Gratitude Diary

During my challenging times, I have read many tips on stress management and anxiety control.One of the recommended tips is to write a gratitude diary.I tried it for days, weeks, months and it worked.Basically the practice is , despite the ups and downs of life that we face everyday, to feel grateful to the creator, Allah.It's okay to feel that some hopes are left unfulfilled, some ambitions not achieved, some goals not met, but the most important thing is that, despite all those, there are some good things around you.A cup of good coffee for coffee lovers, a slice of your favourite Swiss roll, and some nice and kind things that happened to you should be thankful for.After all, life is so short for you to regret on anything that is not worth remembering and regretting right? Writing a gratitude diary is a good exercise for you not to compare yourself with others especially who have more material things more than you do.If you still want to compare yourself with others, compare with those who are at par with you or those who are more unfortunate than you.Grass may be greener on the other side, but you never know?Cheers.Bon soir!

health tips-cni tea

Tea drinkers may have lower skin cancer risk
May 4, 2007 11:07:37 AM PST
People who unwind with a cup of tea every night may have a lower risk of two common forms of skin cancer, new research suggests.
In a study of nearly 2,200 adults, researchers found that tea drinkers had a lower risk of developing squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma, the two most common forms of skin cancer.
Men and women who had ever been regular tea drinkers -- having one or more cups a day -- were 20 percent to 30 percent less likely to develop the cancers than those who didn't drink tea.
The effect was even stronger among study participants who'd been tea fans for decades, as well as those who regularly had at least two cups a day, according to findings published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
However, the findings do not mean it's okay to bake in the sun as long as you have a cup of tea afterward. The researchers found no evidence that tea drinking lowered skin cancer risk in people who'd accumulated painful sunburns in the past.
Nor did the study look at the relationship between tea drinking and malignant melanoma, the least common but most deadly form of skin cancer.
Still, the findings support the theory that tea antioxidants may limit the damage UV radiation inflicts on the skin, according to the study authors, led by Dr. Judy R. Rees of Dartmouth Medical School in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
In particular, a tea antioxidant known as EGCG has been shown to reduce burning on UV-exposed skin.
The current findings are based on interviews with 770 New Hampshire residents with basal cell carcinoma, 696 with squamous cell carcinoma, and 715 cancer-free men and women the same age.
Tea consumption was linked to a lower skin cancer risk, even with factors such as age, skin type and history of severe burns considered. However, tea drinkers who'd suffered multiple painful burns in the past did not have a lower risk of skin cancer.
It's possible, the researchers explain, that the antioxidants in tea are enough to limit skin damage caused by moderate sun exposure, but not the "more extreme" effects of sun exposure, such as cancer-promoting damage to the DNA in skin cells.
