Warm Water Lemon Drink Benefit

2013-03-04T01:45:00.002-08:00

1. Boosts your immune system: Lemons are high in vitamin C, which is great for fighting colds. They’re high in potassium, which stimulates brain and nerve function. Potassium also helps control blood pressure.

2. Balances pH: Drink lemon water everyday and you’ll reduce your body’s overall acidity. Lemon is one of the most alkaline foods around. Yes, lemon has citric acid but it does not create acidity in the body once metabolized.

3. Helps with weight loss: Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. It also has been shown that people who maintain a more alkaline diet (see #2) lose weight faster.

4. Aids digestion: Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials. It encourages the liver to produce bile which is an acid that required for digestion. Efficient digestion reduces heartburn and constipation.

5. Is a diuretic: Lemons increase the rate of urination in the body, which helps purify it. Toxins are, therefore, released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.

6. Clears skin: The vitamin C component helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well. It can actually be applied directly to scars to help reduce their appearance.

7. Freshens breath: Not only this, but it can help relieve tooth pain and gingivitis. The citric acid can erode tooth enamel, so you should monitor this. I admit, I’m slightly worried about it.

8. Relieves respiratory problems: Warm lemon water helps get rid of chest infections and halt those pesky coughs. It’s thought to be helpful to people with asthma and allergies too.

9. Keeps you zen: Vitamin C is one of the first things depleted when you subject your mind and body to stress. As mentioned previously, lemons are chock full of vitamin C.

10. Helps kick the coffee habit: After I have a glass of hot lemon water, I actually don’t crave coffee in the morning. This is weird, I can’t explain it, but I’ll take it.

The one thing I couldn’t find a concrete answer for is why the water has to be hot. Having studied Chinese Medicine, I can only assume that cold water likely provides a shock or stress factor to the body. It takes energy for your body to process cold and really hot water, believe it or not. I asked BluePrintCleanse how much lemon the recommend you put in your water. They suggested just a wedge or 1/8 of a lemon.

Tip: Drink your warm lemon water in coffee cups that has coffee or tea stains. The lemon water will help remove them.

Tip: Grind the used lemon rinds in your garbage disposal to help deodorize it.

If you drink lemon water first thing in the morning, how is it going for you? This is my bowl of lemons in my Tiffany Atlas bowl, which will be empty by the end of the week.

Karen Mok and Eason Chan in Badminton Olympic final 2012

2012-10-10T16:54:00.000-07:00

Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan Olympic match

The Olympics in London are coming to an end, the dust has settled after the nail-biting badminton match of the year,
but if you like me watched the live telecast of the match that day, and if you were eagle-eyed like me *perasanmax*,
you would have noticed an irregularity.An irregularity in the crowds.If you caught the 5 seconds pan-out to the audience, you would have seen this.

Xie XinFang, Lin Dan's wife wearing the Chinese team uniform. The irregularity was not the fact that she was the
only one wearing the China badminton squad team uniform in the crowd . The irregularity was the fact that sitting next to her is a familiar face, in the form of Hong Kong/Welsh singer,actress, Karen Mok in shocking pink!

The next time the camera panned Xie Xin Fang's direction, Karen Mok had undoubtedly made her way away from
the focus of the camera's attention (Xie Xin Fang) and changed seats. She appeared to have come to accompany
Xie Xin Fang.

The lady who was sitting one seat away to the right of Xie Xin Fang in the first picture, then took over Karen Mok's
seat for the rest of the match.

Even more preplexing.What was Eason Chan doing at the match. But most of all why did he cry when Lin Dan won? Or perhaps he was crying for Lee Chong Wei?

Erm.. i think his tears were for Lin Dan la.

Next question: Ok i get it that the camera kept panning Xie Xin Fang because she's the wife of Lin Dan and former Olympic Silver medalist (the commentators don't even know who Karen Mok is), but why U No Pan Wong Mew Chew?

I found a pic of them (courtesy of candyleow83's weibo), seated behind Lee Yong Dae fans.

These two are getting married too! London Olympic cameraman please do your background research! (Loving the Chanel bag btw).

Pros and Cons of Coffee

2012-10-09T00:46:00.001-07:00

The Pros and Cons of Coffee Drinking

Mmm... coffee, the aroma, the flavor. It makes mornings so much better! But is our daily cup of coffee doing more harm than good? There is a lot of research concerning both the negative and the positive effects of coffee drinking.

The "Pros"

Antioxidants. Coffee is loaded with antioxidants like chlorogenic acid and melanoidins. Antioxidants help prevent oxidation, a process that causes damage to cells and contributes to aging. Melanoidins from roasted coffee have antioxidative effects depending on the way the coffee is treated.

Parkinson's disease. Regular coffee consumption reduces the risk of Parkinson's disease. A number of studies [1],[2] have demonstrated that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are significantly less likely to develop Parkinson's disease.

Diabetes. Coffee consumption is potentially protective against the development of type 2 diabetes. A prospective cohort study as part of the US Nurses Health Study found that moderate consumption of both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes in younger and middle aged women.

Liver cirrhosis. Coffee drinking may protect against liver cirrhosis, especially alcoholic cirrhosis.

Gallstones. There is some evidence that coffee drinking may be protective against gallstone formation in both men and women.

Kidney stones. Coffee consumption lowers the risk of kidney stones formation. Coffee increases the urine volume, preventing the crystallization of calcium oxalate, the most common component of kidney stones.

Improved mental performance. Caffeine in coffee is a well-known stimulant. Coffee promotes alertness, attention and wakefulness. The cup of coffee can also increase information processing.

Alzheimer's disease. Regular coffee consumption seems to protect against Alzheimer's disease. Recent mousestudy showed that caffeine equivalent to 5 cups of coffee per day reduced the build up of destructive plaques in the brain.

Asthma. Caffeine in coffee is related to theophylline, an old asthma medication. Caffeine can open airways and improve asthma symptoms.

Caffeine safety. In 1958, caffeine was placed on the Food and Drug Administration's list as generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

The "Cons

Heart disease. The relation between coffee consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease has been examined in many studies, but the results remain controversial. Most prospective cohort studies have not found coffee consumption to be associated with significantly increased cardiovascular disease risk.

On one hand, diterpenes cafestol and kahweol present in unfiltered coffee and caffeine each appear to increase risk of coronary heart disease. High quality studies have confirmed the cholesterol-raising effect of diterpenes. Coffee consumption is also associated with an increase of plasma homocysteine, a risk factor for coronary heart disease.

On the other hand, a lower risk of heart disease among moderate coffee drinkers might be due to antioxidantsfound in coffee.Besides that, caffeine can increase the risk of heart attack, especially among those people who carry the "slow" gene variant for the enzyme that metabolizes caffeine.

Cholesterol. Heavy consumption of boiled coffee elevates blood total and LDL cholesterol ("bad cholesterol") levels. Unfiltered coffee contains two cholesterol-raising compounds cafestol and kahweol.

Blood vessels. Coffee negatively affects the blood vessel tone and function (increases arterial stiffness and wave reflections).

Heart rhythm disturbances. Coffee can cause rapid or irregular heartbeats (cardiac arrhythmias).

Blood pressure. Although coffee consumption is not a significant risk factor for hypertension, it produces unfavorable effects on blood pressure and people prone to hypertension may be more susceptible. Recent Italian study found that coffee drinking can slightly increase the risk for development of sustained hypertension in persons with elevated blood pressure.

Osteoporosis. Coffee intake may induce an extra urinary excretion of calcium. Heavy coffee consumption (4 cups=600 ml or more) can modestly increase the risk of osteoporosis, especially in women with a low calcium intake.

Heartburn. A cup of coffee can trigger heartburn.

Sleep. Most of us are aware of the stimulatory effects of caffeine. High amounts of caffeine taken before going to sleep, can cause restlessness and difficulty falling asleep, tendency to be awakened more readily by sudden noises, and a decreased quality of sleep. However, some people can drink coffee and fall right asleep.

Dehydration. The caffeine in coffee is a mild diuretic and can increase urine excretion. This effect may be easily neutralized by drinking an extra glass of water.

Dependence. Caffeine is a drug, a mild central nervous system stimulant, and it produces dependence. Caffeine withdrawal is a real syndrome. You may get a few days of headache and irritability if you choose to quit drinking coffee, however, it is relatively easy to break this habit, and most people are not addicted to caffeine.

So, what is the key? The old principle - "everything in moderation" - holds true for coffee. It is not bad unless you abuse it. Coffee has its downsides, but offers enough good points to make it a worthwhile drink. For moderate coffee drinkers (3-4 cups/day providing 300-400 mg/day of caffeine), there is little evidence of health risks and some evidence of health benefits. And for sure you can enjoy your coffee as part of a healthy diet.

Fruits and Fruits juice help cure Cancer

2012-10-04T17:05:00.001-07:00

愛惜大腸，空腹吃水果(台大醫院胃腸科王正一醫師的忠告)

多虧了有關這個水果和果汁的電子郵件
它告訴了一個治癒癌症的戰略。
我的成功率為80%。癌症病人死不了了，不管你信還是不信，治療方法終於找到了。

對那些用常規療法治療癌症而死亡的患者，我深表遺憾。他們中沒幾個存活5年，大多數用常規療法的病人僅活兩三年而已。常規療法沒有任何作用，因為不用常規療法治，病人也活兩三年。
癌症病人一旦用了化療或放療，他們的細胞就中毒了。就衰弱了。癌細胞就會因沒有強壯的抗體而得以迅速擴散。

吃新鮮水果
一說吃水果，我們就想到買回來，切成塊，大快朵頤。其實，沒那麼簡單。要講究吃水果的方法和時間
什麼是正確方法呢？千萬別再飯後吃水果，一定要空腹吃鮮果。這樣水果才會起到身體殺毒作用，起到提供身體能量，消肥減瘦作用，以及參與生化活動的作用。

鮮果是重要食物。
.試想，你在吃兩片麵包後，又吃了一片水果。本來水果是要透過胃壁進入腸子的，但被食物擋住了。與此同時，胃發酵，變酸，水果一接觸到它們，配著胃酸，整個食物就壞了。

飯前吃水果。
你會聽到有人抱怨：我一吃西瓜就愛打嗝兒，我一吃榴槤就脹肚，我吃香蕉愛拉稀，等等。那是因為水果與胃中腐敗的食物混合後產生的氣體造成的。但是你空腹吃水果，就不會出現上述情況。白頭髮、禿頭謝頂、神經緊張、黑眼圈，在你空腹吃鮮果以後，以上症狀一概消失
赫伯博士研究。因所有的水果到了身體變成鹼性，所以像桔子，檸檬這樣味道酸酸的水果，還是都屬於鹼性食物。
只要正確掌握吃水果的時間，你就掌握了問題的關鍵，讓水果助你美容、長壽、健康、富有活力，幸福和苗條。
當你想喝果汁，就喝鮮果汁，別喝罐裝果汁。
也不要將水果或果汁加熱，否則除了味道尚存，其他所有營養全部流失。

吃完整的水果比喝果汁好。
如果非要喝果汁，那就慢慢地一口一口地喝。
讓果汁與唾液充分混合後再咽下。
你還可以連續三天只吃水果不吃它物，這樣你的身體得以清洗，容光煥發，令眾人驚喜。

奇異果（獼猴桃）：小而精，富含鉀，鎂。維生素E，和纖維質。維C含量是桔子的兩倍。

一天一個蘋果，醫生找不到我。
蘋果雖含維C低，但它富含抗氧化劑並可提高維C的活性，從而有利於降低結腸癌，心臟病和中風的發病率。

草莓：人體衛士。
含有最強抗氧化力的水果大王，保護機體免遭癌患，血栓和自由基。

每日吃2-4個桔子：可抗感冒，降膽固醇，預防或化解腎結石，降低結腸癌風險。

西瓜：含水92%，是解渴最佳食品。所含大量的穀胱甘，能強化免疫系統。還含有關鍵的番茄紅素，抗癌氧化劑，維C，以及鉀。。。

芭樂和木瓜是維C冠軍。芭樂還含有高纖維，能治便秘。木瓜富含胡蘿蔔素，對眼睛有好處。

飯後喝涼水等於得癌症
相信嗎？
涼水能將剛吸收的油質立刻變成固態，從而影響消化。固態油脂在酸的作用下，變成小碎塊，比固體食物更易於被腸道吸收，並附著在腸子的內壁。很快形成脂肪，導致癌的生成。
所以餐後要喝熱飲。

女同胞應該知道，並不是所有心臟病發作都始于左臂疼痛。要警惕下顎的劇痛。甚至從未首先感覺到前胸疼痛。通常伴隨的症狀還有噁心，大汗淋漓。60%心臟病人在熟睡時發作，再也沒醒過來。下顎疼痛能疼醒，要細心，提高警惕。
我們在這方面知識越多，存活的幾率越高。

TRY 100PLUS & WATER

2012-09-14T02:34:00.000-07:00

TRY 100PLUS & WATER - NOT PANADOL!!!

DON'T TAKE PANADOL AND PANADOL ACTI FAST AND PANADOL SOLUBLE especially
if you have gastric problems FYI... One real story from a friend....

My husband was working in a hospital as an IT engineer, as the
hospital is planning to set up a database of its patient. And he knows
some of the doctors quite well.

The doctors used to tell him that whenever they have a headache, they
are not willing to take PANADOL (PARACETMOL) In fact,they will turn
to Chinese Herbal Medicine or find other alternatives.

This is because Panadol is toxic to the body, and it harms the liver.
According to the doctor, Panadol will reside in the body for at least
5 years. And according to the doctor, there used to be an incident
where an air stewardess consumes a lot of panadol during her menstrual
as she needs to stand all the time. She's now in her early 30's, and
she needs to wash her kidney (DIALYSIS) every month.

As said by the doctor that whenever we have a headache, that's because
it is due to the electron/Ion imbalance in the brain. As an
alternative solution to cope with this matter, they suggested that we
buy 1 or 2 cans of isotonic drink ( eg.100PLUS), and mix it with
drinking water according to a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (simply, it means
one cup 100plus, one cup water.or 2 cups water).

Me and my husband have tried this on several occasions, and it seems
to work well.

Another method will be to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water
so that it bring the blood pressure down from your throbbing head.

As Panadol is a pain killer, the more Panadol you take, the lesser
would be your threshold for pain (your endurance level for pain).

We all will fall ill as we aged, for woman, we would need to go
through childbirth. Imagine that we had spent our entire life popping
quite a substantial amount of Panadol (Pain Killer) when you need to
have a surgery or operation, you will need a much more amount of
general anesthetic to numb your surgical pain than the average person
who seldom or rarely takes Panadol .. If you have a very high intake
of Panadol throughout your life (Migraine, Menstrual cramps) it is
very likely that normal general anesthetic will have no effects on you
as your body is pumped

full with panadol and your body is so used to pain killer that you
would need a much stronger pain killer, Morphine??

Value your life, THINK b4 you easily pop that familiar pill into your
mouth again. Please send this to people you care about.

Apple iphone 5 Final LEAKED ?

2012-09-03T06:49:00.001-07:00

LEAKED !!Apple iphone 5 photo

For at least a year, it’s been rumored that the iPhone 5 would have a near-field communications (NFC) radio chip, which could eventually be used to support electronic payments or other proximity-based services. But a new iOS 6 app — Passbook — unveiled at Apple’s recent Worldwide Developers Conference is seen by some as a precursor to a more fully developed e-payment infrastructure for the iPhone, an infrastructure that may not need a chip at all, at least at first.

Let's wait for the official launching.....

Penang Food " Passions of Karala "

2012-08-26T00:11:00.000-07:00

Passion of Karala

Located in the center of Gelugor (Taman Brown) lies probably one of the best banana leaf rice in Penang. One probably won't know about this restaurant unless told about it or recommended by someone they know. It seems to be the only restaurant (and probably business) that operates in this quiet neighbourhood.

This restaurant is open from 12.00-3.30pm for lunch and 6.00-10.30pm for dinner. During weekdays, most of the customers during lunch time seem to be employees from the Bayan Lepas FIZ.

The main dish is of course banana leaf rice. The day I went, they served tomato rice, besides the usual white rice. So, I decided to give it a try. The vegetable dishes that they gave were long beans, pickled vegetables and mixed vegetables (brinjal, raddish, pumpkin and carrot in what seem to be tikka sauce) and pudina. For the curry to go with the rice, the main choices are chicken, fish and mutton curry. I prefer mine with fish curry, which was pretty good. I have tried chicken curry which is pretty good as well.

You can request for more potatoes with the chicken curry. I like mutton mutton curry as my side dish and fried fish. The good thing about this place is that they usually fry the meat just as you order it. So, the food comes hot and crunchy. They might have special dishes on certain days, so check out the menu in front of the shop.

The mango lassi drink is very popular here. I have to say, it is nice but a tad to sweet. You might want to ask them to put less sugar.

Mango lassi drink

Menu of Passion Karala

Overall, the food here is very good. The price is reasonable too. The shop is not very big (I counted about 12 tables on the ground floor). I think there might be more tables upstairs, but I didn't check it out. Unless you don't have a choice, I suggest that you should avoid the lunch crowd as it can get pretty packed.

Because it is quite hard to find the place, even when you have gone there before, I have drawn out the directions to the place.

MJ Micheal Jordan story behind a success

2012-08-21T08:16:00.000-07:00

~~~ 生命…因自覺而高貴 ……

他是黑人，1963年出生於紐約的部魯克林貧民區，他有四個兄弟姊妹，父親微薄的工資根本無法維持家用，他從小就在貧窮與歧視中渡過，對於未來他看看不到什麼希望。

那年他十三歲，父親給他一件舊衣服 :“ 這件衣服能值多少錢? “

“ 大概一美元” 他回答
“能賣到二美元嗎? 要是你賣掉了，也算幫了我和妳媽媽 “
他點了點頭 : “ 我可以試一試但不一定能賣掉 “

他小心的把衣服洗乾淨，沒有熨斗就用刷子把衣服刷平，鋪在一塊平板上曬乾，
第二天他帶著這件衣服來到人流密集的地鐵站，經過六個多小時的叫賣，他終於賣出了這件衣服，他緊緊的拿著二美元，一路奔回了家。

以後每天他都熱衷於從拉圾堆裡掏出舊衣服打理好後去鬧市裡賣，如此過了十多天，父親又遞給他一件舊衣服 :“ 你想想這件衣服怎樣才能賣到二十美元? “
怎麼可能？它頂多值二美元。
父親啟發他 : “你為什麼不試一試? 總會有辦法的“
終於他想到了一個辦法，他請學畫畫的表哥在衣服上畫了一隻可愛的唐老鴨與一隻頑皮的米老鼠 ,他選擇在一個貴族子弟學校的門口叫賣,
不一會, 一個開車接少爺放學的管家為他的小少爺買下了這件衣服, 那個十來歲的孩子很高興, 還給了他五美元的小費 ,
25美元, 這無疑一筆鉅款! 相當於他父親一個月的工資,

回到家後父親又遞給他一件舊衣服 : “你能把他賣到200美元嗎?” 父親的目光幽幽的閃著光,
這一回 ,他沒有猶疑沉靜的接過衣服 ,

二個月後, 當紅電影<霹靂嬌娃>的女主角拉佛西來紐約做宣傳 ,記者招待會結束後, 他推開身邊的保安 ,衝到拉佛西身邊舉著舊衣服請她簽名,
拉佛西看到一個純真的孩子索取簽名，便痛快的簽上自己的名字 ,他激動的一陣歡呼 : “ 拉佛西小姐親筆簽名的運動衫, 售價200美元! “
經過現場競價 ,一名商人以1200美元的高價收購了這件運動衫,
回到家裡一家人都禁不住狂歡……….

父親感動得淚水橫流 : “沒想到你真的做到了! 我的孩子! 你真的很棒!!”

這個晚上父親與他抵足而眠,
父親問: “ 孩子從賣這三件衣服中你明白了什麼?”
他感動的說：　”只要肯動腦筋辦法總會有的　　”
父親點點頭又搖搖頭：
　”你說得不錯！但這不是我的初衷，

我只是想告訴你，一件只值一美元的舊衣服，都有辦法高貴起來，何況我們這些活生生的人呢？

我們只不過黑一點、窮一點,　但這又有什麼關係呢？”
霎那間，他心中升起了一輪燦爛的太陽,
”連一件舊衣服都有辦法高貴，我又有什麼理由妄自菲薄呢？”
從此，他努力學習，接受嚴格刻苦的訓練，對未來充滿希望
二十年後，他的名字傳遍了世界的每一個角落 ,

他就是…麥可　喬丹 Micheal Jordan

我們的目標在創造一種特殊的飲食計畫，它必須比以前的飲

食法帶來更戲劇化的功效。假如你有第二型糖尿病，你不能

讓胰島素阻抗繼續惡化；相反的，你應該要採取制衡的手段
；若你是第一型糖尿病患，你必須控制好血糖、將藥量減到最低並且盡可能保持健康。

對第二型糖尿病來說，我們的目標在清除卡在細胞門鎖的口

香糖（脂肪）。第二型糖尿病的根本原因在於肌肉細胞內囤

積了少量的脂肪。這些脂肪藉由封鎖胰島素訊息的傳送而使
胰島素失去效用；也就是說，脂肪阻礙了胰島素迎接葡萄糖進入細胞的過程。你必須慎重選擇能夠逆轉此過程的食物。

全面改造菜單能防止我們被糖尿病的併發症纏身，這不管對

第一型或第二型糖尿病患來說都很重要。這些飲食改變不但

對健康影響深遠，而且效力無窮。你會和我們受試者一樣感
受到：本計畫指南是多麼易於實踐。我們完全不限制食物分量、卡路里或碳水化合物。你的焦點要擺在「食物選擇」，因此「分量」會自然而然在控制之內，不會超出太多，但現在講這些還太早。

首先，讓我們瞧瞧是哪些改變讓這份飲食如此有效。下面三

大原則能幫助你逆轉糖尿病、清除卡在細胞門鎖的口香糖（

脂肪），並給堵塞的心臟和血管帶來疏通的機會：

❶把植物油用量減到最低（橄欖油再好，還是有跟豬油一樣

的致肥力）

【小撇步】
●遠離油炸食物像是洋芋片和薯條。
●在沙拉上面淋上脫脂沾醬、檸檬汁或義大利陳年葡萄醋。
●使用不沾鍋。
●炒菜不用傳統式的油炒法，改用水炒法，也就是用水或其

他液體來炒菜。
●清蒸蔬菜。
●炒菜放油時，不要直接用罐子把油倒出來，請考慮改用油

脂噴霧器來噴灑微量的油脂。
●喝咖啡加奶精時，改用非乳製品的脫脂奶精替代品。
●看清包裝上的標籤。選擇的產品要符合以下原則：在產品

的每1分量裡，脂肪不超過2到3克，或脂肪占產品熱量來

源的百分比低於10%。

❷選用低升糖指數（低GI值）的食物（避免血糖快速上升

）

【大原則】
●豆類和同類食物都是低升糖指數。
●綠葉蔬菜也都可視為低升糖指數（雖然因為它們其實碳水

化合物含量太少，所以一般並未正式估計其升糖指數）。
●幾乎所有水果都是低升糖指數。水果的確很甜，但是大部

分的種類不會使你的血糖急遽上升，兩個例外是西瓜和鳳梨

，這兩者的升糖指數比其他水果來得高。
●義大利麵是低升糖指數食物。這雖然有點令人意外，但證

據確鑿。
●大麥、中東式小麥片和快煮米都是低升糖指數。
●德式裸麥麵包和黑麥麵包的升糖指數較低，但若是以小麥

製成的麵包，例如貝果、白麵包，甚至全麥麵包的升糖指數

都較高。
●番薯和甘藷的升糖指數和馬鈴薯比起來要低一些。
●早餐麥片中，燕麥粥和麥麩粥的升糖指數較低；大部分即

食冷麥片的升糖指數則通常較高。

❸排除動物性食品（減少脂肪、膽固醇）

【替代食物】
●新4大類食物
●乳製品的替代品：豆奶、米漿和杏仁奶等等飲料，最好是

選擇脂肪和糖分最少的品牌。現在強化鈣質的果汁也出現在

市面上。當然，這些所有的飲品和果汁並不是非喝不可，因
為其實在斷奶後，我們生理上唯一需要的飲料是水。不是蘇打飲料，不是果汁，不是牛奶，只要純水就夠了。
●蛋的替代品：假如食譜要求1至2顆蛋，多加入幾湯匙水

就有蛋的濕潤效果；烘培點心的時候，1滿匙的大豆粉或玉

米粉加上2湯匙的水可以代替1顆蛋；試試用和蛋一樣大小
的豆腐泥來代替一顆蛋。在做瑪芬蛋糕和餅乾時，可以用半根香蕉泥來代替1顆蛋，會有特殊的香蕉風味；要做烤素肉糕或素漢堡餡時，可以用下面的材料當黏著劑：番茄糊、馬鈴薯泥、沾水的麵包屑或燕麥片。

Toyota hybrid Vs Honda hybrid

2012-08-04T00:30:00.000-07:00

What is your choice ??

In today world Hybrid vehical are the most popular car for those who live in Malaysia where the feel fuel price are expensive and also the hot weather where you feel like sitting in a sauna room under the sun. With the occasional freak storm thrown in to liven things up, the population is getting more aware of the importance of environment preservation. Of course, having more disposable income from not buying so much fuel is one of the key considerations in going hybrid and coupled with attractive incentives from the government by imposing zero taxes on imported hybrid vehicles has made hybrids. If taxes imposing is zero %

Honda and Toyota has made the hybrid more interesting by fielding 2 of its cheapest hybrid models: The Prius C and Jazz Hybrid. Both claims excellent FC, exhilarating acceleration, low CO2 emmissions and excellent NVH. All these, for a price under RM100,000.

Lose 20lbs in 30 days?

2012-08-04T00:14:00.000-07:00

Have you ever think to lose 20 lbs. of bodyfat in 30 days ?

By optimizing any of three factors: exercise, diet, or drug/supplement regimen. I’ve seen the elite implementation of all three in working with professional athletes. In this post, we’ll explore what I refer to as the “slow-carb diet”.

Below are the simple rules you must followed…

i)Avoid “white” carbohydrates

Avoid any carbohydrate that is — or can be — white. The following foods are thus prohibited, except for within 1.5 hours of finishing a resistance-training workout of at least 20 minutes in length: bread, rice, cereal, potatoes, pasta, and fried food with breading. If you avoid eating anything white, you’ll be safe.

ii)Eat the same few meals over and over again

The most successful dieters, regardless of whether their goal is muscle gain or fat loss, eat the same few meals over and over again. Mix and match, constructing each meal with one from each of the three following groups:

Proteins:
Egg whites with one whole egg for flavor
Chicken breast or thigh
Grass-fed organic beef
Pork

Legumes:
Lentils
Black beans
Pinto beans

Vegetables:
Spinach
Asparagus
Peas
Mixed vegetables

Consume as much as you like of the above food items. Just remember: keep it simple. Pick three or four meals and repeat them. Almost all restaurants can give you a salad or vegetables in place of french fries or potatoes. Surprisingly, I have found Mexican food, swapping out rice for vegetables, to be one of the cuisines most conducive to the “slow carb” diet.

Most people who go on “low” carbohydrate diets complain of low energy and quit, not because such diets can’t work, but because they consume insufficient calories. A 1/2 cup of rice is 300 calories, whereas a 1/2 cup of spinach is 15 calories! Vegetables are not calorically dense, so it is critical that you add legumes for caloric load or eat 2x of vegetables in your meals to keep you from hungry.

iii) Don’t drink calories

Drink as much water and as much unsweetened iced tea, tea, diet sodas, coffee (without white cream), or other no-calorie/low-calorie beverages as you like. Do not drink milk, normal soft drinks, or fruit juice cause these drink have lot of calories

iv) Take one day off per week

I recommend Saturdays as your “Dieters Gone Wild” day. I am allowed to eat whatever I want on Saturdays, and I go out of my way to eat ice cream, Snickers, Take 5, and all of my other vices in excess. I make myself a little sick and don’t want to look at any of it for the rest of the week. Paradoxically, dramatically spiking caloric intake in this way once per week increases fat loss by ensuring that your metabolic rate (thyroid function, etc.) doesn’t downregulate from extended caloric restriction. That’s right: eating pure crap can help you lose fat.

Anyway I prefer regular exercise cause is important to keep our body in good condition.

Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE vs. Samsung Galaxy Nexus

2012-07-30T22:13:00.005-07:00

The Unofficial Comparison Guide!

Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE is an upgradeversion of Samsung’s best selling Android smartphone Samsung Galaxy S II (SG2) which has helped the company to beat Apple into becoming the new leader in smartphone and achieved an amazing sale result with over 10 million units shipped worldwide. While on the other hand, Galaxy Nexus is Google’s third generation Nexus flagship smartphone – a name from the co-branding between the Samsung Galaxy and Google Nexus brands of Android smartphone. Galaxy Nexus is the first device on the planet that will be running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE vs. Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which one have better fare ? Are you facing a difficuty decide which one you should be buying? see the below full coverage of the comparison between Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. If you miss out any of our previous comparison, you may check it out here: Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE vs. Samsung Galaxy S2. The Unofficial Comparison Guide! Motorola Droid Razr vs. Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The Complete Ultimate Comparison Guide! Samsung Galaxy Nexus vs. Samsung Galaxy S2 the Complete Ultimate Comparison Guide!

1.Design & Dimension

Galaxy S2 HD LTE: 129.8 x 68.8 x 9.5mm, 130.5g (4.60oz)

Galaxy Nexus: 135.5 x 67.9 x 8.9mm, 135.0g (4.76

oz)

In term of the form factor measurement, both Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE and Galaxy Nexus are almost the same with no significant different between both. e.g. Galaxy Nexus weight 4.5g more than Galaxy S2 HD LTE and the phone body’s measurement vary only by few mm – not a big deal really. While from our point of view, Galaxy Nexus has one of the most stylish curvy glass on the front panel of which really make it appeal from the rest.

2. Processor

Galaxy S2 HD LTE: Dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM 8660 Snapdragon CPU, Adreno 220 GPU Galaxy Nexus: Dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex A9 CPU TI OMAP 4460, PowerVR SGX540 GPU (@384MHz) Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE will come with a 1.5 GHz dual-core Scorpion processor from QualComm MSM 8660 Snapdragon while on the other hand, Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be using 1.2 GHz dual-core OMAP 4460 processor from Texas Instrument making Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE additional 300MHz more powerful than the later.

Why Galaxy Nexus’s TI OMAP 4460 Clocked at 1.2GHz Instead of 1.5GHz?

if you check out the spec from the table we provided below you will notice that both of the processor fair equally to each other e.g. both MSM 8660 (Galaxy S2 HD LTE) and OMAP 4460 (Galaxy Nexus) are using 45nm core with the same CPU Instruction set (ARMv7) and CPU power ranging from 1.2 – 1.5 GHz. But if that is the case why Galaxy S2 HD LTE can be clocked at 1.5Ghz and Galaxy Nexus get an under-clocked CPU at 1.2GHz? We found out an article from AndroidAndMe that claimed that actually OMAP4460 was supposedly to debut at 1.5 GHz but the folks at TI were having some hard time to hit those speeds so Google finally decided to clock it at 1.2Ghz. So if the crews at TI manage to get that 1.5Ghz clock speed resolved, you will start seeing the a more powerful version of Galaxy Nexus.

No Exynos 4212 for Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE

As previously mentioned in the Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE vs. Samsung Galaxy Nexus comparison, Samsung was planning to apply its latest 32nm Exynos 4212 into the Galaxy S2 HD LTE but due to the time limitation of the chip availability, Samsung eventually ops for QualComm’s Snapdragon S3. But it is not a good news for power user as 32nm core’s Exynos 4212 is far more superior than Snapdragon S3.

Exynos 4212 Specifiction
Exynos 4212 is come with a higher clock frequency and “50 percent higher 3D graphics performance over the previous processor generation – Exynos 4210″. Built with 32 nm High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) low-power process it promises “30 percent lower power-level over the previous process generation.” via Wikipedia

While for the GPU, SG2 HD LTE will be using Adreno 220 GPU instead of Samsung’s trademark GPU Mali-400MP and Galaxy Nexus will come with PowerVR SGX540 GPU that clocked at a higher speed of 384MHz.

3. Screen & Display

Galaxy S2 HD LTE: 4.65-inch, 1280 x 720px, 316ppi, Super AMOLED HD, Gorilla Glass Galaxy Nexus: 4.65-inch, 1280x720px, 316ppi, Super AMOLED HD, Other Fortified Glass – Not Gorilla Glass` Galaxy SII

Galaxy Nexus Both the Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE and Galaxy Nexus will have the same display spec (4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD screen and HD resolution of 720×1280 pixels with pixel density of 316ppi). But one thing you must noted, Engadget has confirmed that Galaxy Nexus will not come with a CorningWare’s Gorilla Glass instead it will be equipped with a fortified glass. While Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE will follow the legacy of Samsung Galaxy S II to continue using Gorilla Glass. We have compiled the info of Samsung’s AMOLED technology as below: Super AMOLED Display Info

Super AMOLED is the original display which added an integrated touch-layer to the classic AMOLED display. This results in a thinner display that behaves much better under sunlight. Super AMOLED uses PenTile technology
Super AMOLED Plus is Samsung’s more advanced technology – which ditches the PenTile in favor of the classic RGB Stripe matrix. So while the displays look better, they provide less pixel density compared to Super AMOLED displays.
Super AMOLED HD is the HD version of the Super AMOLED displays – there’s no technology difference, but Samsung uses this brand (they sometimes call it HD Super AMOLED) to make sure we know that the resolution is HD (1280×720, or 720p).

4. Memory

Galaxy S2 HD LTE: 16/32GB + microSD Galaxy Nexus: 16/32GBBoth the Galaxy S II HD LTE and Galaxy Nexus will come with 1 GB of dedicated RAM (much depending on region e.g Asia has reported to get 2GB of RAM while the unit in Northern America has reported to has 1GB RAM) and 16 GB / 32GB of in-built storage. But the Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE does come with an extendable microSD which can support up to 32GB while Galaxy Nexus does not come with an expandable memory slot.

5. Battery Life

Galaxy Nexus: 1750mAh Galaxy S2 HD LTE will come a 1850mAh battery, which is an additional 100mAh or 5.7% extra of battery life compare to Galaxy Nexus (1750mAh).
