പച്ചക്കറികളിലെ വിഷാംശം എങ്ങിനെ കളയാം? എളുപ്പമാര്‍ഗം

എങ്ങിനെ ശുദ്ധീകരിച്ച പച്ചക്കറി നമുക്ക് കഴിക്കാം?

പച്ചക്കറികളിലെ വിഷാംശം എങ്ങിനെ കളയാം? എളുപ്പമാര്‍ഗം ഇതാ..

Top 20 ways to Prevent Diabetes



Diabetes is a serious disease and the number of people affected with it has skyrocketed in the last couple of years.


If you think diabetes affects only elderly people then think again. By adopting few simple tips, you can turn off the diabetes clock. To get started, try these simple diabetes prevention tips, shared by Sunita Pathania - Sr. Registered Dietician and Diabetes Educator, Healthy Living Diet Clinic, Mumbai.



Diabetes prevention tip # 1: Know about diabetes
Before beginning the diabetes prevention act, it is important to know what is exactly diabetes. Once you are well acquainted with this disease, you can start your prevention therapy easily.



Diabetes prevention tip # 2: Reduce your portion size
Reduce the amount of food you eat, each day. Instead, of having one cup of fruit every day, try having half a cup of fruits, or you can also drink a glass of water every day before beginning your meal, this will make you less hungry and you will avoid over eating.



Diabetes prevention tip # 3: Get physically active
If you acquire the habit of exercises daily, it will benefit you in many ways. Exercising daily helps to maintain a healthy weight, lowers blood sugar level and boosts your sensitivity to insulin. Thus, exercise everyday for at least 30 minutes daily to keep your blood sugar lavel in normal range.



Diabetes prevention tip# 4: Lose weight
If you think, your excessive weight is making you closer to the risk of diabetes than, slash some kilos in a healthy way. Shedding even 10 pounds can significantly drop your diabetes risk drastically.



Diabetes prevention tip # 5: Add lots of whole grain in your diet
Count your carb intake and switch to whole grain diet, to reduce your risk of diabetes. Including whole grain, products in your diet not only help to prevent diabetes but also slow down your carb absorption in the body.



Diabetes prevention tip# 6: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day
No matter how full you are, always make a habit of eating a healthy breakfast every day, as it helps to reduce your risk of getting diabetes. Eating a healthy breakfast not only helps to control your appetite but also helps to control your calorie consumption in the rest of the day, by keeping you full and thus prevents weight gain.



Diabetes prevention tip# 7: Avoid fatty foods
Junk food and other streets foods are high in saturated fat, which can raise your bad cholesterol level in your body. This in turn can also affect the blood sugar level in your body. Thus, avoid junk food and other fat filled foods that tempt you always.



Diabetes prevention tip # 8: Avoid sugary drinks
If you are thirsty, then quench your thirst with water or milk rather than purchasing sodas, soft drinks or any other flavoured water. All these sweetened beverages are sources of invisible sugar, which can spike your blood sugar level.



Diabetes prevention tip # 9: Choose healthy snacks
If you can bear your evening stomach growls, then treat your tummy with a bowl of healthy salad rather than a pizza. Besides severe your salad with less toppings and low-fat cheese or mayonnaise.



Diabetes prevention tip # 10: Eat many veggies

Diabetes prevention tip # 13: Load up on fibre
Adding fibre rich foods to your diet helps to smoothen your digestive system and lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes. Thus, add at least 25-30 grams of fibre to your diet, to regulate your blood sugar level.



Diabetes prevention tip # 14: Drink lots of water
Drinking sufficient amount of water everyday will help to mobilise the sugar content in the blood. Water also helps to regulate proper functioning of the body and reduces the risk of diabetes.



Diabetes prevention tip # 15: Get some health test
Most of the diabetes symptoms are silent, thus to avoid the risk of diabetes, do a routine health check up. A health check-up, will help to diagnose pre-diabetes symptoms, and prevent it from getting worse.



Diabetes prevention tip # 16: Soak in the sun
According to a research conducted by Loyola University Chicago, sufficient intake of vitamin D through early morning sunshine helps to increase insulin sensitivity and secretion in the body, which plays a major role in preventing the onset of diabetes.



Diabetes prevention tip # 17: Avoid diabetes with spices
According to a German research, adding spices to your diet especially cinnamon helps to activate the enzymes in your body, which helps to stimulate insulin receptor. Besides, it also helps to lower down cholesterol and reduces the risk of developing cholesterol, thus, spice up your diet with cinnamon.



Diabetes prevention tip # 18: Soy is good for you
Soy is one of the best foods to prevent diabetes among patients. The isoflavones contained in them helps to reduce the sugar content in blood, while accumulating much fewer calories, as compared to other food items. So eat a diet filled with soy, to avoid diabetes.



Diabetes prevention tip # 19: Drink green tea
Drinking green tea every day will help your body to get rid of free radicals. Besides, the antioxidants present in it will help to normalise the blood sugar level and keep diabetes at bay.



Diabetes prevention tip # 20: Quit smoking

Smoking increases chances of diabetes, since it begins to affect hormonal secretions in the long run. Thus, give up your smoke to keep diabetes away.

11 ways to protect yourself and your family from mobile phone radiation


  1. refer to use headset / headphone / earphone or speaker mode while talking on mobile phone. Last choice should be Bluetooth headset. You’ll get less radiation in this way.
  2. Use your phone when you have the maximum number of bars of signal. When signal quality is poor, your phone emits more radiation.
  3. Turn your headset off when the phone is not in use.
  4. Reduce cell phone use to only the most necessary calls, and when you do use it, keep your calls short and to the point.
  5. Consider SMS, if possible rather than talking on phone. You can also make templates in your phone settings to avoid repetitively used messages.
  6. Consider replacing your current phone with a low-radiation phone. Different cell-phone models emit different amounts of radiation, so one way to reduce your exposure is to purchase a cell phone with a lower SAR (specific absorption rate), a number that indicates how much radiation is absorbed by the human body when the handset is being used at maximum power.
  7. Carry your cell phone away from your body—in a purse, briefcase or computer bag—not in your pocket where it is pressed up against you.
  8. Most cell phones emit the most radiation when they first connect with the cell tower. One way to reduce your exposure to cell-phone radiation is to wait until your call has been connected before you put the phone to your ear.
  9. If your cell signal is down to a few bars, consider waiting to use your phone. Again, it’s a power thing: less signal means more power is required for use.
  10. Consider using corded / landline phones instead of mobile phone.
  11. NEVER give mobile phone to pregnant lady or kids. Instead, give games like Chess, Tambola etc. to kids to play.

How to protect your eyes when using a Computer


When using a computer for prolonged periods of time, whether for work or pleasure, it's important to protect your eyes from long-term damage. There are a number of things you can do to help protect your eyes. Some of those ways are:
  • Clean your computer screen periodically to remove any dust, dirt or fingerprints. This can make it easier on your eyes, so they are not having to focus harder to see what is on the screen, especially if there is text to read.
  • Keep the monitor about 20 to 30 inches away from your face. This range has been found to be the best distance for proper viewing and for reducing eye strain.
  • Use fonts and icon sizes that are easy for you to view and read. Avoid using small fonts and icon sizes as it can cause eye strain.
  • Adjust the height of the monitor so that the top of the monitor is just below your eye level so that you are looking down slightly when viewing the screen.
  • Make sure there is proper lighting in the room. Overly dim lighting or overly bright lighting can cause strain to your eyes.
  • Use an anti-glare filter on your monitor, to help prevent glare and reflection from lights in the room.
  • Use a document holder for placing documents that you look at regularly, and place it at the same distance as the monitor.
One of the most important things you can do to protect your eyes is to take regular breaks. Taking several minutes to get up and not look at the monitor can greatly help in protecting your eyes and reducing any strain.
Another recommendation is to use an LCD Monitor aka flat penal display. The older CRT monitors are harder on the eyes, due to the lower refresh rates and general design of the monitor. LCD monitors feature higher refresh rates, high enough that most people are unable to see the refreshing of the screen. LCD monitors in general are easier to view for longer periods of time and cause less strain on the eyes.

10 Tips to manage high BP without pills


Hypertension on the high? Here are top 10 tips to get it down and keep it down.
Seven in 10 adults are at a greater risk of stroke or heart attack because their blood pressure is too high. Desk jobs, lack of exercise and eating salty fast foods have contributed to the problem, even among the young. If your level is consistently at or above 140mmHg/ 90mmHg (referred to as 140 over 90). The 140 figure is the systolic pressure — the pressure reached when the heart forces the blood around the body — and 90 is the diastolic pressure — the lowest pressure that occurs between heartbeats when the heart relaxes.
In India, experts say, the prevalence of hypertension ranges from 20-40 per cent in urban adults and 12-17 per cent among rural adults. But there's no reason to worry. Simple measures will help to cut your risk.
1. Go for a weekly jog
Jogging for just an hour a week can increase your life expectancy by six years, according to a Copenhagen City Heart cardiovascular study of around 20,000 men and women aged from 20 to 93.
Researchers believe jogging delivers multiple health benefits, improving oxygen uptake and lowering blood pressure, as well as many more benefits. However, any physical activity can help lower blood pressure by strengthening the heart so it can pump more blood with less effort, thereby decreasing the force on the arteries. Power walking can be just as effective as jogging.
2. Enjoy yoghurt
Just one small pot a day can reduce your chances of developing high blood pressure by a third, according to a study presented at the University of Minnesota in the US. Scientists think naturally occurring calcium can make blood vessels more supple, enabling them to expand slightly and keep pressure low.
They found those who ate a 120g pot daily were 31 per cent less likely to develop high blood pressure over a 15-year period than those who did not.
3. Go bananas
Eating potassium-rich foods, such as bananas, and reducing salt intake could save thousands of lives every year, according to a new study published in the British Medical Journal online.
Potassium is an important mineral that controls the balance of fluids in the body and helps to lower blood pressure. Making sure you eat five.
4. Down with salt
Salt draws in fluid, raising the volume and pressure of blood in your arteries. But it's not just the salt cellar you have to worry about — processed foods such as biscuits, breakfast cereals, takeaways and ready meals contain 80 per cent of the salt we consume, says the Blood Pressure Association. Check labels: more than 1.5g salt per 100g is a lot, but less than 0.3mg per 100g is a little.
5. Lose weight
Research has shown that dropping just a few kilos can have a substantial impact on your blood pressure. Excess weight makes your heart work harder and this strain can lead to high blood pressure.
6. Don't smoke
The nicotine in cigarettes stimulates your body to produce adrenaline, making your heart beat faster and raises your blood pressure, making your heart work harder.
7. Work less
Regularly putting in 40 hours per week at the office raises your risk of hypertension by 14 per cent, the University of California, US, found.The risk rises with overtime. Compared with those who worked fewer than 40 hours a week, workers who clocked up more than 51 hours were 29 per cent more likely to have high blood pressure. Overtime makes it hard to exercise and eat healthily, say researchers. So try to down tools with enough time to relax in the evening and eat a healthy supper. Set a message on your computer as a reminder to go home.
8. Seek help for snoring
Loud, incessant snoring is a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea. And more than half of those with this have blood pressure significantly higher than expected for their age and general health.
Cutting out cigarettes and alcohol and losing weight will help.
9. Switch to decaf
Duke University Medical Center, North Carolina, US, found caffeine consumption of 500mg, roughly three cups, increased blood pressure by three points. Effects lasted until bedtime.
Scientists say that caffeine can raise blood pressure by tightening blood vessels and magnifying the effects of stress.
10. Think beetroot
A study published in the journal Hypertension found drink ing a 250ml cup of the juice can cut blood pressure readings in those with high blood pressure by around seven per cent. It's thought the effect is produced by beetroot's naturally high levels of nitrate. Eating other-rich foods — cab bage and spinach — might also help

7 Things never to discuss with colleagues

In all probability, you count many of your colleagues as your friends and spend more time with them than you do with you loved ones.

But where should a person draw the line and at what point should they stop being pals with their co-workers and start a professional relation with them.

Indian-origin workplace law expert Joydeep Hor said that boundaries between work and private life are becoming blurred, which in turn is creating problems for workers both professionally and legally.

He has listed seven things that we should avoid talking or discussing about with our co-workers.

Firstly, Hor said that sex life is a topic that people should avoid talking with their colleagues, as it can get them in legal trouble; he asserted that the definition of sexual harassment can be quite broad, News.com.au reported.

Secondly, people need to be aware of their obligation not to malign certain groups in the workplace, as the expression of personally held opinions could be dangerous.

Thirdly, gossiping about others in a work place is a no-no, as it suggests that the person may not be productive in the workplace. And gossiping about people in their private life is also risky.

Fourthly, a worker should never tell their superior that that they wrote themselves off on the weekend, as it represents a lapse in judgement and could makes them query if the person could have the same lapse in judgement in their work.

Fifthly, if a colleague or a customer is discourteous to the person, they should be careful about how they respond, especially if they are angry or frustrated, as co-workers might be turned off if they are constantly venting about others.

Sixthly, a person should never reveal to a co-worker about the big mistakes that they have committed in their life, as they can disclose it to others.

Seventhly, major life events that have happened in a person's life can pose problems if they share them in the wrong way.

Your Cell Phone can give you Cancer

Man using mobile phone

Mobile is an inseparable part of our life. We are completely dependent on our mobile phones and everyone has it, even school children. 

We are pretty sure that most of us are Nomophobiacs at least till some extent. You may have read reports that this tiny, super functional gadget can be life threatening, but is it the truth? There are reports that radiation can even turn your brain into an omelette. We did a little research and got you some factual answers.


Radiation from your mobile?


Yes! Radiation is present from mobile phone in the form of electromagnetic waves. Through a particular radio frequency on these electromagnetic waves, you are able to make and receive calls. The radiation emission is present in small amounts from your mobile as these emissions are of short range waves.


Radiation absorption


Small amount of radio waves emitted from your mobile is absorbed by the body. According to Wikipedia - the maximum power output from a mobile phone is regulated by the mobile phone standard. In most systems the mobile and the base station check reception quality, signal strength and the power level. It is increased or decreased automatically within a certain span to accommodate different situations - when you are inside or outside the building or vehicle.


The rate at which energy is absorbed by the human body is measured by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). SAR data for specific mobile phones, along with other useful information, can be found directly on manufacturers' websites.


Effects by mobile radiation


The effects can be of two types - thermal and non-thermal.


Thermal effects


One of the most common effects by electromagnetic waves is dielectric heating. When a person uses a cell phone, most of the heating effect will occur at the surface of the head. 


This heating can increase your head temperature by a fraction of a degree. However this heat is less than the heat obtained by sunlight. The blood circulation isn't affected much, as the brain's blood circulation is capable enough to deal with excess heat, but the cornea of the eyes is not accustomed to a lot of heat.


Non-thermal effects


The communications procedure used by mobile phones often result in low-frequency pulse from the carrier signal.


"Non-thermal effects" could be reinterpreted as a normal cellular response to an increase in temperature. This heat can activate several messenger system, gene expression and production of heat shock protein in order to defend the cell against stress caused by heat.


According to a study conducted by The Journal of the American Medical Association - exposure to radio frequency signal waves within parts of the brain closest to the cell phone antenna resulted in increased levels of glucose metabolism.


In non-thermal effects, following problems can be seen.


- Blood-brain barrier effects
- Cancer
- Cognitive effects
- Electromagnetic hypersensitivity like tingling sensation in the skin of the head, headache, dizziness, loss of mental attention etc.
- Sleep disorders
- Behavioural effects


Reduce the effect of phone radiation


In order to lower the effects of mobile phone radiation follow these simple steps:


Keep some distance 


Behind every phone packaging, in fine prints most of the mobile brands recommend to keep your cell at least 10millimeters away from your body. Learn to maintain some distance with your tiny buddy. It may sound difficult but it is not impossible.


Weak signal is bad


Cell phones release more radio frequency radiation when the signal is low. That means, if your signal is low avoid using your cell phone to prevent unnecessary harm.


Choose hands-free headsets


Always choose hands-free headsets, as it will help to reduce the radiation emissions to the brain.


Switch sides


Change hands (and ears) frequently while talking on your cell phone to limit the amount of exposure to one side of your head. 


Use speakers to dial numbers


The radiofrequency radiation is strongest when your phone is attempting to place a call, so hold it away from your head until you hear someone pick up.

Diabetes Control : Top 15 Diabetic Tips for Indians

Diabetes control is governed by following the right diabetic diet. What to eat and what not to eat is important for diabetes control and diabetes cure or diabetes reversal. These are the top 15 diabetes diet tips from diabetologists and nutritionists. Even if you are pre-diabetic or borderline diabetic, or diabetes is part of your family, it is important to follow a diabetic diet to prevent diabetes.
 
Diabetologist, Dr. Sanjiv Bhambani with Moolchand Medcity suggests, “A diabetes diet should be high on fibre, must contain milk without cream, buttermilk, fresh seasonal fruits, green vegetables, etc.” But remember to consume these components in moderation.
 
Diabetes diet for Indians should have the ratio of 60:20:20 for carbs, fats and proteins. The doctor explains, “Per day calorie intake should be between 1,500-1,800 calories with a proportion of 60:20:20 between carbohydrates, fats and proteins, respectively.” He adds that a diabetes diet should “have at least two seasonal fruits and three vegetables in a diet plan.”
 
Though dry fruits may seem like a healthy snack, it is not a good option for diabetics, as the fructose can spike your sugar level. Go for fresh fruits rather than dry fruits for diabetes
control (but there are some restrictions... we’ll come to it). But you can still opt for nuts as a healthy snack.
The doctor shares his recipe for diabetes diet for Indians:
- One teaspoon of methi seeds soaked overnight in 100 ml of water is very effective in controlling diabetes.
- Drink tomato juice with salt and pepper every morning on an empty stomach.
- Intake of 6 almonds (soaked overnight) is also helpful in keeping a check on diabetes.
 
Rekha Sharma, President and Director of Indian Dietetic Association, shares some major diabetes diet pointers that one should follow at home or at a restaurant.
Whole grains, oats, channa atta, millets and other high fibre foods should be included in the meals. If one feels like consuming pasta or noodles, it should always be accompanied with vegetable/sprouts.
 
Milk is the right combination of carbohydrates and proteins and helps control blood sugar levels. Two servings of milk in a dailydiet is a good option.
 
High fibre vegetables such as peas, beans, broccoli and spinach /leafy vegetables should be included in one’s diet. Also, pulses with husk and sprouts are a healthy option and should be part of the diet.
 
Pulses are important in the diet as their effect on blood glucose is less than that of most other carbohydrate containing foods. Vegetables rich in fibre help lowering down the blood sugar
levels and thus are healthy.
Good fats such as Omega-3 and monounsaturated fats (MUFA) should be consumed as they are good for the body. Natural sources for these are canola oil, flax seed oil, fatty fish and nuts. These are also low in cholesterol and are trans fat free.
 
Fruits high in fibre such as papaya, apple, orange, pear and guava should be consumed. Mangoes, bananas, and grapes contain high sugar; therefore these fruits should be consumed lesser than the others.
 
A large meal gives rise to higher blood sugar in one’s body, therefore it is essential to take small frequent meals to prevent both higher and very low blood sugar values and keep them constant. Small in between snacks can be dhokla, fruit, high fibre cookies, butter milk, yogurt, upma/poha with vegetables etc.
A person with diabetes should follow a diet
which is low in carbohydrates, high in fibre and contains adequate amounts of proteins, vitamins and minerals; and avoid fatty foods and sweets. He/she should also take frequent small meals (5 meals pattern).

What not to do:
  • Artificial sweeteners can be used in cakes and sweets for diabetic people (in moderation).
  • Have lots of fluid.
  • Limit intake of alcohol.
Should you have non-veg? 
In non-vegetarian diet, seafood and chicken can be taken rather than red meat as red meat contains higher amount of saturated fats. Also, patients with high cholesterol should avoid egg yolk and red meat.
 
The diabetes diet for Indians includes carbohydrates, proteins and fats. As always, a balanced and planned diet can build and improve personal health. A controlled diabetes diet may seem like a drag and bore, but a good cook can add life to a diet. Time to call up mom and experiment with diabetes
diets!

Long hours of sitting may cause Heart attack



Frequent fliers spend hours crouched in an airplane seat, hooked to a book or a video, only to emerge and stand upright when the plane hits the ground.
The same situation applies to long distance train and bus travellers or if you go on a trip in your car. So, it is imperative to move around frequently and avoid sitting for hours in your seat to prevent blood clots that can be dangerous and in some cases fatal.
"Sitting in the same position for hours can cause blood clots in the legs that can be fatal if not treated on time,: warns Dr. Anil Bansal, Interventional Cardiologist, Columbia Asia Hospital.
DVT or deep vein thrombosis, as it is called, is a blood clot that forms in the deep veins of the leg or pelvis. Long hours of sitting can lead to such blood clots which when they break free from their initial position can travel through the bloodstream right up to the lungs where they become a pulmonary embolism. 
A pulmonary embolism or PE is a blockage of the main artery of the lung or one of its branches by a substance that has travelled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream. This blockage that may cause obstruction of the blood flow or oxygen flow through the lungs can lead to a heart attack
Why the link between long travel hours and blood clots?
"If your body or any part of it is deprived of movement for a long time, this inhibits blood circulation. If blood collects at one place in the legs, the platelets tend to stick to each other, forming a clot," explains Dr Bansal.
In a research released in 2007, World Health Organization (WHO) that examined the Global Hazards of Travel, found that the risk of developing clots approximately doubles if you trip last four hours or more. 
Tips to follow when you are travelling for long hours:
- When travelling, make it a routine to carry on with up-and-down movements of the feet at the ankle joints. This encourages blood flow and prevents stagnation.
- Stand up from your seat and move about the flight every 30 minutes, or if you are driving on a long distance road trip, take frequent brakes.
- It is also important to keep yourself appropriately hydrated by drinking a lot of water.
- For people, who already have cardiac-related issues, they should always meet a doctor before travelling and make sure they carry their medicines along.
