we need to be more healthy what do you do to keep healthy?

[quote="yuit"]Plain cheese is the best IMO.

On your second point, i sorry to have to break it to you, but having work in a couple of kitchen and knowing how Takeway work, whenever they come across fussy customers, they normally give the food their own unique sepcial treatment [img]http://www.islam4you.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/vomiton.gif[/img][/quote]

ha HA!

But I already took care of that - I pay them 70% tip as a bribe.

They don't know it's a bribe naturally - i'm buying loyalty.

The trick is to make yourself the absolute best friend of everybody that works there.

I’ve just had Turkish food for lunch…it was very, very spicy. …apparently, one can get addicted to spicy food very quickly and this can lead to problems in the future. :?

And on a side note…I need to cut down on takeaways.

Spicey food IS addictive, and it WILL lead to problems in the future.

I sold all my furniture to get my curried lamb fix.

I also need to do something about my addiction then. I find it difficult to eat non spicy Asian food :?

But the fact that I drink a lot of milk should make up for my spicy diet...?

lol what's the relationship?

You know….milk is perfect for those who suffer from heartburn which is due to an increase in acidity in the stomach..

So if I eat spicy food and then drink milk…I can wash away the effects of spicy food on my stomach.

Sort of like the way you put out fire with water…

Or have I lost the plot…? :?

Milk is good after spicy food.

I cannot eat bland food either. unless its chips.

And Augustus, you have built loyalty when if you do not order for a while, they send over free food.

I was surprised when that happened while at uni. it was brilliant.

But then again, we did also pick the takeaway, and they provided takeout upto three times a day... (we ate at diferent times, and one meal semi together about midnightish...)

I was soo good before Ramadan, was eating healthy etc but soon as Ramadan came, all I ate was oily/junk food 😢

So I have decided to eat healthy now, for the past few days i have been having a lot of water/orange juice. No chocolates/sweets/crisps ( i am so motivated at the mo, that i gave my chocolate bar from thorntons to sis :shock: ).

I only eat when i feel hungry and not just for the sake of it, if i feel like snacking, I grab an orange/banana/apple, have also been eatin at least 2-3 fruits per day instead of junk food.

As for exercise, i am still to come to that probably start next week, i do walk 5 mins to the train station (but thats rubbish).

Any tips as to what exercises i should do?

That dont make sense does it??????????????????????????????????

Water should work with spices not milk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:?
cos water diluetes everything dont it.

erm actually she's correct. If you get heartburn docs always say lots of cold milk, plain yoghurt, or even ice cold water.

I rarely get heartburn but lots of cold milk helps me more than water.

Yeah well Docs get thigns wrong lots of times...................

U sure its not the fact milk, yogurt and all that is cold and so it FEELS like it makes things better?????????????????????????????????????????????

Can't see how milk can be better than water.

put a green chillie in ur mouth

and see if water takes away the burning sensation in ur mouth quicker or milk

milk reduces acid levels as muslimsis already said.

Water is a good remedy if you drink enough regularly. 8 glasses about a litre of water. And about 1.5 litres for women who are pregnant. It flushes everything out.

Vinegar is supposed to work aswell but i can't down that from a teaspoon..ew

eating raw ginger is meant to prevent it too.

Depends. you can get medicine from docs but that's not necessarily good, coz it can just mask the problem. When you're off it, it could just return again.

Keeping a food diary might help you find out what specific food causes it. It's not necessarily always asian foods, coz plenty of non asians suffer from it and they tend to have milder foods.

Don't want to cause alarm but if it's really persistent see a doctor, in case it's something more serious. I've known of ppl to have developed ulcers and they thght it was just heartburn.

That dont sound liek a good experiment to me 😉 😉 😉

Just wanted someone to give a more logical reason thats all...............

My suggestion for keeping a healthy imam:

Don’t abandon salaat and read the Quran………

[quote="Admin"]

And lilsis beans on toats, or jacket potatoes is not cooking in my eyes. Not even chips.

[/quote]

freedom is beautiful the most precious thing after breath

Salam

Freedom is even more precious than breath.

For I would like to breath free.

Omrow

well done - lilsis'll be proud... 😛

[quote="Admin"]the heinz tin said i think...[/quote]

He was so hungry that he ate the thing first and then read the label !!

Luckily it turned out to be a can which was packed by our Jewish cousins. Therefore it was Kosher him too.

But what if it had turned to be "Turtles Intestines."

Omrow

[quote="Omrow"]But what if it had turned to be "Turtles Intestines."[/quote]
yea, coz everyone stocks some of that in their kitchen pantry... :roll:

Boss might. He doesnt even look until he opens the can and gulps it down in one breath. He is such a healthy eater. He must weigh 120 kg.

hey I look at the tin when I buy the thing.

If its at home, I have already done the homework.

No need to do it twice. I do not 'suffer' from OCD.

(and it was suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. I brought it to see what it tasted like...)

in other words-u didnt cook :roll:

i think i told you i rarely have fast food. Had pizza yesturday after the second slice i couldn't eat any more, neither could my husband and he has a huge appetite. I think we've gotten used to home cooked foods, our palates can't handle fast foods anymore. :?

A few months back i was craving for a bag of fish and chips english style, i ate a quarter of the pack, then felt sick. So it can't be the food, must be me 🙁

There's three things I can never finish on my own...a pizza, a bag of chips, a mars bar and a can of coke.
