Refrigerator’s Air Circulation and Humidity

The refrigerator relies on forced air to transfer heat. Fans inside the appliance move air around. The faster the air flows, the more quickly the heat is removed. For this reason, you don’t want to do anything to block the airflow. There are three basic types of forced-air systems in refrigerators. In ceiling-type refrigeration,
a single fan is mounted on the ceiling of the appliance. This is adequate for small-volume interiors but is not used in larger refrigerators. Because it only has a single location, it might allow for hot spots in the corners of the interior cabinet. In back-wall or mullion-type refrigeration, the airflow system takes in air above the top shelf and discharges it below the bottom shelf.

The duct-type refrigeration system is a combination of the first two types. Here, the forced-air unit is located at or above ceiling level, and the air is circulated through a series of small air ducts vented to various spots on the back wall of the cabinet. Just how important is air circulation? Well, the difference between safe and unsafe raw foods can be as little as five to seven degrees Fahrenheit. Seafood, poultry, or red meats will spoil within 18 to 24 hours if their refrigerated temperature rises above 42 to 45 degrees
Fahrenheit, and you already know the HACCP guideline of temperatures no higher than 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Would you rather risk a lawsuit and the resulting negative publicity from food-poisoning allegations, or keep your refrigerator air circulating properly?

These harmful metals are all around us and sometimes more so around our pets. They can be found in municipal water supplies, our soil, natural water sources, our food supply, as well as in sewage sludge, fungicides, pesticides, everyday products, including cosmetics, fabric softeners, batteries, inks, latex, paints, plastics, solvents, and wood preservatives. I mention all of these items because your dog doesn’t know this and thinks nothing of drinking contaminated water, chewing on batteries, plastic bottles or laying in the yard after the exterminator left completing his monthly spraying. Your dog is at further risk then yourself due to their relatively small size compared to humans making them more vulnerable to smaller amounts of these toxins.

3 Tips For Curing Diarrhea

The secret to curing diarrhea lies in recognizing the underlying cause.

Probably 95% of the time diarrhea is due to an intestinal virus. There is no medicinal cure, as such, for an intestinal virus. Your body will clear the infection on its own, given enough time – usually a few to several days.

For garden-variety viral diarrhea, what most people want is simply something to stop the diarrhea. Technically speaking, that’s not a cure. But what’s the difference if you feel better?

So, tip #1, to slow down diarrhea, for the most reliable results, use over-the-counter loperamide (Imodium). This medication was by prescription just a few years ago (and higher dosage still remains by prescription). When your immune system kicks in and rids your body of the infection, you can stop taking the medication.

Double Dead Meat – Food To Avoid In The Philippines

Double dead meat, aka hot meat, is a Filipino term designating meat or poultry sold in markets, which have already died from disease before having been cut up. The term botcha is also used interchangeably with double dead meat. The term is said to originate from two Chinese words bot and cha, which means “do not eat”.

The source of hot meat that has been circulating the country is still uncertain. However, past accounts of smuggling from China would tell us that the issue is not something new anymore. It must be recalled that, among others, a shipment of double dead meat from China was stored at the Customs warehouse and found its way to a meat processing company in Pampanga. In any event, the issue of the proliferation of double dead meat in various markets all over the Philippines has been plaguing the country just recently, especially since majority of the Filipinos are meat lovers.

The distinguishing characteristics of meat being double dead are: foul smell, pale color with greenish-gray or bluish hue, dark hide, hair remain stuck to the meat’s fat albeit having been dipped in boiling water, sticky and slippery. To be sure, the buyer should avoid buying frozen meat kept in boxes and those that are sold in unusually low prices.
