#food#healthAvoid eating fresh fruit after meal
Fruit is marvellous, but our society has taught us a bad habit regarding the time we eat it. We often finish our meal by eating an apple. As this fruit digests quicker (in about 30 minutes) than most of the other cooked food (meat, pasta, cheese etc), it will cause fermentation and indigestion and our body will be unable to absorb the essential nutrients that we wanted to get from the fruit.
What we consider to be a desert it is in fact a snack or a meal by itself that should be taken separately. The correct time to eat the fruit is an hour before a meal. This way, vitamins will be correctly absorbed.

#healthBeauty products ingredients dangerous for your skin
Here's a tip that certain beauty companies won't like because it contains an inconvenient truth about cosmetic products.
Most of the time we don't pay attention at the product's label. It contains a lot of ingredients difficult to pronounce and it doesn't say much to us.
For instance, I believed that Sodium Laureth Sulfate (also known as SLES) is a classic component in most of the cleansing products, with no harm to the skin. After a little reading, I found out that Sodium Laureth Sulfate contains a low level of a carcinogen element, 1,4-Dioxane that may cause skin damage and eye irritation. It can be absorbed through the scalp and skin from shampoos, bath and shower gels, and other personal care products.
Check a list of ingredients that are considered dangerous for the human skin.

#food#healthEating processed meats like bacon, ham and sausages can increase the risk ofheart disease and diabetes, according to new research.
A review by the Harvard School of Public Health in the US found people who eat processed meats have a 42 per cent higher risk of heart disease and a 19 per cent increased risk of Type 2 diabetes.
That is based on a daily serving, on average, of 50g of processed meat, which is roughly the equivalent of two rashers of bacon or one hot dog. However, unprocessed red meats, such as beef, pork or lamb, do not raise the risk. via http://uk.news.yahoo.com
