Poem written during the plague epidemic in 1800.

 

I found it fit for the moment, the beauty of this poem written 2 centuries ago.

′′ When the storm passes,

the roads get torn up,

And we are survivors

of a collective wreck,

With the tearful heart

and destiny blessed

We will feel blessed

Just by being alive.

And we will give a hug to the first unknown

And praise the luck of keeping a friend.

And then we will remember everything we lost and at once we will learn everything we have not learned.

We will no longer be envious for all suffered.

We will no longer have a hardened heart

We will all be more compassionate.

It will be worth more what is from everyone than what I never could.

We will be more generous

And much more committed

We will understand how fragile we are, and what we are

means to be alive!

Let's feel empathy for who is and who is gone.

We will miss the old man who asked for handouts in the market, who we never knew the name and was always by our side.

And maybe the poor old man was God in disguise...

But you never asked his name

Because I was in a rush...

And everything will be a miracle!

And everything will be a legacy

And the life we earn will be respected!

When the storm passes

I ask God, with sadness,

May you make us better.

how you ′′ us ′′ dreamed.

(K. O ' Meara - Poem written during the plague epidemic in 1800)

Juice Which Melts The Pounds While You Are Reading A Book?

 

Yes, indeed, that is possible by using the healing properties of honey mixed with cinnamon. Very few people know that the combination of these two ingredients speeds up metabolism and helps in weight loss.

Honey  helps boost and speed up the metabolism which helps the body burn fat.

Honey has a healthier glycemic index (GI) than sugar, therefore it doesn’t cause a sugar rush, but it is gradually and progressively absorbed into our body.

Cinnamon stabilizes blood sugar levels and increases the metabolism of glucose. Since high blood sugar levels can lead to increased storage of fat, cinnamon helps prevent this.

Cinnamon improves insulin function. Thus, you lose weight

The cinnamon and local honey clean parasites, fungus and bacteria in the digestive tract.

You will also have a feeling of fullness and satiety.

 For the preparation of this drink, you need only two spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon and 250 ml of water.

The recommended amount can be changed, but you must always use two measures of honey and one of cinnamon.

Prepare as much drink as you think you need. To begin, boil the water and pour it over the cinnamon, cover the glass and let the mixture cool.

You can add the honey when the water is cool, and keep in mind that you should never add honey in boiled water.

All In The Mind

Top 10 Iron Rich Foods

Iron is a trace mineral found in every living cell in our bodies. Iron is a primary component of two proteins: hemoglobin and myoglobin.

Hemoglobin is the part of the red blood cell that carries oxygen to the body’s tissues.

Myoglobin is the part of the muscle cells that hold oxygen.

Since iron plays such a critical role in the body, the liver and bone marrow are able to store some iron in case it is needed.

It must be stored inside specialized proteins because free iron can cause damage to the body’s tissues.

Iron deficiency symptoms include:

·         Weakness

·         Fatigue

·         Poor concentration

·         Weakened immune system

·         Leaky Gut or IBS

Consuming high iron foods are important for Pre-menopausal women have higher iron needs than men due to monthly blood losses.

If you are low in Iron it is also critical to get plenty of vitamin C in your diet since it increases iron absorption. The RDA for iron is 8mg/day for men and older women, while pre-menopausal women need 18 mg/day and the Daily Value is 18mg.

Top Health Benefits of Iron

EnergyAn iron deficiency is known as anemia. When there is not enough iron, the body cannot make hemoglobin which will result in light-colored red blood cells that cannot transport oxygen.

Symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia include lack of energy, poor mental function, and apathy. Pre-menopausal women and children are likely to get anemia if they are not consuming enough high iron foods.

Muscle FunctionWithout iron, the primary cells in the muscles, called myoglobin, cannot hold oxygen. Without oxygen, these cells will not be able to function properly, resulting in muscle weakness.

Brain FunctionThe brain is very dependent on oxygen for proper function. If iron is not present, the brain will not receive the oxygen it needs resulting in poor memory, decreased productivity, and apathy.

Children with iron deficiency tend to become irritable, restless, and are unable to pay attention in class. These symptoms will disappear once iron levels are restored.

Healthy PregnancyPregnant women should consume more iron rich foods than anyone else.  Pregnant women’s iron needs are around 27mg daily and this is often covered in a pre-natal multi-vitamin.  Also, pregnant women should consider consuming more healthy fat and folate rich foods during pregnancy.
