Keep Walking..... 


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

God created our body so well that he thought of even this.

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..

Hypertension, diabetes take a toll on Mumbaikars’ lifestyle

Mumbai: It's not just monsoon diseasesthatMumbaikars arefalling prey to. A study has found that the number of hypertension cases in the city registered in the January-April quarter have almost doubled from the same quarter in 2009. 

    A three-year report compiled by NGO Praja Foundation shows that hypertension is becoming a cause for concernfor citizens.Thedata hasbeen collected and presented in quarterwise distribution of registered cases for hypertension in state hospitals, municipal hospitals and municipal dispensaries.
    The data shows that in the period between January 2008 and April 2011, the first quarter of this year has seen the maximum number of hypertension cases. As many as 11,564 cases were registered between January 2011 and March 2011, as against 8,063 cases registered in the same quarter last year. The data shows there was a spike in hypertension cases between October 2010 and December 2010, when 9,737 cases were registered. 
    Diabetes cases, too, saw a sharp increase of 76%, with municipal dispen
saries reporting only 2,593 cases in 2008-09, as against 4,536 cases in 2010-11. 
    NitaiMehta,founder-trusteeof the NGO, said that it is time the government takes note of these diseases and does something to curb them. "If the state and civic bodies had kept proper track of such trends, perhaps pragmatic solutions might have emerged. What is worse is that the periodicity of the diseases has also continued exactly in the same manner each year," Mehta said. 
    The BMC has not been completely oblivious to the rise in lifestyle diseases. Officials said that they planned to address the problem of these diseases 
in 24 dispensaries. A civic official said, "We have noticed that 75% of people suffer from lifestylediseases.Oncethe dispensaries are set up, we can identify patients and send them for treatment early." 
    Dr Altaf Patel, consultant physician, Jaslok Hospital, said that these diseases were initially limited to the rich section of society. "It is now changing andwecannotcallthem only lifestyle diseases anymore. Apart from changes in lifestyle, studies have also shown that groundwater which contains high levels of arsenic results in diabetes. Lead also results in high blood pressure and intellectual backwardness," he said.


BODY B A S I C S ‘l don’t believe in starving, to be slim’

For Neetu Chandra being fit is all about eating right and working out


MY EXERCISE REGIME 
It's a mix of cardio, weights and kick boxing throughout the week and a nice run on a Sunday morning to top it all off. I also play basketball whenever I get a chance. I've always been particular about my fitness and I owe it all to my sports background; I've played state level basketball and represented India at Taekwondo on an International level. Kathak is also another way for me to stay fit, it requires immense discipline. 
MY DIET 

I don't believe in starving oneself to be slim, I believe in the concept of being fit, and that's why I eat right and work out regularly. I don't deny myself — I eat everything that my heart desires but in proper proportions. I've never fol
lowed a diet in my life, denying your body of certain nutrients does more harm than good. 
MY PROBLEM AREAS 
Honestly, I don't have any problem areas as such. But like most women I have to work harder on my lower body to ensure that it stays toned. 
MY STRENGTHS 

My stamina, which is a result of regular exercise. The simplest forms of exercise can be very beneficial, especially for build
ing up stamina. Running, jogging or simply walking increases the stamina gradually; it helps fight off numerous health issues related to obesity and slows down the ageing process, therefore keeps you feeling younger. Also the fact that I keep my mind free from stress helps me stay fit. 
    As told to Debarati S Sen 

MY IDOLS 
Celeb Male 
Salman Khan for the way he's managed to stay so fit over the years and also his trait of helping others with their fitness as well. 
Celeb Female 
Shilpa Shetty because she has the hottest body in the industry


REVIEW ON PINK LOTION

So I took it back to the old school and used pink lotion to set my twist out.... Every time I twist my hair, I use different products....and everytime I get a different result. The butters  give me a dry look, the oils give me a shine but no bounce, but this gave me shine, softness, and moisture....I will be using this again. I now have to work on styling my hair with the twist out. The longer it gets the harder it is to get big hair.
