13 Things You Can Do With Milk

Milk is a basic ingredient in any household, but it's a waste to use it just for drinking, when you can put it into many more uses that will make your life easier while also saving you money!

Here are 13 examples of things you can do with milk besides drinking it!

Improve the taste of fish To make the frozen fish much yummier, soak it in a bowl of milk until it is completely thawed, and only then cook it. The taste will be MUCH improved!
Soften your skin Prepare a bath, then fill half of it with milk. Sounds very bizarre, but if you soak in it for about 30 minutes, your skin will be as smooth as a baby's bottom!
Relieve bug bites Prepare a solution of milk, water and salt (no more than 2 spoons of salt) and smear on the place of the bite. It will sting at first and then stop stinging all together!
Remove ink stains Scrub the stain on your cloths with a mixture of milk and lemon juice. Leave overnight and then put in the wash!
Shine your leather shoes Take a clean cloth and soak it in milk, then wipe your leather shoes carefully to get an immediate shine. This can be used for other leather products as well!
Make your own yogurt Mix one glass of milk with 1 table spoon of white vinegar or lemon juice.
Shine your silverware Soak silverware in a bowl of sour milk for 30 minutes. Then wash with hot water and soap and dry with a soft cloth to get silverware that shines like new!
Improve the taste of corn Pour milk and water in equal amount into a pot and heat. Put in the corn and then bring to a boil - and enjoy the rich taste!
For better irrigation Fill a funnel with milk and water in a ratio of 1 part milk for 4 parts of water, and use it to bring new life to your plants.
Making your furniture shine Use a solution of milk and lemon juice and use a soft cloth to shine your furniture, to get that great shining gleam!
Clean your house plants Soak a clean cloth in skimmed milk to remove dust and stains from your house plants. Wipe the leaves with the cloth and then use a clean cloth to wipe away the milk and dry the leaves.
Fix cracked porcelain and china dishes Put the cracked tools in a big pot. Fill the pot with 2 cups (or more) of milk and heat on a low fire for an hour. Let it cool and wash it. This will wash away the signs of the crack. Best to use after gluing.
Relieve sun burns Mix milk with a bit of water and smear on the painful area. For burns that cover large areas, a good idea is to soak your clothes in the mixture and wear them for ongoing relief and faster healing of the skin.

10 Healthier Eating Substitutions

People are a lot more educated to foods today than several generations ago. As a result, we're able to make much smarter and healthier eating decisions. There are still instances when you might hear a rumble in your stomach and may think of eating something bad. You can put down that salty bag of chips and replace it with a handful of almonds instead. Sound appetizing? Here is a full list of 10 Delicious Alternatives to a Healthier Lifestyle

fresh fruits

1) Eat Healthier Snacks instead of Junk Food - It seems as if junk food is everywhere we look. The supermarket shelves are stocked full of candies, potato chips, cakes, donuts and assorted baked goods. The grease, oil, refined sugar and saturated fats found in these foods are the major contributors of many unnecessary health problems.

You can still enjoy a quick snack and get the essential nutrition by replacing junk food with healthier alternatives. Fresh fruits, such as apples and oranges, make for excellent substitutes to candy bars. A handful of almonds replaces a bag of potato chips, baked potatoes replace French fries and skim or low fat milk replaces whole milk. You can also choose low fat frozen yogurt topped with fresh fruit over ice cream. Snacking can still be fun after all.

2) Dried Herbs and Spices Instead of Salty Foods - A High daily intake of sodium can result in certain heart problems over time. Rather than adding salt to your meals, consider the healthier alternative of cinnamon, turmeric, cayenne, clove, garlic, ginger, sage, parsley and basil. Not only will you be adding delicious flavors to your favorite dishes, you'll also be limiting any risk of heart diseases in the future. Go ahead and spice things up!

3) Choose Whole Grains Over Refined Ones - Refined grains are consumeddaily with nearly every meal. They are commonly found in white rice, white flour, white sugar and white breads. Cereals also contain large amounts of refined grains and tons of sugar.

The healthier solution here would be to replace the refined grains with whole grains. Substitute brown rice for white rice, whole grain bread over traditional white bread, and healthier bran cereals over the sugary variety of cereals. Oatmeal is an ideal replacement for refined cereal. Try cooking with quinoa and barley as well.

4) Eat More Cold-Water Fish and Less Red Meat - We all love our steaks and beef, but they also contain a high amount of saturated fats. Consuming a regular diet of red meat on a daily basis may increase the risk of hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and strokes.

Cold-water fish, such as tuna, swordfish, whitefish, mackrel, salmon, anchovies, and trout all contain Omega-3 fatty acids, which are the essential fats the body needs. Omega-3 helps combat depression, boosts memory production and greatly reduces the risk of Alzheimer's Disease. Fish can also be frozen for long periods of time, so it never goes to waste.

5) Add Avocados to Your Diet Instead of Mayonnaise -Mayonnaise is most commonly used while preparing sandwiches and in dips. Mayonnaise gives that dry turkey sandwich a bit of extra taste. Mayonnaise is also loaded with plenty of trans and saturated fats, which are very unhealthy for you.

Avocados are the healthy alternatives to mayonnaise. They contain over 25 essential nutrients which are all vital health components. These specific nutrients protect against cancer, prevent heart diseases and prevent bone diseases from occurring. Avocados are also the main ingredients used for making guacamole, which perfectly complements whole wheat tortilla chips.

6) Eliminate Butter with Extra Virgin Olive Oil - You can't hear a frying pan sizzle without the sweet sound of butter being applied to it. Some of the most popular dishes are cooked exclusively with butter. Butter is delicious but extremely unhealthy. Butter significantly increases high cholesterol levels, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and heart diseases.

Use extra virgin olive oil instead of butter to give your meals a solid dose of essential Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Olive oil can be substituted for butter when baking or cooking.

7) Go Organic! - What exactly does organic mean? Simply put organic means natural. Organic farming relies on the useage of natural fertilizers and pesticides, which do not contain harmful toxins.

Non-organic foods are generally exposed to harmful pesticides and other dangerous chemicals. So, the next time you're outside fruit and vegetable shopping, consider visiting your local farmer's market instead.

8) Drink Water Instead of Sugary Beverages - Soda contains high amounts of refined sugar with absolutely no nutritional values whatsoever. Sugar found in sodas and other sweetened drinks lead to fatigue, cause dental problems, trigger depression and can eventually lead to diabetes.

Avoid sugary beverages and drink water as often as possible. Water flushes out all the toxins in the body and helps to promote regular digestion. Filtered water is even better because it removes all chemicals found from the tap. Make sure you carry a bottle of water wherever you go.

9) Make the Switch from Regular Breakfast Cereals to Oats -Walk down any cereal aisle in the supermarket and you'll be bombarded with a tremendous selection of unhealthy cereals that are loaded with refined sugars.

Cooked oats make for the best substitute for a healthy morning breakfast. You can add a pinch of cinnamon, brown sugar, chopped nuts or fresh fruit to give it a little extra flavoring. A healthy bowl of oatmeal can drastically reduce heart diseases, stabilize blood sugar, and lower cholesterol.

10) Drink Green Tea Instead of Coffee - Most people prefer to start their day with a cup of coffee. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee can be very difficult to resist. Coffee also carries a list of health problems that include; acid reflux, intestinal problems, heartburn, anxiety, nausea and can induce unwanted stress.

Green tea is the healthier hot beverage alternative from coffee and provides a quick caffeine boost as well. Green tea is a staple in Asian culture and served with nearly every meal. Green tea also contains powerful antioxidants which fight off diseases and lower the risk of cancer. There must be something special in that green tea!

A few minor changes to yourt dietary intake can make a tremendous impact to your health and well-being, and that is certainly some food for thought!

[www.keralites.net] THE STOMACH GERMS YOU NEED TO AVOID

The Stomach Germs You Need to Avoid!

With population numbers rising, one thing that is becoming more common is catching infections and passing them on to the people around us. One common form of infection comes from a group of bacteria that are found in many foods and animal feces, which means we have to constantly be careful and follow some basic rules to avoid.

It is important to understand what these germs are and what they do, and most of all - how to avoid them!

E. Coli

The E. Coli germ lives in the colon of people and animals such as cows, sheep and goats. Usually, the bacteria is not harmful and is required for the routine activities of the digestive system, but when some touch occurs with feces, there is a risk of infection. The bacteria usually travels through uncooked meat, polluted water and unpasteurized dairy products.

Symptoms of infection from E Coli include severe diarrhea, stomach aches and vomiting which can last between 5 to 10 days. Also, E Coli bacteria may cause urinary infections, with women being especially susceptible.

Although the vast majority of E Coli bacteria aren't dangerous, there are strands which can cause bloody diarreas, kidney malfunction and even death.

To avoid infection, be sure to properly cook your meat, watch fruit and vegetables thoroughly before eating or cooking them and avoid drinking unpasteurized milk and juice. Make sure to clean your hands well after going to the rest room and to thoroughly clean kitchenware and work surfaces that came in contact with uncooked meat.

Campylobacter

Campylobacter jejuni is a species of bacteria commonly found in animal feces. It is one of the most common causes of human gastroenteritis in the world. Food poisoning caused by Campylobacter species can be severely debilitating, but is rarely life-threatening.

C. jejuni is commonly associated with poultry, and it naturally colonizes the digestive tract of many bird species. One study found that 30% of European starlings in farm settings in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, were carriers of C. jejuni. It is also common in cattle.

Avoid contaminated drinking water and unpasteurized milk, which provide an

efficient means for distribution. Contaminated food is a major source of isolated infections, with incorrectly prepared meat and poultry as the primary source of the bacteria.

The causative agent of the relatively rare bacterial disease, listeriosis, a serious infection caused by eating food contaminated with the bacteria. The disease affects primarily pregnant women, newborns, adults with weakened immune systems, and the elderly.

Listeria

Listeria germs are found in the soil and in water, and so can appear on raw foods such as fruit and vegetables, raw meat and fish as well as unpasteurized dairy products. Unlike other bacteria, this species can also grow and spread in the relatively low temperatures of the average fridge.

Most Listeria bacteria are handled by the immune system before they can cause infection, but some 'get away' and cause Listeriosis.

Symptoms of listeriosis include fever, shivers, headaches and vomiting. People at high risk to suffer from a listeria infection are pregnant women and their fetuses, adults over 50 and people who have a weak immune system.

Listeriosis may not affect a lot of people, research suggests that every year it affects about 1,600 people globally. However, out of those 1600, 260 die.

To avoid infection, we repeat our advice to scrubs vegetables and fruit before eating, clean any spills in the kitchen, especially raw meat juices.

Vibrio

The Vibrio Parahaemolyticus germs live in salt water, and are often found in uncooked seafood. They may cause food poisoning which will in turn cause watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, fever and shivers. Severe cases will cause blood and mucus to appear in the feces.

People who eat fish and uncooked seafood may be infected within 24 hours, while the symptoms may last 3-5 days. Severe infections are rare, but people

with a weak immune system are at high risk.

These infections can usually be avoided by thoroughly cooking fish and seafood.

Toxoplasma

According to the CDC, millions of people around the world carry the Toxoplasma gondii parasite. However, only a few of us suffer any symptoms, due to a robust immune system. That said, there are people who develop texeoplasmosis and may suffer a severe infection.

The symptoms, like those of the flu, might be weakness, fever, muscle pain and enlarged lymph nodes.

Like the ones before, the risk groups are pregnant women and people with a weak immune system. The paracite can cause more severe diseases though, which may harm the brain, eyes, liver and lungs.

The toxoplasma gondii bacteria is found in a large variety of animals, but it can only breed in the stomach of a cat. That is why cats are considered the main spreaders. Cats usually catch the parasite by eating raw meat, unwashed vegetables or by contact with other cat feces which contain the eggs of the parasite.

To prevent infection, the CDC recommends cooking your food safely and avoiding low heats, wash your hands while handeling raw food, and to avoid unclean water and cat feces.

Salmonella

Salmonella is a group of bacteria usually found in uncooked poultry, eggs, beef and sometimes unwashed fruit and vegetables. Touching food or animals that came in contact with the bacteria might cause an inflammation in your digestive system. This inflammation is called salmonellosis and its symptoms include fever, diarrhea, stomach and head aches which can last between 4 and 7 days.

Most people heal without treatment, but for the elderly, babies and people with chronic diseases, Salmonellosis can spread in the blood, with deadly results.

To avoid infection, avoid eating uncooked eggs, meat and poultry not fully cooked, and keep your raw meat separate from the cooked meat. Also wash everything that came into contact with uncooked foods.

Norovirus

This virus can do harm to the stomach and bowels, and is often called 'stomach flu'. The bacteria are usually found in contaminated food or beverages, but can also be passed by touching surfaces or other people carrying it.

The virus can cause an inflammation in the bowels (gastritis). The symptoms include Fatigue, headaches, nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea and fever that tend to last a few days. Most people overcome the disease, but it's important to drink enough fluids to replace what you lost.

To avoid infection, always clean your hands with soap after handling foods, and disinfect work surfaces in the kitchen and restroom.
