Is that why “red meat” is bad for you?

When’s the last time you ate a fast food burger? Are you waiting for ground beef to go on sale at the grocery? Did your kiddos eat at the school cafeteria , have you checked the menu lately?
“Pink Slime” is whats being served in most school districts. The slime is essentially the glue holding the meat together. Its not really glue but it can’t be much worse!!
Saving THREE CENTS a pound off production costs and making $440 million/year in revenue the FDA has allowed the beef industry use fatty slaughterhouse trimmings treated with ammonia as a filler in ground beef.
Is that why some critics say that “red meat” is bad for you?
In January fast food restaurants stopped serving pink slime, I wonder what Bowling Green schools serve, does anybody know?
Here is a quick newscast from Denver I found about the pink slime zqak7r04

Running Apps Improve Performance
Image via Wikipedia
Summer season is full swing and now is the time to get out and enjoy life. This time of year always takes us to the Dog Park to do our 1.9 mile runs. We are currently meeting at 730 a.m. every morning and some of us use GPS apps like RunKeeper to keep track of progress.
There are several other apps out there to use and Nike+ has a good one as well. They all have similar features and settings so choose the one that you like the best and stick with it. Building a database of runs helps you track your progress on distance, speed, time, and calories burned.
The motivating part comes when you can look at your stats and see your improved performance overtime. Trying to beat the last run is how you get better.
We all want to be healthy but most of us just want to look good and using a $2.99 running app is a cheap place to start. Spend the change in your app store and put this on your phone for your next run. This will help you get motivated and encourage you to workout even when you do not want to.
The run app never misses a workout.

Pregnant with TWINS? 5 things you must do!
Image via Wikipedia
The number of twins born in the United States has more than doubled since 1980 with about 140,000 sets of twins born in 2008, its becoming more common.
Personal trainers have to take special considerations with pregnant females when administering exercises and when you deal with twins you have double the pleasure.
5 things you must do when pregnant with TWINS:
- Stay HYDRATED - consume 100+ ounces of water a day. When dehydration occurs your blood can become thick and harder to pump which can induce contractions and the onset of preterm labor
- Increase Calories during the day – don’t starve yourself you are eating for 3 now – increase your calorie intake around 400-600 calories. Eat up but make healthy choices bc you don’t want to add extra processed foods or chemicals
- Not Exercise TOO MUCH – a little exercise is good, but a lot is not better!! Get with a certified personal trainer to construct a personal workout you can do – 15-30mins activity is best but not too strenuous, you want to strengthen your joints, not over work them bc extra bodyweight will come
- NOT Party Hard – be a tiny dancer. Don’t jump shake your booty and slam beers down at the club - Alcohol is not good for a developing fetus - violators should be SHOT
- Stay away from the litter box – cats can carry a disease called toxoplasmosis that can cause birth defects. Get the babies daddy for this one
