October, the month that adds another year to my life, most of my relatives are also born on this month.

Is it possible to freeze and melt fat away? This is one big question that we attempt to solve but first, we must understand how body fat functions in our body. Body fat as defined in many books is categorized as adipose tissue which is a normal component of the human body. Its primary purpose is to store energy in the form of fat that is then needed for metabolic functions within the body. However, having excess body fat can be physiologically harmful and at the same time can negatively affect one’s appearance. Thus the idea of the possibility to melt fat away comes to mind when all else failed. Can body fat be destroyed? Unfortunately, fat cells are indestructible since our body has a constant number of fat cells that will remain in our lifetime. However, fat cells can be reduced or shrink in size through various methods like freeze and melt fat away. You see, when people lose weight their fat cells are also reduced in size but the body will signal the need to rebuil

In Asian countries like the Philippines, Rice is the common staple food in the table. We usually have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We eat rice like 2-3 cups per meal or 5 cups a day. As we all know, buffet and unlimited rice is now a big hit regardless of the age. Filipinos love Rice that's why most of us are shocked and some were enraged when a senator mentioned about restricting unlimited rice promotions from restaurants, which the said senator also clarified that unlimited rice will not be banned. Based on the study, the person who eats more serving of white rice has a greater risk of developing a type 2 diabetes. White rice is low in fiber but ranks high in glycemic index (GI )that can cause a sudden spike in blood sugar level. The form of diabetes is linked to growing numbers of obesity. For Asian people with type 1 and 2 diabetes eating white rice can be fatal to them that's why they refrained from eating it. With this in mind, Grayns Philippines
