[www.keralites.net] Fwd: What oversharing of selfies reveal about couples!

 

What oversharing of selfies reveal about couples! Olivia Blair       Those couples who clog up your news feed with gushing statu ses about each other, oversharing posts or selfies even in the most mundane of situations might be doing so to mask their relationship insecurities, according to an expert. Nikki Goldstein, a sexologist and relationship expert from Australia, said the couples who share the most on social media are often just see king reassurance about their relationship from others. "Often it's the people who post the most who are seeking validation for their relationship from other people on social media," she told the Daily Mail. "The likes and comments can be so validating that when someone is really struggling, that's where they get their boost from -not the person making the gesture, but what other people say about it." Goldstein also suggested the cou ples so keen to take pictures of each other and immediately upload them are often missing and not living in the moment with their partners. Goldstein also had some advice for the way you should post if you do want to take pictures with your other half. "Some people don't want to post about their relationship and some do, but if you are going to post... keep it fun and entertaining for people, not mushy and possessive."

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: Home remedies; zero side effects!

 

Home remedies; zero side effects! Shonali Sabherwal       Teas and veggies to treat everything from colds and coughs to anxiety   At the outset, it's important to note that natural remedies do take a little more time to work than allopathic medicines. However, not only do these help to get rid of your problem, they also strengthen the organ that they work on, thereby making your body's immune system stronger. Here are some remedies that work wonders: For cold and cough (with phlegm): The physical resemblance of the lotus root to the lungs is no coincidence. Lotus root melts all the mucous in the respiratory system and is known for its power to heal respiratory ailments. Consume it in the form of fresh lotus root tea. To make this: grate lotus root and squeeze its juice (to make ½ a cup of juice); stir into ½ cup of water and boil (stirring constantly at first; reduce flame and allow to simmer for 3­4 minutes). Drink while hot. To eliminate excess fat: Consume this carrot-radish (mooli) drink.Place half a cup each of grated carrots and radish in a saucepan with 1 ½ cups of water; bring to a boil and then allow it to simmer for a few minutes. To relieve fatigue or anxiety and to increase vitality: Native to Japan, the kudzu plant was introduced to the USA way back in 1876 as an ornamental plant. The starch that makes kudzu an outstanding thickening agent in cooking is also partly responsible for its medicinal properties. Some of kudzu's complex starch molecules enter the intestines and relieve the discomfort caused by excessive acidity and bacterial infections. These also rid the body of excess water, offering relief to those suffering from diarrhea. The flavanoids in kudzu help to improve the flow of blood and relieve cramps. To prepare kudzu tea, mix one heaped teaspoon of kudzu (available from: Wakaba Japanese Food Co; call: 09873923036) in one glass of water (room temperature). You may add some ginger juice. To cure yourself of sweet cravings and to relax the stomach, body and muscles: This sweet vegetable drink can be consumed whenever you like, but it should be enjoyed warm. Use equal amounts of finely chopped onions, carrots, cabbage and squash (bhopala). Boil this in four times the amount of water; lower the flame, and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the vegetables from the broth (these can be used in soupsstews later), and drink. To strengthen immunity: Shiitake mushrooms have been highly valued as both, food and medicine, since ancient times. Famous Ming dynasty physician, Wu Ri wrote extensively about their ability to boost energy, cure colds and eliminate intestinal worms.Traditional Chinese physicians believed the forest mushroom also had the power to charge the "qi" or "life force" and to promote longevity. Dried shiitake contains 25 percent protein. It also has high levels of glutamic acid, which is considered to be "brain food" due to its ability to stimulate neurotransmitter activity as well as its ability to transport potassium to the brain. Shiitake mushrooms are also a rich source of Vitamin B 12, (this is not available in vegetables), riboflavin, niacin, copper, selenium, zinc, dietary fiber and enzymes. They also contain ergosterol, which converts to Vitamin D in the body, and an active compound called lentinan, a polysaccharide that strengthens the immune system. To enjoy the health benefits of shiitake mushrooms, soak 1-2 shiitake mushrooms in water for 10-12 minutes, then, boil these in 2 cups of water for 20 minutes. Drink half a cup at a time. To get rid of a persistent cough: Make a tea with holy basil (tulsi) and drink warm. It's a good idea to prepare this in the morning and reserve in a flask, so you can have it throughout the day. To make the tea, mix a fistful of tulsi leaves (washed, but kept intact with stems) and about ten peppercorns (crushed) in six cups of water -boil for an hour and a half (until the water level reduces). Drink while warm. Shonali Sabherwal is a city-based macrobiotic nutritionist

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: Laos Has Remained an Undiscovered Destination, Until Now

 

 

The Top 10 Places to Visit in Laos! Southeast Asia is a world region that only seems to increase in popularity as a tourist destination with each passing year. However, one part of it, Laos, is still not-well known. Nevertheless, it's home to stunning scenery, beautiful cities, and rich cultural heritage. Here are the top 10 places to visit in Laos:     10. Bokeo Nature Reserve     Until 1997, the black-cheeked gibbon was thought to be extinct. Luckily, that year marked its rediscovery and the creation of the Bokeo Nature Reserve to protect the endangered primate. Head to the nature reserve and stay at the Gibbon Experience, an eco-tourism conservation project. You'll stay in a tree-house and travel by zip line through the forests to see the black-cheeked gibbon, as well as elephants, bears, tigers, and wild buffalo.   9. Nong Kiau     Situated in Luang Prabang province, Nong Kiau is the perfect destination for the active traveler, offering many walking, mountain climbing, and biking opportunities. When you're there, take a look at the Chinese-built bridge across the Nam Ou River, which connects two parts of Nong Kiau. In addition, there are incredible river and mountain views to take in. 8. Tham Kong Lo     Often touted as a geological wonder of Southeast Asia, Tham Kong Lo is a limestone cave situated in Phu Hin Bun National Park. It's more than 4 miles (6.5 km) long and up to 300 feet high. The cave contains an emerald-colored pool that locals believe to be sacred. They say it reflects the skin color of Indra, a Hindu god. You can even take a boat ride through the cave should you wish to enjoy it thoroughly. 7. Luang Namtha     Luang Namtha is the largest city in northwest Laos. It's a highly popular destination with backpackers, who stop over during their hikes from China into Laos. It's also a good starting point for treks into the nearby hills, which are home to ethnic tribes. Relax in an herbal sauna in the evening, and sample a wide variety of local foods at the city's night markets. 6. Wat Phu     Located at the base of Mount Phu Kao in Laos' Champasak province, Wat Phu is a ruined Khmer temple complex that dates back (in part) to the 11th Century. It was part of the great Khmer empire, which was centered in Angkor, situated to the southwest in Cambodia. While Wat Phu is a much smaller site than Angkor, it has a certain mystique thanks to its tumbledown pavilions, crocodile stone, and tall trees. 5. Si Phan Don     Si Phan Don, which means 4,000 islands, is a riverine archipelago in the Mekong River in the southern part of Laos. One of the more remarkable geological features of this archipelago is the Khone Falls, a series of rapids that stretch 6 miles downriver. The area below the falls is home to a small population of highly-endangered Irrawaddy Dolphins. The three main islands that cater to tourists in the archipelago are Don Det, Don Khon, and Done Kong. 4. Phonsavan     The name Phonsavan means "hills of paradise" in English and, as bizarre as it sounds, the area is a good place to experience a Laotian take on the United States' Old West. Hmong "cowboys" herd and raise cattle, and the city even hosts bullfighting events during Hmong New Year. When you're in the area, visit the Plain of Jars to see ancient megalithic structures in the shape of jars. The remnants of previously-occupying cultures, namely Siamese and French, can still be observed in the region. 3. Vang Vieng     This tourist city is a four-hour drive away from the Laotian capital, Vieentane. It was originally settled in the 14th Century, when it was known as Mouang Song. Best known for its limestone karst hills, tourists can enjoy many activities in Vang Vieng, from kayaking and tubing, to backpacking and hiking. You can also visit ethnic villages, including Hmong, which are located close by. 2. Vientane     The glorious Laotian capital city, Vientane, is located on the banks of the Mekong River. Clear remnants of French influence can be seen in the city's streets, which are left over from the time that Laos was a French colony. The most famous attraction in the city a 16th Century Buddhist stupa called Pha That Luang, which stands some 147 feet tall and is believed to contain relics of the Buddha himself. 1. Luang Prabang   This historic city is an absolute must-visit place on your travels in Laos. Located at the confluence of the great Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, Luang Prabang was once the capital of Kingdom of Laos. Buddhist temples and monasteries abound, and you'll see monks walking through the city each morning collecting alms. Visit the beautiful waterfalls nearby, and you can even take an elephant ride up to some of them!

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: How to Keep Your Feet Healthy This Winter

 

If You Suffer from Cracked Feet, These Tips Are for You! Wintertime can be problematic for your skin, especially the skin on your feet. In fact, cracked feet are a winter problem that many people suffer from. This ailment is characterized by dry, hard and thickened skin around the rim of the heel.   Although cracked feet can affect anyone, it is tends to be more common among elderly people, or those who suffer from eczema or diabetes. The skin on our feet is mostly dry because there no oil glands present in that area of the body. However, overexposure to cold weather, lack of moisturizing, low humidity, certain medical conditions and prolonged standing can all lead to dry and cracked feet. Keeping your feet crack-free this winter is easier than you think. With just a little care, you can ensure that your feet stay soft and smooth. Here are 10 great ways to keep your feet healthy this winter:   1. Warm Water Soak    A warm water soak once a week will keep your feet crack-free throughout the year, and especially in winter. By soaking your feet, it makes it easier to remove hard skin that builds up on your feet and heels over time. Method 1. Add some liquid soap to a tub filled with warm water. 2. Add a handful of sea salt to it. 3. Soak your feet in this solution for about 20 minutes. 4. After soaking, use a pumice stone to gently scrub off the loosened dead skin cells. 5. Rinse your feet with clean water and pat dry with a soft towel. 6. Apply some foot cream and put on a pair of clean socks. 7. Use this remedy once a week. 2. Oil Massage If you regularly develop dried and cracked feet, it is very important that you massage them regularly with some oil. The oil will keep the hard skin moisturized and improve blood circulation. For massaging, you can use massage oil on its own, or mix it with some other oils for added benefits. Method 1. At night before going to bed, wash your feet in warm water. 2. Dry thoroughly, especially between your toes. 3. Massage your feet and heels with olive, coconut, or almond oil - or a mixture of these - for 10-15 minutes. 4. Put on some clean socks and go to bed. 5. Continue to do this throughout the winter months. 3. Brown Sugar Scrub The small granules of brown sugar work as a great scrub for your feet. It helps to scrub away any dead skin cells so that the skin on your feet remains soft and healthy. furthermore, brown sugar contains glycolic acid that can help fight off any bacterial infections. Method 1. Mix 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 a teaspoon of lemon juice to form a thick paste. 2. After having soaked your feet in warm water for 10 minutes, apply this paste to your feet.. 3. Rub the paste around in circular motions until the sugar granules have melted away. 4. Wash your feet with warm water. 5. Repeat once a week. 4. Castor Oil    Castor oil will soften and moisturize your feet - it penetrates deep into the skin and therefore it helps restore the moisture and adds softness to the skin. Method 1. Apply a thick layer of castor oil to your feet and cracked heels. 2. Put on some socks and leave overnight. 3. The next morning, rinse it off with lukewarm water. 4. Do this daily. 5. Glycerin The glycerin that you have in your cabinet can do wonders in keeping your feet crack-free and soft throughout the harsh winter months. Method 1. Mix together equal amounts of glycerin and rose water. 2. Rub this solution on your heels and feet before going to bed at night. 3. Put on some socks and leave the solution on overnight. 4. The next morning, rinse your feet with lukewarm water. 5. Do this each day throughout the winter. 6. Paraffin Wax If you already have cracked and sore heels then paraffin wax is just what you're after. This wax acts as a natural emollient to soften your skin. Furthermore, the heat of the wax opens up skin pores and improves circulation. Method 1. Melt one block of paraffin wax in a double boiler. 2. Add two tablespoons of mustard oil or coconut oil to the melted wax and mix well. 3. Allow the mixture to cool down (until a thin layer forms on the top). 4. Dip your feet in the mixture, wait 5-10 seconds and dip again. Repeat this five to six times. 5. Cover your feet with plastic wrap for 30 minutes. You can put a pair of socks on if you wish. 6. Remove the plastic and peel the wax off your skin. 7. Repeat this treatment once or twice a week. 7. Water Intake    Water intake is important for maintaining healthy cell metabolism. A dehydrated body can lead to dry skin and it cannot repair existing skin damage. If your skin isn't getting enough water, it will become tight and less resilient, which means that your feet will become more prone to cracks and fissures. Drink a lot of water throughout the day. A good rule of thumb is to drink enough water so that your urine has little to no color. Along with water, add water-rich fruits and vegetables to your diet. 8. Fruit Packs You can prevent and treat cracked feet with homemade fruit packs. For example, ripe bananas, avocados and papayas are considered effective home remedies for cracked and dry heels thanks to their moisturizing properties. Method 1. Apply the pulp of a ripe banana or avocado to the cracked parts of your heels and feet. 2. Leave for 10 minutes, then wash off with lukewarm water. 3. Do this a few times a week to enjoy soft and smooth skin. 9. Vitamin E     Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects skin cells from harmful free radicals that are produced by the body and other environmental sources. This vitamin helps repair the skin and works wonders when treating and preventing cracked feet. Rub pure vitamin E oil on your feet each night before bed. Include foods rich in vitamin E in your diet - green vegetables, nuts, fortified cereals, and whole-grain products. 10. Vitamin C Just like vitamin E, vitamin C protects the skin from free radicals. this water-soluble vitamin is also crucial in the production of collagen, which is required for healthy skin. Eat foods high in vitamin C including citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruit, strawberries, tomatoes, cauliflower, red peppers and pineapple. In addition to this, include Omega-3 and zinc-rich foods in your diet. Some great sources of these nutrients include fatty fish, oysters, flax seeds, walnuts, and fortified cereals. You can also take a supplement (consult your doctor first). Additional Tips Since healthy feet start with good hygiene, make sure to keep them clean and dry all the time. Don't use products that contain alcohol, as it will further dry out your skin. Avoid using hot water for bathing, as it removes oils from the skin. Always wear properly fitting shoes to allow your feet to breathe. Prevent heat loss from your feet by wearing good quality socks.
