Top 10 biggest brain damaging habits
1. No breakfast - people who do not eat breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an efficient supply of nutrients in the brain causing brain damage. (Except if you are in prayer and fasting).
2. Overeating - it causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking - It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer's disease.
4. High sugar consumption - Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of protein nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air pollution - the brain is the larger oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of the oxygen to the brain, bringing about the decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep deprivation - sleep allows our brain to rest. Long tern deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping - sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decreases concentration of oxygen that leads to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness - working hard or studying with sickness may lead to decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts - thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking rarely - intellectual conversation will promote the efficiency of the brain.
The main cause of liver damage
Ø Sleeping too late and waking up late are main causes.
Ø Not urinating in the morning
Ø Skipping breakfast
Ø Consuming too much medication
Ø Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweeteners.
Ø Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. (as much as possible, reduce cooking oil when cooking frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
Ø Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store. We should prevent it without necessarily spending more. We should have to adopt a very good lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important to our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessarily chemicals according to schedule.
BECAUSE:
Evening at 9- 11pm: is the time for eliminating unnecessarily/ toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in a unrelaxed state such as helping doing homework of the kids or washing dishes, this will have an negative impact on health.
Evening at 11- 1am: is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in the deep sleep state.
Evening at 1- 3am: detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.
Evening at 3- 5am: detoxification process in the lungs. Therefore there will be sometimes severe in cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since, the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract; there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5- 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.
Morning 7- 9am: absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits and it still better to eat breakfast late until 9-10am than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.
SATAY LOVERS
If you all eat satay, don't ever forget to eat the cucumber, because eating satay together with carbon after barbecuing can cause cancer.
But we have a cure for that... Cucumber should be eaten after we eat the satay because satay has carcinogen (a cancer causing element) but cucumber is anti-carcinogenic.
So don't forget to eat the cucumber the next time you have satays.
PRAWNS & VIT C
DO NOT eat shrimp/Prawn if you have just taken VITAMIN C pills!!
This will cause you to DIE in ARSENIC (As) toxicants within HOURS!!
PORK AWARENESS
Try this and see whether the pork you bought has worms. There goes with your "Bak Kut Teh" for those who love it. Most men love to eat this so watch out before it's too late.
If you pour Coke (yes, the soda) on a slab of pork, wait a little while, you will SEE WORMS crawl out of it.
A message from the Health Corporation of Singapore about the bad effects of pork consumption. Pig's bodies contain MANY TOXINS, WORMS and LATENT DISEASES.
Although some of these infestations are harbored in other animals, modern veterinarians say that pigs are far MORE PREDISPOSED to these illnesses than other animals. This could be because PIGS like to SCAVENGE and will eat ANY kind of food, INCLUDING dead insects, worms, rotting carcasses, excreta including their own, garbage, and other pigs. INFLUENZA (flu) is one of the MOST famous illnesses which pigs share with humans. This illness is harbored in the LUNGS of pigs during the summer months and tends to affect pigs and human in the cooler months.
Sausage contains bits of pigs' lungs, so those who EAT pork sausage tend to SUFFER MORE during EPIDEMICS of INFLUENZA. Pig meat contains EXCESSIVE quantities of HISTAMINE and IMIDAZOLE compounds, which can lead to ITCHING and INFLAMMATION; GROWTH HORMONE which PROMOTES INFLAMMATION and growth; sulfur containing mesenchymal mucus which leads to SWELLING and deposits of MUCUS in tendons and cartilage, resulting in ATHRITIS, RHEUMATISM, etc.
Sulfur helps cause FIRM human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by the pig's soft mesenchymal tissues, and degeneration of human cartilage.
Eating pork can also lead to GALLSTONES and OBESITY, probably due to its HIGH CHOLESTEROL and SATURATED FAT content. The pig is the MAIN CARRIER of the TAENIE SOLIUM WORM, which is found in its flesh. These tapeworms are found in human intestines with greater frequency in nations where pigs are eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through the intestines and affect many other organs, and is incurable once it reaches beyond a certain stage. One in six people in the US and Canada has RICHINOSIS from eating trichina worms, which are found in pork.
Many people have NO SYMPTOMS to warn them of this, and when they do, they resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These worms are NOT noticed during meat inspections.
INSTANT NOODLES
Dear instant noodle lovers,
Make sure you break for at least 3 days after one session of instant noodles before you eat your next packet!
Please read the info shared to me by a doctor. My family stopped eating instant noodles more than 5 years ago after hearing about the wax coating the noodles - the wax is not just in the Styrofoam containers but it coats the noodles. This is why the instant noodles do not stick to each other when cooking.
GOING BANANAS? Yes, if you can. Ang daming benefits!
This is interesting. Never, put your banana in the refrigerator! !!
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again . Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases.. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking & Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassiu! m and ma gnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine, 'eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
Share this with friends, if you like the banana..
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth.. Amazing fruit!!!
9 simple steps to make 2009 your year to get healthy
AN APPLE A DAY By TYRONE M. REYES, M.D.
(Shared by Atty. Sonny Pulgar)
You can’t control genetics or the guy on the bus who sneezes on you, but many factors that affect your health are well within your control. Here are nine simple and surprising ways to improve your and your family’s health in 2009.
1. Get more vitamin D. One of the hottest topics in medicine these days is vitamin D, says Kenneth Cooper, the father of aerobics and founder of the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas. A July 2007 article in the New England Journal of Medicine cited insufficient levels of vitamin D as a key factor in osteoporosis. “More women will die of complications of osteoporosis of the hip than of breast cancer, and you can’t just take calcium and expect it to prevent osteoporosis unless you have sufficient vitamin D,” says Cooper. Insufficient vitamin D is clearly linked to colon cancer, and may be linked to prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer, says Cooper.
Vitamin D is not found in many foods. It’s present in high levels in salmon, tuna, sardines, and — ooh, yum — cod liver oil. Milk is fortified with vitamin D, but most other dairy products are not. Fortified margarines contain vitamin D. You can get 10 percent of your daily recommended dose in some ready-to-eat cereals.
Ironically, one reason more people have low levels of vitamin D these days may be because of increased use of sunscreens. UV rays from sunlight trigger vitamin D synthesis in the skin, but sunscreens block those rays. Do not skip your sunscreen though. Instead, make sure to drink milk and consider taking a vitamin supplement.
2. Sleep more …. and lose weight. Well, it’s not quite that straightforward, but a number of intriguing studies have found that people who get lots of sleep are less likely to be overweight, including a November 2007 study published in Pediatrics.
The study followed 785 children for three years and found that those who get more sleep in third grade were less likely to be overweight in sixth grade. Researchers analyzed data from the massive Nurses Health Study of 68,000 women and found that women who slept five hours a night were 30 percent more likely to gain 30 pounds during a 16-year period than women who slept seven hours a night, according to a 2006 article in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
And it’s not just because you can’t eat while you’re sleeping. Scientists believe the hormones ghrelin, which send a “feed-me” signal to the body, and leptin, a “feeling-full-now” hormone, get out of balance in the bodies of people who don’t have enough sleep. In the past 40 years, average sleep time has dropped by nearly two hours, according to University of Chicago researchers who studied the relationship between sleep deprivation and eating patterns in young men. Skimping on sleep? You’re much more likely to crave candy, cookies, chips or nuts.
3. Learn yoga breathing. The slow, deep inhale and long exhale of beginner yoga, expanding your abdomen as you fill up with air, softening as you exhale, is an excellent general relaxation technique. Practice this slow deep breathing at a weekly yoga class or on your own for a couple of minutes several times a week, till it becomes something you can do easily.
You can then use this breathing technique to help you relax, both mentally and physically. Got a charley horse in your leg? Deep breathing will usually clear it up quickly. Lower back pain got you hunched over? Try taking five or six long, slow breaths, and you just might find yourself standing straight. A couple of minutes of focused yoga breathing can also help you cope with stress. And if you’re lying in bed worrying about something and can’t fall asleep. Concentrating on your breathing for a few minutes could help you relax and let go of whatever you’re worrying about.
4. Read your food labels, looking for trans fats. “Trans fats prolong shelf life but shorten your life,” Cooper says. He suggests reading labels on all processed foods and buying only items that contain zero grams of trans fats. “If it doesn’t, I wouldn’t eat it,” Cooper says. “It’s poison.” Trans fats increase total cholesterol; they decrease the good or, HDL, cholesterol; and they tend to add weight around the belly, which is associated with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance.
5. Move. That’s right. If you can do it, move away from places with polluted air, suggests Robert Cluck, MD of the Arlington Memorial hospital in Texas. “If you are a nonsmoker and you live in a nonattainment area, your chances of developing lung cancer are about the same as a smoker (in an attainment area),” says Dr. Cluck.
Wondering what “nonattainment” means? The US Environment Protection Agency sets standards for acceptable levels of six pollutants, including ozone. Nonattainment areas haven’t met those standards. High concentrations of ozone can also aggravate bronchitis, emphysema, and other respiratory disorders.
6. Get the shingles vaccine. If you are over 60, ask your doctor about the vaccine for shingles, suggests Dr. Cluck. Shingles, a disease characterized by rash and nerve pain, mostly occurs in older people (and people with weakened immune system) who had chicken pox as a child. The chicken pox virus lodges in nerves, but is kept in check by the body’s immune system. When the immune system weakens — as it does when people age — the virus can begin multiplying in the nerves, causing the painful condition.
Thousands of people a year suffer from shingles, and half of all people who live to be 85 have at least one outbreak. The shingles vaccine is based on the chickenpox vaccine but is 14 times more potent. It can cut the likelihood of an outbreak, as well as the incidence of long-term chronic pain, in individuals who do get them.
7. Teach your children to exercise. Obesity rates in children are on the rise so encouraging them to be active helps prevent childhood weight difficulties plus teaches them habits that are important throughout life. Organized sports get kids moving, but casual exercise — walking and riding bikes — can be even more important, especially if it’s part of their day-to-day lifestyle.
One good holiday gift you can give your kids is a pedometer. Encourage them to record the number of steps they take, and try to get them to walk 10,000 steps per day.
8. Add weight training to your exercise routine. The founder of aerobics has a new exercise mantra these days: weight training. Cooper still wants to see people raising their heart rate at least three times a week through aerobic exercise, such as running, but warns them that if they don’t add weight training, “You’ll end up as I was at 55, able to run five miles in 40 minutes, but unable to pick up a sack of groceries without putting out my back.”
For those under age 50, he recommends a 70-80 percent aerobic and 20-30 percent weight training exercise regimen. Over 50, decrease the aerobic exercise to 55-60 percent and increase weight training.
9. Train your brain to improve your thinking abilities. Seniors who participate in certain brain “exercise” programs can gain real cognitive improvements — improvements that last for several years, according to a study in the December 20, 2007 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study randomized 2,832 people (average age: 74) to one of four groups: memory training, reasoning training, speed processing training, or no training. Each group participated in 10 one-hour to one-and-a-half-hour training sessions.
Participants who took part in the training showed immediate improvements in the specific cognitive ability in which they were trained, and those enhanced abilities continued even after five years. Other studies suggest that you don’t need to participate in organized training sessions to keep your mind limber. You can play intellectual games right at home such as chess or bridge, do Sudoku or crossword puzzles, or get together with friends for some social interaction.
