How To Use Baking Soda For Gorgeous Face And Skin



Skin problems are quite easily treated by the simple, yet powerful natural remedy- baking soda!
This remedy is one of the best exfoliates and takes good care of the top skin layer, by removing all toxins and dead skin cells and regenerating the skin. Also, it does not cause any irritation and acts mildly onto the skin.
It has been used for many years as the perfect home remedy for treating rashes, skin ailments and performing peelings. This article will explain several different ways in which backing soda can help you skin grow healthier and better.
  1. Baking Soda and Water
This mix is particularly good for cleansing your skin and removing dead skin tissue and keeping your skin safe at the same time.
For this purpose, mix baking soda and warm and create a paste.
Wash face with warm water and then apply paste on face by using round movements. Shortly after, rinse face with lukewarm water and dry off well.
You can also mix baking soda with ground oats. Combine equal parts of water, baking soda and ground oats and us fingers to circularly apply on face. This mix is great for both exfoliating and removing dark skin circles. Avoid eye contact when using the treatments.
After you are done, you should wash it off with warm water and, your skin will instantly become clear and fresh.
  1. Baking Soda and Lemon
This remedy serves as a natural skin disinfector and removes age spots and evens out the skin complexion. Combine 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 2 tablespoons of granulated brown sugar in a cup. Add lemon juice to ¼ of the cup.
Mix well and after washing your face, apply on minimally wet skin. Let remedy act for 10 minutes and wash with lukewarm water afterwards.
  1. Baking Soda and Coconut Oil
Coconut oil can work miracles for your skin and give it the needed moisture and hydration.
It is good for preventing inflammation as well. Combine equal amounts of baking soda and coconut oil.
In case your skin is delicate, increase the amount of coconut oil. Apply formed paste directly onto skin. Keep on for a few minutes and then remove with lukewarm water wash.

The Many Health Benefits of Raw Honey

Raw honey - Dr. Axe
According to Dr. Ron Fessenden, M.D., M.P.H. the average American consumes more than 150 pounds of refined sugar, plus an additional 62 pounds of high fructose corn syrup every year. (1In comparison, we consume only around 1.3 pounds of honey per year on average in the U.S. (2) According to new research, if you can switch out your intake of refined sugar and use pure raw honey instead, the health benefits can be enormous.
What is raw honey? It’s a pure, unfiltered and unpasteurized sweetener made by bees from the nectar of flowers. Most of the honey consumed today is processed honey that’s been heated and filtered since it was gathered from the hive. Unlike processed honey, raw honey does not get robbed of its incredible nutritional value and health powers. It can help with everything from low energy to sleep problems to seasonal allergies. Switching to raw honey may even help weight-loss efforts when compared to diets containing sugar or high fructose corn syrup. I’m excited to tell you more about one of my all-time favorite natural sweeteners today.

8 Health Benefits of Raw Honey

1. Healthy Weight Management
Research studies have linked honey consumption with weight loss. A San Diego State University study found that replacing sugar with honey can actually help prevent packing on extra pounds and also lower blood sugar. The results also suggest that in comparison to sugar, honey may lower serum triglycerides. (3
Another study from the University of Wyoming found that raw honey can activate hormones that suppress the appetite. In the double-blind randomly assigned study, appetite hormones and glycemic responses were measured in 14 healthy non-obese women after consuming a breakfast containing either honey or sugar. Overall, researchers concluded that honey consumption offers potential obesity protective effects. (4)
2. Counters Pollen Allergies
Raw honey contains bee pollen, which is known to ward off infections, provide natural allergy relief and boost overall immunity. Honey’s ability to prevent allergies is based on a concept called immunotherapy. How so? The bees in your neighborhood go from flower to flower collecting pollen that causes you to suffer, but when a you consume local raw honey, you also consume that same offending local pollen. After some time, an allergy sufferer may become less sensitive to this pollen that previously caused problems and experience less seasonal allergy symptoms. Many seasonal allergy sufferers have found local, raw honey to be helpful because it desensitizes them to the fauna triggering their allergic reaction.
A 2013 study found that eating honey at a high dose (one gram per kilogram of body weight of honey daily) can improve allergy symptoms over a period of eight weeks. Researchers absorbed that the honey consumption improved overall and individual symptoms of allergic rhinitis. (5) Allergic rhinitis is an allergic response that causes itchy, watery eyes, sneezing and other similar symptoms.
Some people say that a daily tablespoon of honey can actually act like an allergy shot. The type of honey is key though since pasteurized honey does not contain any pollen. For possible seasonal allergy relief, you need to consume raw honey with pollen in it.
3. Natural Energy Source
Raw honey contains natural sugars (80 percent), water (18 percent), and minerals, vitamins, pollen and protein (2 percent). It’s not surprising that honey has been called “the perfect running fuel.” It provides an easily absorbed supply of energy in the form of liver glycogen, making it ideal for energetic morning starts and as a pre- and post-exercise energy source. 
Studies at the University of Memphis Exercise and Sports Nutrition Laboratory have shown honey to be one of the best choices of carbohydrate to consume right before exercising. Additionally, studies have revealed that as a sporting fuel, honey performs on a par with glucose, which is the sugar used in most commercial energy gels. (6)
When it comes to raw honey’s use in athletic endeavors, I highly recommend raw honey for both fueling and recovery. That’s why raw honey is included in some of the best pre-workout snacks and post-workout meals.
4. Antioxidant Powerhouse
Studies have shown that a daily dose of raw honey raises levels of health-promoting antioxidants in the body. Antioxidants help block free radicals in the body that cause disease. It also boosts the immune system, acting as a preventative against any number of debilitating diseases. Honey contains polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants that have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.
One study fed 25 subjects about four tablespoons of honey per day for 29 days in addition to their regular diets. When blood samples were taken at the start and end of the study, researchers found a clear, direct link between honey consumption and an increased level of disease-fighting polyphenols in the blood. (7)
Studies have shown that honey contains the disease-fighting antioxidant flavonoids pinocembrin, pinostrobin and chrysin. (8) Pinocembrin supports enzyme activity, and many studies have shown that pinocembrin induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) of many types of cancer cells. (9) Laboratory research suggests that chrysin may increase the male hormone testosterone and improve bodybuilding results, but human research hasn’t found any effect on testosterone levels. (10)
Raw honey vs. commercial honey - Dr. Axe
5. Sleep Promoter
Raw honey promotes restorative sleep in two ways. By consuming honey before bedtime, it restocks the liver’s glycogen supply and prevents the brain from triggering a crisis search for fuel, which can wake you up. Secondly, eating raw honey fosters the release of melatonin in the brain by creating a small spike in insulin levels, which stimulates the release of tryptophan in the brain. Tryptophan converts to serotonin, which is then converted to melatonin. (11)
Melatonin also boosts immunity and helps rebuild tissue during periods of rest. Poor sleep, by comparison, has been shown to be a risk factor for hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke and arthritis. As honey is a proven natural sleep aid, it naturally lowers the risk of all these health problems.
6. Wound and Ulcer Healer
Honey-infused bandages are known to aid healing. Peter Charles Molan at the University of Waikato, New Zealand, has found in multiple studies that honey is a natural antibacterial with wound-healing effects. He also found that honey reacts with the body’s fluids to make hydrogen peroxide, creating an inhospitable environment for bacteria. (12)
For the treatment of burns and wounds, honey is typically applied directly to the problem area or in a dressing that’s changed every 24 to 48 hours. Sometimes the dressing is left in place for up to 25 days. (13) A combination of honey and ghee has also been advocated and used as dressing for infected wounds since 1991 in four Mumbai hospitals. (14)
Honey has been studied for its use in effectively treating various types of ulcers as well. Honey may reduce the size, pain and odor of problematic skin ulcers. (15)
7. Diabetes Aid
Consumption of raw honey can reduce the risk of developing diabetes and help aid medication used to treat diabetes. The combination of raw honey and cinnamon can be especially beneficial to healthy blood sugar management, as well as many other health concerns like gingivitis and acne.
According to a study out of Dubai, honey has been observed to cause a lower elevation of plasma glucose levels in diabetics compared to dextrose and sucrose. Some suggest that the insulin-boosting power of cinnamon can counteract this glucose elevation in honey, which would make your honey and cinnamon mixture a low glycemic index food combination. (16)
Raw honey increases insulin and decreases hyperglycemia. Try consuming a little at a time and see how your blood sugar reacts to it, and add both raw honey and cinnamon to your diabetic diet plan.
8. Natural Cough Syrup
Raw honey has been shown to be as effective in treating coughs as over-the-counter commercial cough syrups. Increasing scientific evidence shows that a single dose of honey can reduce mucus secretion and coughs. In one study, honey was just as effective as diphenhydramine and dextromethorphan, common ingredients found in over-the counter cough medicines. (17)
For a cough, a half teaspoon to two teaspoons of honey at bedtime is a studied and recommended dosage for anyone over the age of one.

How to Find and Use Raw Honey

Looking at honey consumption, 50 percent of the population directly purchases honey, 35 percent never eats honey, and the remaining 15 percent consumes honey in products made with honey, like honey-roasted peanuts. (18) Raw honey might be available at your nearest grocery store, but it should be available at your local health food store or, even better, your local beekeeper. It’s also available online.
Expect raw honey to be opaque rather than that sparkling, clear, golden color that’s achieved through heating.
Never cook with raw honey because that will destroy its good properties. Also, do not store it near a heat source. If you enjoy honey in your tea or coffee, wait until the drink is just tepid enough to sip comfortably, and then add honey to taste.
Drizzle it on breakfast cereals, over your sprouted grain toast or on yogurt. It’s also a great addition to smoothies and salad dressings. Raw honey can be a healthy alternative to highly processed sugar in recipes that doesn’t require heat. For every one tablespoon of sugar in a recipe (that doesn’t require heating), you can typically use two teaspoons of honey instead.

Honey Comparisons

Raw Honey vs. Not Raw
Raw honey is a crude form of honey immediately taken out of the cells of the honey combs within a bee hive. This form of honey is far from pure. It commonly contains bee pollen and propolis, which are both two very positive health additions. However, raw honey can also possibly contain dead bees, legs, wings, hunks of beeswax and other impurities. Don’t worry though — if any of these unwanted items get into the honey they’re strained out before bottling.
Raw honey cannot be heated above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the normal temperature of the bee hive. While it’s OK to strain raw honey, it’s never filtered or pasteurized. It also cannot have any other additives.
On the other hand, commercial honey is often heavily processed and may even have been chemically refined. Excessive heat destroys the natural enzymes, vitamins and minerals in honey. Filtering and processing eliminate many of the beneficial phytonutrients, including pollen and enzyme-rich propolis. The only way to achieve sparkling clear honey is by heat, so avoid the golden, syrup-like honey in favor of opaque, organic raw honey.
Non-raw honey or regular commercial honey can be sourced from bees that are treated with antibiotics (such as ciprofloxacin in China’s honey). They also may likely be given winter nourishment in the form of sugar or a low-cost syrup. Hives are made of non-organic materials, which can have pests and be cleaned with non-organic substances. Honey that isn’t raw is pasteurized and filtered, and it can have additives. (19)
Research by the Palynology Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University tested 60 honey products from supermarkets and grocery stores and found that 76 percent contained no trace of bee pollen, which is also loaded with health benefits. The Food and Drug Administration maintains that any honey products that have been ultra-filtered, as these have, are not actually honey and therefore the health benefits of honey cannot be assumed. Some “honey” may even contain high fructose corn syrup.
Organic Honey vs. Not Organic
Organic honey usually means raw organic honey. Just like with raw honey, heating is not allowed above 95 degrees F. In order to be called organic, honey must follow good organic management, according to each country’s set of standards and conditions. Processing should also only be done by means of gravitational settling and straining.
Manuka vs. Other Varieties
“Conductivity” is an indirect way of measuring the mineral content of a honey. Manuka honey has a higher than normal conductivity with about four times the conductivity of normal flower honeys. The higher the conductivity, the better the nutritional value of the honey.
When it comes to Manuka honey versus other varieties, Manuka always has a unique Manuka factor (UMF), which is a global standard in identifying and measuring the antibacterial strength of Manuka. Essentially, the UMF is a guarantee that the honey being sold is of a medicinal quality. This is a standard of health value completely unique to Manuka honey.
The minimum UMF rating recognized is UMF5 — however, it’s not considered beneficial unless it carries a UMF10+ level of antibacterial activity in the honey. Anything ranging from UMF10—UMF15 is a useful level, and anything UMF16 and up is considered a superior quality. While other honeys, like organic raw honey, can certainly have hugely positive health effects, they don’t have this exact measurement or rating like Manuka.

Raw Honey Nutrition Facts 

Honey is one of nature’s purest foods and is far more than just a natural sweetener. It’s a “functional food,” which means it’s a natural food with health benefits. Raw honey nutrition is impressive. Raw honey contains 22 amino acids, 27 minerals and 5,000 enzymes. Minerals include ironzincpotassiumcalciumphosphorousmagnesium and selenium. Vitamins found in honey include vitamin B6, thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid and niacin. In addition, the nutraceuticals contained in honey help neutralize damaging free radical activity.
One tablespoon of honey contains 64 calories, yet it has a healthy glycemic load around 10 for one tablespoon, which is a little less than a banana. Raw honey does not cause a sugar spike and elevated insulin release like white sugar.
Although honey is an affordable food, bees spend thousands of hours collecting pollen from around 2 million flowers to make one pound of pure honey. Honey is typically about 18 percent water, but the lower the water content, the better the quality of honey. Best of all, honey does not need special storage or refrigeration — use it by the spoonful straight from the jar.

Raw Honey History and Interesting Facts 

  • Throughout history honey has been an important food. God used honey to motivate the Israelite people when He told them to, “Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey.” (Exodus 33:3)
  • Raw honey has been used as medicine since ancient times.
  • For centuries, honey was considered sacred due to its wonderfully sweet properties as well as its rarity. It was used in religious ceremonies and to embalm the deceased.
  • Apiculture, or the practice of beekeeping to produce honey, dates back to at least 700 B.C.
  • Honey was used by runners in the Olympic Games in ancient Greece as an energy source.
  • The health benefits of honey depend on the quality of a specific honey.
  • Raw honey contains small amounts of the same resins found in propolis as well as bee pollen.
  • When raw honey is overly processed and heated, the health benefits are largely eliminated.

Raw Honey Possible Allergies and Potential Side Effects

Honey is considered safe when taken by mouth in normal food amounts or recommended dosages. However, honey should never be given to children under 12 months of age since raw honey is a potential source of botulism spores. Raw honey is not a danger to older children or adults, just to infants. However, if you have a compromised immune system or are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments for cancer, you should speak with your doctor before consuming raw honey.
If you’re allergic or sensitive to celery, pollen or have other bee-related allergies, you should not consume raw honey. Honey made from plants in the Rhododendrongenus can also cause allergic reactions due to toxicity. (20)
Proverbs 25:16 says, “Do you like honey? Don’t eat too much, or it will make you sick!” Although honey is one of the healthiest sweeteners, it still should certainly be used in moderation. Mild honey intoxication side effects can include weakness, dizziness, vomiting, sweating and nausea. Other more serious side effects of honey consumption are unlikely unless you consume way too much.

Raw Honey Final Thoughts

  • Raw honey is the most crude and natural form of honey you can purchase.
  • It’s unfiltered and unpasteurized, which means there is no processing or heating to decrease its natural vitamin and mineral content.
  • Raw honey contains disease-preventing and disease-fighting flavonoids.
  • Raw honey contains both propolis and bee pollen so you get the benefits of those two natural powerhouses as well.
  • It has been scientifically proven to help with allergies, diabetes, sleep problems, coughs and wound healing.
  • Raw honey is a smart part of a pre- and post-workout snack for better energy during a workout and better recovery afterward.
  • Look for a local beekeeper to source your raw honey. This will make it even more likely to help with seasonal allergies.

5 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO AFTER EATING!


Right after a great meal, most of the people are having their rituals. And the figure that visit their bed is the biggest.


The smallest number is to the people who do healthy things after great meal.
In addition to this post we are going to present you 5 things that you shall never do right after you eat.
  1. Sleep
You need to stop sleeping right after you eat. This is going to make your stomach burn in the night. This will cause discomfort like bloating, and seeping patterns. It is proven that people who sleep right after they eat, are most prone to have stroke.
You shall not eat several hours before you go to sleep.
  1. Smoke
Some people can’t say bye to smoking, so this is for them. In case you want to smoke, you can wait couple of hours before you light a cigarette.  This is because the nicotine in cigarettes binds to the excess oxygen that is necessary in digestion, which then allows your body to absorb more carcinogens than normal. According to studies, smoking right after a meal is the same as smoking ten cigarettes at once. It also increases the risk of bowel and lung cancer.
  1. Shower
In case you shower right eating, you will increase the blood flow so it will reach your hands and legs, which will weaken your digestive system.
  1. Eat fruit
You probably thought you could eat fruit at any time, didn’t you? Well, it’s actually best to eat fruit on an empty stomach. This is because fruits require different enzymes to digest, and the simple sugars in fruit need time to be absorbed completely by the body. With nothing else in your belly, you benefit from all the nutrients, fiber, and simple sugars. If you wait until close to or after a meal, however, fruit remains in the stomach for an extended period and rots in the gut. This can cause indigestion, heartburn, burping, and other discomforts.
  1. Drink tea
Your tea right after the eating is very bad idea. You need to know that your tea will be drank several hours after the eating.
In case you drink you will have 87% decrease in iron absorption.
Low iron quantities will cause fatigue, weakness, pale skin, chest pain and etc.
Next time when you at, right after you are done, you need to try to avoid this things.

Could nutrition improve mental health better than prescription drugs?

“Depression” is a word that we throw around a lot and many people may not realize the weight it carries, especially in today’s world. The kind of depression that people many times use out of context may describe the normal ups-and-downs and the fleeting emotions of everyday life.

What is it?

Depression – the kind that completely debilitates you, feels unending, is deeply lonely, and seems void of life – is a serious health condition, and is now the world’s leading cause of disability.
In fact, 350 million people around the world suffer from depression. That number is higher than the most recent recorded population of the United States. This common mental disorder affects people of all ages, however, there are more women than men with depression.[1]

Causes

Our brains are complex structures and the pathology of depression isn’t one-size-fits-all. According to Harvard Medical School current research suggests that the cause of depression isn’t just a matter of having too much or too little of certain brain chemicals or neurotransmitters, otherwise called a “chemical imbalance”.
Depression is a multifaceted disease that has many possible causes. For example, a combination of any of the following could lead to depression [2]:
  • impaired mood regulation by the brain
  • family history and genetics
  • traumatic and/or stressful life events
  • current medications
  • co-occurring medical problems

Symptoms

Simply because someone feels blue from time to time, does not mean we should dismiss what they’re experiencing. Oftentimes, depression may begin by a seemingly harmless bad day. However, people who are diagnosed with depression usually:[3]
  • Feel depressed for at least two weeks accompanied by lack of sleep, general disinterest in pleasurable things, guilt, low energy, inability to concentrate, increase or decrease in appetite, poor psychomotor skills, and/or suicidal thoughts;
  • Experience major depressive and manic episodes;
  • Become impaired in social contexts such as work, school, family functions, etc.;
  • Feel this way without the physiological alteration of substances (e.g., drugs or medications); and
  • Come from a deep, seemingly sourceless place (i.e., not bereavement).
How to spot signs of depression: 
One set of diagnostic criteria commonly used to assess depression is known as “SIGECAPS,” which stands for sleep, interest, guilt, energy, concentration, appetite, psychomotor and suicide.
If four or more of these items are a concern, it indicates major depression.

Prescription Drugs and Depression

antidepressants
Doctors, psychiatrists, and psychologists first started using depression medication in the late 1950s and have since categorized them into three groups:
  1. Tricyclic agents (TCAs) are used to treat depression, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and chronic pain.
  2. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are used to treat depression, panic disorder, compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, and social phobia.
  3. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are used to treat all types of depression.
On the surface, it seems like drug companies have a handle on things and provide victims of depression with more than enough options in terms of medication. But even when medications do seem to work, they may not be working by addressing the root issues and at best are just a band-aid approach to recovery.
Associate Director of the Placebo Research Program at Harvard, Dr. Irving Kirsch’s research suggests that “the published data and the unpublished data that were hidden by drug companies reveal that most (if not all) of the benefits are due to the placebo effect.”[4]
This is deeply saddening, especially when you consider that seventeen million Americans take antidepressant drugs at a total cost of $11.3 billion.[5]
In his study “Newer v. older antidepressants in long-term pharmacotherapy,” psychiatrist J. Guy Edwards expresses disappointment “that after fifty years of research we still do not have a wonder drug to prevent (or treat) depression” and that those they do have are full of “troublesome and dangerous side-effects; and there are no clinically significant signs of a more effective and safer antidepressant.”[6]
Between the placebo studies and a lifelong psychiatrist’s acknowledgment that a truly and wholly effective antidepressant does not exist, many people want (and arguably need) a new solution – a natural solution.

Nutrition and Depression

Disclaimer: Please consult a physician before beginning any treatment program or making any adjustment to your health care, diet, and/or lifestyle. Do not remove yourself from any prescribed medications or treatments without consulting your doctor. Any and all dietary supplements or nutritional products and treatments discussed on this site are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any disease. The information contained in this site is for general information and for educational purposes only.
Fortunately, educator and clinical psychologist Julia Rucklidge has dedicated the last decade-plus to investigating the role of micronutrients in the expression of mental illness, specifically in ADHD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and more.
In her 2014 TEDx talk “The Surprisingly Dramatic Role of Nutrition in Mental Health,”[7] Rucklidge called our attention to the fact that due to the nature of our current health care system, the first thing doctors will try to remedy our problems with are psychiatric medication(s). Her research suggests that vitamins and minerals, otherwise known as micronutrients, are beneficial in treating mental illness, which isn’t surprising considering the food we eat on a daily basis helps to build the neurotransmitters our bodies need to support mental health.
In an early study, Rucklidge led a randomized clinical trial that started in 2009 and used micronutrients to treat ADHD in adults. Rucklidge and her team found that within eight weeks, twice as many people responded to the micronutrients than to the placebo. People in the micronutrient group had their depression go into remission. They also experienced lower levels of hyperactivity and aggression. She also confirmed that after one year, individuals who continued using micronutrients maintained their changes or improved even further.
In another study, [8] Rucklidge observed how micronutrients reduced anxiety and stress, and improved mood after a natural disaster. She and her team found that the micronutrients helped in all those areas “much” to “very much” in just over a month.
Of course, Rucklidge still sees the value in prescription drugs in the context of our current medical model. She admits that many treatments save lives but often fail to work in the long-run. We can see this idea echoed in our current reality – that even while drug companies purport to help people with their antidepressants, there are more depressed individuals on this planet than there have ever been.

10 Nutrients Crucial for Your Brain

  1. Complex carbohydrates (for brain power)
  2. Proteins (for healthy neurotransmitters)
  3. Healthy fats (like avocados, nuts, seeds, and coconut oil)
  4. B Vitamins (to remain stress-free and happy)
  5. Vitamin C (to boost mood, memory, intelligence, and brain function)
  6. Vitamin D (for memory, mood, and the fight against cognitive decline)
  7. Magnesium (for focus, concentration, improved mood, and good sleep)
  8. Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids (helps ward off memory loss, mood swings, dementia, and more)
  9. Iron (for improved metabolism)
  10. Zinc (for proper immune and digestive functioning)
Nutritional deficiencies occur when your body is not absorbing the necessary amount of nutrient. Failing to give your body the proper nutrients it needs can result in short and long-term problems (e.g., digestive problems, skin problems, bone growth complications, and potentially dementia).[9,10]

Conclusion

Although people may question the legitimacy of micronutrients and other natural remedies, evidence shows us that drug companies may not have anything better to offer. Prescription drugs only offer temporary fixes and do not address the root cause, whereas micronutrients seem to be pointing us in the right direction for a more complete solution to mental health support.
So, if you or someone you know is treating depression or other mental health disorders, Rucklidge says “it is worth giving it a go first to seriously change diet and if necessary, try a broad-spectrum micronutrient supplement, and if that approach doesn’t work, then there is always medication to fall back on.”[11]
And in whatever you choose to do, know this: you are loved.
