Cupping
We’ve seen so many pictures of many Olympians including Michael Phelps with purple circular red marks of cupping and is making sensation in worldwide. Even though people are discovering what cupping is through these Olympians, cupping has been practiced in Asia, mainly in Korea, China and Japan for thousands years.

Benefits of Cupping:
1. Cupping helps to reduce pain in the body.
It is used for back pain, neck and shoulder pain, knee pain, joint pain, headaches including migraine, and stomachache.
2. Cupping helps treat respiratory issues and colds.
It is considered valuable for the lungs. It can clear congestion from common cold or control asthma. (http://www.pacificcollege.edu/news/blog/2014/09/20/many-benefits-chinese-cupping)
3. Cupping helps promote skin health.
When cupping is applied on the dimpled areas on the body, it can smooth the dimples by creating heat on the area applied on.

The following is the some of the list of the symptoms that can be treated by cupping supported by The British Cupping Society.
Respiratory infections
Blood disorders, such as anemia and hemophilia
Joint pain caused by arthritis and fibromyalgia
Migraine and tension headaches
Muscle aches and stiffness
Fertility and gynecological disorders
Skin problems such as herpes, eczema and acne
High blood pressure (hypertension)

If we can sum up the recent trend in food industry in one word, it would be health! Unlike a few decades ago, many people are obsessed of being healthy, and try to consume healthy food. To satisfy these demands, many food companies came up with new healthier version of their products. This is the reason there are so many TV commercials that claim that they are indeed healthy and nutritious to consume.
When we turn on TV, we are bombarded with commercials that promote how their products are packed with healthy and nutritious ingredients. Not only that, they tell you that being healthy and being lean are correlated to each other and wants you to think that consuming their products will make you loose more weight. For example, both Coca-Cola and Pepsi advertise how their the zero calorie and zero fat diet soda will make your waist line thinner hence it is healthier choice for you than their regular soda.
The huge food processing companies such as Group DANONE (French company that is marketed as the Dannon Company in U.S.), General Mills, Kellogg, etc. want you to think their products are indeed healthy as they claim and spend billions dollars on marketing. We know these foods as “healthy” through commercials. These are the list of the foods that are known healthy foods but in fact are not beneficial to our body:
1. Artificial sweeteners
2. Cereal bars
3. Coffee
4. Diet soda
5. Orange juice
6. Soybean byproducts
7. Wheat bread
8. Yogurt

There are so many reason why I don't take antibiotics. Some are explained by recent article from The New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/01/health/scientist-examines-possible-link-between-antibiotics-and-obesity.html?_r=2&src=me&ref=health
