Covid-19, Shopping, Social Distancing

 

 The lockdown has been eased and we still need to stay alert. Here are some tips as mentioned on BBC about keeping yourself and others safe while shopping.


 1.     Shop alone if possible, the less people in shops the better for everyone.


2.    Stay 2 meters away from people if possible, if not due to size of shop cover your face or wear facemask.


3.     Look for the new signs, arrows on the floor to help navigate the shops in a seamless way to avoid crowing an aisle.


4.     Avoid touching things you are going to buy, if not possible use a glove.


5.     In addition to your wallet, make sure facemask and gloves are part of your daily contents in your car, shopping bag and bicycle.


6.     Pay with contactless always.


7.     Exercise more patience, everyone is getting used to the new norm and checkout process may be longer than usual.


In conclusion, we know things are going to be different and we all miss those days were going shopping can be therapeutic. It can be difficult explaining to our little one , why they cannot come to the shops at times but let's remember to stay alert and keep safe for the sake of humanity.

Americans Gulp Hormones With Milk Despite America is a country with high quality standards, but when it comes to food, the Americans must be more careful. Their food may contain dangerous ingredients that are banned in many other countries. Even the American milk isn’t safe. They give a special hormone bovine somatotropin (bGH) to cows in order to fasten their maturity and get more milk from them. They started using this hormone which is produced by cows’ pituitary gland in 2013. And this practice reportedly helps them to increase milk production by 10 percent. This hormone is being suspected in breast, colon, and prostate cancers. Because after cows are injected with this hormone, allegedly start producing another harmful hormone called insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This practice has a bad perspective. As this hormone makes cows more vulnerable to illness (reproductive problems, lameness, and udder infections), it means that they will receive more antibioti

I looked over — and realized it was one of my used pads! I threw it away fast,
