Giving your body the fluids it needs
What is the best way of restoring the body’s fluid balance - by constantly sipping from a bottle of water or taking an occasional big drink?
Seventy per cent of an adult’s body is water. Two and a half litres are lost every day in urine and water that evaporates from the skin. This loss must be offset by a daily intake of the same amount: 1.5 litres by drinking fluids and the rest via solid food.
“We have a sensation of thirst when the body’s water loss reaches 0.5%,” said Susann-Catherine Ruprecht, spokeswoman for the German Institute of Human Nutrition. Drinking a glass of water is the simplest solution.

A Sweet Valentine Delight from my Kitchen
Minsan tayong mga pinoy naooverdramatized kung papano gagawin at maghanda ng kahit napakasimpleng lutuin at lalo pang pinapahirap ang pagluluto kahit hindi naman. Mas lalo pa tayong walang ganang gumawa lalo pat sa mga mamahaling restoran lamang ito matitikman kasi cguro sa isip natin mahal, wlang sangkap at well-seasoned chef lamang ang nakakagawa. 
Pero dahil espesyal na araw ang katorse, kagabi sinubukan kong gumawa at heto... try try lang...

Father: 'They were all my world... How can I go on?

"Nathan, 5, and Chelsea, 7, died last week of suspected food poisoning after eating a take-away meal ordered from a restaurant in Al Ghusais."
Dubai: "Why did this happen to my children?" Patrick D'Souza asks, his voice cracking at the cherished memories of little Nathan and Chelsea. "They were all my world, now they're gone. How can I go on?"
It's been 12 days since the D'Souza family's hellish nightmare began, and it started with a phone call placed to the Lotus Garden in Al Ghusais for Chinese food.
Never did the family realise then that for five-year-old Nathan and seven-year-old Chelsea, it would be their last supper.

"Food For The Soul"
... today is the day,
... to embark on the new begginning,
... and on this maiden voyage,
... i shall feed the soul with inspiration,
... so as to sustain the endless flight,
... amidsts the journey that seeks higher,
... bound to rediscovering the lost path,
... of that long sought yet highly ellusive,
... one that has been found long time ago,
... yet foolishly taken for granted,
... oh benevolent one that is,
... "A Life of Everlasting PEACE"...

Volunteers boost clean-up
By Arvind Nair
Senior Staff Reporter

Volunteers pick up a carcass during the clean-upcampaign on one of the beaches in Qatar
A number of expatriate organisations have volunteered for the current clean-up campaign as part of the ninth Qatar National Green and Clean campaign.
The annual drive is run by Green Qatar Centre, which functions under the aegis of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Urban Development.
No expatriate organisation was slotted during the last two week-ends because of the dusty conditions and bad weather, expatriates coordinator Abdullah Kutty said.
