11 Important Health Tips!

11 simple health tips that are recommended for anyone of any age, to deal with various health issues or just to boost your own natural well being!

#1: Go Herbal

If varicose veins are your problem, a good idea is trying horse chestnut, an herbal extract that studies have reveals will strengthen the veins and reduce swelling. It is also available in tropic creams, although the effect is not as powerful.

#2: Sip Oolong Tea

According to research, those suffering from mild eczema are advised to drink Oolong tea 3 times a day for itching and other symptoms. The active ingredients in the tea are called polyphenols.

#3: Rub Your Temples

This is old advice, but few seem to follow it. Use some peppermint oil, tiger balm or white flower oil to rub your temples with gently but firmly, to prevent headaches or stop them before they become too painful.

#4: Keep Capsaicin Cream on Hand

If you suffer from sore muscles and/or joints, a good idea is to apply any ointment or cream containing capsaicin, the active ingredient in Chile peppers, 2-3 times a day. The heat contained in these peppers has been proven to help relieve pain.

#5: Get a Good Pair of Sneakers

When your energy is lagging, the worse you can do is drink coffee or an energy drink. You may not feel like it at first, but a brisk walk, or even a run, will do wonders for your energy levels, and the more you walk, the better you will start to feel. Remember, being a bit exhausted is very different than feeling tired, and it lets you maintain your good mental state. Get up from your work chair and walk up and down the office stairs for five minutes - you'll feel much refreshed!

#6: Sniff Rosemary

Research suggests that a little whiff of this aromatic herb will help your body to become more alert and even improve memory intake!
So to stay sharp and keen, place some rosemary on your desk and inhale its essential oils before a test or an important meeting.

#7: Embrace The Bitter Taste

When you have a hankering for something sweet, fight it by following an ancient Chinese medicine approach: Consume foods such as endive, radicchio, cooked greens, and olives.

#8: Go Fish

We all know seafood is healthy. Salmon, sardine and mackerel contain the all important omega-3 fatty acids, which the body utilizes to create tears, among other important things. According to research, people consuming larger amounts of these essential fats are less likely to suffer from eye dryness.

#9: Eat Bananas

A diet rich in potassium may protect you against high blood pressure, one of the biggest killers of our times. In addition to reducing

your sodium (salt) intake and taking other cardiological healthy measures, try consuming potassium-rich foods such as bananas, cantaloupe and oranges.

#10: Love Lavender

To relieve your stress and prepare for a really good sleep, take a hot bath and add a few drops of lavender essential oil. Feel the tension ooze out of your pores while you listen to some relaxing music for extra effect.

#11: Take Some Ginger

Ginger contains dynamic oils which make it a very handy herbal remedy for nasal and chest congestion problems. The best way to use: boil water and pour two cups of it over a 1 inch piece of peeled, grated ginger. This you steep for 10 minutes and strain. Then add a few pinches of cayenne pepper to the water and drink.

[www.keralites.net] : Stay Energized & Awake With These Great Tips

Stay Energized & Awake With These Great Tips Are you constantly feeling tired, even after you've had a good night's sleep? How about after lunch time, let's say around 1pm? How on earth can you go through your day without feeling so drained? If you follow these 16 rules - you'll be as awake and energetic as a 5 year old on a sugar-rush!
Like
1. Drink plenty of water – Staying hydrated is one of the main secrets to staying energized. Your body is comprised of about 60% water, so if you don't have enough water, you're not your whole self. If you find it difficult to drink the needed 10 cups of water, make sure you eat water-rich fruits and veggies.
2. Get enough sleep – When we sleep, our body repairs itself and our brain organizes all the information it absorbed during the day, without enough of either – we can't function correctly and our body will demand more sleep by making us lethargic.
3. Avoid Caffeine in the middle of the day – Caffeine is great in the morning! It keeps you awake and energized, but it also stays in your system for several hours, so drinking it in the afternoon can actually diminish the quality of your sleep. Caffeine also causes increased urination, which can dehydrate you – making you tired again.
4. Exercise – A body that is used to exercise burns more calories during the day. Calories are our fuel, so the more our body burns – the more energy we have.
5. Eat a proper breakfast – Grabbing a snack for breakfast is a quick and easy way to start your day, but it's definitely not the right way - the energy you get from it will only last you a short time. Instead, eat whole-wheat bread, nuts, fruits and vegetables – they're rich in complex carbohydrates that break down slower, giving you longer energy boosts.
6. Dress for success – When you're dressed well, you fell more energetic! Get a haircut and do some grooming in the morning, it will help you start the day feeling like a winner!

7. Be social – Now that you've made yourself an attractive individual, surround yourself with people. You'll enjoy the admiring looks and your confidence will give you an energy boost! Also, try and surround yourself with fun people who will make you WANT to be alert and energized.
8. Smile – Believe it or not, smiling makes you happier. Even a fake smile affects the brain, causing it to release dopamine, making you happier and more energetic. Plus, if you smile at people, they usually smile back, and the effect can double itself!
9. Avoid Alcohol before bed – While a night cap sounds like just the right thing to get you to fall asleep faster – it's actually a bad idea! Alcohol damages the REM cycle, which is imperative for out mental rest. Without proper mental rest we become irritable, can have lapses in moral decisions, and even suffer ADHD-like symptoms.
10. Release stress – Stress takes a toll on our energy levels. It causes mental fatigue that directly affects our physical level of energy. Get a massage or some other relaxing treatment. If you're having problems at home, try tackling them ASAP so they don't get a chance to tire you out later in the day.
11. Take a shower – Preferably a cold one! We all know that taking a shower is a great way to start your day because it wakes you up. You're also forced to stand and the water doesn't allow you to go back to sleep, meaning you're going to have to wake up.
12. Listen to Music – There's a reason that gyms play a certain kind of music. The right kind of music can motivate you to move and perform. The reason is that music can affects your brain, causing it to release dopamine and adrenaline, which makes you happier and energized.
13. Get some fresh air – Being stuck indoors all the time can also make you lethargic. Go outside and get some sun (an added benefit is that this produces vitamin D in your body). Wind and rain will also stimulate your senses, increasing your level of alertness.
14. Write your daily tasks – Rank them according to urgency and follow through. This helps in keeping you focused, reducing stress and giving you a clear purpose for the day – all are influencing factors on your level of alertness.
15. Forget jealousy – You might not realize it, but jealousy is very taxing. It takes your mind off of tasks you need to accomplish, it causes you unhappiness that reduces your energy and it can even cause mild insomnia sometimes. Concentrate on all the good things in your life instead, and remember that even though someone else' life might look amazing, you don't really know what they might be going through…
16. Motivate yourself – Sport teams use cheerleaders for a reason! They help motivate the team, even when the game is not going the way they want it to. Self-pity is a known energy drainer, so compliment yourself when you do well, don't give yourself a hard time when you don't, and push on through!

Ayurvedic Remedy for Glowing Skin & Complexion

Having a clean, lustrous and attractive skin is the dream of many people and aim of many youngsters. But, hereditary factors, pollutants, hormones have their say in this matter. People are more dependent on the cosmetics, most of which are more hazardous than helpful. Many contain allergic ingredients and others carcinogenic. So, there is an immediate need of safe and effective, natural herbal complexion enhancers.

Are soaps and shampoos really needed? A Reader's words of experience

Skin and Pitta –
Skin, blood and Pitta are inter-related. Many of the blood vitiation disorders are exhibited as skin disorders. Impaired Pitta (increase / decrease) causes vitiation of blood tissue, leading to skin disorders.
We have learnt that there are five types of Pitta.Among them, Bhrajaka Pitta controls skin quality and complexion. Bhrajaka Pitta balancing is required to maintain lustrous healthy skin.

Ayurveda emphasizes the utility of various complexion enhancers (Kanti Vardhaka). Kanti means luster/complexion and Vardhaka means enhancer / promoter.

Ayurveda refers another set of medicaments – Blood soothers – Rakta Prasadaka herbs. Rakta means blood and Prasadakara means soothers.

Blood detoxifiers (Rakta Shodhaka) – Blood soothers (Rakta Prasadaka) and complexion enhancers (Kanti Vardhaka) inter-relation:
Complexion enhancers are directly linked with the effects of blood cleansers or blood purifiers. So, before proceeding to the Kantivardhaka drugs, it will be essential to consume the blood cleansers (Rakta Shodhaka) or blood soothers (Rakta Prasadaka) herbs.

Blood cleanser and soother herbs are usually bitter or astringent (Tikta-Kashaya) in taste, light-cold-soft and slow (Laghu-Sheeta-Mridu and Manda) in quality. Opposite to these are blood vitiators with spicy, oily salty and deep penetrating corrosive and irritant quality substances.

So, as a first step towards having a beautiful skin, you need to get rid of the skin disease.
Thereafter, the Kantivardhaka – complexion enhancers can be prescribed.
