(part 2)A to Z health resolution for keeps( E-I) and more.

Daughter
Lets countinue our E-I health resolutions....

E = Protect our eyes

As they are the window of your soul. As you age , you need to keep tab on them. Too often our headaches and migranes are actually related to our eyes. You need a trained optometrist to handle such problems. Adults can be tested once in 2 years. But cautions if you are above 40, you should be tested for glaucoma annually. more so if you have a blood relative who has the disease.

F= Floss your teeth daily

Brushing your teeth without flossing is akin to 40% of surface of your teeth uncleaned. That's why the Amerian dental association recommends daily flossing.
it is proven to adds years to your life. Dr. Oz Mehmet says "it will take 2 to 5 years off your real age because of gingivitis and irritation of the glums that occurs if you dont floss your teeth."
so incorporate flossing as a part of your beauty routine. it will probably be your most in expensive "beauty" item- with a guaranteed return.

G= Gastronomy is the science of eating and drinking right.

From nutritional context, a balance diet is one that contains food or drink choices form 5 main food groups they are complex carbohydrates,protein,meat, fruits and fibre. it contribute various important nutrients that together gives you the foundation for a healthy diet

tips: shoot for rainbow colours when it comes to choosing fruits and vegetables." natural colours form fruits and vegetables determine the phytochemicals found in these foods and it is a powerful antioxidants that helps counter free radicals in our bodies."

H= Be happy

"Reactions just attract more of the same and the chain reactions must keep occuring until you move off that frequency by intentionally changing of thoughts" Chew on that. Then do tune in to happier thoughs and brighter days.

I= MOnitor your Insulin levels.

Insulin's the hormone that regulates the absorption of glucose in your cells. you can help it by going easy on your sudar diet. Sugar has no intrinsic value in your diet but it converts into glucose and glucose the substance that causes damage to cells and tissues you desperately want to keep strong: collagen and elastin. the upshot: sugar ages you.
so limit sugar in your diet as food labels don't spell out added sugars.

yup.... til I for today.... other good useful tips for use.

KeEp CooKiEs FreSh
Nobody likes stale cookies. However , you can keep cookies fresh and crisp for a longer time by sprinkling a layer of white sugar at the bottem of the cookie tin.


Stop prolonged coughing
Cut off the top of an orange and poke the flesh randomly with tooth pick. Then sprinkle a bit of salt into the orange and cover it back. Next put the orange standing upright in a small bowl and leave it to steam when there;s rice boiling with just a little bit of water left. When the rice is ready, take the bowl out remove the top of the orange and scrape out the flesh to eat. This seems to work for cough that persist.

ShiNe WooDEn FurNItuRe
Need a natural eco- friendly polish for your wooden furniture? ADD one part lemon juice to 2 parts olive oil, and mix well. Dip a soft cloth in this mixture and use it to polish your furniture. Olive oil acts as a moisturiser for the wood and gives a rich shine.

The Great 2009 diet Spring clean

Daughter

Diet = removing everything you love to eat then your pantry and fridge will be bare?

Its not all that, In nutrition, whenever you make changes, it is important to include a variety of nutritionally better food and drinks, so you will always have options. For everything you remove ,make sure you always replace it with something more positive . Only then will you not feel deprived.

1) Thirst replenishes
Phase out: Carbonated sodas, cordials,packet fruit flavoured drinks, high sugar kiddy drinks,
colourful sugar drinks..
Better replacements: Milk,soya bean milk, probitic drinks(yakult), mineral water, 100% fruit juices( no sugar added), malt drinks

the drinks phased out are drinks that can add substantail calories to your dietary intake - especially if you fill up on high sugary drinks.
Do you know?
A can of carbonated drink has an average of 140 calories and 12 teaspoons of sugar. other than that, it doesn't conatin any vitamins or minerals.
if you have watched out of your salt intake Don't be fooled by the sweet carbonated sodas which is high in sodium suchin adverse effect on people suffering from high blood pressure and kidney disease. sugar cordinals with fruit flavoured are nothing but sugar water and fruit essence.
if your in doubt, read ingredients list if you notice words like sugar, sucrose, fructose or any words with an "ose" suffix is a form of sugar.

Better drinks as the above even though they may contain sugar as sweetener but they contribute protein,calcium and other more important vitamins.

Tips:
If you do enjoy carbonated drinks but do not want to take to much sugar, there is a mega simple drink you can make:
Mix 1/2 cup 100% fruit juice( no sugar added) with 1/2 cup of soda water. stir in some ice cubes. Pure fruit juice but with a tang.
Enjoy.

2) Sugary Cereals
Phase out : high sugar breakfast cereals with loads of food colouring, cereals with lack of fiber.

these cereals do nothing for any member of your family and it cost way to much.
for better options look for cereals with no more than 10g of sugar per serving and at least 3 g or more fibre

instead to replace it with Oatmeal, muesli, whole grain cereal flakes, cheerios, oatmeal squares, rice crispies.

Tips:
if you like cereal chocolatey use chocolate milk in your cereal

3) Can it!
Phase out : Canned vegetables and canned fruit
these above robs away the food of their vitamin and usualy in sugar syrup.canned vegetables are high in sodium which means high in salt bad for health.
instead its better to eat fresh fruits and vegetables they are cheaper and best. for back support frozen food aisle for frozen vegetable sources.Dried fruit can make up a fruit serving too. remember 1/4 cup dried fruit is a serving = 1 cup of fresh fruit.

4) Forget the frozen Nuggets and Fries
Phase out: Frozen Drummettes , Nuggets , french fries, frozen burger patties, hash browns, wedges etc
all this food may seen fast and convenient,but they really are no faster than you buying fresh chicken drummettes and coatting them with your own bread crumbs before lighty pan frying or baking.
Prosessed potatoes that have been frozen are usually laden with oil within. when you deep fry them you are double frying and this adds unnecessarily fats.
Frozen burger patties and sausages use fatty parts of the meat. hence are high in trans fats which is artery clogging.
Better replacements are fresh meat and potatoes

The problem of Goodness

Luke 6 : 27-38

They demonstrate that God'd law is written in their hearts

(Romans 2: 15)

Some atheists have a problem with evil. They will say they don't believe in God because there's so much evil in the world has to wrestle with where the ability to make moral judgements comes from.

If everything that exists is merely the result of meaningless chaos and evolution, then there is no good or evil , right or wrong ; there's only pain, discomfort, and death - all teasing us with temporary painlessness , ease, and fleeting breath.

Actually, given the power and creativity of people, the great marvel is not that there is evil but that there is goodness.

Why isn't life more horrible and joyless than it is? Why doesn't society collapes into violent competition and constant warfare the way predatory animals and their prey do? Why do some people just scratch and claw for every personal advantage? Why do some people sacrifice?

Well the truth is that death , pain , and evil compel every one of us - confessing atheist or not - to believe that something is horribly wrong with the world. In the depth of our soul something rebels against evil. Professing atheists have to understand that they can't have such moral views of " the way things should be" unless they also grant that there is a God.

George MacDonald once commented " if one doesn't believe in the good person he can see, how will he ever believe in a good God he can't see?" Thats one reason Christians strive to be loving and good : to show Gods goodness and love in our lifes

A to Z Health Resolutions for Keeps. (part 1) with a few tips on life

Daughter

Life can always be fun and fullfilling just a few steps to keep you up on your toes..

For today ill teach you A - D

A = Keep Active

Move. Develop a mindset that makes it a routine for you to stay in motion. pick up a sport ( badminton, swimming)
Start by simply taking the stairs. Being Active also means to exercise.
Most people would misunderstand it to some kind of killer work out for an hour that just leaves you sore and zombified. ha.ha. i understand how you feel... after a long day at work or just a long day of life duty makes ones lazy..working and house work is totally different then exercise..
but instead you can jus commit 30min 3 times a week... its not about how long it is about you being consistent
remember Never work out to a point of exhaustion.
Keep it sensible and consistent and watch your fitness level skyrocket.


B= Look after your BONES

Independent studiest conducted at various universities in US and Hong kong indicates that soy food have a protective effect on our bones . as it enhance calcium retention and absorption.
Combining this soya diet with weight-bearing exercise(causing you to lift weights). it's vital to buliding bone mass. it's all a great investment in your bone bank.

C = Chew you food

Too many of us just gulp our food down without even tasting it. This ends as a result of kaleidoscope eating disorders that are increasingly routine ; heartburn,indigestion and over-eating that leads to obesity.

So lets be wiser. taste every mouthful of food. Chew on it and reap the two-fold benefits. Not only you will digest your food better , magically you'll also end up eating less.

D= Visit the Doctor

At least once a year get a thorough medical check up. It could save your life seriously. Be a strong advocate to prevention as sickness shows in the routine blood or urine testing or an ECG for the heart.
