Collocations: bear
Tim Bowen bears the burden (llevar el peso, tener la responsabilidad) of explaining the collocates of this interesting word. Just dont bear a grudge (tener ojeriza, rencor) against him.
The recent sharp increases in the price of oil have led to a number of gloomy headlines around the world. According to various news sources, airlines will have to bear the costs of the price rise, while the poor old consumer will have to bear the burden of rising petrol prices. Small businesses, we are told, will bear the brunt of (soportar el peso más duro) a strike by oil tanker drivers. This last expression means 'to feel the full impact of something' and is virtually the only everyday use of the word brunt (it can also follow the verbs take and carry). The effects of an oil price that is expected to reach 200 dollars a barrel don't bear thinking about (are too awful to contemplate), while the general public will no doubt bear a grudge against the government for its handling of the situation (have an unfriendly attitude towards it because of what it has done).
The current situation bears a strong resemblance to (is very similar to) the situation in the 1970s when oil prices rose sharply. The economies of many countries bore the scars (continued to feel the effects) of that crisis for many years. You have to bear in mind (remember), however, that these things go in cycles. It also appears that efforts to find alternative sources of energy to power vehicles are beginning to bear fruit (to produce positive results). The recent launch of Honda's hydrogen-powered car bears witness to this (is evidence of this).

8 USES OF CUMIN AND ITS HEALTH BENEFITS
Romans traditionally kept a dish of cumin at the dining table to be used as a condiment, just as we keep salt and pepper shakers. It was later brought to Spain and Portugal, who are credited with introducing cumin to the Americas. Now it’s largely grown in the nations of Mexico, China, Syria, Chile, Iran, Turkey and the USA.

Cumin Uses
Cumin is rich with nutrients. It provides calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc. It also contains B vitamins, nourishing to the nervous system, and Vitamins A, C, and E.
Digestion
Cumin is famously used to treat flatulence. For prevention, sprinkle it as you would salt and pepper in cabbage soup or on beans, for instance; add a teaspoon to some yogurt and enjoy; or simply enjoy the toasted seeds.
Nursing Mothers
Because it contains thymol, Cumin is considered a galactagogue, increasing the production of breast milk. Stir warmed milk with honey and add cumin to taste. It can also be combined with other galactagogues such as fenugreek and fennel for higher potency. Midwives attest to the power of cumin to induce labor by causing the uterus to contract. Talk to you doctor or midwife before considering! Also, the recommended tea can be bitter. Some recipes recommend a little salt and some coriander; others, lemon and honey. I say, within reason,play!
Oral health and hygiene
To freshen breath and help cure mouth sores, chew on the toasted seeds.
Peace & Wellness
Finally, research has shown that depression and stress wreak havoc on our bodies, whereas tranquility and joy are key factors to our health. As the ancient proverb says, “A heart of peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.” Peace for the soul is peace for the body. I pray you would be filled up and overflowing with peace so that you can delight in the many spices of life.
