Beware of Cut Onions

Please remember it is dangerous to cut an onion and try to use it to cook the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates toxic bacteria which may cause adverse stomach infections because of excess bile secretions and even food poisoning.

As onions should not take raw and also the left over onions, as it both becomes poisonous.

The onions wont contaminate into bacterial formation. This is just opposite. The onions have some good features of sulphur compounds, it have antibacterial activity. While cutting the onion, it release the enzymes of chemical reaction which produces propenesulfenic acid, which decomposes sulphuric acid.

This sulphuric acid irritates the eye and makes ourself to cry. But this sulphuric acid reduces the growth of bacteria. The surface of the cut onion dries quickly and moisture content is reduced, thus lead to bacterial growth.

WORLD HEART DAY - Sept 29th

Heart is one of the most important organs of your body and yet it is ignored as it silently keeps on beating through out your life. To understand the importance of heart and the amount of hard work it need to do consider a man of 70 years old. If his heart has been beating at a normal rate of 70 times a minute that means it has pumped 2,575,440,000 times till now. It has not stopped to rest even for a minute. These numbers easily depict how much strain heart has to sustain. Heart keeps on pumping fresh and oxygenated blood into the arteries from where it reaches each and every cell all over the body.

The blood containing the toxins mainly carbon dioxide is returned from the body via the veins. Heart sends this blood to lungs which takes out the carbon dioxide and oxygenates the blood and then it is sent back to the heart. The heart pumps out the oxygenated blood back into the arteries. This cycle keeps on happening throughout our life and therefore it is vital that the heart is healthy so that we can carry on living properly.

Role of Cholesterol

There are various factors which are important in the healthy functioning of the heart. One of them is the Cholesterol in your body. Cholesterol is a compound found in the body which is used for various body functionality like maintaining the cell fluidity and basic cellular health. Liver converts the Cholesterol into bile which is then used for digesting and absorption of fatty acids and fat soluble compounds.

Major sources of Cholesterol include animal products which include butter, egg and meat. Another major source of Cholesterol is the fried food even if it is vegetable product as they contain trans fat which are not required in the body. As we keep on consuming animal fat and trans fat the cholesterol starts gradually accumulating in the arteries and they start getting narrower. This puts pressure on the heart to pump the blood. This is one of the reasons of high blood pressure. If the artery gets completely blocked then it leads to heart attacks which can be fatal.

Usually inner surface of the artery is smooth but when that surface get accumulated with cholesterol the surface becomes rough and increases resistance to the flow of blood and increases the chances of blood clot. Another problem with accumulation of cholesterol is a condition called Atherosclerosis wherein the arteries are hardened and become less flexible. Usually there are techniques such as angioplasty which are used by doctors to remove the blockages of arteries. These are quite costly and at the same time in future some other place in the artery can get blocked. It is better to follow a healthy lifestyle which will eliminate or reduce the chances of such problems.

How to take care of your heart with Yoga

Asana

Following Asanas can be practiced which include sitting and forward bending asanas. Forward bending asanas calm the mind and massages the heart.

Shashanka Asana

Janu Shirshasana

Paschimottan Asana

Vajra Asana

Pranayama

Nadi Shodhan pranayama is very useful for clearing the blockages of heart. This pranayama also removes stress which is beneficial for the heart.

Anuloma Viloma Pranayama

Anuloma Viloma Pranayama is similar to Nadi Shodhan Pranayama, only difference is it can be done bit faster than Nadi Shodhan. Here are the simple steps.

Sit in Padmasana

With the thumb of the right hand press the right nostril and inhale fully. Try to inhale to full capacity of the lungs.

Release the thumb from the right nostrils and press the left nostrils with two middle fingers of right hand. Now exhale fully through right nostril.

Keep the left nostril pressed with the two middle fingers and inhale through right nostrils.

Release the middle fingers and again press the thumb on the right nostril and exhale through left nostril.

This completes one round. The procedure is similar to Nadi shodhan pranayama, but in Nadi Shodhana pranayama it is done very slowly and there is not sound while breathing. in anuloma viloma pranamaya you can hear the sound of the air against the nasal walls while breathing. Important thing to remember is to try to inhale and exhale to full capacity of your lungs. Complete 20 rounds and over the period of next few months you can increase it to 80-90 rounds. You can also take a break depending on your capacity and resume after some rest. This Pranayama will oxygenate the entire body, remove stress and remove the blockages from the arteries.

Uses of Lemon Tea

Instead of getting a cup of coffee, why not replace it with a warm water lemon drink!? Below are the good factors to consider.

1. Boosts your immune system: Lemons are high in vitamin C, which is great for fighting colds. They’re high in potassium, which stimulates brain and nerve function. Potassium also helps control blood pressure.

2. Balances pH: Drink lemon water everyday and you’ll reduce your body’s overall acidity. Lemon is one of the most alkaline foods around. Yes, lemon has citric acid but it does not create acidity in the body once metabolized.

3. Helps with weight loss: Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. It also has been shown that people who maintain a more alkaline diet lose weight faster.

4. Aids digestion: Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials. It encourages the liver to produce bile which is an acid that required for digestion. Efficient digestion reduces heartburn and constipation.

5. Is a diuretic: Lemons increase the rate of urination in the body, which helps purify it. Toxins are, therefore, released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.

6. Clears skin: The vitamin C component helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well. It can actually be applied directly to scars to help reduce their appearance.

7. Freshens breath: Not only this, but it can help relieve tooth pain and gingivitis. The citric acid can erode tooth enamel, so you should monitor this.

8. Relieves respiratory problems: Warm lemon water helps get rid of chest infections and halt those pesky coughs. It’s thought to be helpful to people with asthma and allergies too.

9. Keeps you zen: Vitamin C is one of the first things depleted when you subject your mind and body to stress. As mentioned previously, lemons are chock full of vitamin C.

10. Helps kick the coffee habit: After taking a glass of warm lemon water, most people suggests of less craving for coffee in the morning.

Why it has to be warm water not cold? Cold water likely provides a shock or stress factor to the body. It takes energy for your body to process cold water.

The recipe is really simple - a cup of warm water (not hot) and the juice from half of a lemon.

"10000 times stronger killer of CANCER than Chemo"

The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.

Why are we not aware of this? Its because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale.

So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time. The taste is not bad after all. It’s completely natural and definitely has no side effects. If you have the space, plant one in your garden.

The other parts of the tree are also useful.

The next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour sop.

How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?

This tree is low and is called graviola ! in Brazi l, guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name “soursop” in English. The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects. Although it is effective for a number of medical conditions, it is its anti tumor effect that is of most interest. This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types.

Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders.

If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it’s the incredible story behind the Graviola tree..

The truth is stunningly simple: Deep within the Amazon Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival. The future has never looked more promising.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:

* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss

* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections

* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment

* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America ‘s largest drug manufacturers, th! e fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970's! What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing… Extracts from the tree were shown to:

* Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..

* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!

* What’s more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectivelyhunts

down and kills only cancer cells.. It does not harm healthy cells!

The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched–so why haven’t you heard anything about it? If Graviola extract is

One of America ‘s biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.

Various parts of the Graviola tree–including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds–have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indi! ans in S outh America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis. Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree’s anti-cancerous properties–and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.

But that’s where the Graviola story nearly ended.

The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree–it’s completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There’s no way to make serious profits from it.

It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to synthesize two of the Graviola tree’s most powerful anti-cancer ingredients. If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent, they’d be able to patent it and make their money back. Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated. There was no way the company could protect its profits–or even make back the millions it poured into research.

As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt. Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team whose conscience wouldn’t let him see such atrocity committed. Risking his career, he contacted a company that’s dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the whistle.

Miracle unleashed

When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola,! they be gan tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree. Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola–and its shocking cover-up–came in fast and furious….

….The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976. The results showed that Graviola’s “leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells.” Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public…

….Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, yet no double-blind clinical trials–the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a treatment’s value–were ever initiated….

….A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at “10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin…”

….The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched. Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

…A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers Seven years of silence broken–it’s finally here!" — with Rosie Ochoa Zambrana, Sharon Fallows, Jerome Combel, virginislandstv.tv, Didi Poblador Mendoza and Marlene Jago.

COMPLETE PROTEIN GREEN JUICE

Many people are surprised to hear that the simple combination of cucumber and celery makes a complete protein – they have a complimentary amino acid profile. But it’s not imperative, like most believe, to eat complete proteins at every meal – not even in every day – as long as we eat a varied plant based diet, we get ALL the necessary protein that we need.

For this Complete Protein Green Juice all you need is a juicer and:

1/5 bunch celery
1 apple
1 bunch kale
1 large cucumber

Health benefits of this juice

This juice is extremely alkalizing and hydrating to the body. Celery and cucumber are very alkalizing and kale offers the rich benefits of chlorophyll. This green juice will help stimulate bowel movements, cleaning out the colon and help the body detoxify itself.

Health Benefits of Apples

Apples are a great source of potassium, B vitamins and vitamin C. Make sure to buy and eat organic apples and eat the skin because that’s where the pectin is, a type of fibre. In a 2008 study, researchers at the University of California-Davis concluded that apple pectin is an antioxidant and can lower cholesterol levels, reduce and prevent gallstones, promote a healthy digestive tract and regulate blood-sugar levels.

Health Benefits of Cucumbers

Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need to stay healthy on a daily basis. Cucumber contains vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, folic acid, vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Proteins comprise 11% of total calories in cucumber.

Health Benefits of Celery

You may be surprised to hear that celery has 18 amino acids and protein comprises 17% of total calories. It’s pretty incredible to see how much protein the plant based foods actually have. It is also a good source of riboflavin, vitamin B6, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, pantothenic acid, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, and a very good source of dietary fiber, folate, potassium and manganese. It’s also a great natural source of sodium, essential when you completely eliminate salt from the diet.

The Health Benefits of Kale

Kale ranks in at 16% of calories from protein and is extremely mineral dense, offering a wide mineral and amino acid profile. It’s also a great source of chlorophyll, and dietary fibre.

Are you surprised to find out how much protein plant based foods have to offer? Hopefully this information will help to dispel the myth that plant based foods offer ‘inferior’ protein quality. As I’ve mentioned, they provide the exact range of protein that our bodies are designed to require.

Keep Walking..... 

Jus to check this out......

The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the heart is on the left foot.

Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it connects to.

It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here.

This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.

God created our body so well. He made us walk so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping these organs activated at all times.

So, keep walking...

Age - Defying Greens

Ageing, dark spots, wrinkles, and fine lines... these are the last things that a person would like to see on his or her skin. No wonder, both men and women are willing to shell out a lump-sum to look good and are going all natural in the process, According to experts, the secret lies in the plate and that's precisely why that you eat matters the most.
    Food experts recommend people to opt for natural products to maintain a youthful look in a healthy way. And when it comes to these natural products, there are umpteen varieties to choose from. Health gives you a list of products that one could choose from to delay the ageing process and to maintain that youthful look.

LEAFY GREENS:

Like eggs. leafy greens such as spinach, kale, turnip greens, and romaine, lettuce, are great sources of lutein and zeaxanthin. Studies have shown eating foods rich in these antioxidants can significantly reduce risk of AMD (agerelated macular degeneration), as well as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Spinach has a very high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score. It is a measurement of a food's ability to destroy the free radicals that cause damage in your body. The higher the ORAC score, the better a food is for you.

YELLOW AND ORANGE ROOT VEGETABLES:

Put plenty of beta-carotene on your plate. These super-antioxidants are good for your skin and eyes. Good choices include carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and squash.

BROCCOLI:

Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant that is found in broccoli, along with other foods including cranberries, onions and apples. It is a natural anti-inflammatory agent as well, fighting the number two cause of aging. Broccoli sprouts have 30 times more isothio-cyanates (yet another antioxidant) than regular broccoli.

ALOE VERA:

Aloe vera's anti-ageing properties have been known for ages. Scientific evidence suggests that Aloe Vera juice can heal skin and reverse skin ageing. Skin ages because of UV light damage and loss of collagen in the skin. Collagen helps in keeping the skin firm and elastic. Ageing breaks down the collagen matrix in your skn which leads to wrinkles. Drinking aloe vera juice is known to reduce the wrinkle depth and improve skin elasticity due to increased collagen production.

BLUEBERRIES:

These tiny berries are powerhouses of nutrition. They are loaded with antioxidants, which stops premature ageing and help prevent cancer. Wild blueberries also boost your health. A study suggests that anthocyanins in blueberries appear to combat oxidative stress, which is one of the main causes of ageing.

GARLIC:

Allium is an antioxidant that packs a punch. Garlic, onions and scallions are loaded with this freeradical fighter that is good for your skin and your immune system.

GREEN TEA

Green tea is rich in catechins, compounds that have been shown to decrease cholesterol absorption in your body. Another bonus? It may help prevent cancer and weight gain, too!

GOOD FATS vs BAD FATS

GOOD FATS, BAD FATS, AND THE POWER OF OMEGA-3s

For years, nutritionists and doctors have preached that a low-fat diet is the key to losing weight, managing cholesterol, and preventing health problems. But more than just the amount of fat, it’s the types of fat you eat that really matter.

Bad fats increase cholesterol and your risk of certain diseases, while good fats protect your heart and support overall health. In fact, good fats—such as omega-3 fats—are essential to physical and emotional health.

A walk down the grocery aisle will confirm our obsession with low-fat foods. We’re bombarded with supposedly guilt-free options: baked potato chips, fat-free ice cream, low-fat candies, cookies, and cakes. But while our low-fat options have exploded, so have obesity rates. Clearly, low-fat foods and diets haven’t delivered on their trim, healthy promises.

Despite what you may have been told, fat isn’t always the bad guy in the waistline wars. Bad fats, such as saturated fats and trans fats, are guilty of the unhealthy things all fats have been blamed for—weight gain, clogged arteries, and so forth. But good fats such as the monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, and omega-3s have the opposite effect.As a matter of fact, healthy fats play a huge role in helping you manage your moods, stay on top of your mental game, fight fatigue, and even control your weight.

Types of dietary fat: Good fats vs. bad fats

To understand good and bad fats, you need to know the names of the players and some information about them. There are four major types of fats:

1.monounsaturated fats
2.polyunsaturated fats
3.saturated fats
4.trans fats

Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are known as the “good fats” because they are good for your heart, your cholesterol, and your overall health.

GOOD FATS

Monounsaturated fat Polyunsaturated fat
Olive oil soybean oil
Canola oil corn oil
Sunflower oil safflower oil
Peanut oil walnuts
Sesame oil sunflower and pumpkin seeds
Avocados flax seed
Olives fatty fish (salmon,tuna)
Nuts (almonds) soy milk
Peanut butter tofu

Saturated fats and trans fats are known as the “bad fats” because they increase your risk of disease and elevate cholesterol.

Appearance-wise, saturated fats and trans fats tend to be solid at room temperature (think of butter or traditional stick margarine), while monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats tend to be liquid (think of olive or corn oil).

BAD FATS

Saturated fat Trans fat
High-fat cuts of meat Commercially-baked products
Chicken with the skin Packaged snack foods
Whole-fat dairy products Packaged snack foods
Butter Vegetable shortening
Cheese Fried foods
Ice cream Candy bars
Palm and coconut oil

How much fat is too much?depends on your lifestyle, your weight, your age and most importantly the state of your health. The USDA recommends that the average individual:

1.Keep total fat intake to 20-35% of calories
2.Limit saturated fats to less than 10% of your calories (200 calories for a 2000 calorie diet)
3.Limit trans fats to 1% of calories (2 grams per day for a 2000 calorie diet)

Simple ways to reduce saturated fat:

Eat less red meat (beef, pork, or lamb) and more fish and chicken

Go for lean cuts of meat, and stick to white meat, which has less saturated fat.
Bake, broil, or grill instead of frying.

Remove the skin from chicken and trim as much fat off of meat as possible before cooking.

Avoid breaded meats and vegetables and deep-fried foods.

Choose low-fat milk and lower-fat cheeses like mozzarella whenever possible; enjoy full-fat dairy in moderation.

Use liquid vegetable oils such as olive oil or canola oil instead of lard, shortening, or butter.

Avoid cream and cheese sauces, or have them served on the side.
