BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS
 
1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
 
2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
 
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
 
4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causingmalnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
 
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
 
6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
 
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
 
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
 
10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

The main causes of liver damage are:
 
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring , and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
 
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."
 
 
Because :
 
Evening at 9 - 11 PM : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.
 
Evening at 11pm - 1 am : is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.
 
Early morning 1 - 3 am : detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.
 
Early morning 3 - 5 am : detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
 
Morning 5 - 7am : detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.
 
Morning 7 - 9 am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30 am , for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10 am rather than no meal at all.
 
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.
 
 
DO TAKE CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH......

 

Differentiate Yourself With Earth Friendly Green Products

According to Rex Nutting, Washington Bureau Chief of MarketWatch, the inventory of previously owned homes up for sale in May 2007 rose to the highest level in relation to sales in 15 years, putting even more houses into an already glutted market.

With sales of existing homes falling 0.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.99 million down from the upwardly revised 6.01 million in April, according to the National Association of Realtors, and sales down 10.3% from just a year ago and off approximately 17% from the peak, what can builders and homeowners do to differentiate themselves from the 4.43 million homes currently for sale on the market?

Building or remodeling with green products is the perfect way to do just that.

According to a survey conducted by the National Association of Home Builders and McGraw-Hill Construction, 85% of homeowners said they were more satisfied with their new green homes than with their previous, traditionally built homes. The survey allowed respondents to state more than one reason for buying an environmentally friendly home; showing that nearly 50% of those surveyed said that concern for the environment was a reason to buy a green home, and the same percentage held that their family's health was a reason. 63% stated lower operating and maintenance costs motivated their purchases.

Additionally, homebuyers were willing to pay a higher price up front to get those benefits. "We found that people buying green homes were willing to pay an $18,500 premium in order to get a green home," said Harvey Bernstein, vice president of industry analytics, alliances, and strategic initiatives at McGraw-Hill Construction.

To be classified as, "Truly Green", homes must include three or more products or features addressing the following:

1. Energy-Efficiency

2. Indoor Air Quality

3. Resource Management and/or Use of Recycled Materials

4. Site Management/Location of the Home and its Surroundings

5. Water Efficiency

Who is the Competition?

Their research showed that only 0.3% of existing homes qualified as "Truly Green" whereas, 2% of homes incorporated a green product, such as energy-efficient doors and windows, appliances, or heating.

In Jack Trout's "Differentiate or Die: Survival in Our Era of Killer Competition", he warns, "Those who fail to differentiate their product or service, in the mind of the consumer, won't stand a chance." This is your chance to differentiate yourself as a renovator, builder, homeowner, real estate agent, or other professional looking to change your business as well as the world.

Who is Buying Green Homes?

The report found that those apt to invest in a green home are women, who are married, affluent, well educated and are likely to be in their mid-40s and from the Southern or Western states. The popularity of green features is not limited to new construction.

The research estimated that about half of U.S. homeowners recently renovated their homes, and about 40% of them used green products. Energy-efficient windows and doors, as well as energy-efficient heating and air-conditioning systems are some of the most popular green upgrades, Bernstein said.

Examples of Energy Saving Features to Incorporate in your Building

• Ridge vents and perforated Hardi soffit vent for maximum air flow

• House completely wrapped with 7/16 inch OSB

• R-38 insulation in ceiling

• R-22 insulation in sloped ceilings

• R-13 insulation in exterior walls

• Tech Shield radiant barrier sheathing for roof decking

• Tyvek HomeWrap for a more energy efficient home

• Polyseal exterior openings to prevent air intrusion

• Double pane insulated Low-E windows with the choice of three colors

• Energy-efficient appliances

• Energy-efficient windows

• Energy-efficient heating (electric radiant floor heating, zone heating, solar heating)

Cheating Wives - Play with Your Lives!

Many wives cheat on their husbands. This could be due to the fact that the husband does not give much of his time to his wife. The husband is usually the bread winner in a family and spends most of his time at work. This is especially so when a husband is self-employed and works for himself. His time becomes more important to him to work as he needs to make money for the family to survive.

If your husband is a workaholic then your lives are even more at risk from your wife cheating on her husband. Sometimes the husband can become so engrossed in his work that it may seem to the wife that he is totally ignoring her. When she tries to tell him something he is only half listening and this is very frustrating for the wife. The wife ay become bored with her husband as she seeks his attention. The husband may not realise just how little attention ha has been giving his wife. A wife can resent this and hence start to look elsewhere for her needs.

Wives cheat on husband in many ways. Wives often have time on their hands when they do not work so they have the ideal opportunity to cheat on their husbands. Wives may use the excuse to go shopping to sneak off to cheat on their husbands. They may be purchasing goods using their husbands cash or credit cards. They may even be buying gifts with the husbands hard earned money for their lovers and not even give this a thought. Things may even escalate out of all proportion and what was once a small gift may turn into a rather large expensive gift especially if the husband does not keep tabs on the wives expenditure.

If you have a family then it is even easier to cheat on your husband as you can use the excuse that you need more money to fund a child’s activity and whilst they are at school you are then free to go whenever and wherever you please to cheat on your husband. Cheating wives may not just cheat on their husbands by seeing one lover they may have several to keep them entertained. Once the wife has cheated on her husband and found that she can get attention elsewhere she is likely to roam further and often likes to be the centre of attentions at parties and flirt with whomever she can. Wives may even cheat behind their husbands back and even the husbands closest friends or brother can often be a prime target for a cheating wife.

Many wives cheat on their husbands to try and make their husbands jealous. This is a very dangerous situation as often when the husband finds out about his cheating wife he is absolutely furious and cannot understand why his wife has betrayed him as he has given her so much freedom to do and go as and where she pleases. Many wives expect their husbands to forgive and forget that they have strayed and cheated on their husbands. For some husbands this may be the case but for others they feel intimidated that their wives have cheated on them and do not wish to stay together any longer as the wife may keep cheating on them in the future. It must be remembered that many husbands take the view that once a cheating wife she will always be a cheating wife and they do not wish to share their wife with anyone and why should they!

Free and Funny Wedding Speeches

Making a Wedding Speech can be a very stressful event for those involved. To stand up and make a speech in front of any group can be nerve racking but when you consider that those about to make a Wedding Speech are about to stand up before friends and family then it can bring on a whole new set of nerves!!

Sometimes the person making the Wedding Speech will inject a few good one liners to add an element of fun and if delivered well this can be very effective. One important point that goes with humor in a Wedding Speech is to practise your delivery, there is no point in being flustered and saying the punchline first!!

Many Wedding Speeches made by the groom will mention his new mother-in-law and he may extend his thanks for a job well done in bringing up her daughter. One groom took this a step further and thanked his father-in-law for giving him two mother-in-laws! Generally the grroms speech will be made on behalf of himself and his new wife and if he knows what is good for him he will praise her to the hilt!

Next in the grooms speech he should thank the bridesmaids for performing their duties and it then falls to the groomsman to reply on behalf of the bridesmaid in his speech. It makes sense for the the groom and his groomsman to get together to discuss this part of their speeches before hand.

If you are on the look out for free wedding speech ideas then look no further. Here are a few that I have discovered,

·  I'm told that the best speech makers follow three simple rules. Stand Up. Speak Up. Then, very quickly, Shut Up. I'll try to stick to that advice.

·  The brain is a wonderful thing. It never stops functioning from the time you're born until the moment you stand up to make a speech.- Herbert V Prochnow and Herbert V Prochnow Jnr

·  The trouble with being the best man at a wedding is that you never get the chance to prove it.

·  Here's to our wives and lovers. May they never meet.

·  The most effective way to remember your wedding anniversary is to forget it once.

·  'Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be.'-Robert Burns

These are just a few of the examples that are available on the internet. Really researching your Wedding Speech can help you quiten your nerves because you will then be comfortable with what you are going to say.

So you have done your research, you have prepared a fantastic free wedding speech and you have practised in front of the mirror, you are ready to go! Try not to over do the dutch courage and have a great Wedding and good luck with the speech!

Britney and Paris

Mother Britney Spears takes her pants off in public with Paris Hilton, while proceeding with a divorce and custody battle for her children. Certainly this was not a very smooth move on Britney's part.

Britney Spears recently dumped and proceeded to divorce her husband. Telling the world that she wants to improve her image and career, Britney's actions certainly don't affirm that.

The newly-liberated pop star enjoyed a wild 'girls night out' in Sin City with Miss Hilton this weekend; dancing, laughing and chain-smoking throughout the night.

The unlikely pair landed at club Tryst in the Wynn hotel, where Britney was spotted getting down and dirty on the dance floor to several Paris Hilton songs. In fact, things got so heated, Britney ditched her pants -- and danced around the club in a pair of fishnet stockings!

Reading some of her fans posted comments on TMZ (which I've written below) is revealing:

"Britney dumps Fed-Ex to hang out with Parisite Crotch???"

"Umm... where's her kids?"

"She needs to shape up, not a good picture for child custody battle. Although, Federjerk is worse than she is."

"She is a poor role mode, she looks gross..."

"She and Paris never got along, she was jealous of Paris. She is a drinking, cigarette smoking, weed head. She and Kevin are one in the same, take away Britney's money, and she and Kevin are EXACTLY the same - white trash, she just has money."

"Ha. I knew her cleaned up image was too good to be true. She should have stayed with K-Fed - their white trash ways suited each other. But please, doesn't she realize that she's a mother to TWO children now. She needs to grow up. Oh, and cigarettes are making her look old and tired before her time."

"If I were Britney, in the middle of a custody battle, I for one would not be clubbing every night in sin city, bad for the 'I'm a good momma' court defense, two would not be hanging out with ...Parisite, that in itself is going to kill her career!"

"She needs to be careful of what she does and who she hangs out with if she really loves her kids, and this is not looking good for her!!!"

"If you wanted to clean up your career, hanging with Parisite was not the way to do it!!! Do you have PR people, staff that can help you and give you a honest opinion?"

"Is the partying right now worth the custody of your kids??? THINK!!!"

"If your working, that's one thing, need a night out, another, but being out almost every night since her separation, drinking, smoking, hanging out with "Parisite" & others, Is she trying to lose her children? Because she is doing a better job at that than she is at Parenting, Marriage and Career."

"Britney has MENTAL problems. Why don't people get that? She is a little immature girl in a woman's body. She is not fit to be a mother, period. Dancing in a club with no pants on? Unbelievable!"

Well, based on these responses three things are for certain. First, Britney and Paris (as well as a good number in show business) were never intended to be "role models." Secondly, immaturity clothed in an adult body is a pity when children are involved. Thirdly, those who closely follow these celebrities and devote their time to angrily discuss and write about them could be spending there time better elsewhere.

Coming of age is one thing, maturing is another. Pray for these beautiful young ladies, because once their beauty fades they will need to secure their identities internally. Most importantly remember everybody needs love. Just because you are famous does not mean you know and have unconditional love apart from your performance and appearance. Therefore pray for and be gracious to these ladies. Malice toward none and charity for all.

How Can You Design Your Own Wedding Logo?

Most couples want to make their wedding as unique as possible. One of the ways to make something unique is to personalize it. No one will doubt that everyone is unique and by personalizing the wedding items they should be unique to some extend.

In the design industry, there is something called brand building. By the name of brand building you will know that the idea is to build the brand for a corporation. Making a logo is one of the essential tasks in the process of brand building. The logo can help people to distinguish one company from another. Although a wedding is not the same as building a brand for a company, making a wedding logo is still a good idea to make the wedding unique.

To make your wedding items more unique, you should of course print or have it embossed on your wedding invitation. Besides, you can print them on the wedding favors. You may also make a backdrop with your logo on it for your wedding reception. In this way you can use your logo to make your wedding more unique. However, you may have a question in you mind that if you can design or make the logo yourself. The answer is certainly yes.

One of the easiest ways to make your wedding logo is to design a monogram. In the past it is nearly impossible for one do make such a logo himself / herself without the help of a professional graphic designer or illustrator. We should thank to the advance in computer technology that with the software you may use everyday, both at work and at home, you can create your own monogram wedding logo without any difficulty.

In most cases you will take your initials to make your wedding monogram. You can use just Microsoft Word to create you wedding monogram. You can try to create you monogram by composing different fonts. If you find that there is only a limited number of fonts in your computer, you can search in Google for free fonts. These "free fonts" are usually free for personal uses, you can use them without any problem.

In some cases you may want to use your full names to make the wedding logo. This will need a bit more skill and time. And in this case time is more important. If you take enough time to test various combinations of different fonts and typefaces, you should be able to make your wedding logo with your full names.

Some professional designers may think that Microsoft Word is not a software meant to be making designs. However, it should be good enough for you to make your wedding logo.

Using a monogram as a wedding logo is a good idea since it normally can deliver a sense of nobleness. However, some people may think a monogram (especially monograms in Victorian style) is too formal. You may want to go for something less formal since a wedding is meant to be fun. The followings are some concepts you may use to make your wedding logo

1. Your occupation
2. Your date of wedding
3. Your dates of birth
4. The place you two were born

The above only gives you a direction for you to start designing your wedding logo. There should be many more concepts. With your imagination, you should be able to create the best wedding logo of your own, and on your own.
