[www.keralites.net] These 12 Animals May Look Cute, But They Can be Deadly

 

Mess with These 12 Adorable Creatures at Your Own Peril!

There are animals out there that are just so furry, brightly colored, or sweet-faced that you might just get the sudden urge to slowly reach out to touch them. Want our advice? Resist this urge! These animals may look cute, but please don't let their adorable exteriors fool you, as these critters' powerful and clever defense mechanisms are reason enough to leave these delightful creatures where they belong: the wild.

 

The following cute animals can cause you some serious damage - some of them can even kill you!

These cute little guys may only be about 5-8 inches long, but they pack enough power to kill a human in a matter of minutes. A matter of seconds after being bitten (which ironically is painless), the victim will start to feel nauseous, then they will begin to lose their vision, touch, speech and the ability to swallow. In just 3 minutes, the nervous system shuts down completely, paralysis occurs and respiratory failure commences. Without immediate medical help, the victim will die. As there is no antidote for blue-ringed octopus venom, the victim must be kept alive using machines until the venom works its way out of the body. this usually takes around 24 hours and leaves no obvious side effects. Scarily, the victim is aware of everything that is happening around them, but cannot respond in anyway. Blue-ringed octopus venom is 1200 times more toxic than cyanide.

11. Platypus

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: 15 Extra Uses of the Banana!

 

15 Extra Uses of the Banana!

Bananas are known as 'energy bombs' with very high nutritional values. It holds a multitude of vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin C, many of the vitamin B family, potassium and three natural sugars - Sucrose, fructose and glucose. But if you thought nutrition is where the role of the banana ends, think again...

1. Shining shoes
If you happen to be out of shoe polish, don't worry. After you've finished eating the banana, use the peel. Remove the remnants of the banana from within and then rub the inside of the peel on your shoe. To finish, use a paper towel.

2. Kick your smoking habit
The banana can help people stop smoking. The vitamins B12, B6 and the minerals potassium and magnesium found in the banana, help the body overcome the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

3. Treating Bunions
Vinegar and cosmetic creams can dry painful and ugly bunions, but when these aren't available or too expensive, a banana will also do the trick. Squish the banana and rub it on the affected area. You can use the peel to rub it on the skin, while some wrap the inner side of the peel around the bunion and leave it for the night.

4. Soothing stings and bites
The sugars in the banana peel will sooth an itchy and annoying mosquito bite, as well as the redness that accompanies it.

5. A solution for Aphids
Aphids can be very annoying when they attack your flowers and garden. Take a few pieces of banana peel and bury them about 1-2 cm deep around the base of the plant. Do NOT use the fruit itself, or else you will attract even more hungry insects.

6. Eases heartburn
The banana has natural anti-oxidants that may relieve your heartburn. Eat a banana to cool down.

7. Tenderizing meat
If you want to tenderize meat while thawing it, wrap it in banana leaves. This also works for fish. While cooking, add a ripe banana to help them soften, and add a sweet flavor while you're at it.

8. Relieving PMS pain
The B vitamins found in the banana regulate the levels of sugar in the blood, which directly affects the general feeling and mood. The potassium in the fruit neutralizes the swelling and the liquid build-up.

9. Make that hangover go away
After a harsh night of drinking, boil a cup of water and put 2 banana peels in it. Wait for it to cool and drink.

10. Treating bloody hemorrhoids
Steam 2 bananas with the peel, until they soften. Eat on an empty stomach, morning and evening, until relief is achieved.

11. Improving your quality of sleep
Bananas come with a great vitamin B6 boost that helps maintain a normal and functional sleep/Wake mechanism. Eat a small banana every day to get quality sleep.

12. Substitute for vitamin D
Research shows that a lack of vitamin D (the one we get from being exposed to sunlight) is a big contributor to depression. Since during winter this is hard to get, it is recommended to get your vitamin D elsewhere. Other than milk, fish and avocado, banana is a great source for that.

13. Return moisture to a tired face
To moisturize your dry skin, use a banana paste to relax the skin.

Here is a simple recipe:

2 spoons of almond oil
1 ripe banana
1 Egg yolk

Mash the banana with a fork and remove the thick pieces. Add egg yolk and almond oil and mix well. Wash your face and dry with a clean towel. Then put the mix on your face and leave for 20 minutes. Wash your face with cold water and dry well.

14. Helps fight anemia
The vitamin B family found in bananas encourage the creation of hemoglobin and help prevent and treat anemia.

15. Whitening teeth
Despite their yellow color, bananas can actually help whiten your teeth. Research shows that the minerals in the banana peel, such as potassium and bromine, help whiten the teeth naturally without leaving damage.

Cut the peel into little pieces, rub the inner part of the banana in circular motions on the teeth for 2-3 minutes and then don't touch for 15 minutes (don't eat, drink or rinse). Then rinse well. In a few weeks of this daily treatment, you will see great results.

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: Health Benefits of Pistachio!

 

 

Health Benefits of Pistachio!

Every diabetic out there knows the second your doctor gives you a diabetes diagnosis, your life changes forever... No more indulging that sweet tooth… no more skipping days at the gym… and no more heading out to shop, golf or do lunch without toting a painful syringe or a bulky bottle of pills with you.

If diabetes has you feeling like you're living life on a leash, Indian researchers are finally giving you permission to go nuts! Just make sure those nuts are pistachios.

In a study, just completed by India's National Diabetes, Obesity and Cholesterol Foundation, researchers found that just a handful of pistachios a day may be all it takes to help you start enjoying your best blood sugar control in years — completely drug-free.

Scientists recruited 500 pre-diabetic volunteers between the ages of 25 and 65 and asked them to follow restricted-calorie diets and exercise daily (sound familiar?). The only difference was that half of the volunteers also got to snack on delicious pistachios daily.

After just six months, those pistachio-eating volunteers had lost weight, reduced their belly fat, and improved their bodies' reaction to insulin. The results were so positive that researchers say you could safely eat a couple of hundred calories worth of pistachios a day!

Imagine that — doctors telling us to eat MORE of something that tastes great! Plus, pistachios are cholesterol-free, loaded with fibre and healthy fats, and in just one serving deliver as much potassium as an orange.

It's no secret that nuts are nutritional powerhouses that could help you tackle everything from diabetes to heart disease. In fact, we told you just a couple of weeks ago how a handful of nuts a day could even slash your risk of premature death by an amazing 20 per cent.

If you're struggling to get your blood sugar under control, grab yourself a bag of delicious pistachios and get cracking.

Disease-fighting omega-7 getting mainstream recognition

A full year after we first shared with you the amazing health benefits of omega-7 fatty acids, it looks like the mainstream is finally getting on board. Even the most traditional mainstreamers are saying disease-fighting omega-7 may be one of the greatest health breakthroughs.

And for once, they're getting it right.

If you're serious about battling age-related diseases and if you don't want to look at yourself in the mirror 10 years from now and see a zipper scar down your chest or two swollen, arthritic knees… omega-7 could be the answer to your prayers.

Many of today's most common ailments, such as heart disease, arthritis, or even Alzheimer's, have the same root cause — inflammation. Omega-7 works naturally with your body to help keep that inflammation in check, while keeping a host of deadly diseases from EVER taking root.

But that's not all omega-7 does. In two animal studies — one from the Cleveland Clinic and another from Harvard University — omega-7 proved it could lower cholesterol and even improve the insulin response in muscles.

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: Ayurvedic Herbal Home Remedies for Depression!

 

Ayurvedic Herbal Home Remedies for Depression!

Depression is a very real and treatable illness. Depressive disorder is not the same as a passing blue mood. Depression is very common and affects as many as one in eight people in their teen years. Depressed mood is generally situational and reactive, and associated with grief, loss, or a major social transition. Sadness is a part of being human, a natural reaction to painful circumstances. All of us will experience sadness at some point in our lives. Depression, however, is a physical illness with many more symptoms than an unhappy mood. Depression affects people of every color, race, economic status, or age; however, it does seem to affect more females than males during adolescence and adulthood. It is usually starts between the ages of 15 and 30. It is much more common in women. Women can also get postpartum depression after the birth of a baby. Some people get seasonal affective disorder in the winter. Depression is one part of bipolar disorder. Depressive disorders come in different forms, just as is the case with other illnesses such as heart disease. This pamphlet briefly describes three of the most common types of depressive disorders. However, within these types there are variations in the number of symptoms, their severity, and persistence.

Another type of depression is bipolar disorder, also called manic-depressive illness. It is characterized by cycling mood changes: severe highs (mania) and lows (depression). There is no single cause for depression. Many factors play a role including genetics, environment, medical conditions, life events, and certain thinking patterns that affect a person's reaction to events. Major depression is manifested by a combination of symptoms (see symptom list) that interfere with the ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Some people experience a serious mood change when the seasons change. They may sleep too much, have little energy, and crave sweets and starchy foods. This condition is seasonal affective disorder (SAD). It usually happens during the winter. A less common type of SAD happens in the summer. Severity of symptoms varies with individuals and also varies over time. Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain. Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness. Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed. Decreased energy, fatigue, being "slowed down". Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions. Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping.

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: How to get rid of Dark Circles!

 

How to get rid of Dark Circles!

How to get rid of dark circles – A Beginner's Guide!

Are under eye circles making you look older than you really are? Are you sick of looking 'zombified' even though you've been getting enough sleep? We feel you. Dark circles are a huge pain because just like that, they add years to your face!

But as they say – to know it is to control it. So, here we fill you in on everything you need to know about dark circles, from how they form to effective ways to treat them!

What are dark circles?
They're actually blood vessels that can be seen through the super-thin layer of skin under your eyes, what is known as the Preorbital skin. The more tiny blood vessels you have closer to the skin's surface, the more obvious they appear. Likewise, the thinner and more translucent your skin is, the more visible these blood vessels and the darker the rings beneath your eyes.

Why do dark circles appear?
Think dark circles only appear when you don't sleep enough? Not true. You can get 'raccoon eyes' from aging, genetics, unruly lifestyle habits, or a combination of the three.

And as your skin ages (naturally, or from the harmful effects of the sun), the layer around your eyes also becomes thinner, allowing the bluish black veins within to show. As if that's not bad enough, the breakdown of collagen also makes your skin less elastic, and consequently, more saggy and puffy. So without proper care, it's easy to look ten years older than you really are.

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: Crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue!

 

Crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue!


Good to know… especially if it can save the life of someone you love one day.


THIS HAS BEEN AROUND BEFORE, BUT IT DOESN'T HURT TO READ IT AGAIN...

 

Something that we can do to help ourselves. Good to know.


Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue.

They work much faster than the tablets.


Why keep aspirin by your bedside?


About Heart Attacks
There are other symptoms of an heart attack besides the pain on the left arm.


One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently.


Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack. The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.


If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water.


Afterwards:
- phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by
- say "heart attack!"
- say that you have taken 2 aspirins...
- take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and...
~ do NOT lie down ~
A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person, after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life can be saved!
I have already shared the information- - What about you?
Do forward this message; it may save lives!

This is for information purposes only... Please consult your Physcician!
