Green tea has been touted for various health benefits (such as fighting against heart disease and cancer) largely due to it’s high level of antioxidants called catechins. Now, Chinese scientists have found that the catechins appear to be able to penetrate into the tissues of the eyes, especially into the retina, which is the light-sensing tissue that lines the back of the eye. The study, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, demonstrated that this antioxidant activity can last for up to 20 hours after drinking green tea extract. The authors theorize that the readily absorbed antioxidants help to protect the delicate tissues of the eye from glaucoma and other eye diseases. However, it must be noted that East Asians experience the highest rate of blindness from one common type of glaucoma, despite being among the largest consumers of green tea. Therefore, further studies will definitely be needed to confirm any protective ocular effects of green tea in humans.

Information about TNAU
- NAIP – A Value Chain on Industrial Agroforestry in Tamil Nadu
The Forest College and Research Institute (FC&RI) is located at Mettupalayam in the sylvan surroundings of Jakanarai Reserved Forest, about 40 km north of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) main campus, Coimbatore. It is situated over a sprawling expanses of 200 ha of reserved forest at the foothills of Nilgiris on the Kotagiri road. The college is perched at an altitude of 300 m with a longitude of 11o19' N, latitude of 77o56' E and enjoys an annual rainfall of 830 mm. The mean maximum and minimum temperature are 32.2o C and 23.2o C respectively. This Institute has been awarded with National Agriculture Innovation Project by ICAR on a value chain on Industrial Agro forestry in Tamilnadu through a consortium approach involving research organizations,farmers,industries, financial institutionals and others.
The biological diversity of forests and their ecological functions are the heritage of mankind. The forests of India are shrinking under acute socio economic pressure and developmental process. Currently, forest area in the country is around 23.55% and in the state of Tamil Nadu it is around 17.5% which is low against the mandated requirement of 33%. Not only the forest wealth of the country is poor but also its productivity in terms of mean annual increment (MAI) is also one of the lowest. The MAI of Indian Forest is less than 1m3ha-1yr-1 compared to the global average of over 2.1 m3ha-1yr-1.The low forest cover coupled with poor productivity has ushered in a total mismatch between demand and supply of both domestic and industrial wood besides creating environmental de-stability and disequilibrium.
The National Forest Policy of 1988 has resolved to phase out the supply of raw material to wood based industries and ultimately totally stopped the raw material supply from the forest. The policy also indicated that wood based industries have to become self reliance in meeting the raw material demand by establishing direct linkages with the farmers by providing lending facilitates and other input needs. This is going to pave the way for a strong industry-farmer nexus, with many farmers attracted towards tree husbandry due to assured marketability and income. As the activity gets intensified, location specific problems warranting solution are also found to be in the ascendancy. Many plantation activities suffer due to non availability of potential varieties suitable to varied edapho-climatic conditions. All these underpins, a strong institute and industrial linkages to develop superior genotypes suitable for various agroclimatic zones coupled with intensive silvicultural management for productivity improvement thereby helping to improve the farm net income. Against this back drop, the current project is designed to establish institutional mechanism to promote Industrial Agro forestry in association with all levels of stake holders and to intiate value chain mangament process in forestry.

Breath
BREATHING
Our noses have left and right nostrils.
Are these nostrils having the same function for inhaling (breathe in) and exhaling (breathe out)?
Actually it's not the same and we can feel the difference. Accordingly, the right side represents the sun and the left side represents the moon.
When having headache, try to close your right nostril and use your left nostril to do
Breathing for about 5 minutes. The headache will be gone.
If you feel too tired, do it the opposite way. Close your left nostril and breathe through your right nostril. After a while, you will feel refresh again.
Because the right side belongs to heat, so it gets hot easily. The left side gets cold easily.
Women breathe mainly with their left nostril, so they get calm down easily.
Men breathe mostly with their right nostril, so they get angry easily.
When we wake up, do we notice which nostril breathes faster???
Is it the left side or the right side?
If the left nostril breathes faster, you will feel very tired.
Close your left nostril and use your right nostril for breathing and you will get refresh quickly.

Information about chickenpox
What Is Chicken Pox?
Chickenpox is a rash illness caused by a virus. Once a person is exposed to the chickenpox virus, it takes between 2 and 3 weeks before the symptoms appear. Chickenpox usually occurs in childhood. Adults who contract chicken pox are usually more ill, especially with pneumonia. Chickenpox is very common and highly contagious. Approximately 3 million cases occur each year in the United States . More than 90% of Chickenpox cases occur in children less than 12 years of ag
Symptoms of Chickenpox?
The symptoms of chickenpox vary from individual to individual. Some people may experience all of these symptoms while others experience one or two.
The most common symptoms of chickenpox are:
- Mild fever. The fever varies between 101º F to 105º F and returns to normal when the blisters have disappeared.
- backache
- headache
- sore throat
- a rash (red spots)
- blisters filled with fluid
How is Chickenpox Transmitted?
Chickenpox is transmitted through the air. When a patient with chickenpox coughs or sneezes, they expel tiny droplets that carry the chicken pox virus (varicella-zoster virus, VZV). If a person who has never had chicken pox inhales these particles, the virus enters the lungs and is carried through the blood to the skin where it causes the typical rash of chicken pox. The infected droplets cause an initial infection in the respiratory epithelium.
The incubation period of chickenpox is between 10 and 20 days.
Before the typical rash appears, patients often develop a fever, headache, swollen glands and other flu like symptoms.
Skin vesicles contain the virus but are not the primary sources. Scabs are not infectious. Patients are contagious from 2 days before onset of the rash until all lesions have crusted.
Can Chickenpox be prevented?
Chickenpox can be prevented . The easiest way to prevent catching chicken pox is to get vaccinated. However, vaccination is only successful in 70% to 90% of all vaccinations. Individuals who have been vaccinated but still acquire chickenpox, usually have a milder disease that heals more quickly than non vaccinated individuals.
Chickenpox and Pregnancy
Chickenpox can cause serious problems during pregnancy, especially when infection occurs early in the pregnancy or at the time of delivery. If chickenpox occurs early in pregnancy, several types of fetal abnormalities, including limb abnormalities, scarring ofinternal organs and neurological damage can occur. Pregnant women who suspect exposure to chickenpox should immediately contact their healthcare provider.

At this point, I wanted to share my living style, which has caused this block in my heart arteries. Please see the below points of my life style, if any of these points are part of your life style then you are at risk, please change yourselves.
1. I was not doing any physical exercise for more than 10 years, not even walking 30 minutes a day for years.
2. My food timings are 11:00 AM Breakfast or no! Breakfast, 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM Lunch and dinner at 11:00 PM to 12:00 AM.
3. Sleeping in very odd timings, going to bed between 12:00 AM and 3:00 AM. Waking up at between 9:00 AM and 10:30AM........ Sometimes spending sleepless nights.
4. I used to eat heavily because of long gaps between lunch and dinner and I used to make sure that Non-Veg is available most of the time, there were times when I did survey on city hotels to find delicious Non-Veg dishes. I was never interested in vegetable and healthier food.
5. Above all I was chain smoker from years.
6. My father passed away due to heart problems, and the doctors say the heart problems are usually genetic.
I learnt from the doctors that 60% of people will die before reaching the hospital, 20% people will die in the process of recovering from heart attack and only 20% will survive... In my case, I was very lucky to be part of the last 20%.
Doctors instructions:
1. Need to have physical exercise for minimum of 45 minutes daily.
2. Eat your food at perfect timings like how you eat during your school days. Eat in small quantities more times and have lot of vegetables and boiled food, try to avoid fry items and oily food. Fish is good than other non-vegetarian food.
3. Sleep for 8 hours a day, this count should complete before sun rising.
4. Stop smoking.
5. Genetic problems, we cannot avoid but we can get away from it by having regular checkups.
6. Find a way to get relieved from the stress (Yoga, Meditation etc).
So I urge you all to please avoid getting into this situation, it is in your hands to turn the situation upside down, by just planning / changing your life style, by following simple points above.

~ SEEDS ~
Each moment as you move through this world, you are planting seeds. Those seeds are your thoughts. Once planted, they take root and grow into a forest of reality which surrounds you. So how is your forest growing?
Is it filled with beautiful, productive flora, growing from a steady stream of positive thought seeds? Or is it filled with gnarled, thorny, tangled vines which hold you back in every direction?
The trees that grow depend upon the seeds that are planted. Though each thought is a small, seemingly insignificant thing, once it has passed through your mind it begins to grow into something real and substantial.
Each thought combines with the other thoughts that came before it, and the thoughts that come after it, to set the direction of your reality. Even the most secret, hidden thoughts eventually become obvious because of the direction they give to your life.
You can decide how to direct your mind, and by so doing you can profoundly affect the reality of your life. Plant row after row of positive, empowering thought seeds, and they'll grow into a rich and magnificent forest of value and accomplishment.

Cancer Killer - The Soursop
GUYABANO, THE SOUR SOP FRUIT
Why are we not aware of this? It's because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale.
So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time. The taste is not bad after all. It’s completely natural and definitely has no side effects. If you have the space, plant one in your garden.
The other parts of the tree are also useful.
The next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour-sop juice.

If the left nostril breathes faster, you will feel very tired.
Close your left nostril and use your right nostril for breathing and you will get refresh quickly.
You can teach your kids about it. The effect of breathing therapy is much better for adults.
I used to have painful headache. When consulted a doctor, he told me jokingly,
"You will be all right if you get married!" The doctor did not bullshit
me as he had his theory and supported with testimony.
During that time, I used to have headache every night and I was not able to work.
I took medicine but I was not cured.
One night as I sat down to mediate, I closed my right nostril and breathed with my left nostril.
In less than a week, it seemed that my headache problem had left me!
I continued doing it for about a month and since then there was no recurrence of headache in me.
This is my own experience. I used to tell others who also suffer headache to try this method
as it was effective for me. It also works for those who have tried as well.
This is a natural therapy, unlike taking medicines for a long time may have side effect.
So, why don't you try it out?
Practice the correct ways of breathing (breathe in & breathe out) and your body will be
in a very relaxing condition.
Thanks to My bujji
With Love
