Avoid Eating Chicken Wings




Avoid eating chicken wings frequently - ladies especially, a true story…! Wait, hang on, please read what I am about to share with you below.

Recently while eating with my sister-in-law, I was advised not to eat the pointed tips of the chicken wings. She has been informed by some people that the bulk of cholesterol of the chickens are stored in the tips of their wings. The term "wastage" immediately crossed my mind. As for me, the wing, especially the tip when grilled, is the best part of the whole bird. Anyway, better be safe than to be sorry, I thought.

Today, I received an email from a friend with the same advice, that is to avoid eating the chicken wings. Her advice did not mention anything about high cholesterol but it is about the use of steroid on chickens. I decide to reproduce it here for more people to share the story and you decide for yourself whether to continue eating the wings or to avoid them.

Chicken Wings - Its Dangerous

Avoid eating chicken wings frequently - ladies, especially; a true story...!

A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an operation to remove the cyst. The cyst removed was filled with a dark colored blood. She thought that she would be recovered after the surgery but she was terribly wrong.
A relapse occurred just a few months later. Distressed , she rushed down to her gynecologist for a consultation.

During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that puzzled her. He asked if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she replied yes wondering as to how, he knew of her eating habits.

You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are injected with steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this society can be met. This need is none other than the need for food. Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the neck or the wings. Therefore, it is in these places that the highest concentration of steroids exists. These steroids have terrifying effects on the body as it accelerates growth. It has an even more dangerous effect in the presence of female hormones, this leads to women being more prone to the growth of a cyst in the womb.
Therefore, I advise the people out there to watch their diets and to lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings!

People, who receive this email, please forward it to your friends and loved ones.
I am sure no one wants to see him or her suffer!

Before posting the above email content, I have actually done an online search for similar advices or warnings. To my astonishment, there are thousands of such similar warnings circulating for a long time.

In fact, if you randomly do an online search, you will notice that the so-called steroid used is actually the recombinant chicken or bovine growth hormone, used not only on chickens but also on fish such as juvenile coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch) and tilapia to significantly improve their growth rate.

On the other hand, you may also want to read up from this site which pointed out that the claim on growth hormones injected into chicken wings cause ovarian cyst in women is not true.

If you have any other useful information, I would be glad if you can also share them with me.

Thanks.

Home-made Es Apokat






I have successfully concocted the Es Apokat, my favourite dessert. The dessert I very much like to order each time when I patronise at Tambuah Mas, a halal restaurant that serve very appetitizing Indonesian home-style cuisine.


The Es Apokat from Tambuah Mas is made from fresh avocado puree with drizzle of mocca syrup.

My recipe for my home-made Es Apokat is made with the following:

Ingredients
  • 1 ripe avocado (lightly press the head of the fruit to check if the avocado is soft)
  • 3 tablespoon of honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon of nescafe instant coffee
  • dash of nescafe instant coffee
  • 2 small cube of ice
  • 120ml of ice water
Steps
  • half the avocado & remove the seed
  • scoop out all the meat of the avocado & place them into your blender
  • pour in 120ml of ice water
  • add 2 small cube of ice
  • add 1/2 teaspoon of nescafe instant coffee
  • add 3 tablespoon of honey
  • blend all the above ingredients till they turn into a smooth puree
  • scoop out all the puree into a glass
  • sprinkle a little nescafe instant coffee on top of the puree
So simple & you can now enjoy your very own home-made Es Apokat.

I suggest for some people who do not enjoy coffee flavour, perhaps can consider trying replacing the nescafe instant coffee with cocoa powder, chocolate or milo.

Personally, I like it with coffee flavour. Please try it out & let me know how you like it, ok?

Stroke Identification


My Mona Vie home business has been keeping me rather busy lately. The free enrollment for new distributors to join Mona Vie last month has been so overhelming that the promotion has to be extended till the end of this month, March.

I am very happy many people agree with me the meaning of true health.

True health is not just the absence of disease. It empowers our body to perform at their optimum level & thus cannot & must not be taken for granted. It must be guarded with upmost attention & care everyday of our life. That is the most effective way to avoid the degenerating disease & thus achieve the maximum no of years of active enjoyable living. Only by maintaining good health can we do what we want to do & need to do for ourselves & our loved ones. Everyday, not only are we starving ourselves of essential nutrients needed to maintain a healthy body , unknowingly, we are also putting alot of toxins into our body. So, we must immediately start looking at how we can effectively nourish our body & give it the opportunity to stay at its optimum level of wellness. We must not wait till health problem hit hard at home then begin looking for wonder drugs or supplements to treat the problem. Everyone must start to take charge of their health & of their loved one by investing early in their well being.

Now, Mona Vie brings you TRUE HEALTH, ALL IN A BOTTLE (Acai berries + 18 other types of fruits from the 4 corners on earth.

In line with my topic of good health today, I would like to share with you an article below written by my facebook friend, Franco Yong, a NLP Master Practitioner.

Blood Clots/Strokes - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator: the Tongue

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening

Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away..) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke....totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.
