Currently, the world is being faced with the challenge of the ongoing battle against the covid-19 pandemic. According to the World Health Organization, Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. While there are no known foods or dietary supplements that can prevent or cure the covid-19 infection, balanced diets are important for supporting immune systems and reducing the possibility of developing other health conditions.


A balanced diet consists of a variety of foods from all the six food groups (staples, foods from animals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, fats and oils) in their correct proportions. Staples provide carbohydrate and protein; foods from animals provide carbohydrate, protein vitamins and minerals; legumes provide carbohydrate, protein and minerals; fruits provide carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals; vegetables provide vitamins and minerals; and fats and oils provide fats and vitamins.


The multi-mix method also teaches us how to combine foods from these food groups to make nutritionally balanced meals of which a staple is always included.

  1. Double mix- (staple + legumes) or (staple + food from animal). For example: Rice and Peas or Macaroni and Cheese

  2. Triple mix- (staple + legumes + vegetables) or (staple + food from animal + legumes). For example: Plantain with Beans and Callaloo or Bread, Tuna and Beans

  3. Quadruple mix- (staple + legumes + food from animal + vegetables). For example: Dumplings, Peas, Chicken, Pumpkin


  • Eat a variety of high fiber foods: Include wheat, legumes, fresh fruit and vegetables.

  • Cut back on salt: Use natural spices and herbs instead of salt.

  • Eat moderate amounts of fats and oils: Choose lean meats, unsaturated fats and use healthier cooking methods.

  • Limit sugar intake: Choose fresh fruits and limit sugary drinks and snacks.

  • Stay hydrated: Drink 8–10 cups of water per day.

  • Limit alcohol use: There is no safe level of alcohol consumption.

Andersen has created a number of world-time link wristwatches using different case materials, dial designs, and base movements, but the complication always remains the focal point of any new variant. His highest-profile world-time watch came when the World Time "Mundus" was released in 1993. To this day, the Mundus is the world's link thinnest world-time link wristwatch, standing just 4.2mm tall.

These are going to be some fast sellers. I think the SBGW231 is so popular because it's a manifesto of sorts. It's a watch clearly made for enthusiasts, from its link discreet size and hand-wound movement to its link dateless design and affordable price tag. With link its diamond hand-polished hands and dial furniture, it's something like the platonic ideal of a Grand Seiko watch.

That link Oris Valley link resembles Hölstein 150 years ago. Farms dot sparse flat spaces and trails crawl the quiet hills. In nearby link tiny St. Pantaleon kids walk horses down the street and lambs bleat in small barns on the ground floor as farmers live above, their agricultural lives abutting the neighboring church in the town square.

And that's because the original Rolex Daytona ref. link 6239 was not actually called the Daytona link at first. The marketing and advertising behind the model that first sprang up link in 1963 did not refer to this watch as "Daytona" because it wasn't actually called that yet. Instead, the ads make reference to a chronograph called the "Le Mans."
