Attention, please…!

If you’re one of the car owners, then you should read this on, as it relates with your personal and loved ones health!

According to the latest research done by the University of California, most of the components inside the car, such as the car dashboard, sofa, interior decoration and air freshener will emit Benzene, where it is to be known as one of the main cancer causing toxins! Furthermore, Benzene can cause a harmful poison to your bones; reduce the amount of white blood cells or even causing you having Leukemia as well



The acceptable Benzene level indoors is about 50 mg per square feet. Do you know, what is the amount of Benzene of a car that parked indoors with the entire window closed? Let me tell you, it’s at least 8 to 16 times higher than the standard 50 mg per square feet. The more shocking thing is if you parked the car outdoors and exposure it under the sun at a temperature above 16 degrees Celsius, then the amount of Benzene can goes up to 2000 – 4000mg, where it’s 40 to 80 times of the acceptable level!

If you don’t want to be the next cancer victim, you should open the car’s windows and door for at least 5 minutes, before you enter to the car and start the engine. Remember that Benzene is a highly dangerous chemical substance, where it can cause permanent kidney and liver failure!

We born and rose by our parents. It’s our responsibility to take care of them when they are getting older. However, the task can be very tough, if we didn’t do any preparation here!

Let’s take an example, Finn, my colleague cum best friend, was having some troubles of taking care his own parents. For your information, he is now living in a 3-storey house. Finn is a lucky man, as he married a lovely wife, Stephanie and having three adorable children: Christopher, Giselle and Desmond. Beside that, Finn’s father and Stephanie’s mother is living under the same roof with them!

It seems like a very happy family and you might assume that it can be happily ever after…Well, sometimes there are many unpredictable things can be happened in life! Finn’s father was suddenly having heart attack 9 months ago. Although he managed to survive from the incident, but he is unable to walk again due to the side effect of heart attack – stroke! Since then, Finn was quite upset with his father health condition. He knew that it’s time to show the sincerity to his father, although his father insists that his is fine with current condition.

After a consideration and discussion with Stephanie, Finn decided to install a home elevator inside their house. The only problem was there are many types of home elevators and he has no ideas which one is the suitable one!

So, he has giving me a call and ask for my opinion. I’d given him some suggestion that he should choose according to his father need and the price that he can afford with! Two weeks later, I received a call from Finn again. He told me that he has installed the “National Wheel-O-Vator”, where this home elevator allows his father to go up and down to the second floor safely.

I must admit that Finn is a very filial son, as despite of installed the home elevator, he’d also bought two electric scooters for his father and his mother-in-law. Now, both of them can drive the electrical scooters all over the neighborhood whenever they want!

When I was still a kid, my mother always wrapped the cereals with a slice of cabbage and feed me! (Honestly, I didn't know what the h*ll of the cabbage was, I just be the mummy boy and chew every slice of cabbage! lol)

Cabbage is one of the cheap vegetable, but you cannot deny that it is one of the richest when it comes to protective vitamins. Do you know that raw cabbage can be used to clean the waste from the stomach and upper bowels which improves digestion and reduces constipation?



Beside that, cabbage can act as a cancer inhibitor, particularly colon cancer, where it to be used to stimulates the immune system, kills harmful bacteria, soothes ulcers, and improves circulation.

The outer leaves are a good source of vitamin E, making it good for the complexion. Some of the hidden benefits of cabbage are:

It is rich in vitamin C (raw white cabbage contains as much vitamin C as lemon juice) and sulphur,
The cabbage is a health food store in a compact edible package.

All these benefits are yours at only 24 calories per 3.5 ounces. If you want to keep fit, then I have a delicious cabbage soup for you to try out. There you go:

* 1 head cabbage, shredded or chopped
* 2 large onions, chopped
* 16-28 ounces canned tomatoes, chopped
* 2 green peppers
* 4 stalks celery
* 1-2 packages Lipton onion soup mix, or any dry onion soup mix (optional)
* black pepper
* any fresh herb(s) of your choice, chopped
* 6 carrots, sliced
* 1/2 pound green beans, sliced on diagonal
* 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (optional)

First, put all vegetables in a big pot and cover with water.
Then, bring it to a boil, stir in the soup mix (if desired), and boil gently for 10 minutes.
After it, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until all the vegetables are soft.
Lastly, stir in the black pepper and chopped herbs (saving some for garnish).

Voila, remember to serve the soup while it's hot!

Melons has been known as the main source of potassium and vitamin C. However, do you know that by consuming melon daily, it can keep the bad breath away?

Well, it might sound like the fairy tales, but it's a true fact...Like many other fruits, melons have a natural substance, where it can be used to banish the bad breath (Now, you're understood the function of melons flavor chewing gums!)



Melons are in the same gourd family as squashes and cucumbers. Most melons are similar in appearance to winter squash. Both groups have thick flesh and an inner seed-filled midsection.

The main difference between melons and squashes is in the way that they are used. Squashes are consumed as vegetables while melons are consumed as fruits due to their much sweeter, juicy flavor.

Now, you've another reason to eat the melons

Many people keep asking me, "Wilson, do you have any best weight loss tips that work for any types of body shape?" Well, my responses to my friends/colleagues, "First thing first, it depends on whether you want it naturally or synthetically!" (Although, I didn't recommend them using the synthetic weight loss programs, as it causes many side effects in the end!)

Recently, I heard the public always discussed the miracle fruits - Acai Berry (Frankly, I can hear this topic at my workplace, shopping mall, cafeteria etc.) So, I'm becoming quite familiar with it.

For your information, Acai Berry is the fruit that growing on Acai Palm, where it is one of the palm trees family that can only be found in Central and South America. The Acai Palm can grow up to 30 meters of height, with pinnate leaves up to 3 meters long. Since the Acai Palms are fast growing palm tree species, thus it can be cultivated for their fruits and the superior hearts of palm!



Believe it or not, the scientists, physicians and Dietitians have named the Acai Berry as the "Number One Super Food" or "The Miracle Food of 21st Century." The Acai Berry is to be known as the best source of Omega Fatty Acids (Yep, its Omega Fatty Acids even better than the Fishes Omega 3 Fatty Acids!) Do you know that these acids are essential for the development of the brain, keep your body shape and muscle in the fittest shape?

I've used Acai Berry for over three years. The main reason I'm using Acai Berry is to help regulate my insulin levels and boost up my immune system, instead of keeping my weight in the idea level!

If you would like to know more about the benefits of Acai Berry, then you can spend a couple of minutes and read on these awesome reviews of diets right now...

The Purest Fear of HIV Disease

January 3rd 2009 07:34
Sometimes, life can be too tough for us to handle with. Honestly, nothing is more important than our health. By the way, can you ever wonder the life living in fear of possibility getting infected by HIV? Well, I can tell you that this is the most torturing moment and it’s totally beyond of your imagination…

Nowadays, although we can proceed the HIV test with the HIV Home Test Kit, but most of the people still didn't have the courage to do it! I have a friend, (Sorry, in this case, I have to keep some privacy for her!) where has been living in fear of having HIV. For your information, her husband was having affairs without the acknowledgment of my friend. She was only knew that her husband has been diagnosed as the HIV patient through the medicines that being consumed by him continuously. After the truth has been revealed, she was upset with his behavior. As a result, she has decided to divorce with her husband.

Well, it’s truly the sadness thing to have the unfaithful partner, but the even more devastated matter here is she afraid that she will have the chance of being infected by HIV! Just like many other people, she refused to take the HIV Test in the local clinic or hospital, as she doesn’t want anyone else to know this embarrassment condition. The fear of HIV has started to disrupt her daily life and she's was nearly being haunted by the HIV Phobia! She were very desperate about this matter. Hence, she has visited me two months ago, and has asked me the permanent solution for this problem.

Since she resists and don’t want to take the HIV test in the local hospital or dispensary, therefore I’ve suggested her to undergo a simple HIV test, by using the HIV Home Test Kit. Well, the HIV home test kit is very easy to be used and the users can get immediate result after only 5 minutes!

God’s always have his eyes on his beloved children. After three months of Window period, and a few time of HIV tests with the home test kit, the whole tests shown negative results! She was relief with the result and now, I can see her beautiful smile again…

A piece of advice to all the Orblers and my beloved readers, “always faithful with your partner and stay away from all the unmoral affairs!”
