Every morning I go green

I get naked and smooth

That is a processed food and processed foods get oxidised and lose their enzymes. Just get the actual fresh fruit instead.

Tried a natural recipe as shampoo : whipping an egg (or more depending on short/long hairs), add a teaspoon of honey, 1 or oil olive, 1 or rhum, 1 of lemon juice. Mixing all, and add water (NO HOT), more or less if you want a liquid shampoo or a cream.

Prepare 1 liter of water with 1 teaspoon of cider vinegar.

Wet your hairs (with not too HOT water) and mass your crane with the egg mixture. Then wash it with cold water or hardly tepid.

WHY : because hot water will cook a tasty omelette on your head, and that's not the aim . Moreover cold water is better for hairs, it makes them shiny.

So when your hairs are well rinsed, pour on them the water with vinegar. Not rinse it, after. The vinegar will give a shiny aspect to your hairs. No odors, if you use only 1 or 2 teaspoon (evaluate if you have Jean Seberg's or Beyonce's hairs).

Precisions : if you hairs are dried, use only the yok. If they are greasy, the whole egg. If you have only used the yoke, put the white on your face as a mask, it is very good for skin.

Rhum, lemon juive, honey, olive oil, are accessories good for health. The real ingredient is the egg.

So I tested today and it was a surprise to observe that a thing which does not moss at all let your hairs very clean and healthy.

Have a lot of fishes, shrimps and shells to eat for the week, instead of eating meat. I will cook panga and shrimps with tomatoes, curry, green beans, and cheese cottage instead of yoghurt.

All recipes of fish welcomed for the 4/5 next days !

What is the difference between cottage cheese and yoghurt? both are dairy products and dairy products are bad for people of our age.

I don't know what is 'panga' but the rest of the ingredients are healthy. Fish is very healthy because the oil with the fish is not oxidised and fish has a lower temperature, easily digested. Red and poultry meat come from animals of higher temperature. If ones temperature changes to become lower the oil from red and poultry meat thickens and clogs the blood.

I just replace cottage cheese by yoghurt because I have no yoghurt in my kitchen.

By the way, if dairy is soooooo bad for health, Kurds would have disappeared for centuries

Panga is a fish called by a funny and poetic name in English : Irridescent Shark

I have both pure bottled fruit juice and fresh fruit

I enjoy eating everything I do not pay for - as long as it is not red meat

I love to cook with curry : tomatoes, shrimps, curry and curcuma make a delicious plate.

Tomorrow I will cook seafood, tomatoes, courgettes, with a court-bouillon & white wine (for the juice not to drink). And sole, also. All the taste is in spices : ginger, coriander, curry, curcuma, etc.

Concerning my hairs, now that I stop chemical shampoo and brushing, they are curling and curling more and more (rain has its effect also).

Luckily dairy product consumption doesn't harm immediately. It causes damage on a long term. A lot of people in Kurdistan die in early ages and hardly they reach sixty. During the old days, I could consider the diet of the majority of people of Kurdistan was really healthy. It was mainly made up of nutritiously rich grains like wheat and barley, some vegetables and fruits some times. They consumed dairy products and meat seasonally. They were not able to eat meat very often. But now Kurdistan is full of contaminated food.

That is my favourite food. I used to cook chicken curry, Bengaly recipe, very often. I have not done it for a while. I think I will do it this week.

My son like me has curly hair. The hair of his mum was straight. My grand children have wavy hair but when they take bath their hair becomes so lovely curly. The hair of their mum is straight.

Olive oil could help to reverse heart failure, scientists claim



Olive oil could help reverse a patient’s heart failure "immediately", scientists have claimed.

Oleate - the fat found in the golden liquid - could help a diseased heart pump blood more effectively and use body fat as fuel, researchers at the University of Illinois have found.

The most common reason a person may suffer from heart failure is when the muscle becomes damaged, including after a heart attack, through drug or alcohol abuse, and high blood pressure.

Shortness of breath, both during activity or rest; swelling of the feet, ankles, stomach and lower back; and fatigue are all symptoms of heart failure.

Currently, there is no way to reverse heart disease, and a combination of medication and lifestyle changes help patients manage their symptoms and keep their condition stable.

Scientists made their findings based on previous studies which show that a healthy heart absorbs fat to keep pumping, but if damaged the muscle can no longer process or store far – starving it of energy.

This means the heart is unable to work hard enough, and toxic fat deposits are left to clog up arteries.

Scientists believe that oleate helps the body produce enzymes which break down fat so the heart is once again able to absorb it.

"These genes are often suppressed in failing hearts," Douglas Lewandowski of the University of Illinois in Chicago told the Telegraph.

"So the fact that we can restore beneficial gene expression, as well as more balanced fat metabolism, plus reduce toxic fat, just by supplying hearts with oleate is a very exciting finding.

"This gives more proof to the idea that consuming healthy fats can have a significantly positive effect on cardiac health."

To make their findings published in the journal ‘Circulation’, researchers analysed how rats hearts responded to oleate or aplmitate, the fat found in animal fats and dairy products.

When oleate was pumped through a failing heart, scientists saw an “immediate” improvement in how the heart contracted and pumped blood, Dr Lewandowski explained.

But, when animal fats were pumped through the heart, the heart disease worsened and more toxic fat was produced.

The study is backed by previous research which shows a diet high in olive oil can have the same affect as statins in reducing the risk of a heart attack.

HAPIfork: Eat slowly, lose weight, feel great!

Eating too fast leads to poor digestion and poor weight control. The HAPIfork, powered by Slow Control, is an electronic fork that helps you monitor and track your eating habits. It also alerts you with the help of indicator lights and gentle vibrations when you are eating too fast. Every time you bring food from your plate to your mouth with your fork, this action is called: a "fork serving". The HAPIfork also measures:

* How long it took to eat your meal.
* The amount of "fork servings" taken per minute.
* Intervals between "fork servings".

This information is then uploaded via USB or Bluetooth to your Online Dashboard on HAPI.com to track your progress. The HAPIfork also comes with the HAPIfork and HAPI.com apps plus a coaching program to help improve your eating behavior.

Why is it important to eat slowly?

Originally developed by Slow Control for clinical or medical use, HAPIfork has today the potential to become a must-have utensil for everyone, available in every kitchen.

Since 2002, a series of scientific studies highlighted the negative effects related to eating meals too quickly:

Weight gain: as during the meal, satiety is felt after about 20 minutes. The faster you eat, the more you eat.
Digestive problems: food that is eaten too quickly is often poorly chewed. The work of the digestive tract is made more difficult.
Gastric reflux: several studies have shown that the faster one eats, the more likely the possiblity of gastric reflux.
Postoperative complications: eating more slowly lessens the stress on weakened tissues.

Are they helpless baby geese?
