Body Care Kits

AN INDONESIAN MAID SHARED WITH ME A WEEK AGO A WAY TO PRESERVE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES WHICH SHE LEARNED FROM A FAMILY WHEN SHE BABY-SAT FOR THEM IN KL. THAT FAMILY WAS USING "ALUMINUM COATED PLASTIC BAGS" TO KEEP THEIR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FRESH FOR WEEKS!!! ITS SO AMAZING.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO SAVE SOME UNWANTED RESOURCE WHICH MOST PEOPLE WOULD THROW AWAY WITHOUT ANY 2ND THOUGHT AND HERE I AM SHARING WITH YOU THE USEFULNESS OF THIS UNWANTED RESOURCE.

HERE IS THE TYPE OF ALUMINIUM COATED PLASTIC BAG FROM QUAKER. YOU CAN USE ANY OTHER TYPE AS WELL AS LONG AS IT HAS THE SAME TYPE OF MATERIAL.

YOU CAN PUT PLENTY OF FRUITS AND/OR VEGETABLES IN IT..

LOOK.....AFTER 1 WEEK.....THE VEGETABLES ARE STILL FRESH! AMAZING, ISN'T IT??? NO DEHYDRATION AT ALL.

LOOK AT THE OCRAS. THEY ARE STILL VERY, VERY FRESH WITHOUT ANY DEHYDRATION AT ALL.

BUT DON'T FOLD OR SEAL THE OPENING OF THE BAG. JUST LEAVE THE BAG OPEN AND IT WILL DO THE MAGIC WORK FOR YOU ALREADY. .....TRY IT OUT.....
YOU WOULD SURE LIKE IT VERY MUCH TOO.
INSTEAD OF THROWING THESE USEFUL THINGS AWAY, RE-USE IT AGAIN AND YOU WILL BE INHERENTLY JOINING THE GROUP OF "SAVING THE MOTHER-EARTH" CAMPAIGN TOO.

Prolonged sitting is bad for your heart

Do you spend more than two hours a day in front of a computer screen, TV or video game box? Then you have a higher risk of heart disease, say researchers.
Prolonged sitting - what some term 'recreational sitting" - is especially harmful to the health of your heart.
Scientists at University College London examined data from 4,512 adults. Screen time was defined as watching TV or DVDs, video gaming and leisure-time computer use. It did not take into account time spent sitting in front of a screen at work. The participants were asked if they have any cardiovascular problems.
People who spent four or more hours a day on non-work screen time had a 48percent increased risk of death from any cause and a 125 per cent increased risk of heart problems, compared to people who spent less than two hours a day on screen-based entertainment.
'It is all a matter of habit," said researcher Emmanuel Stamatakis, the lead author of the study. 'Many of us go back home, turn the TV set on and sit down for several hours. It's convenient and easy to do but it is bad for the heart and our health in general."
Researchers will now try to find out what prolonged sitting does to the body to increase the risk of heart disease. For example, preliminary research shows cholesterol levels may be affected according to whether people are sitting, standing or moving.
The study is published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
