water for health :
This article was published in Times of India and I thought it is worth reading.
Water is an appetite-control agent that requires no prescription, has no side effects, and costs almost nothing? Scientists reported results of a new clinical trial confirming that just two glasses taken before meals, helps people to shed weight.
“Results of the randomised controlled intervention trial demonstrate that increased water consumption is an effective weight loss strategy,” said Brenda Davy, author of the study.
“We found in earlier studies that middle aged and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during that meal. In this recent study, we found that over the course of 12 weeks, dieters who drank water before meals, three times per day, lost about 5 pounds more than other dieters.”
Davy pointed out that folklore and everyday experience have suggested that water can help promote weight loss. But there has been surprisingly little scientific info on the topic.
The study included 48 adults aged 55-75 years, divided into two groups. One group drank 2 cups of water prior to their meals and the other did not. All of the subjects ate a lowcalorie diet during the study. Over the course of 12 weeks, water drinkers lost about 15.5 pounds, while the others lost about 11 pounds.
Davy said water may be so effective simply because it fills up the stomach with a substance that has zero calories. People feel fuller as a result, and eat less caloriecontaining food during the meal.
A serious note about heart attacks:
Women 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...
Hair Care :
One had to be care full while grating aloevera .This is because when I took out the aloevera pieces and washed them it became little slippery but grating it was not that difficult too.Also, one thing is that the grater or shedder should have very small holes otherwise the gel won't be of light consistency and the gel might have small pieces left which might trouble you while applying it on your hair.
Grated aloevera gel
Many people use aloevera juice for thick and healthy hair.If you apply it on your scalp then it can promote hair re growth also and hair loss as well.This is because aloevera contains anti-inflammatory which helps in stopping hair loss.
Aloevera has become a big fad product today.There are aloevera shampoo, conditioner , creams etc.Infact , I read in a book that aloevera can be used to lose stress as well.
Aloevera poducts are good be it shampoo, conditioner or gel provided that they do not have much of chemical content in them.Aloevera shampoo helps in giving a nice healthy shiny head and best part is that it is available at reasonable price as well.
I hope you will involve this miracle place in your life which I guess God made keeping woman in mind.
To Reduce Stomach :
Whenever you have heavy stomach mix 1/4teaspoon of each powdered cumin (jeera) and pepper in a glass of buttermilk.Drink two or three times a day for two or three days.You will see the the difference in one day itself.
Take a glass of boiled water and mix 1 tea spoon of honey,and 1 tea spoon of lemon juice and mix them 3 well,then take this water on every morning.
