There could be someone who doesn't behave well with you, despite your good behavior towards them.
There could be someone who always criticize you.
There could be someone who think themselves great and underestimate you.
There could be someone who is jealous of you and show their jealous by yelling at you.
Then it's their problem.
With people who do things that are incorrect, your attitude should be that of ignoring them. Then your action can be one of correctness. But if you are emotionally upset, then your mind starts thinking of ideas to teach them a lesson. Your behaviour indicates that you want them to change because it's inconvenient for you.
When you want to teach them a lesson, it never happens because you are doing it with anger. The one who has true compassion can teach people a real lesson. One who says, 'Look my dear, what you are doing is not good for you.' Then they will listen, it touches their heart. But if you say, 'What you are doing is hurting me, then they will not listen.'
Have this attitude: 'Come what may, I will not get hurt,. If someone is going to be nasty, I will learn to be compassionate.'
The anger is boiling inside them, so don't welcome their negativity into your
system. That's where you need to shield your mind. We need to save our mind. We say – save the planet, save the environment, save this and that, but nobody says save the mind. Think they have left that task to us.
We have to go with this slogan – save your mind at all cost.

Eating okra is much recommended for pregnant woman because it is rich in folic acid. The mucilage and fiber found in okra helps adjust blood sugar by regulating its absorption in the small intestine. The fiber of okra has many superior qualities in maintaining the health of the gastro-intestinal tract. It helps reabsorb water and traps excess cholesterol, metabolic toxins and surplus bile in its mucilage and slips it out through the stool. Due to greater percentage of water in the bulk it thereby prevents constipation, gas and bloating in the abdomen. Okra is an excellent laxative treats irritable bowels, heals ulcers and sooths the gastrointestinal tract. Protein and oil contained in the seeds of okra serves as the rich source of amino acids like tryptophan, cystine and other sulfur amino acids.
OLIVE: Olives are concentrated in monounsaturated fats and a good source of vitamin E. Vitamin E is the body's primary fat-soluble antioxidant. It goes after and directly neutralizes free radicals in all the fat-rich areas of the body and thus it protects from heart diseases, colon cancer, asthma, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
ONION: Onions are very good source of Chromium, Vit.C and Dietary fiber. Allyl propyl disulfide onions is responsible for lowering blood sugar levels by increasing the amount of free insulin available. Allyl propyl disulfide does this by competing with insulin, which is also a disulphide, to occupy the sites in the liver where insulin is inactivated. This results is an increase in the amount of insulin available to usher glucose into cells causing a lowering of blood sugar. onions are a very good source of chromium, Clinical studies of diabetics have shown that chromium can decrease fasting blood glucose levels, improve glucose tolerance, lower insulin levels, and decrease total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, while increasing good HDL-cholesterol levels. Besides having heart healthy effects, onions protect from various cancers and it has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial activities.
ORANGE: As we all know oranges are an excellent source of Vit.C. Oranges' health benefits continue with their fiber; a single orange provides 12.5% of the daily value for fiber, which has been shown to reduce high cholesterol levels thus helping to prevent atherosclerosis. Fiber can also help out by keeping blood sugar levels under control. The most important point about ornage is that a class of compounds found in citrus fruit peels called polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) have the potential to lower cholesterol more effectively than some prescription drugs like statin, and without side effects.
PAPAYA: Papayas may be very helpful for the prevention of atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease. Papayas are an excellent source of vitamin C as well as a good source of vitamin E and vitamin A, three very powerful antioxidants. These nutrients help prevent the oxidation of cholesterol. Papayas are also a good source of fiber, which has been shown to lower high cholesterol levels. The folic acid found in papayas is needed for the conversion of a substance called homocysteine into benign amino acids such as cysteine or methionine. If unconverted, homocysteine can directly damage blood vessel walls and, if levels get too high, is considered a significant risk factor for a heart attack or stroke.
PEACH: Peaches help make the skin healthy and also add color to the complexion. It has been seen that consumption of peaches helps in the removal of worms from the intestinal tract. Being rich in Vitamin A, peaches might help prevent cancer in organs and glands with epithelial tissue.

Researches have suggested that peaches have good to excellent antioxidant activity, some antimicrobial activity and good to excellent tumor growth inhibition activity.
PINEAPPLE: Bromelain is a complex mixture of substances that can be extracted from pineapple. It has Potential Anti-Inflammatory and Digestive Benefits. Pineapple is an excellent source of Vit.C and trace mineral Manganese. Vit.C is helpful for antioxidant Protection and Immune Support and the trace mineral manganese is an essential cofactor in a number of enzymes important in energy production and antioxidant defenses. For example, the key oxidative enzyme superoxide dismutase, which disarms free radicals produced within the mitochondria requires manganese. Just one cup of fresh pineapple supplies 128.0% of the DV for this very important trace mineral. In addition to manganese, pineapple is a good source of thiamin, a B vitamin that acts as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions central to energy production.
PLUM: The fresh version (plums) and the dried version (prunes) of the plant are significant source of anti-oxidants and Vit.C.
POTATO: Potatoes contain a variety of phytonutrients that have antioxidant activity. Potatoes have high levels of vitamin C, folic acid, quercetin and kukoamines.

Vitamin K1 helps prevent excessive activation of osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone. Spinach is an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin A important antioxidants that work to reduce the amounts of free radicals in the body; vitamin C works as a water-soluble antioxidant and beta-carotene as a fat-soluble one. This water-and-fat-soluble antioxidant team helps to prevent cholesterol from becoming oxidized. Oxidized cholesterol is able to stick to and build up in blood vessel walls, where it can cause blocked arteries, heart attack or stroke. Spinach is also an excellent source of folate. Folate is needed by the body to help convert a potentially dangerous chemical called homocysteine that can lead to heart attack or stroke if levels get too high, into other benign molecules. In addition, spinach is an excellent source of magnesium, a mineral that can help to lower high blood pressure and protect against heart disease as well. Cooked spinach is an excellent source of iron.
