It's Easier to Beat a Caffeine Addiction Than You Think! Caffeine is a stimulant that is mildly addictive. Therefore, if you drink too much coffee or soda, you are (or will soon be) addicted to it. In fact, if you crave a cup of coffee as soon as you wake up in the morning or a soda during the afternoon with your lunch, you may well be addicted to caffeine - this addiction is not good for your health! Caffeine is healthy in moderate doses, but consuming it in large amounts can cause severe health problems. For example, it can increase your risk of hypertension, prevent your liver from filtering out other toxins, contribute to tooth decay, weak bones, anxiety, headaches, disrupted sleep patterns, and dehydration, to name but a few. If you want to cut out (or cut back on) caffeine from your diet, you must be aware of other products that contain caffeine as well as the withdrawal symptoms. Unfortunately, caffeine is not only present in coffee and soda. It can be found in tea, baked products, chocolate, and chewing gum.   If you're thinking of cutting back or removing caffeine from your diet, you need to be prepared for possible withdrawal symptoms that may occur due to your body's shock at the lack of caffeine it is now getting. These withdrawal symptoms can include fatigue, depression, headaches, sleepiness, irritability, concentration problems, constipation, insomnia, anxiety, and nervousness. But don't worry, you'll survive and the withdrawals won't be so bad if you make use of the following helpful tips: 1. Practice Deep Breathing Deep breathing can be used to fight caffeine withdrawals such as strong cravings, anxiety, and restlessness. At the same time, deep breathing helps to eliminate toxins from your body. Method: 1. Lie on your back. 2. Place your hands on your abdomen and relax your muscles. 3. Inhale deeply through your nose, expanding your abdomen and then filling your lungs with air. Count to 5 as you inhale. 4. Hold your breath and count to 3. 5. Exhale slowly through your mouth while counting to 5. 6. Continue to do this for around 10 minutes. If it isn't viable for you to lie down, you can carry out the exercise while sitting down instead. This ensures that you can do it anywhere and at any time. 2. Drink Plenty of Water Drinking water is important for any addiction treatment, and caffeine addiction is no exception to this rule. One of the ways your body gets rid of excess caffeine is through urine. If you drink more water, you will obviously urinate more, therefore speeding up the elimination of toxins from your body. Although the amount of water that you should consume depends entirely on your health, climatic conditions and physical activity levels, the majority of people should drink 8 to 10 glasses of water each day. When you feel like you need a caffeine fix, it's a great time to reach for some water instead. 3. Sleep Tight Getting enough sleep also aids in your fight against a caffeine addiction. Drinking a cup of coffee before you go to sleep can make you feel more alert by blocking sleep-inducing chemicals in the brain and increasing the production of adrenaline (which will keep you awake). On the other hand, making an effort to sleep properly can help reduce your dependency on caffeine. The best way to do this is to have healthy sleep habits - you can do this by sleeping and getting up at a specific and consistent time each day. If you get proper sleep, you will not need your cup of coffee when you wake up in the morning or to stay alert during the day. 4. Switch to Green Tea If you end up having a strong craving for a warm beverage, something with caffeine, choose green tea. Green tea has a lot less caffeine in it than regular coffee or black tea and also has the added benefits of being packed with powerful antioxidants. These antioxidants help get rid of harmful toxins from your body. Drinking green tea will ultimately reduce your overall caffeine intake, so if you must have something with some caffeine in it then drink 4 to 5 cups of green tea a day instead of coffee. 5. Start Exercising When you exercise, your body is flooded with endorphins, which can help cure headaches (a common sign of caffeine withdrawal). Fatigue is also another common side effect of coming off caffeine, and this can also be fought off by increasing your daily activity. Exercise is especially important if you feel fatigued after waking up and your body is craving some caffeine - a 30 minute walk will shake off the fatigue and help you stay active. Also, go for a short walk in the afternoon if you start to feel sleepy. 6. Take Magnesium Supplements Drinking too much coffee has been linked to magnesium deficiency, so by taking some magnesium supplements you will be addressing this deficiency. To add to this, you can fight caffeine withdrawal symptoms, such as loss of appetite, muscle weakness, disturbed sleep, and headaches, by taking magnesium supplements. Magnesium is also a natural energizer, thus it helps fight off tiredness and fatigue. NOTE: Please consult your doctor before taking magnesium supplements. This is especially important if you suffer from heart or kidney disease, or are on some sort of medication. If you don't want to take supplements, you can just increase your intake of magnesium - rich foods, such as bananas, almonds, beans, tofu, pumpkin seeds, soy milk, cashews, pecans, walnuts, potatoes with skin, whole grains, green leafy vegetables and yogurt. 7. Opt for Herbal Teas and Healthy Juices Herbal teas are another great alternative to your cup of coffee. You can make rejuvenating herbal teas with a wide variety of herbs such as licorice, rosemary, chicory and lavender. If you're not a fan of herbs, consider replacing your cup of coffee with some healthy fruit juices or delicious smoothies. For example, you can make an energy-boosting drink by juicing together 2 cups of spinach and kale, 4 celery stalks, 1 green apple, 1/2 a cucumber and 1/2 a lemon. If you like, you can blend these along with some plain yogurt or coconut water to make a tasty green smoothie for breakfast. 8. Snack on Protein You might be in the habit of grabbing a cup of warm coffee or a soda when you feel fatigued in the afternoon, but you should have a protein-rich breakfast in the morning or reach for a protein-rich snack instead. Eating breakfast that is high in protein will help you feel fuller and provide you with sustained energy that can be used throughout the day. Therefore, you should think about eating a few eggs for breakfast. If you feel fatigued in the afternoon, reach for some almonds, roasted nuts, or some seeds instead of coffee. 9. Make Peppermint Your Friend Peppermint leaves as well as oil can be used to alleviate the pain of withdrawal headaches. If you're feeling a caffeine withdrawal headache coming on, place some peppermint oil on a handkerchief and start inhaling the lovely smell. You can even place some peppermint oil behind your ears or on your wrists. The scent of peppermint has been known to help reduce headaches. 10. Get Some Ginseng Ginseng can help alleviate the frequency of coffee withdrawals. It is a tonic for the adrenal glands, supports the immune system and restores a proper balance to the body, especially during periods of stress and anxiety. It also strengthens the kidneys, which are weakened from regular caffeine intake. To reduce your caffeine cravings, add 1 teaspoon of ginseng powder to your breakfast cereal or a glass of milk. You can also chew on some dried ginseng when you have a strong craving for caffeine. Please note that ginseng is not recommended for those who suffer from heart problems, diabetes, auto-immune diseases, schizophrenia or hormone-sensitive conditions. Additional Tips Make a list of foods that contain caffeine and take it with you when you go grocery shopping so you know what to avoid. Start off small when quitting caffeine as suddenly taking it out of your diet can make you restless. Find someone who wants to quit with you as you can motivate each other not to break your promise.

[www.keralites.net] "Religion was born when the first con man met the first fool." --Mark Twain

 

I do not believe that Mark Twain was entirely right when he said the above. There are many who are entirely sincere in believing in and propagating religion. One of the main advantages of religion is that it explains many mysteries of nature for those who are not willing to inquire deeply into the pros and cons of our existence. In this context religions provide easy answers as to the cause of our existence itself as well as to the evil as well as to the good things we encounter in life. Other factors that keep religions alive are fear and hope. Many stick to religion for fear of divine justice and hope of salvation in the hereafter. But such fears and hopes are mostly superficial. 

Anyone who really believes in divine justice would not worry about human justice in this world.  The Jews boasted all the time that they trusted in god implicitly and explicitly. But they also insisted on a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, because they were not absolutely certain as they boasted of divine justice and protection.

The same hypocrisy is evident in the belief in the hereafter. Though all believers boast that they trust in divine providence they would rather run to a doctor than continue on their way to god if they were bitten by a snake on the way to the Church or temple. 

It is evident from the above that believers trust rather in human justice and human medicine than in divine nonsense as they profess day in and day out. However they thank god out of their superstitious fears after they are saved by human intervention in courts and hospitals.

In spite of all the nonsense and hypocrisy touted by religions, they survive and thrive generation after generation mainly because of parental conditioning and indoctrination whereby we are indoctrinated from childhood by our parents before we are able to distinguish the corn from the chaff, before we are able to distinguish evil from good, before we are able to distinguish knowledge from superstitions.

Missionaries are blamed and even attacked and killed for converting illiterate adivasis and Dalits to Christianity after enticing them with milk powder and other gifts in cash and kind from abroad. But are we not doing essentially the same to our children by gaining their trust with our parental duties and then indoctrinating them relentlessly in our superstitious nonsense so that they will not even try to throw off their shackles of superstitious fear and priestly domination in every aspect of life?

[www.keralites.net] TODAY’S MESSAGE FROM TRI CHY PRASANNAN [6 Attachments]

 

My  Ugadi Greetings to all members

'Ugadi' Greetings ||

TODAY'S MESSAGE FROM TRICHY PRASANNAN

 

Subject: Why only Coconut and Banana are offered in the temples ?

 

 

Why only Coconut and Banana are offered in the temples ?

Coconut and Banana are the only two fruits which are considered to be the "Sacred fruits". All other fruits are tainted fruits (partially eaten fruits), meaning other fruits have seeds and which have the capacity to reproduce!

But in the case of coconut, if you eat coconut and throw its outer shell, nothing will grow out of it. If you want to grow a coconut tree, you have to sow the entire coconut itself.

Similarly Banana. If you eat a banana and throw its out sleeves, nothing will grow out of it. Banana tree is grown on its own when a banana plant start giving fruits.

The outer shell of coconut is the Ahamkara or ego, which one has to break. Once the ego is shed the mind will be as pure as the white tender coconut inside. The Bhavaavesha or Bhakthi will pour like the sweet water in it. The 3 eyes on the top they explain as Satwa, Raja and Tama or Past, Present and Future or Sthoola, Sukshma and Karana Sareera or body etc

Our ancestors had found this reality long ago and they had made it as a system which is till followed religiously.!
