I have a healthy nutrition tip to share with you! Did you know there are many health benefits to eating sesame? It contains lignans, which is a kind of soluble fiber that assists in hydrating and increasing stool volume, helping prevent constipation and useful to regulate blood sugar levels and improve gastrointestinal health. One of these lignans is called sesamin, which is linked to the improved metabolism of fats in the body. Sesamin helps decrease LDL cholesterol and thereby lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease. Sesame is also abundant in polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, which are antioxidants and provide anti-inflammatory effects. As a result, eating sesame helps relax blood vessels and control blood pressure. It is recommended you consume one to two tablespoons (14 to 28 grams) of sesame daily, ideally distributed throughout the day and not at once. You can eat it in its natural form as seeds topped on salads or you can use it to make cookies, cakes, breads or as a paste called tahini.
Now, it’s time to get those hilarity wheels rolling with the joke of the day. It’s called, “Take a Seat.”
Two women on a bus were arguing over the last available seat. The conductor had already tried unsuccessfully to intervene, when the bus driver shouted:
“Just let the less pretty one take the seat!”
After that, both women stood up for the rest of the journey.
And now we have a heartline from Baýram in Turkmenistan:
Greetings to You, Supreme Master Ching Hai! Let me draw Your invaluable attention to my humble letter, out of the possible huge number of similar letters You receive.
I hope for Your attention and answer. I am waiting for a word of support and possible approval from You on my initiation.
My story is simple: I am retired, the father of five children, the youngest of whom is eight years old. Praise be to the Creator – everyone is alive and well! So, as I understand it now, under the pressure of knowledge entering my consciousness, I received freedom in its full understanding, became a Christian, have lived to 50 years in good health and good spirits – Praise be to the Creator! Meditation and learning are my next step.
I know from psychology — it is impossible to change others / all people, to direct all humankind on the right path.
The human race is pitiful. As I understand it, most of the people, which I am, are deprived of true information about their appearance on this planet, about the purpose of life and its meaning. Therefore, I have a lot of work to do on myself on the path of self-perfection and veganism is the least of the tasks.
This is my second endeavor to address You. In the hope of receiving approval for my initiation, I am aware that “whatever we want, the Will of God will be fulfilled.”
And, since our country – Turkmenistan, has provided Your channel with the opportunity to broadcast Your programs through its Yahsat satellite, this fact cannot be ignored by me, being of great significance and importance — which especially attracted my attention. It is not accidental.
Let me express my gratitude to You, Supreme Master, for Your colossal work. Baýram from Turkmenistan
Empowered Baýram, Thank you for your heartline. We are extremely pleased that Supreme Master Television is broadcasted in Turkmenistan. Praise the Divine.
Master has this encouraging reply for you: “Hope-filled Baýram, it is deeply saddening that we cannot, with ease, have so many initiation ceremonies at this time. But that does not mean that I am not able to welcome and support your every step along your noble path. You are a child of God. God is within you, as is your inner Master. If possible, continuously have Supreme Master Television on, in your room or elsewhere in your home, and this will help you, your loved ones, and all in the environment around you. Place your focus on spiritual practice, being vegan, and helping others. With my Love always, may you and the optimistic people of Turkmenistan be blessed by the highest Heavens with understanding and compassion. By God’s Grace, we will try to arrange, and let you know.”
