Avoid extra weight gain during pregnancy

January 4, 2010  

When you’re pregnant it is understood that you are eating for two but that does not really mean twice as much as you normally do. Its healthy to gain 10-15 kg during the course of pregnancy, but some people gain over 20-25 kgs. That’s not healthy. All these extra kilos will show the most after pregnancy and will be extremely difficult to get rid of. So, we’re here to tell you how you can avoid gaining extra weight during your pregnancy.

Delhi Half Marathon 2009 Route Maps

October 6, 2009  

The routes for the Delhi Half Marathon are available now!

All events start in the holding area, which is located in Central Civil Services Cultural and Sports Ground Boards, opposite Nehru Park. Note that this not the main road and is far from the marathon parking area.

We recommend reaching at least 1.5 hours early, since last year there was a mad crowd. We got there on time, but could only start running 35 minutes after the race was started. Read about our Great Delhi Run 2008 experience. Hint: It was not good.

Hopefully, there will be better organization this year.

Are you running to be a win any of the races? Here are the Delhi Half Marathon 2008 results. Compare your running times to see if you have a winning chance!

Below are all the route maps. Read more

Sugar side effects- makes you less manly

August 3, 2009  

We’ve told you about how sugar makes you fat. There’s new research that shows that besides promoting fat storage in your body, it further adversely affects your body. Read on to find out..

Sugar affects testosterone levels in men (stevenkrygger@flickr)

According to a new study, sugar reduces testosterone levels. Testosterone is the male hormone- its what promotes muscle growth (and fat loss), gives you facial and body hair and keeps your sex life crackling! So, a reduction of testosterone means that you could potentially have less muscle, a not so hot sex life, and overall being less manly.

So, is sugar really worth the side effects? We don’t think so. We’re not saying live without sugar, but find good replacements. A natural sugar replacement is honey. Honey has many health benefits. If you want to go sugar free, use the healthiest sugar substitute.

Indians are genetically prone to diabetes, so manage your sugar intake. It’ll keep you healthy!
