Sleep with lights on may cause cancer

KIDS who sleep with the light on could risk leukaemia, parents were
warned yesterday.
Scientists have found the body needs darkness to produce a chemical
that fights cancer.

Even switching the light on for the toilet, staying up late, travelling
across time zones, or the light from street lamps can stop enough
melatonin being made, they say.

The body needs the chemical to prevent damage to DNA and its absence
stops fatty acids reaching tumours and preventing them growing. Texas
University Prof Russell Reiter, who led the research, said: 'Once you
go to bed you should not even switch the light on for a minute.

'Your brain immediately recognises the light as day and melatonin
levels drop.'

Rates of childhood leukaemia have doubled in the past 40 years.

About 500 youngsters under 15 are diagnosed with the disease each year and around 100 die. A conference on childhood leukaemia in London yesterday
heard that people were being subjected to more light at night than
ever..

This suppressed the production of melatonin which normally happens between 9pm and 8am.

Past research has shown those most affected, like shift workers, had
higher levels of breast cancer.

Blind people, who are not vulnerable to fluctuations of melatonin, have
lower rates of cancer, it was found.

Parents are advised to use dim red or yellow bulbs if their youngsters are scared of the dark.

CORRECT WAY OF COOKING NOODLES

"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 method of cooking the instant noodles.

By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structures 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 taken the noodles.

CORRECT METHOD :

1.. boil the noodles in a pot with water.
2. once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.
3. boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire.
4. only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredient with the powder into the water, to make noodle soup.

5. however, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles and add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.

Please share this info and help save a life.

When to take Soya Bean Milk....

When to take soya bean milk?

All of us know that soyabean drink provides good protein to our
body...but many of us don't know that there are certain days we should
avoid drinking it.

Soya bean drinks are best consumed on hot sunny days when the sun is
strong. The soya milk will give lots of nutrients to the body as the
body is able to absorb the protein well.

However, avoid the drink when the weather! is cloudy or raining.
Taking the drink in these weather, the body will not be able to take
in the protein and will result in a disease called 'GOUT' or 'high
acidic urine' due to the high protein residue in the
body, after a long run.

This disease will cause pain to your knee joints and will only be in
control when you control your food intake of proteins and medication.
The pain is unbearable and usually you will have no idea what you have
taken to cause the pain. Food like soya beans, ikan bilis, broccoli,
spinach, peanuts, animal organs ( i.e. pork liver) etc will have to be
avoided to prevent the pain from attacking.

So my friend, pass this to your family, relatives and friends to keep
an alert on the pros and cons of soya bean milk and when it is to be
taken and to be avoided.

Breathing Therapy

CHECK THIS OUT


Breathing Therapy

我們有左邊、右邊鼻孔,吸氣、吐氣時有沒有一樣?
We have left, right nose, is that the same for inhale and exhale?

其實不一樣,可以感覺不一樣;右邊等於是太陽的意思,左邊等於是月亮.
Actually they are different, can feel the difference; right side
represent the sun, left side represent the moon.


平常頭痛時可以用手把右邊鼻孔關起來,只用左邊鼻孔吸氣、吐氣,約五分鐘,頭
痛就好了。
When having headache, try to close right nose and use your left nose to
do your breathing, about 5 min, headache will be gone.


如果疲倦、累了,相反的關起左邊的鼻孔,只用右邊吸氣、吐氣,不用多久,馬上
精神好起了。
If you feel tired, do it the opposite round, close your left nose and
breathe through your right n! ose. After a while, you will feel your mind
is fresh again.

因為右邊屬於火氣,比較會熱,左邊比較會涼。
Right side belongs to heat, so it gets hot easily, left side belongs to
cold.


女生大部分吸氣、吐氣在左邊,所以心比較會涼快。
Most of the girls breathe with their left nose, so their heart gets cold
easily.

男生大部分吸氣、吐氣在右邊,所以他們比較會生氣。
Most of the guys breathe with their right nose, so they get angry easily


我們起床時,可以注意哪邊吸氣、吐氣比較快?左邊或右邊?
Do you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or
right?

如果左邊比較快,覺得提不起精神,可以關起左邊鼻孔,用右邊呼吸,很快的精神
会好起來。
If left is faster, ! you will feel tired. So, close your left nose and use
you r right nose for breathing, you will get refresh quickly


這也可以教給小孩,大人用更好。如果你有警覺心的話,速度更快。
This can be taught to kids, but the effect will be better if apply by
elders.


當時每天晚上都頭痛,沒有辦法看書,有吃藥,也不是辦法。
That time, every night I am having headache problem, not able to study, I
did take medicine, but that is not a good way.

有一天晚上靜坐,關起右鼻孔呼吸,這樣子做,不到一個禮拜,頭痛好了!持續做
了一 個月,從那天晚上到現在,一次也沒有頭痛過。
One night, I sit down and close my right nose and breathe with left nose,
less than one week, my headache problem is gone! I continue to do it one
month, from that night until today, headache does not attack me anymore.


這是! 我自己親身經驗過,每一次我告訴別人,你們頭痛的話,試試看,因為我的身
體有如果,很多人試過也有效果。這是一種自然的處理,不像吃藥會有副作用,為什麼
不用 呢?
This is what I experienced myself, I told others, if headache, can try
this way, because this is effective for me. Many people have tried and it works
for them as well. This is a natural therapy, not like medicine, taking
for
long term will get side effect. So, why not try it out?
