Fruits contain 90-95% water, which have a diuretic (increases urination) effect on the body and help eliminate the toxins and nitrogenous wastes from the body.

Help control blood pressure

Most of the fruits are low in sodium and high in potassium, which is an important mineral and helps to maintain normal blood pressure and also improve heart function.

Health benefits of fruits

Fruits like grapes and cherries, blueberries, kiwi, plums and blackberries helps reduce the risk of cancer and heart diseases. Guava, oranges, papaya and Indian gooseberry are very good sources for vitamin C an antioxidant. Mangoes and papaya are excellent source for beta carotene.

Lower bad cholesterol

Beta carotene and lycopene present in apricots take care of the heart by preventing oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Health benefits of apricots include building up of energy and iron resources in the body.

Provide important minerals & vitamins to the body

Bananas are a very good source of potassium, vitamin B, vitamin C, manganese and dietary fibre. They are one of the highest sources of potassium, and regular intake may even help to keep blood pressure low.

Provide fibre to the body

The fibre present in fruits like apples has a laxative effect on the body i.e. it helps relieve constipation. The fibre also gives a feeling of satiety by adding bulk to the diet which is beneficial in conditions like diabetes mellitus, heart diseases and obesity.

Rich in anti-oxidants

Fruits like Kiwi are a very good source of vitamin E that is an important fat-soluble antioxidant which when combined with water-soluble antioxidants provides free radical protection on all fronts.

Beneficial for heart health

Papayas is a rich source of antioxidants, vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin D. These antioxidants helps prevent oxidation of LDL cholesterol which if not taken care of can stick to and build up in blood vessel walls forming dangerous plaques leading to atherosclerosis, heart attacks or strokes.

Helps reduce inflammation

Pineapple is loaded with vitamin C and has anti-inflammatory properties, which serves as a natural home remedy for those suffering from arthritis.

Support bone health

Recent studies have shown that cherries help relieve the symptoms and pain caused in gout, arthritis and joint inflammation.

Keep Walking.....

The Organs of your body have their sensory
touches at the bottom of your foot,
if you massage these points you will find relief
from aches and pains
as you can see the heart is on the left foot.

Typically they are shown as points and arrows
to show which organ it connects to.

It is indeed correct since the nerves connected
to these organs terminate here.

This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies
or textbooks.

God created our body so well that he
thought of even this.
He made us walk so that we will always
be pressing these pressure points and thus
keeping these organs activated at all times.

So, keep walking....

Thanks Keralites.net.

Health Tips!

10 Important Health Tips!

Ten simple health tips that are recommended for anyone of any age, to deal with various health issues or just to boost your own natural well being!

Sip Oolong Tea

According to research, those suffering from mild eczema are advised to drink Oolong tea 3 times a day for impo

rement initching and other symptoms. The active ingredients in the tea are called polyphenols.

Go Herbal

If varicose veins are your problem, a good idea is trying horse chestnut, a herbal extract that studies have reveales will strengthen the veins and reduce swelling. It is also avialable in tropic

creams, although the effect is not as powerful.

Rub Your Temples

This is an old advice but few seem to follow it. Use some peppermint oil, tiger balm or white flower oil to rub your temples with gently but firmly, to prevent headaches or stop them before they become too painful.

Take Some Ginger

Ginger contains dynamic oils which make it a very handy herbal remedy for nasal and chest congestion problems. Best way to use: boil water and pour two cups of it over a 1 inch piece of peeled, grated ginger. This you steep for 10 minutes and strain. Then add a few pinches of cayenne pepper to the water and drink.

Get a Good Pair of Sneakers

When your energy is lagging, the worse you can do is drink coffee or an energy drink. You may not feel like it at first, but a brisk walk, or even a run, will do wonders to your energy levels, and the more you walk, the better you will start to feel. Remember, being a bit exhusted is very different than feeling tired, and it lets you maintain your good mental state. Get up from your work chair and walk up and down the office stairs for five minutes - you'll feel much refreshed!

Facts About The Earth

Do you love Biting others for Pleasure? Discover your EVIL Side

1. The Earth Is Not Round

No, no – I'm not a member of the Flat Earth Society. The Earth is a sphere, but due to its gravitational forces it is not a perfect circle. In fact, there is a bulge around the equator because of this. The Earth's Polar radius is 3,949.99 miles, while its Equatorial radius is 3,963.34 miles. That's right: the Earth has love handles.

2. The Name “Earth” Comes From Anglo-Saxons

Every other planet in our solar system is named after a Greek or Roman God, except our planet. The word Earth comes from the Anglo-Saxon word Erda, which means “ground” or “soil” and is thought to be 1,000 years old. Ironically, the planet is covered by 71% water -- the only planet we know of in the entire universe to have this precious fluid in liquid form.

3. There Are Not 24 Hours In a Day

People often claim there aren't enough hours in the day and they're right – not even 24. That's right, the actual time it takes the planet to rotate on its axis is 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds. This is what's called a sidereal day. The solar day, the time it takes for the sun to return to the same spot on the meridian, varies as much as 16 minutes throughout the year, due to the position in its orbit. (Don't ask us to explain how we figure out what time it is, we'll leave that to the nerds in the comments section.)

4. Earth Is The Only Planet With Plate Tectonics

Scientists believe the Earth is made up of 7 major plates of “crust,” which move in different directions up to 4 inches per year. When they crash into each other, the theory goes, mountains are born; where they pull apart we have valleys. On the scary side these also cause earthquakes and volcanoes. The good news is that all this activity allows for carbon -- essential to our very existence -- to be recycled and replenished, allowing life as we know it to continue

5. Earth Had a Twin Planet Called Theia

Scientists now believe that we were once not alone in our orbit around the Sun – we had a “twin” planet we call Theia, which was the size of Mars and was 60 degrees either in front or behind our Big Blue Ball. One afternoon about 4.533 billion years ago, Theia crashed into the Earth; most of the planet was absorbed, but a large chunk blew off and combined with materials from our planet to create the Moon. Why do we think this? It's because our Moon is unusually large for a planet of our size and has metallic isotopes similar to those on Earth.

6. The Mysterious Moon's (Almost) Perfect Orbit

Speaking of the Moon (and that is its official name) one thing is for sure: it is NOT made of cheese. Aside from that, there are some things we don't know. For example, the lunar center is 6,000 feet closer to the Earth, which should cause its orbit to be more wobbly/erratic, yet it is almost perfectly circular. The Moon is covered in a dust that strangely smells like gunpowder, even though they are completely different materials. Also, while there is no “dark side” of the moon, the Earth's gravitational force has caused the Moon to stop rotating so that only one side faces us. In addition, it's quite an incredible coincidence that the Sun happens to be both 400 times bigger than the Moon and also 400 times farther away from Earth, making them appear the same size in the night sky.

7. The Oceans are over 90% Unexplored

So we've (allegedly) been to the Moon and to Mars, but guess what? We have barely begun to visit the depth of our vast oceans. In fact, less than 10% of the deep blue seas have been explored. The ocean contains 97% of our water and 99% of the living area. While we have identified 212,906 marine species, there are possibly 25 million more that we DON'T know about. Suddenly, the Loch Ness Monster doesn't seem so far-fetched.

8. Coldest Temperature: -128.6 F

While the coldest place on Earth is Antarctica (-100 degrees F) the coldest spot was recorded on July 21, 1983 at Vostok Station in Russia, where sensors recorded –128.6 degrees F. (That's a cold summer!) The hottest spot recorded? On Sept. 13, 1922 El Azizia, Libya registered 136 degrees F.

9. Highest Point on Earth Is Not Mount Everest

True, it's one of the most famous mountains in the world, and at 29,035 ft. above sea level it's pretty darn tall. However, considering we now know that the Earth is not round (see #1), anyone or anything along the equator is slightly closer to the stars. This means that although Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is just 20,564 ft. above sea level, because it is on this “bump” it is technically further away from the Earth's center (i.e. “higher”) than Everest by 1.5 miles!
