CHO, 30% PRO and 20% fat. The problem with using percentages, however, is that people with high calorie needs will most likely take in far more protein then they need. Another strategy is to keep protein intake the same (ie 1 gram per pound of BW) and then play around with the fiber, SFA:PUFA ratio, CHO, and total fat contents of the diet. Antioxidants are important additions when trying the higher fat diets. Keep in mind there are many factors that affect T production and they interact in a complex and seemingly unpredictable fashion. We invite feedback and will respond to all questions, comments, etc. Several readers have mentioned the idea of cycling a diet that maximizes T and then switching back to a healthier type of diet. For those that do try this, please let us know your results. lorig8r@sprynet.com.

This could be why you're fat - 1
GRADUAL, CREEPING WEIGHT GAIN
COULD BE: Slow metabolism or extreme dieting.
After the age of 30, your metabolism (the rate at which we burn calories while we are at rest) slows down by as much as 5 per cent per decade.
You’ll burn 100 fewer calories per day at the age of 35 than you did at 25, and 200 fewer at 45. This could be enough to trigger an annual weight gain of 8-12lb.
Strict (or yo-yo) dieting makes this process worse (whatever your age), as the body slows the metabolism to avoid wasting any energy while it is dealing with what it considers to be a famine.
WHO'S AT RISK? Anyone over 30; dieters.
WEIGHT-LOSS SOLUTION: As well as being generally more active, incorporate weight-training into your exercise routine twice a week to build muscle mass, because this will boost your metabolic rate.
Muscle burns 25 to 33 per cent more calories than body fat does, and each pound of muscle boosts your metabolic rate when resting.
If you replace 10lb of fat with 10lb of muscle, your body will burn roughly 40 more calories a day at rest. This doesn’t sound like much, but it accumulates to become 280 extra calories burned a week, and 1,120 a month — that’s enough to lose weight without dieting.
So add a few press-ups, squats and lunges to your fitness programme, or try an exercise DVD that incorporates resistance bands or weights (whether that’s using bottles of water or dumbbells), or alternate your aerobics class with something such as Body Pump, which is weight-training to music
