Honey and Cinnamon

Cinnamon and Honey 
Whoever thought?

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: I t 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 ne xt 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 have 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.

According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:

1. Expecting the world to treat u fairly coz u r a good person is like
expecting the lion not to attack u coz u r a vegetarian.

Think about it.

2.Don't walk as if you rule the world,
walk as if you don't care who rules the world!

That's called Attitude…! Keep on rocking!

3. Every lady hopes

that her daughter will marry a better man than she did
and is convinced that her son will never find a wife as good as his father did!!!

4. So many options for suicide:
Poison, sleeping pills, hanging,
jumping from a building, lying on train tracks,

but we chose Marriage, slow sure!

5. Only 20 percent boys have brains, rest have girlfriends!

6. All desirable things in life are either
illegal, banned, expensive or married to someone else!

7. 10% of road accidents are due to drunken driving.
Which makes it a logical statement that
90% of accidents are due to driving without drinking!

Fwd: Obituary printed in the London Times - interesting and sadly, true

Obituary printed in the London Times - interesting and sadly, true.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Life Can Begin At 50/60 ... 70/80.

Many people feel unhappy, health-wise and security-wise, after 50/60 70/80 years of age owing to the diminishing importance given to them and their opinions. But, it need not be so, if only we understand the basic principles of life and follow them scrupulously.

Here are ten mantras to age gracefully, make life after retirement pleasant, enjoy and treasure the elder years of wisdom and intelligence at its best.

1. Never say 'I am aged':
There are three ages, chronological, biological, and psychological. The first is calculated based on our date of birth; the second is determined by the health conditions and the third is how old you feel you are. While we don't have control over the first, we can take care of our health with good diet, exercise and a cheerful attitude. A positive attitude and optimistic thinking can reverse the third age.

2. Health is wealth:
If you really love your kids and kin, taking care of yourself and your health should be your priority. Thus, you will not be a burden to them. Have an annual health check-up and take the prescribed medicines regularly. Take out a health care insurance coverage.

3. Money is important:
Money is essential for meeting the basic necessities of life, keeping good health and earning family respect and security. Don't spend beyond your means even for your children. You have lived for them through out and it is time you enjoyed a harmonious life with your spouse. If your children are grateful they should take care of you. But never take it for granted.

4. Relaxation and recreation:
The most relaxing and recreating forces are healthy and religious attitudes, good sleep, music and laughter. Have faith in God, learn to sleep well, love good music, and see the fun side of life.

5. Time is precious:
It is almost like holding a horse's reins. When they are in your hands, you can control them. Imagine that every day you are born again. Yesterday is
a paid cheque. Tomorrow is a promissory note. Today is ready cash - use it profitably. Live this moment.

6. Change is the only permanent thing:
We should accept change - it is inevitable. The only way to make sense out of change is to join the dance. Change has brought about many pleasant things. We should be happy that our children are blessed.

7. Enlightened selfishness:
All of us are basically selfish. Whatever we do, we expect something in return. We should definitely be grateful to those who stood by us. But, our focus should be on the internal satisfaction and happiness we derive by doing good to others, without expecting anything in return.

8. Forget and forgive:
Don't be bothered too much about others' mistakes. We are not spiritual enough to show our other cheek when we are slapped on one cheek. But, for the sake of our own health and happiness, let us forgive and forget them. Otherwise, we will only be increasing our BP.

9. Everything has a reason; a purpose:
Take life as it comes. Accept yourself as you are and also accept others for what they are. Everybody is unique and right in their own ways.

10. Overcome the fear of death:
We all know that one day we have to leave this world. Still we are afraid of death. We think that our spouse and children will be unable to withstand our loss. But, the truth is that no one is going to die for you; they may be depressed for some time. Time heals everything and they will carry on.

NOBODY GETS OUT OF THIS WORLD ALIVE!

Regardless How Far The Journey Is OR How Capable We Are, We Do Our Best To Reach Our Goal. This Is Perseverance At Its Best.

Don't ever change yourself to impress someone, coz they should be impressed that you don't change to please others.

Facts about Ghee and why it is good for health

Fact:   Ghee is composed almost entirely of saturated fat.  
 What you're already shaking your head with disgust??   Just read on and have patience.   Remember a good cook must have a lot of patience.     

Fact:   When cooking, it can be unhealthy to heat   polyunsaturated oils such as vegetable oils   to high temperatures. Doing so creates peroxides   and other free radicals. These substances lead   to a variety of health problems and diseases.  Hey now even vegetable oils sound scary!  Good we're making progress here. 

Fact:  Ghee has a very high smoke point and doesn't  burn easily during cooking. Ghee has the  more stable saturated bonds and so is lot  less likely to form the dangerous free radicals  when cooking. Ghee's short chain fatty acids  are also metabolized very readily by the body.  Hmm... So now aren't you confused?  Is ghee good or bad you ask with a puzzled look?  Be patient, just a bit more.

Lab studies have shown ghee to reduce cholesterol  both in the serum and intestine(aren't you surprised?!).  It does it by triggering an increased secretion  of biliary lipids (stuff coming out of your bile).  Ghee is also good for nerves and brain.  It helps control eye pressure and is beneficial  to glaucoma patients. I bet you  didn't know these,  did you?

Ghee is most notably said to stimulate  the secretion of stomach acids to help with  digestion, while other fats, such as butter and oils, slow down the digestive process and can sit  heavy in the stomach. You don't want that really.

In addition to ghee's nutritional value,  it is rich with antioxidants and acts as an aid  in the absorption of vitamins and minerals from  other foods, feeding all layers of body tissue  and serving to strengthen the immune system.  A high concentration of butyric acid, a fatty acid  that contains anti-viral properties, is believed to  inhibit the growth of cancerous tumors. 

It is also good for treatment of burns and  blisters; a little kitchen remedy there for y'all.  According to Ayurveda ghee promotes learning and increased memory retention. Make sure you  remember that. And it'll help you remember  if you had some ghee! 

However, as a caveat, while in a healthy person  consuming ghee may reduce your cholesterol  or not affect it, it not advised for people  already suffering fromhigh cholesterol. 

So should you eat Ghee or not???

If you're healthy, ABSOLUTELY. It is safer than  butter and has more nutritional use than oil.  No you understand how the Punjabi's  have tonnes of ghee and still are fitter and stronger  than any other group of Indians?  Go get some ghee you weakling.   

A high concentration of butyric acid, a fatty  acid that contains anti-viral properties, is believed  to inhibit the growth of cancerous tumors.

Although tests and research are still ongoing,  it has been used in Indian medicinal practice  to help with ulcers, constipation, and the promotion  of healthy eyes and skin. An Indian folk-remedy  for thousands of years, ghee is also said to promote  learning and increased memory retention. It is used  in Indian beauty creams to help soften skin,  and as a topical for the treatment of burns and blisters.

English-- super hilarious

English - absolutely hilarious/brilliant!
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
 

Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?  
Then one may be that, and there would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,

 
But imagine the feminine:
she, shis and shim!  Let's face it - Englishis a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
Neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
 

English muffins weren't invented in England .  
We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
We find that quicksand can work slowly,
boxing rings are square,
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing,
 
 

 
Grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends
but not one amend?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends
and get rid of all but one of them,
 
 
 
 

 
What do you call it?  
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables,
 

what does a humanitarian eat?  
Sometimes
 
 
I think all the folks who grew up speaking EnglishShould be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what other language do people
recite at a play and play at a recital?
 
 
We ship by truck but send cargo by ship...
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
 

While a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?  
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
In which your house can burn up as it burns down,
In which you fill in a form by filling it out,
And in which an alarm goes off by going on.
And
 
 

 
 
 
in closing..........
If Father is Pop,
how come Mother's not Mop.???
