How Can You Prevent Night Cramps?

Do you ever go to sleep in your cozy bed after a hard day and wake up with unexpected and painful leg cramps? This phenomenon is called Nocturnal Leg Cramps and Dr. Lisa Shives, from the Northshore Sleep Medicine in Illinois, says it's actually a very normal and common thing.

Nocturnal leg cramps are sudden, involuntary contractions that occur during the night or during times of rest. The cramping sensation may last a few seconds or minutes, but the pain from the cramps may linger for a much longer period. Nocturnal leg camps tend to happen to middle-aged or older populations, but people of any age can have them.

The exact cause of nocturnal leg cramps is not known. Some cases can occur without a triggering event, while others may be linked to prolonged sitting, dehydration or structural disorders. Research shows that about one third of the population above the age of 60 suffers from these cramps, with 6% reporting that it happens every night.

Here are some of the things that may cause this painful problem according to Dr. Shives:

- Medical conditions such as blood disease, diabetes, and muscle disorders.
- Changes in the hormone state due to pregnancy and hormone pills.
- A lack of calcium or a low ability to retain it in the body due to low levels of vitamin D.
- Weak and loose muscles that don't move during the day are more likely to cramp at night.
- Electrolyte imbalance caused by dehydration and not getting enough potassium and magnesium.

What can you do about it?

* Start by eating foods to have more potassium such as nuts, avocados, almonds and potatoes. Many people say that eating a banana before going to sleep prevents the cramps and the hard pains.

* Hot salt baths with Epsom salt for your feet will help relax your muscles and blood pressure.

* Get more exercises for your legs like evening walks and do some stretching before you go to sleep.

* Consider taking food supplements high on vitamin D, potassium and magnesium.

If none of these work and you still suffer from night cramps nearly every day then you should go see your doctor.

 Home Remedies To Control Blood Sugar LevelsDiabetes is one of the leading concerns among health professionals today as more and more individuals fall prey to this life-long and dangerous disease. Diabetes is caused when the blood sugar levels rise to an excess and a resistance to insulin results. Once this happens, the diabetic individual can no longer control their blood sugar levels, and they can rise and fall with serious consequences. Yet whether you are diabetic or know someone diabetic or not, it is important to implement measures to control blood sugar levels and to stop the spread of the diabetes in its tracks.

1. Consume More Dairy Products      
The protein and fat in dairy products helps improve blood sugar levels, and if the products are low in fat, it has been shown that they can also decreased the chances for developing insulin resistance. 
 
 
2. Choose the Right Kind of Bread
Avoid white flour based products at all costs! These simple carbohydrates are full of sugar that spike up your blood sugar. Instead, you should consume whole wheat or rye products that are high in fiber, protein and complex carbohydrates which control blood sugar levels and keep you full longer. 
 
3. Maximize the Magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral known to help prevent the onset of Type II diabetes and should be consumed as much as possible. It is best to consume natural sources of magnesium such as spinach, fish, nuts, leafy greens   and avocados. All of these foods have been proved to lower the risk of diabetes and can even aid in weightless. 
 
 
4. Cardamom is great!
Cardamom originates in the ginger family of spices and comes from Asia as well as South America. The spice is known to regulate Type II diabetes and   can be sprinkled on coffee, tea, yogurt and even cereal. The spice is known to help decrease blood glucose levels by eighteen to thirty percent.
 
5. Buckwheat
Buckwheat is an excellent source of fiber that you may never have heard of. It also does wonders for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Buckwheat comes in the form of soba noodles, which are a delicious substitute for rice or pasta as well as in a   number of powders that can be added to baked goods or even on top of a slice of (whole wheat) bread.
 
6. Drink in Moderation
Alcohol contains huge amounts of sugar, and anyone trying to watch out for their blood sugar should definitely moderate the amount of alcohol they consume. It is best to occasionally drink wine with dinner, and not after dinner when the same glass of wine could alter insulin levels in the blood.
 
7. Watch Fat Intake
It is important to watch the amount of saturated fats entering the body because these can seriously increase the chances of contracting diabetes. Saturated fats are usually in fried and junk foods as they are cooked in unhealthy oils. 
 
8. Exercise Daily
Getting in exercise each day is critical to maintaining normal blood sugar levels, even if it's a brisk walk in the   park. 
 
9. Laughing
Yes, this is really one of the tips that will prevent your chances for diabetes. It was found that those who laugh have lower blood sugar levels than those who don't laugh enough (this means you should keep reading our jokes!).
 
 
10. Eat Grapefruit
Grapefruit has been proved to aid in weight loss as it affects the glucose metabolism, keeping insulin levels steady.
 
11. Do Resistance Training
Building muscle mass is important for burning more glucose out of your system and training once to twice a   week could significantly aid in preventing the occurrence of diabetes.
 
12. Drink Decaf, Not Regular
Decaffeinated coffee slows down the rate at which the intestines absorb sugars and speeds up the absorption of sugar by the muscles. 
 
13. Eat Smaller Meals
It is best to have a small meal every half hour and then another small meal (or a second half of the regular size meal) later on. In the same vein, it is also important to eat regularly so that insulin levels don't spike.
 
14. Get Enough Sleep
Sleep deprivation can affect blood sugar and insulin levels so it is important to get enough sleep each night. It is also essential to   stop snoring because according to some studies, those who snore are more likely to develop diabetes (because snoring is often tied to being overweight). 
 
15. Learn Relaxation
Listen to soothing music or read an interesting book, whatever you need to do to relax. Meditation and yoga can also help if they are done properly and on a regular basis.

[www.keralites.net] 4 NATURAL SOLUTIONS TO TOXIN RIDDEN PRODUCTS

4 Natural Solutions to Toxin-Ridden ProductsAs awareness about the possible dangers of chemical products grows, so does the ability to think up creative natural substitutes. Here is a list of natural   cleaning, beauty and health solutions so good that only nature can provide. 
 
Lemon Juice: The lemon fruit originated as an exotic fruit in the Middle Ages, but now it is commonly found and grown all over the globe.

At   Home: Lemon can be used as a natural cleanser and disinfectant for a number of surfaces due to its high level of acidity (a pH level of 2.3) that creates prime conditions for killing off bacteria. Lemon can also be used as bleach, both for clothing and other surfaces, although you will need a lot of it in order to reproduce the strength of chemical bleach. 
 
Skin Care and Beauty: Because lemon is high in vitamin C, it can be used to remove sun spots on your skin and to tighten the skin against acne breakouts. It also can be combined with cream to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, a kind of natural Botox. Lemon juice can also be used as a natural hair highlighter, but make sure you   follow any lemon treatments with a conditioner mask so that your hair doesn't dry out. 

Dietary and Health: Adding lemon juice to your diet has been proven to aid in weight loss and fat-burning as part of a healthy and balanced diet. Lemons are very low in calories, have good amounts of iron, calcium and vitamin B6, so they can work to improve your digestion and strengthen your immune system. Finally, lemons are the age-old remedy for sore throats and sinus blockage and can be added to teas, water or eaten whole to give you a needed boost of vitamin C. 
 
Coconut Oil: For many years, coconut oil was deemed dangerous for consumption in the West as part of a campaign against saturated fats. Today nutritionists and doctors alike praise the oil's miraculous health and skin benefits.
 
At Home: Coconut oil is rich in saturated and complex fats, which automatically   makes it a natural moisturizer for wooden surfaces and a great replacement for WD40. It can also be used to remove water spots and residue in showers, sinks and tubs. 

Skin Care and Beauty: Coconuts natural moisturizing properties make it a fantastic natural hair serum for dry or damaged hair, a wonderful treatment for chapped lips, and an inexpensive (yet just as effective) wrinkle cream. Coconut oil is also a surprisingly good substitute for deodorants because of its naturally luxurious scent.

Dietary and Health: New studies are constantly being conducted to reveal the amazing health benefits of a diet rich in coconut oil. For instance, it has been shown that coconut oil helps boost metabolic function by raising body temperatures. It has also been suggested that the oil could minimize and even reverse the effects of Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. 
 
Apple Cider Vinegar: This vinegar made from apples has become increasingly popular as an at-home health and beauty remedy.

At Home: Due to its highly acidic level and pungent smell, apple cider vinegar can be used on pets to fend off fleas. It can also be used as a disinfectant and cleaner as well as a natural deodorizer for spaces and laundry. 

Skin Care   and Beauty: When all of your aloe vera runs out, apple cider vinegar is an excellent way to ease sun burns or minor burns, or even as a substitute for massage oil to ease muscle tension. ACV is a natural aftershave, a great natural shampoo, an excellent skin tightener and teeth-whitener. 

Dietary and Health: ACV has been proven as an excellent fat-burning mechanism in a number of studies on obese and severely over-weight subjects. Taken as a shot or mixed together with water, ACV is a natural solution to high-blood pressure, yeast infections or even as a preventive measure against the common cold.
 
Castor Oil: This is a natural oil made from the castor plant, although it is used in a number of chemical substances. 

At Home: Castor oil is a natural way to deter rodents because it has an   asphyxiating or suffocating effect on mice and rats. It can also be used as a lubricant for door hinges as well as a restorative remedy for dying plants. 

Skin Care and Beauty: Castor oil is extremely rich in vitamin E, minerals and proteins which aid the health of the hair and skin. It's dense concentration can be difficult to remove, but it will beautifully restore the health of eyelashes, split ends, cracked skin and weathered cuticles. It can also be used to stimulate hair growth and treat scalp conditions like dandruff and eczema.

Dietary and Health: The anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant powers of castor oil make it an excellent remedy for skin irritations, relieving minor pains and headaches, as well as a solution to menstrual pain. The oil has also proven an effective laxative and muscle relaxer.
