Eating Fruits

EATING FRUIT...


It's long but very informative

?

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.

?

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

?

If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

?

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

?

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....

?

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining - every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet etc - actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

?

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

?

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

?

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

?

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive...

I came across this email write-up and decided to share it over here so that everyone can realise of THE POWER OF CONFIDENCE in our life.

Confidence

The business executive was deep in debt and could see no wayout. Creditors were closing in on him.Suppliers were demanding payment.He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything couldsave his company from bankruptcy.Suddenly an old man appeared before him.'I can see that something is troubling you,' he said.

After listening to the executive's woes, the old man said, 'I believe I can help you.'He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into hishand saying, 'Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year fromtoday, and you can pay me back at that time.' Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed byJohn D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world! 'I can erase my money worries in an instant!' he realized. But instead, the executive decided to put the uncashed check in hissafe. Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to workout a way to save his business, he thought. With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and extended terms of payment. He closed several big sales.Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the uncashed check.At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check and share his successstory, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.'I'm so glad I caught him!' she cried. 'I hope he hasn't beenbothering you. He's always escaping from the rest home and telling people he's John D. Rockefeller.'And she led the old man away by the arm.

The astonished executive just stood there, stunned.All year long he'd been wheeling and dealing, buying and selling,convinced he had half a million dollars behind him. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn't the money, real or imagined, that had turnedhis life around.It was his newfound self-confidence that gave him the power toachieve anything he went after.

Credit Card - Please Beware.

Dear reader, I would like to share the below articles with all you who I believe would have at least one credit card. Please take a precaution when using credit card to prevent fraud.



SCENE 1.

This is a new one. People sure stay busy trying to cheat us, don't they? A friend went to the local gym and placed his belongings in the locker. After the workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open, and thought to himself, 'Funny, I thought I locked the locker. Hmm, 'He dressed and just flipped the wallet to make sure all was in order. Everything looked okay - all cards were in place. A few weeks later his credit card bill came - a whooping bill of $14,000! He called the credit card company and started yelling at them, saying that he did not make the transactions. Customer care personnel verified that there was no Mistake in the system and asked if his card had been stolen. 'No,' he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled out the credit card, and yep - you guessed it - a switch had been made. An expired similar credit card from the same bank was in the wallet.The thief broke into his locker at the gym and switched cards. Verdict: The credit card issuer said since he did not report the card missing earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them. How much did he have to pay for items he did not buy? $9,000! Why were there no calls made to verify the amount swiped? Small amounts rarely trigger a 'warning bell' with some credit card companies. It just so happens that all the small amounts added up to big one!



SCENE 2.

A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card. The bill for the meal came, he signed it,and the waitress folded the receipt and passed the credit card along. Usually, he would just take it and place it in his wallet or pocket. Funny enough, though, he actually took a look at the card and, lo and behold, it was the expired card of another person. He called the waitress and she looked perplexed. She took it back, apologized, and hurried back to the counter under the watchful eye of the man. All the waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong expired card to the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately looked down and took out the real card. No exchange of words --- nothing! She took it and came back to the man with an apology. Verdict:Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours. Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or the card is taken away for even a short period of time. Many people just take back the credit card without even looking at it, 'assuming' that it has to be theirs. FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DEVELOP THE HABIT OF CHECKING YOUR CREDIT CARD EACH TIME IT IS RETURNED TO YOU AFTER A TRANSACTION!



SCENE 3:

Yesterday I went into a pizza restaurant to pick up an order that I had called in. I paid by using my Visa Check Card which, of course, is linked directly to my checking account. The young man behind the counter took my card, swiped it, then laid it on the counter as he waited for the approval, which is pretty standard procedure. While he waited, he picked up his cell phone and started dialing. I noticed the phone because it is the same model I have, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Then I heard a click that sounded like my phone sounds when I take a picture. He then gave me back my card but kept the phone in his hand as if he was still pressing buttons. Meanwhile, I'm thinking: I wonder what he is taking a picture of, oblivious to what was really going on. It then dawned on me: the only thing there was my credit card, so now I'm paying close attention to what he i s doing. He set his phone on the counter, leaving it open. About five seconds later, I heard the chime that tells you that the picture has been saved.Now I'm standing there struggling with the fact that this boy just took a picture of my credit card. Yes, he played it off well, because had we not had the same kind of phone, I probably would never have known what happened. Needless to say, I immediately canceled that card as I was walking out of the pizza parlor. All I am saying is, be aware of your surroundings at all times.Whenever you are using your credit card take caution and don't be careless. Notice who is standing near you and what they are doing when you use your card. Be aware of phones, because many have a camera phone these days. When you are in a restaurant and the waiter/waitress brings your card and receipt for you to sign, make sure you scratch the number off.Some restaurants are using only the last four digits, but a lot of them are still putting the whole thing on there. I have already been a victim of credit card fraud and, believe me, it is not fun. The truth is that they can get you even when you are careful, but don't make it easy for them.

Melamine: Unilevel, Dutch Lady & Nestle Products In Malaysia Are SAFE.

Thanks God. At least as a parent, we are relieved of the announcement by the milk producer companies and Malaysia government that they did not use ingredients from China nor import milk from China.

I have a 5-months old baby who is consuming Nestle NAN 1 milk powder. Last few days, I was in dilemma whether to let my baby continue to consume the milk or not, after hearing short news from TV that one of Nestle's product in Hong Kong had been found containing Melamine.

I can't stop giving milk to my baby as this is her main source of food right now. Replacing to other brand of milk powder also not a good idea. No one knows whether they are free of melamine or not.

Feel free to leave your comment or share your feeling being in such situation. Below is an article extracted from The Star newpaper dated September 23, 2008, which give more update and assurance for us in Malaysia.

PETALING JAYA: Major supermarket chains are in the midst of checking their inventories to remove products which may contain milk ingredients from China.

However, they have not received any instruction from the Health Ministry regarding the widened ban on confectionery with milk, chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate which contain milk from China.

Tesco’s corporate and legal affairs director Azlam Shah Alias said: “Our technical team is checking our inventory now. If a product is found to have any of the banned ingredient, we will take it off the shelves.”

Carrefour will also adhere to directives sent by the ministry, said its public relations director Raf Adiba Radzi.

“But we have yet to receive one from the ministry,” she said, adding that the ministry had given general directives like this in the past but “not necessarily for milk products”.

On Friday, Singapore’s Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) advised consumers to avoid buying “White Rabbit Creamy Candy”, “Yili Brand Fruit Bar Yogurt” flavoured ice confectionery and “Dutch Lady” strawberry-flavoured milk after they were found to contain melamine.
Retailers and importers were also ordered to not sell milk, ice-cream, yoghurt, confections like chocolates, biscuits and sweets containing milk from China.

Unilever (Malaysia) Holdings, Dutch Lady and Nestle have all released statements saying that their products in Malaysia used milk or whey powder from the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand and the United States.

Local firm Hai-O was surprised that the “Monmilk” brand under Mengniu would also be banned, adding that it had just signed a distribution deal with the Chinese firm.

“We are very surprised. Mengniu is supposed to be one of the top firms in China, with stringent quality controls,” said a Hai-O representative.

Nestle Confident Its Chinese Products Are Safe

GENEVA (AFP) - - Swiss food giant Nestle on Sunday said it was "confident" that its products in China were safe, after media reports suggested that its products were laced with a chemical that killed four babies in China.

"Following press reports in Hong Kong earlier today claiming that traces of melamine had been found in a Nestle growing up milk, Nestle is confident that none of its products in China is made from milk adulterated with melamine," said the group in a statement.

Media reports had claimed that Neslac Gold 1+ might be affected, said Nestle, but it pointed out that the Hong Kong government's food safety department had declared that the product was safe.

The product was tested by the Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre Ltd during September 18 to 20, as well as the Food Industry Research and Development in Taiwan on September 16, said the group.

"Neither test detected melamine in the product," said the Swiss group, which added that it regularly carried out more than 70 different tests on infant formula and other milk products.

In China, four babies have died and more than 6,000 have been made sick by milk powder contaminated with melamine, according to government statements.

One of the most serious health scandals to tarnish Chinese-made goods, the melamine scare has spread from milk powder to regular milk, yoghurt and ice cream from some of China's biggest dairy manufacturers.
