X asked, "Can you explain?" Y said, "In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each other's decisions."

Image
New research by a University of London team suggests the risk of depression is increased when one eats a diet that is high in processed food. The British Journal of Psychiatry reports, comparing diet data of 3,500 middle-aged civil servants, average age 55-years, asked each participant to complete a questionnaire on their eating habits, including a self-report assessment for depression 5-years later. The study reveals eating plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually lowers the risk of depression. The study, the first to look at the link between UK diet and depression, split the participants into two groups, with each group on separate diets, those that ate a diet whole foods diet, including loads of fruit, vegetables and fish. The other group ate a mainly processed food diet, consisting of sweetened desserts, processed meat, fried food, refined grains and high-fat dairy products.

Tips to avoid Hair Danruff

HAIR DANDRUFF Healthy glowing hair is a crowning glory for a woman today. To keep it this way is not very simple given to-days living conditions. The heat and dust and also working for long periods in air- conditioned surroundings. The hair treatments like perms, tinting, and hot rollers also affect the healthy luster of your hair. The best way to atone for this would be to go "Totally Natural" from time to time. Just like plants hair too needs proper nourishment. You need to eat a proper protein rich diet. The scalp should be clean before oiling the hair. Do brush hair as a daily routine, with firm downward strokes. Wet hair should not be brushed, as hair is weak when it is wet, and breaks easily. Take care and the time to massage the scalp while oiling hair, as this will increase the blood circulation around the roots. Dandruff is the shedding of dead cells from the scalp. It sometimes leads to boils and pimples too. These are some ways in which we can get rid of dan...

Body Organs and Massage

Image
The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the heart is on the left foot. Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it connects to. It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here. This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks. God created our body so well that he thought of even this.

Check the labels of the sanitary pads or tampons that you are going to Buy the next time and see whether you spot any of the familiar signs stated In this email. No wonder so many women in the world suffer from cervical cancer and womb tumors. Have you heard that tampon makers include asbestos in tampons? Why would they do this? Because asbestos makes you bleed more, if you bleed more, you're going To need to use more. Why isn't this against the law since asbestos is so dangerous? Because the powers that be, in all their wisdom (not), did not consider tampons as being ingested and, therefore, did not consider them illegal or dangerous.

Vitamins 'could shorten lifespan'

Image
Research has produced mixed results Taking certain vitamin supplements may adversely affect people's lifespan, researchers have suggested. Millions worldwide use antioxidant supplements such as vitamins A and E, and beta-carotene. Looking at dozens of previous research studies, Copenhagen University researchers suggested these appeared to raise, not lower, the risk of death. A supplements industry expert said the Journal of the American Medical Association study was fatally flawed.

While vitamin supplements have been popular for decades, the precise benefits they offer - if any - remain uncertain, despite hundreds of research projects. ...

CANCEROUS FOODS / PRODUCTS

An forward I received recently. Don't know how true it is. INSTANT NOODLES Make sure you break for at least 3 days after one session of instant noodles before you eat your next packet! Please read the info shared to me by a doctor. My family stopped eating instant noodles more than 5 years ago after hearing about the wax coating the noodles - the wax is not just in the Styrofoam containers but it coats the noodles. This is why the instant noodles do not stick to each other when cooking. If one were to examine the ordinary Chinese yellow noodles in the market, one will notice that, in their uncooked state the noodles are oily. This layer of oil prevents the noodles from sticking together. Wanton noodles in their uncooked state have been dusted with flour to prevent them sticking together. When the hawker cooks the noodles, notice he cooks them in hot water and then rinses them in cold water before cooking them in hot water again. This process is repeated several times before the noo...
