8 Benefits of Drinking Lemon Water

Ask most people how they feel about lemons and they will either pucker their lips or insist that the yellow fruit's only place is in lemonade. Yet little do many know, lemons are some of the most nutrient-rich and healthy fruits out there that can be used to ease a wide variety of ailments. Here is a list of a few ways that lemon juice can transform your bodily health, for the short-term and the long-term!

1. Boosts Your Immune System

Lemons are rich in vitamin C, B, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and fiber. Although vitamin C is the key to jump-starting our immune system, the rest of the nutritional benefits of the lemon can certainly do you no harm. It's good to drink a glass or two of lemon water when you are feeling stressed, because that is when your immune system is most likely to fall weak to any surrounding bacteria or viruses.

2. A Surprising Source of Potassium

Potassium is good for your heart health as well as your brain and nerve function. It is usually found in vegetables like potatoes and spinach, but lemons are also an excellent source for a potassium boost.

3. Eases Your Digestion

Lemon water should be drunk at room temperature as warm water helps stimulate smooth movement within the gastrointestinal tract. Lemons and other citrus fruits contribute to this effect because they are high in vitamins and minerals that loosen up the toxins in the digestive tract, known as ama. Lemon is an excellent natural remedy for symptoms of indigestion like heartburn and bloating.

4. A Natural Diuretic

Lemons increase the rate of urination and therefore are able to quickly remove toxins in the digestive tract that can affect the health of the urinary tract.

5. Keeps Your Skin Clear

The potent vitamin C in lemons helps keep the skin blemish and wrinkle-free. In addition the antioxidants in lemon juice can be applied to scars and age spots in order to reduce their appearance without diminishing the skin's radiance.

6. Reduces Inflammation

Drinking lemon water on a regular basis may decrease the levels of acidity within the body, which is where disease is most likely to occur. It works to remove uric acid in the joints which is the main source for joint pain and inflammation. It's best to drink the lemon water in the winter at a lukewarm temperature to fight off the effects of cold-weather stiffness.

7. A Caffeine Aid

Lemon juice is an excellent way to cut back on caffeine in coffee or soda because it has similar rejuvenating effects. Substituting your morning cup of joe for a cup of hot water and lemon may save you from an afternoon crash and quiet your caffeine cravings.

8. Keeps You Hydrated

Starting your day off with a cup of hot lemon water can not only prevent fatigue later on in the day, but also dehydration. Dehydration is one of the major causes of toxic buildup, stress and even susceptibility to viral infections. So if you are the kind that forgets to drink water, it is recommended that you drink lemon water in order to stay hydrated throughout the day.

5 Surprising Foods That Help You Sleep

June and July are cherry season, one of the last true fruit "seasons," since cherries are that rare commodity nowadays, a fruit that disappears from store shelves during the rest of the year. But did you know that cherries aren't just tasty and packed with antioxidants, they can actually help you sleep better? The fact is that your choice of late-night snack could mean the difference between restless insomnia and deep, health-promoting sleep. Here are the top five foods experts recommend to beat insomnia and send you to sleep.

1. Cherries.
According to agricultural research studies, herries are one of the only natural food sources of melatonin, the chemical that controls the body's internal clock to regulate sleep. During the ten months of the year when cherries are out of season, dried cherries and cherry juice (especially tart cherry juice, which contains less sugar) are good substitutes. (Grapes also contain melatonin, but you need to eat more of them to get the same effect.) Researchers who've studied the melatonin content of cherries recommend eating them an hour before bedtime.

2. Bananas.
Potassium and magnesium are natural muscle relaxants, and bananas are a good source of both. They also contain the amino acid L-tryptophan, which gets converted to 5-HTP in the brain. The 5-HTP in turn is converted to serotonin (a relaxing neurotransmitter) and melatonin.

3. Toast.
Carbohydrate-rich foods cause a spike in blood sugar levels, triggering the body's production of insulin to bring them back down. This is why you often feel a burst of energy in the first few minutes after eating carbs, then a "crash" of tiredness. At night, this sleepiness can be very useful, making toast the perfect midnight snack. Along with insulin comes a release of tryptophan and serotonin, two brain chemicals that promote relaxation and combat anxiety.

4. Scottish or Irish Oatmeal.
The truth is, ask Dr. Oz and he'll suggest pumpkin seed powder and the Mexican alcoholic drink pulque before he gets to oatmeal, third on his list of sleep-inducing foods. But oatmeal is certainly more appetizing and easier to stock in your kitchen. Another complex carbohydrate, oatmeal triggers a rise in blood sugar, which in turn triggers insulin production and the release of sleep-inducing brain chemicals. Oats are also rich in vitamin B6, an anti-stress vitamin, and melatonin.

5. Warm milk.
The experts go back and forth on this on (with the dairy industry funding plenty of research), but there is some evidence that this tried and true sleep aid really does work. Although, according toscientific analysis, combining milk with a carbohydrate-rich food like oatmeal, granola, or toast makes it much more effective. Like bananas, milk contains the amino acid L-tryptophan, which turns to 5-HTP and releases relaxing serotonin. It's also high in calcium and other minerals, known to have a relaxing effect

[www.keralites.net] 15 EXTRA USES OF BANANA

15 Extra Uses for 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.
