5 DON'TS when you are sleeping
Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity.
Though small, but if you wear your watch to bed
for a long time, it might have adverse effects on your health.
2 DON'T SLEEP WITH BRA
Scientists in America have discovered those that
wear bras for more than 12 hours have
a higher risk of getting breast cancer.
So go to bed without it.
3 DON'T SLEEP WITH PHONE
Putting the phone beside your bed or anywhere
near you is not encouraged.
Though some of us will use phones as alarm clocks,
but please put the phone as far as possible.
Scientists have proved that electrical items including
mobile phone and television sets emit magnetic waves when used.
These waves can cause disruptions to our nervous system.
Therefore if you need to put your mobile phone near you,
switch it off first.
4 DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP
People who sleep with make up might have
skin problems in the long run.
Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to have
difficulty in breathing and problem in perspiring.
You will also need a much longer time to go into deep sleep.
Lastly.....
5 DON'T SLEEP WITH OTHERS' WIFE / HUSBAND
You may never wake up again.

Soya Bean
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All of us know that Soya bean drink provides good protein to our body, but many of us doesn't know that there are certain days we should avoid on the drink.
Soya bean drinks are best consumed on hot sunny days where the sun is burning and glaring. The Soya milk will gives lots of nutrients to the body, as the body is able to absorb the protein well.
However, avoid the drink when the weather is cloudy or anng. Taking the drink in these weathers, the body will not be able to take in the protein thus will result in a disease called "GOUT" or "high acidic urine" due to the high protein residue in the body, after a long run.
This disease will cause pain to your knee joints and it will only be in control when you control your food intake of proteins and medications. The pain is unbearable and usually you will have no idea what you have taken to cause the pain. Food like Soya beans, ikan bilis, broccoli, spinach,peanuts, animal organs ( i.e. animal liver) etc will have to be avoided to prevent the pain from attacking.
So my friends pass this to your family, relatives and friends to keep an alert of the pros and cons of Soya bean milk and when it is to be taken and avoid.

For me, a mutual respect from both party are needed to form a healthy family structure.

Welcome to the 'Don't Divorce Me Club'
- Story Highlights
- Club caters for bossy husbands who need help with relationships
- In an abrupt about face, Japanese men learn how to give wives more respect
- Divorces in Japan spiked after laws for separation changed
CNN Correspondent
TOKYO, Japan (CNN) -- In the corner of a small Japanese restaurant, a dozen dark suited businessmen gathered at a large table.
Smoke hovered over the dinner and beer disappeared as quickly as it was poured.
At first glance, it looked like a typical Friday night post-work scene played out all over Tokyo's taverns.
But then your eyes stop on a poster-sized sign propped up next to one of the middle-aged men. It reads:
Three Golden Rules of Love:
• Thank you (say it without hesitation)
• I am sorry (say it without fear)
• I love you (say it without embarrassment)
All the men at the table stood up. Equally spaced out and still wearing their stiff black suits, they chanted in unison, "I can't win! I won't win! I don't want to win!"
The chant was followed by a deep bow, a straightening of the backs, big smiles and a burst of applause. The meeting of the "National Chauvinistic Husbands Association" was underway.
If you're confused at this point, don't fret. The group is called the National Chauvinistic Husbands Association because it's a club for bossy husbands who need help (a little lost in translation effect here).
So the title is appropriate for this group of men. In an abrupt about face from traditional Japanese relationships, the men are learning how to give their wives more respect.
More poster signs surrounded the men at the meeting:
Three Golden Rules of Renewing Family:
• Let's Listen
• Let's Write
• Let's Talk
Three Golden Rules for Extramarital Affairs:
• I don't do it
• I am not doing it
• I am not even thinking about it
And there's even a system of ranking your husbandry in the club:
Rank 1: Love your wife after three years of marriage
Rank 2: Help with the household work
Rank 3: No extramarital affairs, or at least keep it a secret from her
Rank 4: Ladies first
Rank 5: Hold hands with your wife in public
Rank 6: Listen to what your wife has to say carefully and seriously
Rank 7: Solve issues between your wife and your mother
Rank 8: Say thank you without hesitation
Rank 9: Say I'm sorry without fear
Rank 10: Say I love you without embarrassment
The meeting was jovial and there was laughter at times. But the undercurrent was serious and taken to heart by the 4,700 members of this Japanese club.
They're all acutely aware of a new law in Japan this year that entitles a wife filing for divorce to claim half her husband's company pension.
That change led to a spike in divorces in the country, as some Japanese women, tired of their long-absent salarymen, decided they're better off on their own.
But these men say they don't want to be alone so they'll change for their wives.
As the men talked in their support-group setting, you quickly became aware of how rare it is to see men, especially businessmen, so emotionally intimate.
One man confessed his typical Japanese workday (spanning 16 hours at times) was making his wife angry. The group leader warned he's on the highway to divorce and he needs to put his wife before work.
Another man said he's too Japanese and can't seem to put his wife first. The group leader warned he's too old-fashioned.
Another man, married 22 years, shared the fear that he'll be alone in old age because his wife complains about his snoring. Heads around the table nodded up and down in sympathy.
I couldn't help but ask, "As an American, it seems so easy to hold hands or say 'I love you.' What's so hard about your rules or rankings?"
The group leader looked at me and said what's hard about the seemingly simple rules is following them fully and changing your behaviour. He said it's easy saying it or doing it, but changing who you are and really believing it is quite another.
He also pointed out to me that the divorce rate in America is over 50 percent. In Japan, the rate is still below 10 percent. Maybe, he suggested, some of the ways the Japanese approach love and marriage isn't so strange after all.
After the meeting, we followed a young man named Yohei Takayama home. He'd just been promoted to "Rank 4."
He admitted that "Rank 5," holding hands with his wife in public, was not going to be natural or easy. He and his wife have been married for two years. His wife said he's been a member of the club for a year and a half and it's changed their relationship dramatically.
Namely, she said, he helps more around the house, listens to her more, and understands she also has a career that exhausts her. What they're growing into, she said, is a partnership. They went grocery shopping, and I noticed he carried the bags and helped her decide what to buy.
As they left the store to go home, he took her hand in his. It didn't look like the most natural thing in the world for him, but he was trying. His wife smiled as they walked home.

Why Couples Fight and Latter Become Divorce?
Below is a very good article that we all must read specially when we start to have a family and getting married. Understand and having a good financial planner is a must in this modern day.
The No.1 Reason Why Couples Fight by Lisa Smith
Sex and money consistently rank among the top two reasons why couples fight. In both cases, one member of the group just can't seem to get enough of what he or she views as a scarce commodity. However, arguments about money, according to nearly every survey on the topic, generally win out as the top issue. In fact, according to a booklet entitled "Making Marriage Last", which is published by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, problems relating to financial matters are a major reason why marriages break down.
The Facts
Managing your finances is a chore. Like all the chores that couples need to complete (everything from cutting the grass and taking out the trash to washing the dishes and cleaning the bathroom), the division of labor is rarely 50/50. When it comes to money, one spouse may be more interested in managing it while the other is interested in spending. Sometimes, one spouse won't even talk or think about the topic.
The less interested spouse often views money as a means of control and may believe that the person holding the purse strings gets to make the decisions. While the essence of that view point is accurate, the person managing money often views saving instead of spending as merely the proper way of staying out of debt and never thinks about it terms of control. Because it is possible for people to have such very different views about money, sometimes its best to seek common ground before discussing exactly how this week's paycheck will be spent.
The Rules
To keep money from becoming an obstacle in your relationship, you need set the ground rules for how your household will handle the topic. Put these rules in place before you enter into a spending-related dispute. The middle of an argument is not a great place to try and come to a consensus.
Some good basic rules for how you and your spouse will interact when it comes to making decisions about how your money will be spent include:
- Don't hide it.
- Don't lie about it.
Once you've both agreed to be honest, you need a way to break stalemates when it comes time to make decisions. The best choice here is that consensus rules. Of course, if you can't find common ground on a particular decision, you should agree in advance that prudence takes precedence. With prudence as your guideline, you will be more likely to make the choice to save instead of spend when you can't agree that spending is a good idea. Setting up a budget can be a great way to develop a mutually agreed upon vision of your spending and saving habits.
If you set the rules but still can't come to an agreement, consider counselling. Arguing can often be unproductive, and throwing up your hands and walking away accomplishes nothing. Sometimes an impartial moderator can help frustrated couples see eye to eye. The key is to stay engaged in the process as you develop spending habits that you are happy with as a couple and as an individual.
