Regular Health Mistakes
All of us make little health mistakes that cause damage to our bodies in the long run - simply because we are unaware we are doing something wrong. Here are some of the most common mistakes made by many of us.
Crossing our legs
Do you cross your legs at your knees when sitting? Although we may believe that this is the lady-like elegant way to sit, sitting this way cuts down circulation to your legs. If you don"t want varicose veins to mar the beauty of your legs and compromise your health, uncross your legs every time you realise you have one knee on top of the other. The best way to sit is to simply place both legs together on the floor, balancing your weight equally. If you feel like changing position, instead of crossing your legs, simply move both legs together to one side. As an alternative, you could also consider crossing your legs loosely at the ankles. This is a classically elegant way to sit, and is far better for your legs and your health than sitting with your legs crossed at your knees.
Not changing our toothbrush
How often do you change your toothbrush? Most of us wait until most of the bristles have either fallen off, or are in such bad shape that we"d be embarrassed to pull out our brush in public. However, since not many of us need to pull out our brush in public, we carry on with our frayed one until we lose it. Replace your toothbrush often. Damaged bristles can harm the enamel, and don"t massage your gums well. If you find brushing your teeth a pain like I do, but know you must do it, you might as well be doing it right. Imagine going through the annoyance of brushing your teeth twice a day only to find out that you"re damaging your enamel every time you clean your teeth. Also, use a brush with soft bristles unless your dentist has advised otherwise.
Eating out often
There are oils that are high in cholesterol, and oils that cause little harm and are better for your heart. However, no matter how light the oil is, it is never a good idea to eat too much of it. Avoid fried foods.Remember that in all probability your favourite Indian food restaurant throws a huge, HUGE chunk of butter in a tiny bowl of dal. Rita, who worked in the kitchen of a 5 star hotel, was shocked when she saw the cook chop a 500gm butter slab in half, and throw half into a Paneer Makhani dish. No wonder the customers left licking their fingers. And no wonder they felt so stuffed and heavy afterwards. Limit outdoor eating unless you know that you"re getting served light and healthy food.
High heels
High heels sure look great, but they're murder for your back. This however doesn't mean you should steer clear of stilettos. Wear them, but not when you know you will be walking around a lot. Wear them when going out for lunch or dinner - when the only walking you will be doing is to your car, to the table, and back. Avoid high heels when you are going somewhere on foot. If you are constantly tempted to wear your heels, take a good look at your flats. Is there something about them you dislike? Invest in a new pair of beautiful flats or shoes with a low heel. Buy something you love, that you will enjoy wearing. If possible, get a matching bag. You will then enjoy your flats as much as you do your heels.
Sleeping on a soft bed
You don't have to sleep on the floor be kind to your back, but do make sure you have a firm mattress. Although a mattress on springs is soft and lovely to sink into, it's bad for your back. If you already have an old bed with springs, you don't need to invest in a new one - simply get a thick wooden plank put over the springs, and place the mattress on the plank. Similarly, if your mattress is old and lumpy, throw it out and get a new one. Your neck and your back will thank you. The same rule applies to sofas. If you will be spending hours on a sofa, get a firm yet comfortable one. Sofas you completely sink into are not the best idea.
Pillows
No matter how comfortable sleeping with ten cushions is, have pity on your neck and resist. Sleep with one pillow, and make sure it is not too thick. If your pillow gets lumpy, discard it and go for a new one. Get a thin pillow if you sleep on your stomach, and something a little thicker if you sleep on your back, to give your neck adequate support
Not exercising
So all of us know we should exercise more, but many of us don't. This is a health mistake we consciously make! And why is that? Simply because we refuse to admit the damage we are causing to our bodies by not working out. A number of people only start working out once they've experienced a warning signal. Don't wait for a heart attack to strike before you decide to opt for a lifestyle change. Make the change now. You don't need to train for the marathon to be in top shape. Half an hour of brisk walking three to four times a week will make a world of difference to your health. You could then increase this to forty minutes, four times a week - and you're all set. If you haven't exercised for a week, you're making a mistake.
Crossing our legs
Do you cross your legs at your knees when sitting? Although we may believe that this is the lady-like elegant way to sit, sitting this way cuts down circulation to your legs. If you don"t want varicose veins to mar the beauty of your legs and compromise your health, uncross your legs every time you realise you have one knee on top of the other.

Skipping breakfast
Never, ever skip breakfast. Remember, when you wake up in the morning it"s been around 10-12 hours since your last meal. Your body needs food now, more than at any other time. Eat a heavy breakfast. You will then be busy through the day, and the calories will get expended quickly. If you are trying to diet, eat a light dinner. Here are some more common health mistakes we make. Being informed and making a few changes can help make us feel a whole lot better.High heels

Kenapa Allah menghilangkan lidah ikan?
| |
Rasululllah s.a.w bersabda: " sejahat-jahat manusia pada hari kiamat nanti
ialah orang yang bermuka dua. Barangsiapa bermuka dua di dunia maka
di hari kiamat kelak dia akan mempunyai dua lidah dari lidah dari
lidah api neraka jahannam".
Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w lagi: "tidak akan masuk syurga orang yang suka
membesar-besarkan cerita". Pabila ditanya apa hikmahnya, Baginda s.a.w menjawab: "
sesungguhnya Allah s.w.t telah menciptakan semua makhluk itu mempunyai lidah, sama ada
yang boleh berkata-kata ataupun yang tidak boleh berkata-kata. "
Salah seorang sahabat pun bertanya, "kenapa ikan tidak mempunyai lidah?"
Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w: " Setelah Allah selesai men ciptakan Adam a.s.
maka diperintahkan sekelian malaikat agar tunduk sujud kepadanya. Semua malaikat patuh
pada perintah itu kecuali iblis laknat. Oleh kerana iblis enggan sujud, maka Allah melaknatnya
serta mengusirnya keluar dari syurga dan dihapuskan rupanya yang elok itu lalu dihantar iblis itu
ke bumi. Apabila diturunkan ke bumi, iblis terus menuju ke laut. Pertama
sekali yang dijumpai oleh iblis ialah ikan.
Iblis pun menceritakan akan keburukan serta kekurangan Adam kepada
ikan, katanya, "sesungguhnya Adam itu amat suka memburu dan membunuh
binatang-binatang yang ada di lautan dan juga di daratan". Apabila ikan mendengar kata-kata
iblis itu ia pun segera menghebahkannya kepada binatang laut yang lain berita tentang Adam a.s.
Oleh kerana Allah tidak menyenangi perbuatan ikan inilah lalu dihilangkannya lidah ikan
agar tidak lagi dapat menyampaikan berita yang tidak sebenarnya.
Oleh itu, marilah kita "jaga" lidah kita supaya tidak hilang seperti lidah ikan. Berkatalah yang baik,
kerana kata-kata yang baik itu adalah sedekah.

AN INSULT TO ISLAM!
Assalamualaikum my friends,
I would like to share with you the sadness my husband and I encountered on Friday, 7th Dec. We received an enveloped, handwritten with my husband's name on it, posted to us. In the envelope contained a very small book. At first glance, the book entitled, 'Who is Allah', looked very innocent. We thought it was from the mosque or some Muslim organizations. The content of the book is a comic. Finding the approach very interesting, my hubby started reading the book.
However, to his surprise, it was deliberately written to spoil the image of Allah. The book was written with the intention to state that Allah is a fraud and that Christianity or rather Jesus is the true god of eternity. Dear Sis and Bro, I've attached some of the segments in the book for you. When I read the book, both my husband and I cried. We could not believe that this malicious book could ever be produced and the intention of the sender to send it to a Muslim is really mean and unjust.
Dear Sis and Bro, can you imagine if our children get hold of such books and soon believed in it? Wallahualam. Especially those whose parents are ignorant about what their children are reading. This kind of print or any similar prints are like water dripping into a stone. As more and more of such prints are made and more of our young Muslims were to read them, slowly this untrue fact will be embedded. Before this happen, educate your children Ukhrawi and made known to them that there are malicious people who just want to sway their IMAN. Astagfirullah ALLAHUAKHBAR!
As for me, my husband is still considering a police report. But we are trying to make our friends aware of this malicious attempt by irresponsible and hateful people.
