I searched for food rich in natural testosterone and I was surprised by what I found out. I thought there’s no such food but yeah, we are just unaware of the food we eat everyday. Fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin A can help increase testosterone like apples, blueberries, cantaloupe, pineapple and citrus fruits. Vegetables like spinach tomatoes, carrots, red peppers and yellow squash have Vitamin A. Fish like salmon can also help. It’s good to learn what food have and what it can help our bodies with.

A lot of older people get eczema. It’s a medical condition where parts of the skin become rough and inflamed. Blisters can develop and will cause itching and bleeding. There may be a herbal eczema treatment but doctors also know how to treat them. It’s sad to see people have it and suffer from it. I just don’t like watching older people suffer since they already going through a lot. The loneliness, not being able to go out of a facility and then have all kinds of diseases. It’s hard watching them like that.

Since I won the contest on bare minerals products, I always wonder about using an anti aging product. I’m hesitant to use one because it’s natural for the body to age. I’m not sure maybe I could send my mom one anti-aging product.
I was so surprised I won the contest since a lot of people joined. Random generator chose me to win. I’m really happy because I don’t have to buy my own make-up set. It’s free! Who doesn’t want free stuff?

I always enjoy watching House and Grey’s Anatomy. It always interest me to watch something related to medical stuff like cell mass or how they operate and diagnose diseases. The human body is really fascinating. It can create it’s own defenses when it knows there’s something that doesn’t belong to the body like germs or other things that are not good for us. That’s why it saddens me to see people destroy their bodies by using illegal drugs or taking too much medications or eat way too much when they’re not suppose to. I fail to take my medicine a lot because I don’t like taking medicines. I just hope I can still go back to it because it’s going to help me.

Steven and I now have different vitamins. He is using vitamins for men while my vitamins is geared towards women because it has more calcium. Women need more calcium because we give birth. I know one friend who lost her tooth after she gave birth to her daughter. I also have an aunt who has osteoporosis. Her body is no longer straight and it looks really uncomfortable. It happened to her after she gave birth. It’s so scary.

Steven bought my nieces and nephew some vitamins. I’m really glad he did that because I know they need them. These are chewable and hopefully, really delicious for them. I remember when my mom used to make us take the cod liver oil and it tasted weird that we me and my siblings would hide until my mom will find us. Yes, it tasted bad but I’m sure it helped a lot in our growth. Now they developed more flavors and I’m sure it tasted better.

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:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.
GAS:

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.

yhst-17965644003626_2073_441267I saw these little kids at church who were playing with the bike parking bars. They really enjoyed it. It’s just like the dip machine workout. I check the video of it and I bet it will really help you develop strength and muscles. I can’t carry my body, I wish I can. This is a really good workout gadget. Guys would love this one and so will the kids too.
