Fish pedicure therapy

IN SUMMARY:
-Biznerati talks about Fish pedicure
-How it feels like getting a treat from doctor fish
-Is it safe?

Imagine getting your leg 'spa'd' by a fish?Sounds weird.I know.Well,its true and it's a practice common in some spas in Kenya.Its not the ordinary type of fish used,it's the Doctor fish . . Welcome to
Fish pedicure therapy.


The Doctor fish is a fish particularly used for treating skin diseases and it's also used in skin softening.Others call it the epidermis-eating fish.All you need to do is insert your legs on the home-made pond containing thousands of the Doctor fish and relax as the Doctor fish do their work.


The first time you insert your legs on the pond you'll get that 'ticklish' Feeling but with time you'll get used to it.Maybe that 'ticklish' feeling you get is a way of them greeting you or welcoming you for the service.(Giggles)After running your legs deep on the pond for approximately 30mins .You remove the legs from the pond and apply some oil to the skin to soften the leg around the skin further and that way you are good to go


IS IT SAFE TO ALLOW DOCTOR FISH EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN??


Over the years fish pedicure therapy has been banned in several countries after questions arose of the spread of fungal diseases.With people streaming in to use the therapy,questions rose of how secure they were in terms of health if the same doctor fish were being used for different clients.

Because if a doctor fish feeds on the dead skin of the first client, then the 2nd client uses the same water in the tank(pond) and the same doctor fish,wouldn't there be a risk of skin disease or fungal infections??


However,beauty clinics offering fish pedicure therapy defended themselves saying they do not use the same water to different clients.
They use filters and are able to change water used and also they check on the client's feet before dunking their feet on the tank(pond)
The fish pedicure therapy service goes for $80 that's approximately sh7000.Next time you are visiting the spa centre ask whether they do fish pedicure therapy.

You'll love it . I recommend this spa centre>>

Guilty Pleasure:Consuming overcooked meals


Biznerati has found out the health effects associated with eating french fries frequently.Are you addicted to fries?Its about that time you

Acrylamide was discovered accidentally in foods in April 2002 by scientists in Sweden when they found the chemical in starchy foods,
such as potato chips (potato crisps),French fries, and bread that had been heated higher than 120 °C (248 °F) (production
of acrylamide in the heating process was shown to be temperature-dependent). [11] It was not
found in food that had been boiled[11][12] or in foods that were not heated.[SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]

So what is acrylamide??Acrylamide is a chemical compound.Its physical properties include white,odourless and crystalline solid,its solube in water. However,acrylamide decomposes thermally to produce carbon monoxide and carbon(II)oxide. The fact that it produces those two poisonous gases is enough reason to raise
eyebrows.High accmulated levels of acrylamide in the body can be
harmful to health.
  This is how acrylamide enters
your body.An amino acid naturally found in  potatoes .In potatoes,its highly concentrated.Now when potatoes are heated to higher temperatures,acrylamide is
formed.

When one consumes the overcooked potato acrylamide enters the body  system.When one
continues eating overcooked potatoes frequently,the levels of acrylamide increases and this
can be harmful to your body.Take for example In the event acrylamide decomposes thermally in the body system,carbon(II)oxide is emitted in the body.Come to think of it,carbon(II)Oxide in your body system.This can lead to suffocation which then leads to untimely death.

NB:This applies to the potatoes or natural vegetables that have been exposed to high temperatures through frying and others
methods.
Take care of your health.Remember,your body is your responsibility.

Leading Cause of excessive daytime sleepiness

Let's say you living with your roommate.More often,he or she tends to sleep earlier than you.Could be his or her routine sleep  cycle.So tonight is that night.
You are watching your favorite late night movie  when you suddenly hear a loud snort.Surprise surprise!!Guess who it's coming from?Your roommate.Then after a few minutes you hear the loud snort again.This goes on for around 25 times in a duration of an hour.Then your roomie starts snoring.You quickly wear your signature headphones and continue watching the movie. The next morning you ask your roomie of the loud snorts and to his surprise he tells you that he was not aware of the loud snorts which leaves you equally surprised.During the day,you observe the roomie excessive sleepiness which  widens the gapoff  puzzle.
Turns out the roomie has a sleep disorder known as sleep apnea.(where one experiences breathing pauses while asleep).


The Breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes.(Shallow breathing)     Typically, normal breathing then starts again, sometimes with a loud snort.This disorder tends to disrupt sleep more so if you tend to have more apnea events  during your 8 hours.   When you're asleep, the muscles will relax, allowing the throat to collapse , causing  an interruption of airflow,during these time one experiences shallow breathing or breathing pause   which later triggers activities that tend to increase airflow which includes a loud snort and even snoring.
The more apnea events one experiences,the more tired they'll get when they wake up and also experience excessive sleepiness during the day.

Onion Tea

It's a known fact that Onions are way too smelly and make you cry but they have a good side too.

I remember way back then, when my grandma used to boil an onion in tea and give it to me to drink whenever I had a cold.And just like the common cold would vanish.I also witnessed a neighbour who used to take raw onions as an escort whenever he was having breakfast."Mbona unakula kitunguu kwa chai?"(Why are you taking onions together with tea?I would ask him.He would respond by handing me a plate of raw onions together with a cup of tea which I struggled to take.He would proceed to lecture me on how it cleaned the nasal cavity and also chest congestion issues.

Well,onions have a far much better side despite the smell ;

Remove rust from knives
Onion really come in handy in removing rust from knives.Carefully pass the rusted part into the juicy part of the onion 5-6 times and wait for the outcome.

Keep frost off your car windows
Smash cut onions into a bucket of warm water ,stir and then sprinkle the solution on your car window.Leave it overnight and you'll wake up to sparkled windows and zero streaks

The contrails left by airplanes flying at night altitudes

On  sunday  when i  visited
thecountryside , I came across Johnny, a farmer,basking at his farm field, watching a 'lonely' cloud drift away,
taking with it the last hope of a much-desired burst of rain.Feeling disappointed,he returns to his home fetches a can and heads to the almost drying river to at least get some water to irrigate on his farm.
   As he irrigates his farm he tells me an idea he once heard on radio of inducing  rain.He says that seeds are sprinkled on the clouds then rain is formed.I quickly interrupt him and say "Cloud Seeding?".."Kitu kama Hiyo."He responds.Cloud seeding is the process of inducing rain in areas struck by drought.Just like a farmer throws seeds to his farm,cloud seeding companies also throw 'seeds' but this time it maybe silver iodide, dry ice and various salts that acts as water droplet nuclei.Silver iodide is used to increase the ice concentration in the clouds.In the past,we've witnessed Russia practising the method.Like the infamous case when Russia threw bags of cement and sand into the clouds with the aim of enhancing precipitation following the upcoming public event.It failed and the outcome was displayed on "1000 ways to Die".The video was that of a pimp that fell a victim to the particles that failed to fragment.
   

 

HOW IT WORKS

When droplets of this super-cooled water in the air meet specks of dust, salt or sand, they form small ice crystals . Water vapour in the cloud then freezes directly onto the surface of these crystals. When these crystals become too heavy to stay afloat, they fall down as rain.

  Though the method has been common practised in nations like Russia, the method has been surrounded by controversy.For instance,the fear of polluting the masses with the silver iodide used.In the case a large amount of silver iodide is used,then chances of masses getting polluted are high.Also who knows,an innocent civilian may falla victim to the method.Think of it,the damage that would be caused if  the sand fails to fragment.

This has also led to an uproar by conspiracy theorists which has led to the infamous Chemtrail conspiracy theory which argues that the contrails left by airplanes flying at high attitudes are harmful to the masses and fear that this could lead to adverse health effects on the masses.
All in all,anything involving chemicals has some adverse side effects

Icy chilled water or cool water immediately after meal or in-between meals



 Home DISCLAIMER [MUST READ] ▼

I

You probably have been advised by an older person not to drink water in between meals as it slows down the digestive process. Some say it leads to high cholesterol levels in the body. Some even say the habit contributes to cancer.Some even consider  the habit to be a sign of disrespect to the elders in some communities.Could there be some truth? 

According to Ayurveda experts , cold drinks after a meal or in between meals,extinguishes agni(digestive fire)and promotes ama(toxins that are as a result of poor digestion) Sipping hot water, on the other hand, improves digestion and appears to help keep open the countless channels throughout the body where ama (the toxins) can collect.

I never understood why my parents would always advise me to  refrain from my habit of drinking chilled drinks in between meals,till recently when I came across an article by Ayurveda experts

When you drink chilled drinks in between meals or after meals,it tends to slow down the breakdown
of fat globules in the duodenum into tiny droplets ,this fat may have an effect of  plasma levels of gastrin.That's why it's safer to drink hot water after meals.Hot water improves the digestion process and purges the toxins.
I once drank an icy chilled  flavored drink after a heavy afternoon meal and five minutes later I started experiencing severe abdominal pain.The pain was excruciating. I later took some  crushed charcoal mixed with water which had some positive effect.
Teenagers these days have a made drinking icy chilled drinks in between meals a cool thing to do,which is a worrying trend.In areas with high temperatures,drinking icy chilled water or flavored drinks
Could prove to be an irresistible urge but it's important to satisfy the urge after digestion time has elapsed.This is to avert the consequences that might result from poor digestion
