[www.keralites.net] 16 Further Uses Of Tea

16 Further Uses for Tea!

There's nothing like a hot cup of tea, especially on a cold day. Not only does tea warm the body and give us inner peace, it also fights cancer, lowers the risk of stroke and helps our cells fight aging. However, if you thought that is where the usefulness of this drink ends, you are surely mistaken...

Here are 16 other things that you can do with tea:

1. Tired Eyes

Tired and red eyes can be caused by irritation, too much crying or simple tiredness. While ice bags or cucumber slices are a workable solution, tea bags get you the same results but are also warm and pleasant. Put them in hot water, allow them to cool a bit and then place them on the eyelids like a compress.

2. Improving the taste of meat

Meat tastes great when properly cooked, but when not, it can become stale, hard and dry. Here is an effective solution to the problem: Use used tea bags to make a marinade that will restore its flavor. Soaking hard meat in black tea can also soften it again.

3. Cleaning wood surfaces

Tea can be a great and gentle cleaning material for wood floors and surfaces. Wipe the wood surfaces or furniture with a clean cloth soaked in cool tea water, then use a clean and dry towel to prevent stains.

4. Removing fat and dirt

The astringency of the tea will reduce the fatty buildup in pots and pans. Just soak the used tea bag in the container you wish to clean.

5. Cleaning Rugs

Clean moldy and dirty rugs by spreading some used (dry) tea leaves on it. Leave them be for 10 minutes and then vacuum the rug. If these are delicate carpets, you can brush the tea leaves gently away.

6. Cleaning fatty fingerprints from glass

Tea can remove those pesky fingerprints from glass, and make it shine. Just rub a moist tea bag on the glass surface, then use a spray bottle filled with tea water and wipe.

7. Cleaning the toilet

Use tea to remove stubborn stains in the bottom of the toilet. Soak several bags of tea for several hours in the toilet water and then remove them gently and brush the sides.

8. Getting rid of fish smell

To get rid of that overpowering smell of fish, wash your hands in tea water.

9. Air freshener

Bags of tea can absorb those bad odors in the pantry, in your shoes or in your car. Put a few tea bags on a tray and put them in the closet, shoe or car. Let them absorb the odors.alt

10. Getting rid of bad foot odor

If you suffer from stinky feet, soak them for 20 minutes in a tea bath. Use black tea for extreme case. The stringency in the tea will close the sweat glands that give off the smell and that tannin will kill the bacteria.

11. Removing warts and blisters

Soak a tea bag in water and put it on the blister for 20-30 minutes. Make sure to throw away the bag afterwards.

12. Diminishing mouth ulcers.

Get your mouth wounds to heal faster by gently biting a used tea bag. The healing powers of the tea will reduce the pain, shrink the blood vessels and stop the bleeding.

13. Treating burns

If you suffer from a really bad case of acne or irritated skin from a burn or sun tanning, use used tea bags to bring relief. Wash the areas burnt with a cold tea bag, but if most of the skin needs it, make a bath of tea water

14. Treat acne

Many find that washing your face with a cool brew of green tea is an effective solution for acne.

15. Avoiding fleas

To turn back fleas from your dog or cat, spread some dry and used tea leaves around the place they sleep.

16. Softening and dying your hair

Washing your hair with a cup of tea can make it shiny and soft to the touch. However, if your hair is light colored, it may turn it darker, which is perfect if you want to dye it.

[www.keralites.net] Fitness After Pregnancy

Fitness After Pregnancy By Exercise: What to Expect
By Aradhana Pandey.
When people tell you that things won't be the same after you become a mother, they aren't referring just to your life decisions and choices. They also mean to highlight the physical changes that are a part and parcel of motherhood. You enter this beautiful phase with the hope of making many lasting memories and bringing many positive changes in your life, but things may not be as rosy as you wish they'd be.
Sure being a mother will do a lot to enrich you as a person, but it may also pull down your spirits when you realize that your body's nothing like it used to be before. It may seem like a herculean task to get back your old body, but it's not entirely impossible, either. Here are a few body changes that you can expect immediately after pregnancy and ways to deal with them:
1. The Wait Before Exercising After Delivery - With the arrival of your little one, you may be so consumed in your motherly endeavors that getting back in shape may seem like a far fetched dream. As per many Ayurvedic doctors, it is best to start exercising 2-3 months after natural delivery and 4 months after cesarean section.
Hurrying up with exercise and other weight reducing activities may lead to –
a. Reduction of breast milk production
b. weak ligaments, less immunity and probability of uterine prolapse due to weak ligaments, after 40+ years of age.
How to Deal - 3 – 4 months after delivery, you can begin with low-intensity exercises like walking andkegel's exercise earlier, based on your doctor's recommendation. These exercises will expedite your recovery as well as the time taken for you to lose your pregnancy weight. The important thing before you begin a full fledged exercise routine is to listen to your body; wait until you think you've healed completely before you get on with a heavy-duty workout plan. While it is important for you to get back in shape, it is also important that you take care of your body.

2. Loosened Joints, Ligaments and Weakened Core -There's a reason doctors tell women to be careful with their movements during and after pregnancy. The activity of the hormone relaxin increases during pregnancy and continues even a few weeks after delivery. This hormone is responsible for widening of pelvis muscles and loosening of ligaments to help aid childbirth.
How to Deal - Practicing excessive stretching, or intense cardio workouts can worsen this problem. The best solution to ease it is by practicing strengthening exercises throughout your pregnancy and postpartum period. You can also take the help of stabilization belts to steady your hips and pelvis joints. If you experience separated stomach muscles (diastasis recti), practicing regular pelvic floor exercises, gentle stretches, and deep stomach muscle exercises will help reduce the size of the separation. You must also make sure to maintain a good posture after pregnancy.

3. Incontinence And Prolapse - Don't be surprised if for a few weeks even after delivery you experience a little leakage while coughing, laughing, exercising or sneezing. The activity of the hormones relaxin and progesterone along with the weight of the baby on the pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy are the primary causes of incontinence and prolapse. It usually takes between a few weeks to a year for your body to recuperate.
How to Deal – Practicing pelvic floor muscle exercises will help strengthen the muscles around your bladder, vagina and back. These exercises help reduce the incidence of leakage (incontinence) and sagging of the uterus (prolapse).
4. Belly Pooch - Your belly is that part of your body which is most impacted by pregnancy. Your once flat and taut belly turns wiggly and flabby during pregnancy and may remain that way for a couple of months even after pregnancy. It takes up to six weeks for the uterus to contract to its original size that may help decrease the size of your belly.
How to Deal - Practice deep breathing stomach exercises that will help you tone your stomach muscles. Opt for abdominal crunches after 3 – 4 months after delivery. Avoid it within first 3 months, as they can further increase the gap between stomach muscles if you have diastasis recti.
Sagging Breasts - Another common body change that you may experience while nursing owing to hormonal fluctuations is expansion and sagging of breasts.
How to Deal - Exercises like push-ups, chest presses, and chest flies help tone the muscles around the breasts and lift them. Make sure to check with your doctor before your try these exercises.
In an attempt to get rid of your pregnancy flab quickly, don't opt for extreme measures like crash diets. This will only deprive you and your baby of essential nutrients and can turn out to be hazardous for both of you. Give yourself enough time to recoup from the pregnancy before you turn on the weight loss mode, full throttle. Breastfeeding can also help you lose some weight and burn up to 300 calories per day. Avoid starting any exercise plan without consulting your doctor. If you experience symptoms of postnatal bleeding, vaginal discharge (lochia) and infections, rush to your doctor without any delay. Remember, you need to stay healthy not just for yourself.
Action points – step by step guidance:
Listen to your body, consult your doctor and decide when exactly to start your fitness routine.
Start with walking and very minor exercise for first 2 weeks.
Pelvic floor muscle exercises along with walking and stretching for next 2 weeks.
Chest and upper arm exercises, Pelvic floor exercises, walking / jogging stretching for next 2 weeks.
Abdominal crunches, chest exercises, pelvic exercise, walking / jogging
Full fledged exercise routine of minimum 30 minutes per day, 6 months after childbirth.
