  If you are looking to lose weight, please avoid diet pills and all those other drugs that claim to help you lose weight. I have purchased many of these in the past and never had any good results. That was when I decided to stop falling for these scams and started learning about the food that I put into my body.

  Kwame chickens and eggs are interchangeable. An egg is a disassembled chick, since everything needed to form the baby bird is inside the egg.
  The shell forms a casing that allows the contents of the egg, under proper conditions, to rearrange themselves into a baby bird who will hatch and grow into a reproducing member of his or her species.
  
  The hideous conditions of chickens on factory farms, syntetic estrogen in the feeds and the effects of this on Men particularly, since this causes the Prostrate to start growing has been widely reported, so many aim to eat supposedly “kinder” eggs that are labeled “free range” or “cage free” or a similar soothing label. These terms are not regulated and have no meaning. Most often, chickens suffer terribly to lay these eggs for commercial production. The laying hens must be replaced, and the male chicks who hatch to replace them are killed at birth since they have no profitable use. Often the tiny babies are ground up alive.
  
  Still, some insist they get their eggs from rescued chickens who are treated like much-loved pets. What could be wrong with that? For starters, these eggs have the potential to harm your health and weight, just as all eggs do. Here are seven reasons to choose a non-egg breakfast.
  
  ONE. The USDA National Nutrient Database records that a whole, cooked, hard-boiled egg has 155 calories, no fiber, and 10.6 grams of fat. Of this, about a third is saturated fat. Since the egg has no fiber, it will activate your stomach’s stretch receptors for fullness only to the extent of the volume of the egg itself, which is pretty small considering your stomach is a bit bigger than a liter. You could get so many more nutrients and satisfaction from fiber by eating 155 calories of whole plant foods, such as apples, black beans, or brown rice.
  
  TWO. Eggs contribute almost as much to the growth of plaque blocking your arteries as smoking does, according to a 2012 study. This study focused on egg yolks, and found that yolk consumption accelerated the development of the deadly plaque that causes heart attacks and strokes.
  
  THREE. Eating eggs measurably increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. For example, a recent study found that eating 3 to 5 eggs a week doubled the chances of becoming diabetic, and those eating 5 or more eggs a week had three times the risk of this deadly disease.
  
  FOUR. The incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is soaring. The fats in eggs may directly harm your liver, contributing to cell death, inflammation, and eventually deadly liver cirrhosis. The cholesterol concentrated in egg yolk can directly harm your liver as well.
  
  FIVE. Endotoxins, which can cause destructive inflammation in your body, are poisonous substances in bacteria that are released when the bacteria die. This inflammation fuels cardiovascular disease and chronic illnesses ranging from headaches to arthritis to autoimmune disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer. Fat helps transports endotoxins into your body – and recall that eggs are high in fat.
  
  SIX. Got salmonella, a disease-causing bacteria that causes nasty food poisoning? Salmonella bacteria, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), are frequently found on the outside as well as on the inside of eggs. The CDC recommends eating only thoroughly cooked eggs and tells you to “wash hands and all food contact surface areas (counter tops, utensils, dishes, and cutting boards) with soap and water after contact with raw eggs. Then disinfect the food contact surfaces using a sanitizing agent, such as bleach, following label instructions.” Do you really want to go to all this trouble every time you touch an egg, or have something so full of bacteria in your refrigerator?
  
  SEVEN. Don’t think you are home clear if you just eat egg whites, which have no cholesterol. Instead, egg whites are dense sources of animal protein, which itself directly raises cholesterol. The body sees bits of absorbed egg protein as a foreign invader, which can activate your immune system, again directly increasing inflammation and the risk of chronic illness.
  
  Forget being plagued by indecision in trying to chose the “kindest” egg or justifying to yourself eating the reproductive materials of rescued birds.
  
  Chicks, whether assembled into birds or disassembled in eggs, are not an appetizing or health promoting food. Give them up for a few weeks, give your tastes a transition period to change, and you’ll see what I mean. A whole foods, plant-based diet can quickly become your first choice. Your body will thank you, and so will the birds.

  It has been proved that the brown soft mango leave is good for controlling diabetics when boiled and drank three times a day. Also people who have high blood pressure can cook it together with a plant call kponukeki by Anlos and palm nut and prepare palm nut soup with it. One of my two brother in-laws who have diabetics and use the mango leave is still alive. The other one had stroke and dead two years ago.

  Two eggs boiling in a pan, one male and one female.
  
  The female egg says "Look, I've got a crack"
  
  "No good telling me" replies the male egg "I'm not hard yet."
