    peachpurple wrote a new post, 10 Tips to Cure Snoring Problems 8 years ago

    Snoring is not a small matter to be laugh at, making jokes
     about it would hurt the snorer feelings and pride.
     
    Calling […]

    • Those are quite a number of things or tips to follow so that you avoid snoring. I don’t know how effective they ar3, because I think when you ar3 tired it’s very easy for you to snore. Whether you ha e the above things or not it’s inevitable Anyway the only thing that I have tried is to stop sleeping in your back that will help. Putting your back suspended could cause more snoring instead of stopping it. The next time I hear anyone close to me snoring I will try your methods and see how it all goes.

    • What you have mentioned here really helps but I think there is now a machine or gadget to use that is so effective it does really help. Snoring, I have also experienced this, twice in my life that I encountered two people (in different venue) who have really a very loud snoring. The exaggeration of snoring like a horn of ship, maybe its not. Its really so loud that you can hear it even 10 meters away. I cannot sleep at those occasions. Snoring problem was never really a joke to those people concerned.

    • An interesting and informative to get rid of snoring habit. Problem to health which can arise due to snoring are also clearly mentioned. This is generally found among those people who sleep with their mouth open or have some problem related to ENT. It affects the overall health and well being of the individual. It also disturbs the sleeping pattern which is required for the individual to remain healthy and it also disturbs the sleeping of your partner or others who may be sleeping with you. Thus spoiling their health too.

      Now a days solutions are available to this problem- sleep apnea. The sooner people having problem to snoring visit a doctor the better it is for their health as their being healthy is crucial to them and also for their family too. Appreciate this informative article.

    • Thanks for the info. Always looking for healthy ways to eat.

    • That is great- getting information for balanced eating is very useful and always welcome.

    • Very informative your post. I think our body needs the body nutrients but the problem is we just don’t know how to do it and sometimes we just ignored it. With this informative post, this really help to us.

    • Those are some good tips to follow. I always try to incoperate my daily good with a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins etc. I k is how healthy eating is good for your body, so I try to keep up with routine. Though sometimes it’s hard especially when you have people in the house who will want to eat something totally different from what you are used to it what you want to cook. Like there are people who will eat the same good every single day and when you try to change the diet that would lament and say that good will not satisfy them or they don’t like that type of food. How can you convince them that it is good for them. And these are the same kinds of people who don’t take juices or tea that has milk neither are they keen on taking water after meals. Honestly I don’t know how some people survive without taking water the whole day it buffles me.

    • Yes, vegetables are full of vitamins not minerals. Human body makes just scan vitamins when we take vegetables as vitamins A B C D E ….these vitamins are most important for human body if our body is lack of vitamins our great and small intestines will not work properly and we will have a lot of problem.

      The health benefits of vitamins include their ability to prevent and treat various diseases including heart problems, high cholesterol levels, eye disorders, and skin disorders. Most vitamins also facilitate many of the body’s mechanisms and perform functions which are not performed by any other nutrients.

      Vitamins can be consumed in a variety of ways. Most common vitamins are acquired through the foods we eat, but depending on your cultural or cuisine traditions, it is possible to be low in some natural vitamin intake. Therefore, the nutrition industry has made supplements available that can boost the vitamin content in your body.

      A multivitamin is often considered one of the best options for improving the overall balance of your body, particularly if you have a job or a lifestyle that frequently causes you to miss meals, eat at strange times, or eat the same food very often.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Using Leftovers so that Food is Not Wasted 8 years ago

     

     I read somewhere where the user claimed that in their household they never eat food that is left over but it is fed to the dustbins not even to the poor or to animals. 

    I think wasting food is a cr […]

    • I love leftovers. I don’t do this any more because there are usually no leftovers at my house. But when I was a kid, my late mother used to like smother her meats in gravy. Smothered chicken. Smothered pork chops. Etc. There was never any meat left but sometimes there was leftover gravy. I would save it and the next day for lunch, I would warm up the gravy and pour it over 2 slices of bread. It was sooo good! It was just bread and gravy but I loved it! 🙂

      • It is meaningless when food is thrown away. Apart from money spent just look at the labour that has gone into preparing it. The leftover curry when condensed tastes delicious.

        • Once saw a documentary on television showing how much food Americans were throwing away. Mind you! They hadn’t even cooked the food! They were throwing away food that was in their freezer that they bought to eat, but never got around to eating it! Can you believe it? That would bother my conscience. 🙁

          • I have seen the pantries of many there. They do not even know what they have in there and keep buying more stuff. My first visit to a restaurant in New York shocked me when I saw garbage bins packed to capacity

    • I agree… I never throw away food. I find someway to eat everything I cook.

      • I do the same theresa rice I freeze or otherwise I have 2 dogs I put scraps into the pot and cook it up for my dogs they love it gravy curry etc put on bread next day tastes delicious

        • I have always saved food and eaten it a few days later after steaming. It tastes as fresh and it does not bore me either.

      • People think throwing away food is a status symbol

    • First of all those people who say that cannot eat left overs are just pretenders. What is so wrong with eating left over good that has only been refrigerated for only one or two days? It is not spoilt neither does it small so why reject it? Anyway we all he e out reasons but I don’t agree with people of that nature. I personally feel so bad when I see people throw away food when there are people out there who are scavenging in the dustbins like dogs to find something to eat. Instead of throwing that good why not store it well in a container and give it to someone who is begging on Thu street? To them it wouldn’t want to know if it was cooked yesterday or the day before all that want is something to munch on.to contribute on the part of cooking just enough could be tricky sometimes, why not add just a little more so that if may a visitor comes calling in without notice that can eat we all know about those kinds of visitors who just decide to come over your place because they were in the neighbourhood. So at least keep a little more for such things when they come up. I tried to do that one time in my house then my sister passed by and she happened to be hungry when she asked for good i told her that we had just had lunch and her next answer was why do you cook little good don’t you have good in this house? Then I told her no that’s not the issue I just don’t want left overs and she said you chasing away visitors because you don’t want to cook. I felt so bad and ever since whenever I cook there is always an extra plate just in case hahaha.

      • Your sister is so right.
        We always have food just in case someone turns up without notice there is something to feed them.

    • We never feed leftovers to our pets. They have their own different food. All leftovers are stacked up and frozen to be eaten later on may be even after few days.

I hope it won;t make me fat as i am maintaining my weight 55 kilos.I have to discipline my appetite or just do series of dancing to break the calories ,lol.Eating does a lot of fun and the body does not react and refuse hehehe.

    A perfect main course dish for my family, who loves tofu and minced meat very much .

    • cely replied 8 years ago

      I salute you peach you are a very hard working lady in terms of cooking.I hope your kids are not over weight hehehe kidding aside. I love tofu. I can cook this.I bought a recipe in the mall that contains only different recipes of tofu, so I learned to cook the recipe of my preference.I am so thankful that I have just dined or else I will be so hungry hehehehe.Good work @peach purple.You have many posts approved this time.

    • Your husband is correct, no waste on food. Even when I eat at restaurant, I’m always the last one to finish because I sometimes eat left overs in the bowl. Its been my habit because there are so many people not eating in a day and here we are just wasting these leftover food. I salute you for making some twists food in your fridge.

    • I think your recipe is a bit different for me because I am male and I tried to make the dish you mention in the article but could not make properly and got disappointment standing in the kitchen. Now I read in the nook and find this recipe that is very easy for all. as

      1: What you will need. Ingredients: You’ll need water, 3 cups of dry soy beans and 2 TBSP of Epsom Salt. …
      Step 2: Soak and Blend. …
      Step 3: Stir and Simmer. …
      Step 4: Strain Out Milk. …
      Step 5: Coagulate. …
      Step 6: Add to Mold. …
      Step 7: Finished.

      Tofu is great in so many recipes and easy to make. Along the way you will also make soy milk and have some okara left over. Okara is basically just bean pulp but it is great in breads, burgers, or cookies.

      Ingredients:
      You’ll need water, 3 cups of dry soy beans and 2 TBSP of Epsom Salt. As an alternative to the Epsom Salt, you may use 75ml of lemon juice. Most of the nicer grocery stores will have the soy beans and you can find Epsom Salt at the pharmacy.

      Equipment:
      Food processor or blender, 2 large pots, 1 colander, 1 strainer, and a mesh bag. Instead of the mesh bag you could also use a few layers of cheesecloth.

    • Egg tofu, as its name suggests, is made a type of savory tofu flavored with egg. It is usually (if not always) available in the tube form.

      As with all tofu, egg tofu is high in calcium, protein and iron, while being low in calories at the same. It helps guards against colon cancer and heart diseases. It is also known to promote energy production and aid in weight loss.

    Sometimes, when I am facing stressed out, I couldn’t make myself cheerful in-front o […]

    • Our child is the joy of our home but of course, sometimes, they cause stress because they might be annoying because they are just too repetitive and stubborn. Or maybe they break some porcelain or appliances in the house.

      Your tip to handle stress is so important to us, I think this really helps to us.

    • The main cause of stress is that when someone’s be uncertain about the problem he or she facing in such condition uncertainty terror spreads in human soul and we call in stress in modern language.

      When someone makes a corner in his or her mind the preaction result of any action causes stress in human soul. Actually it is created in human soul and its appearance becomes on human mind screen and its mirror becomes human face.

      If you have stress in such condition think what is your mistake in this matter that causes stress because there is no action that has its reaction. The same formula is applied in case of stress. You do something wrong in any shape and its reaction appears in semblance of stress prevailing on human face.

    • At present this is the best blog that I can relate to.

      I’m really short tempered and handling a naughty kid is no more than a big challenge for me. I usually cannot handle work pressure be it household or professional.

      The situation further worsens when you have a kid eating up your head the whole day long.

      But i shall follow your advice from now on and really hope the it will help me to make my life better.

    • Sorting out is done eventually but it can be made easy if only we keep everything in order.

    • Opps, only those aged 40 years up can think of dying and preparing everything before dying. Though your article is helpful but we should not think too much of these. We are here to enjoy life and not making ourself stress with this thinking. Relax. We think too much.

    • We have always been adviced that if your married you should never go to sleep when your angry, or leave the house when angry at your spouse. Like you ha e said it has never been easy for spouses to always be in good terms but it always helps to say sorry it keeps anger away. It would be very sad to actually leave the house when your in bad terms with your spouse for you never know what would happen to them, that’s th3 most unforgiving thing anyone would have to go through and it causes a lot of unrest in one’s heart so I totaly after with the above statements makes a lot of sense.

    • cely replied 8 years ago

      There are so many haters in the world. We cannot describe their attitude, We cannot also find reason why they hate. This is normal everywhere in business, in politics even in the academe. We cannot please everyone.Others hate because of jealousy and some personal views. It should be better for the person/ persons to analyze whether it is justifiable to hate. It should also be nice if the haters evaluate themselves if perfect or not.This time in the country where I live, the haters of our new president are the media people.They keep on twisting the truth, thus putting the nation to danger. I also hate haters. They have to investigate themselves about their true image.

    • Yes, there are countless haters on earth and countless lovers on earth but we all must keep in ind that hate springs from evil past and evil early environment and it is a fact that haters become greedy and jealous by birth.

      If you can just stop loving her then you never really loved her at all. Love doesn’t work that way. If you ever truly love someone, then it never goes away. It can become something else. There are all different sorts of love. It can even become hate- a thin line and all that- and, really, hate is just another kind of caring.

      Even if you hate me, Zero…I will tame that beast in you…as many times as necessary. If you haven’t completely lost your sanity…I won’t let you die. Hate vampires, hate me…at least that means you haven’t given up!” Yuki said to Zero. “How can I hate you?

      You should never trust a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Because the only thing the wolf will ever want to do is break you.
