Healthy Eating: Oats
Last week, I covered on raisins and its benefits. Today, I will briefly write on oats. Oats has existed in many forms and in many varieties and my all time favorite will be Quaker Oats and I am going to cover some aspects on it. This brand has been in existence for 130 years!
History of Quaker Oats – get to know briefly the downs and ups of this company
http://www.quakeroats.com/about-quaker-oats/content/quaker-history.aspx
Even in oats, there are varieties such as “Old Fashioned”, “Quick”, “Instant” and “Steel Cut”. Don’t understand what I am saying? Refer to the below link, with pictures and details….

People these days are environment conscious and going “green”. Below is Quaker Oats part of being environmentally friendly….

And my simple version of oatmeal “snack” is with raisins (Sunmaid). That is something I can never resist….
As mentioned earlier, or simple logic, each of us vary in our nutritional needs.
Practice moderation for any kind of food and always have a variety of greens and colors….
Have liquids in your daily diet – in the form of water, juice and soups…and most importantly, remember to add qualities like gratitude and positiveness in your daily life!
Let’s all enjoy the goodness of oats! 🙂

Healthy Eating: Raisins
Everyone would have eaten raisins in our life. Raisins are actually dried grapes. And when I mention raisins, what brand comes to your mind first? Well, for me will be the red boxes SUN MAID. It is widely available in many countries around the world.
Do you know that the “Sun-Maid girl” really existed?
Her name was Lorraine Collett Petersen.
Read the below link to know the history of the “Sun-Maid girl”
http://www.sunmaid.com/cp_sm_subm/the-sun-maid-girl
And coming to the benefits of raisins, we know of some….here is to know more of it….
http://www.sunmaid.com/cp_sm_subm/frequently-asked-questions#q1
History of raisins, anyone? Of course, being a Humanities person, I shall never stop searching for histories of anything…From Ancient Egyptian time, let’s trace the history of raisins….
http://www.sunmaid.com/cp_sm_subm/history-of-raisins-and-dried-fruit
Other than the above, if you constantly have sweet cravings and do not want to indulge in sweet things all the time, try popping some raisins into your mouth. The sweet feeling will subside and you will not be craving for any more sweet things.
And if you are also an oatmeal fan, try adding some raisins into your oat porridge – it is sure yummy and healthy too.
You can also try the same with bran flakes. It helps increase the fiber in your body. But do take note that you must drink enough fluids such as water and juice to “soften” the fiber in your system.

Healthy Living: Myths of Drinking Water
There are many times we are told to drink so much water daily. But is that the truth?
There are many articles in support or disputing it – I am not here to prove anyone right or wrong.
The simple logic I have is that each of our body systems knows how much water we need and it will act accordingly. It is no use forcing yourself to drink water. Once the thirst hits you and you crave for water, go for it. Read the below article or you can also search on your own other articles….
Happy Drinking! 🙂
From The New York Times, “No, You Do Not Have to Drink 8 Glasses of Water a Day” by Aaron E. Carroll

Gemstone, Crystals and Minerals – Part 3
Continuation from part 2….
Now coming to crystal water. I drink water daily treated via crystals and it is called VitaJuwel. I have several collection of the bottles and also the vials. Even my pet cats are drinking the gemstone water, for their health and wellbeing.
Gemstone water is not new to the market. Since ancient days, gemstones have been used to purify water.
I purchase these items in Singapore. All information can be found in the below links (scroll after the pictures for the list of links).
I share this as personally myself, my family, my friends and pet cats are benefiting from it. Simple changes to daily routine in our life will make it more healthy and worthwhile. Why not consider switching to gemstone water instead?
You can “taste” the difference of water of each blend and also can feel the difference. Putting crystal stones directly into water for drinking purpose is not healthy as we will not be sure of the impurities present. But using VitaJuwel bottles and vials is definitely a better choice as the crystals are packed nicely in glass.
