Most delicious food

2017-09-30T10:38:00.001+07:00

1. Massaman curry from Thailand

Thankfully, someone invented rice, with which diners can mop up the last drizzles of curry sauce. "The Land of Smiles" isn't just a marketing catch-line. It's a result of being born in a land where the world's most delicious food is sold on nearly every street corner. Emphatically the king of curries, and perhaps the king of all foods. Spicy, coconutty, sweet and savory. Even the packet sauce you buy from the supermarket can make the most delinquent of cooks look like a Michelin potential.

2. Neapolitan pizza from Italy

the Neapolitans created a food that few make properly, but everyone enjoys thoroughly. Spare us the lumpy chain monstrosities and "everything-on-it" wheels of greed. The best pizza was and still is the simple Neapolitan, an invention now protected by its own trade association that insists on sea salt, high-grade wheat flour, the use of only three types of fresh tomatoes, hand-rolled dough and the strict use of a wood-fired oven, among other quality stipulations. With just a few ingredients -- dough, tomatoes, olive oil, salt and basil (the marinara pizza does not even contain cheese)

3. Chocolate from Mexico

The story of the humble cacao bean is a bona fide out-of-the-jungle, into-civilization tale of culinary wonder. Without this creamy, bitter-sweet confection, Valentine's Day would be all cards and flowers, Easter would turn back into another dull religious event. The Mayans drank it, Lasse Hallström made a film about it and the rest of us get over the guilt of eating too much of it by eating more of it.

4. Sushi from Japan

Brand giants such as Toyota, Nintendo, Sony, Nikon and Yamaha may have been created by people fueled by nothing more complicated than raw fish and rice, but it's how the fish and rice is put together that makes this a global first-date favorite. The Japanese don't live practically forever for no reason -- they want to keep eating this stuff. When Japan wants to build something right, it builds it really right.

5. Peking duck from China

Other than flying or floating, this is the only way you want your duck. The maltose-syrup glaze coating the skin is the secret. Slow roasted in an oven, the crispy, syrup-coated skin is so good that authentic eateries will serve more skin than meat, and bring it with pancakes, onions and hoisin or sweet bean sauce.

6. Hamburger from Germany

The bread-meat-salad combination is so good that entire countries have ravaged their eco-systems just to produce more cows. When something tastes so good that people spend $20 billion each year in a single restaurant chain devoted to it, you know it has to fit into this list. McDonald's may not offer the best burgers, but that's the point -- it doesn't have to. .

7. Penang assam laksa from Malaysia

Poached, flaked mackerel, tamarind, chili, mint, lemongrass, onion, pineapple ... one of Malaysia's most popular dishes is an addictive spicy-sour fish broth with noodles (especially great when fused with ginger), that'll have your nose running before the spoon even hits your lips.

8. Tom yum goong from Thailand

Usually loaded with coconut milk and cream, the hearty soup unifies a host of favorite Thai tastes: sour, salty, spicy and sweet. Best of all is the price: cheap. This best food Thai masterpiece teems with shrimp, mushrooms, tomatoes, lemongrass, galangal and kaffir lime leaves.

9. Chicken muamba from Gabon

The proper recipe calls for chicken, hot chili, garlic, tomato, pepper, salt, okra and palm butter, an artery-clogging African butter that will force you into a second helping and a promise to start using your gym membership. A bastardized Western version of this delectable Gabonese dish swamps everything in peanut butter. Oh, the insanity.

10. Rendang from Indonesia

Beef is slowly simmered with coconut milk and a mixture of lemongrass, galangal, garlic, turmeric, ginger and chilies, then left to stew for a few hours to create this dish of tender, flavorful bovine goodness. Tasting it fresh out of the kitchen will send your stomach into overdrive, but many people think it gets even better when left overnight.

11. Piri-piri chicken from Mozambique

The South African restaurant chain Nando's has made Mozambican-Portuguese piri-piri chicken loved around the world. But for the original dish, head to Maputo, capital of Mozambique.a finger-lickin' feast of chicken cooked with lime, pepper, garlic, coconut milk and piri piri sauce.

Most Expensive Drinks

2017-09-28T12:31:00.001+07:00

Mendis Coconut Brandy VS - $1 Million

Coconut brandy isn't exactly what most people would ever think of when they'd compile a list of the most expensive drinks in the world, but Mendis is a bit different like that. The company created one of the finest brandies in the world, right from coconuts.

Each bottle of this is brandy is numbered and signed by House of Mendis founder, W.M Mendis. Whether it's worth the money, though, remains to be said by the elite of New York City.

Diva Vodka - $1 Million

Not only is Diva Vodka one of the most expensive drinks in the world, it's also one of the most pretentious. This vodka is "gem filtered," which literally means that it's filtered by brewers in traditional ways, then filtered again through precious gems and then placed into a bottle that has a bunch of Swarovski crystals in a glass (read:nonporous) tube.

We'd like to point out that filtering your vodka through expensive things won't make it any better. But, if you're buying this vodka, would it really matter?

Russo-Baltique Vodka - $1.35 Million

The Russo-Baltique vodka line is actually a subsidiary of luxury automobile maker Dartz. The new line of Russo-Baltique Vodkas come in bottles made to look like vintage luxury automobiles, and each bottle's cap is made of solid gold with diamond inlays.

This vodka line is targeted towards Russian billionaires (natch), and members of royal families. We can totally see why. It may be one of the most expensive alcoholic beverages to be made in Russia.

Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Grande Champagne - $2 Million

Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Grande Champagne is the kind of drink that you buy just because it's expensive - and we're probably sure that the cognac inside actually tastes decent.

The bottle says it all. This million-dollar luxury item features a bottle that has been dipped in 24-Karat gold with a platinum casing. It's covered in diamonds. Oh, and the booze inside has been aged for 100 years.

It's literally fit for a king - just not a king on a budget.

Tequila Ley .925 Pasion Azteca - $3.5 Million

This Mexican-made tequila currently pings on every list of the most expensive drinks in the world, and at a price tag of $3.5 million per bottle, it's obvious why.

This still-unsold bottle contains over 6,400 different diamonds, all which supposedly improve the flavor of the tequila. Though it has been unveiled years ago, no one has felt like it was worth buying quite yet. Who knows? Maybe they'll have a clearance sale and mark it at $2 million instead.

Billionaire Vodka - $3.7 Million

Billionaire Vodka is made totally by hand, and only on demand, and we can see why. First off, every bottle is made in a microbatch using a top secret Russian recipe that guarantees smoothness of liquor above all.
Then, there's constructing the actual bottle of this thing. This massive 5 liter bottle is covered in 3,000 diamonds and Swarovski crystals. It's also designed by luxury goods legend Leon Verre. As a result of its high price tag, it's currently the top of the most expensive drinks in the world

Essential and vital to human life

2017-09-28T05:34:00.001+07:00

Water is essential and vital to human life and involved in practically all functions of the human body. Water inputs should match water outputs. Plain water should be the choice for daily hydration as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Foods and beverages both contribute to total water intake. Nevertheless, the water that we get from food is not sufficient to maintain the water balance. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) states that intake of water is predominantly through consumption of drinking water and beverages (80%) plus water contained in food (20%) - EFSA, 2010. On average, a healthy sedentary adult living in a temperate climate needs to drink 1.5 L a day

How much water is in the human body?

Also, the more muscular a body is, the more water it contains. Conversely, the more fat in the body, the less water the body contains – as body fat has little water.

Also, all our vital organs contain different amounts of water: the brain, the lungs, the heart, the liver and the kidneys contain a large quantity of water – between 65 to 85% depending on the organ, while bones contain less water (but still 31%).

Recommendations such as drink 8 glasses (glass of 200 ml for a healthy sedentary adult living in a temperate climate) / times of water a day, aim at providing easy guidance for consumers to follow in order to reach the daily recommended intake of water.
Juices or sugar-sweetened beverages can be drunk occasionally but not all day long for daily hydration purposes as they add calories, which may impact health when over consumed. As water has zero sugar and no calories, water should be the choice for healthier hydration.

Getting enough water every day is important for your health. Healthy people meet their fluid needs by drinking when thirsty and drinking with meals. Most of your fluid needs are met through the water and beverages you drink. However, you can get some fluids through the foods that you eat. For example, broth soups and foods with high water content such as celery, tomatoes, or melons can contribute to fluid intake.

Water : Human body's major component

On average, the body of an adult human being contains 60% water. Most of the water in the human body is contained inside our cells. In fact, our billions of cells must have water to live.

The total amount of water in our body is found in three main locations: within our cells (two-thirds of the water), in the space between our cells and in our blood (one-third of the water). For example, a 70-kg man is made up of about 42L of total water.

28 litres is intracellular water

14L is found in extracellular fluid of which

3L is blood plasma,

1L is the transcellular fluid (cerebrospinal fluid, ocular, pleural, peritoneal and synovial fluids)

10L is the interstitial fluid (including lymph), which is an aqueous medium surrounding cells.

Actually, the amount of water a body contains varies according to certain contexts : The body of a newborn is composed of more water (75%) than that of an elderly person (50%).

Water helps your body:

Keep your temperature normal

Lubricate and cushion joints

Protect your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues

Get rid of wastes through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements

Your body needs more water when you are:

In hot climates

More physically active

Running a fever

Having diarrhea or vomiting

If you think you are not getting enough water, these tips may help:

Young boy looking at a glass of water.

Carry a water bottle for easy access when you are at work of running errands.

Freeze some freezer safe water bottles. Take one with you for ice-cold water all day long. Choose water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages. This can also help with weight management. Substituting water for one 20-ounce sugar sweetened soda will save you about 240 calories. For example, during the school day students should have access to drinking water, giving them a healthy alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages.

Choose water when eating out. Generally, you will save money and reduce calories.

Add a wedge of lime or lemon to your water. This can help improve the taste and help you drink more water than you usually do.
