The Misunderstood Potato
 

All the people who don't like eating vegetables have
one thing in common- their love for anything potatoes. 
Potato is one such vegetable that tastes yummy in 
every form - mashed, baked, boiled, sweet, fried, 
you name it. Unfortunately, it has been given a 
bad reputation due to the misconception that it 
makes you fat, increases blood sugar, and causes 
heart problems and other health issues. 

Like they say, 'Blame the player, not the game' 
same way, 'Blame the method, not the potato!' 
Very few realize that it's the form in which we 
eat potatoes that matters more. Most of us 
choose fried and salty variety like French fries, 
cutlets, chips etc. but if eaten in baked/ roasted 
form it can prove to be really healthy.

Energy: Potatoes are starchy carbs which provide 
energy instantly. It's a great snack when feeling 
weak, famished or tired. Since it is digested easily 
it is a boon for patients, babies and aged 
individuals who cannot eat hard food.

Digestion: Potatoes have good amount of 
soluble fiber and with the skin it also provides 
insoluble finer which prevents constipation, 
reduces cholesterol and helps you feel fuller longer.

Blood pressure: They are also a good source of 
potassium which helps control blood pressure and 
reduce water retention as well.

Gum problems: There is a very high amount of 
vitamin C in potatoes which can prevent gum 
bleeding. Vitamin C is also necessary for 
collagen formation which helps heal the skin, 
wounds and bone cartilages.

Cell building: The vitamin B6 content of potatoes 
is required for formation of new cells in the body 
and also for normal brain functioning.

Heart diseases: Potato skin contains lot of 
phyto chemicals which which help protect against 
cardiovascular-disease by lowering levels of 
bad LDL - Cholesterol and keeping arteries fat-free.

Eat them the right way and you will never disregard them.

Did you Know? A bite of Potato is eaten before 
a meal. This helps the tongue become clear of 
any taste in your mouth and let's you fully 
enjoy the taste of food you are going to eat!

12 Natural Remedies for Snoring

Snoring is one of the most common and unpleasant problems many people face, and while generally not dangerous, it can lead to sleep deprivation for the snorer and their partner. Instead of installing weird gadgets or putting those uncomfortable masks on your face, why not try these 12 natural remedies, which may finally lead you to a quiet night for you and your loved ones.
What causes snoring?
Snores are the result of obstructed airways during sleep, but not all snores are created equal, and it's important to differentiate between the 2 major types of snores:
12 Natural Remedies for Snoring
Snores caused by congestion
This is the most common cause of snoring and can affect even those who don't regularly snore. It happens when your airways are obstructed by mucus or phlegm.
Snores caused by Sleep Apnea
In some cases, snoring can be beneficial by warning us of potential sleep apnea (when you stop breathing temporarily during your sleep). In these cases, the snore is the body's reflexive gagging for air it is being deprived of. 
 
What can be done to stop the snoring?
There are various treatments meant to stop snoring, from medication, through devices worn during your sleep and even, in extreme cases, surgery. But instead of running to your doctor, you can try these 12 natural remedies that might be able to stop or reduce the severity of the problem:
1. Natural nasal spray
One of the most effective ways to prevent snoring is by keeping your airways clear. This spray is a great substitute for the one you buy at the store and it contains only natural ingredients.
You're going to need:
  • ¼ tsp of salt

  • 1 clean drip bottle
Preparation & use:

12. Pineapple, bananas and oranges
One of the best ways to prevent sleep apnea is by improving the quality of your sleep – this can be achieved by increasing the amount of melatonin (the hormone which makes us sleepy) your body produces.

  • Fresh pineapples increases melatonin levels by 266%.
  • Bananas increase melatonin levels by 180%
  • Oranges increase melatonin levels by 47%
12 Natural Remedies for Snoring
BONUS TIP: Strengthen your swallowing muscles
In many cases, snoring is caused by the tongue dropping back into the throat, blocking the airways (which is very dangerous). To prevent this from happening, you might want to consider a short, daily exercise to strengthen the swallowing muscles.
What do you do:
  • Keep your mouth closed, push your tongue against your lower teeth for 30 seconds. (Repeat 5 times)
  • Open your mouth, move your jaw to the right and hold it in place for 30 seconds, then do the same action to the left.
  • Face a mirror and open your mouth. Work the swallowing muscles for 30 seconds. If you see the uvula moving – you're working the right muscles.

Hypoglycemia & How it Affects Our Lives

Have you noticed that when you (or a loved-one) wait too long between meals, you become irritable, confused, nauseated or fatigued? That means you're most likely experiencing symptoms of postprandial hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia - The Reason You're so Grumpy
What is postprandial hypoglycemia?
Postprandial hypoglycemia (also known as "Reactive hypoglycemia") translates as "Low blood sugar which occurs after eating". In postprandial hypoglycemia, a non-diabetic person experiences reoccurring symptoms similar to those of medical hypoglycemia. Medical hypoglycemia is a state where there are abnormally low levels of glucose in the blood, resulting in an inadequate supply of it to the brain.
What causes hypoglycemia?
Hypoglycemia - The Reason You're so Grumpy
Postprandial hypoglycemia usuallymanifests about 4 hours after consuming a large carbohydrate meal or a high consumption of glucose. Healthy adults maintain a blood glucose level of around four mmol/L when between meals. If the level drops below four mmol/L, hypoglycemic symptoms may appear. TheU.S. National Institute for Health (NIH) states that "The causes of most cases of reactive hypoglycemia are still open to debate. Some researchers suggest that certain people may be more sensitive to the body's normal release of the hormone epinephrine, which causes many of the symptoms of hypoglycemia. Others believe deficiencies in glucagon secretion might lead to reactive hypoglycemia."
Hypoglycemia - The Reason You're so Grumpy
Symptoms:
  • Double vision or blurry vision
  • Unclear thinking
  • Sleeping Trouble
  • Heart palpitation or fibrillation
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Light-headedness

  • Coma can be a result in severe untreated episodes
Treatment
Hypoglycemia - The Reason You're so GrumpyYou can purchase a blood glucose meter in most pharmacies if you wish to test the levels of glucose in your blood.

  • Eat small meals and snacks every 3 hours.
  • Avoid or limit sugar intake
  • Eat a variety of foods, including meat, poultry, fish, or nonmeat sources of protein, foods such as whole-grains, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products
