மூளையைப் பாதிக்கும் 10 பழக்கங்கள்

1. காலையில் உணவு உண்ணாமல் இருப்பது : காலையில் உணவு உண்ணாமல் இருப்பவர்களுக்கு ரத்தத்தில் குறைவான அளவே சர்க்கரை இருக்கும். இது மூளைக்குத் தேவையான சக்தியையும் தேவையான ஊட்டச்சத்துக்களையும் கொடுக்காமல் ஆக்கி, மூளை அழிவுக்குக் காரணமாகும்.

2. மிக அதிகமாகச் சாப்பிடுவது : இது மூளையில் இருக்கும் ரத்த நாளங்கள் இறுகக் காரணமாகி, மூளையின் சக்தி குறைவுக்குக் காரணமாகும்.

3. புகை பிடித்தல் : மூளை சுருங்கவும், அல்ûஸமர்ஸ் வியாதி வருவதற்கும் காரணமாகிறது.

4. நிறைய சர்க்கரை சாப்பிடுதல் : நிறைய சர்க்கரை சாப்பிடுவது, புரோட்டின் நமது உடலில் சேர்வதைத் தடுக்கிறது. இதுவும் மூளை வளர்ச்சிக்கு பாதிப்பாகிறது.

5. மாசு நிறைந்த காற்று : மாசு நிறைந்த காற்றை சுவாசித்தல், நமக்குத் தேவையான ஆக்ஸிஜனை நாம் பெறுவதிலிருந்துதடை செய்கிறது. மூளைக்கு ஆக்ஸிஜன் செல்லா விட்டால், மூளை பாதிப்படையும்.

6. தூக்கமின்மை : நல்ல தூக்கம் நம் மூளைக்கு ஓய்வு கொடுக்கும். வெகுகாலம் தேவையானஅளவு தூங்காமலிருப்பது மூளைக்கு நீண்டகாலப் பாதிப்பை ஏற்படுத்தும்.

7. தலையை மூடிக்கொண்டு தூங்குவது : தலையை மூடிக்கொண்டு தூங்குவது, போர்வைக்குள் கரியமிலவாயு அதிகரிக்க வைக்கிறது. இது நீங்கள்; சுவாசிக்கும் ஆக்ஸிஜனை குறைக்கிறது. குறைவான ஆக்ஸிஜன் மூளையைப் பாதிக்கிறது.

9. மூளைக்கு வேலை கொடுக்கும் சிந்தனைகளை மேற்கொள்ளாமல் இருப்பது : மூளையை அதிகமாக உபயோகப்படுத்தும் சிந்தனைகளை மேற்கொள்வதால், மூளையில் புதுப்புது இணைப்புகள் உருவாகின்றன. அதனால், மூளை வலிமையான உறுப்பாக ஆகிறது.

Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water



This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about Heart Attacks.  The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their   drinking habit while eating.  

                                    
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is feels 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.  


French fries and Burgers are the biggest enemy of heart health.
A coke after that gives more power to this demon.
Avoid them for your Heart's Health

 

Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack...
 
A serious note about heart attacks - You 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.

FEED YOUR BRAIN

In 2005 a study revealed that fish oil helps protect the brain from certain cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. It is also known to reduce the risk of suicide, schizophrenia, and depression. Studies also report  that the three fatty acids found in fish oil have anti-cancer effects. The three types that it may prevent are breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostrate cancer. Experts have noted that fish oil can help reduce cholesterol. Fish oil is very important for the growth of the frontal cortex of the brain. Fish oil is recommended for the prevention of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. 

Fish oil is made from the tissues of fish. Fish oil is recommended for a healthy diet. It is known to reduce inflammation throughout the body. The fish that have a high content of three fatty acids are lake trout, mackerel, salmon, flounder, and albacore tuna. Fish oil has been used in treating clinical depression and bipolar disorder. It has alo been known to stabilize mood swings.

Fish oil can be consumed by eating fish or taking soft gels that can be purchased in the vitamin section at the store. It is always best to seek the advice of an expert before using any supplement for health. Peru is the major fish oil producer in the world. Due to a recent oil spill in the United States that was caused by the Deep Water Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, it has been reported that this spill has caused a major effect in production of Omega-3 fish oil and fish meal products. A company called Omega Protein Corporation has recently relocated due to this accident. This company is the largest producer of heart healthy fish oil. This company will continue to provide high quality fish products. This company makes the fish oil from fish called menhaden. This type of fish is not considered to be seafood, but it is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. 


Fish oil is important in helping children develop in their young years. Studies show that Americans do not include enough fish oil in their diets. Health costs continue to increase in the United States. It is important for Americans to take control of their health. Including fish oil in your diet may be a good way to start.

7 TIPS TO CONTROL YOUR HUNGER.


         Our fitness trainers try to force us on a diet; our doctors warn us to control our food intake thanks to our high cholesterol levels; our wives and girlfriends have warned us they will walk out on us because of that excess baggage pouring over our belts! It is not as if we haven't tried. But it is just so darned hard to control our hunger! Sound familiar?
1.     Eat small frequent meals.
         Want to lose weight? Eat more -- frequently, that is. Your body needs food to provide energy, repair damaged muscle tissue, and to carry out various other functions. But there are only so many nutrients it can draw from each meal. Large meals mean more nutrients than your body can handle, thus causing an 'overflow effect'. Thus, go for smaller, more frequent meals. They provide just the right amount of nutrients every few hours, without causing that overflow effect. They also maintain blood sugar levels, thus keeping your appetite and energy levels in control.
2.     Don't skip meals!
        Skipping meals and going too long without food can turn hunger pangs into irresistible cravings. To start with, don't skip breakfast! It is amazing how so many people skip this meal. If you are one of those, change that nasty food habit. NOW! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Your first meal of the day helps replenish all those nutrients lost during that all-night fast. It raises those early morning low blood sugar levels. Missing out on this meal means setting you up for low blood sugar levels and, thus, low energy levels and irresistible hunger pangs and cravings at lunchtime.
3.     Eat your veggies!
        Vegetables are healthy. They are chockfull with nutrients that can boost your health. They are also rich in fiber, the dieters' secret weapon to control hunger. While all vegetables are beneficial as far as good health and hunger control go, certain veggies, like broccoli, cauliflower, spinach and mushrooms, are super-high in fiber and have a negligible amount of calories. They can fill your stomach and control your hunger while filling you with a small amount of calories.
4.     Eat more whole grains and less refined carbohydrates.
        Whole grains, besides being healthier than their 'nutrient-stripped' refined counterparts, are also higher in fiber.
Thus they are more filling and satisfying. While refined carbs -- like idlis, dosas, white bread, white rice -- may be low in fat, they are higher in fiber. You may run the risk of over-consuming calories.
5.     Eat slowly!
        Give it a shot. It actually works. The brain actually takes ten minutes longer than the stomach to receive the message that it is full. Thus, eating too fast might cause you to eat beyond the point of fullness without even realizing.
6.     Sleep and shed those pounds!
         Studies have found that people who sleep only five hours every night were 50 per cent more likely to be obese than those who sleep seven to nine hours. Researchers believe lack of sleep affects hormones related to appetite, causing you to gain pounds.
7.     Drink more water!
        Water is the healthiest, cheapest and most easily available appetite suppressant around. Thirst is often mistaken as hunger. Also, foods with high water content can fill you up easily. They naturally pack fewer calories for their volume. Toss together a salad of lettuce, cucumbers.
