EATING FRUIT...

EATING FRUIT...
We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?


IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.


FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.
Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!


Graying hair
, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!


KIWI:
Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE:
An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY:
Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE :
Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON:
Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA:
Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!
Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.


A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS


BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS
1. No Breakfast.
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating.
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption.
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution.
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation.
Sleep allows our brain to rest... Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells...
7. Head covered while sleeping.
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness.
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts.
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely.
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

The main causes of liver damage.
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.

2. Not urinating in the morning.

3. Too much eating.

4. Skipping breakfast.

5. Consuming too much medication.

6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food colouring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil.
As much as possible reduce cooking oil when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.'
The top five cancer-causing foods
1. Hot Dogs. Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.
2. Processed meats and Bacon Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.
3. Doughnuts Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.
4. French fries Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries.
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.
PASS THIS TO ALL WHOM YOU LOVE & CARE FOR

Types of Skin

  

Sensitive skin

Many people are affected by the redness, dry skin, acne, sunburn, and other bumps and blemishes caused by sensitive skin. The exact cause of the condition itself may vary, as some attribute certain symptoms to genetics, while others blame food, cosmetics and other environmental factors. Treating sensitive skin will depend on which symptoms are present, and may also be influenced by many factors. Sensitive skin tends to get worse in extreme weather. This doesn't mean the sensitivity is all in the sufferer's mind. Sensations like itching, tingling, stinging, burning or tightness are too strong to be ignored.



Oily skin

Do you have over productive sebaceous glands, which are responsible for oily skin? The good news is this skin type is generally slower to show fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration. The downside can be more frequent breakouts, large pores and a greasy appearance. Your genes and hormones play the key role in whether or not you have oily skin. Diet probably has little to do with whether or not you have oily skin. An oily skin, as the name implies, is one in which the sebaceous or oil-producing glands are over active. As surface grease tends to attract dirt, an oily skin acquires a dirty surface film, which needs to be constantly take care of.

Pigmentation


Skin is the largest organ of the body. It is made up of two layers, the upper 'epidermis' and the lower 'dermis'. The epidermis and the dermis are further divided into other layers.
The lower most layer of the epidermis is known as the basal layer and it contains organelles called 'melanosomes'. These melanosomes contain cells called melanocytes which produce a pigment called 'melanin'. The color of skin depends mainly on this melanin and the amount of melanin present in the other layers of the epidermis. The thickness of epidermis and vascularity of the epidermis are other factors affecting the color of skin.



Wrinkles and aging skin

Changes in the connective tissue reduce the skin's strength and elasticity. Aging skin repairs itself more slowly than younger skin. Wound healing may be up to 4 times slower. A wrinkle is a fold, ridge or crease in the skin. Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of aging processes such as glycation. Wrinkling in the skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors. Depletion of water in the body, as occurs with dehydration, can also cause this puckering of the skin.   Cortisol causes degradation of skin collagen





Other problems

Rosacea:

Many people with rosacea have a history of frequent blushing or flushing. This facial redness may come and go, and is often the earliest sign of the disorder. “Persistent Redness Persistent facial redness is the most common individual sign of rosacea.



Psoriasis:

Psoriasis is a common, persistent or recurrent inflammatory skin disorder in adults. There is a strong genetic element, although this is not evident in every case. The large majority of sufferers go through life with a few psoriatic plaques or have just one attack with more generalized lesions. For these comparatively lucky people the disease is no bar to work of any type. Unfortunately there are several groups of psoriatic whose skin problem interferes with their work.



Seborrhoeic dermatitis:

Sore red rashes may develop in the main flexures of heavily built sportsmen and -women when the weather is hot and damp. These patches are not due to ringworm although they arise at the same sites and are similar in appearance. Some call this condition 'sweat rash', while others prefer 'seborrhoeic dermatitis'. It is probably due to a combination of mechanical injury from the rubbing of clothes on skin surfaces and mild infections (due to overgrowth of the normal skin bacteria). At times it may be very itchy because the inflamed skin develops an eczematous reaction.

other skin problems :

Skin has a very complicated and an extraordinary structure. It gets damaged frequently, when it came in direct with sun light or UV radiations and victimized by several skin problems. Recently, skin diseases have become very common health problem for the whole population. There are almost 73% of human beings that are troubled by different forms of skin disease and are busy in seeking some appropriate treatments for them Although many chronic skin problems like; Atopic Eczema, Psoriasis, and Vitiligo are not life-threatening and do not have any harmful affect on daily activities; but they case a considerable burden on our health and quality of life

The surprising benefits of lemon!

Not sure to what extent this remedy will work for cancer. Anyway there is no harm if this does not work. You still get a cupful of lemonade! The alkaline water will also help to balance our body which is acidic because of our normal diet.


SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER THAN CHEMO!!! PLEASE READ BELOW !
THEN SHARE AROUND.
Just cut 2-3 thin slices of lemon in a cup/container and add drinking water which will become "alkaline water". Drink it for the whole day, just by adding drinking water.
The surprising benefits of lemon!
I remain perplexed!

======================

Institute of Health Sciences, 819 N. L.L.C. Charles Street Baltimore , MD 1201.
This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer!
Read carefully & you be the judge

Lemon
(Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.
Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by
letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.
The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that
:
It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers
including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

Bonafides Prestige

Fancy some pampering from head to toe without having to transverse from place to place, hence saving all that time for an extra dose of indulgence? With the opening of Bonafides Prestige just last year, spa goers have something to cheer about. Patrons will have no trouble finding this spa, located right in the heart of Orchard at Centrepoint, home to Robinsons as well as Marks & Spencer. Bonafides' chic yet comfortable ambience cajoles patrons to lay their tired feet (and shopping bags!) and just be pampered at this one stop lifestyle-wellness spa.


Open the doors to Bonafides Prestige and be ushered into a plush reception area where consultants will at once sooth your frazzles nerves with a dainty cup of steaming ginger tea. Settle back and enjoy the soothing background music, absorbing the... ambience as you fill up your consultation card. The glass panel, which separates the spa from the shopping arena, acts a canvas to filter reality as you await your treatment. The consultation rooms sport separate state of the art scanners for facial and hair analysis. Venture forth and you will be surprised to note that this spa houses 23 treatment rooms in all. The spa delineates separate routes, leading to the treatment rooms to ensure that males and females patrons are accorded the strictest privacy. Step into the wellness corner; your entrance will be heralded by a cobblestone path, entreating the male or female patrons to luxuriate in the jacuzzi, sauna or hydrobath, each in their own private sanctuary.


If a picture is worth a thousand words, so is looking at the nuances of your skin “enlarged” as seen through the screen of the facial scanner. Therapists, adept at using the scanner will inform patrons of problem areas and suggest a suitable facial treatment. Notably, a facial at Bonafides is not all about following the “exact routine” of the prescribed treatment. Ivy, a beauty advisor, explains that she uses acu-point facial massage in lieu of a normal face massage, in my case, to prevent a breakout due to my skin type. Treatment is hence customized and adapted to suit individuals and enhance the benefits.


After the refreshing O2 facial, it was time to adjourn to another therapy room for the second installment of my journey of indulgence. The treatment chosen is the back massage, one meant to induce relaxation and a remedy for everyday stress. Notably, at Bonafides, not only are the rooms specialized, staff tasks are clearly delineated too. The therapist handles “face essential” while “body essential” are left in the good hands of skilled masseuse.


If you have time on your hands, head to the adjoining Hair Spa where a hair care specialist will perform a thorough Hair and Scalp Analysis, to customize a specially formulated preparation, validated by a Trichologist, to suit your unique needs. My tresses were definitely in good hands and as I walked out after their signature treatment, I beamed approval with a glowing countenance and a becoming coiffure.


The SD Advisor's take on Bonafides
Providing value-for-money treatments, Bonafides certainly excels in terms of location, products as well as expertise. The one-stop wellness haven concept is indeed a lifeline for people who are in the rush or find it a hassle to have to hop from place to place. In terms of treatments, the face spa comes highly recommended as the treatment prescribed is effective and gets to the root of the problem, hence solving it. Nonetheless, the spa encourages regular visits for treatment to garner optimum results. With 22 years of experience and 7 outlets scattered around Singapore, you are undoubtedly in good hands wherever you choose to have your treatment!
