7 dont’s after a meal

• Don’t smoke - experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).
• Don’t eat fruits immediately – immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.
• Don’t drink tea – because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.
• Don’t loosen your belt – Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.
• Don’t bathe – bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.
• Don’t walk about – people always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
• Don’t sleep immediately – food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

MJ’s Top10 Songs in Time Magazine

Beat It – Jackson never got much credit for being a pioneer, but his melding of rock and R&B preceded the meeting of Run-D.M.C. and Aerosmith by four years. Besides featuring one of the best guitar solos in pop history (provided free of charge by Eddie Van Halen, in a move his accountant no doubt regrets) it’s the best example of Jackson’s ability to bridge moods and genres. It’s tense and spooky, it rocks, and yet you can’t help but to dance to it. It’s Jackson’s best.

Man in the Mirror – Jackson’s catalog is so deep that people tend to overlook this simple midtempo ballad from Bad. But beyond offering a fleeting glimpse of autobiography (“I’m starting with the man in the mirror/ I’m asking him to change his ways”), it’s one of Jackson’s most powerful vocals and accessible social statements, not to mention the best-ever use of a gospel choir in a pop song.

I Want You Back – Even with everything we know about Jackson as an adult, only a person with the hardest of hearts could hear the chord progression of the Jackson 5′s greatest song and not get up and dance. The effortlessness with which Jackson fuses the influence of Sly Stone and James Brown with his own innocent yelping is part of the appeal, but the whole song flies by with a whimsy and sweetness that was Jackson’s calling card well into his mid-20s.

Billie Jean – Based on a real-life incident in which a woman accused Jackson of fathering her twins (“She says I am the one/ But the kid is not my son”) the song almost didn’t make it onto Thriller because Quincy Jones hated its signature part: the bass line. Thumping and fraught, it feels like the soundtrack to a late-night walk through a bad neighborhood. It successfully makes Jackson sound dangerous, which is no small feat. Amazingly, the video was also one of the first by a black artist ever played on MTV.

Never Can Say Goodbye – At 12, Michael’s voice is noticeably deeper than on earlier Jackson 5 songs — and deeper than on a lot of his later solo stuff too. In the verse, he ramps up the emotion gradually, easing his way up the scale until he bursts into the chorus, hitting all the high notes with astounding clarity.

Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough – This was the first song Jackson had full creative control over as a singer and songwriter, and it proved he was more than just a sweet kid. (His mother, a Jehovah’s Witness, was reportedly shocked at the sexual entendre in the title.) “Don’t Stop” came out squarely at the end of the disco era, and yet it’s so filled with energy and instruments — trumpet, flugelhorn, electric piano — that it doesn’t sound the least bit dated. No self-respecting wedding DJ goes anywhere without it.

Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin – It’s hard to write a better album opener than this one from Thriller, which not only kicks up the energy but lays out Jackson’s ambitious musical agenda — from the disco beat to the rock timbre of the vocals to the closing refrain of “mama-se, mama-sa, mama-coo-sa,” cribbed from “Soul Makossa,” a hit by Cameroonian saxophonist Manu Dibango.

We Are the World – Parts of this benefit single have aged poorly — specifically, the Quincy Jones fanfare that opens the thing and the Cyndi Lauper shrieking-dolphin interlude. But the song itself, written by Jackson and Lionel Richie, is a wonder, flexible enough to accommodate the vocal styles of everyone from Kenny Rogers to Bob Dylan. And at the 2:40 mark, when Jackson sings the bridge in a classic “‘scuse me, genius coming through” moment, he proves that his style tops them all.

I’ll Be There - After three upbeat songs, this Berry Gordy–co-written ballad was the Jackson 5′s first serious track, and it turned out to be its most successful. Michael and Jermaine share the lead vocals, but it’s Michael who has the memorable lines, opening with, “You and I must make a pact” — he sounds almost too young to know what the word pact might mean — and the ad-libbed ender, “Just look over your shoulders, honey,” a reference to the Four Tops’ “Reach Out, I’ll Be There.”

Ben – This song about a rat, from the 1972 film of the same name, was originally offered to Donny Osmond. That tells you all you need to know about the quality of the composition. The vocal is another story. In classic style, Jackson, 14 at the time of its release, invests just enough to make you believe that he and Ben have “both found what we were looking for,” but his restraint is just as powerful. Every note is clean and understated, giving “Ben” a dignity far above its station.

Simple Test to Determine Sleep Apnea

Often times, snoring most of us are ashamed of. However, it also holds the key to our health, in that it can determine if we suffer from a condition called sleep apnea, which in turn considerably increases the chances of a heart attack. A pause in snoring can mean our body has an episode (called an apnea) when one or more breaths are skipped as we sleep. In other words, we stop breathing. Quite understandably, this can have Read the rest of this entry »

origin of the ‘f’ word

In other words, what is the origin of the word (hoy!)? Originally, this was a quite acceptable word! It was recorded in a dictionary in 1598 (John Florio’s A Worlde of Wordes, London: Arnold Hatfield for Edw. Blount). It is remotely derived from the Latin futuere and Old German ficken/(hoy!)en meaning ‘to strike or penetrate’, which had the slang meaning ‘to copulate’. Eric Partridge, a famous etymologist, said that the German word was related to the Latin words for “pugilist,” “puncture,” and “prick.” The word, which entered English in the late 15th century, became rarer in print in the 18th century when it came to be regarded as vulgar. It was even banned from the Oxford English Dictionary. In 1960, Grove Press (in the US) won a court case permitting it to print the word legally for the first time in centuries — in D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover (written in 1928). One folk etymology, which is incorrect, is that it derives from “[booked] for unlawful carnal knowledge.”
