Vegetables and health




Vegetables truly are one of the best sources of vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting phytochemicals you can find, which makes them excellent food cures. You should be getting at least five servings of vegetables daily, but I encourage you to eat even more than that, since they’re so good for you. Keep in mind that starchy veggies like corn, peas, potatoes (white and sweet), and winter squash contain more calories than water-rich, nonstarchy vegetables. So, while I consider all nonstarchy vegetables to be "
One of the great things about eating your daily servings of vegetables is that they provide you with an array of nutrients, including the B vitamins folate, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamin B6; antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, lycopene, quercetin, and anthocyanins; and countless other phytonutrients.
B vitamins like folate and B6 keep your hair strong and healthy. Some research suggests that they may also reduce your risk of cardiovascular diseaseand slow age-related memory loss. Folate, in particular, contributes to the production of serotonin, so it may help ward off depression as well as improve your mood, and vitamin B6 aids in dopamine production, which may reduce PMS symptoms. Riboflavin and niacin are two additional B vitamins that may help prevent cataracts.
Research suggests that antioxidants like vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin, and anthocyanins may help reduce your risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. Research shows that vitamin C may also help slow bone loss and decrease the risk of fractures. Vitamin C allows the body to make collagen, too. Collagen is a major component of cartilage, which aids in joint support and flexibility. Collagen also helps keep your skin and hair looking healthy and beautiful. Anthocyanins and quercetin are anti-inflammatory antioxidants that are also often found in vegetables. Current research suggests that anthocyanins and quercetin may help slow the rate of age-related memory-loss and protect against arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
Another important vitamin in vegetables is vitamin E, which works with vitamin C to keep skin healthy as you age. This vitamin also helps protect your skin from the sun’s damaging rays. It may also help reduce your risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
Veggies that contain beta-carotene, such as pumpkin, winter squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, and dark leafy greens, contribute to the growth and repair of the body's tissues. Beta-carotene may also protect your skin against sun damage. Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the body at a carefully controlled rate. A diet rich in beta-cryptoxanthin, another powerful carotenoid, has been associated with a reduced risk of developing inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis.
In addition to vitamins, vegetables contain other nutrients such as minerals, water, and fiber. Some of the minerals that are commonly found in veggies include magnesium, potassium, and iron. Magnesium and potassium help maintain blood pressure control and bone health, and magnesium may also protect against migraines and PMS symptoms. Iron contributes to healthy hair.
You can also think of nonstarchy vegetables as “juicy foods,” since they mostly consist of water. Foods that have a high water content tend to be low in calories, since all that water adds volume and dilutes the calories. That, in addition to the high fiber content in vegetables, also helps fill you up for a minimal calorie cost, making them a smart addition to any weight-loss plan. And the water contained in vegetables, like the water you drink, hydrates your cells, flushes toxins from your body, assists with normal organ functioning, and helps you maintain optimal energy levels.
Fiber found in vegetables is also multipurpose: It not only keeps you feeling full, controlling your hunger, but it also stabilizes blood sugar, which helps keep your mood and energy level steady. The fiber in veggies may also lower cholesterol and blood pressure. And, a high-fiber diet has been associated with reduced risk of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
While vegetables offer many health benefits, they can sometimes trigger IBS in individuals who are sensitive — particularly if the vegetables are raw or high in fiber. And if you suffer from migraines, be aware that certain vegetables, including canned and pickled vegetables, may trigger headaches in sensitive individuals. Canned vegetables are typically high in sodium, which can contribute to high blood pressure, so look for low-sodium or no-salt-added varieties, and rinse regular varieties thoroughly to significantly cut down on the salt.

That is true that somehow some people didn’t like  vegetable for some reason such us smell bad, or taste bad and blah blah blah . but we have to think that it is good for your body. Don’t eat a food if it didn’t have a benefit for your body and ask yourself, if you want to eat junk and sick one day or no. if you still cant you can add some ingredients that you like to make it taste better and it also work for me like add cheese to your broccoli.

The best way out is Always through   Robert Forst-


I found that a simple quote form Robert Forst is really interesting for someone with a problem that the found a dead way for it. Why? Because it’s mean that, you have to go through the way and condition you’re in right now. Because if its not you then who? Who will go through your condition and problem to solve it?
Ask yourself who? No one will. For me the best person to solve our problem is our self. We know it better than anyone. We can ask to them about opinion but don’t ask them to solve it. Don’t run. Don’t hide and let time solve and heal everything, One day if it’s not, you will lose the best time to solve it and regret for the time you waste to hide.

Music is my live





Everybody loves music. Music can be a part of human life who really loves music. The difference between them is just what genre that they loves. There are many genre of music such as pop, rock, hip hop, ballad and many more. Every body can makes their own music, the easiest way is by humming. Hummisng is making sound with our mouth closes so just sound like humm that produces by our mouth.its really enjoyable to do that when we do something.
Even the children in the elementary school can produce a musicmusic program should be experimental just as every other aspects of curiculum. Start from children interests experience and explorations of element of sound should be a part of everyday to building a sense of cummunications, creativity and spontaneus. Music making can happen any time Children have their independent play time humming for example like  i said before.
Therefore the more time for interactions and choices they got to make a music together with family or parents or friends the better music that they can produce. Because music without mind during the children ages is occur when childdren engage the concept of spontaneuslywithout any understanding of what they are doing the other times that the concept of spontaneusly happen is during the independent practice and create stages. This time when the concept has been discovered labeled, and practiced  to become a part of children to be routinely used in improvisation or composition teacher also has a role in this case which is called the teacher directed part without that component of teaching, risk of children to never growing skills and understanding may occur

Love means...




You  LOVE   someone not because they are perfect,
but because you know they are not –Jodi Piqoult-

Love is about receiving, love is about understanding, love is about fulfilling, love is a appreciating. Love is not always about romantic thing that we do, but it is deeper than that. When you love someone you will receive his lack, you will understand his mistake, fulfill each other, you will appreciate his love and the most important is stand beside him when he fall, you don’t have to catch if you can’t, but at least you don’t run from him. Give a hug and shoulder to lean with is not always the boys task they need it too from you. It’s hard, I think But you will know instantly that he is the ONE that you find the whole live when you can do that. Don’t be too rush and easy to tell you love someone because you will found that it is not worth anymore.
 I love you because I Need you is a childish love, but I need you because I love you  is the true love ­– Winston chrchill-
Will be your guide to found the one

HOW WE USE FASHION TO CREATE AN IDENTITY




Many of us look into our closet every morning and ponder, “What do I feel like wearing today?” This question can have many different influences on what we wear each day. What we end up wearing depends on how we feel; are we bloated, are we feeling skinny, did we wake up happy, or upset, do we feel rested or are we sleep deprived. Clothes are supposed to give us a sense of security in presenting ourselves to society. They can give us the power to present ourselves as sexy, as feminine, or any other attitude or identity we want. If we leave the house unsure of our fashion choice, most likely we will second guess ourselves all day; pulling, tugging, and adjusting the outfit of choice.
The phrase, “fashion choice”, doesn’t simply imply the articles of clothing that we choose to put on, it also includes the identity we choose to represent for the day; may that identity be a gender identity or a sexual identity is up to the individual. A simple blouse cannot only make us feel good about ourselves; it can also make us feel bad. It can take you from wanting to feel more “sexy”, flirtier, more confident to frumpy, unattractive, and uncomfortable. Many say attitude is everything but I believe clothing and by default fashion is everything, because for many, our clothing can determine the fierce attitude we exude or don’t exude for the day.  So, where do we get these ideas of fashion? Who is our fashion role model? How are social views and constructs of acceptable fashion used to make us feel oppressed or empowered?
To answer these questions we must analyze the fashion model, the fashion industry, and the clothing. In many of the readings the idea of power and how women obtain this power thru clothing is studied and at times scrutinized. The argument here is whether or not women’s clothing should be viewed as oppressive. The study looks at several published articles about clothing in Ms. Magazine over a span of thirty years, and the general consensus is that, at various times in history women’s clothing, especially the skirt, has been viewed as oppressive. However, what also comes up several times is that many women feel like they can dress and wear make-up to feel more empowered, by feeling more like the woman they want to be (Tyler and Paff Ogle, 2007). Which supports my previous claim, that the clothes we wear day to day define how we feel, and reflect our attitudes and moods. The Tyler and Paff Ogle article goes on to notice that one point of view states that dressing to feel empowered is really just another form of oppression, since we are relying on reactions of others to feel the way we want. The other view is that clothing is put together by women in a very well thought out fashion and is in their control (Tyler and Paff Ogle, 2007).
Next, we must look at how we as a society use the fashion model as a teacher (Dwyer, 2006), and our grading scale for beauty and sexuality (Ashmore, et. Al, 1996). At the core of these aspects is the body. The body, to some is a biologically predetermined entity. It has its own agency, and some things are natural while others are not natural and have been adapted from societal influences. To many fashion designers, I would argue, the body is just a canvas; a canvas that has no natural barriers and is there for the designer to control and manipulate however they see fit. Fashion designers find inspiration in daily things surrounding them and make interpretations of what they see and put it into their clothing. They may have no identity or gender in mind when they find inspiration say, in their cats blue eyes, like Karl Lagerfeld’s spring 2012 collection. Although for anyone to wear their works of art, identity and gender must be assigned at some point to the clothing, and a template of the idealistic gendered body is used as the display.
Both of these are controlled by society, based off of a somewhat consistent rating system of attractiveness (Ashmore, et. Al, 1996). Clothing just like levels of female attractiveness can be put into categories: Sexy, feminine, and trendy. Obviously there are many more categories and sub-categories but I think these three can be used the most to make the arguments of how clothes can be used for a sense of control or for oppression. In the first two pictures below, I think, exude a sense of power and sex appeal. The first photo is a purple satin suit; the posture of the model insinuates an air of confidence and arrogance. The suit itself is traditionally thought of as a symbol of power, and in this case the suit is form fitting and sleek suggesting some consideration for sex appeal, the shoulders are padded a little giving off the illusion of sharp powerful edges, suggesting that sex and power coexist together. The models hair is pulled back, so a sense of femininity is lost, and what is left is a sexy power hungry form. The second is a photo fashion designer Tom Ford surrounded by his masterpieces. Again the models stances exude a flaunting of arrogance, which I have always associated with power, the notion that you can do anything. The outfits are form fitting, yet detailed in a way that flaunts control and power, even the lighting and colors suggest an old world gangster appeal. The third and fourth photographs are pieces done by Marc Jacobs, a designer known for whimsical fantasy pieces or trendy statements, and feminine reinventions of the 40’s and 50’s. Marc Jacobs encourages women to put on “outfits” to embody the woman you want to be or the character you feel you aught to be.
Now, I have very much played up these four photos trying to persuade my reader that clothing is made to empower women, we have various fashions that will let us exude any feeling or personality that we want. We can be sexy, fierce, whimsy, alternative, retro, and feminine. We have the choice to combine many of these categories to create our own style and identity.  What I left out was criticism of the canvas, or the models themselves. I mentioned the attitudes the models give off but that’s really in an effort to play up the clothes, they tell the story that the designers want them to. The clothes fit the models well and suggest in doing so a perfect body type. The model is put on display as a selling tool. Imagine the same purple satin suit on a somewhat frumpy, out of shape woman. Would it tell the same story? Would it sell? The picture wants you to see sex and power, and the model’s thin physique lets us see that, given a bigger body type, we might judge her flaws and miss the statement that is trying to be told.
Therefore, this brings the fashion model under scrutiny, as an oppressive symbol, or potentially as a powerful and positive influence. The female fashion model is what society views as a 10. However, she is under constant scrutiny by many feminists, and by the fashion industry. Many women say she is too thin, while the fashion industry might say that the same model is either perfect or too curvy. She endures the positive and the negative, and she is either pleasurable or not, but never both (Dwyer, 2006). She can be a teacher and role model to our youth seen as desirable, but many see her influence as offensive. She can be damaging to young girls, giving many young girls body dimorphic disorders, and an unrealistic image of what they “should” look like. In contrast she can be seen as a way for girls to emulate “a feminine fantasy”, and she can be fun, simply a way to play a character and put on various masks of femininity, using her as a way to undermine restrictive scripts of femininity that are put in place by a patriarchal society (Dwyer, 2006). Both arguments have validity.  One flaunts the different masks of femininity that puts power in women’s hands. We are not conforming but building and molding ourselves into whatever we want, even if that identity could be viewed as ambiguous. The other is a fear of obsessive infatuation with the models body, causing a deep desire to look the same, which can become harmful.

In different ways the fashion industry can be thought of as unassuming and in a certain aspect, non-judgmental. I think it is one of the only capitalistic industries that have adapted the quickest to what  “forecasts” predict. They see what colors are trending, and use that to design entire collections of clothing. They also see what the world sees as attractive and gives us visually appealing models to wear stunning clothing. What the industry does to bend social norms is encourage the abnormal, and in doing so pushes the public to accept often-controversial trends or sexual identities. To quote a legend in the fashion industry, Karl Lagerfeld has said, “There is no beauty without strangeness”. The industry seeks out the unique and wants to find new ways to push societal barriers. The ways the body can display sex, femininity, masculinity, or ambiguity, are often explored and played with by the fashion world.
We use fashion as a tool, it helps us evolve and shift our physical and emotional identities, and fuels our human need to mask our true selves allowing us to play “parts” in society. The fashion industry gives us with these tools, providing us with ways to express our sexuality, femininity, and our day-to-day feelings. Our fashion identity is formed through social scripts, and fashion is there to aid us in our character choice. Fashion is a tool used by the individual to drive the unique identity of every person, the road can be treacherous, filled with missteps and regret, but the ride can be rewarding if the outcome proves positive and self-fulfilling.
