Daily Tips: How to tell your EGGs are bad or fresh ??

Fresh?? or Bad???
Have you ever wondered how long have your eggs been sitting in your refrigerator? Already one month? Two months?? Without the egg box, surely there is no way of knowing when you puchase them.

Recently, I did some online searching and found out that actually there is a simple and quick test which can let us know if the egg is still fresh or bad. All you need is just a bowl of water and your eggs.

Please find below for the steps :

  1. Fill a bowl of water and slowly place the eggs into the water.
  2. Monitor the eggs. If the egg is fresh, it will sink to the bottom and lay flat. Semi-fresh egg will tend to float and stand in an upright position. Lastly, the bad egg will just float at the top without sinking at all. Do not eat this kind of eggs.


By the way, I found an "eggs testing" video clip from youtube, and would like to share with you guys......The video is straight to the point...

Cold drink with meal will solidify the fat from our food, and slow down the digestion. Moreover, this solidified fat will even block absorption of nutrients to our body....

Daily Tips : About coffee.....

Recently, there has a research found that, drinking more coffee reduced the likelihood that patients would be hospitalised for irregular heart-beats. They had conducted a study of 130,054 adults and found that people who drank four cups or more of coffee daily had an 18% lower risk of suffering irregular heartbeats and other heart-rhythm conditions than non-coffee drinkers. On the other hands, it also showed that the risk of hospitalisation was 7% lower for people who drank 1-3 cups of coffee daily. However, the researcher warned that the finding does not prove a cause-and-effect relationship between reduced risk and coffee drinking or that coffee protects the heart against such irregularities.......

Too much of fluoride can actually cause stains!!!

Nowadays, we brush our teeth at least twice a day. We know that fluoride is good for our teeth, but did you know that too much of it can actually cause stains? Recently, I read an article from a local newspaper, it stated that, excessive amounts of fluoride during tooth formation (in childhood) can lead to areas of chalky white spots on your enamel.

So do take note ya... :)
