Hard to lose weight ! Forget worries and wear rubber band and lose weight.............

Losing weight: The Pakistani method

Pakistani women have an amazing trick they use to stay slim: they keep a string permanently tied around their forearms. According to Dr. Drupas, a gentle but constant pressure on the nerves in the forearm stimulates certain glands, particularly those involved in weight control (thyroid, suprarenals).


Why don’t you try it? Find two ordinary rubber bands and place them around your right forearm, one third of the way up between your wrist and elbow.

The rubber bands should exert noticeable pressure without cutting off blood circulation and should not slip or slide when you move your arm. This is not a tourniquet!



For best results, you have to wear the rubber bands constantly, even at night when you sleep. It is also recommended not to wear any other jewelry on the right arm.

Asthma hurdles your daily routines ! For get it now after ........

How to beat asthma

Asthma partially obstructs the bronchial tubes, making breathing
difficult. The cause of asthma is still not known. But if you are an
asthma sufferer, you can, through natural means, considerably reduce the number of asthma attacks you get.


A placebo study has shown that asthmatics who consume 1 gram
of vitamin C per day had 4 times fewer attacks. When they stopped taking vitamin C, the attacks resumed with the same frequency as before (Trop. and Geog. Med., Vol. 32, Mo. 2, 1980).
As for magnesium, it also works wonders! Dr. Zack H. Haddad
of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southern California
conducted a study on thirty children suffering from asthma associated with allergies.


Twenty of them drank a daily amount of mineral water rich in
magnesium, while the others received no magnesium supplement.
After three months, the first group had a higher level of magnesium in their blood, and they were able to breathe more easily.

So taking vitamin C and magnesium is an excellent way to prevent asthma attacks.


But what can you do to breathe more easily during an attack?

Simply drink 2 or 3 cups of strong coffee. By activating blood
circulation, it eases respiratory blockage.

Eye sight going down due to watching your favourite program ! Never to worry !

Avoid eye problems caused by T.V. and monitors

The eye was not made to be constantly focused on close objects.

If your work requires that you stare at a computer screen all day long or if you watch a lot of television, stop from time to time to do a few eye exercises.

For example, roll your eyes in large circles in both directions; look over to each side as far as possible and then go from up to down; or scan an imaginary text on the wall from left to right; or look out the window as far as you can following the horizon then return to a point right in front of you and begin again.


In this way, you will avoid long term eye problems, you will enlarge your inner space, and relax both your eyes and your mind.

Cancer free ! Smoke it on without worry

How to avoid cancer

caused by smoking

If you smoke, you can greatly reduce the risk of contracting cancer by drinking carrot juice. This according to the German Doctor Hans Nieper, founder of Eumatabolic Medicine, a new alternative mode of treatment which has become very popular in Germany.


The carotene found especially in carrots prevents and can even cure cancer.

Dr. Nieper states, “If you smoke 60 cigarettes a day but drink 4 glasses of carrot juice, you will still be less prone to contract cancer than someone who doesn’t smoke but who doesn’t drink carrot juice.”

Of course, if you don’t smoke and do drink carrot juice all the better!

Are you anxious?

Is worrying one of your characteristics? Well, stop! It is okay to worry, but at the right time.
Psychologists at the University of Pennsylvania tell patients who suffer from anxiety to regularly do a daily twenty minute “worry session,” always at the same time and in the same place. Collect your head full of worries during the day (don’t suppress them!) and then pour them out during your daily worry session. Exaggerate your worries to the point of absurdity - knit your brows, make faces, let the sweat flow, shake and cower as much as you like. In other words, make a caricature of the part of yourself that is always worried, and in so doing exorcise it.
Eliminating worry will help prevent numerous psychosomatic illnesses, which result from living in a state of permanent anxiety.

Essential amino acids

ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS.

Out of the many thousands of possible amino acids,
humans require only 20 different kinds. Two others
appear in the bodies of some animal species,
and approximately 100 others can be found in plants.

Yet of the 20 amino acids required by humans for making protein, only 12
can be produced within the body, whereas the other eight—isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine—must be obtained from the diet. (In addition, adults are capable of synthesizing arginine and histidine, but these amino acids are believed to be essential to growing children, meaning that children cannot produce them on their own.)



A complete protein is one that contains all of the essential amino acids in quantities sufficient for growth and repair of body tissue. Most proteins from animal sources, gelatin being the only exception, contain all the essential amino acids and are therefore considered complete proteins.


On the other hand, many plant proteins do not contain all of the essential amino acids. For example, lysine is absent from corn, rice, and wheat, whereas corn also lacks tryptophan and rice lacks threonine. Soybeans are lacking in methionine.Vegans, or vegetarians who consume no animal proteins in their diets (i.e., no eggs, dairy products, or the like) are at risk of malnutrition, because they may fail to assimilate one or
more essential amino acid.

Amino acid and nutrition

Amino acid and nutrition

Just as proteins form when amino acids bond together in long chains, they can be broken down by a reaction called hydrolysis, the reverse of the formation of the peptide bond. That is exactly what happens in the process of digestion, when special digestive enzymes in the stomach enable the breaking down of the peptide linkage.



(Enzymes are a type of protein—see Enzymes.)
The amino acids, separated once again, are released into the small intestine, from whence they pass into the bloodstream and are carried
throughout the organism. Each individual cell of the organism then can use these amino acids to assemble the new and different proteins required for its specific functions. Life thus is an ongoing cycle in which proteins are broken into individual amino-acid units, and new proteins are built up from these amino acids.

Amino acids

Amino acids

Amino acids are organic compounds made of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and (in
some cases) sulfur bonded in characteristic formations.
the 20 amino acids required for manufacturing.




Of the proteins the human body needs, the body itself produces only 12, meaning that we have to meet our requirements for the other eight
through nutrition. This is just one example of the importance of amino acids in the functioning of life. Another cautionary illustration of amino acids’ power is the gamut of diseases (most notably, sickle cell anemia) that impair or claim the lives of those whose amino acids are out of sequence or malfunctioning.



The basic structure of an amino-acid molecule consists of a carbon atom bonded to an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group
(-COOH), a hydrogen atom, and a fourth group that differs from one amino acid to another and often is referred to as the -R group or the side chain.

The -R group, which can vary widely, is responsible for the differences in chemical properties.





A FEW ADDITIONAL POINTS.

The name amino acid, in fact, comes from the amino group and the acid group, which are the most chemically reactive parts of the molecule.
Each of the common amino acids has, in addition to its chemical name, a more familiar name and a three-letter abbreviation that frequently is
used to identify it. In the present context, we are not concerned with these abbreviations. Aminoacid molecules, which contain an amino group and a carboxyl group, do not behave like typical molecules.

Neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters

Many actions of the body are at some stage regulated by chemical

messengers known as hormones.The major neurotransmitters associated with the

autonomic nervous system are

acetylcholine 3.1,
norepinephrine 3.2
and epinephrine 3.3

(noradrenalin and adrenalin). Their receptors are known as cholinergic and

adrenergic receptors.

Carbohydrate make you calm

Carbohydrate make you calm

• Serotin is the neurotransmitterthat reduces pain, induces calmness and increases relaxation. It's produced from tryptophan, an amino acid.
• Researches show that people on a low carbohydrate diet tend to become depressed after a while because their serotonin levels drop.
• Complex carbohydrates are good stress busters, as they help to increase serotonin levels. Whole grain foods 9cereals and pulses0 and fruits are good sources of carbohydrates
  and contain other nutrients too.

Proteins keep you alert

Proteins keep you alert.

Tyrosine,an amino acid first isolated from cheese.This amino acino acid derived from proteins in food, increases production of dopamine,norepinephrine and epinephrine.

These chemical messengers are lnown for theirability to increase alertness.

They might also increase concentration.

High protein foods like fisg,pulses, eggs, paneer, tofu, sproutsetc will aid in increasing alertness, an important requirement for everyone during the day.
