A 70-Year-Old Looks Like a 30-Year-Old. Credits To Home-Grown Vegetables And Rainwater.

We stay so preoccupied in our day to day life that the thought of growing up and aging doesn't even cross our minds. Even if it does, we are too busy to take steps to prevent our face from wrinkles or prevent our hair from turning grey. However, there is a lady who deserves insurmountable credit for maintaining herself like a girl in her youth.


 
Seventy year old Annette Larkins, a resident of Miami-Dade Country, Florida assures she has been married for 54 years. She has no shame in walking with her husband who is 70 years of age while people stay rapt in disbelief on finding out that the girl who looks like the man’s daughter is actually his wife.

The secret behind her charming youthful looks is her Fountain of Youth. Fountain of Youth is her backyard garden wherein Annette grows all kinds of vegetables and fruits.Her raw vegetarian diet has made her look fabulous even in her old age.


 
Annette admits that her diet comprises only of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. It seems strange that a woman whose husband once owned a meat factory in 1960’s decided to turn vegan. Furthermore, she made another change in her diet. That was to eat unprocessed food. Since then, only raw fruits and vegetables go beyond her lips.  More so, Annette also collects rain water to drink and nurture her garden.
The woman is absolutely healthy in all respects. She never takes a pill while her husband pops a few for diabetes and high blood pressure. Raw vegan diet does have an advantage as I can see.
Annette has written two books entitled Journey to Health and she has also produced a DVD describing her daily nutritional routine.
While her husband speaks proudly of how excellent his wife is in building computers, making her own clothes and of course staying as charming as ever, Annette takes no modesty in claiming that she is an early morning person who wakes up at 5.30 and gets going for the day.

Revolutionizing Architechture: Hotel Built In Just 15 Days In China.

China has shown yet another example of its booming economy and a step ahead towards modernization. At 30 stories tall and 183,000-square feet hotel has been built by Broad Group, a Chinese construction company in Hunan Province in just 360 hours. Yes, you read it right; this extraordinary building has been built in mere 15 days.
 
 
And the bigger surprise that comes our way is that the quality of this building has not been compromised over time. The building is earthquake resistant up to magnitude of 9. Its sustainable architecture design has 4-paned insulated windows and a smart heat conservation system. The Broad Group has claimed energy efficiency five times that of conventional hotels and in addition to it, the air filters make the hotel’s air 20 times the purity of conventional hotels.





The workers worked around the clock to complete this lavish building. But, this building could not have been completed in 15 days had the materials not been fabricated. The Broad Group’s previous spectacular construction of the 15-story Ark Hotel  took a mere 46.5 hours to build, half the time this hotel’s construction took. The company surely aims to revolutionize large scale architecture and with the means China provides, it is the favorite destination.

4 Effective Ways To Whiten Teeth

So, you have always been complimented for your dazzling smile. We hope you have a perfect set of pearlies to give you that radiant smile.


Yellowing of teeth are a thorough let-down. Dark lipsticks, especially shades of red and even neons, bring out the yellowness of your teeth. Thus, it is imperative to have a clean set of white teeth for you to flaunt that neon pout. However, whitening or brightening your teeth need not be an expensive affair. You don't always have to splurge on products and treatments that will leave a dent in your pocket. Here are some natural ways to whiten your teeth.

»» Mix baking soda
This is by far the cheapest and most effective way to whiten your pearlies. Baking soda is easily available in most general stores. Squeeze out a little toothpaste in a bowl. Add a pinch of baking soda to it. Mix it up and then brush your teeth with it. Indian food tends to stain teeth a lot, because of the use of turmeric. Try this mixture before bedtime. Ensure that you rinse your mouth thoroughly afterwards, as baking soda doesn't taste good if left in your teeth.

»» Gorge on strawberries
Strawberries are tasty and make for a great scrub for your teeth. The tiny seeds in the fruit scrub away the tartar off the teeth. Works well on days when you are feeling too lazy to do much else in the way of oral hygiene.

»» Use a straw
We all love our daily cuppa. However, caffeine addiction wreaks havoc on your teeth. Sad but true. Having too many cups of coffee or tea stains teeth like nothing else. The same goes for soda. You simply must give it up completely or restrict your intake to as little as possible. If you can't give it up, at least try using a straw to sip coffee or soda to avoid direct contact with teeth.

»» Floss
Most people don't think much about it. However, flossing is one habit that you must inculcate. It is one of the best ways to dislodge the food that you have eaten all day long — even if you rinse thoroughly, food particles get stuck between your teeth. It helps in cleaning the stains in the creases of your gums while preventing gum disease. Grab some floss and make it your nightly routine.
