Lets know about #Food #Poisoning

How does food #poisoning actually occur? There are two main reasons why people get food poisoning- the first is poor hygiene and the second is when the cold-chain is broken. A break in the cold-chain is when you freeze chicken that has been defrosted and then freeze it again. This causes bacteria to form and that’s what makes you sick. Poor hygiene relates to food that isn’t stored properly, for example not refrigerating food overnight, which basically causes it to go “off.”” most common cause for food poisoning- I would definitely say poor hygiene, as it’s much more likely to occur based on people not washing their hands, not washing the contaminated surfaces that they cook and eat on or leaving food out and allowing bacteria to form. i would suggest that people keep hand sanitizer closely available and use it whenever they are going to eat out, students on campus or employees in a canteen.

#Free #Radicals #Facts #Antioxoident -

The water-soluble vitamin C and fat-soluble vitamin E, along with beta-carotene, are antioxidants thought to protect the body against the destructive effects of free radicals. Free radicals are highly chemically reactive atoms, molecules, or ions with unpaired valence electrons, making it very unstable. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by donating one of their own electrons, ending the electron-“stealing” reaction, also known as free radical damage. The antioxidant nutrients themselves don’t become free radicals by donating an electron because they are stable in either form. They act as scavengers, helping to prevent cell and tissue damage that could lead to cellular damage and disease. Antioxidants have many benefits on one’s health and the best way to obtain these benefits is through raw, whole foods. A good way to know what foods are high in antioxidants is the color; vibrant colors, such as purple, blue, red, orange, and yellow. However, sometimes it is nice to have a l

Best Tips to lower blood pressure, three best home remedies for hypertension

Tips to Keep Kidneys Healthy

There are several preventative measures that can be taken to keep the kidneys healthy. The kidneys are self-cleansing, so the most important thing you can do is to stay properly hydrated every day with pure, clean water. In addition, parsley tea and pure cranberry juice are natural cleansers for the kidneys. Eliminate sodas and energy drinks. These drinks are hard on the kidneys and often lead to kidney stone formation. Keep your cholesterol in check and stay at a healthy weight. Drink plenty of pure water. If you live in areas with hard water – buy a good filter, never drink water straight from the tap. Hard water is full of extra minerals that can be hard for the kidneys to process fully. Don't worry, if you eat a healthy diet you likely won't become mineral deficient. Keep blood sugar levels under control. Avoid smoking and drink alcohol only in moderation.

Try This Simple Detox Drink

10 oz. Water 1 tbsp. Honey 2 tbsp Lemon Juice 1/4 tsp. Turmeric How It Works-- The reason why detox drinks work well is partly because of the continuous intake of antioxidants. If you were to eat a meal with a high antioxidant content, the oxidants don’t stick around for very long and are rapidly excreted by your kidneys. Green tea antioxidants work for an hour or two and so do most other water-soluble antioxidants. When you consume them continuously in a drink however, the effects are much more renounced and you start to feel the benefits of the detox. This detox drink works very well, because of the cleansing power of honey, mixed with the acidity of lemon juice and it’s vitamin c content. Turmeric rapidly removes toxins from the liver and some cultures even use it as a hangover remedy, as it cleanses all the toxins that are created as by produces of alcohol breakdown.

Reason for women’s longevity

Women have longer lives when compared to men, claims a new study performed by the researchers at the University of Southern California Davis School of Gerontology. Researchers wondered why does this occur and was this always the case. They found that women treat their bodies better when compared to men and most of the men end up with heart disease or diseases that result from smoking. The study examined the life spans of people born between 1800 and 1935 in 13 developed nations. Focusing on mortality in adults over the age of 40, the team found that in individuals born after 1880, female death rates decreased 70 per cent faster than those of males. “We were surprised at how the divergence in mortality between men and women, which originated as early as 1870, was concentrated in the 50-to-70 age range and faded out sharply after age 80,” The researchers even examined the longevity of men by controlling smoking-related illnesses but they found cardiovascular diseases as the main

CELL PHONE SAFETY

A lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her cell phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet, etc., was stolen. 20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking about our Pin number and I replied a little while ago.' When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account. Moral lesson: a. Lock the keypad with a password if your phone allows it! b. Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc. c. And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts,
