That’s my son and my nephew playing. The sofa is a set of three chairs, one long one and two single seaters. Through the years, the sofa gets dirty and some stains are harder to remove. I always thought that this color is really hard to maintain especially if you are living in my country. The set doesn’t need any leather repair yet but I hope this article will help my parents maintain the really nice and expensive sofa we have at their home.

• Clean it regularly with dry cloth and vacuum the corners.
• Do not use lots of water, cleaning solvents, soaps or ammonia.
• Use a leather conditioner that is appropriate and in right quantity.
• Keep the leather away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Take extra care of your favorite spot.
• Extent of care and methods vary with type of leather and the furnishing.

Well, one is that I am helping the environment in my own little way by using products with ingredients when disposed to nature will not harm it. Second is that, they say that supporting Human Nature is also supporting the Filipino farmers and lastly, the products have great reviews and they are very inexpensive compared to products we buy in the malls and the groceries. I also started using the products since last night and so far so good.

With my continuous researching and learning more of the vegen diet, I discovered the disadvantages of too much sugar in the body…. (In a nutshell)

The “glycemic index” is a measure of how a given food affects blood-glucose levels, with each food being assigned a numbered rating. The lower the rating, the slower the absorption and digestion process, which provides a more gradual, healthier infusion of sugars into the bloodstream. On the other hand, a high rating means that blood-glucose levels are increased quickly, which stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin to drop blood-sugar levels. These rapid fluctuations of blood-sugar levels are not healthy because of the stress they place on the body.

One of sugar’s major drawbacks is that it raises the insulin level, which inhibits the release of growth hormones, which in turn depresses the immune system. This is not something you want to take place if you want to avoid disease.

So start eliminating sugar in your diet now! How? Here are a few suggestions:

• Remove the temptation of added sugars from your home so you’re less likely to stray from your sugar-free diet.
• Check the labels of some of your favorite snacks to ensure that they’re low in sugar or sugar-free.
• Eat foods that have complex carbohydrates, which include naturally occurring sugars in foods that contain fiber like fruits and grains.
• Eat meals and snacks regularly to control your blood sugar.
• Carry a refillable water bottle with you throughout the day so you’re not tempted by the hidden sugars in soda, juice and sports drinks.

Let’s be healthy! Enjoy life and be positive all the time. God bless.
