* Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a
cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of
cancer is higher).

* Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after
meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr
after meal or 1hr before meal.

* Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of
acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume
to be hardened thus difficult to digest.

* Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will
easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.

* Don't bathe - Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to
the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will
therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

* Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a
hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true.
Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition
from the food we intake.

* Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to
digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

"°•.♥.•° THE DAY FOR YOU TO COME BACK TO ME °•.♥.•°"

I sit here and all I can think about is you and I,
We are apart and I ask you why?
The pain in my heart just won't go away,
I want to ring you but I don't know what to say,
I really want to tell you I want to be with you,
I can't stand not being by your side,
The hurt I'm feeling makes me want to run and hide,
I want to run to you and hold you near,
Losing you is my greatest fear,
You're my everything - I love you so,
The love I have for you is more than you could ever know,
I miss you more than words could ever say,
This is another thing that grows with every passing day,
I need you like the earth needs the rain,
I want you to come and take away my pain,
I never thought that being away from someone could make someone ache,
Not being able to touch you - I feel my heart starting to break,
I want to be able to tell you I love you as I look into your eyes,
That way you will know that those words are not lies,
We have something so perfect, great and true,
We are meant to be together and join as one - me and you,
You said you wanted a break - though I don't,
I can't do much more than agree,
But I'm wishing for the day for you to come back to me.
