The main causes of liver damage are:
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3 . Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.

6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil.
As much as possible reduce
cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils
like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except
if the body is20very fit. 8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more.
We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.'
The top five cancer-causing foods are:
1. Hot Dogs
Because they are high in
nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no
more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy
those made without sodium nitrate.
2. Processed meats and Bacon
Also high in the same sodium
nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the
risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to
cancer.
3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.
4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures.
They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries,
said Adams .
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep.
It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other,
stretched out to the fullest extent possible.
I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom!
If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered.
Also, I have been using the bathroom for years
canine/feline

Potatoes may Help Lower Blood Pressure.
Potatoes may Help LOWER Blood Pressure.
Purple ones, that is...
Eating potatoes can benefit blood pressure
Without causing Weight Gain!!
Purple potatoes are not only prettier than
your average spud, they have higher levels of polyphenol antioxidants to
protect body cells against free radical damage.
Pity the potato. It's widely
blamed for the fattening of America. But a small new study found that daily consumption of a certain
type of potato -- purple ones, that is --- can help lower blood
pressure, without causing weight gain.
The research, conducted by Joe Vinson, a chemistry professor at the
University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, tracked 18 overweight or obese,
hypertensive subjects who either ate six to eight small purple potatoes,
with skins, at both lunch and dinner
(for a daily total of 218 calories), or had no potatoes as part of
their "normal" diet for four weeks. Then the participants crossed over
to the other regimen.
On average, diastolic blood pressure -- the bottom number in a blood
pressure reading -- dropped by a statistically significant 4.3 percent
and systolic blood pressure -- the top number in a blood pressure
reading -- dropped by 3.5 percent.
While eating potatoes, most of the subjects -- even those on
anti-hypertensive medications -- experienced lower blood pressure, and
none of the subjects gained weight.
Although less popular than their white counterparts, purple potatoes —
increasingly available at supermarkets, specialty food stores and
farmers' markets — boast higher levels of polyphenol antioxidants that
protect body cells against free radical damage that can increase disease
risk. To preserve these powerful plant chemicals, subjects in Vinson’s
study were asked to microwave their potatoes instead of using other
cooking methods.
While research from larger sample sizes is needed, Vinson says the
findings "provide at least some evidence that eating potatoes might be
preventative like drinking coffee to reduce blood pressure." He notes
that, like coffee, potatoes are high in a specific polyphenol called
chlorogenic acid that has been shown to lower blood pressure in mice.
The study, not yet published, was presented this week at the American Chemical Society National Meeting in Denver.
The new research may help redeem the potato's nutritional rep. While a
recent Harvard study
found that having an extra daily serving of potatoes caused a
small but significant weight gain (1 to 2 pounds) over a four year
period, a closer look at the data reveals that weight gain from French
fries was 6 times higher (3.35 pounds) than from boiled, baked, or
mashed potatoes (0.6 pounds).
"The high cooking temperatures used to make French fries and potato
chips seem to destroy most of the healthy substances in potatoes and
leave mainly starch, fat and minerals," according to Vinson. Although
the new study didn't include unfried red- and white-skinned potatoes,
Vinson believes they will prove to produce similar body weight and blood
pressure effects in future, larger human studies.
Indeed, potatoes can be a healthful addition to any diet, even if
you’re trying to lose weight. They’re naturally low in calories, fat,
cholesterol, and sodium, and rich in vitamins and minerals including
vitamin C, an antioxidant that protects against cellular damage and
potassium, a mineral that helps balance body fluids and negate possible
blood pressure-raising effects of a high sodium diet. Potatoes also pack
in fiber that may promote fullness and aid weight management.
To maximize possible nutritional and health benefits and minimize
calories, lightly sauté, mash, or microwave potatoes instead of frying
them and watch how you dress them. My favorite potatoes are red
oven-roasted potatoes, cut in quarters, drizzled with extra virgin olive
oil, some balsamic vinegar, and a pinch each of garlic and onion
powder. Sweet potatoes cut into French fries and baked with a pinch of
paprika and sea salt are also smart options.
Some recommendations for preparing potatoes from Jackie Newgent, R.D., author of "Big Green Cookbook:"
- Hash browns: Combine diced or sliced unpeeled potatoes with shallots and some chili pepper in a little olive oil. Cover first to steam, and then remove the lid, add garlic and scallions, and sauté until done. Finish with a handful of fresh herbs including parsley and rosemary.
- Mashed potatoes: Keep potato skins on to maximize nutrients and add home-style appeal. For creamy moistness, use almond milk. Also add roasted garlic for extra flavor (and potential heart-heath benefits).
- Baked or microwaved potatoes: Top with one pat of butter, a large dollop of plain Greek yogurt, and a generous amount of fresh chives or scallions. Or add zing with a dollop of tzatziki dip (a Greek dip made with yogurt, chopped cucumber, and mint).
- Potato salad: For 2 pounds potatoes, use 4 tablespoons mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons stone-ground or Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar. Serves 6.

Purple Potatoes Lower Blood Pressure
Minus the Fatty Fixings, Antioxidants in Potatoes May Lower Blood Pressure
Reviewed by
Laura J. Martin, MD
Aug. 31, 2011 -- A daily dose of purple potatoes served plain may help your heart. That is, if you steer clear of the deep fryer and fatty toppings.
A new study shows that people who ate plain purple potatoes
cooked in the microwave twice a day for a month lowered their blood
pressure by 3%-4% without gaining weight.
Researchers say the blood
pressure-lowering effects are likely due to the high concentration of
antioxidants found naturally in potatoes. Antioxidants protect your body
from molecules called “free radicals” that can damage healthy cells.
But the frying process destroys the healthy substances in potatoes.
"Mention 'potato' and people think 'fattening, high carbs, empty
calories.' In reality, when prepared without frying and served without
butter, margarine, or sour cream, one potato has only 110 calories and
dozens of healthful phytochemicals and vitamins,” researcher Joe Vinson,
PhD, of the University of Scranton, in Pennsylvania, says in a news
release. “We hope our research helps to remake the potato's popular
nutritional image."
Researchers say potatoes contain a variety of potentially
beneficial phytochemicals at similar levels as broccoli, spinach, and
Brussels sprouts.
Potatoes’ Surprising Effect
In the study, 18 overweight and obese people with high blood pressure
either ate six to eight small purple potatoes (about the size of a golf
ball) with the skins twice daily or no potatoes, as a part of their
normal diet for four weeks.
The results showed that people who ate purple potatoes lowered
their diastolic (the bottom number in a blood pressure reading) blood
pressure by an average of 4.3% and systolic (the top number) by 3.5%.
Researchers say that blood pressure-lowering effect is nearly the same as with oatmeal.
Although the study used purple potatoes, which can increasingly
be found in farmers markets, researchers say red and white potatoes may
have similar effects.
They say the results are especially noteworthy because 14 of the 18 people in the study were already taking drugs
to control their high blood pressure, yet still experienced a further
lowering of their blood pressure. No other changes in body weight or cholesterol were found as a result of adding potatoes to the peoples’ diet.
Researchers say the potato is the most eaten vegetable in the U.S., but it’s gotten a bad rap.
"The potato, more than perhaps any other vegetable, has an
undeserved bad reputation that has led many health-conscious people to
ban them from their diet," Vinson says.
The results of the study were presented this week at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Denver.
Personal Finance: How to clean up ID theft mess
Personal Finance: How to clean up ID theft mess
Police unveiled one of the largest identity-theft scandals in New York last week, with authorities arresting 111 suspects tied to a global crime ring based largely in Queens. Using stolen credit- card data, the thieves rang up millions of dollars’ worth of luxury merchandise and services all over the world.
For the unfortunate victims of this crime — or any ID theft scandal — they will need to clean up the mess on their own.
Here’s some immediate advice:
Contact one of the three major credit-reporting agencies — TransUnion, Equifax and Experian — to place a fraud alert on your file, which should prevent more false accounts from being opened in your name. Here’s their contact info:
Place a fraud alert
- TransUnion - 1-800-680-7289www.transunion.com
Equifax - 1-800-525-6285www.equifax.com
Experian - 1-888-397-3742
www.experian.com
Review your credit reports
When you place a fraud alert on your credit file, you’re able to receive a free copy of your credit report — one from each of the three agencies. Check your reports for any incorrect information.
Close bogus accounts
Dispute credit cards or bank accounts that were illegally opened in your name by notifying both the credit-reporting agency that lists the false information and the fraud department at the related bank or creditor. Banks and creditors should issue you fresh cards with new account numbers.

How To Be Organized:
How To Organize Coats
Instantly upgrade your coat closet, or any closet for that matter, by
replacing mismatched hangers with matching ones. This will create a
uniform look and give an overall neatened appearance to your coat
closet. The best hangers for coats are wide-shoulder wooden hangers,
which bear weight better than plastic ones. The contour of the hanger
will keep the shape of coats, and the width will ensure space between
coats and prevent them from wrinkling.
To maximize closet space, hang short and longer coats in two separate
groups.
This way, you can utilize the space under the short coats to
store other items.
Face all coats in the same direction, noting that the
curved side of the hanger (if it has one) goes to the front.
If coat
closet space is tight, then limit how many coats each family member
keeps there.
This will make it an active, user-friendly closet rather
than a storage closet.
Store off-season coats elsewhere.
Aim to leave
space in the closet (and a few empty hangers) for guest coats
