How Fake Eggs were Made?

Fake egg’s shell is made of calcium carbonate. Egg yolk and egg white are made of sodium alginate, alum, gelatin, eatable calcium chloride and then add water and food coloring. First pour a set amount of sodium alginate into warm water and mix it into egg white like shape, then mix it with gelatin together with benzoic acid, alum and other chemicals to make the egg white. Egg yolk is just adding lemon yellow food coloring. Together with calcium chloride to form egg mixture into the mold to produce the egg membrane. 

Egg shell is made of paraffin wax, gypsum powder, calcium carbonate and other materials. Fake egg is full of chemicals, the main ingredient calcium alginate, at most is a gel. Alum, gelatin etc are only as additives, auxiliary agents. There are national standards on the use of additives; the amount of them is clearly defined. In the fake eggs they have become the major components; they are not beneficial to the human body. Fake egg has little or no nutrition value compare with the real egg.

How to Connect Wires with Push-ins

●  Mark the amount of insulation to be stripped from each wire using the strip gauge on the back of the switch or receptacle.

●  Strip the wires using a combination tool.

●  Never use push-in fittings with aluminum wiring.

●  Insert the bare copper wires firmly into the push-in fittings on the back of the switch or receptacle.

●  When inserted, wires should have no bare copper exposed.

*Note:  Although push-in fittings are convenient, most experts believe screw terminal connections are more dependable.

●  Remove a wire from a push-in fitting by inserting a small nail or screwdriver in the release opening next to the wire.

●  Wire will pull out easily.

How to Connect Wires to Screw Terminals

●  Strip about 3⁄4" of insulation from each wire using a combination tool.
●  Choose the stripper opening that matches the gauge of the wire, then clamp the wire in the tool.
●  Pull the wire firmly to remove plastic insulation.

●  Form a C-shaped loop in the end of each wire using a needlenose (or longnose) pliers.
●  The wire should have no scratches or nicks.

●  Hook each wire around the screw terminal so it forms a clockwise loop.
●  Tighten screw firmly. Insulation should just touch head of screw.
●  Never place the ends of two wires under a single screw terminal. Instead, use a pigtail wire.

Good Health: Meat Not Needed?

Meat seems to have assumed an exaggerated importance nutritionally.

It is generally mistakenly believed that nutritional deficiencies, especially of proteins and vitamin B12 and poor health may result if animal foods are eliminated. Studies however, have indicated to health problems or deficiency diseases for those on a vegetarian diet.

Of the 22 amino acids -the essential components of proteins – needed by the body for its normal functioning, only nine need be supplied by the diet as the body synthesises the remaining 13. The body can use 100 per cent of this protein if all ten amino acids are in ideal proportions. If, however, one or more of the essential amino acids are present in less than the ideal amount, the value of the entire protein is reduced in the same proportions. On a quality rating scale of 1 to 100, egg protein is 95, milk is 82, meat and poultry are 67, fish 80, grains are between 50 to 70 and legumes, nuts and seeds are between 40 and 60.

Bring Lunch from Home for Your Child!

The parents should more pay attention on providing food for children. The reason is that research has shown children who snack on the outside have a tendency to obesity. A study conducted at three secondary schools  in the United States says, not least among students who regularly eat lunch at school or a snack, overweight.

They also tend to have high bad cholesterol or LDL, than children who routinely bring a lunch from home.

“Therefore, bring lunch from home more healthy. School environment itself is a good opportunity to teach children about healthy eating and the need to exercise, “said Elizabeth Jackson MD, MPH, as an assistant professor at the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor.

Elizabeth said, it is important to be known by the children of secondary school. Therefore, the time children begin to be educated to become more independent and not dependent on others.

If they are getting used to choose a healthy life by eating healthy foods and exercising regularly, then this habit will continue to live until they are adults.
