Let us start with health. Finally I've read that book I've purchased for 1 pound. Hardcover, glossy paper and vibrant colors. Yippee. I love books like this.
Acne is caused, firstly by the overproduction of oil waste by the skin or sebum. Dead skin cells may get stuck into the pores where sebum are naturally secreted, causing a blockage. Bacteria present on our skin will then covert the mass into compounds, hence known as acne or pimples.
To avoid pimples, eat more:
- Shellfish, nuts, poultry and lean meat (for the zinc basically)
- Fresh fruit and vegetable for vitamin C
- Whole grains and cereals for B vitamins and zinc
- Food rich in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA)
Cut down on:
- Chocolate and sweets
- Highly salted snacks
- Added sugar
For self improvement, I'm reading Richard Branson's "Screw Business As Usual. The notable examples that got me googling them was:
Jempson's: http://www.jempsons.com/
Jempson's is like any other convenience stall like M&S. But the one thing that they are really into is to eliminate waste. Sourcing their goods and materials responsibly, they also do their part when it comes to sustaining Mother Nature. Read the book or google them for more info!
Finisterre: http://www.finisterreuk.com/
A surf company which also made its initiative to use recycle materials for their surf wear.
New words or nouns learnt:
Chard: A type of vegetable
Chard
Rhubarb: Also a type of vegetable
Rhubarb
Budgerigar: A parakeet
Budgerigar
Chutzpah: Pronounced "hutzpah", meaning audacity, saying something that is bound to shock others.
Creed: Confession, symbol of faith, what you believe in.
Venereal disease: sexual disease.
And not to forget the post on the chaotic pendulum. My mind is saturated now...
Feels good :)
