[www.keralites.net] Ravi Kalra Giving dignity to the 450 homeless and abandoned - near Gurugram.

Ravi Kalra Giving dignity to the 450 homeless and abandoned - near Gurugram - Earth Saviours Foundation (ESF) :-

Ravi Kalra, who founded the Earth Saviours Foundation, left everything to dedicate his life to seva (service)

When his single mother could not take care of the mentally-challenged boy Rinku, she brought him to a homeless shelter in Bhandwari village on the outskirts of bustling Gurugram (formerly Gurgaon), one of India's fastest-growing cities and home to scores of multinational companies in glittering glass and steel towers. When the six-month pregnant Sarita Devi was abandoned by her husband, she was also sent to this open-to-all shelter by a court.

Now both of them have not only found a home, but also new families at the Earth Saviours Foundation (ESF), also called Gurukul. Like them, around 450 other homeless people, including over 300 mentally-challenged persons, found a home at this two-acre site in a rustic setting not far away from Gurugram's self-absorbed modern urbanity.

Inspired by the tough demeanour of his father, who was a police inspector in Delhi, Kalra learnt taekwondo, a skill that took him places. He even got to work with the US Army in recruiting soldiers from Nepal during the war with Iraq in 2007.

Having earned a fair bit of money, he wanted to give it back to society by doing "seva" (public service). While he always had this urge to do something to improve the lives of the needy, he got his epiphany when he came upon a beggar child scouring garbage along with street dogs on a busy Delhi road.

"I despised my wealth at that time. I felt as if I haven't done anything good for society. That was the moment I decided to leave everything and to dedicate my life to seva," he recalled.

[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] !2 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] Foods to fight Depression

TOP 10 FOODS TO FIGHT DEPRESSION

1. Fish Helps Depression. Certain fish are rich in essential
oils called omega-3 fatty acids. The links between omega-3
fatty acids and depression have been proven in several
different studies. The most famous was conducted at
Harvard in 1999. That study found that omega-3 helped
significant improve moods. Omega-3 can also lessen irritably.
The best sources of omega-3 are found in fish such as
salmon (wild, non-farmed), anchovies, mackerel, herring and
sardines. In addition to alleviating depression, fish oils have
been linked to alleviation of several other disorders,
including schizophrenia.

2. Nuts and Seeds Elevate Your Mood. Don't eat fish? Try
nuts and seeds as an alternative. Omega-3 fatty acids can be
found in Hazel nuts, pecans, walnuts, hempseeds and
flaxseed. Not only do they contain omega-3 they also contain
B vitamins. A joint study between the University of Navarra
and the University of Las Palmas, Spain in 2009 found that B
vitamins are associated with positive moods and reduce the
chances of mild depression. Vitamin B1 can be found in
sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, Brazil nuts, cashew nuts,
almonds and walnuts.

[Update:

Some nuts and seeds contain a specific form of omega-3
fatty acid known as alpha-linolenic acid. Alpa-linolenic acid
has been linked strongly to lower risk of depression. A 10 -
year study of 54,632 women by researchers from the
Harvard School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School
found that those women whose diets contain the highest
amounts of this acid were 18% less likely to suffer from
depression.

What foods are high in alpha linolenic acid? Flaxseeds and
walnuts are particularly high in alpa-linolenic acid. Flaxseeds
contain about 2.2 grams per tablespoon and walnuts contain
about .7 g in a tablespoon. Other sources include canola oil,
soybeans and soy oil, perilla and pumpkin seeds.]

3. Greens Help You Stay Positive. The Spanish study also
recommended vegetables as an ally against depression..
Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, can be found in
avocados. The other main B vitamins can be found in
mushrooms, pumpkins and green peppers.

A 1997 Harvard study found links between lack of folate,
also known as folic acid, and depressive symptoms.
Vegetables that are good sources of folic acid include
broccoli, Brussel sprouts and asparagus. It's important not
to overcook vegetables as they can lose their vitamin content.

4. Fruit Also Help Depression. Vegetables' natural
companion in healthy eating is always fruit. Flavonoids are
the key here. Flavonoids are frequently referred to as
antioxidants. A study completed in 2005 in Beijing, China
found that flavonoids can inhibit the symptoms of mild
depression. They are mostly found in citrus fruits like
oranges and grapefruits.

5. Olive Oil Raises Your Mood. The University of California-
San Francisco released a major research study on olive oil in
2009. They found that olive oil can also help in fighting
depression. Olive oil is a source of omega-3 but also contains
good fats that keep the heart healthy and can even help you
to live longer

6. Certain Cereals Can Help Depression. Sugary cereals are
best avoided but whole cereals such as oatmeal contain
vitamins B-1 and B-6 which as mentioned have been linked
to improving mood. It is important to pick the right cereal;
even cereals claiming to be healthy are not always. You
should look for cereals that have whole grains or barley and
always check the sugar content. (University of Bristol, 1998)

7. Chickpeas and other pulses/legumes. Chickpeas are a
healthy, fast and versatile food and they fight depression
too. One of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to get the
benefits from chickpeas is hummus. They contain B vitamins
and folic acid. Other pulses and legumes that beneficial
include; soy beans, lentils, butter beans, haricot beans, split
peas, blackeye beans and kidney beans. (UofLP&UofN, Spain,
2009)

8. Eat Brown Rice to Fight Depression. As mentioned the
study done by University College London in 2009 showed
that highly refined foods can lead to depression. Therefore
eating foods like brown rice which slowly release glucose
into the blood stream prevents the highs and lows
experienced with processed foods. In addition brown rice
contains B vitamins and folic acid. This is also for whole
pastas. Also Potatoes that are baked or boiled are filling and
contain B vitamins.

9. Chocolate Can Raise Your Mood.. Researchers have
confirmed what many a broken heart has already discovered.
Chocolate can lift your spirits.

Well, this one comes with a warning. We all wish chocolate
was the answer to life's troubles but too much of a good
thing is bad for us and chocolate is good for us. The higher
the percentage of cocoa in the chocolate the better. A 1995
University of Dundee study found that chocolate contains
certain chemicals that affect the brain by releasing
endorphins and serotonin. These are the chemicals that
signal your brain to feel happy.

One small piece of chocolate per day can help boost your
mood. But be careful. Eat too much and you risk feelings of
guilt and weight gain. (Read more about the Top 10 health
benefits of chocolate.)

10. Tea to the Rescue. Tea contains valuable flavonoids.
After citrus fruits it is the best source of these. Experts have
also found that tea, especially brewed green tea, affects the
body by stimulating sections of the brain that produce a
feeling of relaxation. This can be beneficial to those who are
feeling anxious or having problems sleeping. Some herbal
teas like chamomile can also help with relaxation. (University
of Nagoya, Japan, 2007)
