Brain Damaging Habits

Posted on 11 February 2012 by Tea Server

All praises and thanks are to Allah Lord of everything that exists. The most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment you (alone) we worship, and you (alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way the Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor those who went astray. Amen

Islam emphasizes on eating less amount of food than appetite so does the science. Islam asks to eat breakfast lavishly so does the modern science—–Now see what Chinese say about not having breakfast:

1. No Breakfast  


People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating 
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking                                                             
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

We should adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good

Eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to “schedule.”                 Because:

Evening at 9 – 11pm: is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an exhausting state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, will have a negative impact on her health.

Evening at 11pm – 1am: is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 – 3am: detoxification process in the gallbladder, also   ideally done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 3 – 5am: detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 – 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 – 9am: absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should have breakfast at this time.  Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast should change their habits. However it’s still better to eat breakfast late until 9 – 10am rather than no meal at all.                                                                                                                              Sleeping late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don’t sleep late.

Wish healthy and long life to every one!

Cayenne

Posted on 11 February 2012 by Tea Server

flower of caynenne

Kitchen Clinic:Cayenne

Looking for something to relieve your aches and pains? Look no further than your spice rack in the kitchen.Cayenne is the hot (literally) alternative to pain relief.

Cayenne contains a compound called capsaicin, which provides hot, mouthwatering (or mouth-burning depending on your taste buds) flavor and purported health benefits. In fact, capsaicin cream is sold as a nonprescription medication for the relief of nerve pain. It seems to work by reducing a chemical involved in transmitting pain signals to the brain.

Healthy Uses for Cayenne

Medical research suggests that cayenne may have the following health-promoting abilities:

  • Relieving pain, such as pain from arthritis, post herpetic neuralgia (a late complication of shingles), back pain, diabetic neuropathy, and nerve pain following surgery.
  • Psoriasis
  • Reducing discomfort of minor digestion (oral use)

However, the most convincing evidence refers only to external use of cayenne for pain relief. If you have a chronic or serious medical condition, you should not simply self-medicate with cayenne.

How Much Do I Need and What

Kind Do I Take?

To treat localized painful conditions, try applying capsaicin cream (0.025-0.075 percent capsaicin) to painful areas four times daily. Do not apply the cream to the same location for more than 2 to 3 days at a time, to avoid excessive irritation of sensitive nerves.

Precautions When

Using Cayenne Medicinally

If capsaicin cream or cayenne irritates your skin or      stomach, stop taking it. Do not apply cayenne or     capsaicin cream to broken or irritated skin, or mucous  membranes.

Capsaicin cream may increase the risk of cough in   people taking blood pressure medications called ACE inhibitors.

Cayenne is spicy and can therefore cause irritation of the skin, eyes, and stomach (though it does not worsen duodenal ulcers). Wash your hands after handling cayenne or capsaicin to avoid getting it in your eyes.

If cayenne irritates your skin or stomach, stop taking it. Although cayenne and capsaicin are considered safe for use during pregnancy, check with your healthcare provider if you intend to use them medicinally during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

In the  East it is the main ingredient of every day dishes.

Home Remedies To Prevent Cough

Posted on 20 December 2011 by Tea Server


With the approaching winters, cold and cough could get really annoying while you are trying to make the most productive of your day. A dripping nose or several sneezes of dry cough would be the last thing you want while you are delivering an important presentation at office or while you are involved in an extremely important meeting which could be a milestone for your career. Being prepared with preventive measures for such problems could be a smarter way to keep your health in check while you head to the other important tasks.
Understanding the root cause of cough and cold will allow a deeper analysis of ways to cure or prevent it. Cold and cough are generally caused due a set of rhino-viruses that infect the cells lining the nose and then begin to reproduce. A weak immune system gives such viruses, a chance to attack the body and create a mess. However, cough and cold are generally known to cure by itself within a week. It does not require a horde of modern medicines that do more harm to your body than good. But, spending a week with cold and cough could also be quite annoying when that one week is crucial for your professional growth. Hence, it is better to undertake preventive measures through a few home remedies that are safe and effective.
We Indians are blessed with several home remedies to cure cough which include, having a cup of warm natural tea with squirted lemon and a spoon of honey. Honey coats the irritated throat and reduces the cough. Besides, chewing a small piece of fresh ginger is also very effective to fight cough. It will slowly reduce the impulse to cough. However, the master of all home remedies for cough is ‘Cod Liver Oil’. Its medicinal properties have been used since generations for various ailments. Even today researchers keep on discovering newer traits of this oil that can be used to treat various sicknesses and diseases.
Cod liver oil comprises rich quantities of Vitamin A, Vitamin D and Omega 3 fatty acids EPA & DHA. Omega 3 is said to assist in giving relief from a consistent cold and cough by fighting those rhino-viruses, while vitamin A not only helps in maintaining a healthy overall growth but also contributes in strengthening the immune system. With a strong immune system, cold and cough will be distant relatives and even if they visit you once in a while, cod liver all does all that it takes to fight them off and bid them a farewell soon enough.
With the help of modern advancements, this oil is now available as a supplement that has been refined from its crude form, while retaining all its healing properties. Cod liver oil is made available in the form of liquid as well as soluble capsules. It is easy to consume and leaves your body in the fittest state to fight all the viruses causing cold and cough. This oil is also known for its miraculous properties of healing many major life threatening diseases. So in case of cold and cough, you can rely on this natural home remedy blindly, but obviously avoiding an overdose of it!
