DISCOVER HEALTH

Okay, we're done with living water, let's check out the opposite...dead? I've no idea what it's called, it's just not alive. Here's what I found; reverse osmosis and distilled. Both are very clean but way too clean, no germs, no minerals. Just water. Bad? No. Good? Not sure. But upon my findings, drinking living water brings much benefits for our health, the opposite type of water does not cure nor does it heals. It just water. Distillation and R.O. is made just like we did those water experiments in school, at least I did. Lab work that took hours for tiny bits of water...turns out it's not the best end product we'd yearned for. And before I forget, boiled water. R.O, distilled and boiled water. RO: If you understand how osmotic pressure works, you'll get how reverse osmosis works. First, let's look at a normal osmosis-a semipermeable membrane with tiny pores is placed to diffuse water apart from ions (sodium, chloride and calcium, etc..incl...

Life is not bland. And it will never be. We are due for adventures, joy, sorrow, hardship and lots more of the unexpected. We may put effort in building our dreams and shaping our future but things really are, not within our means. We can try, however, whatever the consequences that may arise should be accepted with an open heart, when we don't this is when our emotions take control. Everyone will face a moment struggle, and it's really just a tiny matter, unless we let it become big. Bear in mind that you are not the only one dealing with difficulties and challenges, everyone has to go through it and some have even worse agendas on their list. Don't make a fuss over small matters. Problems do have resolutions and hardship are meant to strengthen our souls. Emotions aren't great leaders, and at times of heart aches or faced with calamities, it maneuvers terribly. And allowing it to guide you, seems far from wisdom. What are considered challenges? Anger Hatred Jea...

Why is Oprah's name up there? Just because I kind of borrowed this info from Oprah.com , where I go for visits now and then to scoop up valuable knowledge. So, today I found out about reading to an unborn child, and I think it's an interesting  point that may have been neglected by many preggy mommies out there,so I though I'd share it. (These questions are answered by Dr. Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen) The situation: Does the unborn child hears anything from the outside? When we read or talk to him, does it affects the baby significantly?  A: Don't be surprised but they do, loud, ear-banging stereos are surely to be heard, other sorts of sounds that seeps through bones ans tissues are also being heard by them. By the 24th week they are able to recognize their mother's voice and it's what make it calm. Pregnant mothers are strongly advice to talk to their growing child as this helps to enhance it's mental/ brain developments and kick starts the baby's...

We have gone through the negative side of red meat. Now the obvious way of avoiding the health risks it possess is to cut down our intake of red meat, however in any circumstances that we cannot abstain ourselves from it, we could at least try to lessen the harmful effects packed with it, by injection or by overcooking(carcinogenic). I have no idea how can we prevent the antibiotics effects, but we can if we are cooking free range beef that is. My tips here today will be cutting on 2 things, they are:- The cholesterol level. The carcinogens. Making red meat a safer consumption Every now and then we still go for red meat booths (except for vegans) when we go for grocery, so don't let those cravings ends up in an unhealthy meal. Feed ourselves well, guilt-free! If you're planning for a BBQ outing with friends and family, you could substitute the use of charcoal with propane , less smoke and lower temperature requirement, this reduces the formation of carcinogens.

Some of us finds difficulty in achieving a healthy life-style. Who's to blame? With all the temptations of mouth-watering desserts, easy-to-prepare can and instant foods, fast foods on the go, video games over exercising, there's just so much distractions. Kids get their habits by looking at their parents, and no matter how strictly you try to mold your  child for perfection, when you overlook your own flaws they'll never be flawless as youwish they would. I'm not going into parenting tips ,just a little reminder for parents and parents-to-be out there. If you want your child to eat and grow healthily, it's easy. You eat and live healthily, they'll digest it better and follow in your lead. If you are on the call for burgers every weekend and enjoying gassy beverages in the noon, don't aspect your kid not to. Wasn't that way off the topic? My apologies, drifted by the weather I guess. Okay, back to being healthy. There are a few simple tricks that are e...

In ignorance, not many of us are aware how vital gratitude is, thus we ignore to acknowledge it, and as time passes on, we fall deeper and deeper into a deep hollow well where 'being thankful' becomes a stranger to us. I bet most of us are taught to feel grateful in life, to accept whatever happens and to live through challenges and obstacles. But, why nowadays, it seems that gratefulness is thinning  from our souls? Why do we forget to say ' Alhamdulillah" upon walloping a a triple-cheese burger for lunch. And do we even realize that with every single breath that we take, it's beyond our capacity. So, learn to be grateful. It's more than just thankfulness. I bet in most religion, it preaches towards feeling thankful and blessed at all times, however since I am a Muslim, I will be concentrating in my own religion. In Islam, the act of gratitude is also known as ' Syukur ', the opposite of that is ' kufr '. It is said that faith consists of two...

Good morning to all. Have you brushed your teeth this morning? Well, I am not going to write about brushing your teeth, as we all know brushing is essential to keep the teeth clean and eliminate the food residues stuck in between our teeth. Bad mouth odor is the cause of endless breeds of bacteria, improper oral cleansing and trapped food particles inside the mouth, however sometimes it is the result of a disease, for example sinusitis, blood, lungs and gastrointestinal problems. But brushing has it's limits, and there are deep loop holes where the brush cannot reach, this is why mouthwash are available, as these mouthwash are in liquid form, they can seep into hidden areas where we can or cannot see. And when they do make their way into these hidden places, they bring out the bacteria and whatever that's been sitting in our mouth and deterioration our oral hygiene. I don't fancy those liquid mouthwash in the stores,they taste quirky and they come with all sorts of harmf...

Who says eating chocolates are bad? They are not that evil. Good news! They are safe to eat and they benefit our health! SO, lets rejoice and eat more of the good stuff! But maybe moderation is better. When picking out for chocolates, remember, be aware, not all chocolates are therapeutic. Choose the pure chocolates, that's where the good stuff are at, the ones mixed with all sorts of preservatives and additives are surely to be sweeter yet less of nutrition. One important note; chocolates are not the cause of pimples.(Acne are the cause of bad eating habits, a constipated colon, improper facial cleansing, hormone factors and emotional imbalances) Picking the right chocolate--> Dark chocolate. At this moment, the only chocolate I know that makes a positive outcome on our health is dark chocolate. So, pick this instead of milk chocolate, as it contains more of the cocoa powder which is actually is the source of goodness. Those which comes with nougat, caramel or fillings b...

Free radicals, aren't they getting much publicity these days? What makes them so famous? They're notorious, that's why we know them. We just want to run away from them, avoid them, never to make any contact what so ever with them but... its too much to wish for because like it or not everywhere we go and most of what we eat contributes to the formation of these radicals. Why hate them? They are just a by product made by us. Yes, but when they start to over produce, they'll start a riot and vandalize our body. Free radicals are simply an oxygen molecule. So, why does it brings so much fear to us? We breathe in oxygen all the time. These radicals are no ordinary oxygen which is O2= 2 molecules of oxygen bounded together, this is what our body needs.
