[www.keralites.net] Health benefits of Broccoli

 

 15 Wonderful Health Benefits of Broccoli
As a kid, I used to hate broccoli. Whenever my mother would cook it, I would make up all sorts of elaborate fibs hoping she won't make me eat it (and it never worked). As an adult, I found that I love the green vegetable and enjoy it in most dishes. After reading about it one day, I was amazed to find out how healthy it is, and decided to share it with you.
Interesting Broccoli Facts:
Broccoli was first cultivated in Italy back in the 6th-century B.C.E., and its name comes from the Italian broccoli meaning "the flowering crest of a cabbage". The broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, along with the radish, turnip, mustard, and more. It was introduced to the United States by Italian immigrants in the 1920's and wasn't wildly known until then. 77% of the world's broccoli is produced in China and India. The part of the broccoli we eat is the flower and the stem.

Health Benefits of Broccoli:
1. It protects your skin from aging
Broccoli is rich in antioxidants, such as Vitamin C, which reduces and prevents the damages caused by free radicals, such as pigmentation and wrinkling. In addition, the healthy content of Vitamins B and E aids in giving your skin a healthy glow.
2. It protects you from UV radiation
Using broccoli extract instead of sunscreen has been shown to provide a better level of protection than sunscreen. While sunscreen absorbs UV radiation, preventing it from reaching your skin, broccoli extract gets absorbed into your skin, defending it from the inside-out. It was also shown that its effects can last up to three days while sunscreen is only good for several hours at most.
3. It's good for pregnant women
During pregnancy, women need to consume large amounts of folate, and broccoli has it in abundance. Folate helps in preventing neurological and spinal defects in the fetus.
4. It helps control diabetes
Broccoli contains chromium, which is effective in regulating insulin levels and thus keeping diabetes symptoms at bay.
5. It can prevent anemia
Rich in iron and folic acid, broccoli is one of the best foods for preventing and treating anemia, as well as improving your levels of hemoglobin.

6. It regulates blood pressure
The high levels of calcium, potassium, omega-3 and magnesium help improve blood flow in the circulatory system and even reduce LDL levels ("bad cholesterol").
7. It boosts your immunity
Your immunity system needs nutrients such as trace minerals, zinc, and beta-carotene – all of which are quite common in broccoli.
8. It's also good for your bones
The zinc, magnesium, and calcium, along with Vitamin K and phosphorus help prevent bone-related ailments and strengthens the bones.
9. It promotes eye health
Broccoli contains antioxidants such as lutein and carotenoid, which help in deterring cataracts and macular degeneration. It also contains Vitamin A, which is known to aid in improving vision in low-light conditions, as well as discerning colors.
10. It's great for weight-loss
Broccoli is low in calories, making it ideal for dieting.
Broccoli
11. It is also an effective detoxifier
Your body needs to be able to get rid of waste and contaminants and that's where broccoli comes into play: containing rare nutrients glucobrassicin, glucoraphanin, and gluconasturtiin, all of which are effective in eliminating toxins.
12. It makes your hair shine
The erucic acids in broccoli give your hair a lovely, natural shine.
13. It also helps your hair grow
Vitamins A and C aid in moisturizing your scalp, while the calcium in the broccoli helps in strengthening your hair follicles.
14. It fights cancer
The glucoraphanin in broccoli can be converted in the body into a cancer-fighting chemical called sulforaphane, and the indole-3 carbinol helps reduce the risk of breast, cervical and prostate cancer.
15. It takes care of your heart
All of the amazing nutrients we've discussed help in preventing damage to your blood vessels, reducing the risk of stroke and heart attacks.

[www.keralites.net] 8 Health Habits to control blood pressure

 

 8 Healthy Habits To Control Your Blood Pressure
Your high blood pressure may prove fatal if you don't control it now!
Keeping a healthy blood pressure is easy if you adopt healthy habits. A healthy lifestyle goes a long way in ensuring that your hypertension is under control and you are out of risk zone for many other ailments like high cholesterol, heart diseases and lung failure etc. Inculcating small yet effective changes in your daily life will enhance your wellness and keep you away from the dangers of hypertension.
Healthy habits for healthy blood pressure-
Here is a list up of healthy habits you can include in your daily routine to keep your blood pressure under the normal range:
Cut down on salt intake:
Lowering the amount of salt you consume every day if the first step to take. Processed and canned foods and ready to eat foods are full of sodium. Pickles, cheese, bread, chips, pizza, noodles etc. are some of the foods with high salt. Cutting back on salt consumption will drastically lower your blood pressure.
If you have high blood pressure then you should not eat more than 4 grams of salt in a day. Read the label on every food item you buy at the food store. Buy foods marked with 'low salt' or 'no added salt'.
Avoid eating out as you cannot control sodium usage in outside foods. While cooking at home, make generous use of other condiments like ginger, pepper, oregano, parsley, lemon juice etc. to enhance the taste.
Load up on potassium:
If you increase your intake of potassium rich food, then it will help lower your blood pressure naturally. Bananas, oranges, tomatoes, beans, lentils, Brussels sprouts, nuts are a few examples food loaded with potassium. 4700 mg of potassium is recommended for daily consumption.
Go for super foods:
Load up on super foods which are high in anti oxidants and fibre content. Anti oxidants lower your cholesterol levels and bring down high blood pressure. Leafy greens like spinach, kale and veggies like broccoli, cabbage , cauliflower, pumpkin, carrots, onion, garlic, tomatoes, leeks are full of anti oxidants. Fruits like berries, oranges, apple, avocado, mango, kiwi, apricots, watermelon and grapes are also great sources of anti oxidants.
Herbs like thyme, garlic, parsley and oregano, green tea, nuts, seeds, legumes, low fat dairy products and whole grains are good to bring down high blood pressure.
Control your weight:
If you are overweight or obese, losing the extra pounds will help. Even if you shed a little bit of weight, it will positively imapact your high blood pressure. Make efforts to keep your body mass index or BMI to 25 or less.
Cut down on starchy and oily foods. Foods like pizza and sweets deposit thick substance or LDL cholesterol in your arteries. As a result your arteries are blocked and your heart has to pump blood with a lot of pressure through these narrowed arteries. This causes high blood pressure. It is best to give up such high cholesterol foods and load up on high fibre veggies, fresh fruits, healthy drinks like juice and smoothies, whole grains, nuts and seeds. They boost your digestion and throw out extra cholesterol from your body. You feel full for a longer period and are less likely to binge on high calorie foods.
Keep yourself active:
Make efforts to ditch the sedentary lifestyle and go for an active one. Go for a walk atleast for thirty minutes a day. If cannot manage it for half an hour at a stretch, go may go for fifteen minute walks twice a day. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Limit your screen time in front of television, laptop or phone. Get out of your comfort zone and do some stretches. This will help you burn extra calories.
Learn sun salutations and yoga poses. They help boost your metabolism and oxygen intake. Put on some music and dance for a few minutes. This will refresh your mood as well as your metabolism.
De-stress your mind and body:
Stress is a major factor that triggers high blood pressure. When you have too much work to do and less time, it creates stress. The best way to beat stress is to increase your energy levels. This can be done by eating healthy that keeps your energy levels high and taking adequate rest. 7-8 hours of restful sleep will help you deal with stress effectively. Deep breathing exercises and yoga are best remedies for stress induced hypertension.
Deep breathing exercises like alternate nostril pranayama, bhramari pranayama and yogic breathing increase the oxygen intake in your brain. This helps bring down your blood pressure to normal. Avoid kapalbhati pranayama nd bhastrika pranayama as they may further shoot up your blood prssure that may be pretty dangerous. Go for slow and deep breathing that relax you.
Yoga also helps lower high blood pressure by increasing oxygen intake and reducing the stress levels. Shavasana (Corpse pose), setu bandh asana (bridge pose), shishu asana (child's pose) and hal asana (plough pose) are great yoga postures for reducing high pressure. Make sure you are breathing deeply in each pose to derive maximum benefit. Learn and practice these breathing techniques and yoga asana under an expert's supervision to prevent injury or harm by doing things incorrectly.
Meditation also rejuvenates and fills you up with energy. This helps you relax by lowering the stress hormone levels in your blood stream. Regular exercising also reduces stress by releasing hormones that make you feel good. All these activities help in keeping your blood pressure under control.
Laughter therapy is another effective way of controlling hypertension. Practice belly laughter with arms raised up for a few minutes daily to enhance your lung capacity. By doing it daily, your blood oxygen level rises that helps bring down high blood pressure. You may join a local laughter club or do it at home too.
Quit smoking:
Smoking is injurious to your health. When you smoke carbon monoxide fills up your lungs. As a result of incessant smoking, the nicotine deposits itself in your arteries. This makes your arterial passage very narrow for the blood to pass through. It puts extra pressure on your heart and your blood pressure goes spiraling up.
If you give up smoking, your high blood pressure will come under control.
Say NO to alcohol:
Alcohol instantly hikes your blood pressure. Quit drinking alcohol in any form to keep your blood pressure under control. It makes you prone to strokes and cardiovascular diseases.
If you adopt these simple changes in your daily routine, you will find your blood pressure readings under control very soon. Small steps to a healthy lifestyle will go a long way on ensuring great wellness to you!

[www.keralites.net] Health benefits of Beetroot

 

Start eating beetroot to reap its 11 amazing health benefits
How often do you include beetroot in your diet? Well, if you don't remember when you ate this purplish-red root the last time, you need to start consuming it due to its multiple health benefits. From keeping your blood sugar levels in control to improving your sexual stamina, this vegetable is a well know antidote for anaemia in many Indian households. In addition to acting as a natural food colour, it can be consumed in the form of salad, juice or halwa. And above all, there are 11 reasons why you should include beetroot into your diet.
#1 Lowers your blood pressure levels
Beetroot is a great source of nitrates, which when consumed, is converted to nitrites and a gas called nitric oxides. Both these components help to widen the arteries and lower blood pressure. Researchers also found that having just about 500 grams of beetroot every day reduces a person's blood pressure in about six hours.(1) Read simple tips to include beetroot in your diet.
#2 Reduces 'bad' cholesterol and prevent plaque formation
Beetroot is known to contain large amounts of soluble fibres, flavanoids and betacyanin. Betacyanin is the compound that gives beetroot its purplish-red colour and is also a powerful antioxidant. (1) It helps reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and does not allow it to deposit on the walls of the artery. This protects the heart from potential heart attacks and stroke reducing the need for medication.
#3 Good for pregnant women and unborn child
Another amazing quality of the root is that it has an abundant supply of folic acid. Folic acid is important for pregnant mums and unborn babies because it is an essential component for the proper formation of the unborn child's spinal cord, and can protect the child from conditions such as spina bifida (is a congenital disorder where the child's spinal cord does not form completely and in most cases looks like it has been divided into two at the base). Beetroot also gives mums-to-be that extra energy boost required during pregnancy. Read more about why women need folic acid during pregnancy.
#4 Beats osteoporosis
Beetroot is packed with mineral silica, an important component for the body to use calcium efficiently. Since calcium makes up our bones and teeth, having a glass of beetroot juice a day could help keep conditions such as osteoporosis and brittle bone disease at bay. Here's how you can prevent osteoporosis..
#5 Keeps diabetes under check
People suffering from diabetes can fulfil their sweet craving by adding a little beetroot in their diet. Being a medium glycaemic index vegetable (means it releases sugars very slowly into the blood), it aids in maintaining your blood sugar levels low while satiating your sugar craving. (2) Also, this vegetable is low in calories and fat-free making it a perfect vegetable for diabetics.
#6 Treats anaemia
It is a common myth that because beetroot is reddish in colour, it replaces lost blood and is therefore good to treat anaemia. While this may sound a bit outrageous to many, there is a partial truth hidden in the myth. Beetroot contains a lot of iron. Iron helps in the formation of haemagglutinin, which is a part of the blood that helps transport oxygen and nutrients to various parts of the body. It is the iron content and not the colour that helps treat anaemia. Read about 5 foods you should avoid if you have anemia.
#7 Helps relieve fatigue
A study presented at the American Diabetics association's conference stated that beetroot helps boost a person's energy. They said that due to its nitrate content it helped dilate the arteries thereby helping in the proper transportation of oxygen to various parts of the body, increasing a person's energy. Another theory was that because the root is a rich source of iron, it helps in improving a person's stamina. (3)Whatever the source, a pick-me-up at the end of a tiring day can be just what one needs.
#8 Improves sexual health and stamina
Also known as 'natural Viagra', beetroot has been commonly used in a number of ancient customs to boost one's sexual health. Since the vegetable is a rich source of nitrates it helps release nitric oxide into the body, widening the blood vessels, and increasing blood flow to the genitals – a mechanism that medicines like Viagra seek to replicate. Another factor is that beetroot contains a lot of boron, a chemical compound that is important for the production of the human sex hormone. So the next time, ditch the blue pill and have some beetroot juice instead. Here are 8 sexual stamina boosting tips you shouldn't miss!
#9 Protects you from cancer
The betacyanin content in beetroot has another very important function. In a study done at the Howard University, Washington DC, it was found that betacyanin helped slow the growth of tumours by 12.5 percent in patients with breast and prostate cancer. (4) This effect not only helps in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers but it also helps cancer survivors remain cancer-free longer.
#10 Beats constipation
Because of its high soluble fibre content, beetroot acts as a great laxative. It helps in regularising your bowel movement by softening stools. It also cleanses the colon and flushes out the harmful toxins from the stomach. Here are a few home remedies to relieve constipation.
#11 Boosts brain power
A study done at the University of Exeter, UK, showed that drinking beetroot juice could increase a person's stamina by 16 percent, because of its nitrate content. Known to increase the oxygen uptake by the body, the study also found that because of this one factor, it could also help in the proper functioning of the brain and beat the onset of dementia. (5) It has also been seen that nitrate when converted to nitrite helps in the better transmission of neural impulses, making the brain work better. Read about how to keep your brain fit with 10 interesting and simple ways.

[www.keralites.net] How God Answers our prayers

 

How God Answers our Prayers?
Amazing Story…name of the Doctor is different in other mails.
Dr. Ahmed, a well-known doctor, was once on his way to an important medical conference in another city where-in he was going to be granted an award for medical research he had recently done. He was very excited to attend the conference and was desperate to reach as soon as possible. He had worked long and hard on his research and felt his efforts deserved the award he was about to obtain. However, two hours after the plane took off, the pilot announced that there was a problem with the plane and that they were going to make an emergency landing at the nearest airport. Afraid that he wouldn't make it in time for the conference, Dr. Ahmed immediately went to the help desk as soon as the plane landed and explained to the woman at the desk that he was expected to be at a very important conference and that he needed to know the immediate next flight to his destination.
She told him that there was nothing she could do to help him as there wouldn't be another flight to his destination for another ten hours; but suggested he rent a car and drive down to the city as it was only four hours away.
Having no other choice, he agreed to the idea despite his hatred for driving long distances. 
Dr. Ahmed rented a car and started his journey. However, soon after he left, the weather suddenly changed and a heavy storm began. The pouring rain made it very difficult for him to see and he missed a turn he was supposed to take.
After two hours of driving, he was convinced he was lost. Driving in the heavy rain on a deserted road, feeling hungry and tired, he frantically began to look for any sign of civilization. After some time, he finally came across a small tattered house. Desperate, he got out of the car and knocked on the door.
An old woman opened the door for him. He explained his situation and asked if he could use her telephone. She told him that she didn't have a phone or electricity but that he was welcome to come in for some food and something warm to drink as he had completely lost his way and that it would take him some time to get back on the right road.
Hungry, wet and exhausted, the doctor accepted her kind offer and walked in. The woman told him to help himself to some food and hot tea on the table and then excused herself to finish her prayers.
Sitting on the table sipping his tea, the doctor watched the woman in the dim light of candles as she prayed next to what appeared to be a small baby crib.
Every time she finished a prayer, she would start another one. Feeling that the woman might be in need of help, the doctor seized the opportunity to speak as soon as she finished her prayers and told her that he hoped God would answer her prayers. He then said that he noticed that she had been making a lot of prayers and asked if there was something she needed that he could get for her or help her with.
The woman smiled and said that god had answered all her prayers except one. She said she didn't know why God hadn't answered this specific prayer yet but perhaps it was because of her weak faith. The doctor asked if she didn't mind telling him what she needed. Nodding her head in approval, she said that the child in the crib was her grandson.. She said that the child had a very rare type of cancer and that all the doctors she had seen were unable to treat him. She also said that she had been told that there was a doctor who specialized in the type of cancer her grandson had, but there was no way for her to get to this doctor as he lived very far from her; so she has been spending her days and nights praying to God to help her find a way to get to Dr. Ahmed - the doctor who could treat her grandson.
Upon hearing her words, tears began to flow down the doctor's cheeks and he said: God is great, there was malfunction in the plane, a thunderstorm hit, and I lost my way; and all of this happened because God did not just answered your prayer by helping you find a way to get to Dr. Ahmed, but he brought Dr. Ahmed to your house. I am Dr. Ahmed.
Tears streaming down her cheeks, the woman raised her hands prayed "Oh God, how great.."
With kind regards,
