Garlic milk : A medicinal drink.

This drink with garlic, is tasty, less hot, less smelly and very effective in fighting cold,sore throats, infections and RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS . Is your picky eater prone to frequent cold ? This is the right drink to enhance his/her immune system. Kids love it ! Garlic is still hailed as the best medicine for a variety of diseases. Its fighting mechanism in our body against illness is a very remarkable process. It helps in curing a wide range of symptoms ranging from infections to cancer. Garlic milk is helpful to reduce inflammation, stiffness and pain of the joints caused by Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis.

Ingredients:
1.A cup of milk.
2.Garlic cloves - 3.
3.Sugar to taste.
4.Turmeric powder - 1/4 Tsp.
5.Honey (optional) - a Tsp.
6.Black pepper powder(optional) - a pinch.

How To Make
1. Crush the garlic cloves a little with the sides of a knife or a garlic crusher. ( Note: Do not crush them hard. We want them in whole. We are crushing a little just to open the pods for the juices to flow out.)
2. Boil the milk with these crushed garlics in it.
3. Add the turmeric powder.
4. Let the milk,garlic and turmeric boil thoroughly till the garlic is soft when pressed. Keep stirring the milk so that it doesn't get sticky at the bottom. A tip here is, you can add a spoon of sugar and dissolve it in milk before it goes on heat. This will help in avoiding the milk sticking to the vessel.
5.Bring the milk to a warm state and add sugar to taste.
6. Drink the milk and make sure you eat those cooked garlic cloves.

If you like the taste of honey, you may try substituting sugar with honey. Make sure you add honey only when the milk has cooled down to warm state. Honey with hot milk kills the benefits of both. As much as honey soothes a sore throat,

Black pepper with its own unique medicinal quality adds only to the benefit of your body.

Turmeric powder is a medicine by itself. Like honey it soothes any sores in the body including that of the internal organs. It is antibacterial too.

Having said all this, I need not stress more on trying this drink for it is a culmination of all good things your body longs for when it is sick.
Enjoy the drink every night before going to bed for a peacful sleep !

Beware Maggi Lovers : Cooking Maggi Noodles in wrong way is very dangerous for health.

Many of us can't live without " Maggi " especially when one is away from home, in a foreign land. Here is a piece of information to share so that we can remove the potential health hazard of consuming Maggi. Maybe you should print this e-mail to keep as a reminder, pin it up in the kitchen or dining room as reminder or in your purse if you are always traveling.
Do Not Ignore This ... Especially those fond of Maggi...

Correct Way Of Cooking Noodles
The correct way to cook instant noodles without harming our bodies and health:
Normally, how we cook the instant noodles is to put the noodles into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes and then it's ready to eat. This is the WRONG way and dangerous method of cooking the instant noodles like Maggi. By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder,normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structure of the MSG, causing it to be toxic. The other thing that you may or may not realize is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you have eaten the noodles.

CORRECT METHOD:

1. Boil the noodles in a pot of water.
2. Once the noodles are cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.
3. Boil another pot of water, add the cooked noodles into the hot boiling water and then turn off the stove.
4. Only at this stage when the stove is off, and while the water is very hot, add the flavouring powder into the water, to make noodle soup.
5. However, if you need dry noodles, remove the noodles and add the flavoring powder and toss it to get dry noodles.

Note that packaged noodles are not healthy when consumed regularly in large amounts. Instead, cooking plain noodles and eating them with a well balanced sauce is the best way to provide carbohydrates and other important nutrients to our body.

Heart attack warning signs.

How can your jaw (and other parts of your body)* tell you if you have just experienced a heart attack?

*note: symptoms of a heart attack generally appear/occur on the left side of your body.

If you experience a dull, vague pain on the lower left side of your jaw which increases and decreases over the course of a few minutes, and moves around, this is known as “referred pain”. This pain is associated with a heart attack.

This sensation occurs when the nerves surrounding the heart become agitated, sending pain through the nerves in the spine to other locations in the body, specifically the left jaw, shoulder and arm.**

If your jaw pain happens in the morning, this serves as a warning sign that you’re at risk for a heart attack. Your blood is thicker at this time of the day, which causes blood pressure to surge, increasing heart attack risk.

Pain brought on by physical activity can manifest in several areas including the chest, jaw, left arm and shoulder, a scenario that typically indicates you’re having a heart attack.

Shortness of breath, a common heart attack symptom in women, may also occur. You may also get additional classic heart attack signs such as dizziness or nausea. In this case, see a doctor immediately.

Treating cracked heels and blackened feet

Put shaving cream on your feet.
In a bucket or sink, combine equal parts warm water and Listerine.
Soak a small hand towel in the solution of water and Listerine.
While the shaving cream is still on your feet wrap the wet hand towel around your feet and let it sit for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, use the towel to rub your feet. Some of the calloused and discolored skin will rub off.
Apply a healthy amount of lotion to your feet.
After your foot bath, is it a good idea to spend at least 5 minutes drying your feet. You want to make sure you do not put your socks and shoes on with your feet

still wet or damp (this can cause bacteria growth and infection). Use a towel to pat your feet dry and be sure to get in between the toes.

Also, give your feet a break from sandals (don't wear them every day) and apply lotion to your heels nightly to reduce cracking


Treating sore or smelly feet

Soak your feet in 1 gallon of warm water and 1 cap-full of bleach. This takes the soreness out of your feet and kills bacteria that cause the smelly feet.

You can only use this method three times a week.

In general, please pay attention to your feet. It is very easy to get a foot infection due to the fact that they get little air, they sweat, and they are in limited space in a shoe to move.
