5 Easy Ways to Eat Chili Dog Guilt-Free

We all know that chili dog brings a lot of calories to our body and that it’s not good for our body shape. But as for taste of it, we love it too much. At the same time have you ever wondered how many? One simple plain hot dog is 250, one with ketchup and mustard is 284 and chili hot dog is around 339.  But even if it seems a lot for you that is not a reason not to have a tasty, your favorite, hot dog, so there are 5 ways to follow and guilt-free!

1)    Smile and laugh. Scientists calculated that just 15 minutes of laughter a day burn 10-40 calories. Plus, having a laugh will make you feel more positive and ultimately, that will motivate you for other steps.

2)    Dancing. Just pick up your favorite song and enjoy it! Nothing can be easier. Researches proved dancing burns 221 calories in 30 minutes, so that’s around 40 calories for just 5 minute-long song!

3)    Singing. Even if you sing only in front of shampoo and shower gel for 10 minutes you will lose 40 calories!  Singing in front of someone will add you more points, though.

4)    Kissing and hugging. Here we go, a scientific fact: kissing for 1 minute can burn up to 5 calories. Hugging someone will use up another 2 calories. And you know, even little changes make big difference.

5)    Talking and telling stories. Talking on the phone will help you to cut 1 calorie per minute. But c’mon, we talk at least 20-30 minutes a day in average, so 30 calories for talking with friends on the phone, plus laughing is 60 then, not bad. Telling a story is a good way too, it’s been calculated 3-4 calories per minute if you stay and gesticulate.

And don’t forget that you loose calories with your daily routing! All per hour:

o   14 Cal for standing in a line

o   68 Cal for dressing/undressing

o   68 Cal for standing while getting ready for bed/ while preparing dinner

o   102 Cal goes to hairstyling

o   136 Cal for loading/unloading your car

So, take a shower, where you can sing your favorite song, make you hair done, dress up, grab your friends, go to a place which sells delicious hot-dogs, wait in a line to order (except it as a good thing now), eat, talk, tell stories, make fun, laugh, dance, hug your friend and just enjoy your life! No calories and body changes guaranteed.

Killing Hot Dogs

Your parents always told you not to eat much fast food, and hot dogs in particular, they said it’s bad for your health. So what a bun and a sausage with toppings can really do to you and were your parents right?

All hot dogs (and other meat that has been cured, such as bacon or salami) contain nitrates, which are added to the meat during the cooking process to prevent the growth of botulism and to help the hot dogs maintain a vibrant pinkish color (without the nitrates, the hot dogs would turn brown or gray). Here’s the catch, though. In the human body, these nitrates form nitrosamines, which have been associated with various cancers. 

According to The Cancer Project: Eating a hot dog every day can increase your risk of colorectal cancer by 21 percent. An NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study found that processed red meat was associated with a 10 percent increased risk of prostate cancer with every 10 grams of increased intake. A study in Taiwan showed that consumption of cured and smoked meat can increase children's risk for leukemia. A study in Australia found that women's risk for ovarian cancer increased as a result of eating processed meats.
 All that sounds pretty bad. But if you think that buying organic hot dogs alleviate the problem then you may be sorely disappointed. It's the same nitrites and nitrates in processed meats such as hot dogs that are linked with all sorts of cancers. Nitrates and nitrites are used in the processing of meat to provide the color and taste we've all grown accustomed to in our dogs. They're also used to kill bacteria and prevent botulism. Conventional hot dogs use sodium nitrite, the synthetic version, while natural and organic versions use celery powder or celery juice to preserve their product. But in fact both have heavy doses of nitrate, according to The New York Times.

So what can we conclude? Not to eat hot dogs and mom was right? And yes, and no.

Eating hot dogs often can really have bad influence on you. But researches have shown that Vitamin C and A can reduce the nitrates twice. So if you can afford hot dog, not every day, combining with products containing vitamins C and A, that won’t hurt you that much.
