How Safe Is Regular Use of Microwave?

"You are what you eat is really true!"

We take utmost care what to buy but ignore how to cook it!

Microwave is widely used in many kitchens from making coffee to quick fix dinners.
Did you ever pay attention to health hazards using Microwave???

Microwave uses technology that passes electromagnetic waves through food, exciting the molecules and causing them to move and heat up as they respond to the microwave radiation.

Most people don't pay attention about heating leftovers, defrosting frozen food results in:

• Reduce Vitamin B12 levels
• Another risk when using microwaves is that the plastic containers or wrap used to heat the food causes plastic touch the food which might cause severe health hazards.
• The radiation dangers involved with microwaved food may cause decreased immunity system function.
• Regular consumption of microwave food alters harmones.

Think twice!!!

The Power Of Thoughts By Remez Sasson

One day, a yogi and his disciple arrived in the big city. They had no money with them, but they needed food and a place to stay. The disciple was sure that they were going to beg for their food, and sleep in the park at night.

"There is a big park not far from here. We can sleep there at night", said the disciple.
"In the open air?" Asked the yogi.
"Yes", responded the student.

The yogi smiled and said: "No, tonight we are going to sleep in a hotel and eat there too".

The student was amazed and exclaimed, "We cannot afford that!"
"Come and sit down", said the yogi.

They both sat down on the ground, and the yogi said:
"When you focus your mind intently on any subject, it comes to pass."

The yogi closed his eyes and started to meditate with full concentration. After about ten minutes he got up and started to walk, with his disciple following him. They walked through several streets and alleys, until they arrived at a hotel.

"Come, let's enter inside", the yogi said to his disciple.

They just set foot in the entrance, when a well-dressed man approached them.

"I am the manager of this hotel. You look like traveling swamis, and I believe you have no money. Would you like to work in the kitchen, and in return I'll give you food and a place to stay?"

"Fine", the yogi responded.

The disciple was perplexed and asked the yogi: "Did you use any magic? How did you do that?"

The yogi smiled and said, "I wanted to show you how the power of thoughts works. When you think with full and strong concentration about something that you want to happen, and your mind does not resist the subject of your thought, your thought materializes."

"The secret is concentrating, visualizing, seeing details, having faith and projecting mental and emotional energy into the mental scene. These are the general prerequisites. When your mind is empty from thoughts, and only one single thought is allowed to enter, it gains a very great power. One should be very careful with what he thinks. A concentrated thought is powerful, and exerts a very strong influence."

The disciple looked at his teacher and said: "I see that I have to sharpen my concentration in order to be able to use this power."

"Yes, this is the first step", the yogi replied.

Ten Commandments To Follow In Life - Words of Wisdom

1. Prayer is not a "Spare-Wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a "Steering-Wheel" that directs the right path throughout.

2. Do you know why a car's 'Windshield' is so large! and the 'Rear-View-Mirror' is so small? Because our Past is not as important as our Future. Look ahead and move on!.

 

3. Friendship is like a Book. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write one!.

4. All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong, they can't last long either.

 

5. Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a base of Gold!.

 

6. Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, God smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!".

 

7. When god solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when god doesn't solve your problems, HE has faith in your abilities.

8. A blind person asked Swami Vivekanand - "Can there be anything worse than losing eye-sight?" He replied, "Yes, losing your Vision!".

 

9. When you pray for others, god listens to you and blesses them and sometimes when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

10. Worrying does not take away tomorrow's Troubles, it takes away today's Peace
