Another good, witty and hilarious joke which I just had to share! ?

An Indian Doctor  was relaxing on his sofa one evening just after arriving home from work.

As he was tuning into the evening news, the phone rang._*

*_The doctor calmly answered it, and heard the familiar voice of a colleague on the

other end of the line._*

*_"We have already opened an aged 18 year old RARE  SINGLE MALT

GLENFIDDICH  WHISKEY.._*

*_"I'll be right over," whispered the doctor._*

*_As he was moving out, his wife asked, "Is it serious..?"_*

*_"Oh yes, quite", said the doctor gravely. Shaking his head, he muttered

 "Only18 years old. 3 doctors are there already..!"_*

The Effective Sweet Treat that Relieves Arthritis Pain

By Jim Healthy On  October 19th, 2012

Did you know that there are certain kinds of foods that actually help reduce or even stop arthritis pain?

These “superfoods” are usually easy to find and inexpensive.

Of all the foods that help fight against arthritis — delicious, sweet pineapple comes up close to the top of the list.

The Sweet Pain Reliever

For generations, people around the world have used fresh pineapple to ease their arthritis inflammation. Loaded with joint-protecting vitamin C, pineapple is undoubtedly a superior arthritis-healing food.

Its anti-inflammatory ingredient — bromelain — is so potent that many boxers drink the juice after fights to heal their bruises.

A 1960 study compared boxers who took bromelain with those receiving a placebo. In just four days, an amazing 78% of those taking bromelain were inflammation-free, while only 14% of the control group had recovered.

Other than bromelain, pineapple also contains manganese, which strengthens bones and protects joints.

Here are 5 reasons you should be indulging in this delicious fruit if you struggle with joint pain and arthritis:

Reason #1: Joint Protection

Higher intake levels of the antioxidant vitamin C is essential for people with arthritis…

And just one cup of pineapple has a whopping 94% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA)!

Research published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases showed that vitamin C-rich foods protect against inflammatory polyarthritis, a type of rheumatoid arthritis in which two or more joints are affected.

If you have osteoarthritis, you may be concerned by warnings that you should not increase your vitamin C intake. But know that those warnings are based on a 2004 study on guinea pigs!

Studies on humans show vitamin C actually reduces pain, cartilage loss and disease progression.

Reason #1: Healthier Joint Tissue

Pineapple is a great source of the trace mineral manganese.

Manganese is absolutely essential for building healthy joint tissue and dense bones. One cup of pineapple provides 128% of the RDA for manganese.

Research shows that manganese tackles free radicals that can damage joint cartilage.

Tip: It’s best to eat your pineapple raw. Fruit skewers alternating fresh pineapple chunks with strawberries is a great way to do that. Grilled and cooked pineapple is extraordinarily tasty too.

Reason #3: Smoother Joint Movement

Pineapple’s enzymes literally clean up “rusty” joints. When you eat pineapple on an empty stomach, the enzymes go right to work on your joints.

Tip: If you eat pineapple with other foods, the enzymes divert their activity to digesting the rest of your meal instead of the gunk in your joints.

So keep pineapple around for between-meal snacks. Juice the hard inner core as well to take advantage of the concentrated bromelain located there.

Reason #4: Pain Relief

For optimal arthritis pain-relief, eat fresh pineapple.

The bromelain in pineapple is destroyed by heat, so fresh pineapple will give you the most benefit.

Frozen pineapple retains active enzymes, but canned fruit and commercially processed juice don’t provide the anti-inflammatory benefit of fresh fruit.

It’s important to note bromelain causes anti-clotting activity…

So you should consult with your physician before combining pineapple with blood-thinning medications such as warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, or aspirin.

Tip: If the fruit needs to ripen, keep it on your kitchen counter for a couple days. You’ll know it’s sweet and ready to eat when the bottom softens a bit.

Reason #5: Protection from Inflammation

Pineapple’s bromelain halts inflammation.

The sulfur-based enzyme bromelain in fresh pineapple is one of the best-researched natural anti-inflammatory agents around.

Bromelain clobbers inflammatory agents that trigger joint pain and cartilage degeneration.

A 2006 study cited in Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology found that supplemental bromelain is effective in easing discomfort from hip arthritis.

The Arthritis Foundation stated that pineapple’s bromelain produces effects comparable to NSAIDs for relieving pain and inflammation.

UK researchers reviewed ten studies on osteoarthritis and bromelain. They found that every single one confirmed bromelain’s benefits.

Tip: Most of the bromelain in pineapples is found in the core and the stem. So don’t throw away that tough, fibrous core!

When we visited the world's most productive land of okra in a rural area in Kami, Kochi Prefecture , Japan , the young and old all look very healthy. When we asked their secret in having good health in that area, they graciously answer “okra”. 
Okra has a long history, with its beginnings in Egypt where it is cultivated before the time of Cleopatra. The okra plant spread to many parts of the world during the Atlantic slave trade. During World War II, the shortage of coffee beans made them use okra seeds as a substitute for coffee. This incident made the word “okra fever”. Since then, okra's popularity never disappeared from local markets to convenience stores throughout the world and throughout the year.

Nutritional Information

Okra contains vitamins A and C and is a good source of iron and calcium. It also contains starch,
fat, ash, thiamine and riboflavin. No wonder, Cleopatra and Yang Guifei maintained their beauties.

  Health Benefits of Okra

1.     The superior fiber found in okra helps to stabilize the blood sugar by curbing the rate at which sugar is absorbed from the intestinal tract. 
2.     Okra's mucilage binds cholesterol and bile acid carrying toxins dumped into it by the filtering liver. 
3.     Okra helps lubricate the large intestines due to its bulk laxative qualities. The okra fiber absorbs water and ensures bulk in stools. This helps prevent and improve constipation. Unlike harsh wheat bran, which can irritate or injure the intestinal tract, okra's mucilage soothes, and okra facilitates elimination more comfortably by its slippery characteristic. Okra binds excess cholesterol and toxins (in bile acids). These, if not evacuated, will cause numerous health problems. Okra also assures easy passage out of waste from the body. Okra is completely non-toxic, non-habit forming, has no adverse side effects, is full of nutrients, and is economically within reach of most individuals unlike over-the-counter drugs. 
4.     Okra fiber is excellent for feeding the good bacteria (probiotics). This contributes to the health of the intestinal tract. 
5.     Okra is a supreme vegetable for those feeling weak, exhausted, and suffering from depression. 
6.     Okra is used for healing ulcers and to keep joints limber. It helps to neutralize acids, being very alkaline, and provides a temporary protective coating for the digestive tract. 
7.     Okra treats lung inflammation, sore throat, and irritable bowel syndrome. 
8.     Okra has been used successfully in experimental blood plasma replacements. 
9.     Okra is good for summer heat treatment. 
10. Okra is good for constipation. 
11. Okra is good in normalizing the blood sugar and cholesterol level. 
12. Okra is good for asthma. Okra's vitamin C is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, which curtail the development of asthma symptoms. 
13. Okra is good for atherosclerosis. 
14. Okra is believed to protect some forms of cancer expansion, especially colorectal cancer.
15. Eating okra helps to support the structure of capillaries. 
16. Some information shows that eating okra lowers the risk of cataracts. 
17. Okra is good for preventing diabetes. 
18. Okra protects you from pimples and maintains smooth and beautiful skin. We understand the reason why Cleopatra and Yang Guifei loved to eat okra. 
There are other medicinal uses of okra, like its protection against trans fats. 
I myself planted about 25 stems of okra in my backyard garden throughout the year for over 20 years now. I can pick up about 20 pieces of okra pod every morning. All okra pods are consumed by my family. There are hundreds of recipes that can be done. You can either: cut it raw and mix with vinegar and pepper; cut it raw and mix with mayonnaise; steam, cut, with mayonnaise dressing; or, cook with stew or soup. 
Okra is easy to grow anywhere during summer season in cold countries and throughout the year in tropical areas. You can even plant it in a container garden at the terrace in condominium buildings.

Inventor of PYRO-ENERGEN, the author, Mr. Takano himself picks up Okra in his backyard garden 
To tell you the truth, I did not know that okra seed was used as a substitute for coffee beans during World War II. I have about 500 grams of okra seeds, so I roasted one-half of it using an iron cast pan, and pulverized it. I made okra coffee with it, and it tasted like real coffee although it was darker in color. When I offered the okra coffee to my staffs and visitors who did not know the real thing, they replied "Oh, you got a new blend of coffee, taste is good". I blended it with real coffee, too. It tastes all right. We do not know, however, what nutrients okra coffee gives. 

About the Author: 
Junji Takano is a Japanese health researcher involved in investigating the cause of many dreadful diseases. In 1968, he invented PYRO-ENERGEN, the first electrostatic therapy device for electromedicine that effectively eradicates viral diseases, cancer, and diseases of unknown cause.  

          **Benefit of eating Okra (Lady's Finger) *  

*A guy has been suffering from constipation for the past 20 years and recently from acid reflux. He didn't realize that the treatment could be so simple -- OKRA! (or Lady's Finger). He started eating okra within the last 2 months and since then have never taken medication again. All he did was consume 6 pieces of OKRA everyday. 

He's now regular and his blood sugar has dropped from 135 to 98,  with his cholesterol and acid reflux also under control. Here are some facts on okra (from the research of Ms. Sylvia Zook, PH.D nutrition), University of
Illinois .  * 

*"Okra is a powerhouse of valuable nutrients, nearly half of which is 
soluble fiber in the form of gums and pectins. Soluble fiber helps to lower serum cholesterol, reducing the risk of heart disease. 

The other half is insoluble fiber which helps to keep the intestinal tract healthy, decreasing the risk of some forms of cancer, especially colo-rectal cancer. *

*Nearly 10% of the recommended levels of vitamin B6 and folic acid is also present in a half cup of cooked okra. Okra is a rich source of many nutrients, including fiber, vitamin B6 and folic acid. 

He got the following numbers from the University of Illinois Extension Okra Page Please check there for more details. 

Okra Nutrition (half-cup cooked okra) 
* Calories = 25 
* Dietary Fiber = 2 grams 
* Protein = 1.5 grams 
* Carbohydrates = 5.8 grams 
* Vitamin A = 460 IU 
* Vitamin C = 13 mg 
* Folic acid = 36.5 micrograms 
* Calcium = 50 mg 
* Iron = 0.4 mg 
* Potassium = 256 mg 
* Magnesium = 46 mg * 
 
*These numbers should be used as a guideline only, and if you are on a medically-restricted diet please consult your physician and/or dietician. 

Ms Sylvia W. Zook, Ph.D. (nutritionist) has very kindly provided the following thought-provoking comments on the many benefits of this versatile vegetable. 

They are well worth reading

1. The superior fiber found in okra helps to stabilize blood sugaras it curbs the rate at which sugar is absorbed from the intestinal tract. 

2. Okra's mucilage not only binds cholesterol but bile acid carrying toxins dumped into it by the filtering liver. But it doesn't stop there...

3. Many alternative health practitioners believe all diseases begin in the colon. The okra fiber, absorbing water and ensuring bulk in stools, helps prevent constipation . Fiber in general is helpful for this but okra is one of the best, along with ground flax seed and psyllium. Unlike harsh wheat bran, which can irritate or injure the intestinal tract, okra's mucilage soothes , and okra facilitates elimination more comfortably by its slippery characteristic many people abhor. 

In other words, this incredibly valuable vegetable not only binds excess cholesterol and toxins (in bile acids) which cause numerous health problems, if not evacuated, but also assures their easy passage from the body. The veggie is completely non-toxic, non-habit forming (except for the many who greatly enjoy eating it), has no adverse side effects, is full of nutrients, and is economically within reach of most. 

4. Further contributing to the health of the intestinal tract, okra fiber(as 
well as flax and psyllium) has no equal among fibers for feeding the good bacteria (probiotics). 

5. To retain most of okra's nutrients and self-digesting enzymes, it should be cooked as little as possible, e.g. with low heat or lightly steamed. Some eat it raw.

P/S  For people with health issues eg. diabetic patients please regular monitor
your blood sugar level when consuming natural remedy and medicine or consult  your doctor..

High cholesterol and high blood pressure are also correlated with fatty liver although fatty liver can be found among the young and thin with no high blood pressure.

Why do we need a healthy liver?

The liver, located at the right upper abdomen, is a key organ. It keeps the body in optimal health by performing metabolic and detoxifying functions.

A healthy liver regulates the amount of fat, protein and glucose in the blood. It processes nutrients from the intestines. It also removes toxins and drugs from the bloodstream.

Treatment of fatty liver disease

Management involves diagnosing and treating the underlying cause of the fatty liver disease. "With counseling, a few of my patients became very motivated and managed to reverse their fatty liver disease through disciplined lifestyle changes," says Chow.

It is important that young people with fatty liver take steps to control their weight and glucose levels to prevent the condition from deteriorating, adds Chow.

Steps to reverse a fatty liver

1. Cut down on carbohydrates.

2. Eliminate refined sugar, e.g no sugar in coffee.

3. Eat plenty of vegetables, whole grains, seeds and nuts, pulses and legumes.

4. Exercise at least five times a week. Each session should last at least 30 minutes. It can be any form of exercise but it should at least raise the pulse rate moderately.

Laugh at the difference between men and women

There was a group of adults who were taking Computer Science course at

a Community College.

And after a few weeks of classes the Professor decided to have some fun one day

as a little learning activity.

And he divided them into by their sex and put the men on one side of the room and the women on the other side of the room.

And he said, “ I want you all to do a project in the next ten minutes and I just want you to determine what ‘Gender’ computer ought to be”

And so they deliberated and so finally there came the men and they voted unanimously that computers should be referred to in the feminine gender,

The reason why the Computer should be spoken up in the feminine gender is because :

1. No one but their Creator understand their internal logic.
2. When computers communicate with each other they speak in code language that only they and experts can understand.
3. Every mistake you make is stored on their hard drive for later retrieval.
4. Because as soon as you commit to one you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessorising it.

The woman had the last word on this subject.

The woman vote unanimously Computers must be in the masculine gender.

Why ???

First of all, in order to get their attention you have to turn them on.

Secondly, they have a lot of data but still cannot think for themselves.

Thirdly, they are supposed to help you solve problems but half of the time they are the problem.

And the final reason they gave was…

Because as soon as you commit to one you realise that if you had waited a little longer you could have got.. a better model…

*SHOCKING*⤵️

Japan's professor of Physiology & Medicine, Professor Dr Tasuku Honjo, created a sensation in front of the media today by saying that the corona virus is not natural. If it is natural, it wouldn’t have adversely affected entire world like this, as per nature.  

Temperature is different in different countries. if it is natural, it would’ve adversely affected only those countries having same temperature as China. Instead, It is spreading in a country like Switzerland, in the same way it is spreading in the desert areas.

Whereas if it were natural, it would have spread in cold places, but died in hot places. I have done 40 years of research on animals and viruses. It is not natural. It is manufactured and the virus is completely artificial.

I have come  the conclusion that since USA has all the 5 strains mutating at the same time, and there are millions of infections with some around still not tested. It is obvious, that the the  huge number of death lends credibility to the CDC of America 's wrong classification of corona virus death in July to December 2019 to Flu diseases.

Also a reported leak and closure of Fort Detrick , and strange Coronavirus death spreading in Italy and Iran in November, even before the Wuhan outbreak , lend credibility to the early outbreak from America. I can now said with confidence USA is the source of the original outbreak.

*日本的生理学和醫學教授本庶佑（Tasuku Honjo）博士 （註一）今天在媒体面前製造了轟動，他说冠狀病毒不是天然的。如果這是自然的，根據性質,  它不會對整個世界造成這樣的負面影響.

*不同的國家有不同溫度。如果它是自然的，它只會對那些與中國溫度相同的國家產生不利影響。相反，它正在瑞士這樣的國家傳播，就像它在沙漠地區傳播一樣。*

*然而，如果它是自然的，它會在寒冷的地方傳播，但在炎熱的地方死亡。我對動物和病毒做了40年的研究。這是不自然的。它是人造的，病毒完全是人造的。*

*我得出的結論是，由於美國有所有的5種病毒株同時變異，而且有數百萬的感染病例，其中一些還沒有經過檢測。很明顯，產生如此巨大的死亡人數，美國疾病控制與預防中心竟然錯誤地將2019年7月至12月那些因冠狀病毒死亡的歸為流感疾病的原因。*

*還有的是美國德特里克堡的泄漏和關閉(去年7月)，以及11月病毒在武漢爆發之前，奇怪的冠狀病毒死亡就已經在意大利和伊朗出現，這些都為美國在較早期已爆發疫症.

，增加了可信度。我現在可以自信地說，美國是最初疫情的源頭。*

P/S  Corona Virus has managed to halt the world economy and human movement.

Global World Environment Movement has  reported a recovery in our eco system during this lock down period. Does it mean that the benefits have weighted more than the side effects??

Hopefully it could bring some senses and motivation to all nations to work together to preserve our natural resources, environment and our society..  Who ever manufactured this virus must be a genius who can foresee the world is
crying for help and nothing of evil thoughts,  or is it not ??

KEEP YOUR LEGS STRONG 

A MUST READ ARTICLE

When we are old, our feet must always remain strong.

When we gain ageing / grow aged, we should not be afraid of hair turning grey (or) his skin sagging (or) wrinkles.

Among the signs of longevity, as summarized by the US Magazine "Prevention", strong leg muscles are listed on the top, as the most important and essential one.

Do not move your legs for two weeks & your leg strength will decrease by 10 years.

A study from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark found that both old and young, during the two weeks of inactivity, the legs muscle strength got weakened by a third which is equivalent to 20-30 years of ageing.

As our leg muscles weaken, it will take a long time to recover, even if we do rehabilitation exercises later.

Therefore, regular exercise like walking, is very important.

The whole body weight/load remain on legs.

The foot is a kind of pillars, bearing the weight of the human body.

Interestingly, 50% of a person's bones and 50% of the muscles, are in the two legs.

The largest and strongest joints and bones of the human body are also in the legs.

"Strong bones, strong muscles, and flexible joints form the "Iron Triangle" that carries the most important load on the human body."

70% of human activity and burning of energy in one's life, is done by the two feet.

Do you know this? When a person is young, his thighs have enough strengths, to lift a small car!

The foot is the center of body locomotion.

Both the legs together have 50% of the nerves of the human body, 50% of the blood vessels and 50% of the blood flowing through them.

It is the large circulatory network that connects the body.

Only when the feet are healthy then the convention current of blood flows, smoothly, so people who have strong leg muscles will definitely have a strong heart.

Aging starts from the feet upwards.

As a person gets older, the accuracy and speed of transmission of instructions between the brain and the legs decreases, unlike when a person is young.

In addition, the so-called Bone Fertilizer Calcium will sooner or later be lost with the passage of time, making the elderly more prone to bone fractures.

Fractures in the elderly easily triggers series of complications, especially fatal diseases such as brain thrombosis.

Do you know that 15% of elderly patients will die within a year of a thigh-bone fracture.

Exercising the legs, is never too late, even after the age of 60 years.

Although our feet will gradually age with time, exercising our feet is a life-long task.

Only by strengthening the legs, one can prevent further aging.

Please walk for at least 30-40 minutes, daily to ensure that your legs receive sufficient exercise and to ensure that your leg muscleus remain healthy.
