It's official! Having Sex Just As Effective As Gyming


A new study has found that having sex is similar to exercising, as it burns an average of 4.2 calories a minute in men and 3.1 calories a minute in women. For the study, sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson observed 21 young heterosexual couples having sex and discovered that heart rates reached as high as 180 beats per minute, Live Science reported. Participants in the study were asked to don an armband, called SenseWear, that would help researchers keep an eye on their energy expenditures while they had sex.

Before being sent home to have sex at least four times in a month, each person was required to do a 30-minute moderate-intensity workout on the treadmill to provide a baseline measure of their calorie expenditure during exertion. The findings showed that men, on average, spent 101 calories while having sex, as compared to 276 calories on the treadmill. Also, women spent an average of 69 calories during a sex session, compared to an average of 213 calories on the treadmill.

According to researchers, the results of the study suggest that sexual activity may potentially be considered, at times, as a significant exercise.

Who Is An Entrepreneur?

An individual who, rather than working as an employee, runs a small business and assumes all the risk and reward of a given business venture, idea, or good or service offered for sale. The entrepreneur is commonly seen as a business leader and innovator of new ideas and business processes.

1. Organises a business venture and assumes the complete risk for the venture at times, giving his personal guarantee and taking personal liabilities.

2. Has looked at a problem and seen it as an opportunity. He would then develop on this opportunity to start something new with the intention of generating surpluses for himself or his investors.

3. Has fire in his belly to do something and feels that his ambition is being held in check by the corporate red tape. But it takes more than just cleverness and frustration with the status quo to get an entrepreneurial venture off the ground.

4. Is someone who assumes the financial risk of the initiation, operation and management of the business.

Most entrepreneurs are driven not by the need to make money, but by the need to make their dreams a reality. More often than not, money is a byproduct of an entrepreneur's motivation rather than the motivation itself. Entrepreneurs are participants, not observers; players, not fans. And to be an entrepreneur is to be an optimist, to believe that with the right amount of time and money, you can achieve anything. When an entrepreneur reaches an obstacle, she/he turns it into an opportunity.

Failure is essential for any new entrepreneur to succeed. We cannot let any adversity pull us back. We have to learn from our mistakes and our adversities, accept the knock our profit-and-loss account will take and keep moving ahead. Every entrepreneur has to plan for the best but prepare for the worst. An entrepreneur's 'gut feeling' is often the subject of a lot of discussion and my own learning here has been that gut feeling is really the extract of one's own experience and one's ability for risk-taking rather than some vision that an entrepreneur purportedly has had.

Contrary to popular belief, entrepreneurs aren't generally high risk takers when they can't affect the outcome of the situation. They tend to set realistic and achievable goals, and when they do take risks, those are usually calculated ones based on facts and experience, rather than instinct. If one is convinced about an idea, there is no better time than now to start one's journey as an entrepreneur. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.

Take the plunge and start your planning process now. There is no day as good as today to make a beginning if you genuinely believe in your dream. Building a new company is hard work. But the hardest part of building a new company is not coming up with a new idea. You need to stay committed to your dream when you are dead tired or when you have to tell your spouse that you cannot go to a party because your work needs you more. If you are not willing to give up on things which are really important for you or if you are likely to be put down because of a rejection, it will be very difficult to stick to your idea and implement it.

Brown rice doesn't taste as good but is nutritionally superior to white rice

Brown Rice

There has been constant debate over white rice versus brown rice for decades. Although white rice seems to be a favourable choice for the majority of people for its appetising taste and appearance, brown rice wins hands-down when it comes to health benefits. Says holistic health guru Mickey Mehta, "Brown rice is healthier since the refining process only removes the hull of the rice kernel, leaving its nutrition intact. On the other hand, the milling and polishing used to make rice white, strips off its essential nutrients and vitamins."

Technically speaking...
A cup of brown unpolished rice contains 88 per cent of manganese, 27.3 per cent of selenium, 20.9 per cent of magnesium, 18.7 per cent of tryptophan and only 12 per cent calories. The conversion of rice from brown to white destroys about 60 per cent of iron, 80 per cent of vitamin B1, 67 per cent of vitamin B3, 90 per cent of vitamin B6, 60 per cent of iron and almost half the phosphorous, manganese and dietary fibre naturally present in the rice.

Nutritious and wholesome
Packed with natural oils, brown rice is extremely heart-friendly. Due to its fibrous concentration, brown rice facilitates healthy bowel movement and promotes weight-loss.

A cup of brown rice fulfils about 80 per cent of the daily requirement of manganese in the body. Manganese helps in the formation of healthy cholesterol. Brown rice improves metabolism and keeps you feeling fuller for a long time.

Replacing white rice with brown rice in your diet can help reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Says Mickey Mehta, "Like wheat, brown rice is also a type of whole-grain. Organically grown wild brown rice is the best as it is packed with all the essential nutrients and vitamins."

Brown Rice Nutrion Facts
Brown rice is whole grain rice. It has a mild, nutty flavor, and is chewier and more nutritious than white rice, but goes rancid more quickly because the bran and germ—which are removed to make white rice—contain fats that can spoil.
