Table of Contents Introduction Benefits of Proper Amounts of Salt The Substitution and Usage of Rock salt Ancient Thai medicine And Diet Crystallized and Refined Sugars Proper Ancient Thai Good Health Diet Bleached and Refined White Flour Margarine and Hydrogenated Oil Artificial Milk Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I was just fixing lunch, listening to a 1954 old-time radio program, starring Dick Powell. Richard Diamond was sponsored by Camel Cigarettes. I was shocked to hear that this radio program was telling about 198 million – yes, I have got the figures right – cigarettes, being sent to Army, Navy, and Air Force hospitals and camps, free of cost. The idea was to get men and women addicted to cigarettes. 138,781 doctors were supposedly asked about the brand of cigarettes they smoked in a cross-country nationwide survey, and they said “Camels.” No wonder the natural good health of a whole nation began deteriorating through deliberate misinformation given out by multibillion-dollar tobacco industries – smoke this mild cigarette for 30 days and you are not going to suffer from any throat irritation. Superstars smoke Camels, including Dick Powell. They of course did not tell you that Dick Powell died of tobacco addiction, tobacco poisoning, and cancer. I am surprised they did not start up a campaign for harmless "smokies" for your babies, keep them well occupied with a cigarette in their mouths… But I think that would have been a bit too much for even a credulous public to swallow, no pun intended. People finally came to their senses in the 80s, and decided to stop smoking. Even though the insidious propaganda and advertisements of this multibillion dollar industry still continues. But then man has always been self-destructive and nobody can teach him otherwise. This book is for all those people, who want to know something about the harmful long-term effects of refined foods, including salt and sugar, and how you can live a healthy life, without these poisons in your diet.

Table of Contents The Magic of Green Tea Table of Contents Introduction History of Tea How to recognize Green Tea How to Prepare Green Tea Health Benefits of Green Tea Best Detoxifying Agent Cardiovascular Diseases Stress Buster Weight Loss through Green Tea Cancer Fighting Properties Antiaging Properties Other Health Benefits Green Tea as a Beauty Aid Skin Rejuvenator Getting Rid of Sunburn Green Tea for Your Hair Traditional Green Tea Home Cure Remedies Basil leaf – green tea decoction Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Since ancient times, man has been looking for healthy drinks, which could promote good health, longevity, and vitality. Green tea comes in this category. A majority of us cannot do without the cup that cheers, early in the morning. Sometimes we may even find ourselves addicted to our cup of hearty java, first thing in the morning before we can wake up completely. But since ancient times, green tea has been such a major part of the lives of people who are very careful about their health, that it is no wonder that it is one of the most popular of natural healthy drinks going in the world today. The ancient Chinese preferred going without food rather than forfeit their cup of refreshing “Cha”. That is because tea was such a major part of Chinese culture in ancient times, that tea drinking ceremonies which were then adapted by Japan, were a major part of the social fabric. Even today, there are exotic teas which are going for thousands of dollars on the auction table, because they are considered to be such rare, distinguished and exotic beverages. Of the three major beverages of the world, tea is definitely the most popular. “Cha” is a word which is recognized all over the world, especially when one demands something refreshing to drink after a hard days’ work at the office or sitting doing that hard days’ work in the office. History of Tea Historically, tea has been assimilated in the social fabric for millenniums. Serendipity has a great hand in the knowledge of tea, like that of coffee. Coffee was supposedly found by a shepherd who had seen his goats eating some berries off a bush and then acting in a very enthusiastic and frisky manner. In the same way tea was supposedly discovered by a Chinese Emperor more than 3000 years ago. He was sitting in his garden and a few leaves of a fragrant camellia bush accidentally fell into a cauldron of boiling water in the vicinity. The resulting fragrance tempted the Emperor to sip this refreshing brew. And soon everybody in China was steeping the leaves of the Camellia in hot water and drinking the resulting infusion down. It was only later that the proper preparation of tea, in the form of drying the leaves, fermentation, oxidization and other tea preparation methods before it was packaged and sold to the consumers, became known globally down the ages. The Camellia sinensis plant is normally used for the preparation of green tea. The tea available in the market is normally found in 3 forms – black tea, green tea and oolong tea. All these teas are made through different phases of drying and intensity of the fermentation process. About 3 billion kgs of tea are consumed all over the world annually, of which the major tea drinkers are the Chinese, Japanese, Indians, which come up to 43% of the world population of tea drinkers. In ancient Eastern medicine, tea has been used as a relaxant, and healing drink. According to the Chinese, drinking lots of tea meant that you would not suffer from stomach problems, headaches, nervous tension, and any other disease, of which you could think. For the last 4000 years, tea has been an important ingredient used to cure people in alternative medicines in the East.

Introduction There are different levels on the endangered scale, including extinct, critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, near threatened, and least concern. Extinct animals are no longer living on the Earth, like the dinosaurs. Critically endangered means that animal is at an extremely high risk for becoming extinct in the wild. Endangered just means that an animal is at a very high risk for becoming extinct in the wild. The biggest threat to most animals is humans; we are destroying and taking over their habitats. Humans are also over killing and illegally hunting several endangered animals.

Table of Contents Introduction About Rhinoceroses What a Rhino Looks Like How Rhinos Act and Talk Threats to Rhinoceros White Rhinoceros Black Rhinoceros Indian Rhinoceros Javan Rhinoceros Sumatran Rhinoceros Interesting Facts about the Rhinoceros Rhinoceros in different cultures Conclusion Publisher Introduction Rhinos are one of the major attractions at most zoos and wildlife preserves. In Greek, the word rhinoceros means nose horn. There are species of rhino that live in Asia and Africa; the African rhinos are the biggest. Many rhinos will let an oxpecker ride on their back, in return the bird will watch for danger and make a loud sounding special alarm, if there is harm. Rhinoceroses like to live by themselves. They have really bad eyesight, so if you see when charging into a tree or ant hill, it's most likely because they cannot see very well.

Table of Contents Introduction Why Make a Lawn? Selection and Preparation of Land Drainage Drainage Systems Leveling When to Level? Begin Sowing Seed Planting Turf planting Lawn Maintenance Trying Your Hand at Hand Weeding Problems in Your Lawn First Cutting Feeding Your Lawn Quick Tips Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction The love of gardening and creating a thing of beauty is as old as the history of mankind. Many people are born with this innate desire no doubt inherited from their ancestors to feel the soil running through their fingers, and create a wonderful place where new life grows, in the shape of trees, flowers, herbs and shrubs. This is the reason why since ancient times people have been covering wide stretches and expanses of barren land with grass seeds. Soon, lawns covered with green became part of the familiar beauty of a garden. Just imagine a garden without any sort of lawn in it. Or better still, imagine a landscape full of trees, plants, and shrubs, interspersed with brown soil with no patches of green grass around to dispel the harsh color scheme of green and brown.

A Beginner’s Guide to Keeping Ducks - Keeping Ducks in Your Backyard Table of Contents Introduction Raising Ducks in Your Backyard Choosing Ducks Dabbling Ducks and Diving Ducks Incubation of Ducklings Artificial Incubation Brooding Cleaning duck eggs Ducks and drakes Housing Your Ducks How to Make a Grass Run Keeping a Small Flock Traditional House Dimensions Preventing Flight over Netting Breeding Ducks for the Table. Preparing Ducklings Ducks and Water Feeding Your Ducks. Layers Mash for Ducks What is Grass Meal? What is Bean Meal? Drinking Water Conclusion Author Bio Introduction It must have been somewhere, and some time millenniums ago, when man found that the Mallard and Muscovy that he hunted in the marshes, and brought home to his family was a bird which could be domesticated. One is not very certain about which particular civilization decided that duck brought up in your own farmyard, was a good source of eating for the whole family. Roast duck, broiled duck, duck with seasonings and herbs, even wild duck, along with their cousins, the geese and the swans made excellent fare especially during times, when other food resources were not so easily available. Geese and swans are definitely not considered ducks, though they belong to the same family. The original ancestral species is the same, even though the characteristics differ. Geese and swans are larger in size and can be found in seawater, as well as in freshwater. Ducks are smaller in size, but prefer freshwater habitats. In the same manner, you should not confuse ducks with other aquatic birds like divers, coots and grebes. All of them are good eating, but they are unrelated, except for their liking for water. Apart from the meat content and eggs, ducks have also been reared for their soft down. Drakes are larger in size, when compared to the female ducks. Some of the popular species are Muscovy ducks, Mallards Paradise Shelduck and Aylesbury . The bills are long, broad and sometimes, they are serrated so that the ducks can feed on easily filtered aquatic plant and animal species. A duck shoot has always been a popular occupation of people who enjoy hunting for gain, especially when you are shooting these birds on the wing. A duck cannot fly when it is molting, and it normally molts before the duck group’s migration to a warmer climate.

For a long time, coconut oil has been wrongly advertised as an unhealthy food product because of its high unsaturated fat content in order to promote other cooking oils such as canola. The common complaints against coconut oil were elevated cholesterol levels, risk of heart and brain disorders etc. Today, research has revealed that coconut oil, although comprising of 90% saturated fats, is quite safe for consumption and contrary to what was advertised, has dozens of health benefits of its own. From being a natural cooking oil that is delicious and having a high smoke point, to a healer of several serious diseases and preventer of a similar number, coconut oil is indeed a blessing of nature that has been misrepresented for a long time. This book aims to educate the reader on the health benefits of coconut oil and enable them to take full advantage of this healthy commodity in their lives so that they can reap all the health benefits of the oil and avoid any side effects that it may cause.

Table of Contents Preface Introduction Chapter 1 - Collecting water Discerning Filtration and Purification Chapter 2 - Filteration Techniques Building a water filter Chapter 3 - Purification techniques Boiling Filtration or purification pumps Purification drops and tablets Make an evaporation trap in the ground. Turning urine and salt water into drinkable water. Solar still Chapter 4 - Choose Your Snow Wisely How to melt snow the right way Does the water from snow need to be purified? Chapter 5 - Different Approaches to Hydration Chapter 6 - Minimising Water Loss Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Nothing, I repeat nothing, is more important than water for humans to live on this planet (well excluding oxygen though that’s obvious). Your body is made up of around 60-80% water and you cannot hope to continue performing your daily chores with the same efficiency if you don’t find enough water. Certainly the amount of usage of water varies depending upon the climate and activities you are involved in, but its presence is always required. In a moderate climate with low levels of activity, approximately 2 liters of water is required daily for a 160 lb person. Certainly when the climate changes or the level of activity turns to exercise, you need to increase this amount simultaneously. The first sign of dehydration may be discerned through the color of the urine. A normal hydrated body produces a pale yellow color, but a dehydrated body produces urine that is darker in color. To make sure that the body doesn’t dehydrate you need to not only meet the required quantity of water, but you also have to make sure that the water is clean. The reason why you constantly need to drink water is because your body continuously releases liquids and you need to maintain those levels. The release of liquids from your body is in the form of urination, sweating, excretion, and respiration. The liquids are released so that the toxins can be removed from your body and proper hydration makes this happen along with redistributing the nutrients in the body. Water also provides the pathway for electrical impulses to travel through nerve and brain cells to activate the muscles. The brain in itself is made up of 80% water.

The history of wasps and humans Yellow jacket Hornet Fig wasp Conclusion Author Bio Introduction Wasps are an insect most people know about and hate very much. At the same time, they know very little about them except that they can sting more than one time, and some kinds are kind of cranky. With most of them having the telltale yellow and black stripes, people know to steer clear of wasps. Yet, they don't have these colors just to warn people; there's more to the wasp's coloring than that. And many of them have entirely different coloring too, such as the green hornet. Most are familiar with the common wasp, but there are so many different kinds of wasps that there's no hope of including a good description of all of them even in a thousand page book. Some are small, some are huge. Some reproduce in different ways; others pollinate plants, and others don't. There's an incredible amount to know about the wasp and all its kinds. So, read on, and discover the things they never tell you about wasps.

And of course she found the house of her Prince charming, deep in the woods. Please understand that authors write such stupid books, because their publishers want them to write such unrealistic books. And nowadays, there is a trend of an expectant mother, going off in the snow, – naturally, she is a single mother, – and she has to reach her destination, in the snow, and naturally on page 2, there she is, the stupid wench, stuck in the snow and the ice. Any person who has two go out in the cold weather, especially when it is snowing is going to get stuck 88% of the time and this silly female is going to die of exposure/hypothermia.
