Sesame seeds also contain
|
|
|
Halo, I am Lamberta the Sheep. It’s a pleasure to see you all. Today’s nutrition tip will look at the health benefits of adding sesame seeds to your diet. Sesame seeds are super little seeds packed full of important nutrients, including manganese, copper, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorous, vitamin B1, zinc, protein and dietary fiber. Sesame seeds also contain sesamin and sesamolin, two substances that are thought to reduce blood pressure and strengthen the liver. Sesame seeds can be enjoyed toasted on a roll or dry fried in a pan and mixed with salt to make a sprinkle for savory dishes; you can enjoy them as a spread called tahini and even have them in a delicious sweet snack bar.

You’re just in time for the tip of the day. Today’s tip is a gardening tip. In order to help young seedlings and small plants grow during the cooler months, you can create mini greenhouses by cutting plastic drink bottles in half and placing them over your little plants. This will ensure a warmer environment and protection from insects while recycling the plastic bottles at the same time. Well, I’ve got plants to water now, but before I go, let’s take a look at the weather from around the globe.

Flipo the Penguin: Today’s tip is on how to save power and shorten the time when using the tumble dryer. Flipy the Penguin: Place a dry bath towel into the dryer with the wet washing. Then half way through the drying remove the towel and put it out to dry. Flipo the Penguin: The towel would have absorbed a lot of the moisture from the washing load, this way saving on drying time and power. Thanks for watching; that’s our tip for the day.

I heard a great tip the other day for keeping your windows cleaner longer. Add about one tablespoon of cornstarch to one-third gallon of lukewarm water. Wet a cloth or sponge, squeeze out excess water and wipe the glass. Dry with either a soft cloth or paper towel. Try this with your vehicle windows, too! It can clean the dirtiest windows in half the time. This cornstarch method doesn't build up static charge on the glass, so it won’t attract dust as quickly. That’s our tip; now,

To clean up your stainless steel
|
|
|
Sometimes in our kitchens, the sinks and stainless steel appliances can lose their shine. To clean up your stainless steel so that it shines beautifully, use a few drops of baby oil on a cloth or piece of kitchen towel. Rub over the whole surface evenly until you see all the smudges and watermarks disappear, and your stainless steel is shining like new.

. It’s very nice to see you again; it’s time for the tip of the day. If ever your car engine overheats you can help cool the engine by turning the heater on. This circulates the hot water from the engine through the heating system, allowing the engine to cool as the water carries the heat away. If it’s hot outside, it’s a good idea to keep all your windows down so you don’t get too warm.

Did you know that salad packaged in bags can contain high amounts of the preservative chlorine?
