Onion Socks




Onions are considered a natural remedy for various illnesses, and are known for their magical healing power. They are also known as natural air purifiers, and when applied directly to the skin, they tend to remove the bacteria and kill the germs. The phosphoric acid (the substance that irritates our eyes while chopping onions) present in onions helps in purifying the blood as it enters the blood vessels.

You have nothing to lose by giving this onion and sock therapy a try! It comes with a number of benefits. As you sleep, the healing properties of the onions will be absorbed by the feet, and this will help in stimulating the meridians.

Here’s How You Can Do It:

·         Take an onion (red or white) and cut it into thin and flat slices (make sure it’s an organic onion to avoid any side effects of pesticides like fungal infections).

·         Place the onion slice in your socks (under your foot, like a platform), and sleep as you usually do.

Benefits are:

·         Blood purification.
·         Removal of germs and bacteria.
·         Elimination of toxins and chemicals from the feet and making them smell better (believe it or not, it works!)
·         Alleviating symptoms of fever like cold and flu.

However, reusing the same onion slice is not at all recommended. So, be careful about that.
Were you aware of the fact that the bottom areas of your feet have direct access points to all the internal organs in your body? As per Chinese medicine terminology, these access points are known as meridians, and they form the pathways to each organ in the body. There has been an age old controversy regarding the existence of meridians, but those who are well versed with the Chinese medicine know that the meridian system is very closely related to our body’s nervous system.  Experts say that there are about 7,000 meridians at the bottom of our feet that directly link to different organs! Can you believe that?
The image below clearly represents the meridians and their connection points with the organs and systems within the body.

Family isn't always blood

Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs, the ones who accept you for who you are. 

The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what. So be thankful for what you have. 

Don't wait until its too late to tell someone how much you love them and how much you care about them, because when they're gone, no matter how loud you shout and cry, they wont hear you anymore.

Snake Love


There once was a woman who had a pet snake that she loved very much. 
The snake was about 7 feet long and one day it just stopped eating. 
After several weeks of trying everything she could to get the snake to eat, the woman took it to the vet. 
The woman explained the situation to the vet and he asked her,
 "Has your snake been sleeping with you at night or snuggling really close and stretching himself out?
" The woman replied, "Yes he's been doing it everyday and it makes me so sad that I can't help him feel better."
The vet says "Ma'am your snake is not sick, he has been preparing to eat you. 
He's been sizing you up everyday so he knows how big he has to be, and not eating so he has enough room to digest you.
Moral of the story: 
You've gotta recognize the snakes out there in your life.
Just because they seem close to you  it doesn't mean their intentions are good.
 Even Judas gave the first kiss.

Meat and Cancer

Bacon, burgers and sausages are as big a cancer threat as cigarettes, global health chiefs warned today.A new World Health Organisation report has classified processed meat as carcinogenic alongside arsenic and asbestos.

Officials said just 50g of processed meat a day – less than one sausage – increases the risk of bowel cancer by almost a fifth.

The report also classified red meat as ‘probably carcinogenic’ – one rank below – but added that it had some nutritional benefits.

Experts are now urging the public to avoid processed meat where possible and to have a bean salad for lunch rather than a BLT.

What Happens to Your Body One Hour After Eating a Big Mac?

The graphic, from website Fast Food Menu Price, breaks down exactly what the Big Mac does to your body within an hour of eating it.
It’s not pretty: Among other things, the iconic burger raises your blood sugar, dehydrates you, and makes you feel hungry again just 40 minutes after eating it.
In the first 10 minutes: The Big Mac (and its 540 calories) raises your blood sugar to abnormal levels.
After 20 minutes: The Big Mac’s bun has high levels of high-fructose corn syrup and sodium — both of which are addictive and make your body crave more.
After 30 minutes: The burger’s 970 milligrams of sodium can cause dehydration.  This can cause high blood pressure and can ultimately lead to heart disease and stroke.
After 40 minutes: You start to feel hungry again. When you eat a high calorie meal, your body’s insulin response can bring down your glucose levels, causing you to want to eat more. The bun’s high-fructose corn syrup is quickly absorbed by your GI tract, creating insulin spikes and even bigger hunger pangs.
After 60 minutes: Your body typically takes 24 to 72 hours to digest food, but burgers can take more time because they are greasier. The Big Mac can take more than three days to fully digest.
