healthy living = better living.

so i've been trying this new thing in the morning of eating healthier instead of the regular giant coffee and cheesed-up bagel..to which i'm saying there is absolutely nothing wrong but there are better and probably a lot healthier alternative...soo i opt to having soy milk instead of the coffee...traded my bagel for a bowl of oatmeal and also added yogurt into my daily regiment...i guess its not much of a sacrifice since i love oatmeal and yogurt but still i feel just a tad proud of myself for it...now if only i can translate the same vigor on the rest of my meal then maybe i'd feel a lot better and healthier....

10 FACTS ABOUT OATMEAL
taken from here

1. Over 40 studies show that eating oatmeal may help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. According to Quaker, all it takes is 3/4 cup of oatmeal each day to help lower cholesterol. The soluble fiber in oats helps remove LDL or "bad" cholesterol, while maintaining the good cholesterol that your body needs. In January 1997, the Food and Drug Administration announced that oatmeal could carry a label claiming it may reduce the risk of heart disease when combined with a low-fat diet.

2. The soluble fiber in oatmeal absorbs a considerable amount of water which significantly slows down your digestive process. This result is that you'll feel full longer, i.e. oatmeal can help you control your weight.

3. You probably already have oats in your kitchen. It's estimated that eighty percent of U.S. households currently have oats in their cupboards.

4. New research suggests that eating oatmeal may reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes. In fact, the American Diabetes Association already recommends that people with diabetes eat grains like oats. The soluble fiber in these foods help to control blood glucose levels.

5. With the exception of certain flavored varieties, the oats found in your grocery store are 100% natural. If you look at the ingredients on a canister of rolled oats, you will usually see only one ingredient... rolled oats.

6. According to recent studies, a diet that includes oatmeal may help reduce high blood pressure. The reduction is linked to the increase in soluble fiber provided by oatmeal. Oats contain more soluble fiber than whole wheat, rice or corn.

7. Oatmeal contains a wide array of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and is a good source of protein, complex carbohydrates and iron.

8. The fiber and other nutrients found in oatmeal may actually reduce the risk for certain cancers.

9. Oatmeal is quick and convenient. Every type of oatmeal can be prepared in a microwave oven. Even when cooked on the stovetop, both old-fashioned and quick oats can usually be made in less than 10 minutes. And what about instant oatmeal… a hot breakfast in under a minute... incredible!

10. Oatmeal can be absolutely delicious! Whether instant, cooked on the stove or baked in the oven, the combination of flavors you can fit into a serving of oatmeal is limited only by the imagination.

IF ONLY.

you're like a monkey on my back that i can't seem to shake
no matter how hard i try to get you off or just forget
you have this way of finding your way back to me
like the good ol' days or a bad memory
its hard to quit on someone like you

if only i was more of a man to say
that you're the piece that i've been missing
and if only i was a bit stronger to admit
that it was always been you

i tried to fill my days with useless distractions
kept myself busy with ways to not remember
but you always seem to creep up on my empty hours
between the world and the million faces
there was always something that reminds me of you

if only i was more of a man to say
that you're the piece that i've been looking for
and if only i was a bit stronger to admit
that it was always been and forever will be you
