Prevent Cancer by eating food of different colors

We have often read or heard about the advantages of eating food of different colors. Do we doubt its truth? According to a U.S. study, red, purple and blue produce has a compound called anthocyanins which may slow the growth of colon cancer cells.

Tests conducted from extracts of various fruits and vegetables such as grapes, radishes, bilberries, purple corn, purple carrots and others showed potency of the anthocyanin compound. Extract derived from purple corn was the most potent, slowing cancer cell growth by 50 percent while radish is the least potent.

There is evidence now that all fruits and vegetables that are rich in anthocyanins have compounds that can slow down the growth of colon cancer cells. These findings were presented at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston by a leading author, Monica Giusti of Ohio State University.

Taps from Taps4Less

Have you ever experienced frustration when you go shopping and not find the thing that you are looking for? Take bathroom accesories for instance. You see something really nice online but all the shops you go to just do not stock the items. That is why sometimes it is better to shop online.

I found a site, Taps4Less.com, that has everything one would look for where bathrooms and kitchens are concerned. They have a really wide selection of bathrooms, showers, electric showers, baths, bath tubs, shower enclosures, taps and lots more. Looking for branded items? They have them too - mira showers, hudson reed taps and showers and others.

I prefer to keep my bathrooms dry, if possible, that's why I have shower enclosures. Looking to install a sauna facility at home? Taps4Less has that too.

You simply have to check out their taps selection. Their range of bathroom and kitchen taps is even larger than their range of showers. There are bathroom taps to suit any bathroom design. Pick your choice from the hundreds of modern and traditional taps. Taps4Less, the Bathroom and Kitchen Superstore indeed!

Plan for a Hawaiian Vacation


All work and no play certainly makes anyone a dull person. Even the most happy of workers would need time to unwind to get out of the hustle and bustle of the rat race. Summertime is great for travel or a vacation. Many people have enjoyed Hawaiian vacations. Ever thought about rewarding yourself with a Hawaiian vacation?

Friends of mine who have been to Hawaii have sung praises about the place, the beautiful beaches, the overall holiday feel, the ease of getting about, the many types of accommodation available, and lots more reasons to opt for a Hawaiian vacation.

For Hawaiian Local Travel Information, Hawaiianbeachrentals.com is a good place to start. This is the site where you'll get travel ideas and all the essential information you'll need to make your Hawaiian vacation your dream vacation.

One of the reasons is it's more cost-effective as a vacation home provides facility to cook your own meals. Also, being under the same roof could save everyone time because you don't have to wait for each other when going places. When you are planning a Hawaiian vacation, think Hawaiianbeachrentals.com

Century Furniture for Your Home



I enjoy visiting home showrooms. The different decoration ideas and colour mixes are interesting to see. The other day, I went to an apartment showroom with a girlfriend. It was a big apartment and the location is ideal - close enough to the city and yet far away enough for some quiet and serenity of the suburbs. The showroom was very nice and attractively done up. I noticed that it was outfitted with Century furniture. I was told that some of the pieces were hand-stitched. Nice.

Christmas Gift Ideas


Time flies. We are almost at the end of August and soon it will be Christmas and yes, Christmas shopping again. December is a great month - full of life and activity and the malls are such a delight to visit - brightly lit and beautifully decorated. December is also a month where people are in a frenzy to get presents bought, cards sent, homes decorated, generally a month of shopping. Talk about shopping, have you got your christmas gift ideas yet? Starting early will eliminate the last-minute shopping stress.

Choosing Home Furniture

When it comes to buying home furniture, we tend to choose pieces that are pleasing to the eye in terms of color and design. This is only natural. However, we will need to consider the occupants of our home, whether there are small children or elderly folks.

With small children it would be wise not to have furniture with sharp corners and with elderly family members around, ergonomics has to be considered.

Great Bargains at a PC Fair

PC Fairs are always crowded the whole duration the fair is on. One is able to get really good bargains on everything electronics. I went to one recently. There were many booths and products were aplenty but then so were the amount of people. There was hardly room to move. People were snapping up the more popular items such as PCs, laptops, printers, monitors, iPods, and so forth. Even IBM memory upgrades were going for a great price. My friend bought a printer and she got a bargain price for it too.

Take a Break, Take an Orlando Vacation

It's summer again in the Northern Hemisphere and at this time of the year, lots of people go on vacation, a good excuse too to get away from the cold in the north and head on south for a spot of warmth and sunshine. Tourist spots would be bustling with people and activity. Streets and malls are crowded and vibrant with movement and business is brisk this time of the year. I bet Orlando vacations would top the list of most popular vacation packages with lots of exciting activities for the whole family.

Get a Van Rack for More Space

These days, you can buy almost anything on the Internet, be it products or services. There's a great variety of health products, exercise equipment, travel packages, vacation homes, automobiles, you name it.

Let's talk a little about automobiles. MPVs, or Multi-Purpose Vans, are becoming popular. You can carry more people and more goods per vehicle than a regular sedan. And best of all, you can carry some more goods piled up on top of the MPV. You just need to install a van rack. As simple as that.

eMortgages is the way to go

The world of electronics has changed the way we do things. Take for instance, the mortgage process. Only a few years ago, the only method used was the manual process where the traditional paperwork was the order of the day.

Some companies are still going about the mortgage process this way however, but many have moved on to electronic mortgages or eMortgages. In this eMortgage process, loan documents are converted to an electronic format known as a SMARTDoc where the document is queried, audited, executed, transferred, and archived entirely in the electronic medium, eliminating paper and creating value for everyone involved.

The Hidden Hazards of Microwave Cooking

I've known that microwave ovens are not good for health but have not come across any article about how harmful they are until I read OAW's "The Hidden Hazards of Microwave Cooking". It's a long article but really worth reading.

You'd argue that microwave ovens are so convenient and energy effecient, as compared to conventional ovens and very few homes or restaurants are without them. Is it possible that millions of people are ignorantly sacrificing their health in exchange for the convenience of microwave ovens? Why did the Soviet Union ban the use of microwave ovens in 1976? Who invented microwave ovens, and why? The answers to these questions may shock you into throwing your microwave oven in the trash.

Below is from the article that might change your perspective on the microwave oven.

Ten Reasons to Throw out your Microwave Oven

From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in our kitchens. Based on this research, we will conclude this article with the following:

1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by "shorting out" electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].

2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.

3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.

5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.

6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America.

8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.

10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

Have you tossed out your microwave oven yet?

After you throw out your microwave you can use a toaster oven as a replacement. It works well for most and is nearly as quick.

Stuffed toys make great gifts for little children



A friend is throwing a birthday party for her son who will turn one in two weeks' time. I wonder what should I get for the little boy. I know he loves soft toys so I think I'm going to get him a stuffed toy. Stuffed toys make great gifts for children. They are safe with no jagged edges and make great companions as they can be lugged around. While out shopping the other day, I came across some stuffed plush gund soft toys. Just what I need.

Branson Missouri




Summertime is a fun time where families take off on a vacation for some rest and recreation. I can imagine places like Disneyland, Disney World and Branson Missouri being packed with holiday-makers from all over the world. What a way to be spending time with family and friends, doing stuff together, taking in new sights and going through some wonderful experiences together. Vacations are always fun, aren't they?

Party at the Poker Table


The girlfriend who is planning her wedding loves to entertain. She and Jim would hold great parties in Jim's apartment where there is always plenty of food and drinks and a whole lot of merry-making. Poker games are usually part of the evening's activities so the part of the home that would be most popular among the boys would be the poker tables. Never a party would go by without a game of poker. The ladies would keep themselves busy with gossip and giggles.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend


A girlfriend is planning her wedding which will be in a year from now and she's all busy looking into all the things she's going to need for her big day - wedding gowns, jewellery, flowers, dinner arrangements, photographer, etc.

We were at the jewellers the other day and she just couldn't take her eyes off one particular pair of diamond rings. She would be bringing Jim, her husband-to-be, to see them. She knows he will also love the design.

Jewelery Storage


Being organized and orderly helps cut out clutter, be it in the office or at home. An orderly home or office is like a breath of fresh air. Clutter on the other hand brings forth a stressed feeling. Besides, it is so much easier to find things in an orderly environment.

Some people have a lot of things like jewelery. They are all very pretty and expensive but when it comes to selecting a piece to wear with that expensive and elegant gown, they have to rummage through lots of pins, brooches, chains, bracelets, rings, earrings and others. This not only wastes time, it adds stress to one's life, don't you think?

If you are like what is described above, why not invest in proper Jewelery Storage for all the beautiful jewelery you have? Yazzii jewelery organizers will not only eliminate the clutter, it will greatly reduce stress and cuts out time-wastage. Dressing up will never be the same again.

Latina Romance

In an earlier post, I talked a little about happiness and dating and about a website about Gothic Dating. I also mentioned that we have many groups of people in our society. This many groups would also encompass multi-races.

Again, somehow we all feel comfortable mixing and hooking up with people who share the same likes, hobbies, etc. Some of us even feel better dating people of the same race probably due to a language concern.

If you are a latino or latina and feel more comfortable latin dating, there is this website where you can find thousands of profiles of nice, warm and sexy Latin individuals. If you'd prefer dating someone in your own area, you can do an area search. It's that simple. And the best part of this site is, joining is absolutely free.



Restaurant in the Sky

Everyone loves food, especially if they are good, well-prepared food. Our body needs good, nutritious food. A restaurant with good food plus good ambience is a real bonus but when you are high up in the air dangling from a crane, it certainly is a different story, isn't it? Would you still enjoy the food? Especially when you are afraid of heights? But what a view.

Gothic Dating

Happiness plays an important role in one's health and subsequently in one's life. If you are happy, you sleep, eat and work better. You even interact better with family and friends. Many things make us happy. Our family, our job, vacations, social events, vacations and many others.

Talk about social events, people we mix with make us happy as we tend to mix with like-minded people mainly because we understand each other better. Dating is no exception. We tend to be attracted to the people who mirror the same or almost the same traits, likes and dislikes.

There are many groups of people in our society. If you belong to a gothic circle, for instance, you would feel more comfortable to be dating goth singles. I came across this goth dating site you might like. Membership is free and you can seach through thousands of profiles. You can even search by area to find someone near you.

This site is dedicated to bringing gothic singles together in a totally free atmosphere. They have real gothic personals where real gothic members are looking to meet other like-minded singles.

Taking care of your skin

Weather conditions and lifestyles can put stress on us physically. For ladies, the ill-effects will show in the skin texture. Age is no doubt a factor that works against the skin.

That is why skin care products are so important. They help protect the skin from the harshness of the weather and moisturise and nourish it. They help to slow down skin degradation due to the effects of aging. There are many brands of skin care products available. One needs to find the right brand that is suitable for one's skin type.

Def Leppard Concert Tour

Attending concerts is great fun. We are quite lucky that several famous solo and group acts have made it to our shores. We have had Santana and The Bee Gees years ago. We even had Linkin' Park and Earth, Wind and Fire. Solo acts included Olivia Newton John. Cliff Richard, Air Supply and lots of others that escape me. Gwen Stefani is coming third week of this month. I hear Def Leppard is going on tour in August. If you are interested, check out the def leppard tour schedule. Now here's an act I would love to see.
