Fortify Your Health!

There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of disease-fighting chemicals in plants. Here are some of the best food you can eat to stay healthy. Remember, not all have been medically proven to fight disease X,Y or Z. But healthy veggies never do any harm... 1) Soya beans helps prevent cancer of the breast, endometrium and ovary. 2) Onions and leeks may slow the development of tumour cells. 3) Carrots are a good source of the antioxidant beta carotene. 4) Broccoli helps stop carcinogens (cancer causing agents) damaging our DNA. 5) Carrots, celery and parsley all help slow down cancerous mutations. 6) Oranges are rich in the antioxidant vitamin C and help protect against stomach cancer. 7) Nuts and seeds are good sources of dietary fibre which speeds food through the gut, allowing carcinogens less time to interact with the lining. 8) Peas are a good source of folic acid, which helps in the formation of red blood cells.

Keep your skin acne free:

1) Watch your diet and observe the effects it has on your skin. As with any common condition, keeping your body hydrated is sound advice. 2) Avoid drinking too much alcohol (especially beer) and eating spicy food. These increase the level of heat within. 3) Drink herbal or green tea at least once a day to help detox your system. 4) It may not seem like it, but green apples are extremely good for preventing and fighting existing acne both on your face and around the body. 5) If you have glasses wash them so that all the oil is off your face. 6) There are no perfect creams and medicines that make your face smooth,soft and acne-free. 7) Try sleeping upright as often as possible (with your back facing the bed)

Kitchen Pointers:

1) Don't cut items,especially awkwardly shaped ones,while holding them in your hand. 2) Use good quality knives with a hand block.Keep them sharpened.They cut more efficiently with less force and don't stress your hand. 3) Use electric can and jar openers,carving knives and food processors to take the stress off your hands. 4) When possible,slide heavy pots and pans along the counter top,instead of lifting them. 5) Wipe up spills ASAP to prevent slips and falls.Go for anti-skid,anti-reflective flooring. 6) Have separate washing areas for veggies and utensils. 7) Have both ambient and task lighting.Even the cabinets should have lights inside that switch on when you open the door. 8) Have two ventilation systems-one for the entire room,one for the cooking system.
