Death Risks Ranking

Posted on by
Death Risks Ranking

I’ve found this site known as the death calculator or death risk ranking. I was actually quite skeptical about it since I believe that no one can calculate our deaths since only God knows when our life should end on this earth.

But as I read about it, I slowly understood that this death risks ranking is more on a study and compilation of statistics of the cause of death, age, race and other details on every area and draws a comparison from it. Like for example  British women has 33%  higher risk of dying from  breast cancer.

But I believe the causes of our death is quite irrelevant compared to one of the greatest question, whether we know for sure where we are going after our physical death. As for me, I know for sure that I have received eternal life as a gift from God through the birth, death and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus. I’ll have to post a special topic on this.

Got Insured

Got Insured

Finally, I already got my health and travel insurance for my trip to Thailand this weekend. I will actually be staying there for 8 days but the insurance agent gave me an extended service plan for the same price. Cool!

The coverage a 55RM health/travel insurance is quite a lot plus they can also cover H1N1 cases even if the client is already in the home country.

Diet for Long Life?

Diet for Long Life?

Dr. Oz seemed to have revealed the secret for longevity and that is by adhering to a Calorie Restricion Diet. What is a Calorie Restriction Diet?

According to Joe Cordell it’s a type of diet that is made up of less calories but is very high in nutrition vales. He says, “Whenever you’re thinking about calorie restriction, you should continually think about getting the most nutritional bang per calorie,”

They claim that by following this diet, people could live up to 150 years! Hmmm.. does that sound believable to you?

Anyways, Scott Q Marcus has written that if people would adhere to this type of diet then a typical menu for this Calorie Restriction diet would look like this.

Breakfast: 1 cup nonfat cottage cheese, 23 nuts, 1 cup berries and one nutrition bar

Lunch: 5 ounces skinless chicken breast (boiled, baked or roasted), broccoli, cauliflower, 1 tablespoon olive oil and one medium orange

Meal preparation: Cook chicken. Add to plate with broccoli and cauliflower. Add olive oil and herbs and spices. Have orange for dessert.

Snack: 1 cup nonfat yogurt, six nuts (Whoa! Don’t eat them all in one bite!)

Dinner: 2 cups green, leafy salad (may include lettuce, cabbage, spinach), 3-ounce salmon filet (canned low-salt or fresh-baked), 7-ounce sweet potato (baked), 1 tablespoon olive oil, herbs and spices and 1 tablespoon vinegar

Meal preparation: Sprinkle vinegar, herbs, spices and half of olive oil over salad and salmon. Sprinkle remaining olive oil over sweet potato; have potato for dessert.

How would you like to have a menu like that? It kinda looks bland though.. and I’m sure this won’t work for me.:)
