The Miracle of Green Tea

Any other food or drink reported to have as many health benefits as green tea?Today, scientific research in both Asia and the west is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. For example, in 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.
To sum up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful:

*
* cancer * rheumatoid arthritis * high cholesterol levels * cariovascular disease * infection
*
impaired immune function

Other Benefits
New evidence is emerging that green tea can even help dieters. In November, 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo.
Green tea can even help prevent tooth decay! Just as its bacteria-destroying abilities can help prevent food poisoning, it can also kill the bacteria that causes dental plaque. Meanwhile, skin preparations containing green tea - from deodorants to creams - are starting to appear on the market.



How to Brew a Cup of Green Tea
Producing the perfect cup of green tea is a tricky process. If not handled properly, those same polyphenols that provide health benefits can ruin the flavor, making the tea taste "gassy." It's particularly important not to overbrew. While it's best to follow the manufacturer's instructions for each variety of green tea, here are some general instructions:

* Use one tea bag, or 2 - 4 grams of tea,* per cup.
* Fill a kettle with cold water and bring to a boil.
* After unplugging the kettle, allow it to stand for up to 3 minutes.
* Pour the heated water over the tea bag or tea, and allow it to steep for up to 3 minutes. If using a tea bag, remove the bag.
* Allow the tea to cool for three more minutes.

*One to two teaspoons, depending on the variety of green tea you are brewing.

Toothache Home Remedies

The agony of a toothache can never be forgotten by anyone who has suffered from it. In this case, as in many others, prevention is better than cure.

Causes and Symptoms For Toothache :

Tooth decay due to bad oro-dental hygiene or excessive intake of junk food, candy, soft aerated drinks, cakes and pastries, etc, will lead to the erosion of the enamel of the teeth, and this ultimately results in a toothache. A toothache can be mild, only occurring when eating something hot or cold, or it can be sharp, shooting, throbbing­this depends on the extent to which the nerve is exposed and is being irritated

Natural Home Remedies to Cure the Toothache or to Getting Relief from Toothache.

• Clove oil is specific for this problem. One may not have clove oil at home. In that case, powder some cloves very fine and make a strong decoction (literally a concentrate). Soak a cotton wool swab in this, place it on the hurting tooth, and very gently clamp your jaws tight. The medicament will reach the injured surface and soothe the pain.
• Take a spoonful of banyan-tree (stem) sap. Mix it with honey, apply on the gums and leave it for 2-3 minutes. Then gargle. Do this twice a day.
• A spoonful of fresh onion juice, made from spring onions, old white onions, or onion flowers, is beneficial. However, a mixture made from fresh onions and onion flowers has more medicinal value. The fresh onions and the extract from the flowers are rich in sulphur compoupds which are bactericidal. Dip a swab of cottonwool in the fresh juice, and then' plug the 'complaining' tooth with it. It is a little pungent and smelly, but will disinfect the inflamed tooth. Gargle with warm water.This will helps to get rid of toothache.
• For those who have access to cashe. trees. Chew 1-2 cashew leaves and let tpe juice remain in the mouth for 2-3 minutes. Then spit it out and gargle with plain water. This relieves toothache, but does not cure the cause of the toothache.
• Crush 2-3 cloves and fry them in a spoonful of coconut oil. Remove them before they are burnt. Powder and apply them on the tooth. This will helps to get rid of toothache.
• Boil half a teaspoon or a small piece of asafoetida in a cupful of water and gargle with it 2-3 times a day. Remove the piece, which will have softened, and place it in the cavity of the inflamed tooth. Keep it there for as long as you comfortably can, then remove it by gargling with warm water. This will helps to get rid of toothache.
• Herbal tea made from fresh mango flowers acts as an astringent, soothes inflammation and relieves pain. Use as a mouthwash, but do not drink it as a tea.
• A tooth powder made of burnt mango leaves is beneficial in relieving toothache.
• Grate and powder nutmeg fine. Add one-fourth of a teaspoon of this powder to a teaspoon of warm mustard, sesame or, coconut oil. Soak a cotton wool swab in this and place it on the hurting tooth. Keep it for a while and then remove it. Gargle with warm water. Nutmeg has a narcotic action, therefore this should be done only once a day for 1 to 2 days. Consult a dentist if there is no relief. Over dosage is dangerous as individual reactions vary and may lead to toxic effects-hall ucination, restlessness, convulsions, etc.
• Powder fine green cardamom seeds, dried ginger and liquorice separately. Take a pinch of each, and make a paste with a few drops of honey. Apply it on the surface of the painful tooth. Leave it there for a few minutes and then wash it down with water.
• Fry a teaspoon of cloves in mustard/coconut/sesame oil. Remove the cloves from the oil and powder them. Apply it on the affected tooth. This is good as a gum massage too.

Lets say you eat two slices of bread and then
a slice of fruit

As fruits digests faster than bread, the slice of fruits digest quickly and ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but its passage is blocked by the bread which takes longer to digest….

Fruits 2

Fruits should be taken in empty stomach……
not as a deserted meal as is often done.

If you eat fruit like that it will also serve a major role to detoxify your system, supplying with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities

Fruits

We all think that eating means simply buying fruits, cutting it and just popping into our mouths

YOU WILL BE MUCH MORE BENEFITED IF YOU KNOW HOW TO EAT?

HEADACHE: Eat 10-12 almonds, the equivalent of two aspirins, for a migraine headache. Almonds are far less likely to upset the stomach.

HICCUPS: Only 2 remedies have I ever know to actually work. The first listed makes the most sense, since a hiccough is simply a spasm of the diaphragm, and you need to disrupt this spasm. The second offers no rhyme or reason, but works nonetheless.

• Breath in as deeply as you can, then exhale as hard as you can; repeat 10 times; when exhaling the last time, keep the air pushed out, not taking another breath for as long as you can stand. This normally works the first try, but repeat if necessary. Be sure to sit down when doing this.
• This is a remedy only feasible when sitting at a bar. Have the bartender fill a small glass with club soda. Light a match and drop it, then drink the water quickly (being careful not to drink the match). It works, but I don't know why!
• Drink 1/2 glass water, slowly.
• Keep a tsp. of sugar in your month and suck slowly.
• Suck 2-3 small pieces of fresh ginger.
• Take a large mouthful of water with out swallowing, plug both ears, and slowly begin to swallow the water. Unplug your ears and you're hiccup free! (Submitted by Mrs T. Falkmann)
• Eat a heaping teaspoon of peanut butter all at once. (Submitted by Tracy Pletcher)

HICKEY:

• Coat area liberally with lotion. Rub with the back of a cold spoon vigorously for as long as you can stand to, changing out spoon for new cold one every 10 minutes. Recommended time for this treatment is 45-60 minutes. Why it works: a hickey is a bruise; the discoloration of a bruise is caused by blood accumulating under the skin from broken capillaries; this remedy breaks up the old blood so it can be reabsorbed by the body more quickly, therefore diminished the discoloration.
• Rub white toothpaste over the hickey, allow to dry, and later, wipe it off with a warm facecloth. After a few applications, the hickey will be faded. Do not use gel toothpaste. (Submitted by Hot Rod Anne.)

INSECT BITES: Mix water with cornstarch into a paste and apply. This is effective in drawing out the poisons of most insect bites and is also an effective remedy for diaper rash.

MORNING SICKNESS: Mix 1 tsp. each fresh juice of mint and lime, and 1 Tbls. honey. Take 3 times a day.

MOSQUITO BITES: Apply lime juice diluted with water on bites with cotton ball.

OILY SKIN: For oily skin, mix 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal, 1 egg white, 1 Tbls. lemon juice, and 1/2 cup mashed apple into a smooth paste. Apply to face and leave on 15 minutes. Rinse.

OVERWEIGHT: Effective at getting rid of fat, drink up to 3 cups of green tea daily. Regular tea can also be used with a lesser effect.

PAIN RELIEVER: Mix 3 Tbls. of honey in boiled water and drink. Honey has natural pain-relieving powers.

SMELLY FEET: Soak feet in strong tea for 20 minutes every day until the smell disappears. To prepare your footbath, brew two tea bags in 2 1/2 cups of water for 15 minutes and pour the tea into a basin containing two liters of cool water.

SMOKING HABIT: Lick a little salt with the tip of your tongue whenever you feel the urge to smoke. This is said to break the habit within 1 month.

SORE THROAT: Mix 1 tsp. lime juice and 1 Tbls. honey. Swallow tiny amounts slowly 2-3 times a day.

SPLINTERS:

• Lay scotch tape over the splinter and pull off.
• Soak the area in vegetable oil for a few minutes before removing with tweezers.

STOMACH ACHE: A simple cure for a stomachache is to dissolve 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon in 1 cup warm water, cover and let sit for 15 minutes, then drink it like tea. This remedy can also ease diarrhea and flatulence.

STOMACH ACIDITY:

• Drink coconut water 3-4 times a day.
• Have a plateful of watermelon and/or cucumber every hour.

SUNBURN: Mix 2 tsp. tomato juice and 1/4 cup buttermilk. Apply to affected area. Rinse after 1/2 hour.

VARICOSE VEINS: Take 2-3 tsp. black strap molasses orally daily. This also treats all kinds of circulatory ailments.

VOMITING AND NAUSEA:

• Sucking a piece of ice controls vomiting.
• Eat 1/2 tsp. ground cumin seeds.
• Cinnamon and sliced ginger work by interrupting nausea signals sent from the stomach to the brain. If you are an herbal tea drinker, simply sprinkle cinnamon on the tea and drink. To make ginger tea, simmer a few slices of ginger in hot tea water.

WARTS: Try taping a slice of garlic to the wart. Be sure to first protect the surrounding skin with petroleum jelly.

WEAK NAILS: To strengthen and shine nails, combine 2 tsp. salt, 2 tsp. castor oil, and 1 tsp. wheat germ oil and mix thoroughly. Pour into bottle. Shake before using. To use, rub a small amount into your nails. Leave on 3-5 minutes and tissue off. Follow up with more plain castor oil, if desired.

WRINKLES & SKIN FRESHENER:

Dry Skin Care

Dry skin has been around for many years affecting a wide range of people with different ethnic backgrounds and lifestyles. It does not matter who you are, what you do, we all have in some part of our lives been victims of dry skin.

Dry skin usually occurs on our hands, sides of our abdomen, and knees. It is usually common when the humidity level drops, especially in winter months. There can also be some hereditary or genetic problems which cause dry skin. Dry skin care is important as it can lead to other types of diseases as well, much more severe inflammation of the skin.

The best few things a person may be able to do with ease is to take showers or baths that are no more than 10 minutes each in lukewarm water. Application of moisturizer right after towel drying yourself from the shower is a key factor in dry skin care. Using the proper moisturizer, body soap, and hand soap have a major role that they play on our skins.

Some soaps have too many different types of oils for our skin type, so it is necessary to find the right one which gives us the best result. Certain soaps may leave our skin dry if they contain not enough oils, and some soaps may have too many oils and block our pores from oxygen. It is important to have a variety readily available at your hand for the current situation you are in. Heavier creams are more suitable in the winter times, as light lotions are important in the summer time.

Dry skin care can also be helped by using mineral water instead of tap water as some deposits in tap water may be damaging to your already dry skin. Applying a light mist of mineral water on your face and lightly patting it dry will show improvements instantly. The need of gentle cleaning is important, but there needs to be careful protection. Touching your face gently as well as handling it is one of the most important things any one can do to help caring for dry skin.

Role Of Nutrients In Hair Growth

Hormones and Vitamins play an important role in the Hair growth. Hair consists of a pigment called “Melanin” which also occurs in the skin of human beings. This pigment is responsible for the dark nature of the skin and hair. In Young people, hair has large number of melanin pigments which leads to Dark nature of the hair and with the increase of the age, the no. of melanin pigments decreases, leading to whitening of the hair in old People. In older people, the follicles produce thin and long hair, and also sometimes also do not produce any hair. This is the cause for the Baldness in old people.

Alcohol effects hair growth, i.e. Alcoholics have poor hair growth or they experience hair loss due to malnutrition.

The Essential mineral for the growth hair is - Zinc (Zn) which is responsible for hair growth and also prevents hair from becoming Greyish in nature. Hormones and vitamins also have an essential role in hair growth - Androgens are helpful in hair growth and also helps in Strengthening of Hair Shaft but are present in different ratio in men and women.

The Female hormones called Oestrogens decreases the growth of hair during the growth of the individual. During Pregnancy there is difference in hair growth as blood cntains more amount of Oestrogens at that time.

The effect of Androgens in male is different in many people, that is the reason some people do not get beard and hair on the chest upto a certain age of above 25 and a few get at an age of near 20.
Vitamin B - Panthenol Helps in maintaining the growth of hair and also contributes to the elastic nature and strength of the hair. Steroids taken by Asthma patients through inhalation does not effect the hair growth, but if taken orally, will slow down the hair growth.

Finally, Hormones are genetically produced and are determined and they help in growth of the hair.

What is Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a substance that is produced from the liver and found in certain foods. It is specifically needed to make vitamin D along with some other important hormones, as well as to build cell walls, and creating a specific type of salt, bile salt, which helps in digesting fat. Our bodies can produce enough to keep us from digesting our food okay, but it is hard to avoid it since many foods readily available today contain it. One thing that psychology and science has taught us is that too much of anything is a bad thing, and that applies with cholesterol as well.

It can be a negative thing if too much is absorbed that it can circulate in the blood stream. If the cholesterol level in the blood gets high, they tend to clog the blood stream which increases risks and sometimes is the reason behind heart disease and strokes. We make too much cholesterol if we eat too much saturated fat, the fats found in animal based foods as well as diary products. Along with the intake, we produce a good sum of cholesterol from our own liver.

There are a total of two different types of cholesterol, and unlike what we may normally think, not all cholesterol is harmful to our bodies. Low-density lipoprotein is the bad type of cholesterol which may clog up blood vessels which in return increases your risk for heart diseases. The second type of cholesterol is high-density lipoprotein which is a good type of cholesterol since it clears the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol out of the blood stream and reduces the overall risk for strokes and heart diseases.

Cholesterol is a type of a lipid which is commonly found in many food sources, especially animal sources. Our bodies produce nearly 1,000 milligrams a day, and we consume many milligrams from the foods we eat daily. It had to be combined with specific proteins in order to be transferred throughout the body, which in return starts blocking those blood streams. Nearly a quarter to a third of the amount of cholesterol is high-density, which also carries cholesterol straight back to the liver so that it can be processed again and sent back out.

LDL or Bad Cholesterol Level

Low-density lipoproteins are considered as bad cholesterol which circulates throughout the blood streams and they slowly build up within the inner walls of the arteries that connect to the heart and brain. When these low density lipoproteins are combined with other substances, they often form plaque, which can be a thick and hard deposit that can narrow down arteries and make them less flexible. Along with the loss in flexibility, there is a loss in the flow of the blood. This condition is more commonly known as atherosclerosis. When a person is suffering from atherosclerosis, a clot can form and block the narrow arteries which can result in a stroke or even a heart attack.

The levels of low density lipoproteins are better when they are lower, the lower they are, the lower the risk of having a stroke or heart attack is. Overall, there are five categories that the levels fall into, optimal which is less than 100mg/dL, 100 to 129 mg/dL is considered as Near Optimal or Above Optimal, 130 to 159 mg/dL is considered to be Borderline High, 160 to 189 mg/dL is considered as having a High LDL Level, anything above 190 mg/dL falls under something that is Very High.

There are many other risk factors when it comes to heart disease and strokes which can help determine the LDL level of a person as well as give the person a proper and appropriate fitting treatment specifically just for them. A healthy level for one may not always be the same healthy for another friend or person. It is extremely important to be honest and open with your doctors and discuss all available treatments, the differences between levels, and the best plan that works for you overall.

There are many doctors that help profile your cholesterol level which may give you a great starting point as to learning about what you can do to prevent and treat yourself if your LDL cholesterol level is specifically high. Doctors can provide a report with information that you need to fully understand in order to maintain and manage your cholesterol level, the different health risks that may affect you and the available treatments that are open to you

HDL or Good Cholesterol Levels

HDLs are the smallest lipoprotein particles, however highest proportion of protein makes it dense for the blood. There is a group of lipoproteins which is responsible for the transportation of cholesterol in the blood. Therefore for a healthy, HDL carries about thirty percent of the blood. Their job is to collect the fat on the walls of the arteries, so that it can be excreted.

It is assumed that cholesterol from arteries can be removed by HDL, and send to the liver for reutilization. This is the only reason that makes HDL good cholesterol. Heart diseases are protected by the HDL due to their good nature. Since they act as the barrier for cardiovascular diseases, therefore decrease in HDL may make the human health vulnerable to heart diseases.

HDL level in men is much lower as compared to women; also they are small in size and with lower cholesterol content. This increases the chances for man to have cardiovascular diseases than women. Besides heart low HDL levels also affect the mind, it causes weak memory. In case of low HDL level in the late middle age, person is most likely to become victim of dementia.

Methods are there to raise the HDL level in the blood; these methods make use of fibrates and niacin. These are the substances which eliminate the problem regarding metabolism increasing the efficiency of liver and eliminates the metabolism problems. These are the strongest agents available and tend to raise HDL level up to 10%-30%. Besides that these drugs do not have any side affects.

Balanced and controlled diet can help the body to maintain required HDL level in the blood. HDL level starts decreasing when there is a greater consumption of fats. This weakens the strength of HDL, which then becomes dangerous for the human health, causing heart disease. For that matter physical exercise, especially aerobics can help the body to maintain the cholesterol level in the blood. Excessive weight can cause a lower HDL level. Alcohol can help to raise the HDL level, as in case of alcohol consumption liver needs more and more cholesterol to save it from alcohol. However excess alcohol consumption of alcohol can affect the performance of liver affecting the performance of the HDL
