Pumpkin Seeds
The best parts of the pumpkin are the seeds in my opinion from studying the Moors even though the entire pumpkin is full of nutrition. The seeds of pumpkins are not to be tossed, instead toast them for a truly healthy snack. So why did the Moors love the seeds so much especially men?
Bladder health: pumpkin seeds may help relieve symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which the prostate gland enlarges, causing problems with urination. Even several studies in humans found that eating these seeds reduced symptoms associated with BPH. Further research suggests that taking pumpkin seeds or their products as supplements can help treat symptoms of an overactive bladder.
Improve sperm quality: low zinc levels are associated with reduced sperm quality and an increased risk of infertility in men. Since pumpkin seeds are a rich source of zinc, they may improve sperm quality.
High in magnesium: pumpkin seeds are one of the best natural sources of magnesium, a mineral that is often lacking in the diets of western populations.
Heart health: pumpkin seeds are a good source of antioxidants, magnesium, zinc and fatty acids, all of which may help keep your heart healthy.
Lower blood sugar levels: animal studies have shown that pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin seed powder and pumpkin juice can reduce blood sugar. This is especially important for people with diabetes, who may struggle to control their blood sugar levels.
High in fibre: pumpkin seeds are a great source of dietary fibre, shelled seeds provide 1.1 grams of fiber in a single 1-oz (28-gram) serving. A diet high in fiber can promote good digestive health.
Improve sleep: if you have trouble sleeping, you may want to eat some pumpkin seeds before bed. They are a natural source of tryptophan, an amino acid that can help promote sleep. Consuming around 1 gram of tryptophan daily is thought to improve sleep.

About phone batteries
Your phone most likely uses a lithium ion battery as do most modern day phones. Lithium ion batteries are different from the old lead acid batteries, a technology that phased out with the old generation phones. The problem is that many people are still stuck with charging and battery maintenance advice meant for the old lead acid battery like letting the phone reach zero percent once in a while to restart the cycle and the likes. Lithium ion batteries are more advanced especially when paired with recent advances in mobile technology. Here are a few things to know about lithium ion batteries.
1. You can't over charge your phone.
For most phones as soon as your battery reaches 100% the phone disconnects it from receiving any further power from the power outlet protecting your battery. So plugging your phone overnight won't damage your battery if done once in a while. However it is not advisable to do it often because when your battery is disconnected from receiving power after it reaches 100, the phone even while idle will use up a small percentage of your battery forcing charging to restart. This repeated starting and stopping of charging could lead to wearing of your battery and also increase the phones ambient temperature which will affect your battery life. However some high end phones have built in technology that protects you from this. Iphones for instance have an 'optimised battery charging' option that can be toggled on so that your phone learns your charging pattern and holds your charging at around 80% completing the charge to 100 at just about the time you will unplug the phone. This is for those who have a charging pattern for their phones.
2. Consistently charging to 100% may not be healthy for your phone.
Lithium ion batteries charge in two phases. The first phase consists of a rapid rise in voltage from 0% to about 70%. The next phase is slower and the phone trickle charges all the way to 100. All the recent technologies about fast charging and super fast charging focuses on the first phase. You will notice that your phone takes a longer time to reach 100 from 70 than it takes to reach 70 from 0. The second phase poses some stress on the battery over a long period as it takes more time and energy to charge the battery. Some phones like the Samsung give you an option to restrict your phone from charging beyond 85% to help maintain battery health. However if you frequently drain your battery, this wouldn't make any difference. It will be like going to the gym to reduce weight while still eating junks.
3. It is not advisable to always let your battery drain below 20%.
Lithium batteries do not like to be repeatedly fully charged or fully discharged. This is why many phones will give you a battery warning once you get to 20%. Letting your battery drain then charging to full repeatedly will reduce the longevity of your phone. It is best to stay between 30 and 80% or thereabout.
4. The best way to charge your phone is to use the recommended charger and go at a slow and steady rate. Wireless charging, fast charging and super fast charging may be the new rave, and they come in handy if you need quick juice or for convenience, but you should strive to charge it via the traditional route at a slow and steady rate. It is healthier for your battery life in the long run.
5. Whatever you do your battery will eventually degrade. In fact every battery has a finite number of charge cycles. Nothing lasts forever. However you can help prolong the life span of your battery by:
●Buying good phones with efficient battery optimisation.
●Keeping your phones up-to-date. There are sometimes software updates that help with battery management.
●Avoiding high ambient temperatures such as leaving your phone in a closed car on a hot afternoon.

●Avoiding high ambient temperatures such as leaving your phone in a closed car on a hot afternoon.
●Geting as much time as you can from a charged phone such as reducing screen brightness, turning off Bluetooth and wifi when not in use and closing battery draining apps (android). It is always better to extend your battery life than going around with chargers and power bank. The more frequently you charge your battery, the shorter your battery's life span.
●Use recommended chargers. Because it shows 'charging' doesn't mean it is recommended. Check the manufacturer's specification. Good chargers are expensive. Many of those cheap chargers you buy reduce your battery's life span. Trading quality for cost always comes with a price. This is especially so for iPhone users.
Healthy living increases the chance of living a long life, it applies to your phone's battery.

Ever wondered what exactly is Coca-Cola?
Coke is the most valuable brand of history and "Coca-Cola" is the second most famous word in the world after "hello". However, the drink itself is absolute poison to human metabolism. Very acidic, the pH is only 2 points higher than battery acid. As a result, it is suitable (and often better) for cleaning surfaces in which we usually use toxic household cleaning agents.
Cheaper and easier to buy in some third world countries than clean water. Coca-Cola uses "PR propaganda" to convince consumers and entire nations that it is an "eco-friendly society", while its activities are actually related to pollution, water scarcity and disease.
Among people who consume soft drinks, for example Coca-Cola, the risk of heart attack and stroke is 48% higher than in those who do not drink such beverages at all, or at least do not drink them every day. According to a study published in the journal Respirology, drinking soft drinks may be associated with lung and respiratory disorders, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The carbonated acid in cola causes calcium loss in bones during a 3-stage process:
✔ Carbonic acid irritates the stomach.
✔ The stomach tries to “cure” the irritation the way it can, i.e. it adds the only acid bond it has: calcium. It comes in the blood to this.
✔ The now low calcium blood from the bones makes up for the missing calcium. Not doing so would severely damage muscle and brain function.
But the story doesn't end here. Another problem with Coke is that it contains phosphorous acid (not the same as carbon dioxide mixed with water). Phosphorous acid affects the body's storage of calcium.
So Coke softens bones in 3 ways (it actually makes them weaker and brittle):
✔ Carbonic acid reduces calcium in bones.
✔ Phosphorous acid reduces calcium in bones.
✔ The drink replaces calcium-containing alternatives, such as milk or water. Milk and water aren’t excellent sources of calcium, but they can still be considered sources.
Oesophagus cancer was very rare two generations ago, and now it's common. The basic mechanism works as follows:
✔ Mechanical damage of cells is a huge risk factor in cancer. This is the reason why asbestos particles cause lung cancer, for example.
✔ All soft drinks cause acid reflux (stomach acid rises higher than the esophagus valve). This is much more emphasized when the body is in a horizontal position (while sleeping), but in most cases, the amount of Coke and other soft drinks consumed means that acid reflux is well beyond the danger point. Whenever we drink a pleasant drink it causes burping and thus the acid enters the esophagus. How much is too much? The research doesn't reveal where the line is, it just shows most of us are way over it.
✔ Stomach acid dissolves tissue - this is its goal. Stomach mucous membrane is not found in the esophagus, so damage to the lower esophagus is much more common in people who consume acidic soft drinks than in non-carbonated drinks. This results in radical growth of cell mutations and much higher levels of free roots.
So what happens to our body after drinking Coca-Cola?
After 10 minutes: ten teaspoons of sugar are found in a glass of coke, which measures a devastating "blow" on the body, and the only reason you don't throw up is phosphorous acid, which inhibits sugar.
After 20 minutes: There is a jump in the insulin level in the blood flow. Liver turns all sugar into fat.
40 min later: Caffeine intake is finally ending. Eye pupils dilate. Blood pressure rises as the liver puts more sugar into the bloodstream. Adenosine receptors become obstructed, which prevents drowsiness. http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koffein )
After 45 minutes: The body increases the production of dopamine hormone, which stimulates the brain’s pleasure center. Similar reaction to what Heroin causes.
After 1 hour: Phosphorous acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in the gastrointestinal tract, giving an extra boost to the metabolism. Calcium is released with irrigation.

Koffein
A koffein metilxantin-származék (1,3,7-trimetilxantin, C8H10N4O2), fehér, keserű ízű, kristályos vegyület. A szó eredete az abesszíniai Kaffa vidék(en) neve, mely a kávécserje egyik őshazája.[2]
In 1 hour: The effect of the drink's urine enters the "game". Calcium, magnesium and zinc are removed from the body, which are components of our bones, as well as sodium. This is when we can become agile or dull. The entire amount of water contained in coke is removed with urine.
When we drink a cold bottle of Coke and enjoy its undeniable freshness, are we aware of what chemical “cocktail” we’re putting into our bodies? The active ingredient in Coca-Cola is phosphorous acid. Due to the high acid content, the containers used to transport the chemical had to be equipped with special containers designed for materials with highly corrosion.
Let’s take a look at the “anatomy” of Coca-Cola’s best-promoted products, the decaf Coca-Cola Light. This beverage contains: carbonated water, E150D, E952, E951, E338, E330, aromas, E211.
Water enriched with carbon acid - this is soda water. This disturbs the secretion of the stomach, increases the acidity of the stomach acid, and causes bloating. First of all, filtered tap water is used.
E150D - is a food colouring that is obtained by processing the sugar at a certain temperature, with or without the addition of chemical reagents. In the case of Coca-Cola, they add ammonium sulphate.
E952 - Sodium cyclamate, a sugar substitute. Cyclamate is a synthetic chemical, sweet taste that is 200 times sweeter than sugar and is used as an artificial sweetener. In 1969 it was banned by the FDA because it, along with sacharine and aspartame, caused cancer in rats. Later this material was re-legalized in a very suspicious way.
E950 - Acesulfate Potassium. 200 times sweeter than sugar, contains methyl-ether. This makes the cardiovascular system harder. It also contains asparagus acid, which can also cause arousal effects in our nervous system and lead to addiction over time. My acesulph is badly dissolved and is not recommended for children or pregnant women.
E951 - Aspartame. A sugar substitute for diabetics, chemically unstable at high temperatures, decomposes to methanol and phenylamine. Methanol is very dangerous as it can cause 5-10 ml of optic nerve damage and irreversible blindness. In hot soft drinks, aspartame turns into formaldehyde, which is a very strong carcinogenic substance. Symptoms of aspartame poisoning are: fainting, headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, heartbeat, weight gain, irritability, anxiety, memory disorder, blurred vision, fainting, joint pain, depression, infertility, loss of hearing and so on and so on. Aspartame can trigger the following diseases: brain tumors, SM (Multiple Sclerosis), epilepsy, Graves’ disease, chronic fatigue, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, mental deficiency and tuberculosis.
E338 - Phosphorous Acid. This can cause skin and eye irritation. This is used to produce salts of ammonia, sodium, calcium, aluminum phosphorous acid and in the organic synthesis of charcoal and film tapes. They are also used in heat resistant materials, ceramics, glass, fertilizers, synthetic cleaning agents, drug production, metal processing, and in the textile and oil industries. It is known that phosphorous acid interferes with the absorption of calcium and iron in the body, which can cause bone weakness and bone loss. Other side effects are thirst and skin rashes.
E330 - Citrus Acid. It is widely used in pharmaceutical and food industry. Citric acid salts (citrates) are used in the food industry, for example, with acids, preservatives, as stabilizers and in the medical field to preserve blood.
Aromas - unknown aroma additives
E211 - Sodium benzoate. This is used in the production of food products for antibacterial and fungal purposes. It often happens in jams, juices and fruit yoghurts. Not recommended for those with asthma and those who are sensitive to aspirin. A study by Peter Piper (University of Sheffield, Great Britain) found that this compound causes significant damage in DNA. According to Peter, sodium-benzoate, which is an active ingredient in preservatives, does not destroy DNA but shuts it off.

If you can't imagine life without Coca-Cola, consider the following:
Many Coca-Cola distributors in America use this drink to clean truck engines.
In America, many police cars have Coca-Cola bottles and when a car accident happens, they use it to wash the blood off the road.
Coca-Cola is a great product for removing rust spots from the chrome surfaces of cars. To remove corrosion from a car battery, just pour coke on it and corrosion disappears.
To free a rusty screw, dip a piece of cloth in Coca-Cola and roll it around the screw for a few minutes.
To remove stains from clothes - pour Coca-Cola on the dirty clothes, add detergent and start the washing machine as usual. You will be surprised at the results.
Some farmers in India use Coca-Cola instead of pesticides for insecticide because it is cheaper and the effect is very similar.
Coca-Cola is undeniably a very useful product. The most important thing is that you use it for purposes, that do not include its consumption!

Bay leaves are a common aromatic added to dishes in almost every cuisine throughout the world. The bay leaf comes in many varieties around the world including the California bay leaf, Indian bay leaf, Indonesian bay leaf or Indonesian laurel, West Indian bay leaf, Mexican bay leaf and bay laurel. The dried bay leaves you find in your supermarket are usually from the Laurus nobilis found in Turkey and countries located in the Mediterranean region. I personally burn dried bay leaves at home once a month as the smells relaxes my muscles and eases tensions.
When purchasing, look for dried bay leaves that are free of cracks, tears and blemishes. For fresh leaves, look for bright green and waxy leaves that allow twisting without tearing.
California bay leaves are much stronger in flavour so use about half the amount that a recipe calls for.
Bay leaves were used by ancient Greek's where wreaths of laurel were made to crown victorious athletes, which inspired the famous crown for the winners of the Olympics.
Bay leaves have been traditionally added to meat dishes for their ability to convert triglycerides to monounsaturated fats, making for easier and healthier digestion.
In TICM, bay leaves benefit the Lungs and Stomach with a pungent and bitter flavour. Bay leaves work by soothing the Stomach and Lung, disperse and dissolving dampness and calming Spirit. More benefits of these leaves include helping digestion, bloating or that full feeling, cooling sore throat and coughs, dissolving mucous in the nasal passages and helping with asthma and congested chest. They can also help in the relief of heartburn, constipation and even anxiety. For anxiety, burn dried leaves.
The reason bay leaves are very useful in treating colds, flu and severe cough is due to the fact of the leaves are a rich source of vitamin C. To enjoy these benefits, simply boil the leaves and inhale the steam to get rid of phlegm and reduce the severity of cough.

Don't get X-Ray done just because your Doctor says until it is entirely necessary.
X-rays can cause mutations in our DNA and, therefore, might lead to cancer later in life. For this reason, X-rays are classified as a carcinogen by both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States government. However, the benefits of X-ray technology far outweigh the potential negative consequences of using them.
It is estimated that 0.4 percent of cancers in the U.S. are caused by CT scans.Some scientists expect this level to rise in parallel with the increased use of CT scans in medical procedures. At least 62 million CT scans were carried out in America in 2007.
According to one study, by the age of 75 years, X-rays will increase the risk of cancer by 0.6 to 1.8 percent. In other words, the risks are minimal compared to the benefits of medical imaging.
Each procedure has a different associated risk that depends on the type of X-ray and the part of the body being imaged. The list below shows some of the more common imaging procedures and compares the radiation dose to the normal background radiation that all people encounter on a daily basis.
Different X-ray procedures release different quantities of radiation.
Chest X-ray:
Equivalent to 2.4 days of natural background radiation
Skull X-ray:
Equivalent to 12 days of natural background radiation
Lumbar spine:
Equivalent to 182 days of natural background radiation
IV urogram:
Equivalent to 1 year of natural background radiation
Upper gastrointestinal exam:
Equivalent to 2 years of natural background radiation
Barium enema:
Equivalent to 2.7 years of natural background radiation
CT head:
Equivalent to 243 days of natural background radiation
CT abdomen:
Equivalent to 2.7 years of natural background radiation.
These radiation figures are for adults. Children are more susceptible to the radioactive effects of X-rays.

Teeth Whitening/Bleaching
We all want amazing white teeth but in my opinion bleaching teeth should not be an option. A bit like botox, you have to repeat the procedure every few months, which leads to weak and brittle teeth plus other health issues. Teeth are an extension of bone, bones are related to the Kidneys in TICM.
So what is my solution for teeth whitening? I think everyone by now must know that ginger is my favourite herb! So when you think of the benefits of ginger, oral health may not be the first thing to come to mind.
Ginger’s antibacterial properties kill germs and bacteria that hide between the teeth and the gums. It is able to keep plaque and bacterial buildup at bay while promoting a pearly white smile.
It is known as a home remedy for toothaches because of its high anti-inflammatory content.
Ginger extract is easily used to apply to your toothbrush or directly on the aching tooth, and because of its formulation, it is much more potent than fresh or raw ginger.
Ginger can reduce your risk of gingivitis, gum disease, and oral cancers.

😮15 SHOCKING FACTS ABOUT VITAMIN D😮
Vitamin D is perhaps the single most *Underrated Nutrient* in the world of nutrition.
That's probably because it's free....
Your body makes it when sunlight touches your skin !!
Drug companies can't sell you sunlight, so there's no promotion of its health benefits..
The truth is, most people don't know the real story on "vitamin D and health."
So here's an overview taken from an interview between Mike Adams and *Dr.Michael Holick*.
◆ 1. Vitamin D is *produced by your skin* in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation *from natural sunlight*.
◆ 2. The healing rays of natural sunlight (that generate vitamin D in your skin) *cannot penetrate glass*.
So you don't generate vitamin D when sitting in your car or home.
◆ 3. It is nearly impossible to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from your diet. *Sunlight exposure is the only reliable way* to generate vitamin D in your own body.
◆ 4. A person would have to drink *ten tall glasses* of vitamin D fortified milk each day just to get minimum levels of vitamin D into their diet.
◆ 5. The further you live from the equator, the longer exposure you need to the sun in order to generate vitamin D. Canada, the UK and most U.S. States are far from the equator.
◆ 6. People with dark skin pigmentation may need 20 - 30 times as much exposure to sunlight as fair-skinned people to generate the same amount of vitamin D.
That's why prostate cancer is epidemic among black men -- it's a simple, but widespread, sunlight deficiency.
◆ 7. Sufficient levels of vitamin D are *crucial for calcium absorption* in your intestines. Without sufficient vitamin D, your body cannot absorb calcium, rendering calcium supplements useless.
◆ 8. Chronic vitamin D *deficiency cannot be reversed overnight*: it takes months of vitamin D supplementation and sunlight exposure to rebuild the body's bones and nervous system.
◆ 9. Even weak *sunscreens (SPF=8) block* your body's ability to generate vitamin D by 95%. This is how sunscreen products actually cause disease -by creating a critical vitamin deficiency in the body.
◆ 10. It is impossible to generate too much vitamin D in your body from sunlight exposure: your body will self-regulate and only generate what it needs.
◆ 11. If it hurts to press firmly on your sternum(chest/breast bone), you may be suffering from chronic vitamin D deficiency right now.
◆ 12. Vitamin D is "activated" in your body by your *kidneys and liver* before it can be used.
◆ 13. Having kidney disease or liver damage can greatly impair your body's ability to activate circulating vitamin D.
◆ 14. The sunscreen industry doesn't want you to know that your body actually needs sunlight exposure because that realization would mean lower sales of sunscreen products.
◆ 15. Even though vitamin D is one of the *most powerful healing chemicals in your body*, your body makes it absolutely free. No prescription required.
~ Other powerful *antioxidants* with this ability include the
super fruits like Pomegranates (POM Wonderful juice),
Acai, Blueberries, etc.
~ Diseases and conditions cause by vitamin D deficiency:
● Osteoporosis is commonly caused by a lack of vitamin D, which greatly impairs calcium absorption.
● Sufficient vitamin D prevents
prostate cancer,
breast cancer,
ovarian cancer,
depression,
colon cancer and
schizophrenia..
● "Rickets" is the name of a bone-wasting disease caused by vitamin D deficiency.
● Vitamin D deficiency may *exacerbate* type 2 diabetes and impair insulin production in the pancreas.
● Obesity impairs vitamin D utilization in the body, meaning obese people *need twice* as much vitamin D.
● Vitamin D is used around the world to treat *Psoriasis*(a chronic skin disease).
● Vitamin D deficiency can cause ~
schizophrenia.
● Seasonal Affective Disorder is caused by a melatonin imbalance initiated by lack of exposure to sunlight.
● Chronic vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed as "fibro myalgia" because its symptoms are so similar: *lmuscle weakness, aches and pains.
