Durian is fattening and high in cholesterol. I read that eating durian is like eating meat. I somehow find it very true. If I eat those thick and creamy ones, 2 cloves of it will make me really full to the extend that I will skip my lunch.

But then, if you are a durian lovers, 2 cloves of durian is not enough. Some can even eat a few durians at one go!

This year’s durian season, I am been feasting on durian like never before especially at my mom’s house. Even though we do not have any durian tree at home, a lot of my dad’s friends and relatives gave us durians.

Miraculously, I can eat durian without gagging or vomiting anymore. And I can eat more than just 2 pieces at one time. That day, I ate 9 pieces of thick, creamy durian and I wanted more but I refrained myself from eating more coz I know that durian is fattening and is high in cholesterol.

Be sure to go for a jog or hit the gym after you feast on the durians!

It is well known that our bodies are exposed to harm from outside and within. The food we eat daily is one of the main causes for our good health or sickness. And amazingly, the body system was created to automatically get rid of harmful bacteria and toxins. As such many health companies aim at finding ways to assist the body to clear the toxins. One such companies is Zeo Health Ltd. The company products are based on zeolites. Okay, what is zeolites?

Zeolites are natural volcanic minerals. Yes, volcanic minerals. These are found in hardened lava when the lava flows into the sea. The chemical reaction between the ash from the volcano and the salt from the sea created minerals like zeolites. So what is special about zeolites?

Well, zeolites is negatively-charged minerals and it has a very unique large, vacant spaces structure (like a cage). Naturally, positively charged ions in the body will be attracted to it and trapped in it (like being trapped in a cage). The body would then eliminate it through the normal process.

I did not notice it then but when one of my customers told me about it, I began to observe what was happening at my neighbor clinic. I noticed that many times a few lorry drivers would drop by in the clinic and after just a few minutes they would be out and on their way. There is definitely not enough time for them to see the doctor.

My customer told me that these lorry drivers are drug addicts and they buy methadone from the clinic. Every time they experienced methadone withdrawal they would come to the clinic to buy their supply. I am not sure whether methadone is part of the drug addiction treatment that was prescribed and allowed by the government.

I always thought that the drug addicts must have a clean break from drug usage if they want to be rehabilitated. Now, what I am seeing is the addicts keep on returning to get their supply for their addiction. I must do more research on this matter before I comment further. One thing for sure, makes sure you have all the facts about the rehab center before enrolling for treatment.

With the impending economic slowdown, and many are out of jobs while thousands more will be joining the unemployed. The mere thoughts of losing your job can cause tremendous stress especially to those who have bills to pay and debts to settle. Thousands more from the colleges and universities who will graduate will find no jobs waiting for them. Career Counseling will be something that they should consider. In times like these they can’t be so choosy. As long as the daily needs are met, it is indeed a blessing. What is more important is that we must keep our sanity intact.

Stress and pressures at work or the thoughts of having no money can be too heavy to bear. If you feel that you really cannot take the pressure anymore, by all means go and find Depression Treatment Centers. Minimize your spending and find ways to live within your means.

It will always be difficult, but it is still better than losing your sanity.

Buying a spectacle could be a daunting task for many. Check out the Incredible Stylish New Frames From Zenni and you will have the idea of how difficult it could be to decide on buying one. Most people would be attracted to the branded and stylish spectacles featured on the media. You might have known that Zenni Optical was on FOX news! and many other branded spectacles which I would not go into detail.

Buying a spectacle should not be done on impulse but after weighing various factors. Briefly, these factors are cost, design of the spectacle, durability of the spectacle, purpose of wearing and last but not least the prescription of the lenses. If cost is the main issue, you can check out Zenni Optical $ 8 Rx Eyeglasses and find a good spectacle at affordable prices. The first four factors are determined mainly by your own likings and so I will concentrate on the prescription of the lenses.

1. Ultra-violet protection.
Make sure that your lenses are UV protected. If at all possible protect your eyes against excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This is a must in order to help your eyes stay healthy and prevent it from being further damaged. Excessive exposure to UV radiation can accelerate the risks of conjunctivitis and cataracts. Radiation comes not only from the sunlight, reflected sands or ice, but also from the computer monitors.

2. Sports wear
If you are a sports person and do vigorous sports activities and do not wish to wear contact lens, you might want to consider getting durable or “unbreakable” lenses for your spectacle.

3. Anti-reflection coating
Spectacle lenses can be provided with anti-reflection coatings which virtually eliminate distracting reflections off the lens surfaces. Reducing reflected light is particularly helpful for computer users and for night driving. Anti-reflection coatings also improve the cosmetic appearance of your glasses and can make thick lenses look thinner.

4. Scratch-resistant / hard coating
Plastic lenses are lighter than traditional glass lenses but they scratch more easily. Scratched lenses can be irritating for the wearer and look unsightly. Scratch-resistant coatings are available to protect against damage and prolong lens life.

There are various other factors that you might want to consider but the above are the main factors that you should at least consider before buying a spectacle. Healthy eyes enlightens your world.

If you are living in Indonesia, Malaysia or Singapore, you would be familiar with the annual haze problem we faced during the dry season. The burning of trees in Indonesia and the burning peat soils in caused the smoke to envelop the skies of these three countries. Sometimes the haze problem could be very critical that the government had to declare a state of emergency on certain areas of the country. The air pollution became too hazardous to the health of the people.

It is advisable for you to install air purifier if you can afford one. Where should you install the air purifier? The best place to install the air purifier is at the place where you would spend most of your time throughout the day. Clean air is essential to a healthy body. Without air you can die in less than 5 minutes. However, polluted air can caused various health complications. That is why it is important for the body to breathe in clean air. There are many air purifier products from various companies that you can check out and compare. One such company is EcoQuest International. Just make sure that you find the product that suits you best.

How do you evaluate the value of an employee in a certain company? What are the factors that need to be considered? Do you go by his academic achievements or by his years of experience? One way is to get to know him personally buy spending time with him. Another easier and indirect approach is to employ a company like Korn/Ferry International to have an evaluation done on him. Okay, maybe you need not employ to evaluate the value of the janitor or clerk in your company. You however should consider it if you want to know more about the CEO of a certain company that you are interested to buy or merge with your company.

Dennis C Carey, Senior Client Partner of Korn/Ferry International would agree that information about the human capital and intelligence plays a very important role when making decisions to buy or merge with another company. Rightly so because at the end of the day, the success of any company is determined largely by its human capital. It would be disastrous to buy a company that may appear good on paper but is full of weaknesses inside. We need “healthy” people to build up a healthy company.
