-Our thumb is for the fat portions.<span>

Hands are wonderful useful tools that can be used to estimate serving sizes. There are certain tools that can be used in place of hands but you can always use your hand for estimating serving sizes instead of using other tools.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Our hands are always with us, we carry them around and most importantly, our hands are scaled to our sizes. Hands are consistent unit of measurement and we can use them anywhere, any time.

Although the use of hands in estimating serving size may not be accurate sometimes, we can still get a measurement that will be close to using normal kitchen scale.

Examples of serving sizes include:

  • Our fist is one cup
  • The meaty part of individual thumb is 1 ounce
  • Our thumb, excluding the meaty part is one table spoon
  • The tip of the first finger also called index finger is 1 teaspoon.
  • The middle part of the index finger is 1 inch
  • Our cupped hand is 1 -2 ounce foods such as nuts
  • The palm of our hand is 3 ounces of fish.

These analyses represent a rough estimate but its accuracy will be determined by the size of individual hand.  You can as well use a kitchen scale to determine serving sizes.

The nail plate is immediately viewable with the naked eye, and covers the nail bed, which is the region where the nail sticks to the finger. Over this section is the lunula, the white half moon shapes at the base of the nail . The nail matrix  is the region directly before the lunula the germinal matrix below the lunula and closest to the knuckle where most of the nail  production occurs.  The periosteum, are structures surrounding nail plateswhile  the cuticle is a region of skin which protects the nail matrix where nails grow out of the finger.

I am 21 my blood pressure is 106 over 64. is this normal?
Schach [20]
For a long time, the standard for "normal" blood pressure was 120/80.  The current thinking is that a more healthy pressure is actually 110/70.  106/64 is a little lower than the norm but may be totally normal for you. If you become dehydrated it can lower your blood pressure and if your blood pressure goes too low it can cause feeling faint or passing out.  If it's never been an issue and your MD doesn't have a problem I wouldn't worry.
