Eating your way to Diabetes.

                 For most Americans, everyone has heard of Paula Deen. She's the heart of the south and it's southern cooking. Paula has been on TV for a while, letting all America in on her secrets and how to make delicious southern cooked meals. What most people never knew about her is that for 3 years she kept her diabetes a secret.
                 The food Paula cooks is very greasy and is way up there in cholesterol as well in fats and sugars. Take her well known burger recipe for example, which replaces the buns with two glazed doughnuts. One glazed doughnut is bad for you let alone two. I rarely eat doughnuts, so I probably would never try it on my hamburger. I don't understand why people like this, but they do. During those 3 years of hiding her secret, she still kept promoting her greasy high in fat and diabetes giving food to all America. A little harsh if you ask me.
                Just last week, Deen let everyone in on her secret and has signed on to be a pitch woman for a diabetes drug. Hopefully she can turn the tables for her fans and start altering her cooking ways becoming more health efficient and beneficiary to every one's health across America.

Can Yoga be harmful?

                "Namaste Namaste," those are the words you usually think of when it comes to yoga. Most people take classes to relieve stress, exercise, or gain flexibility. What most people don't know is that just doing random poses thrown together in a class can be harmful and cause injury rather than prevent it.
                A teacher in NY by the name of Glenn Black is your traditional yogi who traveled over to Pune, India and studied over there. Black knows all about the damages and harmful things that can come of not practicing yoga correctly. His approach is much different from most of the other teacher's or what you are used too. He tends to focus on a few poses and holds each pose for a long amount of time letting the pain build up.
      Black believes a lot of people shouldn't practice yoga because they won't practice it correctly. A lot of people use yoga to burn calories and as a weight loss method which can be very harmful. I do yoga, but only at rowing practice when I really need to stretch and lengthen my flexibility. I'll definitely start being more careful about the yoga I do. Everyone should be more careful, because the injuries that yoga can cause are endless.
