Ear Safety (6B)

🥦🥑🍓🍏🍎🍐🍉🌶🫑🥒🥥🍆
-----------------------------------------
EAR SAFETY (PART 6B)
-----------------------------------------
Loud Noise Can Damage Nerves in the Ears.

Loud noise is particularly harmful to the inner ear cochlea (the spiral cavity of the inner ear containing the organ of Corti, which produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations). A one-time exposure to extreme loud sound or listening to loud sounds for a long time can cause hearing loss. Loud noise can damage cells and membranes in the cochlea. Listening to loud noise for a long time can overwork hair cells in the ear, which can cause these cells to die. The hearing loss progresses as long as the exposure continues. Harmful effects might continue even after noise exposure has stopped. Damage to the inner ear or auditory neural system is generally permanent.

EAR SAFETY (PART 6A)
-----------------------------------------
Noise Can Damage Nerves in The Ears.

In addition to damaging hair cells, noise can also damage the auditory nerve that carries information about sounds to the brain. Early damage may not show up on a hearing test. It can create a ‘hidden hearing loss’ that may make it difficult for one to understand speech in noisy places. The effect of loud noise over time affects how well someone might hear later in life. It also affects how quickly one might develop hearing problems, even after exposure has stopped.

TYPES OF CARROTS
-----------------------------------------
The most common varieties of carrots include:

📌Imperator carrots - These are long, with a tapered tip and small shoulders (the part near the green tops).
📌Nantes carrots - These are of medium length and have a blunt tip. They are popular with home gardeners.
📌Danvers carrots - Danvers carrots are large and of medium length.
📌Chantenay carrots - These are short with large shoulders.
📌Baby Carrots - Baby carrots are simply carrots that are harvested before growing to full maturity. They’re about 3 to 4 inches long and look like tiny versions of their fully-grown counterparts. The baby carrots that most people know, on the other hand, are made by cutting up and shaving down broken pieces of mature carrots. Both are full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and more, making them an excellent addition to everyday diet.

CARROTS (PART 3)
-----------------------------------------
Carrots are one of the easiest vegetables to get your kids (or picky partner) to eat because of their sweet, tasty, and great texture, especially when roasted. People can buy them fresh, frozen, canned, pickled, or as juice. It is best to store carrots in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator. Remove any greens from the tops before storing to prevent them from drawing moisture and nutrients from the roots. Carrots are a particularly good source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants.

Powerful words:

'I'm Sorry.'

🍎🍏🍉🌶🥕🥔🍆🥑🥦🥒🫑🥥
-----------------------------------------
I'M SORRY😘
-----------------------------------------
I'm sorry.

Two words but very powerful.💯

The word, 'I'm sorry', carries a lot of weight when it's genuine. Saying I'm sorry is more than just words. It requires vulnerability to admit wrongdoing and the hurt that wrongdoing has inflicted on the person being apologized to. It shows that you respect the other person's feelings and truly value their friendship. Apologizing is another chance to be honest and act with integrity.

We all have our weak moments.

*So apology issued and accepted.*

Let's learn to genuinely say 'I'm sorry' when we hurt someone. It heals wounds.

CARROTS (PART 2)
----------------------------------------
Early carrots were purple or yellow. Orange may be their best-known color, but they also come in other colors, including purple, yellow, red, and white.
Each color of carrot has a little something different to offer. The purple variety has polyacetylenes, which also have anti-inflammatory properties. The yellow variety has the most lutein while orange carrots have lots of alpha - and beta-carotene. The black carrots are rich in phenolic compounds, while red carrots have high amounts of lycopene.

Have you heard this saying, ‘Carrots are good for the eyes’? That's true, but the benefits of carrots don't stop there.

Carrots are healthy root vegetables that are eaten as snacks and used in many dishes to provide substance and flavor. This popular and versatile veggie has a nice crunch when raw and a tender, creamy bite when cooked. It is tasty, and highly nutritious. Carrots comes in several colors, sizes, and shapes, all of which are great additions to a healthy diet. You can tell them apart by the shape and length of the root, which is the part most people eat. The sugar in carrots gives them a slightly sweet flavor, but they also can taste earthy or bitter.

EAR SAFETY (PART 5)
-----------------------------------------------------
Damaged Hair Cells in the Ears Can Lead to Hearing Loss.

The average person is born with about 16,000 hair cells within their cochlea. These cells allow the brain to detect sounds. Up to 30% to 50% of hair cells can be damaged or destroyed before changes in hearing can be measured by a hearing test. After leaving a very loud event, such as a concert or football game, you may notice that you don’t hear as well as before. You might not hear whisper, sound might seem muffled, or you may hear ringing in your ears. Normal hearing usually returns within a few hours to a few days. This is because the hair cells, similar to blades of grass, will bend more if the sound is louder. But they will become straight again after a recovery period. However, if loud noise damaged too many of the hair cells, some of them will die. Repeated exposures to loud noises over time will destroy many hair cells.

Coconut (Risks)

🥑🥦🥬🥒🫒🍎🍅🌶🥕🍍🍌🍒
---------------------------------------
RISKS OF COCONUT
---------------------------------------
Although coconuts have a number of health benefits, there are some possible risks to eating too much coconut meat. The key is always moderation.

The risks may include:
📌Fats - Consuming a lot of coconut meat means that a person will eat a lot of fats, including polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and saturated fats. In 2016, researchers from Harvard University noted that having a high intake of saturated fats may lead to an increased risk of heart disease.
📌Weight gain - Coconut meat is high in calories and may contribute to weight gain if people eat a lot of it and do not reduce their calorie intake elsewhere in their diet.
📌Sugars - Manufacturers may add sugar to processed coconut meat products during the production process. This means that although people may think that they are choosing a healthy snack, they could be consuming a lot of hidden sugar.
📌Allergies - As with most foods, there is always a small chance that someone may be allergic to coconuts. Coconut allergies are rare but can cause anaphylaxis.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF COCONUT 5

📌Coconuts may help reduce bursts of hunger - Coconuts are known to reduce random hunger outbursts. People who consistently use coconut products may have a stronger ability to go without eating for several hours with no effects of hypoglycemia. It may also promote healthy thyroid function and help to relieve the symptoms of chronic fatigue.
📌Highly nutritious - Unlike many other fruits that are high in carbs, coconuts provide mostly fat. They also contain protein, several important minerals, and small amounts of B vitamins. However, they’re not a significant source of most other vitamins. The minerals in coconut are involved in many functions in the body. Coconuts are especially high in manganese, which is essential for bone health and the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and cholesterol. They’re also rich in copper and iron, which help form red blood cells, as well as selenium, an important antioxidant that protects cells. Much of the fat in coconut is in the form of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). The body metabolizes MCTs differently than other types of fats, absorbing them directly from the small intestine and rapidly using them for energy.

HEALTHY DIET TIP

AVOID HAZARDOUS AND HARMFUL ALCOHOL USE (PART 1)
------------------------------------
Alcohol is not a part of a healthy diet, but in many cultures, New Year’s and other celebrations are associated with heavy alcohol consumption. Overall, drinking too much or too often increases your immediate risk of injury as well as causes longer-term effects like liver damage, cancer, heart disease, and mental illness.
WHO advises that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption; and for many people, even low levels of alcohol use can still be associated with significant health risks.
Always remember that less alcohol consumption is better for health, and it is perfectly OK not to drink.

📌Boost immunity - Coconut nutrition is excellent for the immune system as it is antiviral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-parasitic. The regular intake of coconut oil can help the body to mount resistance to both viruses and bacteria that cause illness. Consuming coconut in its raw form can help to treat some of the worst and most resilient illnesses like throat infections, bronchitis, urinary tract infection, tapeworms and other ailments caused by microbes.
📌May treat abdominal fats - Coconut may help with treating fats in the abdominal cavity. Abdominal fats are the most dangerous of all the fats and are associated with various diseases.
📌Better oral health - Coconut water can be used as a rinse-out mouth-wash to kill mouth bacteria and reduce bad breath. The MCFAs (Medium Chain Fatty Acids) also found in coconut meat contain antimicrobial properties, which may be useful in preventing infections related to root canals, other teeth issues and improve the overall dental health. Although eating coconut meat is not a substitute for proper dental hygiene, it can help kill some of the unwanted bacteria found in the mouth and protect gums and teeth from infection or cavities.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF COCONUT 2
---------------------------------------
📌May promote blood sugar control - Coconuts are high in dietary fiber, which slows down the release of glucose. The fiber assists in relieving stress on the pancreas and enzyme systems, which may reduce the risk of developing diabetes. It may also control diabetes by positively affecting the hormones for blood sugar control. This slows down the rise in blood sugar level and helps to reduce glycemic cravings.
📌Coconuts are hydrating - One of the most significant health benefits of coconut is its water that aids in hydration. Coconut water contains potassium, sodium, and magnesium, all of which are significant electrolytes. Electrolytes help hydrate the body by regulating the balance of fluids in the body. They may also regulate blood pressure and muscle contraction.
📌Coconuts provide an energy boost - Coconut water is a source of sugar, fiber, antioxidants, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, which altogether make it a popular drink providing energy, hydration and endurance.

Many Studies and Research have been conducted on the health benefits of coconut, and below are some of them:

📌Contains powerful antioxidants - Coconut meat contains phenolic compounds, which are antioxidants that can help protect cells from oxidative damage. The main phenolic compounds identified include gallic acid, caffeic acid, salicylic acid, and p-coumaric acid. Lab tests on coconut meat have shown that it may neutralize harmful compounds called free radicals, which contribute to chronic disease.
📌May Support Healthy Blood Pressure - Coconut water offers a good source of potassium, a mineral that helps balance sodium levels in the body and regulate blood pressure.
📌Beautify the hair - Coconut oil adds moisture to the hair and conditions it, which may lead to shiny and silky hair due to the Vitamin K and iron it contains. It may also help prevent split-ends and treat dandruff.
