Let's be healthy together


Good morning, I received this from our email group and I think it's good to share with my friends here. Hope this info helps to make us aware & more cautious . God willing, I will share some other useful tips that I have from the group emails

The top five cancer-causing foods are
:
1. Hot dogs 
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate. 
2. Processed meats and bacon

Also high in the same 
sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer. 
3. Doughnuts

Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer. 

4. French f ries

Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process.
They should be called cancer fries, not French fries,said Adams . 
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies 
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats. 

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS 

1. No Breakfast
 
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. 
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration. 

2. Overeating 

It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.. 

3. Smoking 

It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.  
 
4. High Sugar consumption 

Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development. 

5. Air Pollution 

The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency. 

6. Sleep Deprivation 

Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.  
 
7. Head covered while sleeping 

Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects. 

8. Working your brain during illness 

Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain. 

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts 

Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage. 

10. Talking Rarely 

Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain 

The main causes of liver damage are: 

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause. 
  
2. Not urinating in the morning. 
  
3. Too much eating. 
  
4.. Skipping breakfast. 
  
5. Consuming too much medication. 
  
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener. 
  
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit. 
  
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store. 

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.' 
  
DO TAKE CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH..................
AND PASS THIS TO ALL WHOM YOU LOVE & CARE FOR. .....................
SAFETY FIRST!!!
