[www.keralites.net] 14 foods that can replace pills

14 Foods that Can Replace Pills

Whenever we start feeling ill, the first thing we do is reach for the medicine cabinet. The problem with taking pills is that even though they'll probably help with your predicament, they're also bound to have unwanted side effects. The best solution is to use these 14 natural remedies, which are just as efficient as drugs.
1. Bananas – Stress and anxiety
Next time you feel stressed, grab a banana! With an average of 105 calories and 14 grams of sugar, a banana will boost your blood-sugar levels and help combat hunger. Additionally, a banana contains 30% of your daily requirement of Vitamin B6, which helps your brain in the production of serotonin - a chemical that helps reduce stress.
14 Foods

2. Yogurt – Constipation and gas
One and a half cups of yogurt are packed full of probiotics that assist in digestion and improves the stomach's ability to digest dairy and legumes – a major cause of gastric gasses.
3. Raisins - High blood pressure
A large handful of resins (approx. 60) contains over 200mg of potassium, as well as 1 gram of fiber. These are strongly recommended as part of a diet to help reduce blood pressure. Recent studies show that the polyphenols in grapes, raisins and wine, help maintain the circulatory system and reduce blood pressure.

4. Apricots – Kidney stones
4 dried apricots contain 2 grams of fiber, 235mg of potassium and just 3mg of sodium. This combination is highly effective at preventing minerals from getting trapped in your kidneys, which is the cause of the most common kidney stones.
5. Tuna – Foul mood
A can of tuna contains about 800mg of Omega-3, a fatty acid that is considered vital in the treatment of depression. Omega 3 is even an approved treatment for depression by the American Psychiatric Association.

6. Ginger tea - Nausea
A time-old proven treatment for nausea, ginger has also been scientifically proven to be helpful in dealing with nausea caused by motion sickness as well as morning sickness. It is as effective as anti-nausea medicine, but without the side effects (such as 'cottonmouth' and lethargy)
7. Basil - Indigestion
Studies suggest that the eugenol in basil is highly effective as a gastric painkiller, nausea reduction, cramping and diarrhea by eliminating bacteria like Salmonella and Listeria. Basil is also effective at preventing halitosis.
8. Pears – High cholesterol
The average pear contains 5 grams of the dietary fiber Pectin, which helps clear the body of 'bad cholesterol' (LDL).
9. Cabbage – Stomach ulcers
In a research published by the John Hopkins Medical School, it was found that the sulforaphane in cabbage helps battle the helicobacter pylori bacteria (a main cause for ulcers). It is believed that sulforaphane may also help prevent gastric tumors.

10. Figs - Hemorrhoids
Dried figs are rich in dietary fiber, which in turn, produce softer feces and aiding in reducing hemorrhoids and the likeliness of developing them.
11. Potatoes - Headaches
Amedium-sized potato contains 37 carbohydrates, which help reduce headaches by increasing serotonin production in the brain.
12. Garlic – Yeast infection
Garlic contains many essential oils that help prevent the development of yeast infections.

13.. Chamomile tea – Heartburn
A great treatment for gastric inflammation, cramping, heartburn and gas, is mixing 2 teaspoons of chamomile tea in a cup of boiling water and brewing it for about 20 minutes and then drinking it.
14. Orange juice – Lethargy
The fructose in orange juice is a natural and fast-working stimulant, and research has proven the ability of Vitamin C to reduce damage caused by free radicals and provide the body with energy. Vitamin C is also a key factor in maintaining iron levels in our blood, which keeps it oxygenated.

[www.keralites.net] 12 Indian Foods that Cut Fat

12 Indian Foods that Cut Fat

You don't have to acquire a taste for olive oil, seaweed or soya to maintain a low-fat, healthy diet. Indian cuisine can be healthy too, if it's cooked with oil and ingredients that take care of your heart and health.

Ayurveda suggests you include all tastes â€" sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent â€" in at least one meal each day, to help balance unnatural cravings. Here are 12 foods that can help you lose weight and gain health:

Turmeric : Curcumin, the active component of turmeric, is an object of research owing to its properties that suggest they may help to turn off certain genes that cause scarring and enlargement of the heart. Regular intake may help reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol and high blood pressure, increase blood circulation and prevent blood clotting, helping to prevent heart attack.

Cardamom : This is a thermogenic herb that increases metabolism and helps burn body fat. Cardamom is considered one of the best digestive aids and is believed to soothe the digestive system and help the body process other foods more efficiently.

Chillies : Foods containing chillies are said to be as foods that burn fat. Chillies contain capsaicin that helps in increasing the metabolism. Capsaicin is a thermogenic food, so it causes the body to burn calories for 20 minutes after you eat the chillies.

Curry leaves : Incorporating curry leaves into your daily diet can help you lose weight. These leaves flush out fat and toxins, reducing fat deposits that are stored in the body, as well as reducing bad cholesterol levels. If you are overweight, incorporate eight to 10 curry leaves into your diet daily. Chop them finely and mix them into a drink, or sprinkle them over a meal.

Garlic : An effective fat-burning food, garlic contains the sulphur compound allicin which has anti-bacterial effects and helps reduce cholesterol and unhealthy fats.

Mustard oil : This has low saturated fat compared to other cooking oils. It has fatty acid, oleic acid, erucic acid and linoleic acid. It contains antioxidants, essential vitamins and reduces cholesterol, which is good for the heart.

Cabbage : Raw or cooked cabbage inhibits the conversion of sugar and other carbohydrates into fat. Hence, it is of great value in weight reduction.

Moong dal : The bean sprouts are rich in Vitamin A, B, C and E and many minerals, such as calcium, iron and potassium. It is recommended as a food replacement in many slimming programmes, as it has a very low fat content. It is a rich source of protein and fiber, which helps lower blood cholesterol level. The high fiber content yields complex carbohydrates, which aid digestion, are effective in stabilising blood sugar and prevent its rapid rise after meal consumption.

Honey : It is a home remedy for obesity. It mobilises the extra fat deposits in the body allowing it to be utilized as energy for normal functions. One should start with about 10 grams or a tablespoon, taken with hot water early in the morning.

Buttermilk : It is the somewhat sour, residual fluid that is left after butter is churned. The probiotic food contains just 2.2 grams of fat and about 99 calories, as compared to whole milk that contains 8.9 grams fat and 157 calories. Regular intake provides the body with all essential nutrients and does not add fats and calories to the body. It is thus helpful in weight loss.

Millets : Fiber-rich foods such as millets - jowar, bajra, ragi, etc - absorb cholesterol and help increase the secretion of the bile that emulsifies fats.

Cinnamon and cloves: Used extensively in Indian cooking, the spices have been found to improve the function of insulin and to lower glucose, total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides in people with type 2 diabetes.

[www.keralites.net] Tirupati Tower in Thakur Complex, Kandivli ( Mumbai ) creates 10,000 sqft garden

Tirupati Tower in Thakur Complex, Kandivli ( Mumbai ) creates 10,000 sqft garden

Venkatraman Chandramouli, 70, resident and former executive director, Air India, who spearheaded the programme. ( Man in Green stripped T-Shrit )

Residents of a housing society in Kandivli created a 10,000 sqft garden to restore lost biodiversity.

Tirupati Tower in Thakur Complex, Kandivli.

The residents have created a 10,000 sqft garden, with fruit and flowering plants that will attract birds and butterflies.

From children to senior citizens, 80 residents got together on Sunday to recreate a green area that was lost when a drainage channel flowing along the building compound was widened. The residents planted five-foot-tall saplings of mango, pomegranate, tamarind, and neem, to ensure they have a higher survival rate. They plan to plant another 300 native trees in the compound.

"Our efforts are aimed at protecting the biodiversity of this area, which was home to countless birds, butterflies, and squirrels. Their habitat was lost after trees were destroyed but now they have automatically started returning, and the area will be restored completely within a few months," said Pradeep Keshwani, managing committee, Tirupati Towers and president, NGO Citizens' Right Protection Committee.

"The idea was to bring back the lost beauty of this garden and have a protected green space for our future generations," said Venkatraman Chandramouli, 70, resident and former executive director, Air India, who spearheaded the programme. "Planting trees along the banks of this polluted river not only reduces the stench, but also helps reduce our carbon footprint as a housing society."

For three months, Chandramouli reached out to various citizen groups and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) but failed to find saplings of small tree species. "Environmentalist Subhajit Mukherjee surveyed the area and told us that the garden can incorporate over 200 trees," he said.. "With Christmas around the corner, we treated the plantation as a symbolic celebration to give something back to nature." The garden currently has 120 trees. It also has a 1,500 sqft area allotted for a kitchen garden, where vegetables such as brinjal, radish, ladyfinger, chilies, tomatoes, different types of spinach, and more are being grown since 2015. According to the state forest minister, the 'socio-economic' value of a tree is ₹23.72 lakh a year, taking into account, the capacity of trees to absorb greenhouse gas responsible for climate change. With increasing construction work, the green cover in the city has taken a hit with trees being chopped off for projects.

"Our aim is to plant 1,000 trees within the Thakur complex, and bring back open green spaces for our children."
