Stop Using the Chemical Pesticide Right Now!

July 10th 2010 02:39
Gardening is a very interesting and elegant hobby, as it needs a lot of patient.

Hence, for those who love gardening, they’re normally using the chemical pesticides to control the pests growing rate.

However, it’s not the most effective solution, as it bring more damage to the environment, your pets and your loved ones’ healthy condition, when they’re inhaling the pesticides!

Well, there’s always a better way to expel the pests away from your plants. Just follow the simple steps, and you’ll be able to create an organic pest remedy within minutes!

I named the pest remedy as “The Effective Garlic Oil Spray”.


Here are the ingredients:

12 cloves of garlic (All the garlic should have been well-minced)
2 teaspoons olive oil
600ml distilled water
One teaspoon liquid dish soap

The preparation:

First of all, soak all the minced garlic in olive oil for more than 36 hours.

After that, the garlic needs to be strained out. Then, add 600ml distilled water and one teaspoon liquid dish soap into it.

Lastly, you should make sure that you’ve mixed it thoroughly.

Voila, looks what you’ve done? You’ve created your very own organic pest remedy! Now, it’s time to spray it on the garden…

What our tiny furry 6 legged honey bee blesses us: The Bee Pollen

June 30th 2010 06:17
Hi everyone!

I have been working a lot and travelling a lot recently, until I hardly have any time to post anything interesting / informative until now.

Recently I took a trip to Chiang Mai with my colleagues for a short break after extreme long hours of work on projects. And one of the destinations our friendly and helpful tour guide from No.1 Chiang Mai Tours took us was - a honey production factory, the Thepprasit Honey. Which harvests honey from the highlands of Thailand.


There I have learned some nifty interesting quick ways to detect a pure honey, but seemed that a website that speaks a lot about honey said that it isn't a 100% accuracy to test that outside the lab, so I'll push aside talking about pure honey and take your attention to:

(before I do so, I've learned that to reduce sourness of honey in your drink, ONLY USE plastic spoons)

The Bee Pollen
bee pollen


If you have a real bee pollen with you and if you look closely enough, you can actually see tiny bee footprints on it, which makes it more interesting for me to find out more about this, besides listening to the explanation of the sales personnel.

According to benefits-of-honey.com, the bee pollen is actually packed full of nutrients, from rich protein, amino acids to B Complex. And the best part is that besides lowering cholesterol, increasing immune system, it helps to loose weight! That's pretty much "honey" to every girl's ear.
(hahaha... I think I really need that after dining at McDonalds throughout the World Cup season to watch HD screen football)

And according to the owner of bee-pollen-buzz.com owner, Angela, the benefits of consuming bee pollen daily does help strengthen individual's stamina, because of its highly packed nutrients.

(Please click on the link to read the details of the benefits of bee pollen from Angela's interview as I do not want to repost it here.)

However, good stuffs doesn't come cheap. If you think you might want to give it a try, you will need to check out whether its genuine. A suggested area less polluted bee pollen are manufactured from Canada, or New Zealand. Well, now, we know it can be found from the Northern Thailand too.

Bee pollen can be consumed through mixing onto mid-warm drinks (around 60 - 70 deg C) or made a smoothie, sprinkled on cereals, and even consumed directly. (Currently I just started consuming directly during lunch whenever I feel hungry)

Angela also suggested a "Super Smoothie" recipe that I might want to try it out.
Ingredients
2 scoops high Quality vanilla Protein Powder (preferably one WITHOUT aspartame or sucralose)
1/2 banana
1/2 Cup raspberries
1-2 TBSP Bee Pollen
1 TBSP liquid honey
Instructions
Blend until liquified, but don't over blend as some of the nutrients may be damaged or lost due to the heat of the blender.

So, enjoy reading the details, and believe me, I'll let you know how I feel after finishing the 500g bee pollen in months time.

Note:
According to the sales personnel, because of its natural bitter-sweet, it is save to be consumed by diabetic patients.
If anyone has allergic background, start consuming in tiny bits (like 1/3 of teaspoon) and gradually increase its amount. If you have allergy reaction stop consuming it immediately.

Stop Feeding the Livestock with Animal Antibiotics!

June 26th 2010 02:46
Nowadays, up to 70 percent of the livestock, such as pigs, chickens, ducks, cattle and goats are feeding with animal antibiotics. The main objective of this action is to promote the animal’s growth rate!

The United States’ Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been urged the farms to stop practicing the antibiotic feeding method, as it’s inappropriate and unnecessary!



Go figure, when we’re consuming the livestock that have been highly injected with animal antibiotics, it won’t go away, but leaving a deep impact inside our body! That’s why, sometimes we heard that some men have a pair of man boobs, due to the consuming of chicken breasts excessively.

In addition, the animal antibiotics will slowly weakening our immune system, memory and even causing the happening of Alzheimer’s disease! Be aware of the animal antibiotics. Choose only the livestock that grow in organic farm and completely free from the animal antibiotics!

May 29th 2010 04:03
First of all, did anyone here craving with chocolate? If you did, then the news is going to disappoint you here…

The Food Standards Agency has warned the chocolate manufacturers to cut down the size of chocolate bar and confectionery related products!

According to the standardized scale, the size of the chocolate bars should not be larger than 40 gram. Hence, most of the chocolate bars are against the rules, as they’re having a size much bigger than it!



The FSA have called the dairy and confectionary manufacturers to reduce the amount of saturated fat and added sugar in chocolate, as it’s one of the biggest reasons that contributing to obesity.

The FSA warned that they’re going to take an action to those manufacturers who didn’t obey the rules.

In addition, FSA also restricted the cans of fizzy drinks to cut off its regular 330 ml to 250 ml by 2015 as well!

It seems that FSA will have many works to follow up in the upcoming years.

Making Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich by Using Only Hot Iron!

May 22nd 2010 02:17
I loved to do many different activities, when I’m have free time. Travel is one of my favorite hobbies, as I can gain more knowledge and taking many beautiful photos, so that I can share it with my friends!

When I’m traveling, I always brought several things, such as an Iron, aluminium foil and a universal socket. Hehe, you must be wondering, “Why I’m bringing these stuffs besides me?” Well, let me revealed the secret behind the story…

Go figure, you’ve woke up from your bed in the motel, but you’re too lazy to get to the downstairs to have your breakfast? In this case, I can use the iron, aluminium foil and a universal socket to make a simple breakfast.



Here are the steps for preparing the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich:

1. First of all, you must preheat the iron until it reached 100 degree celsius. Beside that, don't forget to fold the iron with the aluminium foil!

2. Secondly, take a slice of bread and ironing it for about 4 minutes.

3. Then, put the cheese above the bread.

4. After that, get a slice of bacon and iron it under the hot iron for 3 minutes.

5. Lastly, you have to iron the egg on the iron for about 3 minutes. In order to avoid the egg's fluid from spitting out, you should use a round mould to hold the egg while it's being ironed on the hot iron!

Ta-Da, your Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich is finished in 10 minutes.
Enjoy your meal!

Keep Your Eyes On Your Loved Ones!

May 15th 2010 02:10
Recently, I watched a television series named, “Mental”. It’s talking about the life of a radical unorthodox psychiatrist, Dr. Jack Gallagher with his colleagues offer strange treatments for the mental illness patients!

Each of the episodes is describing about a new mental illness, such as phobias, bipolar disorder, autism and much more. The more ironic thing is up to 70 percent of the mental illnesses are causing by the environment, rather than the congenital disease!

The National Confidential Inquiry in UK has pointed out that the suicide rates amongst the people who having mental illnesses have been hugely increased between 1997 and 2005!



They discovered that those who are diagnosed with schizophrenia and delusions have a higher rate of killing themselves! In addition, they’ve been recorded a rise of the suicide cases for those women who having postnatal depression!

Hence, you should keep your eyes on your loved ones from time to time, as it helps us to prevent the unfortunately events from happening on your family members or friends!

A Better World without Cancer?

April 3rd 2010 02:03
Cancer has been a very common disease, and it’s still the number one killing disease that caused more than millions of death in worldwide every year.

However, if someone is telling you that one in three of us will be diagnosed with cancer during our lifetime, would you believe of what he/she said?

The cancer is mostly happening on older people, but it might strike on us anytime without any warning!

The even worse thing is some of the cancer, such as breast cancer seems to become more common in the female, especially on the women below 40s! The cases of lung cancer and esophageal cancers are significantly dropped over the past few years, due to the reduction of smokers! It’s a very encouraging statistic.

Thanks to the advanced cancer treatments, the death rate is steadily decreasing year after year.

I’m sure in the near future, cancer won’t be labeled as the “incurable disease” anymore!
