[www.keralites.net] SURPRISING HEALTH BENEFITS OF APPLES

 

 13 Surprising Household Uses for Apples
Apples are one of the world's most favorite fruits, and it's easy to see why: They're delicious, healthy and come in a variety of colors and sizes. Did you know, however, that apples are also incredibly useful? Here are 13 more uses for apples that you possibly didn't know:
Apples
1. Migraine Relief
If you suffer from migraines, you know that it's hard to even describe the level of pain and discomfort caused by one. Recent studies show that smelling a green apple helps relieve some of the uneasiness caused by the migraine.
2. Prevent Sugar from Crystallizing
Brown sugar is much healthier (and arguably – tastier) than white sugar. The only problem with it, is that it tends to clump and crystalize. To prevent this from happening, put a piece of apple in a small fabric pouch and put it in the same container as the sugar. The apple will absorb the moisture that causes the clumping.
3. Accelerate Ripening of Fruits
Some fruits emit a gas called Ethylene that hastens the ripening of other fruits. If you want those avocados and bananas to be ready faster, put a whole apple next to them and it will do the job!
Apples
4. Preserve Baked Goods
Bread and cakes tend to dry out quickly, even when kept in sealed containers. To prevent them from drying out, put half an apple into the container you keep the pastry in!
5. General Cleaner
Instead of using those chemical-filled industrial cleaners, why not make your own effective, antiseptic, deodorizing cleaner? Simply mix equal amounts of apple-cider vinegar and water into a spray bottle, and there you have it!
6. Natural Sweetener
Apples are an excellent replacement for sugar, as they add their unique flavor without overpowering the dish/drink. Apples contain fructose, which is healthier than white sugar and even more than artificial sweeteners! Try adding grated apples to dishes instead of sugar and you'll be amazed!
7. Facial Mask
Apples contain a structural heteropolysaccharide called Pectin, which helps your facial skin. To use it as a mask – grate it and mix with honey, then apply the mixture to your face. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes, then wash it off.
Apples
8. Prevent Nausea
Many people suffer from motion sickness while riding in a car, but eating a green apple can help reduce the feeling of nausea.
9. Treat Allergies
Apples contain a chemical called Quercetin, which helps the immune system limit the amount of histamines it produces during an allergic reaction. Histamines are what causes the allergic symptoms, so reducing their amount will help ease your allergies.
10. Make a Fancy Drink
In recent years, flavored vodka has become quite popular, but its price can be much higher than of regular vodka. If you fancy some apple-flavored vodka, simply follow this recipe:
Cut some apples and put them in a sealable jar
Cover the apples in vodka, seal the jar and it let sit for a few days
If the taste is not yet to your liking, simply let it sit until it does
Apples
11. Doggy Treats
While there are many foods you shouldn't give your dog, apples happen to be one of the healthiest and most recommended fruits for dogs. Apples are much healthier than processed dog-treats, but be sure to avoid giving your dog the core! Apple seeds contain cyanide which is very poisonous for humans and dogs alike.
12. Flea Treatment
Apple-cider vinegar is incredibly effective at getting rid of fleas. Mix equal amounts of water and vinegar, apply it to your pet's fur and gently massage it into the skin. The vinegar will chase away the fleas quickly and effectively.
13. Fix Over-Salted Food
If you happen to add too-much salt to a dish you're making, just cut a few pieces of apple and put them in the pot. The apple will absorb the salt without damaging the flavor of the dish.

[www.keralites.net] HEALTH BENEFITS OF CORIANDER

 

Nutritional Value of Coriander
Its uses in global food preparation is only the tip of the iceberg. Unbeknownst to many people, coriander is packed with potential health benefits that most people completely miss when they toss this garnish into the garbage after eating their meal. It has eleven components of essential oils, six types of acids (including ascorbic acid, better known as vitamin-C), minerals and vitamins, each having a number of beneficial properties. A more complete list is given below.
CorianderHealth benefits of coriander
Skin inflammation: Cineole, one of the 11 components of the essential oils, and linoleic acid, are both present in coriander, and they possess antirheumatic and antiarthritic properties. They help to reduce the swelling that is caused by these two conditions. For other swelling conditions, such as swelling due to kidney malfunction or anemia, it is also seen to be effective to some extent, because some of the components in coriander help the induce urination and the release of excess water from the body. The reduction in skin inflammation can lead to increased functioning, a reduction in discomfort, and an improvement in skin appearance.
Skin disorders: The disinfectant, detoxifying, antiseptic, antifungal and antioxidant properties of coriander are ideal for clearing up skin disorders such as eczema, dryness and fungal infections.
Low cholesterol levels: Some of the acids present in coriander, like linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and ascorbic acid (vitamin-C) are very effective in reducing the cholesterol levels in the blood. They also reduce the level of bad cholesterol (LDL) deposition along the inner walls of the arteries and veins, which can lead to serious cardiovascular issues like artherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes. More importantly, coriander helps to raise the levels of healthy cholesterol (HDL), which works as a preventative line of defense against a number of dangerous conditions.
Diarrhea: Some of the components of essential oils found in coriander such as Borneol and Linalool, aid in digestion, proper functioning of the liver and bonding of bowels, while also helping to reduce diarrhea. It is also helpful in curing diarrhea caused by microbial and fungal action, since components like Cineole, Borneol, Limonene, Alpha-pinene & beta-phelandrene have antibacterial effects.
Coriander is also increasingly popular as a means of preventing nausea, vomiting, and other stomach disorders. Its wealth of bioactive compounds means that new health benefits are always being discovered in this power-packed plant.
In addition to these health aspects of the stomach, fresh coriander leaves are excellent appetizers to get your bowels prepared for a large meal.
Blood pressure: Consuming coriander has been shown to positively reduce blood pressure in many patients suffering from hypertension. The interaction of Calcium ions and cholinergic, a neurotransmitter in the peripheral and central nervous system, more commonly know as acetylcholine. The interaction of these two elements relaxes blood vessel tension, thereby reducing the chances of a number of cardiovascular conditions, including heart attacks and strokes.
Mouth ulcers: Citronelol, a component of essential oils in coriander, is an excellent antiseptic. Additionally, other components have antimicrobial and healing effects which keep wounds and ulcers in the mouth from worsening. They help speed up the healing process of ulcers and also freshen breath. Although not in common use in mainstream products, coriander is often used as an antiseptic component of all-natural toothpastes. In fact, before the invention of toothpaste, people would chew on coriander seeds to reduce bad breath!
Anemia: Coriander is high in iron content, which directly helps people who suffer from anemia. Low iron content in the blood can result in shortness of breath, heart palpitations, extreme fatigue, and a decrease in cognitive functions. Iron also benefits proper functions of other organ systems, increases energy and strength, and promotes the health of bones.
Anti-allergic properties: Multiple studies have shown coriander to have strong anti-histamine properties that can reduce the uncomfortable affects of seasonal allergies and hay fever (rhinitis). Coriander oil can also be used to reduce allergic reactions to contact with plants, insects, food, and other substances that may cause allergic reactions on the skin or when consumed. Internally, it can ward off anaphylaxis, hives, and dangerous swelling of the throat and glands. It's never a bad idea to protect yourself against allergic reactions, especially since it is difficult to know what you might be allergic to, until you come in contact with it for the first time!

Salmonella protection: Salmonella is one of the most dangerous causes of food borne illnesses in the world, so any natural way to protect against it is very important. Coriander has unusually high levels of dodecenal, a natural compound that is actually twice as powerful of an antibiotic than the leading treatment for salmonella-based illness. By adding coriander into your normal diet, you protect your body from horribly uncomfortable, and even fatal, illnesses relating to this deadly bacteria. Coriander is commonly found in salsa to add flavor, so dip a chip and protect yourself from food poisoning, the most common way of describing the effects of salmonella.
Bone health: As a rich source of calcium, coriander is of great value for people who want to protect the integrity of their bones. Calcium and other essential minerals found in coriander are integral components of bone regrowth and durability, as well as in the prevention of bone degradation so commonly associated with debilitating diseases like osteoporosis. Adding even a small amount of coriander to your diet can help to keep your bones healthy and strong for years to come. Calcium is particularly present in the center leaves of coriander, so aim for that part of the plant if bone health is your focus!
Digestion: Coriander, due to the rich aroma from its essential oils, helps in the proper secretion of enzymes and digestive juices in the stomach, thereby stimulating digestion and peristaltic motion. It is also helpful in treating eating disorders like anorexia. Besides the pleasant aroma of coriander, it has certain stimulatory qualities, derived from the minerals and neurotransmitters that are stimulated when coriander is ingested. Studies have shown that dyspepsia (indigestion) is reduced if coriander is regularly added to the diet. For small children, who have a higher chance of developing abdominal colic than adults, small amounts of coriander in their diet can clear the issue up quickly!
Smallpox: The essential oils in coriander are rich in antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-infectious and detoxifying components and acids. The presence of vitamin-C and iron strengthens the immune system as well. These properties help prevent and cure smallpox, and they can also reduce the pain and have a soothing effect on smallpox patients. In the places left in the world where smallpox outbreaks occur, studies have shown massive amounts of vitamin-C have a definite curative effect on smallpox in hundreds of different cases.
Menstrual disorders: Coriander is a natural stimulant, and it regulates proper secretion from the endocrine glands, and that hormonal impact means that it helps regulate proper menstrual cycles and reduces the associated pain during a woman's period.
Eye care: Coriander is loaded with antioxidants, vitamin-A, vitamin-C and minerals like phosphorous in its essential oils, which prevents vision disorders, macular degeneration and it reduces strain and stress on the eyes. There is also beta-carotene in the leaves, which prevent a number of other diseases that affect the eye, and can even reverse the effects of vision degradation in aging patients.
Conjunctivitis: As discussed earlier, coriander is a very good disinfectant and has antimicrobial properties that protect the eyes from contagious diseases like conjunctivitis. Coriander oil is one of the fundamental components of a number of eye care products.
CorianderBlood sugar and diabetes: Due the stimulating effect of coriander on the endocrine glands, the secretion of insulin is increased from pancreas which subsequently increases the insulin level in the blood. This regulates the proper assimilation and absorption of sugar and the resulting drops in the sugar level in the blood. This property is extremely beneficial for patients who suffer from diabetes and other related conditions, in order to lower their chances of dangerous spikes and drops in their blood sugar levels, and to ensure other normal metabolic functions as well.
Other benefits: Coriander helps cure ulcers, inflammation, spasms, while acting as an expectorant and protecting the liver. It is anticarcinogenic, anticonvulsant, antihistaminic and hypnotic. Coriander is believed to be a natural aphrodisiac and traditionally, it was widely used in certain combinations with other herbs to enhance a person's libido.
Word of Caution: There have been very few dangers associated with coriander, but as with almost any food, there is some danger of allergic reaction to it, and in some cases, it can be irritating to the skin. One of the more unusual side effects is that some patients complain of sunlight sensitivity, and that excessive coriander intake makes them more susceptible to sunburn, which could subsequently lead to skin cancer over the long term.
Pregnant women should not take coriander until more established research is done, although some women have claimed that it increases their production of breast milk flow. It is best to be safe, so speak with a doctor before adding coriander to your diet, and pay attention to the response your body has!

Wow, Wow - True love

Woman left with 'no nose and mouth' after horrific car crash weds the man who had a crush on her at high school - as he says 'love isn't about a face' :-


Man reveals he married high school crush after she was left with disfigured face

Father-of-two Jayaprakash, from India, said he met Sunitha at the age of 17

Fast forward 10 years, the couple proved their love can overcome any challenges

The pair drifted apart when Sunitha moved to Bangalore after finishing school

In 2011, Jayaprakash received a phone call Sunitha had been in a car accident

When he visited her in hospital he saw a 'disfigured face with no nose and mouth'

Despite her disfigurement, looks didn't discourage him from marrying her


Father-of-two Jayaprakash (pictured with his now-wife Sunitha and their children Atmia and Atmik), from India, has revealed how he married his high school crush after she was left with a disfigured face following a horrific car crash

'I was 17 when I saw a new girl walk past my classroom. I couldn't stop staring. I had never seen anyone like her,' he wrote.

'Over time, we became friends but my heart sulked every time I saw her with someone else. Soon, I stopped talking to her even though she had no idea why.'

The pair eventually drifted apart when Sunitha moved to Bangalore after they wrapped up school.

'I got into college but never met another soul like her,' he said.

But in 2007, he received a phone call on his birthday from Sunitha out of the blue.

'My heart started beating like the 17-year-old I was,' Jayaprakash recalled.

'The call lasted only two minutes but for me, it was like eternity. We stayed in touch occasionally, but soon got busy with our lives.'


The mother-of-two was left with a disfigured face following a horrific car crash (pictured)

And in November 2011, Jayaprakash received a life-changing phone call from a mutual friend saying Sunitha had been in a car accident.


'I thought it would be something minor, so I called her two days later. I did not recognise the voice that answered,' he recalled.

'When I went to visit, I saw a person with no hair, a disfigured face, no nose, no mouth and no teeth, walking like a 90-year-old. I was stunned. I broke down.

'That moment, I realised that I love her.'

And so Jayaprakash expressed his love for Sunitha by proposing to her.

'Later that night, I sent her a text. 'I am the only person who can take care of you. I love you. Let's get married',' he said.

'She called and I proposed again. She laughed but she didn't say no.'


From there, he moved to Bangalore to be by his wife-to-be's beside as she underwent surgeries.

By January 2014, the couple started preparing for their wedding.

'There were people who questioned why we needed a wedding now. They even asked her not to have babies because they'd have her face,' he said.


'People still look at her with pity and think I did a big thing by marrying her. The reality is, I married the love of my life and my life changed for the better.

'Today, we have two kids and wonderful mornings to wake up together.'

Despite getting cruel remarks about her disfigurement, Jayaprakash said looks didn't discourage him from falling deeply in love with her.

'Today, I am married to my teenage crush,' he said.

'She became my love. Love isn't about a face or imposed conditions or external beauty. It is a connection of souls. It feels right.

'All I know is that I love her to the moon and back, infinity and beyond, forever.'
