    I visited your article waqar, first things first you need to do is change the pictures of your article. Try to use cruelty free images such as pixabay, unsplash, etc and upload more appropriate images. Second, must check the grammer and plagiarism before uploading your articles.

          K2khan, there is no such thing as cruelty free pics; it's not a farm. Pixabay and Unsplash provide royalty free pics ie pictures that can be used without payment or attribution. Please don't mislead others.

    You need to correct the language errors in the article. You also need to be careful with respect to your health claims. For example, at the start of the second paragraph, you say that people should avoid spicy foods because they can cause high blood pressure (which at least in my part of the world is the same thing as hypertension). Some spices have been found to lower blood pressure, not raise it. In addition, you need to clarify what you mean by telling people to “avoid all fat” in the last paragraph. We need to eat some types of fat in our diet.

    I think you should go into more detail about the nutrients and their effects. The story in your article is interesting, but since your article is in the “Health” category you need to put more emphasis on the nutrient facts that you’ve included. You do include some useful advice, but a health article needs authoritative references to support all of the claims related to health and disease.

      There is an edit button. If you click on the "more" button under a post that you've made, you'll see the edit button. It's present for a limited period of time, however.

      If you correct an error that someone's already pointed out, I think it's polite to say that you've changed the post so it doesn't look as though the person was mistaken.

        I think Hubpages articles are written in American or British english. However pakistanis can write articles in both American and British, if there was another language HubPages would not accept it. If we wrote in another language, no one could understand or read it.

          Alicia, at HP standard America English (AE) or British English (BE) I think is a priority. It is very safe for me to say this.           But as regards to other nations or countries English, I am at a loss.     Grammarly has help me master AE to certain extent.            I am on another thread. The hubber was a Pakistan. We leverage along the language bringing it down to HP requirement. The guy ask me to sing again because his article got featured again. Thank you, Alicia.

    AliciaC,  I would like to say that anyone can make a mistake. Whether he is a native English speaker or not. Like our mother tongue is Urdu but we can't write it perfectly. So it is a bad thing to laugh at someone's mistake.

        Bev, I did not talk about Alicia. She is very kind. I've just said that when someone makes a mistake in English, people laugh at it. Alicia said "We can't assume that just because someone comes from a certain country they can't write acceptable English." That's why I addressed her, and I agree with her.

      Alicia C is obviously not laughing or mocking anyone. The same when I pointed out K2Khan's wrong description for free images.

      Like it or not, mechanically accurate English is a basic requirement here, and that's something anyone is capable of, provided he or she throws in the effort beforehand to learn. To go into the whole native speaker, mother tongue defense is lame, IMO. There is only that one set of English grammar rules wherever you are.

          K2khan, I didn't direct that comment at you. It was in response to Moondot1812's comment, which I misunderstood as him chiding AliciaC.

          Which in turn arose from all the nonsensical replies posted by some other hubber here.

          But here's something you probably should also know about. You earn, and gain SEO traffic, from international viewers reading your hubs. You increase the chances of that by refining your hubs till they are acceptable for the niche sites.

          The old blogging trick of leaving comments all over the place, in hope that other hubbers visit and comment on your writing, is not going to help.  Actually, it may even do harm because of the bounce rate.

          In short, work on improving your writing and English, and SEO skills. Those are the only ways to get you traffic

              "Cruelty free" normally relates to things like make-up that has not been tested on animals.
