Cut Fruit

Can I peel or chop up fruit ahead of time or will it lose nutrients?

Keeping your cut fruit chilled is the key to keeping vitamin C levels high, according to a recent study. Food scientist from the University of California took pineapples, mangoes, watermelon, rockmelon, strawberries, and kiwifruit and divided them in half. They cut up half the fruit and left the other half whole. Both lots were refrigerated for nine days and were then tested for nutritional content. Compared to the whole fruit, the cut fruit revealed only small loses of antioxidant compounds.

Hi…. I found out another information regarding pets also.. Since I love having my own pets, so I try to found out as much as article about the pets. Here are some things that we eat can be harmful to pets so refrain from giving these as treats.

First of all, don’t give chocolates to cats and dogs. This is because chocolate is toxic to them. Coffee, alcohol and wild mushroom are also bad for pets.

Then, for those who having birds, don’t ever give your pets dairy product or salty foods such as chips, which can cause seizures.

Don’t add onions or anything flavoured to your pet’s home cooked meals. Its because, onions can cause haemolytic anaemia, a condition in which red blood cells are destroyed.

And for last, don’t feed cats raw egg white. A chemical in it neutralizes the vitamin biotin, which is essential for good health.

How Much Water Should I Drink?

Hai Friends,

We have probably heard that we should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. How much water we actually need depends on our weight, level of activity, the temperature and humidity of our environment, and our diet. Diet makes a difference because if we eat plenty of water-dense foods like fruits and vegetables we need to drink water will be diminished.

When we drink enough water, urine will usually be pale yellow, though vitamin supplements and antibiotics can discolor it. On the other hand, we shouldn't need to run to the bathroom too frequently. When in doubt, drink a little more.

Do not worry that drinking water will give our body a bloated look. There are a number of causes of water retention, including consuming too much salt. But drinking water is not one of them.

It is possible to harm ourself by drinking too much water, but it takes quite an effort. Either through obsessive-compulsive behavior or extended athletic activity, drinking large amounts of water can dilute the electrolytes (sodium and potassium) in our blood to the point that it interferes with brain, heart and muscle function.
