Hulk Knows the color!!

Yeah, I called it. The Most muscular super hero sure knows the color.. GREEN.. It's not just in pens and papers or even on screen that the huge beast, the Incredible HULK is ripped and as dry as the deserts of Sahara.

I know a lot of people from the gym have one common concept on building mass. Lots of meat, carbs and proteins. but they fail to mention lots of fruits and vegetables. As of always, meat have always been an all time favourite in Mass building process. Especially "BEEF" which contains not only Protein but a high dose of creatine. Next you have the chicken breast and eggs tied closely at 2nd, moving on to fish.... but wait... all these hard to digest protein won't get anywhere near your muscles if your system can't fully process them least to absorb them. If your digestive system is not functioning properly, how is it that you are able to reap the goodness of all the items which you just stuff into that slaughter house?

Vegetables and fruits are a good source of fiber and many of them contains great enzymes which helps your digestive system to function properly. And according to my studies, there is a substance in vegetables which helps you to get that ripped effect by slowing down the process of protein being burnt as food for the body. by doing so, your body actually stays full longer which ends up aiding your metabolism to last longer. isn't that what all bodybuilders have been hunting for all this while? prolonged metabolism rotations which helps to burn fats all day long without turning to catabolism.

Final words, Go Green, Go Hulk!!

Feeling Corny?

Whoa! POP CORN??? YUMMY?!! Am I sure?...... emm...

HELL YEAH!!

hahaha.... well, a lot of people consider popcorns as comfort food which is far from anything healthy.. well, it is comfort food but rather preparation is very important to either make it healthy o not.

Popcorn has been misjudged for many decades least centuries.. well, at least since it was found. Probably due to all the misguidance from the western movies we watched visibly showing how obese boys chowing ton and tons of popcorns in front of their tv or in the cinemas? probably... but popcorn itself is a healthy snack choice. It's a healthy whole grain choice which contains tons of fibers and merely just 93 calories with less than 1.5 gms of fat for a standard air-popped 3 cups serving without any other ingredients.

but unfortunately, society today would not risk their taste buds for anything less than tasty to enter the gateway to their heart. Ingredients such as caramel, sugar, butter... etc have been added to taste as well as fats and calories. Need I say more the next time you visit a cinema.. you know what to do... Usually I either sneak my own snacks if the confectionery in the cinema lacks of the choice.... (will be discussed in the next log) Sorry Cinema owners, but if only you have healthier selections other than the carbonated sugary drinks and those fatty and high calories snacks, probably the health conscious crowd would let you earn their hard earn cash.

Well, new research has found out that popcorns has got large level of health-boosting antioxidants called "polyphenols" Polyphenols found in fruits and vegetables are thought to help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

So I'd say "POP that CORN but CORN it NATURALLY"

Marang / Buah Tarap

Marang or better know as Buah Tarap by locals here in Borneo is a local favorite sweet fruit with a strong scent equivalent to the king of fruits Durian and the Jackfruit. I've tried to search for it around peninsula Malaysia but to no success. hahaha... but today is my lucky day as it's the season where it floods the market's floor. At RM10 for 3 at most stalls it's a reasonably priced fruit to be enjoyed with.

There is a secret to choosing this fruit according to my dad. If you want to find those with larger seeds, seek the ones with thicker spines. trust me, you will wanna get those with thicker spines.

My cravings surpass my sanity as I dash to open one once we reached home and even finish the whole thing in barely under 10 minutes.. hahaha... gosh, i miss it so much... it's not the best but still, its good... if you've been to Borneo and have yet tried a Buah Tarap, you have not been to Borneo. look pass the surface covered with spines and once you deep your fingers into these soft, moist fruit and melt it in your mouth as the juice ooze out and fill you taste bud... you know where this is going :) enjoy

It's not the best looker but it's delicious

Check out the amount you get with one

Gone in 10 minutes..... on my own
