This book is going to give you a large number of tips on what you can do with the lemon in your hand. You are going to be surprised that in ancient times, in places where lemons were plentiful, lemons were used to make natural beauty products, as well as in medicine, apart from being used extensively in cuisine as an agent to impart a sour flavor to the dish cooked, in place of vinegar. According to ancient medical sciences, nature has already programmed human bodies to cure themselves naturally, with the passing of time. Nevertheless, they used herbs, vegetables, and spices as natural medicines to support and encourage the healing process. Once they began to be used for healing, they were then used for cooking. Lemons, grown in the places where they were native, were used to boost up the human immune system and to keep one healthy, throughout one’s lifetime. In ancient medicine, it was supposed that a lemon was capable of curing you from scalp to toenail. If you want to know more about how you can plant lemons in your garden, and their types, you will like this book – The Magic of Lemons - found here: http://tinyurl.com/j8mzzsm The various medical uses to which a lemon has been used down the ages is the reason why it is scientifically called Citrus Medica. A lemon is able to cure diseases from anemia to viral diseases.

Water Purification For Survival - A Guide for Purification and Conservation of Water

Water Purification For Survival - A Guide for Purification and Conservation of Water
Table of Contents Preface Introduction Chapter 1 - Collecting water Discerning Filtration and Purification Chapter 2 - Filteration Techniques Building a water filter Chapter 3 - Purification techniques Boiling Filtration or purification pumps Purification drops and tablets Make an evaporation trap in the ground. Turning urine and salt water into drinkable water. Solar still Chapter 4 - Choose Your Snow Wisely How to melt snow the right way Does the water from snow need to be purified? Chapter 5 - Different Approaches to Hydration Chapter 6 - Minimising Water Loss Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Nothing, I repeat nothing, is more important than water for humans to live on this planet (well excluding oxygen though that’s obvious). Your body is made up of around 60-80% water and you cannot hope to continue performing your daily chores with the same efficiency if you don’t find enough water. Certainly the amount of usage of water varies depending upon the climate and activities you are involved in, but its presence is always required. In a moderate climate with low levels of activity, approximately 2 liters of water is required daily for a 160 lb person. Certainly when the climate changes or the level of activity turns to exercise, you need to increase this amount simultaneously. The first sign of dehydration may be discerned through the color of the urine. A normal hydrated body produces a pale yellow color, but a dehydrated body produces urine that is darker in color. To make sure that the body doesn’t dehydrate you need to not only meet the required quantity of water, but you also have to make sure that the water is clean. The reason why you constantly need to drink water is because your body continuously releases liquids and you need to maintain those levels. The release of liquids from your body is in the form of urination, sweating, excretion, and respiration. The liquids are released so that the toxins can be removed from your body and proper hydration makes this happen along with redistributing the nutrients in the body. Water also provides the pathway for electrical impulses to travel through nerve and brain cells to activate the muscles. The brain in itself is made up of 80% water.

Triceratops - The Three-Horned Dinosaur Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Appearance and Behavior Chapter 3: Environment Conclusion Bonus Dinosaur Content Introduction to Dinosaurs Facts about Dinosaurs Dinosaur Extinction Dinosaur Fossils Dinosaur Eggs Dinosaur Names Dinosaur Diet Feathered Dinosaurs Plant Eating Dinosaurs The Weirdest Dinosaurs The Deadliest Dinosaurs Flying Dinosaurs Kinds of Dinosaurs The Biggest Dinosaurs The Smallest Dinosaurs Author Bio Publisher Introduction Salutations young reader! Today we are going to embark on a journey back to the age of the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are some of the most incredible animals that ever lived on our planet. They lived nearly 200 million years ago and thrived for about 165 million years. We humans have only been around for about 60,000 years and we have only been using computers for about 75 years. The dinosaurs mysteriously became extinct and disappeared from our earth, but left their fossilized remains behind. Dinosaur fossils have been constantly discovered in human history; the Chinese thought they were dragon bones and Europeans thought they were the bones of biblical monsters. Luckily, the scientific study of dinosaurs began between 1815-1824 with the discovery of an Iguanodon fossil. Since then dinosaurs have been discovered all over the world. Their immense size, strange shapes, and wonderful natures make them inherently worthy of interest. The study of dinosaurs requires depth of imagination, analytical skills, and thought. The many unanswered questions about their lives, behavior, and disappearance provoke the curious to seek answers and ask even more questions. I hope this book fuels your imagination and makes you want to learn even more about dinosaurs. I hope you learn to appreciate the value of the dinosaurs and that you bring a spirit of openness and wonder on your journey back to the age of the dinosaurs.
