Embarrassed by Ugly Nails from Fungus?
Toenails that look shriveled or discolored could probably point to the presence of fungus. Fungus makes them ugly but how to cure them?
The obvious choice seems to be to run to the neighborhood pharmacist who will likely prescribe you some drug. Prescribed drugs do work as that is what they were meant for but Continue reading this article →
Let us get back to something real after two faked articles. Surely fresh, natural fruits cannot be fakes. They can only be bombarded with loads of pesticides and I have heard of horror stories on how they are kept in warehouses with chemicals sprayed onto them to keep them “fresh” for weeks and months until they are exported. And these horror stories again originate from one big country – China.
So what do we do when we get the fruits back to our home? Have we ever pondered on how we should eat our fruits? Is there a correct way of eating fruits? Fruits are so frequently used as “bribery food” to children. Very often you will hear an adult telling a child “Finish your food and I’ll give you an apple.” Or “don’t let him eat the orange now; he has not taken his meals.”
Fruits should be eaten on an empty stomach and not after a meal. Fruits become alkaline in our body and therefore there should be no fear of them being acidic and that they should be consumed only after a meal. Eating fruits after a meal causes flatulence. The fruit is ready to go from the stomach to the intestines and if a meal is taken before the fruit, when the fruit comes in contact with the food in the stomach and the digestive juices, the food rots and ferments thus producing gas.
Eating a fruit whole is better than drinking the juice. However, if you do drink the juice, it is recommended that you drink it slowly by the mouthful to allow it to mix with your saliva before swallowing. Never drink warmed up juices as cooking destroys all the vitamins. And never let your fruit juice sit for too long as oxidation also robs it of its vitamins.

China is renowned for anything that is not original. But eggs? These are the titles given to egss that are not laid by the hen. We have heard of fake handbags, pirated softwares, vcds and dvds, counterfeit money but have we in our wildest dream think that some ingenious person will think of producing fake eggs. This has been circulating in the netsphere for quite a while causing alarm in most people but after a while all is forgotten and life goes on with the chicken and egg.
This story goes that during a raid on a wholesale center in Guangzhou, a large quantity of eggs, wholesaling at S$0.03 each, were seized. It also took on a turn that a reporter with a Hong Kong based Chinese magazine, East Week, enrolled in 3-day course at S$150. The story with the detailed pictures look convincing but I find it hard to believe that eggs are no longer eggs. I cannot say for sure if this is a hoax or it’s for real but like many who received this widely circulated email, I have very little concern for it now.
Take a look at these articles and maybe someone can enlighten us on this issue. Are the chickens taking a break or on early retirement?
According to a recent study, it seems that exercise helps to protect men from prostate cancer. The good news is that a few hours of walking a week (read this – a week not a day).
Considering that it is the most prevalent form of cancer in men over 50, this is some good piece of news. With so many causes linked to the cause of prostate cancer like genetics, diet, vitamin D, whatever little that can be done to avoid this disease is certainly welcome.
“As the amount of exercise increased, the risk of cancer decreased,” Dr. Jodi Antonelli, urology resident at Duke University Medical Center said in a news release. However, the subject of the effect of exercise is still an ongoing debate but whatever it still is good to exercise, say I.
Do you know that Himalaya Cold Balm or Vicks Vaporub works wonders with cough? I was a little skeptical when I first received this information and at that time, I had no chance to test it out. I cannot remember exactly when but there was this time when my grandson was unwell and mummy tried this remedy on him. It worked! I shared this information with some adult friends (way into their 40’s and 50’s) and the feedback was amazing. So don’t think that this works only for babies and toddlers. Try it the next time you have a bout of cough and cold.
Just simply apply Himalaya Cold Balm or Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom (sole) of the feet and wear a pair of socks. At the same time you can also rub the ointment on your palm (rub vigorously) and when palm is hot place it on the front chest. Do the same to the back. Do not rub directly onto the chest area, especially on children where their skin is still tender.
Even the most persistent cough will stop in minutes upon application and you can be assured of some sound sleep
