What’s the Next Big Thing?


2011 did a significantly fierce welcoming. Relentless raining caused floods and landslides in Australia, Brazil, Philippines and several other lands, claimed many lives and left people homeless. Snowstorms across America paralyzed businesses. Terrorists blew bombs in Russia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Earlier this week, Tunisia rocked the world when civil and political unrest broke out. Following the turmoil in the said country are violent protests against the government of Egypt. If there were positive things that came in with the new year, they were significantly minute when compared to all those huge dilemmas. Now, will the next big thing follow the same fierce tracks as the ones mentioned?

If you’re praying to all the gods for little better situations in the coming days, I’m trying to focus my sight on the beneficial things that are alreay available. Talking of the ill occurrences that are triggered by poverty and power-hungry tyrants is already sickening. So let’s talk about something that’s supposedly going to benefit all.

The next big thing should involve a great number of people, pushing them to take necessary steps to get into it. And just what is this big thing that would drive people just like that? Well, guys, it’s but the long standing issue on how to lose fat. Gone are the days of Atkins and south beach diet, or has it indeed been flushed away. Nah, I’m afraid not. But one thing’s for sure, they weren’t successful in encouraging nurses, even with the prospect of being able to fit in smaller sized nursing uniforms.


Okay. So, what’s the next big thing? The resistant starch foods. What is this so called resistant starch food? In the most understandable human language, resistant starch food simply point to food that does not digest in the small intestine. What does it do? The slow disintegration of starch makes a person feel full longer, and that helps curb the actual amount of calories being ingested. Essentially, adding resistant starch foods to your diet, or replacing some of your food items with these would have positive effects on your weight and overall health.

Resistant starch is commonly found in natural and unprocessed foods, most of which are barley, beans, cereals, fruits, brown rice and root crops. Commercial food products that contain resistant starch are also growing in number in the market already. They are found in breads and pastas. Now, if you’re a nurse and you dream of fitting nicely in fashion nursing uniforms, you might as well consider replacing cookies, donuts and chocolate cakes with resistant starch foods.

The problem goes beyond these nurses eating habits. It’s deeply rooted in the economic problem of the society, in general. You should see the real thing when you see the plates of the common people who cannot afford the kind of foods that are considered healthy.
