Tips to help you protect your identity (in a festival)

Apple Festival / By / July 22, 2021

Do you plan on attending a music festival this summer? If so, make sure to read these tips for protecting your identity. Music festivals are great places for celebration and fun, but they can also be dangerous. This is especially true if you plan on drinking alcohol or taking drugs at the festival. You must take steps to protect yourself from physical and digital threats while at the event and after it’s over.  Some helpful things to do before going into the event include:

Keep your phone in a Ziplock bag or case to protect it from water and dirt.

Keep your phone safe from water and dirt by storing it in a Ziplock bag or case. The bags will keep the device dry, clean off any fingerprints, protect against scratches and dust particles that often come outside! Bring a disposable phone so that you can still stay in touch if your primary device is lost or stolen.

Also, bring along a camera for taking pictures. You wouldn’t want to give a stranger your phone to take your picture only to have them run away with your phone. Your mobile device contains lots of your personal details. Suppose a thief runs away with your phone, they might use your personal details to perpetrate a crime. Even if not immediately, your personal details in the wrong hands may be dangerous in the future.

Also, ensure you patronize only legitimate businesses and companies to avoid exposing your credit cards to companies that can be easily hacked through cyberattacks exposing their customers to identity theft.

Always carry an ID, cash, and some form of photo identification with you at all times (wallet, money clip). Never leave it at home because many people will take advantage of this vulnerability to steal your identity. 

Research where you are going before you go. You should also know how to get back if you are lost.

Know where you’re going before you go and the way in, just in case! Stay alert when at a festival because many people will be there who might want to steal your identity or rob you. When booking flights or traveling abroad:  Always check whether the company has been hacked before deciding which one to use, so they don’t get hacked again while under your care.

Take pictures of all your belongings so you can remember what you have with you.

Always take pictures before and after you leave off any belongings or valuables. It’s a good idea to do this with all your items, not just festival-related!  You may want to consider keeping an eye on your drink at the event as well. If someone comes up to you for food or alcohol, make sure that what they give you doesn’t have anything on it.

Write down the serial number on all your electronics for insurance purposes.

Keep a list of all the serial numbers on your electronics, especially if you’re traveling to a festival with expensive and fragile items. You will be able to see which ones are missing when returning home! Be sure not to leave anything important in plain sight or unattended because it may get stolen or lost.

Remove any sensitive information from social media sites before going into the event so that no one can steal this data while there. Make sure to erase your info, such as an address, birth date, credit card number, etc., from devices like laptops/computers, tablets, or phones before disposing of them for good.

Don’t use debit cards at ATMs – only use them inside the festival grounds.

After the event, shred any receipts or papers that have your name on them; if you are taking money from an ATM at a festival, make sure that it is inside and not outside. Be careful about what you put in your wallet because someone may steal anything from there. If possible, when going home after the event, do something like burn all of those documents with personal information. Or better yet, forgo any paper as much as possible!

Use cash instead of credit cards to avoid fraud charges or identity theft Cash is always a safe option!

Make sure to be on the lookout for anything that looks sketchy or may harm you. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s better to leave and go somewhere else. If someone comes up with bad intentions, you’ll know in advance and will have time to withdraw yourself from danger.

Some things that are helpful when traveling abroad: Create an emergency contact list of people who live overseas and another within your own country – Keep hard copies (paper) instead of photos because they don’t require an internet connection.

Stay safe and have a blast! If you follow our tips, we can help make sure your identity is protected. Leave the stress of worrying about your identity to us while you enjoy yourself at the festival.

Ensuring Your Safety When You Attend the Jackson Apple Festival

Apple Festival / By / January 30, 2021

There is a lot of fun at the Jackson Apple Festival. There will be all kinds of people from those who genuinely came to have fun, those who came to find partners, to the pickpockets.

If you plan to attend the festival this year and years to come, you need to ensure you are safe at all times. For starters, you need to ensure your valuables are safe, your personal identification documents are safe, your money is safe, and you are safe. Observe the following steps to ensure your safety:

Bring Your Buddies

Festivals are more fun when you are with people you know around. The buddy system works when you are in large numbers. When partying in large numbers, you always have emergency contacts with you and you will never be stranded at the festival.

By having your buddies with you, they will keep eyes on you and you will keep your eyes on them. This way, no one loses your belongings, their identity, or even their organs.

If you do not get someone to accompany you to the Jackson Apple Festival this year, make friends immediately you get to the fest. The buddy system works even if you just met people – your new friends will still protect you.

When you get yourself a few friends, you protect your belongings and prevent identity theft and such other cases. Identity thieves rely on getting your personal identification documents and your bank account details to start using your identity. By having people keep an eye on you, pickpockets will never access your PI documents or your phone.

Avoid Alcohol and Drugs if you Haven’t Done Them Before

Alcohol, drugs, and music are common in festivals – almost like you can’t have one without the other. If you haven’t done alcohol and drugs before, the Jackson Apple Festival is not the place to start. If you really have to take alcohol, test your limits a few days before the festival. This way, you will know how much is enough so you never blackout in the streets.

When you are intoxicated, you are more vulnerable to pickpockets who might want to steal your identity or your valuables. Here, even the buddy system might fail when the whole clique is under the influence. 

Again, there might be undercover cops who are not there to have fun but to find people to arrest. You might end up in jail after having so much fun at the Jackson Apple Festival. Instead of being on the lookout for cops, it is better to avoid drugs altogether. However, if you happen to feel the weight of the pills, do not hesitate to visit the medical camp for help.

Stay Hydrated and Bring Meds

You need to recognize your body’s needs during the festival. Whether you are taking alcohol or just dancing to the music and munching on apples, you need to stay hydrated. There will be a lot of sweating at the fest, as is the case when people are crowded in one area. Always carry your water bottle to avoid heat-related health issues. If you take energy drinks, carry a few cans too.

Because you might be gone for a few days, ensure you carry any prescription pills you might have. Do not forget to carry the prescription or a doctor’s note lest the bouncers think you are dealing your pills for money.

Leave Your Valuables at Home

The Jackson Apple Festival is full of people who want to have fun but there are a few with ulterior motives. It is therefore safe for you to leave your valuables at home to avoid loss or theft. If you happen to bring your valuables, carry them in a fanny pack or ties the items to your body.

Because you are out there to have fun, the easiest way to do that is to ensure nothing limits that.  

Bring Cash and Avoid Identity Theft

You can avoid identity theft on nights you might be intoxicated by booking your hotel room early and paying before traveling. After that, you enjoy the benefits of not swiping your credit card everywhere you go. You never know when cybercriminals might be watching and you do not want to give them your credit card details on a platter.

When you feel intoxicated or you are in a crowded area, avoid swiping the credit card and instead pay cash – you never know who is watching.

Know Your Surroundings and Watch What Your Drink

Most times, staying safe at the music festival involves using common sense. Taking care of yourself and your belongings can be as simple as not giving out too much personal detail to strangers, not leaving your bags unattended, not leaving the fest with a stranger, and staying away from people who look suspicious.

The Jackson Apple Festival will be fun and chaos, and you can avoid being in trouble by keeping your eyes open for people and situations that might turn chaotic. Again, watch what you drink. Some people might slip drugs into your drink to take advantage of you. You can bring your drinks, drink straight from the bottle, cover your drink with your hands, and avoid buying drinks anywhere else but established booths.

In conclusion, you need to be vigilant.

Fruits vs. Supplements: Does One Negate the Importance of the Other?

Health / By / January 30, 2021

Should you munch on a fruit or a pill will cover everything?

Supplements are great, and even physicians prescribe them. However, supplements are not replacements for fruits. No matter the concentration of vitamins in a pill, fruits, and vegetables are always the best sources of vitamins.

But Americans love supplements. In 2018, CRN (Council for Responsible Nutrition) found out that at least 75 percent of U.S. citizens use dietary supplements [1], either physician-prescribed or self-prescribed. According to CRN, only 65 percent of the Americans took supplements in 2009 – the numbers are growing each year.

Vitamins and mineral supplements are the most common. Herbals and botanicals follow, especially turmeric follow. Most of the nutrients you get from pills and powders are available in their raw form in fruits.

Supplements vs. Fruits

The Dietary Guidelines 2015-2020 stipulate that you need to ingest whole foods to meet your primary nutritional needs. That means that all the nutrients you need should come from fruits and other whole foods. If there is a nutrient that you lack from the whole foods, you can take supplements. Before you self-prescribe a supplement, get information on what they do or don’t do for you.

Supplements are not supplements for food. They can replicate the nutrients in food, but they will still not give you all the benefits of whole foods such as juicy fruits. Few options will provide you with a range of nutrients to maintain health but most only give you a single nutrient. If, for instance, you need supplements for your keto diet, you need to be careful about the supplements you choose to meet your dietary needs. Even with organic supplements, whole foods will still offer three benefits over supplements:

  • More Nutrients – While foods will not only give you one nutrient but a range of nutrients to help you live healthily.
  • Get Fibers – Dietary fiber is only available in whole foods such as fruits. Fiber is important in preventing digestive system problems and might even prevent type 2 diabetes.
  • Source of antioxidants – Fruits, vegetables, and other whole foods are natural sources of antioxidants. These substances are important in slowing down the deterioration of cells and tissues. While you can get antioxidant supplements, there is no evidence that they offer the same benefits as those you get from foods.

Fruits have more benefits than supplements, but that is not to say that they can replace supplements. If you are on a keto diet, for instance, there are those supplements that will help you stay healthy. The ketologic supplements ensure that after massive loss of weight, your body still says healthy. You can take fruits and whole foods still but supplement that to keep healthy.

Who Should Take Supplements and When?

At what point do supplements become more important than whole foods?

If you are healthy and you eat a wide variety of foods such as fruits, vegetables, dairy products, legumes, whole grains, lean meat and fish, and many others, you do not need supplements.

Supplements come in handy for?

  • Pregnant women who need extra folic acid and iron every day
  • Adults aged 50 and above who need more vitamin B-12
  • Seniors above age 65 who need more vitamin D
  • Convalescents whose bodies may not digest whole foods
  • Babies not getting enough vitamins

You might also need supplements if:

  • You do not eat well
  • You are a vegan and only takes a limited variety of foods
  • Your diet has so many food restrictions
  • You do not get seafood servings to supply omega-3 to protect you from heart diseases
  • You are lactose intolerant and do not take milk
  • You experience heavy bleeding in your menstrual cycle every month
  • You have a medical condition that interferes with the absorption of some nutrients
  • You had surgery in your digestive tract that interferes with digestion and absorption of food

If you have any of the conditions above, you need to talk to your physician to finds out the best supplements for your condition and the right doses. You need to ask about any possible side effects and interactions of the dietary supplements. Even as you continue taking the supplements, you need to ensure you continue taking your whole foods as normal.

Conclusion

Getting the right supplement dose is as important as getting the right supplement. You need to ensure you talk to your primary care physician because supplements can cause harmful side effects and interactions. Always check the label to see the active ingredients in a supplement and check the serving size of each ingredient.

Always avoid megadoses as these might cause health problems and watch what you eat at all times. Before buying a supplement, check with the FDA that it is not under regulatory review or has been reported to have adverse side effects.

Since this is an activity that is renowned globally, there are some activities tailored to a specific location based on demand. Do you have some activities that you wish to participate in during the event?

The founders are open to opinion as long as your proposal has relevance in it, trust me it will be incorporated in their busy schedules.

Even the companies that you think have no importance in the event, to your surprise, they are part of it. That is how serious this event is.

Who should attend?

This is one event that is free to attend. Wait a minute; as much as it is free you need some “loose” money to purchase some of the unique stuff in the corporate tables. In case you are looking for a place where you want kitchen utensils you never see in the stores then this is the place to visit.

One of the long-term participants had this to say “The Apple Festival is the only place that you get to have a first-hand experience of some of the things that are yet to be launched. It’s like the first place where they get to test the market, and truly it has proven as the best marketing strategy”.

Anyone is eligible to attend. It’s not like the parental guidance TV shows where there is a restriction on the age that allows you to watch. Whether the young, the old, the invalids, the professionals, and the middle-income earners.

For active users, they do refer to it as an “equalizer event”. It brings both the rich and the poor on one platform.

The reasons why you should attend this event

You may wonder why all the fury about this event; it worth your time and money. Apart from just the entertainment part here are some of the reasons that it is branded a must-attend function.

Be a vivid follower of their social media platforms for updates and any other relevant information that you may need to be updated on what’s happening as far as the festival is concerned.

How should you attend?

Marketers admit that when you organize an event without any cost- not only cost but also with minimal restrictions- then it attracts a varied audience. What else do you need? Imagine organizing an event that no one attends. This is the market gap that the event enjoys. There is no dress code; as long as you have dressed modestly then you are free to walk in and out. Moreover, you can dress based on the climate.

Are Apples Good on Keto Diet?

About Fruits, Health / By / January 30, 2021

The energy that is used in the body is derived from the ketones produced in the liver after digestion. Keto diet is a replacement of this since it surpasses the process in which the ketone is derived from the carbohydrates. This diet is low in carbohydrate hence the ketone are produced directly after consumption. With this then you are sure of leaving normal life now that the required body energy is already produced. One of the Keto diets is PRUVIT KETO is readily available in the stores. All you need is to use it correctly to get maximum benefits. The other name is a low carb high-fat diet or simply a ketogenic diet. The name is derived from the ketones which are the by-product after digestion.

It is important to note that the diet lacks the glucose and insulin that is found a high carb diet. The energy is now derived from the excess fat that the diet has. The question now comes on how you can get the energy. The energy is got from the excess fat which instead of causing obesity, it is now used to replace the energy provision from the carbohydrates – which is missing.
