Cauliflower is an excellent source of folic acid, which protects against heart disease and birth defects, making it a particularly healthy vegetable. It does provide some vitamin C, so it’s a good immune-booster, but the white part is in fact the immature flowering head. Eating some of the tender green leaves closest to the flower will increase the amounts of vitamin C, betacarotene and folic acid that you get. Besides these factors that cauliflower has, the taste and texture like crunchiness make this vegetable as one of my favorite.

I make it sure we always have apples in our kitchen. Or during our long travel, I bring an apple and put it inside my bag. It provides instant energy instead of eating those unhealthy and salty junk foods that most people do. According to an ancient proverb, “If you can plant only one tree in your garden, this should be an apple tree.” How true? An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but two is real tonic for your heart and circulation. Apples are also rich in soluble fibre.

This old and abandoned honeycomb is a mass of hexagonal wax cells built by commercial and wild honey bees in their nests to contain their larvae and stores of honey and pollen.
When I was still young, I used to go with my father whenever he will harvest honey in our farm. Of course, we wore some protection to avoid being bitten by honeybees. He remove the entire honeycomb to harvest honey and we used the honey for our home (personal, health purposes). Harvesting honey is really adventurous and interesting!
