DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PAWPAW AND PAPAYA

Image
Pawpaw(asimina) and papaya are terms that are often used interchangeably and, in many cases, assumed to be references to the same type of fruit — a yellow, melon-like fruit that grows in many tropical climates. Despite the confusion, pawpaw and papaya are two separate species of plants, with the dominant papaya species called Carica papaya being grown in the West Indies, South America, and Hawaii, as well as India and other countries. There are roughly 45 well-cultivated species of papaya and these are sometimes also referred to loosely as paw paw. True pawpaw, however, is a member of the Asimina genus of eight species that are native to the North American countries of the US and Canada, and are much less widely cultivated and eaten there. One of the major differences  between pawpaw and papaya is in the size of the native plants from which the fruits are harvested. While papaya trees are true trees that can grow to a height of 33 feet (10 meters), pawpaw are considered ...

Health Dangers of Drinking Soda

Image
Numerous studies have shown the negative health effects of drinking soda on your waistline and your teeth. Drinking soda however, has far more health risks than many of us may realize. Regular consumption of sugary drinks is linked to numerous health problems including diabetes, heart disease, asthma, COPD and obesity. Not only do soft drinks offer no nutrition, they also contain harmful chemicals. Their high sugar content, often high-fructose corn syrup, can cause diabetes and affect the heart and liver. Preservatives like phosphoric acid can cause bone loss and kidney disease and citric acid can cause severe dental erosion. The caramel color in cola and the chemicals in the containers are also linked to cancer. Drink infused water or kombucha instead. The average American drinks approximately 56 GALLONS of soda a year . Some people even admit to drinking more soda than water each day, or no water at all. Soft drinks are a multi-billion dollar product, and they account for a quart...

PROFIT OR WAGES,WHICH IS BETTER (WISE WORDS OF AN ENTREPRENEUR)

Image
Jack MA , The Richest Man in China said: If you put Bananas and Money in front of Monkeys, Monkeys will choose Bananas because monkeys do not know that  Money can buy a lot of Bananas . IN REALITY, if you offer JOB and BUSINESS to people, they would choose JOB because most people do not know that BUSINESS can bring more MONEY than Wages. SIMILARLY Robert Kiyosaki Author of the best selling book "RICH DAD, POOR DAD" and also a business partner of Donald Trump said: "One of the reasons poor are poor, is because they are NOT TRAINED TO RECOGNIZE ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. They spend too much time in school and what they have learnt in school, is to WORK FOR WAGES instead of MONEY WORKING FOR THEM. "Profit is better than Wages, for Wages can make you a living but Profits can bring you a Fortune." THINK INVESTMENT  and stop fighting over increments of salaries, it still won't be enough ...... Heard this from a Professor to freshmen and women ...

FOODS THAT CAUSES CANCER WE CONSUME EVERY DAY

Image
We eat foods daily and we are not conscious of the foods we eat, how processed it is, how long it has been stored, its method of storage and many more. When your parents were young, no one was concerned about foods that cause cancer. The research was very young at the time, but there were also far less processed foods on the market, people ate healthier and more pure foods, because that was what was available to them. I point this out because you’ll note that several of the most common (and aggressive) cancers have to do with your gastrointestinal system. The function of your body that processes the food you eat, distributes it around your body as needed, and does its best to dump the leftover toxins. Today, it seems like doctors link everything to causing cancer – it’s hard to determine what to really stay away from. While you think you may be doing the right thing for your health by drinking diet sodas or low-calorie popcorn, you’re actually eating some of t...
