Here the traditional ways of brushing one’s teeth is by the soft stems of a guava tree as for me I never experienced using them because my parents always buys me a new toothbrush when I need to replace my old ones they never encourage me to use the traditional ways of brushing buy they often tell me tales of their childhood and some practices that is fading away.

Thank you for posting this wonderful health post. I noticed since I reached my 50’s reading of anything about health is what attracts me most even in writing sites.

Can you please tell how many hours or minutes of exposure to the sunlight each day is needed so we can get enough of vitamin D?

I am taking up calcium supplement and it has Vitamin D, magnezium and zinc.

Though I know that exposure to sunlight each day can very much help us get the needed vitamin D. The question is how many minutes a day.

I think for a crew member to bring an empty box and fill it with foods from a buffet table is not good to look at. If the buffet table is meant for paying customers, then their taking those take aways would mean “no income” from them, thus diminish the what should be income of those buffet foods.

I think it is okay to have take away foods or we call it take out, if it is additionally paid.

i think that, that buffet is somewhat like an “eat-all-you-can” type in which the customers need to consume as much as they want within the four walls of the restaurant. Asking a Take-Away or To-Go meals means that you are not abiding by their rules. But I think fast-food chains will always have To-Go meals on any occasion.

This is superb. I cannot expect you to have this kind of recipe good for the body. At least it is very much told here about what to get out from these many mixtures of the food that are all best for human body. We have to help those who do not have the knowledge about foods and vegetables that are best for the body proven and tested by scientists and expert nutritionists so all people in the plane will not be sick of deadly diseases. Our body needs anti-oxidants and more.

Thanks for this interesting post about Rudraksha seeds. I have my Santosha beads and don’t know if the black ones on it are Rudraksha seeds. I wish they were. I will ask my friend who made the 108 Santosha beads if she included rudraksha seeds in it.

I must agree coconut is so useful. All those that you enumerated are indeed the uses of coconuts from its fruits to its leaves.
The twig minus the leaves can be made into hard broom. The leaves too can serve as a container in cooking a favorite food of the Filipinos called “suman” made of glutinous rice.
Its young trunk can be made into a dish we call “ubod”, can be cooked in coconut milk or sauteed with some minced pork and other condiments, wrapped in a spring roll, and be either fried or eaten fresh.
Its juice can be fermented and made into wine and also vinegar.
The young flesh of the coconut can be made into a salad with fruit cocktail, all purpose cream and condensed milk. It’s a delicious dessert.
The coconut is I think the most versatile vegetable and fruit at the same time.

All these rulers are metally disturbed. A person with a healthy mind cannot do these atrocities and enjoy seeing people and animals die in his every own eyes and in his own hands.

I hope no ruler will emerge like them ever again, though I know if there will be one the countries will all unite to do something to stop such atrocities.

There are way more than 5 cruel rulers. But the 5 you named are historical figures we should never forget. I am not as optimistic as Dina (rebelwoman06). I believe there are as many ruthless leaders in this day and time, as there have been in history. Maybe they don’t get a lot of media coverage and have not yet been written about in history books, but they’re out there.

It is also not advisable to reheat a fried food in the oven because it will just explode inside its container.
Another is never reheat food wrapped in an aluminum foil or put a left-over in a metal plate to heat it.
Slightly open the lid in one corner of the microwaveable container so the food will not explode and will be reheated well.

Hi there thanks for this article. My wife is prone to allergy and we have dogs that are why she sneezes a lot I mean almost every day. I didn’t know that vitamin C can prevent allergy. Thanks again for the information. Speaking of vitamin C, I once read an article. The article said that chili or red pepper have more vitamin C than Orange.

hello there,. When I read this article it gives me more Idea and more option to prevent allergy aside from what i practiced before.I have an allergy in eating sea foods specially on Shrimp. I can’t imagine how’s my life without eating my favorite sea food. But I found out that chocolate can help and preventing me from having allergy, and i do agree with tea it also help me to ease the pain.

So, that’s why I rarely get allergies even when growing up. That’s because I am fond of eating citrus fruits and pineapple, and apples too as well as guavas which are foods laden with Vitamin C.

And now that I am older, I take 1000 mg of ascorbic acid, one 500 mg tablet after breakfast and one after lunch. I make sure I take a lot of C’s even if I am so fond of eating citrus fruits, because not only can Vitamin C shoo away allergy, but it helps boost the immune system.

So far, for the past two years, I haven gotten sick with coughs and colds. I am sure because my body is laden with Vitamin C.

Thanks for sharing this, I have skin allergies and itchiness too. The doctor described me some vitamin C and some multi- vitamins. He told, fresh oranges and fruits are the good source of Vitamin C instead of taking pills. And, other than some creams, nothing can be done, and it will recur if nothing changed in our body system.

So, fresh fruit is a must in my daily diet and my family food serving per day.

And, exercise and increase the metabolism of body can help increasing the circulation and body detox mechanism.

In fact, level of immunisation is the key for preventing the allergies, thus we must try very way to increase the level of immunisation of our body.

I still have skin allergies and alcohol allergies after years, I believe this due to the detox capacity of the liver. If liver can help to detox the alcohol, it won’t stay in the body and caused the allergies.

And, sleep early can help in boosting the level immunisation of our body too.

I can’t remember when was the time I suffered an allergy. I think I only experienced it once and that was when I was in my early age. Maybe 7 or 8, I can’t really remember.

My mother always made sure that our food is nutritious that is why I never suffer from that kind of disease.

But I appreciate your writing about allergy, it will be a good help whenever that allergy attacks. We’ll never know.

I am always amazed by the beautiful things that are found in caves all around the world. But I have a phobia about going into them. I settle for watching TV programs and looking at photographs. To think that scientists say that caves were man’s first dwelling places and homes. I am glad I was born in the 20th century. 🙂

For me , it’s actually the opposite effect when I am stressed. I could hardly eat and have no appetite at all when I am stressed or depressed.

Though, even if that is so, stress is a silent killer of a person. Stress can lead to disturbance of the mind eventually, specially if the side effect is not being able to sleep and eat.

Sad to say, that in some jobs, stress is prevalent, especially when one has a slave driver for a boss.

Thus, when one has a boss that is a monster, the person should scout for another job in which stress will be manageable.

Furthermore, in offices that requires you to be in front of computers, I think, wiggling the body and the legs while seated can help a person to have some exercises while working. Standing up and walking going to the comfort room should be done in a brisk manner, because the briskness of the movement can be an exercise by itself.
