Don’t settle for the one you can live with, wait for the one you can’t live without.

Love is two hearts beating as one.

You know you are in love when you can’t stand being around that person, but when you leave you can’t stand being away from them.

Love is when you don’t want to go to sleep because reality is better than a dream.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

Meeting you was fate, becoming you’re friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control.

2 hearts, 2 souls, 1 beat.

I looked at a flower and thought it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen till I met you.

Don’t lose the one you love for the one you like because the one you like might lose you for who they love.

Love is a very strong word. Use it with extreme caution.

A life without love, is like a year without summer.

Faith makes all things possible.

Hope makes all things work.

Love makes all things beautiful.

The Meaning of Love in Human Terms (Pt 2)

Love doesn’t make the world go round, it just makes the ride worthwhile.

Love is in your heart not to stay, but to be shared.

The most amazing feeling in the world is to look at someone you really care about and know they feel the same way about you!

Love Is like a war… Easy to start but difficult to end!

Love is a journey that never ends with a destination.

Loving someone is not a picture you paint in your mind of yourself being with them.

It’s realizing that you can’t live without them.

True love doesn’t have a happy ending because it doesn’t have an ending.

The best way to love is to love like you have never been hurt.

Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never met.

You know it’s love when all you want is for that person to be happy even if you’re not the reason behind that

happiness.

There are 3 great things in this world:

The first is for you to love someone.

The second is for someone to love you back.

And the third is for the first and second thing to happen at the same time.

Love is just a word till someone you meet gives it a meaning.

The Meaning of Love in Human Terms (Pt 1)

If you love someone, you give everything you can and don’t expect to receive anything in return.

Love can touch you just one time but it can last for a life time.

Love is giving someone the ability to hurt you but trusting them not to.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person;

An hour to appreciate them;

A day to love them;

But then an entire life to forget them …

No one is too young for love because love doesn’t come from your mind, which knows your age.

It comes from your heart, which knows no age.

Love is nothing if there is no one to share it with.

It’s hard to find someone whom you truly love, much less to find someone who loves you as much.

When the chance comes, don’t ever let go!

Love is to think about someone else more times in a day than you think about yourself.

Love is like sunshine. It brings a golden glow to its beholder’s face and a warm feeling all over their body.

It awakens souls and opens eyes.

When its over, it leaves billions of small memories called stars to remind the world that it still exists.

Do you love me because I am beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?

Loving someone isn’t when you picture yourself with them, it’s realizing that you can’t live without them.

Love is dangerous because you have to choose someone you know is going to be good to you and treat you with respect;

If you choose the wrong person then it will break your heart.

To be in true love means that you trust someone with everything.

Once in a while, most people love to chill with a glass of wine to relax themselves. This alcoholic drink is gaining popularity over the years due to its anti-ageing properties and not to mention on the other added health related benefits. However, when people are just starting out tasting wine and making it a part of their drinking routine, most people generally end completely clueless when it comes to choosing a good wine.

There are clearly no governing rules when it comes to buying and choosing a good wine. Though wine reviews and recommendations certainly do not hurt, most people would simply purchase anything that they feel they will like. But again ask yourself these couple of questions, how many times have you shied away from buying a particular brand of wine just because a friend told you that you most probably wouldn’t like it? And, have you ever tasted a wine which you didn’t fancy only to find out later that it actually have a number of rave reviews under its belt?

One thing you can be sure of is that choosing and buying a wine is all about personal taste. A particular brand of wine can cost as little as ten bucks, but if you like it, you like it. Likewise, you could have tried another brand of wine that cost a hundred bucks and completely not be swayed by it at all. Taste is subjective. Everyone’s taste bud is different. To tell you to drink a particular wine would be equivalent to telling you what food to eat specifically. The only way to figure out what you will really fancy, is to try as many wines as you can. Make a note of your favourites while wine tasting. Tasting is the most fun part when it comes to choosing a wine.

There are 4 main pointers to aid you in choosing a good wine. They are:

Pointer #1 – Colour of the wine

Use the colour of the wine as an indicator to determine its body and robustness. The darker the colour, the fuller the body and the more fragrant it gets while its vice versa for a lighter colour.

Pointer #2 – Texture of the wine

Look at the wine opacity, is it clear, cloudy or somewhere in between? Are there any sediments or specks of cork floating in it?

Pointer #3 – Aroma of the wine

Take a quick whiff of the wine and take a deeper breath of the wine through your nose. What do your fancy about the aroma?

Pointer #4 – Taste of the wine

Swirl a little wine in your mouth and take note of the initial taste. Next let a bit of air through your lips and swirl the wine into your mouth again using your tongue. Swallow the wine next and note the wine’s finishing taste or the aftertaste.

Wine tasting is an art itself. Choosing a good wine requires your sense of sight, taste and smell. The process is very straightforward and can be summarized into the 4 main pointers above. It’s that simple.

“Ouch! Arghh! Finally you heave a sign of relief! However, you felt a sharp pain while you were trying to release your stool. The next thing you noticed, there were tiny traces of reddish substance believed to be blood, that could be seen in the faeces you had excreted. Recalling the food you ate for the day, you couldn’t seem to remember any that provides clues to the existence of  the substance. However, you could feel the burning sensation and acute pain when cleaning yourself. You suspected tears around your anus. Those were the details you gave to your doctor during your visit to the clinic. One of the most common questions normally asked by the doctor would be, “do you consume fruits?” The model answer given by most people would be “yes” since everyone of us know that fruits are healthy and known for their rich anti-oxidants in fighting against deadly diseases such as cancer, preventing cell damage and anti-aging properties. But again some people may think that drinking fruit juice everyday is the same as consuming fruits. This assumption has caused misinformation and many people are confused between facts and myths. Are you one of them?

Let’s briefly describe the above scenario first. This scenario is one of the more common conditions that happen when one does not consume enough fiber. Constipation will definitely happen and your body will complain about the lack of fiber in your digestive system by using pain as a warning signal when you are doing your business in the toilet.

*3 Myths and Facts

Myth #1

I drink fruit juice daily. I think i am getting enough nutrients and anti-oxidants from the juices i drink everyday. I think there is no difference between consuming fruits and drinking fruit juices.

Fact

Drinking fruit juice is definitely not the same as consuming fruits. Why? This is because most of the fruit juices on the shelves of supermarkets, if not all, are pasteurised. This will mean that they possess lesser nutrients. Any fresh product, no matter how healthy it is that gets canned or packed, will lose vitamin b and potassium. When the product is exposed to air, it will start to lose its anti-oxidant qualities after about 20 minutes. You be better off eating the physical fruit instead.

Myth #2

I heard that fruit juices are high in carbohydrates and bad for health.

Fact

This is definitely misleading. Drinking fruit juice have beneficial qualities for your health. It will depend on when you drink the juices and whether the juices contains any added sugar. For example, drinking fruit juice after your workout will aid in replenishing body fluids and blood sugar, and also providing nutrients for your body. However, be careful of when you consume them as fruits contain high levels of sugar known as fructose, fruit juices contain even higher sugar due to the addition of sugar by manufacturers. This will quickly add up the calories and also causes insulin spikes detrimental to your health and weight management due to the high sugar content present. It is a sure fire way to put on weight if you consume fruit juice before bed time.

Myth #3

Since fruits are healthy, i can take medication with fruit juices instead of water.

Fact

Taking medication with any other fluids other than water is disastrous! Fruits are healthy, so are fruit juices depending on the sugar level. However, consuming medication with fruit juices is a totally different story. Certain fruit juices such as grapefruit juice can cause normal doses of medication to become toxic overdose as it causes the rate of absorption of specific medication to be absorbed quickly, while fruit juices such as orange juice may result in decreasing the effects of certain medication wiping out the beneficial effects from them.

*What you need to know when choosing fruit juices.

After clarifying some of the myths and facts about the difference between eating fruits and drinking“juices that appeared to be healthy”, the following are what you need to know when choosing fruit juices. Look out for any added sugar. Choose 100% pasturised juices without any added sugar only as they are healthier. Juice concentrates contain a lot of sugar and it will definitely contribute to a higher probability of diabetes and obesity. A easy way to know how much sugar is present in the product is to look at the amount of sugar per serving. Compare the serving with this measurement, one teaspoon of sugar or one sugar cube is roughly 4 grams. You should now have a rough idea of how much sugar you will be consuming per serving.
