Great for a hot day.

puLast month when my nephew was hospitalized i realized that having a health care plan can really help in times of emergency.  My sis envy her friend who told her about Blue Advantage which has the popular Plan A option because of the unlimited lifetime benefits. My sis just told her that she will try to find similar health care plans over here and start it as soon as she finds a job.

Weeks ago, we celebrated the 15th founding anniversary of the college so there were too much meat dishes.  We had a banquet Sunday evening and we have to eat left overs the next day.  So that Tuesday, we can’t afford to eat any single meat dish again so we had this -

- camote tops salad -

- fresh tomatoes with boiled eggs and raisins.

It was truly a delight!

I have so many food pics for the past 3 weeks. I wish there is a daily Food Trip meme so that i can show them all of them.

Photo entry here is a bowlful of “finger foods” served during our ice cream party last Sunday evening with our Week of Prayer speaker. I got 4 kinds of ice cream photos but since i posted ice cream last time, so am not posting the ice cream now.

Happy weekend everyone!

My cousin is so generous.  I mean feeling generous.  Her mom’s birthday is coming up and she thought of giving her mother a life insurance.  She got the idea after browsing through the life insurance lead she saw online days back. I told her that maybe a health insurance lead would be a better choice, but she said, just life. Anyway her mom is still very young at 50. I never imagine that one day i would be buying an insurance for my daughter.

Thanks Ma’am Lynn for sharing this.  This is from my mailbox and i wanna share this information with everyone —

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 turn 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 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 this will not happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemons 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 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 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!

For several weeks now i felt so stressed. Work related.  It can’t be avoided so am wishing that one day i could go away for a long vacation.  A vacation where i can’t be accessed by phone or even by internet.  I checked out Myrtle beach vacation rentals and it’s an ideal one for a vacation get-away. I envy my friends who went on a backpacking trip Europe last month.   They really had fun as I have seen in their photos.   They are now back to work  energized.

It is better late than never. I really don’t want to miss the meme this week but so many things happened that’s why i am just able to post now. But before that, am going to check out the price of mobile homes as my cousin is talking about this lately.

–Birthday food! —

thios is an old photo but i thought of posting this because  last night we had a sort of ice cream party with our week of prayer speaker.

Sunlight gives life to earth because it provides heat, light and food.   But what can sunlight do for you personally?

Sunlight can kill germs and can actually strengthen our body’s resistance to infection. That is why it is important to sun and air our blankets, quilts and other items that are not washed often.  Open up the windows of your house as much as possible as this will allow the sunlight to kill bacteria in your home as well.

Sunlight therapy is seen to increase some types of immunity. White blood cells are increased, especially lymphocytes.  Antibodies are increased.  These effects can last up to three weeks.  A ten-minute exposure to the sun one to two times a week can greatly reduce incidence of colds.

The theory of sunlight therapy is a very controversial issue – since suppressor T-cells activity is increased and natural killer-cell activity is suppressed.  This can be beneficial in conditions like multiple sclerosis and certain allergic conditions.  However, the risk of skin cancer is increased and some latent viruses are activated.

The important factor to remember is the amount of time one spends in the sun is very crucial. The idea is to have limited exposure and as with other good ideas, use in moderation.

The sunlight can increase your blood’s ability to carry and deliver oxygen, thus increasing your energy and endurance.

Unfiltered sunlight on the skin converts cholesterol in the skin into vitamin D.  This process can cause a significant lowering of your cholesterol level.
