PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CANCER
Radical liberals are not a political group, but a kind of very active molecule that is suspected of being one of the causes of cancer. How can you protect yourself? Diet plays an important role here, especially in the absorption of anti-oxidants. The strongest anti-oxidizing agent is Vitamin E, which is found in wheat germ oil and sunflower seeds. Next comes Vitamin C (oranges, grapefruits, lemons, red peppers etc.).Beta carotene also absorbs large amounts of radical liberals. This substance seems to act as a protecting agent against most types of cancer. Where do you find it? In red vegetables (like tomatoes), orange ones (carrots), yellow (squash), and dark green (broccoli). All theseare rich in beta carotene. So make them a regular part of your menu!

Stress Management
What is Stress?
The term "stress" is difficult to define and may mean different things to different people in divergent circumstances. The oldest definition is that of Hans Selye who defined stress as the "non-specific (i.e. common) result of any demand on the body, whether the effect be mental or somatic".
According to latest health reports, Stress is said to be one of the largest killers of man today. Stress is now becoming more accepted as being crucially related to our total health - physical, mental and emotional. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, the majority of all physician visits are prompted by stress-related symptoms that are known to cause or worsen medical conditions.
Stress is our response to specific stimuli called "Stress inducers". Or they are the events that generally produce stress. They may be temporary or chronic, leading to negative health consequences or outcomes changing a person's life. Although life itself is dependent upon certain forms of stress, it is only when stress is handled poorly by the body or mind that it becomes a health hazard. Stress that is expressed or experienced negatively can be linked to many physical complaints, from headaches and hypertension to symptoms affecting a person's mental state. Anxiety, depression and feelings of anger, fear, helplessness or hopelessness, and other emotions are often linked to stress.
Two powerful body systems cope with stress। The nervous system controls the rapid body changes, while the endocrine system regulates the longer-term patterns of stress response by releasing hormones into the blood. The adrenal activates the sympathetic nervous system, reducing the normalizing effects of body function. This increases the metabolic rate, heart rate, circulation and blood pressure. In addition, effectiveness of the digestive system is diminished and disturbances in sleep patterns become common.
How stress is created?
Interchangeably used with the word anxiety, stress relates mutually to our social and psychological environment. Major situations like divorce, marriage, retirement, death in the family, pre-natal conditions, a job loss and other emotional upheavals as well as minor hassles like waiting in line for hours, getting struck in a traffic jam, misplacing or losing something, disputes, even daily household chores and competitive examinations in fact any unsettling human experience can sometimes become stressful and play havoc with a person's health.
In the work place and even at home, stress can test a person's problem-solving abilities। The demands of everyday living are numerous and if a warning bell is sounding somewhere within you, it's time you pay heed to it.
Stress alarm - Identify your Stress त्रिग्गेर्स
What are the warning signals? Are you moving towards a stress burnout? If you have been experiencing the symptoms listed below, over extended periods of time, it's time you acted - now!
· Can't cope, can't concentrate, Feel hopeless, helpless, depressed.
· Always tired
· Often irritable and angry. Can't control your temper
· Eat too much or too little. Eat too many fats, too much salt and sugar
· Have trouble sleeping. Don't get enough sleep, or sleep too much and still feel tired

· Family tensions run higher than usual. You and your spouse fight more often
· Not interested in sex.
· Always sick lately. Get cough and colds and other viral infections more often than you used to
· Allergies and skin rashesDisinterested in life, in जनरल
What are the causes of stress?
"stressors" or "triggers।" There are two kinds of stressors: external and internal.
External stressors include:
The Physical environment noise, bright lights, heat, confined spaces.
Social (interaction with people): rudeness, bossiness or aggressiveness on the part of someone else.
Organizational: rules, regulations, "red tape," deadlines.
Major life events: death of a relative, lost job, promotion, and new baby.
Daily hassles: commuting, misplacing keys, mechanical breakdowns.
Internal stressors include:
Lifestyle choices: caffeine, not enough sleep, overloaded schedule.
Negative Thinking: Pessimism, self-criticism, over-analyzing.
Mind traps: unrealistic expectations, taking things personally, exaggerating, rigid thinking.
Stressful personality traits: perfectionist, workaholic, pleaser.
It is important to note that most of the stress that most of us have is actually self-generated। This is a paradox because so many people think of external stressors when they are upset (it is the weather, the boss, the children, the spouse, the stock market). Recognizing that we create most of our own upsets, however, is an important first step to dealing with them. The most important thing is, to be able to monitor your stress levels and know how to deal with your problems as they appear. The body is superbly equipped to deal with stress, but up to a certain level. If you're adaptive resources become overworked and exhausted, your body ceases to function smoothly. Different organs then can become stress targets.

Reduce excess weight
Reduce excess weight
Excess weight is a condition in which individual is significantly overweight. Excessive bodyfat is accumulated on the belly, buttocks, breasts and thighs। An individual is considered obese when weight is 20% (25% in women) or more over the maximum desirable for their height. When an adult is more than 100 pounds overweight, it is considered morbid obesity.
In ayurveda, Charak Samhita describes eight different types of bodies that are disease prone. Out of these, the obese body is described as ‘Medoroga’ the one afflicted with the most diseases and troubles. Obesity is the condition or physical state of the body when excessive deposition of fat takes place in the adipose tissue. Extra fat puts a strain on the heart, kidneys, liver and the joints such as the hips, knees and ankles and thus, overweight people are susceptible to several diseases like coronary thrombosis, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, gout, liver and gall bladder disorders. Chief cause of obesity is overeating, irregular eating habits and not following the rules of eating or mixing non-compatible food items in one meal.
Common Consumption of more food (specially heavy, sweet, cooling food) than the body can useExcess alcohol intake
Sedentary lifestyle

But in Obese fellow Meda is excessively nourished and remaining other Dhatus get malnourished. Kapha gets accumulated in between. Roll of medicines with dietary correction is to remove obstructed Kapha and let all Dhatus nourish equally. When Kapha increases in abnormal fashion, Fat metabolism gets hampered and person becomes Obese।

Intake of Guggulu derivatives regularly for three months results in four times the weight loss. This herb also possesses effective purifying and rejuvenating abilities, which have been used in Ayurvedic medicine. In the Sushruta Samhita (1960s- ancient Sanskrit medical text), Guggulu was also suggested for fat loss (medoroga, a disease that closely resembles the symptoms of high cholesterol and hardening of the arteries) and the relief of arthritis। Some recent studies have noted benefits for these conditions as well as acne and other conditions.
Neem (अज़दिराकhta indica):
It is used in Ayurveda for skin disorders, pimples, diabetes, tumours, obesity, arthritis, viral fevers, jaundice and as a blood purifier।

It is beneficial in the treatment of several common ailments like dropsy, ascities, oedema, anaemia, cough, pluerisy, nervous weakness, constipation and paralysis.
Diet that helps to loose weight:
Early morning - A glass of hot water mixed with the juice of half a lemon। A teaspoonful of honey can be added if you like।
