LABU OH LABU
Rasionalnya kalau dah selalu dihidangkan dengan juadah yang sama, mestilah jemu tekak si suami. Bahaya ni, bahaya ANA...
Cakap pasal masakan yang menggunakan bahan labu, mestilah LABU MASAK LEMAK. Ada juga yang tidak makan atau tidak suka lauk ini. Pada para penggemar Labu pula, pasti terbayangkan keenakkan dan nikmatnya si Labu ini.
Labu oh Labu.... pada penggemar, mari kita kupas apakah khasiat yang diperolehi selain dari kenikmatan rasanya.
Labu kaya dengan nutrisi seperti alpha-karotin, beta-karotin, serat, vitamin C dan E, magnesium, potasium dan asid pantotenik yang bagus untuk merawat penyakit serta labu rendah kalori dan lemak. Alpha-karotin dan beta-karotin adalah antioksida yang penting, dan ianya adalah pro-vitamin A karotenoid yang bagus untuk kesihatan mata dan memastikan fungsi imun berada pada tahap yang bagus.
Manakala beta-karotin dapat memperbaiki kerosakan kulit yang diakibatkan oleh matahari. Selain itu kandungan antioksida ini turut melambatkan proses penuaan dan mengurangkan risiko pembentukan katarak pada mata dan dapat mencegah pertumbuhan tumor.
vitamin C yang terkandung dalam labu juga bagus untuk imun tubuh dan juga mengurangkan risiko tekanan darah tinggi, serangan penyakit jantung dan mengawal tahap kolestrol tubuh. Vitamin E yang terkandung pula memelihara kesihatan kulit dan juga boleh mengurangkan risiko nyanyuk dan penyakit kronik lain seperti kanser.
Dari segi kandungan potasium labu, ianya dapat mengimbangi cecair dalam tubuh, memperkuatkan tulang dan juga baik untuk penghasilan tenaga dan juga mengawal tekanan darah. Kandungan magnesium labu pula membantu dalam memperbaik fungsi jantung, manakalan asid pantotenik mengimbangi tahap hormon dan baik untuk mengawal stress tubuh. Malah biji labu itu sendiri mengandungi vitamin E, omega-6 dan omega-3.
Dan yang paling seronok, bukan saja rasanya yang sedap tetapi harga yang menakjubkan. Sebiji labu dalam anggaran 2 ringgit saja, bergantung kepada saiz buah.

The wonders of Cucumber
2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.
3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.
4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.
5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!
6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B
vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in
equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!
7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening
snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.
8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don ' t have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.
9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!
10. Stressed out and don ' t have time for a massage, facial or visit to the spa?
relaxing aroma that has been shown to reduce stress in new mothers and college students
during final exams.
11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don ' t have gum or mints?
12. Looking for a ' green ' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel?
Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but it won ' t leave streaks and won ' t harm your fingers or fingernails while you clean.
13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!

REBRANDING
HUG ME !!
Another study showed that people who got regular hugs were twice as likely to describe their mental health as first rate.
Plus, a loving hug in the morning, researchers say, can cheer you up throughout the day. Just a brief hug or 10 minutes of hand holding with a romantic partner greatly reduces the harmful physical effects of stress.

Anda Seorang Pembersih ?
Kata orang kebersihan melambangkan peribadi seseorang. Ada orang cakap sikap seseorang itu boleh dinilaikan berdasarkan elemen kebersihan yang diamalkan seseorang itu. Ada individu yang begitu cerewet dalam hal-hal kebersihan. Tak boleh tengok benda-benda yang bersepah, kotor, busuk didepan mata. Ada pulak individu yang tak begitu cerewet a.k.a tak berapa nak peduli. Anda dalam kategori yang mana?

INSOMNIA
Are you in that category? Having a difficulties to fall asleep, even you've spent most energy and get exhausted for the whole day? It seems that mostly I'm in the group....
What are the causes ? Studies recognized the reasons are :-
- Use of drugs during medication treatment, caffeine ~ too much coffee consumption
- Use of antibiotic drugs ~ associated with more severe and chronic types of insomnia
- Restless Legs Syndrom which can cause sleep onset insomnia due to the discomforting sensations felt ~ long hours drive or walking maybe
- An injury or condition that causes pain can preclude an individual from finding a comfortable position in which to fall asleep, and can in addition cause awakening.
- Hormone shifts such as those that precede menstruation and those during menopause
- Life events such as FEAR, STRESS, ANXIETY, emotional or mental tension, work problems, financial stress, birth of a child and bereavement.
- Mental disorders
- Disturbances of the circadian rhythm, such as shift work and jet lag, can cause an inability to sleep at some times of the day and excessive sleepiness at other times of the day.
