The first time I had an avocado in my hands, I wasn't enthusiastic. "What should I do with this thing?" I thought, it's all greenish outside and cutting it into halves to see, greenish flesh, appealing? not really, but those were the days when I never cared about what I ate, as long as it's a pleasure to my taste buds, it's a pleasure to me.

Oh yeah, daily chocolate treats were no big deal for me and the toll was; toothaches! Not once..not twice..but countless of visits to the dentist finally left a scar of lesson in my head. Then I started to cut down on those sweet stuff. But other junk foods, such as crisps and fast foods were still on the list. My attention towards my health aroused when I first studied about MSG, additives, all sorts of chemicals and how they affect the body. However attentiveness wasn't enough, and I d...

What do you think causes snoring? A.K.A. sleep apnea. As I grew up, I thought snoring was a result from a dead log sleep from weariness, it could be possible, but my readings proved otherwise. Did you know that snoring is the cause of breathing problems when sleeping? Shocking truth? I bet there are a lot of people out there who snores (how do we know if we snore? Ask witnesses) and yet have no idea that snoring is a sign of danger. It's not just annoying to the ears, it's annoying to the health as well. The sound of snoring is made by a blockage in the airway when our throat muscles relaxes during bedtime or due to an abnormal throat tissue, causing our breathing to a halt for a second or more. This causes disruption to our sleeping rhythm and hikes up on our blood pressure.   Causes for a snore;- Aging. As we age our throat muscles tone down, causing narrowness, hence snoring. Gender. Men are more potent prospects fr snoring compared to women. Nasal and sinus probl...

Are you having enough sleep? Are you sleeping well? Are you sleeping at the right hours? I did wrote on sleep in my article, sleep like a baby . However, I'd like to mention this topic once more as I think not many of our eyes are open to why is it so important to get; 1)enough sleep, 2)sleep at the right time 3)benefits of sleeping. I know, understand and experience it myself, deprivation of sleeping. But, I hope to sleep better in the future, I sure you hope to do so too. The long hours of unachievable sleep will take a toll on our health. Have you ever wonder why we have day and night? The days are lighten up by the sun, as a signal to wake up and work, for activities to be done while the nights are dark, only dimmed light from the moon is available, a sign for us to slow down, go back home and the vital part, sleeping. Even as moms with newborn or older babies, I think it is important that we train our little children that night time is sleeping time, be discipline and te...

Welcome again. This is part 3 of the Tib An Nabawi review, please click here to check out part 1, thank you..> Fish( sama ') It is commonly known that fish is one of the best choice for consumption with less harmful substances compared to live-stock that we got on the land. But it is advisable to avoid big fishes as they may be tainted up to a certain degree due to the oil-spills in the ocean these days. It is said that the best choice of fishes would be the ones in moderate size, softest meat, lives in fresh water that flows, those which eat plants and the ones with scales, the finer the better as the scales filters out harmful substances that tries to go into the body of the fish. The meat from a seafish is said to be tougher and harder to digest, but may be beneficial for fertility purposes. If you are looking for salted fish, choose the most recently salted. And eating the fish part that is closest to the tail would be a better option than eating the upper part near th...

Presenting you, on how to live well and treat illnesses as it was done by The Prophet SAW (Pbuh). And after reading this terrific book , I've realized there's so much of knowledge that is still far from my grasps. But what I did comprehend from this book I'd like to share about it here for the benefit of all. I'll start with staying healthy . There are 10 things, as written in this book, that may bring harm to the body if left congested in the body, in the need for elimination, they are:- Irritated blood Urine Excrement Air Excessive sperm Vomit The need to sneeze Thirst Sleep Hunger These factors as mentioned above may cause disturbance in the body's homeostatic balance, thus the need to be thrown out of the body. Sometimes, they are not eliminated due several possibilities;- Excessive heat and dryness in the body that may delay elimination processes or impair normal bodily functions. Just look at the millennium menu, blame the fast food, trans fatty ...

I have nothing against smokers(or do I) but as for myself, I rather not smoke(I am a lady,and ladies don't smoke, I mean shouldn't smoke..or they'll surely look ridiculously horrible more than their other half when they do so..no offense..). What are the reasons smokers smoke anyway? Sometimes I just don't get it. Some say it reduces stress, some says it's calming..some say they're simply addicted. Which of the three sounds better? For me smoking is a waste and a massive wastage(does this word even exist?) it is for the health. Smoking is the worst abuse one could do to their bodies, but these days the incidence of smoking is higher than before and it starts younger. Kids watching adults smoke and think it's cool , they think they'll look older, they think they'll look like Superman, probably, and the next thing they try it out, introducing the activity among friends and along comes addiction. It's really hard to preach the youth to quit or ev...

Apples are said to eliminate body's excessive acids, effectively tones down a case of acidosis, rheumatism, jaundice,skin disorders, liver problems and gallbladder problems.Some more of apples(I think it doesn't matter what color it is as long as it's organic or wash thoroughly off pesticides) benefits: Heart Protector and Lowers Blood Cholesterol Apples keeps the cardiovascular system healthy and cuts down cholesterol level in the blood.Studies showed that upon regular apple consumption, the level of LDL(bad) cholesterol is reduced while HDL(good) cholesterol is raised. It's pectin content(gained mostly from the skin) is a soluble fiber that acts as a cholesterol absorber for elimination, however don't go in search for pectin supplements, mysteriously or maybe a synergist...
