			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do make a quick delivery as I am really hungry! Every one just loves pizza. With all the yummy topping I think only none people will be able to resist it in the whole wide world.</p>
<p>And why should one say NO to pizza. It is quick. It is easy to make.</p>
<p>It is yummy to eat. It is available 24/7 in every nook of the world. Then what is the problem. Why don’t you just order one?</p>
<p>But wait, before ordering the pizza let me just give you some idea about the best toppings that you can get for a pizza and that can be nutritional at the same time.</p>
<p>    * Ham is known as one of the best protein choices to add on to your pizza. It is lower in fat than sausage, ground beef or crumbled bacon, and it also contains more protein.</p>
<p>    * Parmesan Cheese when people hear the word cheese they go like it would be fattening but Parmesan Cheese is a great alternative to regular cheese. It is higher in protein and lower in fat. Parmesan cheese will offer a boost in calcium as well. Some may say that Parmesan Cheese is not tasty as Mozzarella but it is ideal in respect to nutrition. If you are making a pizza or buying one, just do your self a favor and get some Parmesan Cheese topping. You will start liking it after a while as there’s always a first time for every thing.</p>
<p>    * Pineapple craving for something sweet. Do not go any dessert just try pineapple for the pizza topping. This way you will enjoy both saltine and sweetish delight of the pizza. It would be two in one. Pineapple is also a good source of vitamins C and E, which are good and support healthy eyesight and a strong immune system.</p>
<p>    * Low Fat Cheese Use Low Fat Cheese for the cheese topping should be used as it is good for decreasing the amount of fats and calories and provides the nutritional quality that is good for your health. It is higher in protein, which means it is a very good option when trying to cut back on your meat consumption.</p>
<p>    * Tomato Sauce Ah! Tomato sauce you can add in as much as you want. It is a rich source of lycopene which may help prevent cancers of the lungs, stomach and prostate gland.</p>
<p>    * Garlic Without adding in any significant amount of calories garlic provides your pizza an additional taste that you would die for. It helps in maintaining good cholesterol levels, prevents the risk of heart disease and it also helps in preventing atherosclerosis.</p>
<p>    * Mushrooms You can find them in different sizes. Small mushrooms big mushrooms medium sized mushrooms choose any one it would surely boost the flavor as well as the nutrition’s. Another smart topping to add to your pizza to boost its nutrition and flavor are mushrooms. Mushrooms are another food that is recommend for males to use to help prevent prostate cancer.</p>
<p>    * Chicken try to order steamed or grilled chicken pizza as it is more healthy and nutritious. Do not order pizza with extra cream sauces as they contain too much of fats and calories which you would not want to put your hand on.</p>
<p>    * Broccoli People usually don’t go for Broccoli but they should as it is the most  nutritional vegetables and ordering pizza with Broccoli topping on your pizza would be a wise move. It has loads of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin A, and other minerals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Obesity is a condition when body fats cells increased and causes a serious destruction of health. An average–sized person required 30 to 35 billion of fat cells for his body.</p>
<p>ObesityHowever, when a person becomes obese these fats cells, increase in size. If he continues his propensity of weight gaining, these cells increase in number.</p>
<p>When a person starts loosing his weight these cells decrease in size, but number of fat cells remain the same. That is why it is very difficult to lose weight once you gain it (normal size of fat cells is 0.4 to 0.6 microgram, it will shrink up to 0.1 microgram and it will enlarge up to 1.2 microgram).<br />
Causes of Obesity:</p>
<p>Few important reasons of obesity are as fallows (for both men and women).</p>
<p>1.    Family History</p>
<p>The genes you have inherited from your parents have strong effects on one’s weight. If parents are enduring from obesity, than their children’s have more chances to become obese. Genes support obesity, eating habits or physical activities of parents and children’s are mostly same, children’s copied the habits of their parents .Obesity becomes family problem for most of the families.</p>
<p>Causes of Obesity</p>
<p>2.    Physical Activities</p>
<p>* Peoples spent hours in front of TV, computer or amount of leisure increased in their lives.</p>
<p>* Mostly job status is related to continuous sitting in office and using computer or other new technology.</p>
<p>* Traveling through cars and keep away from walking shows calories intake is greater than calories burn causes overweight.</p>
<p>3.    Age</p>
<p>As age increases, metabolic rate decreases. Therefore, it is required to take lesser food because when a person has lesser metabolic rate and he eats too much than result is overweight.</p>
<p>4.    Psychological Factors</p>
<p>Psychological factors like depression and anxiety causes overeating in some cases, by taking food they feel better, some takes drinks, some starts smoking to control their nerves all these situation cause weight gain. Sometimes peoples eat more because there is nothing to do without eating.</p>
<p>5.    Lack of sleep</p>
<p>Peoples who sleep less continuously facing problem of obesity .Daily sleep of 7 to 8 hours causes less weight gain, as compared to sleep lesser than this causes serious problems of obesity.</p>
<p>Effects</p>
<p>6.    Medicine</p>
<p>Use of certain medicines causes serious problem of obesity for examples medicines used for antidepressant, after seizures results obesity.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now a day’s life has become so busy that we don’t have time to take proper diet and the diet has subjected to fast food only. And I think in today’s ages of inconvenience there is no need for the introduction of fast food everyone from a child to the older peoples; everyone is just addicted to fast foods. And this attitude of peoples is also not strange as the fast foods are very delicious, filling, instantly available and affordable but the need of hour is that we should get oversell aware of the effects of these foods on us.</p>
<p>The researchers of Oxford university have made a very significant research related to the effects of fast foods and it has been found out that the over consumption of fast foods can badly effect our mental capabilities and eventually can make us dumb. The high fat foods like burgers, kebabs and chips badly effects the neurons of our brain which results in decreased short term memory and bad mental capacity. Thus one should have to be serious about his diet as after this research no one would consciously go on the path which ends in the bad mental workings.</p>
<p>kebabs</p>
<p>The research was basically performed on a group of rats and they have been tested for a couple f days. The group was divided into two groups and one of them was given high fat food and the other one low fat food. It was observed by the biologists that the effect of high fat food seems to appear after some days of consecutive eating of high fats. The rats that were given the high fat food were observed to be slower in their activities than those which were given low fat food. It was observed that the high fat food raises 55 % of calories in the body which were slowing down the daily activities of rats and the other group only constitutes about 7.9% of calories in their body and resultantly they were pretty faster than the other group.</p>
