Although our food does not get glued with pan but certain elements of non-stick utensils contaminate our food which increases the danger for many diseases. It is better if we cook our food only on recommended and specified iron hot plates.

Many harmful chemicals are being added to milk, ghee and water these days which create may hygienic problems. Therefore, try to escape from these defects. Spare some open area when you plan the construction of your home so as to grow organic vegetables. These plants shall emancipate decoration through beautiful flowers and fruits. Certain persons express their inability on this line because they have brick and cemented houses. We shall be giving unique proposal to these people within a few days to grow vegetables even in concrete houses sand other places of business.
