Cara Bezakan Ais Dari Air Mentah Dan Air Masak


Pernahkah kita terfikir apakah ais yang kita minum itu betul-betul bersih, adakah ia sudah dimasak? Ini cara-caranya nak tahu adakah ais itu dibuat daripada air mentah atau air yang sudah dimasak :

Ais dari air mentah berwarna putih kerana masih banyak gas yang terperangkap di dalamnya. Biasanya, ais yang dibuat dari air mentah adalah ais blok. Ais ini jelas-jelas tidak baik dimakan/minum, lebih-lebih lagi jika airnya diambil dari sumber air yang tercemar.


Ais dari air masak akan kelihatan jernih kerana gas di dalam air terlepaskan ketika proses perebusan. Biasanya, ais seperti ini disebut ais kristal. Sekarang, ais kristal sudah banyak digunakan, ianya berbentuk kiub dan berlubang, berlubang di tengah-tengah.

The Anywhere, Anytime Chill Guide to Insomnia

By: Kate Hanley


Ms. Mindbody Kate Hanley shares the breathing exercise that will calm you back to sleep.

Insomnia takes different forms—either you can’t fall asleep to begin with, or you can fall asleep fine but you wake up in the middle of the night. This remedy can help with either type.

This simple breathing technique is particularly well-suited for helping you get back to sleep for three reasons: First of all, you can do it even when you’re lying in bed and exhausted, which is incredibly convenient. Second, taking a longer exhale requires a little act of surrender and helps you purge any tension you may be feeling. And finally, counting the length of your inhale and exhale is just enough of a distraction to take your attention off your thoughts.
Taking a longer 
exhale . . . helps you purge 
any tension you may be 
feeling.
Remedy:
Extended Exhale Breathing
Ingredients:
Two pillows-—one for under your head, one for under your knees
Time Needed:
As much time as you like
Instructions:
*  Lie on your back. Place one pillow under your knees so that you feel extra comfortable and supported. This arrangement also encourages the muscles in your lower back and abdomen to release completely, which enables you to breathe more deeply. The other pillow goes under your head.
*  Rest your hands on your belly and spend a few breaths feeling your hands rise as you inhale and fall on the exhale.
*  Once this belly breathing has helped you calm down a little, begin counting the length of your inhales and exhales. Inhale for a count of four, and exhale for a count of eight.
* If this count causes you any stress or strain, modify it to a more appropriate length for you. The only parameter is that the exhale should be twice as long as the inhale. Repeat until you feel yourself getting sleepy, verrrrry sleeeeeepyyyy...
Modifications:
If you’ve been at it for twenty minutes and you’re still not sleeping, get out of bed. On those long, dark nights when your mind won’t quiet down, get up, go in the other room, and write in your journal. It may not make any sense when you look at it by the light of day, but sitting and releasing all the thoughts that are swirling around eventually allows your natural urge for sleep to have its voice heard.
Benefits:
Soothes your nerves, which paves the way for the unrestricted breathing and total muscle relaxation that sleep brings. Gives you something to focus on besides your anxious thoughts and quiets your mind, making you more receptive to sleep’s gentle whispers

Other Remedies to Try:
Chamomile Tea • Open Your Inner Gate
Rescue Remedy • Supported Child’s Pose

Healing Depression Without Medication

BY: Tara Springett


Tara Springett discusses how to get over grudges that are causing depression. Depression and they all – without exception– overcame these painful feelings within a short time by following the advice that I will outline in this article.


I begin by showing all my clients how to send love to themselves - just like a mother would love her only child. Doing this has an enormous healing effect on our troubled emotions and prepares the ground for completely eliminating depression. We also need to learn to talk to ourselves just like a loving mother would talk to her troubled child and give up all harsh and judgemental words toward ourselves.


Many people believe that traumatic experiences of abuse and loss are the reason that they suffer from depression. While I have the deepest empathy with the feelings of my clients (having being abused as child myself) I do not believe that it is the trauma or abuse in itself that causes depression. What I have found is that most depressed people harbor deep-seated resentments against the people from their past who have hurt them. Sometimes, they even resent God for allowing painful things to happen. It is those unresolved resentments about the trauma – not the trauma in itself – that have turned into depression.


So, healing depression needs the acknowledgement of our grudges towards others who have caused us to suffer. Feeling this anger is an important step to recovery because once we feel angry we are already less depressed. Then we need to let our anger go because we are only harming ourselves with our chronic resentments – they will turn into depression and even physical sickness. However, I am not an advocate of ‘simply forgiving’. If we have experienced serious harm, nobody is in a position to simply forgive this. The person who has traumatised someone else will have to live with their guilt for the rest of their lives.


Letting go of our old grudges involves only one thing: sending positive energy to the other person with the intention that they will be healed from their negative impulses and regret what they have done. In other words, we need to send love to the very people who have harmed us.


Many people find it hard to imagine that they could send love to the very people who have hurt them. However, in my experience with my clients, most people find it easier than they initially believe. In fact, for many it feels like a big burden falls from their heart and their depression improves dramatically in a matter of minutes.


Once we have learnt to love ourselves and we have liberated ourselves from our negative self-talk and chronic resentment, it will become much easier to focus on positive feelings and our depression will soon be a thing of the past.

The Benefits of Apples

In the history of food, apples go right back to the Garden of Eden. The Bible is unclear as to what fruit Eve picked way back when, but it has been suggested it was an apple for good reason. Apples have been with us throughout history and have long been praised for their health benefits. The average apple is portable, tasty, has about 65 calories and 3 grams of fiber, and offers lots of vitamin C and some other antioxidants. Apples contain pectin, a water-soluble fiber that is known to help lower cholesterol and balance blood sugar. When our grandmothers said that an apple a day kept the doctor away, they might have been on to something.

Apples offer some specific health benefits.
· Diabetics—eat your apples! Apples contain flavonoids and phytonutrients (plant stuff) that regulate blood sugar. Not only that, apples contain galacturonic acid, a substance that lowers the body’s need for insulin.
· Apples contain quercetin and naringin, two cancer-fighting substances.
· Apples fill you up but don’t add a lot of calories, making them perfect for dieters or for anyone trying to maintain a normal weight. Eating an apple before a meal can help reduce what you eat in the meal.
· Apples are a heart-healthy food and may lower the risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, and cardiovascular heart disease. It is not clear how this happens—whether it’s something in the apples or whether it’s because people who eat a lot of apples tend to have more normal weights.
· Apples contain something called phloridzin, a flavonoid or plant nutrient, which supports bone health and promotes greater bone density. Apples are the only substance known to contain this. So if you’re worried about osteoporosis, supplement your calcium tablets with a daily apple or two (You can eat two … they’re that low in calories.).
· Quercetin, an antioxidant found in apples, can help increase lung function and endurance.



Adding apples to your diet is easy—apples are available all over the country in just about every grocery store. But don’t be fooled. The best way to add apples to a healthful diet is to eat them the way they come from the tree—fresh. The more you process the apple, the less perfect it becomes. Applesauce is fine, but it’s not as good for you as a real apple. Apple juice is good, too, but it’s not nearly as good as a real apple. Stay close to the tree and you’ll maximize health benefits.

There are more than 2500 varieties of apples grown across the United States and 7500 types around the world! Depending on whether you like your apple crisp or tender, sweet or tart, for cooking, baking, pie or eating out-of-hand there are sure to be at least a few varieties that will suit your taste. Here are just a few we can recommend:
If you like your apples sweet, look for:
· Gala
· Fuji
· Honeycrisp
· Jongold

· Pink lady If you prefer a more tart apple, sample: · Granny Smith · Winesap · Mutsu · Braeburn In general, if you like apples, you can’t find a “bad” variety.

To find more kinds of apples visit apple orchards and farm stands. Apples keep well in the refrigerator for about six weeks.

Dieting with a Practicing Mind

BY: Thomas M. Sterner 

Your mind is your strongest tool in the journey to weight loss.

Based on the book The Practicing Mind: Developing Focus and Discipline in Your Life , (c) 2012 by Thomas M. Sterner. Printed with permission from New World Library.

What’s the first thing we do when we set a dieting goal? We aim at the final destination: “I want to lose 25 pounds.” This immediately sets up a perspective that breeds struggle and beckons failure before we have made that first step onto the treadmill or passed up that first donut. Why?

Most of us have a habit of setting our goals too far out in front of where we are at that moment and immediately become attached to the point in time when that goal will be reached. This is both counterproductive and a misuse of the goal. Instead of our goal serving as a rudder to guide our effort, it creates a feeling within us that every moment along the way to reaching that goal is something we have to overcome, something we must endure. We experience impatience and struggle, and if we fail to sustain our extended effort, we can lose confidence in our ability to reach any particular goal we set. We also usually attach a time frame for reaching our goals that is totally unrealistic and not based on any factual information, but instead is driven by the thought that reaching a particular goal will make us feel more complete than we already are.

The key is to break our final goal into more manageable parts. Losing 25 pounds is the end of the journey, but to keep us inspired, it is much more helpful to set a goal of first losing only 5 pounds. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, or even fearful, that we will not be able to overcome our cravings for certain foods on any given day or, worse, for an entire week, we should focus on just breakfast and then just the midmorning snack. We know the rest of the day is out there, but we accept that we are here now and that there is just this one meal, this one temptation to deal with. We see only the physical exercise we need to do today, not the cumulative effort it will take to integrate exercise into our schedule for the rest of our lives.

We focus only on one small, simple task as we move through each hour of each day. Doing this requires the same awareness and control of eating and exercise that we need to reach the final goal of losing 25 pounds, but it sets us up with a much shorter “cycle of dieting” that we must adhere to before experiencing success. That experience of success then breeds the motivation and stamina necessary to keep moving forward.

It’s also wise to limit your number of trips to the scale. Stepping on the scale more than once or twice a week can be counterproductive because it can strengthen your attachment to reaching your overall weight goal as opposed to the process of achieving the weight loss. In systems such as Weight Watchers you only have one weigh-in a week. It is normal for your weight to fluctuate a little day-to-day, and stepping on the scale every day when you are trying to lose weight is like constantly looking at your hair in the mirror after a bad haircut to see if it has grown out. What you are really doing is measuring the distance from where you are to where you feel you want to end up. At some level you are saying, “I am not where I want to be, and until I get there, I am incomplete and so can’t feel good about where I am right now.”

The hidden joy in losing weight is a basic truth that is present in any cycle of creating a goal, working toward it, and then eventually reaching it. That joy is revealed in the awareness that the “moment” of achieving your goal is happening in every moment of your effort. In that awareness, you are open to accept those positive emotions in real time because you become aware that you are “living your success” right now.

Reducing the Signs of Aging with Estrogen

By: Marina Johnson, M.D., F.A.C.E

As women age, they start noticing the telltale signs: fine wrinkles and dry, sagging skin.

Risks of Not Having Enough Estrogen

Women are denied estrogen because of an increased risk of breast cancer. Yet, they’re not informed there are more risks from NOT taking estrogen! Heart disease and strokes kill more women each year (400,000) than the next sixteen causes of death including diabetes, all forms of cancer, aids and accidents!

Estrogen decreases Alzheimer’s and dementia by 50% and osteoporosis by 40%. I wrote my book, “Outliving Your Ovaries: An Endocrinologist Reviews the Risks and Rewards of Treating Menopause with Hormone Replacement Therapy,” to give women a guidebook for evaluating and selecting the safest forms of estrogen. Estrogen has over 400 actions on tissues throughout the body and when it’s deficient, adverse consequences occur. While hot flashes can be bothersome, the most serious problems occur when vital tissues literally start falling apart!



Changes in Skin

Let’s start with the most obvious changes: skin, hair and weight gain! I can look at a menopausal woman in her 50s or 60s and tell you if she’s taking estrogen. Many menopausal women resort to cosmetic surgery, Botox and fillers to look younger. It makes more sense to first restore normal estrogen balance. By increasing collagen, estrogen enhances the results of any procedures you choose to do. Healthy skin is also supported by having regular monthly facials, avoiding excessive sun & tanning booths and taking at least 1000 iu of Vitamin D3. Higher doses should be monitored by your physician.


Changes in Hair

Without estrogen, women develop thinning hair even in women who used to have a lot of hair. In menopause, a woman’s ovaries often continue to product testosterone. Even small amounts of testosterone without estrogen leads to loss of scalp hair and growth of facial hair. That’s why you often see older women with whiskers!

Estrogen Delays Middle Age

Estrogen delays the middle age spread by combating insulin resistance. Avoid ORAL estrogen that can worsen weight gain in many women! Instead, choose natural, bioidentical pharmaceutical topical estrogen that can be found in any drug store in the form of patches, gels, creams or mists. Compounded bioidentical hormones do NOT meet the same strict manufacturing standards for quality control and effectiveness.

Within Six Months of Losing Estrogen

Within six months of losing estrogen, many women notice vaginal dryness and painful sex leading to a decreased sex drive. No matter how much you love your partner, when your brain receives pain signals with sex, it turns off libido! Incontinence of urine, urgency and frequent bladder infections occur more often in postmenopausal women who don’t take estrogen.

That’s why it’s common to see older women on no HRT who have to use Depends! The good news is that both problems often resolve with a course of vaginal estrogen. Don’t cheat yourself by waiting too long. The most protection comes from starting estrogen within 10 years of menopause.
