Hands

Soap holder - I found it very cute and practical :)

What would I do if I wouldn't have hands. God thought every detail through, concerning human body. Praise God for that!
Handicraft gives me something to do, inspiration, wonderful feeling, it calms me down etc.

Try some handicraft yourself!

Dietetic Suggestions



EAT your bread with gladness.


Do not eat a morsel between meals.


Make simple foods your first choice.


“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.”


Talk courage, and you will soon feel courageous.


Food must be well relished in order to be well digested.


A low-protein diet is the least likely to cause autointoxication.


Use cane-sugar in moderation. Sweet fruits and honey are natural sweets.


Give preference to the dry, toasted foods. The less fluid taken at meal-time, the better.


When possible, endeavor to eat some raw foods daily in the form of fruits, nuts, or salads.


Worry kills. Hope inspires. God, who made us, is willing to take care of us. Cheer up.


One well-prepared dish, eaten with bread and some fruit or vegetable, is ordinarily sufficient.


Drink a glass of water on rising and retiring, an hour before each meal, and one to three hours after eating.


Deep breathing improves the digestion. Practice it frequently during the day. More die of air starvation than of food starvation.


It is better to eat only two meals a day. If supper is taken, let it consist chiefly of fruit or rice or some of the cereal flakes.


Use salt sparingly. Condiments should be wholly discarded, because they irritate the stomach, tending to produce gastric and intestinal catarrh.


Fletcherize. Chew your food as long as it will remain in your mouth. “If you taste your food before you swallow it, you will not have to taste it afterward.”— Life Boat.

Fresh fruits



The Four Major Warning Signs of Eating Insufficient Quantities of Fresh Fruit
1. If you ever crave sweets at the end of any meal, you have undereaten of sufficient sweetness from fresh fruit at the beginning of that meal. 2. If you ever desire heavy foods (avocado, nuts, seeds, etc.) at the end of a meal, you have undereaten of sufficient sweetness from fresh fruit at the beginning of that meal. 3 If at any time of day you wish to consume refined sugars such as candy, alcohol, chocolate, cakes, or dried fruit, you have undereaten of sufficient sweetness from fresh fruit at the preceding meal. 4. If at any time you are willing to even consider starchy foods (bread, rice, potatoes, corn, pasta, etc) as a source of sustenance, you have undereaten of sufficient sweetness from fresh fruit at the preceding meal. The solution, in all four instances, is to eat fresh fruit. Learn from your experiences. Eat sufficiently of fresh fruit and all food cravings will cease. OF course, continue to eat all the fresh tender greens that you care for, as well. by Dr. Doug Graham
