We want to get stronger and faster, and to achieve that we push ourselves to train every day without resting.But hey, you muscle need time to recover and your poor body, deserves some proper rest too. When you exercise too much, your body is using all the energy to recover from the training. Hence, you will feel exhausted and lethargy.

Ms Marvel, A Story About Marvel's First Ever Muslim Superhero, Is Out Now on Disney+!

As Marvel moved into their 4th phase last year, we were given amazing shows like Wandavision and Loki, which are both critically acclaimed shows that were a huge success. Thye made us cry, scream, shout and of course laugh but most of all they made us want more!Since we asked for more, we got more. It was only in 2013 when Marvel decided to break down stereotypes by reimagining the comic book character of Ms Marvel initially a blonde superpowered military hero as a Muslim Pakistani-American teenager named Kamala Khan.
  The plot of the series is mostly centred around the origin story of Kamala Khan, a challenged teenager living in New Jersey. Some of the challenges she faces are struggling to reconcile her Muslim Pakistani ancestors' strict customs and ethics with the American environment she lives in, while also coming to terms with her new set of abilities.
  The first episode definitely catches our attention in the first few minutes itself as Kamala does something that every Muslim can relate to. She places the key in the ignition, turns it, whispers to herself "Bismillah" and exhales deeply. She was taking her driving test and just like many Muslims in Malaysia, we all say "Bismillah" when doing something challenging while hoping for the best. Besides "Bismillah" many other Muslim phrases were thrown around throughout the series like "assalamu alaikum" (peace be onto you) and "astaghfirullah" (I seek forgiveness in God) which makes the series more relatable especially to Malaysian audiences since our country's main religion is Muslim. This is a good thing because Muslims are hardly represented on television.
  As we know, in most tv shows or movies, Muslims are often vilified or just not represented. The new change of scenery that is taking place in the film world for Muslims is a brand new, fresh and positive change that will definitely help challenge stereotypes and stigmas that exist within society. In Ms Marvel, yes, we get that normal coming-of-age teenage drama but most importantly we get to see a young and ambitious Muslim female superhero who shatters stereotypes and it also shows Muslim children a superhero who shares their background and religious belief is a superhero which is inspirational in its own way.

It’s Confirmed! Elon Musk Just Bought Twitter For $44 Billion & Here’s What It Means For The Rest Of Us

BREAKING: Elon Musk now reigns the kingdom of Twitter.
  Elon Musk, the self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist" has offered to acquire Twitter for #44 Billion, which Twitter has since accepted. Now, what does this exactly mean for the rest of us?Let's see, shall we?1. A much broader practice of free speechIn a statement, Musk said, "Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated... I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spambots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it."So, less restriction on controversial tweets we're guessing? 2. The edit button on Twitter might no longer be just a dream for usersFor decades, users on Twitter have been dreaming of a world where the edit button existed, so they could freely edit their tweets long after they are posted on the internet. One's opinions tend to change over time, and users would like the freedom to tweak repair old tweets accordingly. With Musk owning Twitter, the existence of the edit button might come to fruition soon. 3. Give the public access to Twitter's algorithmMusk also proposes that Twitter's algorithm be freely accessed by the public. Specifically, he supports placing Twitter's algorithm on the platform called GitHub, where programmers have the freedom to share computer codes. 4. Wage wars on spambotsSpambots, who doesn't hate them? Emphasizing the authentication of real humans on the app, Elon Musk stated that "If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!", in one of his tweets a month ago. If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 21, 2022 5. Subscribe-able Twitter? In his attempt to get rid of advertisements on Twitter, Musk has proposed for Twitter to stop relying on advertisement revenues altogether, and to strive to build a subscription model instead. His justification? If people are being made to pay for Twitter subscriptions, they shouldn't be seeing unnecessary advertisements.
  Known for his eccentric and quirky personality, Elon Musk's personal touches on one of the biggest social media platforms to exist in our current time are to be highly anticipated. What do you predict will change about Twitter, now Elon Musk is in charge? Discuss with us in the comment section!

Fadillah Yusof Creates History, First East Malaysian Appointed As DPM

ICYMI: "I Declined Cabinet Role To Focus As Damansara MP," Says GobindPetra Jaya Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof created history as the first Malaysian from Sarawak, one of the East Malaysian states in Malaysia, ever appointed as Deputy Prime Minister.Fadillah was born in a Malay village in Sibu in central Sarawak. He is the son of the late Yusof Merais, the man who fought side by side with Rosli Dhoby in resisting Sarawak's surrender to the British in 1946.After graduating with a Bachelors degree in Law from Universiti Malaya in 1986, Fadillah entered politics as a means for the advancement of Malaysia and Sarawak.His foray into politics started as a Youth Wing member in Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu Sarawak (PBB). It is here that Fadillah exhibited his excellent leadership prowess which led him to be chosen as the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate to defend the Petra Jaya parliamentary seat in the 10th general election in 2004 for the party.He won the seat comfortably, winning with a five-digit majority securing 12,816 votes - a majority which eventually became the benchmark for the future success of the party in the subsequent general elections.In GE11, his majority increased to 14,397 votes and the big wins continued until GE15 which he considered the most challenging election yet he managed to secure a 41,363-vote majority.By now, Fadillahs popularity was not just limited to Petra Jaya. The Federal leadership began to take notice which then led to him being appointed as the Deputy Science, Technology and Innovation Minister in 2008.Following his success in retaining his Petra Jaya seat in GE13, Fadillah was promoted to full minister to helm the Works Ministry in 2013.The appointment brought new challenges to Fadillah when a year later the Sarawak political landscape changed following the appointment of the late Tan Sri Adenan Satem as the new chief minister.Adenan wanted change to happen fast, especially in terms of infrastructure development.Sensing the people of Sarawak and also Sabah desperately wanted a sophisticated infrastructure system that the people in the peninsula enjoyed, Adenan applied for a highway project later known as the Pan Borneo Highway.The Pan Borneo Highway project kicked off in 2015 after an agreement was reached with the Federal government and despite the political uncertainties between 2018 and early 2020, the project was able to proceed.Despite being dropped from the Federal Cabinet for almost two years, Fadillah who was the Works Minister before, continued to take the lead in completing the project.Of Sarawak's portion of the Pan Borneo Highway project, almost 90 per cent has been completed and it is expected that the people will enjoy it by next year.For sure, the success of the project will definitely be the foundation for Fadillah to climb up the party leadership hierarchy uninterrupted.He is now the senior vice-president of the party which is the backbone of the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) in his continued struggle to fight for the welfare of the people.With this new trust placed on him by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who also named him as Plantations and Commodities Minister, Fadillah is certainly able to uphold that responsibility as he has shown over the years.The faith put in him by the 10th Prime Minister, and his ability also reinforces the confidence given by the other three previous Prime Ministers in Fadillah in continuing to lead Malaysia towards greater success.


Can Unmarried Non-Muslim Couples Be Charged Under 'Khalwat' For Living Together in Malaysia?

With all the news of young couples getting busted by the local Islamic Religious Affairs officers, some of us are getting a little worried. Are we guilty for living with our partners even though we are unmarried? Will we end up in prison or will we have to pay a fine or both just because of our living situation?
  First let’s find out what is ‘khalwat’?Well first and foremost, ‘khalwat’ is more than just and unmarried couple living together. ‘Khalwat’ is actually an offense under Syariah Law, and you could be charged if+ any man who is found together with one or more women, not being his wife or wives or family member; or+ any woman who is found with one or more men, not being her husband or family member,in any secluded place or in a house or room under circumstances which may give rise to suspicion that they are engaged in an immoral act shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding three thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both.So basically, if you are a man and woman couple and you are not married but, living together in a house then yes, you could be guilty.
  Although it is stated that “under circumstances which may give rise to suspicion that they are engaged in an immoral”, what exactly is considered as suspicious can vary depending on the case. So, can a non-muslim be charged for ‘khalwat’?Well, non-muslims cannot be charged for khalwat. But what if you are caught living together with a muslim partner? Good news, you still won’t be charged for ‘khalwat’, but your muslim partner might not be as lucky as you. The reason for this is ‘khalwat’ fall under the under the jurisdiction of Syariah matters and Syariah matters are dealt with at Syariah Courts AND Syariah courts only only have jurisdiction over Muslims. So no, you and your partner don’t have to run away and become fugitives. You can go back to Netflix and Chilling with your partner in your beautiful home.

Different Types Of Toxic In-Laws & How To Spot Them Before It’s Too Late

While we do get to choose our life-long partners unfortunately we don't get to choose our in-laws, they come as a package deal like a buy 1 get 5 free, but you can't choose the free stuff, kinda deal. Some people get lucky and get the best in-laws, most of the time they're just a little annoying but the worst kind of in-laws are the TOXIC ones! In case you're still confused as to whether your in-laws are the annoying ones or the straight-up toxic ones, here's a whole list of the various types of toxic in-laws, let's see if they check any boxes:#1 The Judgy OnesBy far the worst kind of in-laws are the judgy ones who seem to disapprove of everything. The food you cook is too oily, the way you organise your home is too messy, the way you dress up is too inappropriate, your job isn't distinguished enough and everything you do seems to be wrong! Whenever they say they're coming over you just get stressed and try your best to make everything at home seem perfect but even so, they still find something to criticise. When they leave, you just feel like the most flawed person on earth.
  #2 The Over-Dependant OneThese kinds of in-laws can never seem to do anything on their own. They constantly need your spouse to rush over to their house to do something for them. They pretend to be completely helpless although they have been doing everything for themselves and for their children their whole lives. This normally happens when the other parent isn't there or when their spouse isn't supportive. They use their child as a surrogate spouse and get their emotional needs from their child. They don't realise that since you come first and get very angry when your partner/their child puts your first. #3 The Guilt-TripperOne of their catchphrases is: I raised you and this is how you show your appreciation. They constantly emotionally manipulate your partner so that things always go their way. So you planned a romantic trip with your partner, next thing you know your in-law is coming too because they asked your partner if they could come and when your partner said no they said "All I want to do is spend time with you. Nowadays you barely spend any time with me. You don't take me on trips at all, when you were young I always took you whenever I went on holiday and now this is how I am repaid?"
  #4 The 'We're Family Now' OnesThese kinds of in-laws are the ones who feel like just because you married their child you are now 100% their family and have to be totally involved in everything they do and they have to be totally involved in everything you do. They are going on a weekend trip, you have to come too even if you're working or if you're tired and just want to relax at home, you need to go because you're family and families do things together. There's no opt-out option for you, you married their child and total involvement was in their terms and conditions. #5 The ControllersThe controllers are the kind of in-laws who believe that your partner is incapable of doing anything on their own and they have to get involved to make sure your partner does things right. They get involved in every single aspect of your partner's life and sometimes even yours! They treat both of you like children who don't know how to do anything on your own. They buy groceries for you, they cook for you, they are always at your home doing the housework which might seem like they are just trying to be nice but then they start making all your big decisions for you and your partner, so make sure it doesn't get to that stage.
  #6 The 'No Boundaries In Families' OnesIf you have in-laws who ignore all boundaries then they are definitely under this category. Still unsure what it means? You tell them you are uncomfortable with them visiting unannounced, goes what they'll do? They'll visit unannounced. They try to pry and find out about everything that's going on between you and your partner, even the intimate stuff and then they go and tell every other family member about it. Whenever you and your partner are having a private conversation, they demand to know what is going on and if you don't get them involved they complain about it to everyone else in the family. There is no such thing as privacy with them, whenever they are over, they don't think there's anything wrong with going through your stuff. #7 The One With An Addiction ProblemMost of the time when an in-law struggles with addiction, it can be heartbreaking to see how it affects your partner and to be honest it can have an effect on you as well. They are constantly in trouble and your partner is the one who has to put out the fire every time. Your plans are always put aside to deal with emergencies involving your in-law. It creates so much stress, heartbreak and chaos that is enough to be considered toxic.

To prevent overheating or, worse, fire, the U Series comes with a highly-durable copper heater unit made of self-extinguishing, non-combustible copper.One Push to Switch On/Off Panasonic has upped its shower game by including a simple One Push on/off button instead of the old-school knob-turning adjustments on the heater.Protects against Electric ShockFor the unfamiliar, you should know that the insulated structure, which complies with IEC 60529 (IP2X), will certainly shield you from risks like experiencing an electric shock by providing an enclosure that prevents access to hazardous areas with a finger or other foreign objects.Safety Protection against Current LeakageThe U Series provides total protection from electric shock as we know it.

Well, the solution comes when the Water Flow Sensor in the U Series Water Heaters would immediately shuts off the power supply when the water flow is too little or nonexistent. Built to Prevent FireNobody wants to have a shower and suddenly finds the shower catching fire. To avoid any fire accidents, the external casing is built with UL-94-V0 classification material, which is non-flammable and self-extinguishing.Cuts Off Power Supply during Component FailureHave you ever experienced your heater continuously heating when showering? Well, this happens when there's a case of a component failure that results in continued heating under unexpected circumstances but the U Series has a Manual Reset Thermostat that will help shut off the power supply to prevent fire.Prevents against First-Degree BurnIn order to minimize first-degree burns, it also has an Auto Thermal-Cut Out technology that shuts off the power when the water temperature goes beyond the hazard limit of 55 degrees.To summarise its safety features, the Panasonic U Series includes 9 features that help in the avoidance of electric shocks, fire and burn. Comfortable Shower ExperienceDo you know that feeling when you're enjoying your hot shower and all of a sudden the temperature changes?

Squid Game Theories Which Make So Much Sense!

Recently becoming the first South Korean Netflix show to become number 1 worldwide, Squid Game premiered on the 17th of September 2021, and took over the globe with its one-of-a-kind storytelling. Since then, everyone has been all over it, and many theories, conspiracies, predictions as well as takeaways have flooded the internet. As means to keep all you fans in the loop, we took the liberty of listing down some observations which surfaced. Without wasting anymore time, scroll below and get ready to go WOAH!#1 II-Nam isn't scanned in the first game
  During the red light-green light game, when the players were scanned by the doll to detect movement, it skips the old man, maybe an indication of how he wasn't a real player.#2 The password to re-entering the game is the name of the first game
  When Gi-Hun and the others decide to rejoin the game, and they await at the pick up point, the password given to the masked driver is 'red light green light'. #3 The envelopes at the station signifies what your role would be upon entering the game
  The envelopes shown by the man in a suit at the station, were both red and blue. What if red meant you claimed the role of the masked men, whereas blue meant that you were to enter the game as participants?#4 The games were drawn on the walls of their dormitory
  When there were only three players left, and all the beds had been removed, the designs on the walls of their dorm were visible, showing all the games they had previously played. #5 Gi-Hun dyed his hair red to show a turn of tables
  What if his red hair symbolized him returning to the game in season 2, as a masked player this time, in order to destroy it from within?#6 The masked people are divided into social classes
  Maybe circles were to represent the working class, squares the managers, and triangles (who had weapons) the military. #7 The number 456
  When betting on horses in the beginning of the show, Gi-Hun won 4.56 million, his number during the games was 456, and in the end he won 45.6 billion. Coincidence?#8 A familial relationship between Gi-Hun and Il-Nam
  When Gi-Hun speaks about milk, Il-Nam predicts that he was spanked a lot as a kid, and Gi-Hun is surprised that he knows. When Gi-Hun and Il-Nam go to the mock-up of where they used to stay, they share the area as being similar to their own homes in the past. The fact that Il-Nam cares more so for Gi-Hun as compared to anyone else in the game.
  Surprised? We are too. Of course, mostly based on speculation, who's to say which is which. Nevertheless, we cannot wait to see what season 2 will bring. In the mean time though, do join in the thrill and catch the full series now available on Netflix.


Outrage Sparks as 7-Year-Old Forced To Stand Under Blazing Sun For Arriving Late To School, Investigation Launched

The Johor Islamic Religious Council (MAINJ) is set to investigate allegations that a seven-year-old student from a religious school was made to stand under the sun as punishment for being late to school. According to State Islamic Religious Affairs Committee chairman Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid, MAINJ has directed its Islamic education department and the District Islamic Education Office to obtain reports on the matter and conduct a thorough investigation.The allegations came to light after a video clip was shared on TikTok, where a user claimed that her child was forced to stand under the scorching sun for arriving just ten minutes late to school. She wrote in a caption that her child had been "discarded, humiliated, and left standing by themselves in the hot sun." "The ustazah is cruel!"The student, who has not been named, was reportedly made to suffer the punishment as a disciplinary measure. Given the recent spike in reports of student deaths from heat stroke, the incident has prompted concerns pertaining to the safety and wellbeing of students at the school.  @dvafella Dalam pada pihak KPM mengambil langkah berjaga² pada musim panas ni..anak aku selamba je ustazah denda JEMUR tengah cuaca panas atas alasan anak aku lambat ke sekolah. Dah la di pulaukan diasingkan berdiri jauh dari perhimpunan pelajar² lain disidainya anak aku sorang² bawah panas terik jam 2petang sedangkan ustazah tu pandai pulak berteduh bawah koridor. Makan hati jugak aku yang tengok anak aku baru berusia 7tahun darjah 1 kena DENDA macam tu terkontang kanting sorang² diBAWAH panas terik. DiMALUKAN DiPULAUkan dari masuk barisan perhimpunan sekolah. Tidak dibenarkan masuk barisan perhimpunan akibat lambat 10minit. Waktu pembelajaran masih belum bermula..semua pelajar belum lagi masuk ke bilik darjah. Masih lagi dalam perhimpunan. Agak² la kalau nak denda pun, tempat teduh ada kenapa ko JEMUR anak aku tengah panas terikk! Apa la bodoh sangat pemikiran..akal ada tak guna ke?

Stall Owner Refuses To Raise Prices, Still Sells Chicken Rice For RM3.60 So Everyone Can Afford To Eat

Malaysians are now bearing the ugly cost of inflation with many forced to watch their pennies and hope to god they survive just enough before their next pay check.
  Similarly, food vendors have also been compelled to increase food prices, putting them at danger of losing customers who may no longer be able to afford what was once an affordable meal. One chicken rice vendor in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, on the other hand, refused to put financial strain on his customers and has decided to keep his menu inexpensive for anyone to enjoy without tearing their wallet. Chen Xian Kai adamant on keeping his chicken rice affordable at RM3.60
  Chen Xian Kai (hanyu pinyin), the proprietor of Ji De Lai Hainan Chicken Rice stated that he decided to sell each packet of chicken rice for RM3.60 simply because he refused to put customers in further financial hardship, as reported by Sin Chew Daily. "I continue to sell chicken rice for RM3.60 even though the cost of chicken has climbed up by 7 to 8 times because I'd rather make less money than see people go hungry," the man remarked.The government's announcement to end chicken subsidies two weeks earlier, Chen continued, had a negative impact on his company.
  "Customers believed I would be raising the price after the announcement, which caused my revenue to decline by 20%. However, things began to return to normal once I told them I wouldn't be doing that.As if that's not enough generosity, Chen additionally distributes 100 to 150 packages of chicken rice to low-income people every two to three months. Alas, the common people seem to have more empathy than those in power. Would you do the same, if you were in his position? Share with us your thought in the comment section!Source: Sin Chew Daily

Rooftopper Who Scaled Merdeka 118 Shares Her Sly Intrusion Tactic

A Russian couple Ivan Beerkus and Angela Nikolau recently posted a picture of themselves at the top of the Merdeka 118 skyscraper, and it quickly went viral on social media.Netizens were drawn to the image and inquired about the couple's safety as well as how they managed to scale the structure and enter the building.The time has come and I'd love to share the giga story how I climbed the incredible Merdeka 118Couldn't help adding @steveaoki music here as it was playing in my head when I was standing on top of the world.Feel the dizziness of being there with me Back to the story pic.twitter.com/PYtwbzLX9T— Angela Nikolau (@AngelaNikolau_) January 4, 2023 Angela however took to Twitter to "show off" her sly intrusion tactic in order to penetrate the building without being detected.In order to study the build of the building, she rented an apartment that had a good view of the tower, and just to study the building, it took her several weeks to figure out the important details.During the day she infiltrated the building, she disguised as a contractor by wearing a builder's uniform along with a hijab and spectacles. She ran for her life up to the 32nd floor until she got exhausted and perspired too much.
After she rested, there was one moment when she got detected and entered a small concrete box where she spent more than 20 hours in to hid from authorities.
As she went on and on in her tweets, she ended by saying, "I respect laws of every country. Even what I do is trespassing sometimes, I took special care not to cause any damage to anything, which other roofers sometimes do. My goal is to create memorable art by capturing the moments of worlds tallest buildings."However, netizens are not impressed as they were angered with how she had the audacity to disguise herself using a hijab and think it was "news" to parade around doing something illegal just to take photos.'Cause, to be frank, Merdeka118 can't possibly have a security system whereby any Tom, Dick, and Harry could just disguise and walk in without anyone noticing.

It's unusual to see a Ramli burger business managed by a Chinese. Which makes this video all the more fascinating!This customer came up to her stall and placed a Burger Ayam Special order. He then watches while the person working behind the counter makes his burger.When he questioned her about her experience, she said confidently that it had been more than two years that she's been running the stall.But, it became apparent over time that she doesn't make the burgers the same way as other Ramli burger stalls. Particularly when he had to ask whether or not she had brushed margarine on the buns.  @maskkita.os Boss burger ni benar ke? #raya2023 #selamathariraya #samasamabantu #tiktok #lampuraya #tiktokmalaysia #viral #maskkita #latolatoupinipin #tiktokshopbazaarramadan #ramadan2023 #bazaarramadan2023 #gayaraya #bazaarramadan #ramadan #aprilfoolsday #prank #prankster  Suasana Hari Raya - MAZRO AKHIRO   She was also seen not seasoning the burger patties until he instructed her to Well, most of us are accustomed to having a round fried egg placed on our burgers or to having the patty wrapped within the egg right? Hence why it's called a burger special. Yet she made the egg a different way.Later, he requested for his burger to be made without veggies, but she still included some.
Also, despite his request for a small amount of sauce on his burger, she started drenching it instead. Even after he pointed out that it was enough. Which, she then exclaimed that it looked nicer that way.He commented that it didn't feel like she had been doing this for two years since the way she was preparing his burger still gave the impression that she was a rookie. Yet she persisted in saying that she had been doing it for some time.If you were in his position and your request wasn't even partially complied with, how would you feel?Hopefully, the customer will at least like the taste of the burger.

Effectiveness Of Hand Sanitizer | Impressive Experiment Result To Show the Importance of Handwashing

An example is better than words. When flu season had just started, Jaralee Metcalf, a behavioural specialist from Idaho Falls Elementary School experimented to show her students the importance of washing their hands properly. Currently, the whole world is following her example and her Facebook post has been shared virally.Five slices of white bread (from the same loaf) were used in her experiment. The only difference is the cleanliness of the surface that came into contact with the slices of bread. The five slices of bread were placed in individual plastic bags. Observations were recorded over one month.The first slice of bread which was rubbed on the Chromebook looked worse than all the other specimens.The second piece of bread was a control piece, in which it was placed directly in the plastic bag and labelled “Fresh & untouched.” After one month, the second slice of bread still looked good as before.The third piece of bread was touched by the students with their unwashed hands. One month later, this slice of bread was covered by a large number of moulds.The fourth piece of bread was touched by the students who have washed their hands with warm water & soap. After one month, there are no obvious bacteria on it. This result intelligibly explained the importance of hand-washing.The fifth slice of bread was touched by the students who have cleaned their hands with hand sanitizer. However, it turned out to have a lot of bacteria too. Therefore, this is a good example that hand sanitizer cannot replace proper hand-washing with soap. Hopefully, this article could help you realise the importance of proper hand-washing. Besides, it is not advisable to make your own hand sanitizer without clean water and medical-grade products. For more information, click here.

POWER of Bananas | Dietary Taboos When Eating Bananas

I believe that you must have seen Chinese badminton player, Chen Long and Indian badminton player Sindhu, won after eating bananas at Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Hence, many people are curious about the "power" of bananas. Let's know more about the nutritional value of bananas and the taboo of eating bananas.  #1. Good For Cardiovascular HealthAccording to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), high-potassium and low-sodium foods can reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. A banana contains about 400 to 450 mg of potassium, which helps maintain blood pressure and fight atherosclerosis (thickening or hardening of the arteries).  #2. Anti-CancerBananas contain ingredients that increase white blood cells and promote the production of tumour necrosis factor (TNF). The researcher Masari Yamazaki of the University of Tokyo pointed out that the more dark spots on the banana skin, the higher the nutritional value the bananas have. The fructooligosaccharides of bananas can support good bacteria in the intestines, reduce the retention of carcinogens (agents with the capacity to cause cancer in humans).  #3. Fight Against Oxidation Stress & Free Radical Damage After ExerciseCarbohydrates are very important for athletes because it is the main energy source and a necessary nutrient for the complete burning of fat. Vigorous or excessive exercise can induce oxidative stress, cause free radical damage and cause inflammation.Bananas are rich in sugars, potassium, magnesium and other nutrients that have antioxidant functions. If eaten half an hour before exercise, it will help the body store energy. It is advisable to eat bananas after exercise because bananas can provide glycogen (needed by muscles), potassium, and magnesium to fight against the oxidative stress caused by exercise. This is why we often see athletes eating bananas on the court.  #4. Anti-stress/ Stabilise Your MoodBananas are rich in tryptophan and vitamin B6, which can help the brain produce serotonin, stabilize the mood and make people happy. In addition, tyrosine can increase the secretion of dopamine in the brain, thereby improving creative thinking ability.    #5. Solve Constipation ProblemBananas contain fibre and fructooligosaccharides, which can promote the growth of intestinal beneficial bacteria and defecation. In addition, banana pectin and other water-soluble fibres can absorb water and improve diarrhoea problems. Potassium and magnesium can also help replenish electrolytes lost by diarrhoea.  #6. Stabilizing Appetite & Helps To Lose WeightBananas are rich in monosaccharides such as fructose and glucose, which can maintain the stability of blood sugar, thereby helping to stabilize appetite and effective weight management.  Although there are many benefits to eating bananas, remember to pay attention to the following taboos!⛔ Avoid Eating Raw BananasOnly ripe bananas have the effect of smoothening bowel movements. Raw bananas contain more tannins, which can inhibit the secretion of gastrointestinal juice and inhibit its peristalsis. Excessive intake will cause constipation or worsen the condition of constipation.    ⛔ Avoid Eating On An Empty StomachBananas cannot be eaten in large quantities on an empty stomach. If a large amount of potassium and magnesium in bananas are taken in, it will be detrimental to health. Try not to consume exceeding 3000 mg of bananas per day.    ⛔ People With High Blood Sugar Should Avoid Eating BananasEvery 100 grams of bananas contains nearly 20 grams of sugar, so it is not suitable for people with high blood sugar. If you eat bananas for a long time or in large quantities, it will slow down blood circulation and cause accumulation of metabolites, which will aggravate discomfort.    ⛔ Avoid Eating Bananas With These 4 Foods❌ Eating bananas together with cantaloupe can cause kidney failure and aggravation of joint patients.❌ Combination of elements contained in the bananas and potatoes will produce certain toxins that can cause spots.❌ Eating bananas together with taro will cause abdominal distension and poisoning.❌ Eating too many sweet potatoes with bananas will cause the food to stay in the stomach for a long time, causing stomach discomfort.

Paws & Popcorn: Thai Cinema Goes Pet-Friendly

ICYMI: WATCH: Thai Buffalo Now A Beauty Influencer. Owner Applies Make-Up On Buffalo & Goes ViralA fluffy white cat in a yellow dress perched on the top of a Bangkok cinema seat while, nearby, a Chihuahua in a Sebastian the Crab costume geared up to watch Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' with their owner. One terrier even channelled Ariel in a red wig and mermaid's tail.They were among dozens of four-legged film-goers that arrived in strollers Saturday for the opening of Thailand's first pet-friendly cinema on the fringes of the capital.The country's pet industry is considered the second-biggest in Asia, behind China's, with some 8.3 million dogs and 3.7 million cats in 2021, according to industry data.Pet ownership grew further during the coronavirus pandemic, and now some businesses are trying to cash in.Mano, 37, had brought his rescue cat, Kati, to the cinema. "We take him to work sometimes...today is like an experiment. We are seeing 'The Little Mermaid.' He will enjoy seeing all the fish on the screen."The animals had to wear diapers and sit in bags while the sound and lighting were adjusted for their comfort, Major Cineplex spokesman Narute Jiensnong said.One long-time Bangkok expat said that, while her cat frequently falls asleep beside her on the couch watching TV at home, she would never take her pet to the cinema and thinks the concept is "unnatural" and "torture". "Being zipped up in this cage, I don't know if thats enjoyable for the animal. It's so ridiculous dogs are not allowed in (most Bangkok) parks but they can go to a movie or cafe. What comes next, you bring your dog or cat to a massage parlour?"Earlier this month, Swedish furniture giant Ikea announced that small dogs and cats were welcome to visit its Thailand stores, as long as they sit in prams.


Wednesday Addams is heading to high school in Netflix's upcoming comedy, Wednesday!

Though Morticia and Gomez Addams daughter is best known for her misanthropy, the first trailer for Netflix's upcoming comedy Wednesday from director Tim Burtons a very useful (and promising) reminder that the morose teens always been a social butterfly. While the people Wednesday Addams deigns to grace with her presence might not enjoy her idea of a good time, thats not to say that she isn't making a good faith effort to, you know, connect with them.Wednesday's first trailer introduces its take on Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) just as she's being expelled from yet another one of her normal schools for terrorising her fellow students something neither her mother (Catherine Zeta-Jones) nor father (Luis Guzman) are especially surprised to hear. But while Wednesdays parents know that she's simply being herself and protecting her brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), they also understand that if their daughters ever going to get a solid education, she's going to need a school that can cater to her unique sensibilities.It's clear from the trailer that Nevermore Academy, a curious school run by Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie), is a much better fit for Wednesday, what with its classes focused on deadly duels and otherworldly creatures. But whats harder to tell is whether the rest of Nevermore's student body's going to be ready for the madness its newest student will bring to the school when Wednesday hits Netflix this fall.


WATCH: Distressing Videos Show Elderly Man And His Dogs Badly Assaulted By MBPJ Officers

TW: Animal CrueltyAn elderly man was badly assaulted by a team of MBPJ officers for trying to protect his pet dogs. He was beaten repeatedly with an iron rod and suffered injuries in his jaw and wrist.In a couple of videos circulating over the internet, the elderly man can be clearly seen trying to usher his dogs back in his house before a team of officers began to attack him and his dogs.At one point the poor elderly man was dragged forward by the iron rod. IN another video, the MBPJ officers is recorded capturing one of the dogs in a hostile manner, which many deemed uncalled for as the dog did not display any threatening character.According to a witness, the officers in question failed to provide the necessary information prior to reprimanding the dogs.Swipe to watch the videos (warning: distressing imagery):When confronted, the officers simply shouted back, "We work for the government, this is how we do our job!" and told the witness to lodge a police report if they weren't pleased with how they performed their so-called duty.The blatant use of power by the MPBJ officers involved has angered Malaysians and they've demanded these officers to be claim responsibility for their heinous action.The elderly man has since made a police report regarding the incident.What do you think of this issue?
