      Students gets scared going into a class, when they didn’t memorize what the teached told them to memorize or study when there will be a scheduled quiz. And yes, they are super scared when the teacher gives a surprise test. ha ha ha

    When shopping for a new pair of pants or a t-shirt, you probably don’t wonder about the fabrics used to make them. Well, it’s probably time to do so because your clothes and what’s in them- could have a negat […]

    • One problem arising out of the use of organic clothing involves in their maintenance. They need regular and prompt washing and proper ironing. Otherwise, they look very shabby. Even silk also can be worn at the most for a day or two but not more than that.
      But, the non-organic clothing needs less attention as far as their maintenance is concerned.
      The organing clothing like linen, silk, cotton, Handloom etc., no doubt richly contribute to the environmental protection. They also protect the body from excess heat and excess cold.

    • ABSOLUTELY YO HAVE THE POINT THERE SIR. I ALSO ADD THAT WHEN IT COMES TO PRACTICALITY, THE NON-ORGANIC CLOTHING IS MORE CHEAPER AND AFFORDABLE COMPARED TO THE ORGANIC CLOTHINGS.
      HOWEVER, IF ONE DOESN’T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH FINANCIAL, IT IS BETTER THAN GOOD TO GO WITH ORGANIC CLOTHES.

    • Regardless of whether one is concerned or not about this planet and its environment, there are countless benefits to wearing organic clothing. It’s likely the majority of individuals who wear organic clothing, aren’t even aware of it. The one’s who do wear sustainable clothing, are aware, and are consciously making the effort to better the planet with their actions. Hopefully by the end of this article you’ll be inspired to consciously choose your outfit material, and want to rework your entire wardrobe with organic clothing.

      Throughout history, companies continually discover innovative ways of making clothing out of new materials and fabrics. With Eco-Fashion coming into mainstream, designers have become more original and are coming out with superb ideas and cool designs made out of organic clothing. The apparel industry has been showcasing a plethora of fashionable garments that the wearer is excited to try.

    • When it comes too organic clothing, the most popular materials include cotton, hemp, soy, bamboo, silk, and wool. As you might already know, cotton is the much-preferred fabric throughout the world, and is versatile in the manufacturing of different types of clothes. However, conventional cotton farming is hazardous, as it needs nearly 10% of the world’s pesticide supply and about 25% of insecticide reserves. That being said, cotton farmers must now adhere to strict guidelines prohibiting pesticides and chemical fertilizers. With this process, organic cotton offers one of the most soft, breathable and luxurious clothing to the wearer’s skin, especially for infants.

      Hemp, another material used in the manufacture of quality organic garments, requires no herbicides for its cultivation as it has natural resistance to pests, fungus and insects. A pound of hemp fiber uses a fraction of the water needed to grow a pound of cotton, which is naturally resistant to most pests and diseases. When compared to cotton, hemp can offer 8 times the tensile strength and 4 times the durability.

    • In India, everything was organic in the beginning. But, the technology based Agriculture introduced in India, has totally spoiled not only the health of the people but also their minds. ICAR has to be blamed for continuously giving a wide publicity to the artificial and chemical fertilizers, pesticides blown methods etc., which has virtually spoiled the Agriculture in India. Added to this the denial of minimum support price to the farmers was always there in his grievances. It was never attended to with sincerity by any Governments.
      Even now, the Governments are not realizing the importance of the organic nature of products. They are openly delivering the Diary milk and other products though knowing pretty well it is all made of an artificial milk powder. Still, they are following mixing of powder milk liberally to the regular quantity, which in no way will improve the health of the public. It is adding only to the quantity but not the quality of the milk. They are showing this in their budget estimates as the development made by spending crores of rupees annually. Shouldn’t we laugh at these policy makers?

      • THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR INSIGHTS REGARDING THIS MATTER. YES BECAUSE OF FAST UPGRADING OF TECHNOLOGIES USED IN FARMING, ORGANIC GARDENING IS REALLY AFFECTED. FARMERS ARE ONLY CONCERNED WITH HOW MUCH THEY PRODUCED AND NOT HOW HEALTHY THEIR PRODUCTS ARE. THAT IS THE SAME AS WITH THE GOVERNMENT, THEY ONLY THINK OF THE INCOME THAT THEY MIGHT GET.

    • A great wealth of information. Our food in the States tends to have too much chemicals. Organic is the way to go. It is healthy and yes, it helps avoid sicknesses. Sometimes, people complain that organic food is expensive but my response to that is that there is no price for health. Sometimes, it pays to protect your health,avoid sicknesses and a mountain of medical bills. A small investment indeed.

    • In Africa our people were using crop rotation system of farming in the olden days before the introduction of fertilizers. in those days our people know how to manage their farm and get bamper harvest and healthy foods stocks. Since the introduction of Fertilizer and other chemicalized form of farming, the farms are no more producing as it was in the olden days.
      i don’t believe in organic farming as it is another way of exploiting our farmers for the benefit of a few as fertilizers did. Now we are been told Fertilizers are not good for the environment, did they not know this when they introduce fertilizers into our farming systems. because they have now gotten the profit they want from fertilizers, they are now introducing organic method and are saying fertilizers are not good. all chemicalize foods are not good if not natural.

    • I AGREE WITH YOU SIR CALEB, THE MORE HEALTHIER WE ARE, THE LESS MEDICAL BILLS WE HAVE.
      IF WE MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE, WE CAN AVOID BACK AND THROUGH TO THE HOSPITAL.
      AS YOU SAID, IT IS FAR BETTER TO PAY EXPENSIVE ORGANIC FOODS BECAUSE ITS FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR BODY.

    • I hope we can also have organic farms here in our place. Although in Tagaytay they have lots of organic farms.

      And yesterday at Salamat Dok, Sonia’s farm in Tagaytay demonstrated how to make a salad made of edible flowers like a variety of edible rose and the hyacinth or gumamela.

      I was amazed that we have edible rose petals in Tagaytay. I wonder how they taste as a salad. I love vegetable salad.

    • There are organic farms here in Benguet, actually. Benguet State University is implementing organic farming and hopefully, they will maintain it.

      However, nonorganic farming is very common. Farmers here in our place usually use pesticides and chemicals that are not organic.

      Although the vegetable products have good qualities that are good for exports but are not safe for our health unless one will wash it properly before cooking.

      One for us to remove the chemicals or pesticides from the vegetables is to soak it with lukewarm water with salt.

      According to the Centre for Science and The Environment, washing vegetables and even fruits with 2% of salt water will remove most of the contact pesticide residues normally found on the
      surface of fruits and vegetables.

    • Great article. These drinks looks what the doctor ordered. It looks tasty. Coconut has been one of my favorites. I might try it especially since it is good for the muscles. Fruits and vegetables have hidden curative powers that can benefit the body. I would rather drink this than a regular milkshake at a fast food store. I am going to try to post this in my Facebook account to share with others. Thank you for writing a great article.

    • Thank you for the complement. Anyways, sir, you are right about how beneficial fruits and vegetables are to our body.

      Vegetables and fruits are an important part of a healthy diet, and variety is as important as quantity.

      Regarding coconuts and coconut milk have traditionally gotten a bad rap due to its high saturated fat levels. However, island populations around the world have used the fruit’s meat juice, milk and oil in everything from cooking to disease prevention. Furthermore, the unique fatty acids in coconut milk may aid weight loss, improve immune function, reduce heart disease risk and improve skin and hair health.
      Weight Loss

      This research has revealed that not eating enough fat can actually make you fat. According to Bruce Fife, N.D. in his article “The Fat that Can Make You Thin,” people who include more healthy fats in their diet, such as the medium-chain triglycerides in coconut milk, eat less than those who don’t get enough fat. While all fats help the body feel full and satiate the brain receptors that control appetite, the fat in coconut milk may increase metabolism and perhaps increase weight loss on a reduced-calorie diet.

      Immune System Health

      Coconut milk contains lauric acid, antimicrobial lipids and capric acid, which have antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. The body converts lauric acid into monolaurin, which may fight the viruses and bacteria that cause herpes, influenza and even HIV. According to a study led by Dr. Gilda Sapphire Erguiza, a pediatric pulmonologist at the Philippine Children’s Medical Center in Quezon City, children with pneumonia who were treated with antibiotics and coconut oil benefited more than those taking the antibiotic alone.

      Heart Disease

      The medium-chain saturated fatty acids in coconut milk may also improve heart health. A study in “Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition” showed that Filipino women who ate more coconut oil had healthier blood lipid profiles, a major determinant of heart disease. The medium-chain fatty acids in coconut milk may also kill the three major types of atherogenic organisms — bacteria that cause plaque formation in the arteries — that may lead to heart disease.
      Healthy Skin and Hair

      Coconut milk is highly nutritious when ingested, and these nutrients may help fortify and condition skin and hair as well. The fatty acids in coconut milk are a natural antiseptic and may help treat dandruff, skin infections, wounds and dry, itchy skin. Furthermore, the high fatty acid content in coconut milk serves as a natural moisturizer for healthy skin and may help repair wrinkles and sagging in aging skin.

    • i like coconut milk but for sesert i use normal milk,, treat without normal milk is not as tasty as with coconut milk, i like coconut milk only with juices and with cooking at times, but not all the time, thaks for the post, its amaiznig and did nto knwo that its nutritious as i do know, now, moisturizes that are from coconut milk do feels better, but the cream i tried and bought because of the coconut milk in it was smelling nice, do make skin soft but that is it, does not affect wrinkles at all, not even soften it, i guess we have to accept that wrinkles are there and are not disappearing no matter what we do to it, life is moving forwar not back and we are

    • Noting down in the classroom and again rewriting with all decorations and necessary techniques using circles in place of a dot, underlying the important information may be useful to get it back into your memory during an examination may be a good idea.But it works in lower classes only. Once you catch up the steps one by one in the ladder of education system it becomes a herculean task which needs covering various subjects.

      • You’re wrong. It works in Law School, which is pretty much at the very top of the hill when it comes to hard subjects, a lot of information, and needing to think. It works.

    • All the techniques used in school studies help to keep in mind all that have been learnt in the process of teaching.The use of personal diction is not ruled out.At times the use of symbols and unique writings help only the student.

    • Note-taking also works well for me. And even when I’m done with school, I still do a lot of note-taking for research and article writing. Handwriting and copying important lines helps reinforce my understanding of the text.

    • I do that when I was in college. I rewrite all that I have taken notes in the classes I attended.

      Then after rewriting , I would read them aloud. That way, I am already at least putting them in my mind.

      Like you said, I put highlights in those I think are important. My highlights are of different colors. Color coding as it is said.

      Pink would be the most important items and should be memorized.
      Green would be those that need not be memorized but should be understood on how they are like that.

      I also take time to relax after I have reviewed what I have written. I listen to music after that, or watch a nice show or eat.

    • I need not to take exam anymore for the time being and the past ten years , I only busy with napkin and breastfeeding, haha!

      Anyway, I love and miss those study time when I was a student, reading and studying is the most enjoyable task in my life.

      I might go back to school for further study in the future. But, e-learning is more common nowadays!

      • Even if it is elearning you want your Beat Book, you want to sit outside on the beach or in the garden, and relax and learn.

    • The best way for me to study was to re-write everything i wrote in class. The more i wrote, the more i memerized. I would sometimes just read the material various times to memerize but it was easier to memerize when i would write it down.

      Your method is also a good way to. If you have a specific way to write things down that will help you learn then it becomes easier to study also.

      When i was still in school i didn’t study that hard because i was a fast learner and i would just re-write my notes for coleagues and that would be my study session.

    • Your write up is well understood.I get worried over people who use other people’s work without acknowledging them.However,giving honour to whom it is due is discipline and good knowledge.

      • When you quote someone, and give attribution, it is not plagiarism. Saying; “This Book was written by…” is surely not you taking credit so is totally legal.

    • Very well written my friend.

      I must say, I am not into writing posts that have facts because that indeed needs some facts that are easy to read on the internet. Though I know copying them would be plagiarizing. I might get some facts but give credit to where I get it and that’s not plagiarizing.

      As to pictures, I suppose those freely displayed on google and credit google for it are free for use pictures?

      Thank you for clearly explaining about these things.

      • It is perfectly legal to use facts found anywhere as long as you admit it. If I am quoting CNN or a reporter, or a definition, I give the attribution which immediately sidesteps the issue.
