Is Kris Aquino (gulp) in love again?


We can't help it. We're hooked on this train wreck. (Though, you have to admit, she's been OK lately.)
"Fans of Kris Aquino have been abuzz since she's been posting pictures of Bataan Governor Abet Garcia on her Instagram page," reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
In fact, one photo on Aquino's account shows Garcia with some breakfast food, with the caption: "Happy to cook for you (kahit hilo pa from the byahe) because you're just the sweetest, most dependable friend! Di ko nasali the 6 boxes of Gloria Jean's Macadamia Cookie Coffee #loved #appreciative #grateful."
Then, in another photo of them together along with a friend, Aquino wrote: "No, @iamgarygarcia is not my boyfriend, but he's a true friend. Nasingit ang lunch before #kristv taping because Gary flies back to LA tomorrow. Dapat lang i-lunch ko sya to show my appreciation for his effort to receive all my online shopping & forward to me. W/ @rbchanco. ❤️❤️❤️."
We can only speculate.

CENTURY TUNA SUPER BODS CHALLENGE BORACAY 2014


Everything happens for a reason. When we got to Makati during the presscon of Century Tuna Superbods a few days ago I was a little hesitant to even work out because that was the activity mentioned that evening. Admittedly I was a little out of shape, and a cardio workout wasn't my cup of tea since I only indulge in lifting weights when I'm in the gym. I don't like people telling me what to do and I usually turn my ears off when people tell me I'm fat and lazy. As hard as that sounds, I also want change to happen and it should start from me. I want to change things, and I've heard great news that could make me start my journey!

You might think this is a ploy to get you interested about a good product, but the executives themselves went in and tried the workout regimen and diet indicated on the website http://www.centurytuna.ph/superbodschallenge/ and you know, he's got six pack abs underneath that suit and showed it to the audience. If it worked for him, who knows... it might just be the thing that could work for me too. It's already summer and everyone's gearing up to show their bodies on the beach. Aside from that, Centrury Tuna's annual contest Century Tuna Superbods on April 25-27, 2014 in Boracay... if I win that I'll be famous just like Jon Spainhour haha!


The actual web site has two sections that will make this challenge work. On the photo above is dietician to the stars Ms. Nadine Tengco. She has designed the all new Century Tuna Superbods Meal Plan which can get you in shape in a promised duration of 6 weeks! 

The meal plans consist of well balanced breakfast, lunch and dinner meals that can get you the right amount of nutrients that you need while in this 6 week program. It's functional because the goal of tightening the human mid section needs something like this to work, because as the lady in gold puts it... it doesn't work with plain workout. It must also be accompanied by a whole lifestyle change which in this case... is food.


On the website too is the Century Tuna Superbods Workout Plan made by popular Biggest Loser coach Jim Saret. This is his expertise and he's made 6 weeks worth of workout videos designed to make you the superman you want to be in that period.



You can also download the meal plan and this workout regimen in calendars if you want to be a little more organized. Though if you want to be easy, the thing is already on Youtube so anyone with a smartphone can access it anytime, anywhere! He also has a workout plan for those who couldn't exert too much effort and start light. I wouldn't argue with Coach Jim Saret if I were you, he's probably got one of the nicest physique I've ever seen in person. It's not too big or bulky, it's just right for his height. I envy him for that!


Century Tuna doesn't want you to be perfect, they want you to be a better version of you! Now with the right amount of food intake, aerobic, cardiovascular, weight training, stretching and various exercises you can get to your goal of becoming just that. Would you like to do start and get that better version of you to appear? Get on with the plan and do this for 6 weeks and see what you've been missing all these years with the help of Century Tuna!

A Python Meets A Crocodile. And After Seeing What Happened, I’m Never Going Outside Again.

It’s easy to take our existence for granted. After all, we exited the food chain. Unless you’re living in the middle of the jungle, you probably don’t have to worry about a tiger knocking at your door, waiting to eat you. Then, this Reddit user reminded us that nature is indeed quite frightening and could probably kick our butts.
What you’re about to see is a hungry snake having a bit of a snack. But you won’t believe what it’s chowing down on.













If crocodiles can eat humans and snakes can eat crocodiles, that means if you see a huge olive python, you should probably head in the other direction. Or else there is a very good chance it will swallow you whole.

WEIGHT LOSS TIPS THAT ACTUALLY HELP

Weight loss Michelle Bridges

Around this time of year, with most of our New Year’s resolutions abandoned, many people are looking for ways to make their weight loss stick. Coming out of the tasty holiday season, people are finding they have the urge to revisit the gym and refocus on their health. But achieving weight loss that stays off is a lot easier said than done.
The problem most people have with weight loss is how to get started in the right way. While the internet is flooded with get-fit-fast diets and models for healthy lifestyles, not all programs are as beneficial as advertised. Many weight loss websites have a financial agenda and their advice may be to buy lots of exclusive products or equipment instead of giving you ways to improve your eating habits. To avoid scams and find a plan that works for your body, focus on sites that offer information up front. Many websites will build up a lot of hype about revolutionary dieting techniques but the actual tips seems impossible to find. Look for places that offer advice or weight loss guidelines in easy to find spots. Websites, like Michelle Bridges, with large, direct links to healthy lifestyle habits on the homepage, are probably more likely to contain helpful information. Bridges posts tips on eating habits, effective exercises, and ways to motivate yourself to just jump on that horse.
Weight loss is not all about the gym. What we put into our bodies has just as much effect on our health as what we do with our bodies. The human body has a diverse chemical system and different bodies need different things. If you find that your metabolism is slower than normal or you have above-average cravings, another step on your road to a healthier you may be natural appetite suppressants. Earth Turns offers a metabolism booster-appetite suppressant that naturally helps curb your appetite.
Whichever path you choose in your weight loss adventure, it is important to remember that the purpose should be “health” not “appearance.” Being healthy is important, it increases longevity, physical ability, and happiness. However, it can be easy to get caught up in media representations of “healthy” and actually achieve the opposite. Be careful of how you lose weight, losing body mass too quickly can take a severe toll on your body and can be potentially dangerous even under the watchful eye of professionals.
No matter what your weight loss goals are, remember that staying healthy is the most important goal you can have — make sure to find a weight loss plan that keeps your well-being in mind!

ARE YOU HOOKED ON CAFFEINE? EXPERTS WARN AGAINST OUR GROWING DEPENDENCE ON TEA, COFFEE AND COKE

* Many people struggle to cut down on caffeine, even if it hits their health
  • * The drug is so commonplace many are unaware of dangers, report states
  • * Caffeine addicts 'should get trained advice to quit like other drug users'

Health experts have warned about the growing problem of that most socially acceptable of drug addictions - caffeine.
Most people think nothing of their much-needed tea or coffee in the morning, or a can of cola to chase away the post-lunch slump.
But a study co-authored by Washington-based American University psychology professor Laura Juliano indicates that many are so dependent on caffeine they suffer withdrawal symptoms and are unable to reduce consumption - even if they have another condition that may be impacted by caffeine,  such as a pregnancy, a heart condition, or a bleeding disorder.

Scroll down for video

Morning buzz: Addiction to caffeine is a hidden health problem, according to new research. File pictureMany people enjoy a cola to chase away the post-lunch slump

The condition is called 'Caffeine Use Disorder' and even though caffeine is the most commonly used drug in the world, health professionals have been slow to characterise problematic caffeine use and acknowledge that some cases may call for treatment, according to the study.
'The negative effects of caffeine are often not recognised as such because it is a socially acceptable and widely consumed drug that is well integrated into our customs and routines,' Juliano said.


    'And while many people can consume caffeine without harm, for some it produces negative effects, physical dependence, interferes with daily functioning, and can be difficult to give up, which are signs of problematic use.'
    'Caffeine Use Disorder: A Comprehensive Review and Research Agenda,' which Juliano wrote with Steven Meredith and Roland Griffiths of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and John Hughes from the University of Vermont, was published last year in the Journal of Caffeine Research.

    But in a nation where a stop at Starbucks is a daily ritual for many people, is there really a market for caffeine cessation?

    The study summarises the results of previously published caffeine research to present the biological evidence for caffeine dependence, data that shows how widespread dependence is, and the significant physical and psychological symptoms experienced by habitual caffeine users.
    In so far as heeding the call for more research, the scientific community is beginning to wake up and smell the coffee.
    Last spring, the American Psychiatric Association officially recognised Caffeine Use Disorder as a health concern.
    Juliano added: 'There is misconception among professionals and lay people alike that caffeine is not difficult to give up. However, in population-based studies, more than 50 per cent of regular caffeine consumers report that they have had difficulty quitting or reducing caffeine use.

    THE SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE DRUG 

    Caffeine is the world's most commonly used stimulant, and it's cheap and readily available so people can maintain their use of caffeine quite easily.
    Research demonstrates, however, that when people don't get their usual dose they can suffer a range of withdrawal symptoms, including headache, fatigue and difficulty concentrating.
    They may even feel like they have the flu with nausea and muscle pain.
    Experiments have shown that 50 per cent of people got headaches when their coffee was taken away and 13 per cent were sick enough to lose time at work.
    'Furthermore, genetics research may help us to better understand the effects of caffeine on health and pregnancy as well as individual differences in caffeine consumption and sensitivity,' she added.
    Based on current research, Juliano advises that healthy adults should limit caffeine consumption to no more than 400mg per day - the equivalent of about two to three cups of coffee. 
    Pregnant women should consume less than 200mg per day and people who regularly experience anxiety or insomnia - as well as those with high blood pressure, heart problems, or urinary incontinence should also limit caffeine.
    But limiting one’s caffeine intake is often easier said than done as most people don’t know how much caffeine they consume daily.
    'At this time, manufacturers are not required to label caffeine amounts and some products such as energy drinks do not have regulated limits on caffeine,' 
    Juliano said, adding that if this changed, people could perhaps better limit their consumption and ideally, avoid caffeine’s possible negative effects.
    But in a nation where a stop at Starbucks is a daily ritual for many people, is there really a market for caffeine cessation? Juliano says yes.
    'Through our research, we have observed that people who have been unable to quit or cut back on caffeine on their own would be interested in receiving formal treatment, similar to the outside assistance people can turn to if they want to quit smoking or tobacco use,' she said.
