" WATER " - a medicine itself..!!!

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases: Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases. METHOD OF TREATMENT 1.. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water 2.. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute 3.. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal. 4.. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours 5.. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day. 6.. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life. The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/ reduce main diseases: 1.. High Blood Pressure - 30 days 2.. Gastric - 10 days 3.. Diabetes - 30 days 4.. Constipation - 10 days 5.. Cancer - 180 days 6.. TB - 90 days 7.. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards - daily. This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times. It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active. This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ...not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain... For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.

Knowledge - about blood pressure

Garlic: Garlic is very effective in lowering blood pressure.Take 2-3 raw garlic cloves a day. It slows down the pulse rate and relieves the symptoms of dizziness, numbness and shortness of breath and formation of gas within the digestive system. 
   

Allicin from Garlic Boosts Flow of Blood to Protect the Heart

By David Gutierrez

(Natural News) The chemical that causes garlic to give you bad breath may be the same one that protects your heart, according to a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Allicin is produced when garlic is chopped, crushed or chewed. It further breaks down in the body into a variety of sulfur-containing compounds, some of which cause a strong odor typically associated with garlic breath. But hydrogen sulfide can also have a relaxing effect

on blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and decreasing the risk of heart attacks. Lower blood pressure also allows the blood to carry more oxygen to the body's organs, improving overall health.

Researchers took blood vessels from rats and immersed them in a solution of crushed garlic juice. They observed a 72 percent reduction of tension in the blood vessels. In addition, red blood cells that were exposed to small quantities of crushed garlic juice were observed to start giving off hydrogen sulfide immediately. The researchers found that the chemical reaction causing the emission of hydrogen sulfide appeared to take place mostly on the surface of the cells.

"Our results suggest garlic in the diet is a very good thing," said lead researcher David Kraus. "Certainly in areas where garlic consumption is high, such as the Mediterranean and the Far East , there is a low incidence of cardiovascular disease."

Garlic is also known for its anti-cancer abilities. Used topically, crushed garlic eats away cancer tumors on the skin. Used internally, garlic halts the growth of cancer tumors throughout the body, functioning as a natural, non-prescription "chemotherapy" agent that has no negative side effects.

Garlic is strongest in its raw state. The longer garlic is cooked, the more of its healing photochemical are destroyed. To use garlic medicinally, use small amounts of it raw, or cook it minimally. From Garlic Boosts Flow of Blood to Protect the Heart

Exercising in pregnancy boosts baby’s IQ

Burning Fat While Expecting And 9 Months Of Breastfeeding Make A Clever Child, Say Experts

 Mothers who exercise during pregnancy are helping to boost their child's IQ, according to research by American psychologists.
    In a challenge to the conventional wisdom that intelligence is 80% inherited, Richard Nisbett, a psychologist and father of two, argues that recent findings point to a pivotal role for mothers. Fathers, whether absent or doting, have relatively little influence over their offspring's intelligence.
    In a new book, 'Intelligence and How To Get It', Nisbett highlights the important part the mother plays in shaping her children's ability to learn and reason, starting shortly after conception. "Children whose mother exercised 30 minutes a day score around eight points higher on standard IQ tests than children whose mothers were more sedentary," he said last week. "breastfeeding for up to nine months may increase IQ by as much as six points."
    Previous generations of mothers were encouraged to avoid doing much exercise after the first three months of pregnancy. The latest research suggests that using light weights, stretching and even running can be beneficial to some, though not all.
    Official advice in Britain is that the more active and fit most women are during pregnancy, the more easily they will adapt to their changing shape and weight gain. It will also help them to cope with labour. "Exercising large muscle groups increases the growth of neurons and adds to the blood supply of the brain," writes Nisbett. Exercise and breastfeeding combined, he says, will raise a typical child's IQ to about 114, 14 points above average.
    Nisbett also argues that the way mothers talk to their children can help to increase their IQ. He encourages parents to ask questions to which they already know the answers and, if necessary, explain how they know them. This is said to encourage children to seek answers to their own questions.
    Nisbett praises middle-class families in particular for setting what he calls "anticipation exercises", in which children are asked to make predictions, such as where a submerged duck will surface in a pond. He also says that children who successfully complete a task should be praised for their hard work rather than be called clever, because hard work is something over which they have control.
    His ideas are catching on. In Texas, mothers are being taught how to create an "educationally rich" atmosphere at home for their children, especially during the summer holidays. Nisbett says the choice of school also helps. He praises Kipp, or Knowledge Is Power, the fastexpanding private school chain in the United States, which trains poor urban children and their mothers to study 12 hours a day and take only short holidays. Kipp IQ scores match those of expensive private schools. SUNDAY TIMES

Walnuts in diet may help elderly improve memory

WASHINGTON: Adding some walnuts to an otherwise healthy diet may help older people

improve memory and behavioural skills, according to an animal model study.Walnuts contain polyphenols and other anti-oxidants and essential fatty acids. Polyphenols are the most abundant group of plant phenolic compounds, known to provide much of the flavour, colour and taste to fruits

, vegetables and seeds.

The study was conducted by researchers with the Human Nutrition Research Centre on Ageing (HNRCA) at Tufts University in Boston.

The ageing brain undergoes many changes resulting in altered or impaired neuronal functioning. In aged rodents, these impairments are seen as poor performance on age-sensitive tests of balance, coordination, and "spatial" working memory.

For the study, weight-matched, aged rats were randomly assigned to one of four diet groups. For eight weeks, the rats were fed special chow mixes that contained either two, six or nine percent walnuts - or no walnuts - before undergoing motor and memory tests.

For comparison, the six percent walnut study diet is equivalent to a human eating about seven to to nine walnuts daily. That counts as both a two-ounce equivalent from the "meat and beans group" and two teaspoons toward a daily allowance of dietary oil, said a HNRCA release.

The study found that in aged rats, the diets containing two or six percent walnuts were able to improve age-related motor and cognitive shortfalls, while the nine percent walnut diet also improved memory.

Looking to shed a few pounds before the summer? Losing weight is not only great for your health -- it's also good for the environment.

The following suggestions will help reduce your waistline and your impact on the planet.

• Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and other real foods. High amounts of salt, sugar, and other unhealthy ingredients can hide in packaged foods. In fact, some flavored yogurts can contain more sugar than ice cream, according to Dara O'Rourke at GoodGuide, a database that can help you find healthy and environment-friendly foods. Manufacturing, packaging, and transporting processed foods to the store typically requires a large amount of energy and resources.


• Stay away from high-fructose corn syrup. It can make you fat and is linked to diabetes. Massive amounts of fertilizers are used to grow corn, and these chemicals are eroding America's soil and polluting the Gulf of Mexico.


• Choose lean protein such as chicken, eggs, sustainable seafood, and legumes. It's not high in saturated fat and fills you up so you're not looking for your next meal too quickly. Red meat, in particular, takes a huge toll on the environment. Raising livestock is one of the most significant contributors to a long list of environmental problems from climate change to deforestation to water pollution.


• Replace high-calorie soft drinks with filtered tap water. Obviously, anything you can do to cut calories is a win for your body. How does it benefit the earth? Fewer resources are needed to make bottles and cans and ship them to stores. It also puts less pressure on landfills.


• Cook your own meals instead of eating out at restaurants. It's harder to control portions when you go out to eat, and you have no control over whether healthy ingredients are used to prepare your meal. Besides, restaurants end up wasting a lot of perfectly good food.


• Walk and bike more. Exercise is a major component of any healthy weight loss program. You'll burn more calories and less gas by leaving your car at home.


• Don't deprive yourself. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a little bit of fair-trade dark chocolate. Studies show that the antioxidants present in dark chocolate can help lower blood pressure. Fair-trade cocoa farmers are paid fair wages, which allows them to take good care of their land.

Simply Connect, Don’t Compare And Contrast

THE SPEAKING TREE

I am ready for my quiet sitting time in the morning. This is the time when ideas, impressions, new possibilities, even pieces of dreams from unknown sources come visiting. Today though, they seem to fit together, creating a cohesive story that unrolls itself before me.
    We are about a hundred or so in number, sitting together and ready for the satsang of this cleanshaven white-clad teacher.
    He began: Try to say 'complimentary religion' rather than comparative religion. Compare is often followed by the word contrast; there is nothing to compare or contrast. Do not study other traditions to find holes in their belief systems. Honour the strengths of your own tradition. And if you notice similarities with others, be gracious enough to acknowledge and appreciate the gifts of other traditions. Cure yourself of thinking that you've got it right and others are on a 'wrong' path.
    Familiarise yourself with the mystics of all spiritual paths; Kabir, Rumi, Tukaram, Julian of Nowrich, Hassids, Sufis. Be conversant with the Bible and see how Jesus tries to spread love, and cut across discriminative barriers; reflect on the Bhagavad Gita and the call to a life of sattva and selfless action; explore the intricate web of the Quran and recognise invitations to mercy and justice; appreciate the stress on self-work and enlightenment in the Dhammapada.
    Consider all these as intimations of a larger implicit order; parts of an unseen wholeness. At all times look for 'invitations' — what are the divine messengers inviting us humans to think, to be, to do? No traditions, if you've studied them with sensitivity and understanding, incite their followers to violence. Abstain from defiling any tradition by placing its name before such words as terrorism or bomb.
    We were a deeply silent crowd — a mix of young and old, ordinarily dressed, as well as saffronclad, robed, bearded, turbaned; of priests, nuns, intellectuals of various shades. Yet the teacher addressed us as if individually, with integrity, intensity, and uncommon humility.
    Enigmatically, he lifted a pair of scissors and a paper punch in each hand: Strive not to cut asunder nor punch holes. Placing them down, he picked a paper clip and stapler and added: Try rather to be a connector, a uniter. Steer clear of a worldview of distancing, division and dominance. Do not subscribe to any ideology of hate. If you set up TV channels, do so not to malign others with voices that sound fierce and uncompromising — or worse — reas o n abl e - s o u n d i n g yet slyly malicious. Use the power of the media to spread the message of peace and real community.
    All spiritual traditions care as much for the soul as for the soil and the social, because both agriculture and culture have their common root in the Latin cultus meaning worship. If your benefactors or flock are ready to raise funds, use the money, time or attention not simply for proselytising but for building schools, hospitals, homes for the aged, and hospices.
    In your prayers, while wishing happiness, health and prosperity for your family, friends and colleagues, raise the bar higher to include the rest of the six billion of the earth who breathe the same air, and whose blood runs the same colour as yours.
    He ended: Think at all times how to remain centred, sane and intelligent. One's efforts should be directed towards acquiring enlightenment, refining desire and will by purging them of selfishness, by learning to endure pain, getting rid of hate, cultivating love. Turn to the side where the light is.
    The writer is a Mumbai-based consultant and yoga therapist. E-mail: orientations@vsnl.net 

A song a day keeps the doctor away

Singing has always uplifted people’s spirits. But could it also be good for their physical health? Norbert Rego explores

  ALL over the world, people are re-discovering the innate benefits of singing. From reducing stress levels, curing depression to strengthening community bonding — there’s nothing better than humming a song. Songs have carried, and still carry, culture: wisdom, knowledge, history and the joys, struggles and sorrows of the people. Singing promotes health: breathing, circulation and digestion. Research has identified several benefits of regular singing, including examples of people who claim that it helped them recover from strokes and heart attacks.
    There’s nothing like singing for generating a feel good factor, which can have a tangible impact on your sense of well-being. Avinash Kumar 28, a BPO manager in Delhi, was on the verge of losing his job and went into severe depression. Apart from dieting and exercise, doctors advised him to listen to music for half-an-hour in the morning and another half-an-hour in the evening, basically to make him feel better. “I was asked to listen to the sitar and Indian ragas something from which I have benefited greatly. Today, my outlook towards life is positive,” says Kumar.
    Dr Jitendra Nagpal, senior consultant, psychiatry, Moolchand Medcity, New Delhi opines, “The health benefits of singing are both physical and psychological. Singing has physical benefits. Being an aerobic activity, it increases oxygenation in the blood stream. It also exercises major muscle groups in the upper body. It bears psychological benefits too by reducing stress through the action of the endocrine system, which is linked to our sense of emotional well-being. Psychological benefits are also evident when people sing together by strengthening community bonding.”
    Singing activates the relationship bond between loved ones too. “Sound waves have a positive effect on our nervous system and a therapeutic effect on negative emotions like anger, anxiety, psychosomatic problems and depression. Therefore, music therapy is advised in the case of these problems to achieve triple H — health, happiness and harmony in life,” adds Dr Nagpal.
Music is also rooted in diverse religions. Dr H K Chopra, a Delhi-based cardiologist affirms, “Human beings originated from sound. All the five sensations — touch, hear, smell, vision and taste have their primary component in the sound. We acquire optimum health when there’s a balance between the rhythm of the sound inside and outside us. Singing is the food for our soul.” Sound also benefits children. Children subjected to natural sounds always have better health as opposed to those subjected to harsh traffic sounds. The latter usually suffer from high blood pressure and hearing nerve deafness. “When pregnant women are subjected to music therapy, child growth is normal and intelligence is high. Reflexes of comatose patients too respond positively to music therapy in ICUs. By singing, you enliven your prana (life force), tejas (glow), and ojas (intelligence), thereby living up to your full potential,” concludes Dr Chopra.

Smokers increase colon cancer risk by eating fruit, vegetables

THE HAGUE: Smokers may increase their chances of contracting colon cancer by eating fruit and vegetables, according to a new Europe-wide scientific study released on Wednesday.
    A high intake of fruit and vegetables appeared to reduce the risk among non-smokers but seemed to have the reverse effect on smokers, the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) said.
    “People who eat 600 grams or more vegetables and fruit a day appear to have a 20 to 25 per cent lower chance of developing colon cancer than those who eat 220 grams or less,” researchers said. “On the contrary, such consumption appears to increase the chances of colon cancer in smokers.”
    The study questioned about five lakh people in 10 European countries about their eating and smoking habits and studied them for 8.5 years.
    The article, published in the American Journal for Clinical Nutrition, said that substances within vegetables and fruits may even increase the carcinogenic potential of tobacco smoke.
    “This study is the first to examine the effects of fruit and vegetable consumption while making a distinction between smokers and non-smokers,” said RIVM official Hans Verhagen. AFP

Lack of vitamins A and C could raise asthma risk

LONDON: A diet low in vitamins A and C could raise the risk of asthma, says a new study by British scientists.
    A Nottingham Universityled team reviewed 40 studies carried out over the past 30 years, and found that people with a low intake of vitamin C – found in fruit and vegetables – had a 12 per cent increased risk of asthma.
    The raised risk was less clear cut for vitamin A – found in cheese, eggs and oily fish – but there was still a significant association. While they were unable to put an exact figure on this group, the scientists noted that those with severe asthma consumed only half the recommended intake.
    To reach the conclusion, researchers analysed relevant reports on both children and adults published since 1980.
    “Our findings indicate that low levels of vitamin C intake – and, to a lesser extent, vitamin A – are consistently associated with asthma risk to a degree that, if causal, would be sufficient to be clinically relevant,” lead researcher Dr Jo Leonardi-Bee wrote in the Thorax journal.
