<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span>Getting away from the
office or family tensions is not easy, but try to change how you handle
them. The more you relax, the more easily your body will be able to
regulate stress levels. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Research
suggests that exercise, in any form, is the best way to de-stress and
relax. Select something you enjoy and stick to it.<br /><br /><span style="color: #674ea7;"><u><b>Exercise regularly</b></u> </span> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">whether to deal with stress or to just get fitter. It's a smart move to have a healthy heart in your 30s.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
Even a 15-30 minutes exercise session, every day, will be beneficial
for your heart, and will also prevent you from putting on extra weight
and thereby compounding any potential health ailments.<br /><span style="color: #cc0000;"><u><b><br />Eat healthy</b></u></span><br />Try and avoid those unhealthy food items during the weekend with your friends and family.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
These unhealthy foods can add up to your calorie and cholesterol levels
and increase the risk of heart problems. Instead opt for a diet full of
protein, omega 3.<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000;"><u><b>Sleep well</b></u></span><br /><br />Sleeping
less than five hours a day, can increase the risk of stroke or cardiac
arrest. Make sure you sleep well, maintain a daily bed time and wake up
time and avoid smoking or consuming alcohol in excess, or heavy food
before going to sleep.<br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><u><b>Breakfast is mandatory</b></u></span><br /><br />Never skip
your breakfast. It is indeed very important to eat a healthy and
nutritious breakfast. A good breakfast gives your body that much needed
fuel to get active and stay fit.<br /><span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span><u><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Birth control needs some revamping</span></b></span></u><br />You
should reconsider using contraceptives like pills and the patch, if you
have high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">According
to Dr. Goldberg, using these may worsen the case if you have any heart
ailments. Hence, talk to your gynecologist before trying any
contraceptives. (as mentioned in fitnessmagazine.com)<br /><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;"><u><b>Limit sugar and salt intake</b></u></span><br /><br />Intake
of sugar can raise your cholesterol and triglycerides level and salt
can cause high blood pressure. You don't have to completely avoid salt
and sugar but limit your daily intake to avoid heart problems. Cut off
from indulgences in cakes, pastries and creamy food items.</span></span></div>

from you. This technique will help to ease your stress in a positive
manner. Just look at all the stressful situation and come up with a good
solution for each of it.<br /><br /><span style="color: #134f5c;"><u><b>Accept the problem</b></u></span><br />If
you are struck with a bad situation, accept and find a solution for it,
instead of running away. Accepting your problems positively will just
make you strong enough to face tougher situations in future.<br /><br /><span style="color: #783f04;"><b><u>Care for yourself</u></b></span><br />In
stressful situations most of the times we end up least bothering about
ourselves, either by eating unhealthy meals or by ignoring our sleep.
This ignorance can more harm you, and will weaken your power to deal
with stress. Thus, even if you are stressed, make sure you don't harm
yourself with the situation you are going through.<br /><br /><span style="color: #351c75;"><u><b>Meditate</b></u></span><br />Meditation
is one of the best ways to lead a stress-free life. A simple, 20
minutes meditation will make your refresh and relaxed. Besides, it also
helps to reduce your anxiety, tension and stress.</span></span></div>

a glass of orange juice a day can keep your skin glowing and keep cold
away. Orange juice is known to contain a high percentage of Vitamin C,
which is helpful in boosting the immune system.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><br />So,
you will be less likely to catch various illnesses, such as cold or
flu. Also, medical studies show that orange juice may help lower both
cholesterol and blood pressure levels.<br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><u><b>What's your squeeze?</b></u></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Don't
mix sugar with orange juice. Always remember that you do not need to
drink a whole lot of orange juice in order to get these healthy
benefits. In fact, since orange juice is fairly high in calories, avoid
drinking too much of the stuff.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
If you are drinking canned orange juice, then be sure to check the
sugar content on the label when choosing orange juice if you really want
to get the highest amount of health benefits from your orange juice
and, ultimately, prevent weight gain (since high sugar levels can cause
it).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />It
is often said that orange juice containing pulp tends to be healthier
for the body, but it is an issue that is often debated. If you have a
stomach condition, remember that orange juice is very acidic and for
that reason, it may cause a stomach upset. Due to its acidity, orange
juice can also cause tooth damage , if left uncared.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Temptation
has always been luring on humankind right from the time God made
humans. It started with Eve eating the forbidden fruit and it never
stopped.<br /><br />Temptation usually has some sort of consequence, which
differs in magnitude. Temptations, which you should definitely avoid to lead
a healthy and fit life.</span></span></div>

you want to celebrate your birthday or your success then celebrate it
without lighting even a single cigar. Smoking or being in a smoky area,
can be very disastrous to your health,</span></span><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> smoking even a
single cigarette a day, can cause blood clots, which may prevent swift
flow of the blood and hence develop plaque in your arteries and blood
vessels.<br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><u><b>Being a Casanova :</b></u></span><br /><br />Sex
with one person is fun and healthy, but sex with many can surely
fascinate you but will land you in the hospital and attach you with
several syringes. Have sex, but with a person whom you trust, and make
sure, you use protection to stay away from STDs.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">An instant boost from sugar and caffeine does more harm than benefit.<br /><br />They
come in cool colours, and with cooler promises. Youngsters are besotted
by an array of energy drinks lining the shelves alongside aerated
drinks. But does a dose of energy these cans and bottles offer really
help? Read on to know...<br /><br /><span style="color: #741b47;"><u><b>Caffeine kicks and sugary threats</b></u></span><br />Energy
drinks have a very high content of caffeine and sugar that work at
making you feel fresh and energised. And too much of caffeine can cause
jitters, a fast heartbeat, and trouble sleeping.<br />Also, though the sugar provides a burst of energy, watch
out for a phenomenon called as 'sugar crash' — when this energy wears
off. This makes one feel very tired all over again. Thus, they are
definitely not meant for sporting activities. And the presence of quinine, that's
used in drinks for giving them the fizz, is anyway bad for the bones, Further, the high sugar content can lead to weight gain, and
also cause cavities. Do not have them
too often, and whenever you do, make sure you rinse your mouth.<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000;"><u><b>Addiction trouble</b></u></span><br />Caffeine can be addictive, whether
it's tea, coffee or energy drinks. So in case you don't happen to find
one, you may get headaches, become cranky and or feel tired for a few
days. A pediatrician, Dr Bhandarkar says that as these drinks taste
sweet, children are also attracted to them. However, parents should
definitely discourage younger children from having both, sports as well
as energy drinks, "As it can cause electrolyte abnormalities. Hence,
while it's a strict no-no for younger children, in case if teens,
involved in sports and physical activities, subscribe to it, it should
only be under supervision."<br /><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;"><u><b>Source of vitamins and amino acids</b></u></span><br />Most
energy drinks claim the presence of vitamins and even amino acids,
popular with those high on body building. "However, it's much cheaper
and safer to get the from multi-vitamin supplements instead follow a well-balanced diet and opt for alternatives
in form of natural juices. So it is recommended grape fruit juice and
orange juice as good alternatives to replenish the lost electrolytes
after a physical activity.<br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><u><b>Go natural</b></u></span><br />Energy drinks should not
be confused with sports drinks. The former doesn't
replace water and minerals one loses when we sweat. In fact the caffeine
can actually make you more dehydrated. Simply drink water instead.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Splits are not for acrobats alone. Here's a flexi routine to keep you pain-free<br /><br />So,
you workout five days a week, watch everything that makes its way to
your stomach and drink four litres of water a day. But can you touch
your toes with ease? Flexibility, defined as the capability of being
bent repeatedly without damage or injury, is not essential to dancers,
atheletes and acrobats alone. Stiffness has resulted in ligament tears, muscle strain,
tendonitis, neck and lower back pain and even a slipped disc.<br /><br />As
we age, our flexibility reduces. Slouching on the sofa, sitting in front
of a computer for hours and driving on a long commute, only make
matters worse. "It's the joints that are less frequently used that tend
to be worse affected.<br /> But you can't rush into
getting flexible. Contemporary dance choreographer Sumeet Nagdev calls
achieving flexibility a gradual art. "Simple stretches that are done
daily with enough repetitions help in making the body supple, and
increase muscle strength."<br /><br />Here's 4-step get flexi daily routine:<br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><u><b>Hamstring stretch</b></u></span><br />Why do it?<br />Helps
in tailbone flexibility. A sudden jerk to your legs will not leave you
with a 'catch'. Stand with your feet together and drop your body down
gradually, bending at the waist, slowly touching the floor with your
hands (don't force it). Keep your knees straight. Drop your head first,
and then your back, vertebrae by vertebrae. To come up, bend your knees
and slowly roll up so that you come out of suspension. Your head should
come up last. Do this eight times every day. By the end of the eighth
time, you must try and touch palms to floor.<br /><br /><span style="color: blue;"><u><b>Hip flexor</b></u></span><br />Why do it?<br />Stretches
your hands, opens the hip flexors (group of skeletal muscles that act
to flex the thigh bone and aid walking) and strengthens muscles around
the tailbone. Sit on the floor with your back against the wall, and legs
stretched out. Bend slightly forward and touch your toes. Repeat four
times. Slowly, spread your legs apart to 150 degrees, keeping your back
straight. Place your palms flat on the floor between your legs.
Gradually move your palms forward in a straight line, bending your back
without moving your hips. When the legs are at 150-180 degrees and the
chest is parallel to the floor, that's an ideal position.<br /><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Hand stretch</b></u></span><br />Why do it?<br />Works
the triceps and forearms; you're less likely to pull a muscle. Sit
upright and keep your hands stretched out with palms facing outward and
fingers pointing down. Hold the fingers of your left hand with your
right and slowly guide the left arm towards the right (feel the stretch
in your left tricep). Don't bend elbows. Repeat with other hand</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Your body is the first to signal that you're depressed. 10 smart ways to get over the sullenness<br /><br />Studies
suggest more than 65 per cent of women suffering from depression don't
actually feel all that miserable. Instead, they show physical signs
including experiencing strange niggles, drowsiness post noon and
excessive eating. According to the University of Washington
researchers, struggling with two or more of these symptoms is your
body's way of signalling that you are depressed. So, in order to combat
depression before it takes you down, follow these simple tips to a
happier you:<br /><br /><span style="color: #cc0000;"><u><b>Get your Vitamin D</b></u></span><br />Vitamin D, also known as
vitamin sunshine, helps your brain produce antidepressant hormones like
serotonin and oxytocin, boosting your mood by at least 30 per cent.
According to researchers at the University of Texas, mornings are the
best time to absorb nutrients — soaking in your quota of vitamin D in
the AM hours can cut your risk of depression by half. In fact, studies
show, it improves people's outlook for five hours straight.<br /><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Be less tidy</b></u></span><br />Lowering
your cleanliness standards allows you to spend more time relaxing and
unwinding. This helps down your production of cortisol, which is a
stress hormone that sabotages brain function and saps your ability to
produce antidepressant hormones. Being less tidy, on the other hand, can
make your serotonin production creep up in as little as one week. So,
the next time your mum is after you to clean up the room, you have an
excuse.<br /><br /><span style="color: #674ea7;"><u><b>Tweak the lighting</b></u></span><br />There's a direct nerve connection
between your eyes and the biological clock that you're used to. Keep
your home and workplace cheery and bright during the day by using high
wattage light bulbs and opening the curtains. Dim the lights and switch
off your computer and other light emitting electronics one hour before
bedtime.<br /><br /><span style="color: #bf9000;"><u><b>Dance to happiness</b></u></span><br />Dancing is a combination of
exercise and rhythmic motions. This kind of activity prompts your brain
to produce a larger, steadier supply of mood-steadying hormones. For
best results, dance for 30 minutes, four times a week. In a recent
Swedish study, it only took nine weeks of dancing to cut subjects'
depression scores by 67 per cent — an improvement that's tough to match
even with antidepressant meds.<br /><br /><span style="color: #45818e;"><u><b>Sing along too</b></u></span><br />And while
learning steps, learn to croon to the numbers. Singing kickstarts your
brain's production of calming, mood-boosting alpha brain waves. Women
who include music into their daily lives — by spending 10 to 15 minutes
singing along to their favourite songs — recover up to 55 per cent
faster from the blues, plus they cut their risk of relapses by half.<br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><u><b>Eat avocados</b></u></span><br />Research
shows, eating half an avocado (available at Pali Market in Bandra and
Crawford Market) daily cuts your risk of depression and its symptoms by
25 per cent. This is because they are loaded with monounsaturated fats —
nutrients that prod your brain to make the blues-busting hormone
dopamine.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Diabetes is a serious disease and the number of people affected with it has skyrocketed in the last couple of years.<br />
<br />If
you think diabetes affects only elderly people then think again. By
adopting few simple tips, you can turn off the diabetes clock. To get
started, try these simple diabetes prevention tips shared by top doctors.<br /><br /><span style="color: #cc0000;"><u>Diabetes prevention tip # 1</u></span>: Know about diabetes<br />Before
beginning the diabetes prevention act, it is important to know what is
exactly diabetes. Once you are well acquainted with this disease, you
can start your prevention therapy easily.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><u><b>Diabetes prevention tip # 2</b></u></span>: Reduce your portion size<br />Reduce
the amount of food you eat, each day. Instead, of having one cup of
fruit every day, try having half a cup of fruits, or you can also drink a
glass of water every day before beginning your meal, this will make you
less hungry and you will avoid over eating.<br /><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Diabetes prevention tip # 3</b></u></span>: Get physically active<br />If
you acquire the habit of exercises daily, it will benefit you in many
ways. Exercising daily helps to maintain a healthy weight, lowers blood
sugar level and boosts your sensitivity to insulin. Thus, exercise
everyday for at least 30 minutes daily to keep your blood sugar lavel in
normal range.<br /><br /><span style="color: #a64d79;"><u><b>Diabetes prevention tip# 4</b></u></span>: Lose weight<br />If you
think, your excessive weight is making you closer to the risk of
diabetes than, slash some kilos in a healthy way. Shedding even 10
pounds can significantly drop your diabetes risk drastically.<br /><br /><span style="color: #bf9000;"><u><b>Diabetes prevention tip # 5</b></u></span>: Add lots of whole grain in your diet<br />Count
your carb intake and switch to whole grain diet, to reduce your risk of
diabetes. Including whole grain, products in your diet not only help to
prevent diabetes but also slow down your carb absorption in the body.<br /><br /><span style="color: #674ea7;"><u><b>Diabetes prevention tip# 6</b></u></span>: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day<br />No
matter how full you are, always make a habit of eating a healthy
breakfast every day, as it helps to reduce your risk of getting
diabetes. Eating a healthy breakfast not only helps to control your
appetite but also helps to control your calorie consumption in the rest
of the day, by keeping you full and thus prevents weight gain.<br /><br /><span style="color: blue;"><u><b>Diabetes prevention tip# 7</b></u></span>: Avoid fatty foods<br />Junk
food and other streets foods are high in saturated fat, which can raise
your bad cholesterol level in your body. This in turn can also affect
the blood sugar level in your body. Thus, avoid junk food and other fat
filled foods that tempt you always.</span></span><br clear="all" /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Eating right can help prevent the disease. Here are some foods you can include in your diet<br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Countless
researches and studies with conflicting information often make it an
ordeal to figure out what is a health risk and what isn't. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">These
days, everything from mobile phones, to microwaves, to even the wrong
kind of fabric, contains some form of cancer causing risk. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Studies have now helped experts to narrow food groups into cancer combating category. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Here is a list of foods classified as per their ability to help curb tissue cancer.<br /><br /><span style="color: #cc0000;"><u><b>Wholegrain</b></u></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Wholegrain cereals are rich in fibre, which may help reduce your risk of breast cancer. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">One
Swedish study found that women who ate more than 25 gm of fibre per day
were nearly 40 per cent less likely to develop the disease.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Eat
more: Opt for healthy wholegrain carbohydrates such as granary bread,
cereals such as Weetabix or porridge, brown rice and wholemeal pasta.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><u><b>Fruit and vegetables</b></u></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />A
diet full of antioxidant-rich brightly-coloured fruit and vegetables
could help combat free radicals — rogue cells that can trigger cancer. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">A
study in China this year found that women, who ate the most fruit and
vegetables in their diet, lowered their risk of breast cancer.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Eat
more: Forget five, for maximum cancer protection some nutritionists are
now advising us to eat nine or 10 servings of fruit and vegetables
daily. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">One serving is equivalent to a glass of fresh juice, medium orange or 12 grapes.<br /><br /><span style="color: #bf9000;"><u><b>Vitamin D-rich dairy products</b></u></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Research
has shown that vitamin D can halt cell division and growth, offering
protection against the cell changes that lead to cancer. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The
richest sources are dairy products, eggs and oily fish. In the past,
dairy had been linked to breast and prostate cancer, but a recent review
of studies in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found low-fat
dairy products, such as skimmed milk, cottage cheese and yoghurt, may
protect against the disease.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Eat
more: Have a glass of skimmed milk a day and eat eggs several times a
week. vitamin D is also made by sunlight on your skin, so get at least
15 minutes of sunshine daily.<br /><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Good fats</b></u></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">High levels of estrogen can encourage breast cells to multiply, increasing the risk of cancer developing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Experts think that lots of what they call 'oestrogenunfriendly' fats in your diet could cut your risk.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">These include omega-3 fats found in oily fish and omega-9 fats found in olive oil.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Eat
more: Have one to two portions of oily fish such as salmon, mackerel or
fresh tuna (not tinned) per week, and cook with olive oil.<br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><u><b>Beans and pulses</b></u></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Beans
and pulses such as lentils and chickpeas are packed with cancer
protective fibre, as well as polyphenols and lignans which have been
found to limit a tumour's growth. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">A
study in Harvard tracked the diets of 90,000 nurses over eight years.
Those who ate beans two to four times a week had a 25 per cent lower
risk of tissue cancer than those who rarely ate them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Eat
more: Add a can of kidney beans or lentils to chillies, spaghetti
bolognaise, dals, soups and stews two to three times a week, and snack
on lentil based dips and sauces. </span></span></div>

<a data-ved="0CAUQjRw" href="http://www.buzzle.com/articles/natural-laxatives-as-a-cure-for-relieving-constipation.html" id="irc_mil" style="border: 0px none;"><img height="200" id="irc_mi" src="http://www.buzzle.com/img/articleImages/193702-35521-38.jpg" style="margin-top: 63px;" width="194" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Constipation
is an uncomfortable condition. <br />On the
other side of the healthy-unhealthy food spectrum, there are also some
popular foods that you should avoid if you want to stay away from
constipation. We give you 5 foods to exclude from your diet.<br /><br />Processed
food: Whether it is frozen foods or burgers and pizzas, it is going to
make your mornings hard to get through, literally. When food is
preserved and ready to eat, vital nutrients are drained out, plus the
ingredients used are cheap. For example, all purpose flour or maida is
used practically in all pizzas, breads and instant noodles.<br />Bottomline: Processed food has less fiber hence they linger in your system causing discomfort.<br /><br />Bakery
goodies: Nankhatais, kharis and tea biscuits are rich in sugar and fat.
They may go well with tea and coffee, but lack fiber. But there's a
solution to these good old treats, increase your fiber intake, and
balance it out.<br />Bottomline: Sugar may go straight to your thigh, but it can also be the cause of constipation.<br /><br />Red
Meat without supplementing meals with vegetables: If you consume pork
or beef regularly, without veggies on the side, you may have already
experienced constipation. Make it a habit to accompany this precious
chunk of meat with salad, cooked vegetables, and whole grain cereal;
something that is rich in fiber.<br />Bottomline: Guess how long it takes to digest meat? No, you're wrong, it takes 90 hours to partially digest meat.<br /><br />Caffeine:
So no one can give up coffee, black tea and colas. They give you the
much needed buzz to start your day and keep you going through strenuous
meetings, commutes, and just about everything else. Unhealthy dependency
aside, caffeine dehydrates the human body and dehydration is one of the
main causes of constipation.<br />Bottomline: If you're addicted to caffeine, it's better to cut down and supplement it with food rich in fiber.<br /><br />Oily
food: Chips and fast foods are tempting, even for those who are
determined to eat healthy. But the more oily and salty your food is, the
higher your chances of developing some digestive health issues as you
cross over from your 20s to the 30s. Foods that are deep fried and
soaked in oil like French fries slows down the digestive process.<br />Bottomline:
Fight your cravings and every time you feel tempted to order a round of
French fries make sure you drink enough water and eat enough veggies
before or after.</span></span></div>

bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. Consume
lots of melons the first day.If you limit your fruit consumption to
melons, you may lose over a kilo on the first day.<br /><br /><span style="color: blue;"><u>Day Two</u></span> – All
vegetables. Eat untilyou are stuffed with all the raw or cooked
vegetables of your choice. For your complex carbohydrates, you will
start day two with a large baked potato for breakfast. You may top the
potato with one pat of butter.</span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: magenta;"><u>Day Three</u></span> – A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice.<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;"><u>Day
Four</u></span> – Bananas and milk. Eat as many as eight bananas and drink three
glasses of milk combined with the special soup which may be eaten in
limited quantities.<br /><br /><span style="color: #674ea7;"><u>Day Five</u></span> – You will eat beef(Any meat item) and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef(Any meat item), Hamburger is OK.<br />Combine this with six whole tomatoes. Increase your water intake.</span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><u>Day Six</u></span> – Beef(Any meat item)and vegetables. Eat an unlimited amount of beef(Any meat item) and vegetables.</span></span></h3>

Day Seven</u></span> – Today your food intake will consist of brownrice, fruit juices and vegetables.<br /><br />The
next morning you will be 4-8 kgs lighter than one week ago. If you
desire further weight loss, repeat the programme again. You may repeat this
programme as often as you like,however, it is suggested that on the
diet you are allowed two glasses of white wine in addition to the
instructions on the programme. Under no circumstances are you to drink
any other alcoholic beverages with the exception of beer which is
allowed.<br /><br />Cream drinks are especially forbidden. You may have an
occasional cordial but you must always limit yourself to two drinks. If
you take wine, drink only wine that day. If you have beer, drink only beer
that day, etc. Alcohol adds empty calories to your diet. However, after
the first week it will help your digestion and settle your stomach.</span></span></h3>

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #990000;"><u>How it works :</u></span><br /><br /><u>Day
One</u> – you are preparing your system for the upcoming programme. Your
only source of nutrition is fresh or canned fruits. They provide
everything you could possibly want to sustain life except total balance
and variety.<br /><br /><u>Day Two</u> – starts with a fix of complex carbohydrates
coupled with an oil dose. This is taken in the morning for energy and
balance. The rest of day two consists of vegetables which are virtually
calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fibre.<br /><br /><u>Day Three</u>
– eliminates the potato because you get your carbohydrates from the
fruits. You system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds. You
will still have cravings which should start to diminish by day four.<br /><br /><u>Day
Four</u> – bananas, milk and soup sound the strangest and least desirable.
You probably will not eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there
for the potassium you have lost and the sodium you may have missed the
past three days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for sweets.<br /><br /><u>Day
Five</u> – Beef</span></span><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Any meat item)</span></span> <span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">and tomatoes. The beef</span></span><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Any meat item)</span></span> <span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">is for iron and proteins, the
tomatoes are for digestion and fibre. Lots and lots of water purifies
your system. You should notice colourless urine today. </span></span></h3>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The
prevalence of asthma worldwide is around 200 million with a mortality
of around 0.2 million per year according to a consensus statement
developed under the World Health Organisation - Government of India
Collaborative Programme (2004-2005). Though the prevalence is more in
the developed countries, the developing countries have a higher total
burden of the disease due to differences in population. In India, the
estimated burden of asthma is believed to be more than 15 million.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Facts about Asthma<br />The most common chronic disease among children, it currently affects 235 million people.<br />Symptoms may occur several times in a day or week in affected individuals.<br />Failure
to recognise and avoid triggers that lead to a tightened airway can be
life threatening and may result in an asthma attack, respiratory
distress and even death.<br />Through appropriate treatment the number of asthma related deaths can be reduced.<br />The
strongest risk factors for developing asthma are exposure to indoor
allergens such as house dust mites in bedding, carpets and stuffed
furniture; pollution and pet dander; outdoor allergens such as pollens
and moulds; tobacco smoke and chemical irritants in the workplace.<br />Asthma triggers can include cold air, extreme emotional arousal such as anger or fear, and physical exercise.<br /><br />Alternative treatments for Asthma<br />
Asthma
sufferers may lessen their need for chemical treatments prescription
medications (steroids) and inhalers through lifestyle and dietary
changes and nutritional supplements.<br />Avoid exposure to cigarette smoke, indoor and outdoor pollution, and common allergens such as dust.<br />Avoid
food additives and processed foods. The diet should emphasise whole,
organic foods as much as possible. Avoid artificial food additives,
flavourings, and sweeteners; fried foods; and pork.<br />Avoid
nitrates/nitrites and sulphites. Many asthma patients are sensitive to
these substances and should avoid foods containing such additives. This
may include deli meats and cheeses, hot dogs, bacon, wine and beer.<br />Include
a balance of aerobic exercise, resistance training, and stretching or
yoga in your workout routine. Try to avoid exercising in cold, dry air,
and always warm up with at least 10 minutes of lower-intensity exercise.<br />Supplement
with Omega-3s. Fish oil and flaxseed oil, both excellent sources of
Omega-3 fatty acids, may help decrease inflammation.<br />Get plenty of
antioxidants through diet or supplements. They decrease free radical
activity, which tends to stimulate inflammation.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">If you want to live a longer, healthier life,</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> dropping meat from your diet might be a good idea.<br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In
one of the largest studies conducted till date, it has been found that
vegetarians live longer than meat eaters. After following more than
70,000 men and women over six years, researchers have concluded that
those who followed vegetarian lifestyles enjoyed 12% lesser risk of
death than non-vegetarians.<br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The
participants were divided into five dietary groups — non-vegetarians,
semi-vegetarians, pescatarians, lacto-ovo-vegetarians and vegans. It was
found that people who are vegetarian tended to be older, more highly
educated and more likely to be married. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">They
were also more likely to drink less alcohol, smoke less, exercise more
and be thinner. According to researchers, all of these factors could
play a role in their lower risk of death.</span></span></div>

<a href="http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/10/15/sitting-for-long-periods-increases-risk-of-diabetes-heart-disease-and-death/" id="irc_mil" style="border: 0px none;"><img height="180" id="irc_mi" src="http://www.channelstv.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Sitting-down-300x270.jpg" style="margin-top: 164px;" width="200" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Frequent
fliers spend hours crouched in an airplane seat, hooked to a book or a
video, only to emerge and stand upright when the plane hits the ground.<br /><br />The
same situation applies to long distance train and bus travellers or if
you go on a trip in your car. So, it is imperative to move around
frequently and avoid sitting for hours in your seat to prevent blood
clots that can be dangerous and in some cases fatal.<br /><br />Sitting in
the same position for hours can cause blood clots in the legs that can
be fatal if not treated on time. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">DVT or deep vein
thrombosis, as it is called, is a blood clot that forms in the deep
veins of the leg or pelvis. Long hours of sitting can lead to such blood
clots which when they break free from their initial position can travel
through the bloodstream right up to the lungs where they become a
pulmonary embolism.<br /><br />A pulmonary embolism or PE is a blockage of
the main artery of the lung or one of its branches by a substance that
has travelled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream. This
blockage that may cause obstruction of the blood flow or oxygen flow
through the lungs can lead to a heart attack.<br /><br />Why the link between long travel hours and blood clots?<br /><br />"If
your body or any part of it is deprived of movement for a long time,
this inhibits blood circulation. If blood collects at one place in the
legs, the platelets tend to stick to each other, forming a clot.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In a research released in 2007, World Health
Organization (WHO) that examined the Global Hazards of Travel, found
that the risk of developing clots approximately doubles if you trip last
four hours or more.<br /><br />Tips to follow when you are travelling for long hours:<br /><br />-
When travelling, make it a routine to carry on with up-and-down
movements of the feet at the ankle joints. This encourages blood flow
and prevents stagnation.<br />- Stand up from your seat and move about the
flight every 30 minutes, or if you are driving on a long distance road
trip, take frequent breakes.<br />- It is also important to keep yourself appropriately hydrated by drinking a lot of water.<br />-
For people, who already have cardiac-related issues, they should always
meet a doctor before travelling and make sure they carry their
medicines along. </span></span></div>

<h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">How
to lower cholesterol is becoming a global concern given how adversely
it affects health. High cholesterol can cut down your lifespan due to
various conditions like heart attack, high blood pressure etc.<br /><br />Hence,
whether you were recently diagnosed with high cholesterol or have been
living with it for a while, your main goal for healthy living is to
control it. The good news is that you don't have to completely rely on
medicines and numerous prescriptions to lower your cholesterol; you can
lower your cholesterol level just by adopting a few changes in your
lifestyle. Follow these simple and effective techniques to
lower your cholesterol levels :</span><br /><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;"><u><b>Techniques to Lower Cholesterol # 1: Set a goal</b></u></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">Before
adopting the goal of lowering your cholesterol, check with your doctor
as to how much cholesterol level you need to get down. Lowering of the
cholesterol can depend on various factors like obesity, heart disease,
your current cholesterol level and smoking habits. Hence, voluntarily
don't take up goals, as this can lead to serious life-threatening
complications.<br /><span style="color: #0b5394;"><u><b><br />Techniques to Lower Cholesterol # 2: Increase physical activity</b></u></span><br /><br />Include
at least 30 minutes of exercise in your daily life.
Exercise is one of the best techniques to lower cholesterol. It also
helps to kick out stress, shed some kilos, boosts metabolism, kills some
calories, reduces the level of triglycerides, helps to achieve a
healthy weight and cuts down your risk for heart disease and diabetes.</span><br /><span style="color: #990000;"><u><br />Techniques to Lower Cholesterol # 3: Shed those extra pounds</u></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">Check
if you're obese or overweight using a BMI calculator. Obesity or being
overweight is very dangerous, as it stores fat in your body. Slimming
down is the best way to combat this problem if you are overweight. Don't
get fooled with quick weight loss or crash-diet program as it has
several health harming effects. Follow a decent healthy program laid
down by your dietician or your doctor to lower cholesterol by losing
some extra weight.<br /><span style="color: #a64d79;"><u><b><br /><span style="color: #351c75;">Techniques to Lower Cholesterol # 4: Fight cholesterol with beans</span></b></u></span><br /><br />Include
these nutritious and healthy beans in your diet at least 3-4 times a
week. Beans are the best weapons to fight cholesterol due to the
presence of water soluble fibre called pectin. This fibre binds onto
cholesterol and kicks it out of the body before causing any havoc in
your body.<br /><span style="color: #783f04;"><b><u><br />Techniques to Lower Cholesterol # 5: Walking is good for your heart</u></b></span><br /><br />If
you fail to match up time to go to a gym due to your hectic schedule,
then need not to worry, walking is one of the best form of
physical activity available-which is cheap and convenient. Skip your
vehicles and go walking to your near-by destination. Brisk walking even
for 20-40 minutes will help you drop your cholesterol level by 8.3
percent and also lower your heart disease risk.</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-ved="0CAgQjRwwAA" href="http://thedoctorsreport.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/health-benefits-of-alcohol-and-caffeine/" id="irc_mil" style="border: 0px none; clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="148" id="irc_mi" src="http://thedoctorsreport.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/coffee-and-alcohol1.jpg" style="margin-top: 176px;" width="200" /></a></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">With
growing awareness, people have become more health and beauty
conscious. In this aesthetic-loving age, it is very essential to let
people know that what they consider 'aesthetic' is also related to their
skin.<br /><br />Importantly, manifestations of your nutritional status as well as body's nutritional needs reflect on the skin's health.<br /><br />That's
why as per Priya Jain, Dietician, P D Hinduja National Hospital
& MRC, Mahim, Mumbai here is a list of five
foods that can harm your skin.<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000;"><u><span style="font-weight: normal;">Foods that disturb water balance</span></u></span><br />Dehydration
causes drying of the skin. Wrinkling is a common side effect of lack of
moisture in the skin. Dehydration and acne are interlinked because
drying of skin and dead skin cells coming together cause acne.<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000;"><u><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Excess salt</span></b></u></span><br />Excess
salt retains additional fluid in the body causing swelling and a puffy
look to the skin. The skin texture is spoilt on prolonged salt abuse.
Papads, pickles, salted foods, table salt, brined/canned food products
are the potential sources of salt to the body.<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000;"><u>Excess caffeine</u></span><br />Caffeine
is a known stimulant which increase the cortisol production in the body
and enhances the ageing process by thinning the skin. This dehydrates
the skin and even leads to wrinkling. In addition, caffeine is a
diuretic which further increases the risk of dehydration. So beware when
you decide to go for an additional helping of coffee, tea or chocolates
too!<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000;"><u>Alcohol</u></span><br />Alcohol inhibits the Anti-Diuretic Hormone
secretion thus causing dehydration. Furthermore, it also causes
vasodilatation, which then leads to excess water loss through the skin.
This is also known to be a contributing factor to acute phases of
psoriasis as per the American Academy of Dermatology.<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000;"><u>Foods with high glycemic load</u></span><br />These
foods cause drastic fluctuations in the blood sugar. This leads to
excess secretion of insulin and androgens during the high and low bouts
respectivel. A major reason to contribute to surplus sebum production,
enhanced skin cell division and aggregation of dead skin cells - leading
to acne.</span></span></h3>

<a data-ved="0CAgQjRwwAA" href="http://www.vadikherbs.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=15" id="irc_mil" style="border: 0px none;"><img height="200" id="irc_mi" src="http://www.vadikherbs.com/images/ghee.jpg" style="margin-top: 106px;" width="155" /></a><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Ghee
is mostly considered unhealthy (and is unhealthy when consumed without any control on quantity), but there are a few parameters that make
'pure ghee' healthy.<br /><br />"Pure ghee contains only those fatty acids
or saturated fats that are primarily (89%) short chain fatty acids,
unlike some other animal fats," says nutritionist, Pallavi from Evolve
Medspa. She lists out the health benefits of pure ghee. Let's have a
look.<br /><br />Before you indulge in pure ghee, here are the basic guidelines:<br /><br />- Consume pure ghee if you are free from cardiovascular diseases, are not overweight.<br />- Completely avoid ghee if you are obese.<br />- The recommended amount of fat consumed in the entire day is 10 to 15 grams per person.<br />
<br />So, is ghee healthy for you?<br /><br />Regular
consumption of pure ghee enhances physical and mental strength, and
keeps the body healthy. It also helps in taking out the impurities from
the body. It enhances eyesight, keeps muscles and tendons healthy.<br /><br />For people with cholesterol problems, ghee is a better option as compared to butter as pure ghee is lower in fat than butter.<br /><br />Because of lesser amount of fat in desi ghee, it is easier to digest.<br />
Pure ghee can last for a longer duration of time. It can be stored without refrigeration.<br />Some people believe that ghee can restore balance to the mind and enhance brain function.<br /><br />Ghee
also helps in stimulating the digestive system and hence also aids in
weight loss provided your diet is well balanced and you are exercising.<br /><br />It
is full of Vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins are fat-soluble,
meaning they have to be digested with other fat molecules in order for
these vitamins to make it into our bloodstream. Ghee has lots of dietary
fats (mostly saturated fats) that help our bodies absorb and make use
of these vitamins.<br /><br />Ghee is an excellent cooking medium because it
does not break down in high heat like many cooking oils do, resulting
in free radicals. Ghee has a high burning point, so it will neither
smoke nor burn when cooked.<br /><br />The body needs certain fats in its
diet in order to perform vital functions, including protecting the
stomach wall from digestive acids, building and strengthening cell
membranes and supporting nerve, skin and brain health. The fats in ghee
provide these benefits without any of the trans-fats, hydrogenated oils
or oxidized cholesterol of butter and other oils.<br /><br />Keep in mind,
that we are only attaching these benefits to pure homemade ghee made
with zero preservative or vegetable fats. Store-bought ghee or ghee
prepared with any artificial methods will not fit in the same category
as pure ghee.</span></span></h3>
