Microwave will smells wierd after using some times even though we always clean it.
The tip is, you can now use orange peels to remove the smells by putting them into microwave, and heat it 5 minutes with lowest power level.

Most of the soft drinks that we can find today have average pH 3.4. This pH is strong enough to dissolve our teeth (in 10 days) and bones.
Thus, here's some "helpful" tips that you may find useful with your cans of Coke/Pepsi/...
- clean toilet bowl (very high in citric acid)
- remove rust spots from chrome cars bumpers
- clean corrosion from car batteries terminals
- to loosen a rusted bolt
- to remove grease from clothes
- clean road haze at wind screen
Imagine that we take these acidic drinks, our bodies will need to withdraw more calcium in order to neutralize the acid. All the dissolved calcium will then compounds and get accumulated in our artieries, veins, skins etc.. which may later affect the function of our kidneys, with the formation of kidney stone.
-> neutralized = forming salt + water

We will feel thirsty because of
- imbalance salt level (cause by too much salty food)
- lack of minerals (water consists lots of minerals)
By nature, we are not given any capability to drink water (without using glasses)
- we are given eye, to differenciate colors of food
- we are given hand, to plug the food
- we are given mouth & teeth to eat the food
- we are given nose to smell the food
~ So, we are supposed to eat water, not to drink water, Logic? =)
Human body consists of 70% of water, it happens to plants too. So, if we eat the plants, we will get the water as well. But if we drink too much water, our body will be diluted.
A few types of commercial water available in the market now:
- Distilled water (also known as naked water)
- may bring out minerals in our body through urine
- only recommended to drink if suffer from heavy matter in body
- Reverse Osmosis
- slightly better with some minerals being preserved
- Alkaline water (ionized water)
- will react with hydrolic acid in our stomarch -> become neutralized -> produce salt & water (result of neutralization) -> may form stone in our body
- body will suffer lack of minerals
- Minerals water
- from ground water, consists of inorganic minerals which our body not able to absorb
- may also form stone in our body
* About Minerals, categorized into 2 types:
- Organic Minerals (our body can only absorb this type of minerals)
- Inorganic Minerals
Refer below for the process of how Minerals are formed naturally:

In short, the table below shows the ideal scenarios, these are the food combination that go best together:
| Carbo | Protein | Non-concentrated food
-consider neutral (vege/fruits, but not legumes) |
| Y | Y |
| Y |
| Y |
| Melons Family | Acidic Fruits | Sweet Fruits |
- highest concentration of water
- digest very fast (within 30mins)
- not recommended to mix with other food (easily ferment)
| - citrus family like orange, lemon, pineapple
- taste sour
- the effect of metabolism is alkaline
- high in calcium, iron & various minerals
| - e.g. papaya, apples
- not recommend to mix with acidic fruits:
acid + alkaline (from mouth) = neutralized.
» Stomarch will need more time to digest. |
Have you heard about people died after eating durians + wine?
- Durian is high in both sugar(alkaline) and protein(acid)
- Wine have gone through fermentation during the process of making
- When Durian + Wine => it speed up the process of fermentation & putrifying in our body. This effect will cause death.

Carbohydrate ~
Is a combination of simple sugars (glucose) bonded by the glycocilic bond. By breaking the glycocilic bond (carbo → glucose), energy is released. At this stage, alkaline pH (pH > 7) is needed.
Why carbo is important? Our brain and nervous system only get energy from glucose. And our blood sugar level has to be always constant. A person can die if the glucose level too low due to brain malfunctioned.
Protein ~
Is composed from various proportions of about 20 common amino acids which is highly complex structured. Our body transform protein to needed amino acides via asimilation process. This process needs acidic environment, which is about pH +/- 2.0.Fats ~
Made up of fatty acids and bonded to backbone structure, glycerol. Needed alkaline environment to digest. The process start from mouth and some in small intestinal. (That's why if intestinal cut, will not able to digest fats, protein & starch properly.)
The process of fats digestion is called emulsify, to surface the fats with water so that it can be transported around the body in the blood, which is a water based substance.
The Importance of Food CombinationMost of the time, our single meal consists various type of foods. Let's see what will actually happen when we first put in food to our mouth.
When carbo go into body, our body will start produce alkaline environment to digest it. This process start from mouth until the stomarch. However, if protein go in at the same time, our body will produce more acid to break the protein. In this case,
Acid + Alkaline = Neutralized
When food being neutralized in stomarch, our body will try to produce even more acid to do work. This acidic environment will even burn the stomarch cell wall, and eventually become ulcer when the condition become worst. The acid produced here has about pH +/- 2.0, which enough to burn our body. Thus, people who has stomarch ulcer is not recommended to take both protein and carbo at the same time.
Example: chicken rice / tuna or egg sandwich ->> carbo + protein
Besides, Protein will also take longer hours to break, especially meats. In this case, carbo (need shorter time to digest) that taken together will ferment and produce gases. The gases will be stored at upper part of the stomarch. That is why most of us burb a lots after we finish the 'comprehensive' meal.
Food transit time in stomarch:
Carbo = 0.5 – 1 hour
Protein = 3 – 4 hours
Fat = 5 > hours
