Barley was first cultivated in the near east and was the staple cereal of the Egyptians in the ancient times. Barley is a very good source of fiber, selenium, phosphorus, copper, and manganese.

Flax was introduced in Canada in the 17th century; and now, it is the... (posted by Praveen 1 year 161 days ago.)

Your Hair Speaks Volumes About You!
Your hair reflects much about your origins, your socio-economic status, and your health. For example, most Indians from the north or east have thinner, softer, and scantier hair as compared to those from the south or west, who tend to have thicker, coarser, and denser hair. It is very easy to distinguish between a well-styled haircut and a simple haircut. This by itself becomes a status symbol and the branding of a... (posted by Praveen 1 year 235 days ago.)
