Beetroot as anti-cancer diet
Ever heard of a food item that promises health and exhibits an exciting play of flavour and colour on our plates? We speak of a humble vegetable that boasts of its unparalleled taste, irresistible ruby-red colour and is loaded with nutrients. Beetroot is much more than just a vegetable, it easily fits into your culinary adventures and when added to preparations, it brings alive even the most mundane affairs.
Bundled with health benefits
The Radiant beetroot has been identified as a superfood due to its immense nutritional value. According to health experts, regular consumption of beetroot can benefit our health in a multiple ways. It's low in calories (45 calories per 100 gm.) and has almost negligible fat content. Not only this, it helps reduce blood pressure and aids in the production of red blood cells. Beetroot is an excellent source of iron and is great for maintaining healthy hemoglobin levels. It has anti-ageing properties and assists in maintaining glowing skin and lustrous hair. It is also believed to inhibit cancer cell mutation, prevent DNA damage, boost metabolism and strengthen the digestive system.
How to Buy
While buying beetroot, go for small and firm ones with a dark ruby blush. The vegetable should have an unblemished surface with bright hued leaves and an intact taproot. Avoid hairy taproots as they are indicative of the veggie being old and tough. To ensure freshness, buy the ones that are attached to their leaf stems. Since its leaves are also edible, they can be used in a variety of recipes.
How to store
Store it in a cool and dry place, ideally refrigerated for 7-10 days. For an enduring storage, the leaves need to be cut 2 inches from the root.
Tip: To ensure that the nutrients and colour of the beetroot remain intact, do not remove its skin before boiling it. Once cooked, rub off the skin under cold running water.

Swine Flu is a respiratory disease caused by Influenza viruses (H1N1) that infect the respiratory tract of pigs.
The virus can be transmitted to humans.

How is Swine Flu transmitted ?

Swine flu is contagious, and it spreads in the same way as the seasonal flu.
When people who have it cough or sneeze, they spray tiny drops of the virus into the air. If you come in contact with these drops or touch a surface (such as a doorknob or sink) that an infected person has recently touched, you can catch H1N1 Swine flu.

It is not transmitted by eating cooked pork products.

[www.keralites.net] Remedy For Irregular Periods

REMEDY FOR IRREGULAR PERIODS

Poly cystic ovary is a very common cause for irregular periods in adolescent and young girls. If obese bring down the Body Mass Index (BMI) to below 24. Avoid Junk food, chocolates and biscuits. Eat less of oily foods take lot of fresh vegetables. Regular exercise, not just walking have free time in the evenings with friends and get relaxed. Sleep well.If periods do not occur at right time after 3 months of these consult Gynecologist. But if there is excessive flow during the periods or if flow continues for more than 7-10 days and flow is very frequent less than 15 days better consult doctor. I have seen girls with hemoglobin less than 6 Gm% just due to irregular scanty flow alone.Low hemoglobin will make the girl inactive and dull with no concentration to studies and easily fatigable.

Dr.Sundaram M.K.

Irregular periods are quite a common problem in women. Women that have irregular lengths of menstrual cycle are quite concerned about it. Commonreasons for irregular periods are stress, lack of physical activity, heavy exercises, an imbalance of hormones at menarche or while nearing menopause, improper intake of diet and certain medications could be the cause of irregular periods.

It is quite rare that irregularity of periods could be due to an underlying complication. However, if a woman faces irregular periods for a long time, she must consult a doctor to make herself sure that she isn't having any trouble other than the common reasons.
7 Home Remedies For Irregular Periods

Although irregular periods mostly occur due to normal and general reasons and may not be mostly harmful, but this seems to be quite inconvenient for a woman.Having irregular menstrual cycle means, being prepared all the time which is mostly not comfortable.Hence, if you are quite sure that you are not suffering from any sort of complication after having referred a doctor, then you may try out the following home remedies to improve the regularity of your menstrual cycle.

Diet

Improving your diet is the easiest and the most convenient way to get rid of anydisease. Girls! high cholesterol levels can affect the blood flow towards your ovaries. Therefore eat a low fat diet. Have those foods which contain good fats such as fish oil, papaya, avocados, corn, pumpkin, legumes, etc.
Do not eat highly processed foods. Other foods such as white bread, white flour, pastas and white rice may also be a reason for irregular periods. Foods containing caffeine must also be avoided if one faces irregularity of periods.To balance your hormones, an adequate amount of protein intake is a must. Hence, include the foods in your diet that are rich in protein such as eggs, milk, almonds, walnuts, cheese, etc.
Iron Intake For Irregular Periods

Women who have low amounts of iron in their blood, may have a reduced menstrual flow because iron forms an important part of your red blood cells.Therefore, intake of foods that contains iron is quite necessary.
Weight Control

Being overweight or underweight could also be the reason behind irregular periods.Therefore, keep your body weight normal in relation to your age, height and physique.

Asafoetida

Asafloetida is the herb which is beneficial in regulating the menstrual cycle. Itincreases the production of progesterone and hence, is an effective one amongst the 'home remedies for irregular periods'.

If you go to a doctor to complain about having irregular periods, the second or third question they will ask you would be "are you taking any stress?"Stress does not only cause irregularity of periods but is also the reason behind many other health disorders. So to improve the regularity of periods, women must try to reduce their stress levels as much as possible.
Coriander Seeds

A tsp. of coriander seeds boiled in 2 cups of water would also make an effective home remedy for irregular periods.
Juice Intake

Intake of juices of grapes, carrot and bitter gourd daily is also known to regulate the menstrual cycle.

[www.keralites.net] FAT BURNING FOODS

Fat Burning Foods
fat burning foodsThis article will make every girl's dream come true. According to Janet Starr Hull, there are certain foods that burn fat before it can before it can be stored in the body. Hence, calories in fatty foods are reduced. This is also because the amount of calories required to digest these foods is more than the amount of calories you gain eating these foods. So read on and eat your way to a thinner and fitter you!
Fruits
Fruits are an excellent fat burning food as majority of them are low in calories and contain a lot of fiber. Fiber helps to burn fat in 3 ways: it helps in speeding up your metabolism, aids in slowing down digestion and helps in extending a person's energy. Due to this reason, you can combine them with fatty foods like cheese and meats to prevent weight gain. Apples, oranges, limes, grapefruit, tangerines, raspberries, grapefruit, blueberries and guava are an excellent source of fiber. Moreover, eating watermelon eliminates toxins from the body and removes excess water. Have it when you feel bloated or have consumed high sodium foods.
Vegetables
Most vegetables contain some form of natural fiber. It is of two types: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber forms a gel in the digestive tract while being digested. This gel not only requires energy to be digested but also helps you to stay full longer. Vegetables rich in soluble fiber include carrots, artichokes, eggplant, broccoli, tomatoes and celery. On the other hand, insoluble fiber moves quickly through the digestive tract taking waste and toxins along with it. Eating these foods when you're feeling overfull or constipated helps relieve these symptoms and burn excess calories. The vegetables which contain insoluble fiber are spinach, mustard greens, kale, green beans, legumes, Brussells sprouts and cabbage. You can reduce the gas caused by some of these foods by cooking them.
Proteins
Most of the fat burning sources of protein is found in seafood. Fish and shellfish are the two sources of protein that require a lot of energy to burn. One 4 oz. fillet of tilapia has 93 calories and four large shrimp have 22 calories all together. However, there are other types of protein that are fat burning. These include crabs, clams, mussels, lobsters, oysters, shrimp, sea bass and flounder. Team one of these up with a fat burning vegetable cabbage or spinach to create a healthy meal.
Additionally, there are quite a few foods which are high in protein that help burn belly fat. These are both vegetarian and non vegetarian options to choose from. Lentils, broccoli, kidney beans, corn and baked potatoes are all excellent sources of protein. If you prefer non-vegetarian food, then there is an array of meats to choose from such as lean hamburger, fish, tuna, broiled beef steak and roasted chicken. Plenty of other foods such as dairy products, rice, whole wheat bread, eggs and tofu also contain significant amounts of protein. Mix and match the ingredients while cooking to get the best results. The key is to make sure that your sources of protein are lean and very low in fat..
Follow these tips and experience the difference fat burning foods can make!

[www.keralites.net] CHILD - A GOLDEN GIFT

CHILD - A GOLDEN GIFT
Plese share if you like this.THANKS
- M.D..HEGDE
Some time ago, a friend of mine punished his 3-year old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight, and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy." He was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found that the box was empty. He yelled at her, "Don't you know when you give someone a present, there's supposed to be something inside of it?"
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Daddy, it;s not empty. I blew kisses into the box. All for you, Daddy."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and begged for forgiveness. My friend told me that he kept that old box by his bed for years. Whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us as parents has been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
