Tempt my Tummy Tuesdays #1

Blueberry Cheesecake + Ice Blended Coffee= PERFECT

Perfect pair for an afternoon chat with friends after a long time of not seeing each other. The sweet cake was for the happy and nice happenings in each lives while the bittersweet taste of the coffee represents the not-so-good one. :)

Frugal Find: White Tee

I looted this white A&F for only 100Php in Greenhills Shopping Mall, haven of imitation products. LOL

Nice to wear during school days with my tot.

Dunkin' Donuts

One early morning in Baguio City.
After I claimed my new passport in DFA I am still undecided where to go next.
And my tummy was already complaining so I just settled for a quick snack at nearby DD store.

I'm not really drinking hot coffee, but because the temperature is low, why not give coffee a try.

My all time favorite donut is the one with bavarian filling. I just love it! Actually I have eaten two at that time. And I'm not yet satisfied but instead of buying another piece, I decided to go at the orchidarium and take pictures.

Do you love Carrots?

If yes, then congratulations!

Why?

Read on...

Prevent heart diseases: In a study meant to reveal therapeutic value of carrots researchers at the Wolfson Gastrointestinal Laboratory in Edinburgh, Scotland revealed that cholesterol level reduces by 11 percent if seven ounces of raw carrots a day is taken for thee weeks. High cholesterol is a major factor for heart disease. Since regular consumption of carrots reduces cholesterol level it is good to prevent heart related problems. A group of Swedish scientists discovered that root vegetables can reduce the chances of having a heart attack. A study conducted at the Mario Negri Institute of Pharmacological Research in Italy found that those who ate more carrots had one third the risk of heart attack as compared with those who ate fewer carrots.
Prevent cancer: Beta-carotene consumption has been linked to reduced risk of several cancers, notably lung cancer. British researchers discovered that increasing beta-carotene consumption from 1.7 to 2.7 milligrams a day reduced lung cancer risk more than 40 percent. The average carrot contains about three milligrams of Beta-carotene. In a study, researchers found that eating fiber rich carrots reduce the risk of colon cancer by as much as 24 percent. Another study shows that women who ate raw carrots were five to eight times less likely to develop breast cancer than women who did not eat carrots.
Macular degeneration: This is a common eye disease of elderly. It impairs the macula. Researches found that people who ate the most Beta-carotene had a forty percent lower risk of macular degeneration compared with those who consumed the least.
Improves eyesight: Deficiency of vitamin A can cause some difficulty seeing in dim light. Since carrot is rich in vitamin A it is good for improving eyesight.
Stroke: A carrot a day reduces stroke risk by 68 percent. Many studies have strengthened the “carrot effect” on brain. Studies conducted on stroke patients revealed that those with highest levels of Beta carotene have the best survival rate.
Diabetes: Carrot is good for blood sugar regulation because of the presence of carotenoids in carrot. Carotenoids inversely affect insulin resistance and thus lower blood sugar.
Carrots have antiseptic qualities and therefore, can be used as laxative, vermicide and as remedy for liver conditions. Carrot oil is good for dry skin. It makes the skin softer, smoother and firmer. Carrot juice improves stomach and gastrointestinal health. www.organicfacts.net
