New HYGI Hand Towels - The Hygienic Way To Dry Your Hands Written by Tzaf
BUG ALERT! - How clean is your hand towel?Says A Kirk MSc AIEMA Consultant Environmental Microbiologist - "Ordinary hand towels used at home in kitchens and cloakrooms are ideal breeding grounds for bacteria fuelled by their shared and frequent use, temperature and humidity and a ready source of 'nutritional factors'. In fact, bacteria on a hand towel can multiply from 1 to 3 million in a matter of just four hours, to 1 billion after three days normal use and to 100 billion by end of week! So chances are that once you dry your freshly washed hands with a bacteria ridden towel - they will be even dirtier afterwards" The answer - A world first! Microfibre HYGI HAND TOWELS Anti bacterial Anti Fungal Superabsorbent * Incorporating Ionic Silver Ag+, HYGI HAND TOWELS inhibit growth and spread of bacteria and fungus including E Coli and Salmonella - effective for life of towel. * Neutralise bacteria that cause odour, mustiness and mildew - and prolongs freshness. * Superabsorbent means that HYGI HAND TOWELS dry hands FASTER. Most people take an average of just 8 seconds to dry their hands, which means that hands are often still damp after drying on an ordinary cotton hand towel. And - damp hands are 1000 times more likely to transfer bacteria!

It is a must for all of us to be conscious of proper nourishment that our body needs. While all of us are aware that it is important to have an intake of three complete meals per day, with at least snacks in between, many, though, are not very conscious of meeting body’s daily nutritional needs, while attending to their daily menu. Knowing importance of balancing each meal according to necessary nourishment needed by our body will help greatly in minimizing risks of disease, sickness or infections. It would also minimize even physical, mental and emotional stress.Now that we realize that proper strategizing of our daily meals to meet up with required nutritional needs of our bodies, let’s begin going back to lessons we have learned about GO, GROW and GLOW FOODS way, way back in our childhood education. To meet our body’s daily energy needs, in order to minimize risks of chronic disease, adults should get 45% - 65% of their calories from carbohydrates, 20%-35% from fat, (the GO foods of our childhood studies), and 10% - 35% from protein. This is from newest report on recommendations for healthy eating from National Academies’ Institute of Medicine. We must also watch out for size of our protein portion. Most women need a daily intake of only about 6 ounces (cooked) of meat, chicken, fish or a substitute like cheese or eggs. Each one should look out for their daily consumption of protein. Excess protein can mean extra fat, and high amounts of protein may increase calcium losses in urine. Raw food and fresh juices have remarkable cleansing and regenerating effect on entire system, as they retain all their nutrients, which might get destroyed while processing and cooking. And of course, it is very important to keep track of our natural vitamin intake. Eat 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day, especially those high in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, beta-carotene, and fiber. In general, a serving is 1 small piece of fruit, half a cup of cooked or canned fruits and vegetables, or 1 cup raw.
