JUICE!


My favourite drinking is juice. i love to drink apple juice and orange juice. Why i love to drink orange juice?. Well, it is because one orange supplies a healthy dose of vitamin C which plays an important role in cancer prevention, healthy blood circulation and wound healing. Besides, oranges are a good source of the crucial B-vitamin folate, which is essential in preventing birth defects and fighting heart disease. Oranges are loaded with disease "phyt-ing" phytochemicals. These substances, such as flavonoids, which are found in oranges, act as antioxidant and may protect against heart disease. According to a Finnish study, women with the greatest intake of flavonoids had half the risk of dying from heart disease compared to women in the study with the lowest intake. So, now you know why i love to drink orange juice?. Yes it is because it is good for our health.

When you pick a healthy hot cereal over a pre-packaged cold cereal, you not only warm up your morning, you also gain health benefits that last a lifetime. Oatmeal, recently discovered as the cholesterol buster has its roots in Scotland. This early reference is why we associate the oatmeal grain with hot cereals. Oatmeal is slowly digested and high in complex carbohydrates, which makes it an ideal food choice for diabetics. Even with all this good news, only one in five families eat this heart healthy grain. Those that do, usually go for the pre-sweetened, chemical-containing single serving packs. These may lower your LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, but you'll be consuming too much sugar and less of the good stuff that actually sweeps your arteries clean.

Oats are not the only heart healthy powerhouse. Other whole grains such as brown rice, whole wheat or corn-based hot breakfast cereals can also deliver their health benefits as well. Brown rice based cereals are composed of processed rice, cooked like oatmeal. Choose a whole grain brown rice, and the resulting product is much like cream of wheat, but without the wheat. This is a great option for those who have a wheat allergy. Brown rice has tons of fiber and is also high in several minerals, including magnesium, phosphorous and potassium. Whole grain brown rice cereals are found in your local health food store, or in the health food section of your grocery. Whole wheat cereals also have tons of fiber and are a good choice for those wanting to try something new.

soya


There is a lot of controversy about soya and it's effect on human's health. Soya is beneficial for those with heat signs - feeling hot, red face, red eyes, high blood pressure, constipation and great thirst. It is also good for signs of dryness. Hence, soya is often recommended for menopausal women. For people with a cold constitution, the cooling properties of tofu may be balanced by combining it with ginger, which is a warming spice. Research has shown that eating soya can lower LDL "bad" cholesterol. People who eat a wide variety of pulses and wholegrains rather than high quantities of meat and saturated fats will tend to have lower cholesterol levels. Many women find that taking soya can help to normalise hormone levels. vegetarians and vegan alike will find soya a good source of protein, although care should be taken not to rely on it too heavily.

In one studied, 10 healthy women ate a diet containing two ounces of tomato puree each day for three weeks, either preceded by or followed by a tomato free diet for three weks. The researchers measured blood levels of lycopene and evaluated oxidative damaged to cells before and after each phase. They found that cell damaged dropped by 33% to 42% after consuming yhe tomato diet. the tomato is also an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of vitamin A.

amount of sleep needed


This lately i can't sleep very well. Since there are too much assigment to be done, i just can sleep only for 3-4 hours a night. But, in general, most healthy adult are built for 16 hours of wakefulness and need an average of 8 hours of sleep a night. However, some individual are able to function without sleepiness or drowsiness after as little as 6 hours of sleep. Today, as i know many sudent only have sleep 5-3 hours at night. can you imagine what wil happened to the next day? so, have a nice and enough sleep so that you will be fresh next day and easy to understand the lecture.

importance of water


Do you know how important water to our health?.True health cannot occur without proper hydration of the body.we need to drink half our body weight in ounce minimum each day. If your weigh 200 lbs, you should consume 100 ounces of water.
