Everyone needs insurance. I found a website that has affordable health insurance. I am so afraid to get the flu this year because I want to be able to get the job. There are no flu shots available for the healthy too. Sad that they didn’t make enough for everyone. Last year when I had the flu, my insurance covered all the bills. We are truly glad to have one. I try to keep taking vitamins and praying I won’t get sick anymore.

Today I watched this movie called My Life in Ruins. It was shot in Greece. This would have been a nice movie to watch in plasma tvs. I love wider and clearer screen tvs. It just makes watching it fun and makes me feel like I’m in the movie too. Anyway, Greece would be a country I really want to go to especially after watching the movie. Also, it would be fun to learn their language. That’s where most of the medical terms come from.

Cinnamon and Honey November 16, 2009

This was forwarded to me by a friend. I don’t know the source and I don’t know if they’re effective but I know honey is really good.

 

CINNAMON AND HONEY

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call “crystallizing”.   When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.
Cinnamon and Honey
Bet the drug companies won’t like this one getting around.  Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:  It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a ‘Ram Ban’ (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.  Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.
Today’s science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.   Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:
HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack.  Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat.  In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and hav e found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.
ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.
BLADDER INFECTIONS:
0A Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.
CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours.   As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.
UPSET STOMACH:

Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacterial and viral diseases.
INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.
INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ‘ Ingredient’ which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu. LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increase and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.
PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.
SKIN INFECTIONS:

If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.
CANCER:

FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.
BAD BREATH:
People of South America , first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.
HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

I am still maintaining my weight which is not good. I’m trying to find ideas on how to burn fat the easy way. The hard way is to exercise but it is the best way. Also, being discipline with what you eat is really important. I just had ice cream and a slice of chocolate cake from last night. Yes, I know. It’s not good. I have to be really careful. I am now getting older. It’s important I stay healthy for myself and for my husband.

I just got an email a while ago saying that boiling water with honey and cinnamon and then drinking it when you wake up and before sleeping will help you lose weight. I’d like to try it. I’m just a little lazy to do it.

 

Cool Down November 11, 2009

During the summer season, there were times when a ceiling fan is really helpful. It was so hot that it was really hard for us to sleep. People would hang out at the malls or go to their relatives who has air conditioning. Steven could not believe how I got used to the cold weather because I too could not sleep from being so hot. There was no breeze at all and people outside were smoking and loud. So I kept tossing around and it made both me and my husband frustrated. So we got a stand fan and it made sleeping better. F580VRBB

Ever need of a new vacuum motor? The lamb motor is one of the cheapest online shop for vacuum motor. I know guys would be interested in these. I see them  lot around my apartment using the vacuum for the leaves. Some have a blower too to keep the leaves off the pathway. Trees are shedding off their leaves during fall. I really like it when they’re dry. Makes you want to play with the leaves. It just rains a lot here so it’s hard to find the right time. lamb-ametek-motor-119412-lg

This is a really good quiche recipe. I added Turkey ham and I shouldn’t have added salt because it was too salty. It’s really good though.

1 onion, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
5 eggs, beaten
3 cups shredded Muenster cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch pie pan.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft. Stir in spinach and continue cooking until excess moisture has evaporated.
In a large bowl, combine eggs, cheese, salt and pepper. Add spinach mixture and stir to blend. Scoop into prepared pie pan.

Hanging Your Tv November 2, 2009

With flat screen television these days, it’s nice to just put them on the wall of our house. You will need mounts for it depending on how many tv you own. Usually, schools or offices use a lot of them since there are more people watching. They come in different styles and sizes. I don’t like bulky ones so much but if it keeps the tv from falling over someone then I am fine with it. You can get discounts of them too especially now. This is the best time to buy it.
