.PARALLEL UNIVERSES.: First Friday Five

First Friday Five

Several readers have been writing me to request for my recommendations for health and medical websites. I have been planning to put every great website I found so far, but I think doing so in one shotgun affair would probably overwhelm you. So I thought of making every Friday a day when I will post not only the coolest sites I found about health and medicine, but other websites that are also worth your while and will inspire you to learn something new.

For this Friday, here are my top 5 recommendations:

29 HEALTHIEST FOODS ON EARTH - if you can make it a habit to include 1 or 2 servings of any of these daily, then you can be confident that you are making a conscious effort to be on the healthier side of eating.

TEN NUTRITION MYTHS - does skipping meals help you lose weight? Is brown sugar better than white sugar? Find out and learn from this website.

BREATHING EARTH - find out how our planet breathes. Interesting country numbers on life and death, too. In the Philippines, for example, 1 person dies every 1.2 minutes.

LEARN JAPANESE - learning a new language makes our brains sharper.

CHALLENGE YOUR SENSES - how sharp are your 5 senses? This short quiz will tell you how sharp your senses are. Includes explanations. I think I was lucky to score 19 out of 20 because I did this after a soothing catnap. Tell me what score you got, ok?

I wish everyone a happy, peaceful weekend. Stay healthy!

Sidney 10/06/2006 6:10 PM: Thank you for the links.
I tested 14/20 :-(
On the positive side I try to learn Tagalog and I eat quite a lot of healthy food...
Anonymous 10/08/2006 3:01 AM: Friday Fives are great...I have been doing them for about 10 weeks now. It has grown in readership each week. I almost stopped after the 3rd. week..but then people started asking for them and they have really done well now.

Good idea!
Moof 10/08/2006 11:12 AM: Great links, Dr. Emer! :o)

I must say though ... I didn't make a very good showing in the testing one! *LOL*
bayi 10/09/2006 9:51 PM: This is an excellent post. It's very informative. Thanks, Dr Emer.
Dr. Emer 10/10/2006 3:41 AM: Thanks everyone for liking the first round. Do come back for more this Friday! :)
