To live long, try this Italian recipe!
Aluke Carr

Researchers find that residents of Acciaroli, Italy load up on rosemary

In and around Acciaroli, Italy, a particularly pun gent variety of locally grown rosemary -said to smell 10 times as strong as the norm -is a daily part of the diet. Residents raise and consume their own rabbits. Anchovies too feature prominently on dinner plates.

Abundant sunshine and clean air keep people outdoors, swimming at beaches or climbing the steep hills that ripple along the Cilento Coast, south of Naples.

Do these environmental factors and food choices -a hy perlocal twist on the Mediterranean diet, which also includes olive oil, and fresh vegetables -explain why so many people here, both men and women, live past 90?" Researchers who just concluded a preliminary study of Acciaroli's nonagenarians and centenarians believe they could be part of the equation.

"They use rosemary on everything they cook," said one of the researchers, Dr. Alan S Maisel, a cardiologist and professor at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.

Of the area's inhabitants, about one in 60 is 90 or older.That rivals other so-called blue zones, like Sardinia and Okinawa, with unusually large concentrations of very old people. And the quality of life for people in Acciaroli with nine or 10 decades behind them is high: virtually no cataracts, few bone fractures, excellent heart health, and a low incidence of Alzheimer's disease.

Some studies have shown that rosemary can aid brain function, and the researchers think the variety grown in Acciaroli might have especially high concentrations of beneficial substances.

The older adults also demonstrate a robust sexual appetite. Dr. Maisel reported an attempted seduction by a woman pumping water in the center of Acciaroli, who he estimated was born not long after Mussolini took office in 1922. "The sexual activity is huge," he said.

The study found that Acciaroli's older residents have exceptionally good microcirculation -the small capillaries that go right into tissues to deliver nutrients and remove waste. "Their ADM levels are as good as a teenager," said Dr.Maisel, referring to adrenomedullin, a hormone that widens blood vessels.

"Have we discovered the Fountain of Youth? No," Dr.Maisel said. "But we're asking the right questions.

[www.keralites.net] Smartest people of All Times! [1 Attachment]

 


10. Stephen Hawking – IQ 160

Even after being diagnosed by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) that caused his paralysis, Hawking still worked for the better understanding of the universe to show the people how much the universe is unique. Hawking is best known for his groundbreaking research in theoretical physics. He helped us to understand the universe. It is Stephen who established the Big Bang Theory. He is renowned as a physicist as well as a Director in the cosmologist department and a cosmologist author.

9. Albert Einstein – IQ 160-190

Interestingly enough, Albert Einstein never took an IQ test, which is why the 160-190 is mostly presumed by experts and scholars across the world. Known for his essential work in the field of theoretical physics, professor Einstein is viewed as not only one of the most influential physicists in history, but also as one of the smartest people who have ever lived. Famous for developing the theory of relativity, the word 'Einstein' has rightfully become synonymous with the word genius over the years.

8. Judit Polgar – IQ 170

According to many people, Judit Polgar is considered to be the best chess player among women. She also won the competition of the youngest Grandmaster at a phenomenal age of 15. She is best known for beating Bobby Fischer at the age of 15. Fischer was considered the best player of chess in history before Judit. She also gave a beating to Garry Kasparov who was considered the number 1 player of chess.

In a similar fashion to Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci's IQ is based mostly on speculation, judging by how technologically advanced and how much before their time his inventions were. Experts believe that Da Vinci's IQ was within the 180-190 range, making him one of the smartest people in history. Leonardo da Vinci is also one of the first polymaths, an expert in various fields like sculpting, painting, geology, cartography, mathematics, and engineering.

6. Garry Kasparov – IQ 194

Garry Kasparov is without a doubt, the greatest chess player of all times. Between his professional debut in 1986 and the end of his career in 2005, Kasparov was ranked #1 for 225 out of a total of 228 months, the greatest form ever recorded for a chess grandmaster. Kasparov has been viewed as quite a prodigy over the years, having his fair share of international acclaim not only for his competitive form, but also for playing competitive matches and winning against advanced chess machines like IBM's Deep Blue computer.

5: Christopher Michael Langan – 195

Christopher is described as one of the smartest man in America. Langan started talking at an age of just six months and taught himself how to read at a phenomenal age of three. He also scored a perfect SAT score. He dropped from Montana University saying that he was smarter than his teachers. The man is certainly a figure of confidence. Langan developed the CTMU also known as the "Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe". Christopher stands at 5th spot with a high IQ level of 195.

4. Kim Ung-Yong – IQ 210

Born in 1963, Kim Ung-Yong started speaking around the time he was just 6 months old. By his 3rd birthday, Kim Ung-Yong could already read English, Korean, Japanese, and German. Later on, he would move to the United States to further his studies, subsequently getting a job at NASA where he worked for almost 10 years. At some point, however, Kim Ung-Yong decided to abandon his NASA career and return to his home country of South Korea to become a teacher.

3. Christopher Hirata – IQ 225

At the age of 13, Christopher Hirata became the youngest American to win a gold medal at the International Physics Olympiad in 1996. One year later, at the tender age of 14, Hirata enrolled in the California Institute of Technology. At the age of 22, Christopher Hirata obtained his PhD from Princeton, before returning to California. He remained in California to this day, teaching astrophysics at the California Institute of Technology.

2. Terence Tao – IQ 225-230

Australian mathematician Terence Tao was quite a well-known child prodigy in his younger years and rightfully so. The brilliant Terence Tao specializes in harmonic analysis, additive combinators, and a wide array of similar mathematics fields. The son of immigrants from Hong-Kong, Terence Tao received the Fields Medal in 2006 for excellence and innovation in mathematics. He currently works as a professor at the University of California in Los Angeles.

1. William James Sidis – IQ 250 – 300

The brilliant William James Sidis enrolled into the prestigious Harvard University when he was just 11 years old, to study mathematics. At the time of his enrollment, he was the younger student to ever enter Harvard. He was still a young man when he started teaching, but because the small age-gap, he had serious issues reaching his students who didn't always took kindly to him. He would later participate in socialist movements, getting in quite a bit of trouble with the law as a result. Because of his attitude, his parents would later confine him to a sanatorium in an attempt to reform his political views. After his release in 1921, William strayed away from academia and lived a rather normal life until his death at the age of 46 following a brain hemorrhage.

[www.keralites.net] Scientific Reasons You Should Practice Being SILENT

 


Scientific Reasons You Should Practice Being Silent!


Did you know that the Finnish Tourism Board raked in great  moolah with a marketing campaign about silence?
They tried to entice people with how 'silent' Finland was and how it would help them discover themselves.
And, it worked!   We cannot move to Finland, but we can, however, practice keeping our mouths shut for few minutes everyday.
And it's about time we listen to science  - Here's how science says it helps:  


1. A study found that two minutes of silence can be more relaxing than listening to music
A study in the journal Heart states that being silent has more effect on you than listening to music.
The study made a conclusion based on changes in blood pressure and blood circulation in the brain.
It is therefore suggested staying silent for a few minutes to get into a state of calm.


2. New brain cells are regenerated because of silence
A study in 2013 published in the journal Brain, Structure and Function studied the effect of silence on the brains of mice.
It was discovered that when the mice were exposed to two hours of silence per day
they developed new cells in the hippocampus, a region of the brain associated with memory, emotion and learning.
The study concluded that silence helps the new generated cells to differentiate into neurons, and integrate into the system,
which in simple terms means it can grow our brain.

 
3. Silence helps your development of cognitive and language skills
The effect of noise pollution on the cognitive skills of the human brain have been extensively studied.
One of the studies recorded that children exposed to households or classrooms near railways or highways
have lower reading scores and are slower in their development of cognitive and language skills.

4. "All profound things and emotions of things are preceded and attended by silence."
These lines from Herman Melville perfectly sum up a 2013 study which studied the default mode of the brain.
In 2013, in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, Joseph Moran et al. wrote that the brain's default mode network
"is observed most closely during the psychological task of reflecting on one's personalities and characteristics (self-reflection),
rather than during self-recognition, thinking of the self-concept, or thinking about self-esteem, for example."


 5. Silence relieves stress and tension
And we still don't remain silent when we're stressed.
Silence reduces the levels of stress hormones
therefore making you calmer and preparing you to take on the stressful situation.


6. People who remain silent in stressful situations are great thinkers
A study by Talentsmart suggests that all the top performers have one ability in common
and that is to remain calm and controlled during stressful situations.
They find silence around chaos and use it for their benefit.


7. The ancient practice of silent meditation, is known to have great health benefits
  Meditation is said to change the lives of people who were unhappy due to stress and tension.
It's a great thing to go for if you decide to go for days without uttering a word, and focusing on the good.
At first you might face mental inertia, but once you master the meditation technique, there are noticeable health benefits.


 Rajyoga Meditation inspirations:
The meditative state (silence of the mind) is the highest state of existence !
MEDITATION  applies the brakes to the mind!
MEDITATION is the master key to solve all our problems!
MEDITATION is when God talks to you, Prayer is when you talk to God!
MEDITATION is like breaking out of a personal prison and finding paradise!
 MEDITATION  is the magic that transforms poison into nectar, negative into positive!
MEDITATION  gives a  feeling of a deep sense of intimacy with God, a love that is inexplicable!
MEDITATION  is like giving a hug to ourselves, getting in touch with that awesome silent reality in us!
MEDITATION is to the soul, what breathing is to the body.... meditation is the breath (i.e. life) of the soul!

MEDITATION  teaches us how to dive into the Ocean of Silence, wherein lies the eternal treasure of happiness!

[www.keralites.net] PRAYER OF SURRENDER

 

PRAYER OF SURRENDER
Why get agitated? Let Me take care of all your business. I shall be the one who will think about them. I am waiting for nothing else than your surrender to Me, and then you do not have to worry any more about anything. Say farewell to all fears and discouragement. You demonstrate that you do not trust Me. On the contrary, you must rely blindly on Me.
To surrender means: To turn your thoughts away from troubles, to turn them away from difficulties you encounter and from all your problems
 Leave everything into My hands saying "Lord, Thy will be done. Thou think of it." That is to say: "Lord I thank you for you have taken everything in your hands, and you will resolve this for my highest good."
Remember that thinking of the consequences of a thing is contrary to surrender. That is to say, when you worry that a situation has not had the desired outcome, you thus demonstrate that you do not believe in My love for you. You will prove that you do not consider your life to be under My control and that nothing escapes Me.
Never think: How is this to end?... What is going to happen? If you give into this temptation, you demonstrate that you do not trust Me. Do you want Me to deal with it...yes or no? Then you must stop being anxious about it! I shall guide you only if you completely surrender to Me and when I must lead you into a different path than the one that you expect, I carry you in My arms.
What seriously upsets you is your reasoning, your worrying, your obsession, your will to provide for yourselves at any price. I can do so many things when the being, as much in his material necessities as in his spiritual ones, turns to Me saying: "You think of it." then he closes his eyes and rests quietly. You will receive a lot but only when your prayer will rely fully upon Me. You pray to Me when in pain so that I intervene, but in the way you desire it. You do not rely on Me, but you want Me to adjust your requests.
Don't behave like sick ones who ask a treatment to the doctor, all the time suggesting it to him. Do not do that; but rather, even in sad circumstances, say: "Lord I praise and thank You for this problem, for this necessity. I pray You to arrange things as You please for this terrestrial and temporal life. You know very well what is best for me."
Sometimes you feel that disasters increase instead of diminish. Do not get agitated. Close your eyes and tell me with faith: "Thy will be done. You think of it." And when you speak thus, I accomplish a miracle when necessary. I only think of it when you trust me totally. I always think of you, but I can only help you completely when you rely fully on Me.
Sai Baba
