[www.keralites.net] Collect Your Fruit

 

 Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
Reach Your Full Potential !

Sometimes we get so busy doing all the tasks we need to do each day in our roles as women, 
partners. mothers, daughter,and workers, that we forget to collect our winnings. 
We put in all the groundwork- We clean, we cook, we work
we care fore, we discipline - but we get so bogged down 
with these necessities that we neglect to grow.

We need to remember that our spiritual life requires us to stretch ourselves
 and reach out to claim our full potential.
The actor Will Rogers once said, "why not go out on a limb"?
 this is where the fruit is.
Think about that statement for a moment.

Often we spend much of our time on groundwork. In planting terms, 
we ddig,  we sow, we water. we fertilize. Yet sometimes
we forget the most important task.
And that is to dust off our metaphorical ladders and reach out
to collect the fruit of our labors.

Take time to go out on a limb today - and gather your well-deserved fruit!

[www.keralites.net] How to Preven Body Odour

 

Body odour is not just a social offender; it is also an indicator of various metabolic disorders. Masking B.O, as it is popularly called, with deodorant sprays and perfume is not the solution to these underlying problems. What is important is to know the cause of body odour and to prevent it. 
What exactly is body odour?
Body odour, medically known as bromhidrosis, is a strong and unusual smell that originates from the body. The smell might be offensive or sometimes, pleasant and fruity (The key is to try not to visualise!). Most people erroneously believe that the cause of body odour is excess perspiration. This is false. The main reason for B.O is the presence of anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that grow in an oxygen-free environment) which are present on and in our bodies. Another cause of body odour is metabolic imbalances that happen in our body due to medical conditions. 
The causes of B.O
Contrary to popular belief, sweating or perspiring does not cause body odour; sweat only cools down the body and helps to regulate body temperature. Sweat, by itself, is odourless. The odour arises due to interaction of sweat with anaerobic bacteria, which grow mainly in the oxygen-deficient regions such as the under-arms, the navel, and anal and genital regions. Bacteria live off the sweat in these moist areas and produce by-products which include organic acids, indoles and ketones. These by-products have the characteristic smell that gives rise to unpleasant body odour. 
Metabolic disorders also play a major role in body odour. Metabolic disorders are partly genetic and partly conditional. Common metabolic disorders include Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetic Ketoacidiosis and Phenylketonuria. They are caused primarily by disruption of enzyme activity in the body. Enzymes mainly break the digested food down into simple compounds so that they can be absorbed into blood for basic metabolic activities. They also eliminate toxic wastes from the body. When enzyme activity is disrupted by defective genes, most metabolic functions of the body get disrupted, adversely affecting the digestive system and immune system. Toxins produced by the body accumulate within it and are excreted through sweat, causing intense body odour.
Body odour is also determined by a person's eating habits. The food we eat has a lot of proteins and carbohydrates, some of which the body utilizes while the unused food gets eliminated by the body as waste. This waste turns toxic if not eliminated. Excess of red meat, garlic, onion and spicy foods, besides coffee and alcohol clog the digestive organs like liver, intestines and kidneys. As a result, all these toxins emanate from the body causing body odour as well as other complications. 
Preventing body odour
  • Regular bathing with a antiseptic soap prevents the growth of anaerobic bacteria on the body and keeps the body fresh. A hot shower opens the sweat pores and kills the bacteria present deep inside the skin. A proper scrubbing of the body, especially in the main sites of bacterial growth namely the armpits, groin region, navel and under the ear, is necessary in order to eliminate body odour.
  • Try to avoid tight clothing as it suffocates the body and increases the growth of anaerobic bacteria that cause body odour. Wear loose-fitting clothes made of natural fibre, as opposed to synthetic, allowing the body to 'breathe'.
  • Dietary changes will help to eliminate body odour. Try to reduce the intake of spicy food, onion, garlic, alcohol, coffee and red meat. Eat more of greens as green, leafy vegetables have a lot of chlorophyll, which acts as internal deodorizer and helps eliminate body odour.
  • Body odour caused by genetic metabolic disorders cannot be easily eliminated. However, body odour caused due to conditional metabolic disorders like Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetic Ketoacidiosis can be controlled by following a balanced diet along with supplements like zinc, magnesium and vitamins. These help to balance the body's metabolic activities and produce enzymes. Taking regular medication also helps to manage these conditions.
  • Proper hygienic practices such as maintaining regular toilet habits to eliminate the toxic waste from the body, wearing fresh clothing every day, changing socks regularly and wearing clean undergarments help to prevent body odour.
Finally, use a good deodorant or an anti-perspirant which has no aluminum in it. Aluminium aggravates body odour and has also been found to cause several health problems. Remember, body odour isn't just a social offender, it is also related to underlying conditions. If you have persistent body odour that refuses to go away, medical intervention may be necessary.

[www.keralites.net] Salary Income – Who Is Exempted from Filing Tax Return?

 

Salaried employees earning up to Rs 5 lakh a year will not be required to file income tax returns from this year, says Finance Ministry notification No. 9/2012, dated: February 17, 2012.
There are about 85 lakh salaried persons in the country whose yearly income, including earnings from other sources like bank deposits, does not exceed Rs 5 lakh.
"An individual whose total income for the relevant assessment year does not exceed Rs 5 lakh and consists of only income chargeable to income-tax under…salaries… (and) income from other sources, by way of interest from a savings account in a bank, not exceeding Rs 10,000" have been exempted from filing the returns from assessment year 2012-13", it said.
IS IT SO……
The following are the hidden conditions for the above notification:
  • The Total Income should not exceed Rs.500000
  • The Tax payer should have received salary from only one EMPLOYER
  • The Income should only be from Salary and Interest and Bank deposits provided the employee should have mentioned to EMPLOYER the Bank Interest and the Employer have to deduct Tax on it
  • There should not be any tax to be paid by the employee
  • There should not be any refund for that FY
  • Interest earned should not exceed Rs.10000
On the other ground ,an assessee is getting a salary of 300000 PA or any such amount more than basic exemption limit and less than Rs.500000. Assessee may have invested in any of the investments mentioned U/s 80 C for which he'll be getting interest which will exclude him from this exemption.
Practically speaking if you are going for any loans, Most of the banks' be requesting to provide Income Tax Retunrs, even though we are having pay slips.
Some of the Foreign Countries for issuing VISA, they specifically ask for Income tax return.
 On evaluating the above, an assessee in no way is exempted from filing return of Income unless he is not having any Income.

[www.keralites.net] Sweat glands help heal wounds

 


 
Washington, Nov 21 : Don't be too surprised if the glands that make you sweat could also help heal skin wounds, such as scrapes, burns and ulcers, says a new study.
 
Human skin is rich with millions of sweat glands that help the body cool down after a trip to the gym or on a warm day. They also play a key role in providing cells for recovering skin wounds, according to a University of Michigan Health System research.
 
"Skin ulcers – including those caused by diabetes or bed sores – and other non-healing wounds remain a tremendous burden on health services and communities around the world," said ILaure Rittie, research assistant professor of dermatology at Michigan Medical School, who led the study.
 
"Treating chronic wounds costs tens of billions of dollars annually in the US alone, and this price tag just keeps rising. Something isn't working," Rittie was quoted as saying in the American Journal of Pathology.
 
Now, Michigan researchers believe they have discovered one of the body's most powerful secret weapons in healing.
 
"By identifying a key process of wound closure, we can examine drug therapies with a new target in mind: sweat glands, which are very under-studied," Rittie said, according to a Michigan statement.
 
Previous understanding of wound closure was that new skin cells originate from hair follicles and from intact skin at the edge of the wound.
 
The Michigan findings demonstrate that cells arise from beneath the wound, and suggest that human sweat glands also store an important reservoir of adult stem cells that can quickly be recruited to aid wound healing.
 
 
"It may be surprising that it's taken until now to discover the sweat glands' vital role in wound repair. But there's a good reason why these specific glands are under-studied – sweat glands are unique to humans and absent in the body skin of laboratory animals that are commonly used for wound healing research," added Rittie.
