1. Nutrient Absorption : Noodles
inhibit the absorption of nutrients for
the children under 5.

2. Cancer Causing : The ingredient in
the instant noodles called "Styrofoam',
Which is a cancer causing agent.

3. Miscarriage : Women who are
Eating instant noodles during their
pregnancy causes miscarriage, because
it affect the development of a fetus.

4. Junk Food : instant noodles are
enriched with full of carbohydrates,but
no vitamins, fiber and minerals. This
makes the instant noodles considered as
a junk food.

5. Sodium : Instant noodles are power
packed with high amounts of sodium.
Excess consumption of sodium leads to
heart disease, stroke, hypertension and
kidney damage.

6. MSG : Monosodium Glutamate is
used to enhance the flavour of instant
noodles. People who are allergic to MSG

A two minute walk can undo harms of over sitting
Click here to join World Malayali Club

With evidence mounting that sitting for long stretches of time is unhealthy , many of us naturally wonder how best to respond. Should we stand up, or is merely standing insufficient? Must we also stroll or jog or do jumping jacks?

A new study offers some helpful perspective, suggesting that even a few minutes per hour of moving instead of remaining in a chair might substantially reduce the harms of over sitting. As most of us have heard by now, long bouts of sitting can increase someone's risk for diabetes, heart disease, obesity, kidney problems and premature death. These risks remain elevated even if someone exercises but then spends most of the rest of his or her waking hours in a chair.

In a representative and sobering study being published next month in Diabetologia, scientists found that every hour that overweight adults spent watching television, which is a handy way to measure sitting time at home, increased their risk of becoming diabetic by 3.4%. But despite such health concerns, simply advising people to abandon their chairs and stand all day is impractical. Many of us who have experimented with standing or treadmill desks have discovered that they can have their own deleterious impacts on typing accuracy, general productivity and our lower backs.

But because this study is observational, said Dr Srinivasan Beddhu, a professor at the University of Utah, it doesn't prove that walking instead of sitting directly reduces death risk, only that the two are associated.

THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF "OVER THE COUNTER" MEDICINES ......

SOLD FREELY IN PHARMACIES WITHOUT ANY REGULATIONS AND MEDICAL SUPERVISION, ONE MAY THINK THAT THE OTC MEDICINES ARE SAFE TO USE. ... 

BUT PAINKILLERS LIKE IBUPROFEN AND PARACETAMOL CAN BE DETRIMENTAL TO UR HEALTH. PROLONGED USE OF SOME OF THESE DRUGS CAN LEAD TO EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE LIVER AND KIDNEYS AND EVEN HEART ATTACKS AND STROKES. 

SO WHAT ARE THE DANGERS IN TAKING THESE DRUGS AND HOW CAN U AVOID THEM ???

READ ON, TO LEARN MORE ...

=====================================================================================

HOW DRUGS BECOME AVAILABLE ...

Before drugs appear on shelves in pharmacies, they go through many stages of research and testing, meant to verify its efficacy, safety and potential side effects. In the first, pre-clinical phase, the pharmacological properties of the drug are tested on laboratory animals and human tissue cultures. Tests also include the potential of causing birth defects or growths in embryos. If the initial phase is successful, researches move to initial clinical trials on healthy volunteers, using low dosage of the drug to learn both how it affects humans and its level of effectiveness.

In the second clinical phase, researchers screen and select hundreds of patients, giving them different dosages of the drug. This process takes about 2 years, and then progresses to the third clinical stage – dispensing the drug to thousands of patients through local medical centers. In order to verify the drug's real effects, some control groups receive placebos instead. Once these 4 stages are deemed successful, researchers apply for government approval. This, however, doesn't conclude the testing phase, because as more people are exposed to the drug, new side effects that weren't previously diagnosed may arise.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DANGEROUS SIDE-EFFECTS OF POPULAR DRUGS.

Each drug has its array of potential side-effects, so before you pop that pill, read this guide and make sure you're aware of the potential harm it may cause:

1. IBUPROFEN : KIDNEY & LIVER DAMAGE, HEART ATTACKS.

COMMERCIAL NAME : ADVIL, NEUROFEN.

Towards the end of WWII, the Bayer Company discovered Aspirin's ability to reduce inflammation and pain. Since that time, the NSAID family expanded to include many other drugs that suppress 2 enzymes called COX. The most popular of these is ibuprofen; developed by Dr. Stewart Adams in an improvised laboratory he made in his home kitchen. It actually took him several years of developing the drug before he presented it to the company, getting them to invest in further development.

As we all know, no drug is free of side-effects – Ibuprofen may cause gastric bleeding if used for a prolonged period. For this reason, ibuprofen is not recommended for people suffering from stomach ulcers or gastric inflammation, people who take blood-thinners or those suffering from clotting problems. Ibuprofen may also diminish the effects of certain blood-pressure medication.

In extreme cases, ibuprofen may even be far more dangerous: In about 15% of users, liver damage occurs. Initial symptoms are a rise in liver enzymes in the blood which may hint to liver damage. In rarer cases, ibuprofen causes severe liver damage, leading to jaundice, Hepatitis, irreversible damage of liver cells and even liver failure. Without a replacement liver, patients may even die.

2. PARACETAMOL : ONE OF THE MOST TOXIC MEDICATION AVAILABLE.

COMMERCIAL NAME : TYLENOL, PAIN RELIEF, PANADOL.

While widely available and commonly found in most people's medicine cabinet, very few know the extent of paracetamol's toxicity.

Paracetamol side-effects are very rare, but over dosage may be fatal: Taking 8 grams a day (more than 16 pills) can lead to irreversible liver damage and might even lead to death. Maximum allowed dosage is 3 grams per day (6 pills), spaced out into 500mg every 4 hours.

It is most dangerous when combined with alcohol, blood-pressure medication, grapefruit juice or supplements that contain Hypericum: Such combination may cause widespread liver damage. Consult the information booklet before taking it in combination with other medicine.

3. ASPIRIN : FAMILIAR BUT UNSAFE.

COMMERCIAL NAME : ASPIRIN.

One of the medicine world's greatest invention, aspirin's power comes from Salicylic Acid – the main ingredient. Salicylic acid was discovered to not only lower a fever and reduce pain, but also as an effective blood-thinner that can prevent heart attacks and strokes. Recently, it was even discovered that it may prevent some types of cancer, but despite all these benefits, using aspirin is not risk-free.

Aspirin inhibits the COX-1 enzyme, which is in-charge of mucus production and the COX-2 enzyme that regulates body temperature, pain sensation and inflammation. In recent years, aspirin's preventative properties were discovered to not only include blood-thinning, but also reduce blockage-causing inflammations in blood vessels that cause heart-attacks and strokes.

One of the major side-effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is their tendency to irritate the stomach and cause ulcers and bleeding, this is due to their inhibition of the enzyme in-charge of mucus production. This is the main reason why it's highly recommended to take aspirin only on a full stomach. In rare cases, Aspirin may trigger Reye's Syndrome in children and adolescents, and can lead to brain and liver damage. This is why it is forbidden to give aspirin to children under the age of 12.

ASPIRIN SHOULD NOT BE COMBINED WITH THE FOLLOWING DRUGS. :

* Anticoagulants – Aspirin may increase the efficacy of the drugs, causing internal bleeding.
* Antacids – Reduced acidity in the stomach may hinder coated aspirin tablets from breaking down and releasing into the blood.
* Corticosteroids – May increase stomach irritation and cause an ulcer.
* Gout medication – Aspirin reduces the concentration of the active ingredient (Allopurinol) in the blood, rendering it ineffective.
* Diuretics – Aspirin will reduce the concentration of diuretics in the users' blood.
* Phenobarbital – Used to treat seizures, it will become less effective when combined with aspirin.
* Phenytoin – Also used for seizure treatment, can become toxic when combined with aspirin.

AVOIDING SIDE-EFFECTS.

Don't be shy – The pharmacist's job is to inform you of potential side-effects, as well as drugs or foods you need to avoid in conjecture with your drug. Tell the pharmacist about any other medication you are taking to prevent an adverse interaction between the drugs.

Be sure to read the information booklet – Even drugs you've been taking for a long time can become dangerous as you age and start taking other drugs as-well. The booklet will list known side-effects, interaction with other drugs, as well as counter-indications for certain users who might be allergic to the drug's ingredients.

Adjust the intake to your weight – A drug must be adjusted to the patient's weight to avoid overdosing. This is particularly important in children and babies.

Report all side-effects – If any side-effect occurs when taking the medicine, report it to your family physician immediately! You might need to change dosage or even change medicines.

Avoid prolonged exposure – Do not take a drug for more than 3 days straight without talking to your physician, and only take the recommended dosage in the recommended time-frame, according to your doctor's orders and the information-booklet.

TAKE CARE AND BE WELL !!

Astaxanthin: The World's Best Antioxidant?

If you have a healthy interest in your own well-being, you've probably heard the word 'Antioxidant'. Antioxidants are molecules that protect our cells from free radicals that damage our cell membrane, cause damage to our entire body and, since cell damage is the same as getting older, makes us grow old before our time. This is why eating foods that are rich in antioxidants, such as eggplant, grapes, berries, mangoes, carrots, seafood and others is extremely important for our continued youth and well-being.

 

Antioxidants not only make our skin look younger, it also makes our body literally younger, reducing the damage it has to deal with, giving our muscles more strength and keeping our nervous system and brain younger and more resilient to the damages of time.

 

But sticking to a diet can be tiring. We're all human and it's hard to keep up with all the antioxidant rich foods we should be eating on a daily basis.

So when it comes to powerful antioxidants, you should know aboutAstaxanthin: A molecule that seems perhaps to be the most powerful antioxidant known. This is a compound harvested from a certain type of red kelp that produces Astaxanthin as a way of protecting itself against ultra-violet light. This component is what gives these kelp (as well as birds that eat them such as the flamingo) their red coloring.


Astaxanthin compares astoundingly well to other nutrients and powerful lipid-soluble antioxidants when it comes to free radical scavenging and neutralizing singlet oxygen.

 

 



Astaxanthin is known as the most powerful of antioxidants because it is:

6000 times stronger than Vitamin C.

500 times more effective than Vitamin E.

550 times more powerful than green tea catechins.

11 times stronger than beta-carotene.

As much as 2.75 stronger than lutein with regard to singlet oxygen quenching.

 

 

astaxanthin


 


Researchers believe some of the advantages astaxanthin has are due to its ability to cross th eblood-brain barrier and protect our brain cells and nervous system from oxidative stress. 

 

 

Benefits of using a powerful antioxidant that works for you:

 

- Preventing the likely development of fast replicating cancerous cells.

- Gives your skin a youthful appearance and prevents wrinkles.

- Supports your visual health, protecting your vision.

- Maintains your cardiovascular health.

- Supports the health, structure and function of joint tissue.

- Reduces the risk of cataracts.

- Lowers high blood pressure.

- Helps prevent cognitive diseases such as Parkinsons and Alzheimer's.

- Boosts the immune system and prevents the outbreak of inflammation and infection.

 

To get your fill of astaxanthin, you can either get a specialized supplement or dine on wild pacific salmon. Make sure it's not just any salmon, because wild pacific salmon have 400% more astaxanthin than they do
