ARTICLE 3:Cocoa & Other Food Alternatives. (By Ilka Bradshaw)





“People in the cold, dark countries of the north have long known about the restorative properties of cocoa. It is no accident that cocoa features as people’s favorite bed time or winter warmer in places like Switzerland, Finland, and Iceland. Cocoa can fight high blood pressure as effectively as many high cost prescription drugs. Drinking a mug of cocoa each night over a two-week period helped who are suffered from hypertension significantly reduce their blood pressure. The beneficial effects of cocoa come from the high level of polyphenols and flavanoids present in the drink’s chocolate ingredients. It is not environmentally sound to fly exotic fruits and vegetables from one part of the world to the other when there are perfectly good local alternates closer to hand. Apples provide the perfect example of this. Apples are one of the best sources of health-giving properties occurring in the natural world. And yet, consumption of apples is in decline in many countries as people search out more exotic and usually far more expensive fruits and vegetables. Often precisely because they believe these foodstuffs will bring them a big health boost unavailable from their more usual food fare.”

MY COMMENT

For your information, chocolate just makes you feel happy and good about life. Interestingly, the cocoa can improved levels of general comfort and can makes us feel well. Why I said that?? This is because, I already try and it is true when I ate the chocolate it makes me feel relax and cloud nine.

ESSAY 3:MY LOVELY CAT






Since time immemorial human being and animals like cat, fish, bird, and any animals gave lived together.

I used to have a very special pet, it is my lovely animal. She was a very cute cat. My friend gave it to me for my birthday. I named her Moch because she was as cute as the bear and also me..hehehe.. Moch was very beautiful, naughty cat, and bit aggressive too. She had white fluffy fur and purple eyes and she had a little gray spot on her head and a black spot on her tail, and she also had small legs with very cute paws. When my friend gave her to me, she was four months old. My friend brought her back from one of his holiday trips to Australia.

Moch was a very smart cat. Why I said that?? This is because she used to known my timing for every single day. She would wake me up in the morning, a couple of minutes before my alarm clock would sound off, by hug me. She even knew what time I came home, I noticed this when I used to hear clawing at the door of my house. Then, when I opened the door, she would jump on me and want me hug her as if she was trying to tell me that she missed me so much.

The best thing that I used to like about her is that she was a trained cat. One time I took her to the shopping mall and I carried her in my bag to every store I went into. In one of the stores, she jumped out of my bag and started running around the store. We finally cornered her in one of the dressing rooms, and she jumped in my bag as if nothing happened. I would take her everywhere I went. Sometime, she hid under the chair and once the door opened, she runs swiftly out of the room and I will runs too to catch her back. She really like running in the house and I feel it is better than doing the evil things. I feel so happy when I run with her.

Till this day, Moch and I would always have great times together. Then, after she got tired, she would just run to me, sit on my lap and begin biting my hands as if she wanted me to pet her, so she can go to sleep. Anyway, I was a lucky person who have a very cute cat and always with me and also make me happy and smile every hour, every minutes, and every second. I really love Moch and she is my lovely cat…
