Tips I recently came across
After biting into a burning hot chili pepper, try dosing the flames with a sip of milk or a few bites of a dairy product. Using water or soda just opens the taste buds to keep it burning. Also, a sip of an alcoholic drink will lessen the burn, because the alcohol works with the natural protein of the pepper and neutralizes the enzyme casein that is released by the chili. (sounds like margarita-time to me!) ---------------------------------------------------- 1. MINOR BURN - Use Colgate or Crest Toothpaste 2. BEE STINGS - Use Meat Tenderizer 3. DANDRUFF - Pour On The Vinegar 4. FOGGED GLASSES - Use Colgate Toothpaste 5. GRASS STAINS - Karo Syrup 6. GREASE STAINS - Use Coca Cola -------------------------------------------------------- To achieve a radiant glow, try squeezing an orange and using your finger tips to pat the juice onto your face. The liquid will evaporate leaving your skin glowing and you will also get the added benefits of the antioxidant vitamin C. To get baby soft skin, try mashing up a banana and rubbing it on the dry patches of your skin. Leave the mixture on for 5 minutes and then rinse well. Also, the potassium in the banana will help get ride of any dark circles under your eyes. For the ultimate hair conditioner mash up a ripe mango with 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt and 2 egg yolks. Blend the ingredients together and then work the mixture into your hair. Cover your head and let set for 20 minutes. Finally shampoo your hair throughly and voila! soft shiny hair. ---------------------------------------------- Honey just might be the best pre-exercise energy source. Honey has been found as a better pre-exercise carbohydrate than other sweet treats used to energize, such as candy and soft drinks. Studies show that eating as little as 3 tablespoons of honey an hour before you workout can keep you from losing steam during your workout. Honey seems to give you more energy flow than other sugars do. This one is almost too easy. Drinking 5 glasses of water a day can reduce your chances of getting a heart attack by 50%. Other fluids like juice, tea, or milk won't do it, your body needs water. Remember, water keeps your body hydrated, which allows your kidneys to function properly, your stomach to digest, it keeps your joints lubricated, your lungs breathing, your temperature warm, and your body to feel energized and alive. If your feeling lethargic or have a headache, its a good possibility that you're just dehydrated. It's your body reminding you to go get a glass of water. Almonds have as much protein per ounce as red meat. Adding almonds into your diet has shown to help reduce the risk of heart attacks by as much as 50%. This result is due to the good-for-your-heart vitamin E found in almonds. Monounsaturated fats can decrease your bad LDL cholesterol levels and increase your good HDL cholesterol levels. Antioxidants help keep your arteries young. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
