[www.keralites.net] 15 Healthy USES OF LEMONS

 

15 Healthy Facts and Uses For Lemons
Lemons are some of the most common citrus fruits in the world, and most of us use them almost every single day. But how much do we really know about lemons? Are we fully aware of just how beneficial they are for us, and how many other ways there are to use them, besides eating?
After reading these 15 facts and uses, you will definitely try to eat more lemons and use them in more creative ways. If you are the kind of person who never liked lemons, despite their rich taste, high vitamin C, antioxidants, B-vitamins, calcium and more, this just might be the thing to change your mind!
Restoring the pH levels in your body:
The stress of modern life, junk food, pollution, lack of exercise and other toxins we accumulate can throw our body off balance. Although lemons are very acidic, their nutrient content is alkaline-forming and thus helps make our body more resistant to a number of health problems. A cup of warm water with some lemon squeezed in will help you start your day in a healthy way.
Helping with your digestion process:
Lemons are powerfully antibacterial and as such they destroy bad bacteria in your body and allow good bacteria to flourish. The good bacteria help with problems such as indigestion and constipation. A glass of water mixed with the juice of one lemon, or any other means of combining lemons with a large meal, will help stimulate peristalsis and the production of stomach acids that will aid the digestion process. 
A helpful dietary aid:
When you're on a diet, a lemon can be your best friend for a number a reasons. First, it contains Pectin, a fiber that can help you feel fuller and eat less. Thanks to this, a glass of lemon tea before a meal can help prevent overeating. Second, lemon juice happens to be a natural diuretic. This means it helps the body get rid of excess water it doesn't need through increased urination, this will make you feel less heavy and puffy.
Natural parasite killer:
Parasites and intestinal worms are very hard to get rid of, but there is a key element to getting rid of them that lemons contain. Parasites love acidic environments and drinking lemon juice or eating lemons will make your digestive system a more balanced environment, one that is hostile to parasites.
Natural mouth wash:
If you have bad breath or canker sores, a lemon might be an easy, cheap and simple way to deal with them. Apply fresh lemon juice to the area or gargle just like any other oral care aid. If you have bleeding gums, you can massage freshly squeezed lemon juice to the problematic area and deal with the bacteria causing all the pain directly.
Relax and increase concentration:
The gentle scent of a lemon has been scientifically proven to have a calming effect. The lemon's essential oil has the ability to increase your level of concentration and alertness while working or studying, just by enjoying the fresh scent they emit.
Exfoliate and renew your skin:
The vitamin C in lemons has a beneficial effect on your skin as well as your body. Many skin care products are high on vitamin C because it stimulates cell renewal by gently exfoliating your skin. By using a slice of lemon as a facial scrub, you will remove stubborn dirt and dead skin from your face and reveal the fresh, clean and healthy layer underneath.
Take better care of your liver:
Herbalists and naturopaths claim that the sourness of lemons signals the body to activate the liver and kidneys, and that the antioxidants in the lemon help enhance kidney and liver function. This enables them to better detoxify themselves and the rest of the body. As previously mentioned, lemons are also a mild diuretic, so they encourage your body to release stored, unused water along with the accumulated waste products flushed out by your liver.
Lower your blood pressure:
The Pectin in lemons can help lower cholesterol that causes high blood pressure. Flavonoids, as well as vitamin P, also serve to strengthen the blood vessels themselves and lower the risk of them being damaged by high blood pressure.
Keep a dandruff-free head:
A simple way to treat dandruff by yourseves is to make a hair mask using lemon juice and other natural ingredients like coconut oil. Use this mask to moisturize your dry scalp, but don't use it for too long or too often as lemon juice can also lighten your hair color.
Take better care of your feet:
The solution for rough and scaly feet might be right inside your kitchen. The citric acid along with the vitamin C in lemons can take off dead skin, enhance skin renewal, and brighten dark skin areas. Simply soak your feet in some hot water mixed with the juice of 2-3 lemons, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and ¼ cup of milk for about 20 minutes. Your feet will not only be softer than ever but will also smell much better!
A homemade cure for fever and chills:
Lemon tea and lemon juice have long been used as homemade remedies to help lower fever. A cup of lemon tea with honey every few hours should help subside any chill or fever you might have. Of course, if the fever persists - go see a doctor.
lemon tea
Get healthy glowing skin:
Lemons aren't just used to repair damaged skin, the high levels of vitamin C found in lemons are used by your body to make collagen and elastin. Both are tissues responsible for giving your skin a glowing and youthful appearance. Simply start eating more lemons, or apply lemon juice to your skin, and after a short while you will see the effect.
Pain relief:
The oils found in lemons create an aroma that relaxes blood vessels and reduces inflammation, both key factors in pain relief. If you suffer from sore joints or other inflammatory diseases, drink a glass of lemon water every day and it could help ease your symptoms. Lemon extract can even help alleviate pain caused by sunburn if applied to the skin with water and gently rubbed on the painful area.
A treatment for varicose veins:
Lemons have the ability to strengthen blood vessels, and so can be used to reduce the appearance of varicose veins, making your legs look younger and healthier. Add a few drops of lemon essential oil to a moisturizing oil of your choosing (like jojoba or avocado oil) and rub the mixture on the affected area. Doing so on a regular basis will slowly make the veins disappear from the top of your skin.

[www.keralites.net] 5 Foods to avoid for healthy Kidneys

 

5 Foods To Avoid For Healthy Kidneys
Why These 5 Foods Are Bad for Your Kidneys -
Are you really sure the foods you eat won't harm your kidneys?
Kidneys are the filters of your body. Your health greatly depends on how well your kidneys are working. What you eat makes a huge difference to kidney wellness. It is crucial to know what goes into your mouth is helping or harming your kidney function, isn't it?
What foods should you avoid for maintaining renal wellness?
There are certain precautions you should take in consuming foods that may prove detrimental for your kidneys. They are listed below:
Sodium:
Any food that has a good amount of sodium content puts strain on your kidneys and causes water retention. Your kidneys have to work extra hard to maintain the fluid balance of the body.
Stay away from adding too much salt to your cooking. Stop consuming processed foods like pickles, bread, potato chips, pasta, ketchup, ready to eat meals etc. in order to keep up your kidney function.
Sweets and Artificial sweeteners:
Sugar forms an inseparable part of life, till you develop any medical reason to refrain from it. But it is best to avoid sugar in all forms to maintain good renal health. Chocolates, doughnuts, cakes, sweets, bread, candies, colas, shakes and ice creams are the obvious sources of sugared food stuff. They are full of too much sugar and put great strain on your kidneys. The hidden sugar added in processed foods is equally damaging for your kidney function.
Artificial sweeteners contain loads of harmful chemical that increase toxicity and acid content in your body. This makes your kidneys function less efficiently than before.
Carbonated beverages, energy bars, ice-cream, chocolate pies etc. are some of the foods that may have artificial sweeteners. Avoid such items to maintain good renal health.
Caffeine:
Caffeine is a stimulant. It finds its way easily into your kitchen shelf in the form of tea, coffee or chocolates. It is highly addictive. It can strain your kidneys and cause renal failure in the long term.
If your kidneys are already overworked, avoid caffeine in any form altogether. Caffeine has the potential to enhance formation of stone in your kidneys. So, even short term consumption of caffeine may affect your kidneys adversely.
Animal protein:
Consumption of animal protein taxes your kidneys. When animal protein gets processed in your body, uric acid is formed. This heightens the risk of forming uric acid stones in the kidneys.
When acid level in your body increases, the body tries to balance it out by increasing its alkalinity. For this calcium and other nutrients are pulled from your bones. This leads to low bone density and more strain on your kidneys to flush out the toxins.
Meats of all kinds are super rich in animal protein content. Switching to a veggie diet is a good way to maintain pH balance of your body and to boost your kidney health.
Carbonated drinks:
All carbonated beverages are harmful for your kidney health. Drinking even sugar free soda drinks may strain your kidneys and may cause chronic kidney disease.
Besides kidney damage, they also deplete calcium from your bones, leaving you prone to fractures due to brittle bones.
What you need to do now!
Whether or not you have kidney ailments, follow a diet pattern that aids your kidneys in flushing out the waste material from your body. Food items that make your kidneys work harder will eventually take a toll on their wellness. It is best to avoid them. Get a food chart made by your family physician to suit your body type and follow it for sustaining good renal health.
With proper vigilance and following the diet recommended by your health practitioner you can keep your kidneys in a great shape and even treat kidney disorders. It definitely gives you long term benefits in retaining renal wellenss!

[www.keralites.net] I AM 70, I AM TIRED

 

 I'm 70 and I'm Tired
This should be required reading for every man, woman, and child
in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
By Robert A. Hall
I'm 70 ... Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a 6-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired.
I'm tired ... of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.
I'm tired ... of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives, and daughters for their family "honor," of Muslims rioting over some slight offense, of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers," of Muslims burning schools for girls, of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery," of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls, all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Sharia law tells them to.
I'm tired ... of being told that, out of "tolerance for other cultures," we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America and Canada, while no American nor Canadian group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue, or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.
I'm tired ... of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.
I'm tired ... of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off?
I'm tired ... of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers, and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes, or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I'm real tired ... of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems.
Yes, I'm am tired ... but I'm also glad to be 70, because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my grandchildren.
Robert A. Hall is a Marine Vietnam veteran who served five terms in the Massachusetts State Senate.
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless
each of us sends it on!
This is your chance to make a difference.

[www.keralites.net] Beautiful letter by a Father To his Son

 

 Beautiful letter written by a father to his son and daughter*��
*Make sure your children read it too.*
Following is a letter to his daughter from a renowned Hong Kong TV Broadcaster and Child Psychologist.
The words are actually applicable to all of us, young or old, children or parents.! 
This applies to all sons daughters too.
All parents can use this in their teachings to their children.
Dear daughter,
I am writing this to you because of 3 reasons..._
1. Life, fortune and mishaps are unpredictable, nobody knows how long he lives._
2. I am your father, and if I don't tell you these, no one else will._
3. Whatever written is my own personal bitter experiences that perhaps could save you a lot of unnecessary heartaches._
*Remember the following as you go through life.*_
_1. Do not bear grudge towards those who are not good to you. No one has the responsibility of treating you well, except your mother and I._
To those who are good to you, you have to treasure it and be thankful, and ALSO you have to be cautious, because, everyone has a motive for every move. When a person is good to you, it does not mean he really will be good to you. You have to be careful, don't hastily regard him as a real friend._
2.. No one is indispensable, nothing is in the world that you must possess.
_Once you understand this idea, it would be easier for you to go through life when people around you don't want you anymore, or when you lose what you wanted the most.
3. Life is short._ 
_When you waste your life today, tomorrow you would find that life is leaving you. The earlier you treasure your life, the better you enjoy life.
4. Love is nothing but a transient feeling, and this feeling would fade with time and with one's mood. If your so called loved one leaves you, be patient, time will wash away your aches and sadness.
Don't over exaggerate the beauty and sweetness of love, and don't over exaggerate the sadness of falling out of love.
5. A lot of successful people did not receive a good education, that does not mean that you can be successful by not studying hard! Whatever knowledge you gain is your weapon in life..
One can go from rags to riches, but one has to start from some rags !
6. I do not expect you to financially support me when I am old, neither would I financially support your whole life. My responsibility as a supporter ends when you are grown up. After that, you decide whether you want to travel in a public transport or in your limousine, whether rich or poor.
7. You honour your words, but don't expect others to be so. You can be good to people, but don't expect people to be good to you. If you don't understand this, you would end up with unnecessary troubles.
8. I have bought lotteries for umpteen years , but could never strike any prize. That shows if you want to be rich, you have to work hard! There is no free lunch !
9. No matter how much time I have with you, let's treasure the time we have together. We do not know if we would meet again in our next life.
_Your Parents_
_X Y Z_
*Read it twice*
*Ask your son and daughter to read it thrice.*
*Worth a read.*

[www.keralites.net] PRAYER BY SENIOR CITIZEN

 

 PRAYER BY A SENIOR CITIZEN..
Blessed are those; 
Who look at me with kindness. 
Who keep pace with me. 

Who consider my fading ears. 
Who behold my trembling ways. 
Who recall fond memories of yester years. 
Who patiently bear with all repeats. 
Who sing and dance to my varied tunes. 
Who ignore my casual whims and fancies. 
Who accompany me in my loneliness. 
Who lighten my burdens each day. 
Who cheer me up with smile, song and laughter. 
Who are near me as I reach heaven's door
