When it comes to food, Mexican cuisine offers a wide variety of incredible dishes, most of them quite easy to make. However, before learning how to prepare Mexican rice, it is important to distinguish it from the Spanish version. 

A debate has been raised over the years, since Spanish rice is considered by many people as the original meal, while others claim it was the Mexicans who invented it. Fact is that knowing the differences will help you make both dishes properly.

What Is the Difference Between Epilepsy and Seizures?

Epilepsy is among one of the many neurological conditions that most countries are putting up medical centers to handle. Seizures tend to occur when electrical impulses in the brain go beyond the normal rate. The impulses can even be spread to the muscles, which can cause the patient to convulse. When one is diagnosed with epilepsy, it is always a result of many seizure experiences. Most people described epilepsy generally as a result of certain injuries in the brain. There are many things that you probably did not know about seizure and epilepsy. Comprehensive details about these medical conditions are provided below.

Manitoba Harvest: Hemp Yeah Protein Powder Review

Back in December, we talked about Manitoba Harvest Hemp Yeah protein bars. Now, it is time to discuss their protein powder. You might not think that protein bars and powders for shakes have a lot in common, but these two are very similar. They both have robust and earthy flavors, but present some challenging textures for many. In short, their chocolate plant protein blend is incredibly thick and with larger serving sizes, it can be messy and hard to blend under normal circumstances.

Overall, it is a high-quality product, with a rich and earthy flavor, that would be ideal for someone who isn’t on a budget and is making their shakes in a larger blender at home.

The Benefits To Investing In A Smart BMI Scale

Everything ranging from refrigerators, watches, phones, and even scales are going smart thanks to the ever-advancing digital technology. We now have the smart BMI scale that is quickly becoming popular because of its capabilities. The scale is used to measure the body mass index, which refers to the normal weight and the body composition in fat percentage. Therefore, a smart BMI scale uses an app to help track data and communicate the results with the user. The device collects data and stores it in systems like smartphones or computers.

Why Nutrition is Vital For Fitness

Many people think regular exercise is the crux of all fitness, but it isn’t the only dictator of physical prowess. There’s an increasing focus on nutrition throughout the health and fitness world, as nutritionists are only beginning to unravel the important benefits that different eating habits and ingredients can bring to the table. What people eat actually has more of an impact on overall health and fitness potential than exercise. It’s important for weight loss, most specific sustained fitness programs and attentiveness to many diseases and health conditions.

Manitoba Harvest’s Hemp Yeah! (Protein Bar Review)

Oh no, here it is. Another protein bar review. Do they ever end? Truth be told, it seems like there is a never-ending supply of ready-to-eat protein snacks out there. It is hard staying on top of them all, but for us, it is important to know what exists because we’re asked for recommendations ALL THE TIME! We rarely find a product that is worthy of being coined innovative in any stretch of the imagination. When we do find innovative products, they’re not necessarily win-wins. For example, our review of Built Bar gave them credit for making a product that had a very strange texture. While we weren’t fans of it, we figured someone out there might be. Innovative? In a way. Enjoyable? Not for us. Enough of that old news though; what about Manitoba Harvest’s Hemp Yeah bar?

We’re Back!

Sometimes, we don’t find the time to create our own work, but we maintain a steady stream of posts through partners and guests. That wasn’t the case this past month, but we’re glad to be back. Where did we go?

An effective workout routine challenges your body to keep pushing for the next milestone. Whatever goals you have for your gym sessions, it’s important to prioritize.

Why a Gym Should NOT Have Sales Staff!

Today, we released a lengthy video on YouTube, which you can watch HERE. In this video, we discussed why a gym doesn’t need a team dedicated to sales. We felt the same way before covid made a huge impact on the world, so please don’t think this was motivated simply from the economic changes in the past few months.
