EATING RIGHT?

Salam,

Here are some infos I collected from Mr S's talk last week. Very interesting topic which I hope will benefit all :)

How many people actually live healthily? You need to exercise, have no mental stress, have enough sleep and need to eat right, then you maybe healthy...

Do you exercise? How many people wakes up at 530 in the morning to exercise?
Most condos have pool. How many of you go to the pool to swim regularly?
A lot of people know exercise is good, but fail to do this.

He shared a story of his friend's friend. This guy is an active person, went to Japan to hike and likes to take photographs. He saw a beautiful stone and decided to bring it back home. He really liked the stone-he carried it everywhere, even when he sleep. 3 weeks later, he was diagnosed with cancer. Later found out that the radiation from the stone cause the cancer ( due to Japan's earthquake that cause nuclear radiation early this year). This is an example of the environment pollution that we can't avoid which can be harmful to our health.

 Everybody eat, but not many select the food they eat. However, we can see now that many try to stay healthy by taking health supplements. Since there are so many supplements available in the market, how to choose the right one?

Life Is...

I was at Borders. Reading a book. Can't remember the title tho :(

Anyway, I manage to write down a quote the writer mentioned in her book:

ESSENTIALLY, 

LIFE IS FOR LIVING AND GIVING,

FOR LEARNING AND LOVING,

FOR ACHIEVING AND ENJOYING,

AND NO ONE

WANTS TO WASTE MORE THAN THEY HAVE TO BEING SICK. 

Couldn't agree more. 

JIA HOR SOYA PROTEIN POWDER

As we all know our smallest form in the body is the cell.
Cell ->Tissue ->Organ ->System ->Body

So in order to have a good healthy body, we need to make sure that every 3trillions cells in the body are healthy.
What does a cell needs to grow healthy?
A cell needs:
1) Oxygen
2) Nutrients
3) Friendly 'watery' environment

All you have to do is to make sure all 3trillions cells have enough oxygen and nutrient supply so that they become healthy. Then, drink lots of plain water to make the friendly environment to the cells. Simple?

But how do new cells grow?
Human cells' life span vary from 7 hours to about 10 years. So we need new cells to grow after the old cells died. Protein is the base nutrient to build new cells. Source of proteins are from animals and plants. The best is from plant because it doesn't have any fats to go along. Let me introduce you to our JIA HOR SOYA PROTEIN POWDER.

Cup of Tea

Read this on http://www.islamicthinking.info. I was attracted to the picture first. Then I read on the story. Good Read. Good Story. May you benefited from this InsyaAllah :)

A group of students, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old teacher. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests tea, the teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of tea and an assortment of cups – porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite – telling them to help themselves to the tea.

When all the students had a cup of tea in hand, the professor said: ‘If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the tea. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was tea, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began eyeing each other’s cups too.

Now consider this: Life is the tea; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the tea Allah has provided us.’ Allah brews the tea, not the cups. Enjoy your tea.

Cheese Omelette-Jia Hor Seasoning

I have been experimenting recipes using our Shuang Hor's Products. Recently, I made cheese omelette. It was goooood. Do try it :)

Ingredients:

1 egg (organic preferably)

1 cherry tomato (diced)

1 baby carrot (thinly sliced)

1/3 sachet of Jia Hor Seasoning

Method:

Beat the egg together with the seasoning.

Heat the pan. 

Melt the margarine. 

Pour in the egg mixture.

Spread the cherry tomato and carrot evenly onto the egg mixture. 

Tear off the cheese on to the egg. 

Wait for the cheese to melt.

Fold the omelette into 1/2.

Finish! Yey.

You can enjoy this with:

3) Just eat it on its own. 

Bon appetit!
