DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the followingdiseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute

3.. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/ reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)
2. Gastric (10 days)
3. Diabetes (30 days)
4. Constipation (10 days)
5. Cancer (180 days)
6. TB (90 days)
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily..

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this'sludge'reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks:

· Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting,
· Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
· You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
· Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
· 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
· Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.






ALWAYS USE LEFT EAR WHEN USING MOBILES !!!!

Use only your LEFT EAR when using Mobile Phones, and avoid using the RIGHT EAR , as that makes our brain more prone to mobile radiation. This was found out by a latest research from Apollo Medical Team .

Bukti penemuan hasil kajian saintifik oleh Dr. Masaru Emoto seorang “pakar air” dari Jepun.


Penemuan oleh Dr Masaru Emoto ini sungguh menakjubkan. Beliau membuktikan bahawa susunan molekul-molekul air boleh berubah mengikut apa yang diucapkan ke atas air tersebut.
Ustaz Abdullah Mahmud yang pernah berceramah di Surau Wisma Telekom Semarak, pada tahun lepas pernah menceritakan penemuan ini. Beliau memaklumkan bahawa beliau telah mengikuti satu seminar yang disampaikan oleh seorang pakar air dari Jepun di Hotel Istana. Dalam seminar itu, mereka telah ditunjukkan melalui slaid, contoh-contoh air yang dilihat daripada mikroskop khas. Sumber air ini diambil daripada laut, sungai, empangan, perigi dan sebagainya. Ada pelbagai bentuk, daripada rupa cantik bercahaya seolah-olah seperti berlian hinggalah ke ‘hodoh dan mengerunkan” seperti rupa jin bertelinga besar, bertanduk dan sebagainya.


Suatu ketika, apabila ditunjukkan “rupa air yang cantik bercahaya,” molekulnya tersusun cantik, seperti berlian bersegi-segi, bersinar-sinar, berwarna-warni melebihi 12 warna, para hadirin telah disoal pakar air tersebut tentang asal usul sampel air itu. Salah seorang hadirin meneka, itu mungkin air Zam-Zam. Dan sememangnya telah disahkan benar oleh pakar air tersebut. Kemudian beberapa hadirin dipilih untuk membuat kajian. Di atas pentas, mereka dikehendaki membacakan sesuatu ke atas air mineral masing-masing. Lalu salah seorang hadirin dikehendaki menunjukkan hasil kajiannya. Apabila ditunjukkan di skrin kelihatan molekul air itu membentuk seolah-olah seperti tokong cina ( dengan janggut yang panjang dan perut buncit ).


Apabila tiba giliran Ustaz Abdullah, air tersebut dibacakan surah Al-Fatihah, Selawat dan ayat Kursi, maka apabila dipaparkan di skrin kelihatan molekulnya seperti berlian yang berkilau-kilau, cantik bercahaya. Kemudiannya beliau disuruh membaca sebarang ayat atau kata-kata yang tidak elok, maka ternampaklah di skrin molekul air itu berubah menjadi seperti sel-sel barah.
Banyak hadis dan ayat-ayat Quran, yang menceritakan fenomena ini. Air juga merupakan makhluk Allah yang bernyawa. Dengan keizinan daripada-Nya, ia mampu menyembuh dan memudaratkan seseorang, kerana dalam Islam ada kaedah-kaedah tertentu yang menggunakan air, untuk berikhtiar mengubati penyakit. Salah satu daripadanya mengunakan air penawar, atau dalam bahasa mudahnya air jampi. Seperti mana yang pernah diamalkan Rasulullah, dan diikuti oleh ulama-ulama Islam, para ustaz, para imam.


Gambar di atas antara contoh-contoh air yang dilihat daripada mikroskop khas, yang telah didedahkan dengan pelbagai situasi “suara dan kata-kata” seperti yang dibuktikan oleh Dr Masaru Emoto melalui kajiannya.

HIDDEN MESSAGES OF WATER by Dr. Masaru Emoto

Dr. Masaru Emoto studies the relationship between water, its environment and influences and the affects they have on each individual molecule.

Dr. Emoto writes that water is able to memorize and transport information. He demonstrates this by photographing frozen water crystals to reveal their changes to various chosen mediums including music, images, thoughts and words.

Dr. Emoto says, "The vibration of good words has a positive effect on our world whereas the vibration from negative words has the power to destroy." (Masaru Emoto, The Hidden Messages in Water, XXV)

The result are impressive. See for yourself...

“ThE MoTher oF aLL EviLs"

A Christian is asking why alcohol is emphatically prohibited in Islam?

Question:
When we ask the reason why alcohol is forbidden in Islam we are told that it robs us of our senses. But drinking a small cup of it every few months is not going to have any harmful effect, rather some scientists say that a little of it is good for the heart. So why is there this prohibition on drinking even a drop of it? Man has the sense to control his actions and to stop drinking before he becomes intoxicated, so why does Islam require Muslims to keep away from alcohol and pork in order for the religious commitment to be sound? Why not stop at pointing out their harmful effects and give people the choice?.


Praise be to ALLAH.

Answer:
Firstly: we welcome you to our site as a seeker of truth, and we ask ALLAH to make our answer clear and to show you, after you read it and think about it, the fairness, wisdom and perfection of Islamic sharee’ah, which will make you think for yourself and seek the truth and follow it.

Secondly: it is affirmed by our Islamic sharee’ah that it came to bring and increase good things, and to ward off and reduce harmful things. Whatever is beneficial or mostly beneficial is permissible (halaal) and whatever is harmful or mostly harmful is forbidden (haraam). Alcohol undoubtedly falls into the second category. ALLAH says (interpretation of the meaning):

“They ask you (O Muhammad) concerning alcoholic drink and gambling. Say: In them is a great sin, and (some) benefits for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit”

[al-Baqarah 2:219]

The harmful and evil effects of alcohol are well known to all people, to knowledgeable and ignorant alike. Among the harmful effects of alcohol is that which was mentioned by ALLAH (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al‑Ansaab (stone altars for sacrifices to idols, jinn, etc), and Al‑Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful.

91. Shaytaan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of ALLAH and from As‑Salaah (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?”

[al-Maa’idah 5:90-91]

In these two verses ALLAH emphatically forbids alcohol, when He mentions it in conjunction with Al‑Ansaab (stone altars for sacrifices to idols, jinn, etc), and Al‑Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision), which were symbols of shirk that were widespread in the Arabian peninsula before Islam, and He describes it as being the Shaytaan’s handiwork, which is immorality and evil. And ALLAH commands us to avoid it and describes that as being the means that leads to success. And He describes its spiritual harm as hindering man from carrying out the obligations and duties enjoined by sharee’ah, namely remembrance of Allaah (dhikr) and prayer.

Alcohol leads to many harmful things, and deserves to be called “the mother of all evils” – as it was described by our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who said: “Alcohol is the mother of all evils.” A hasan hadeeth quoted by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1854. And the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: “Alcohol is the mother of all evils, the greatest of major sins. Whoever drinks it may end up committing incest with his mother, his maternal aunt and his paternal aunt.” This hadeeth is hasan on the basis of corroborating evidence, as stated by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1853.

This is some of the evidence of the truthfulness of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). And what he spoke of has indeed come to pass. Have you not heard the news about that young man who came home drunk and committed incest with his mother after imbibing intoxicants? He threatened to kill himself if she did not do it, so she took pity on him and did what he wanted. Then when he came to his senses and realized what had happened, he killed himself.

Look at how things ended after he drank alcohol. He committed incest with his mother, then he killed himself. We ask ALLAH to keep us safe and sound.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica states that most cases of sexual assault against relatives such as sisters, mothers and daughters happen under the influence of alcohol.

With regard to those who say that drinking a little alcohol is good for the heart, the response to that is:

1 – Modern research has proven that what is said about the benefits of alcohol for the heart and that it dilates the arteries, is a serious mistake. Alcohol does not dilate the arteries that bring nutrition to the heart, as was thought in the past, rather it dilates the veins that lie beneath the skin, whilst at the same time constricting the arteries, because of the accumulation of fats and cholesterol in them. This contributes to blood clots in the heart and angina, especially when it is accompanied by smoking, which contributes to congestion and narrowing of the arteries.

Alcohol also affects the muscle of the heart itself, when it becomes poisoned and dysfunctional, especially after drinking beer that contains cobalt, as when the heart becomes inflamed as a result of exhaustion when burning alcohol.

2 – These supposed benefits to the heart may be attained by means of things other than alcohol, the sinfulness and harmful effects of which outweigh any good it may do or benefits it may bring.

3 – It has also been said that the benefits that alcohol is said to bring to the heart come from the fruits and other substances from which alcohol is made, such as grapes, apples, etc. Based on this, these benefits may be obtained from these foods in the forms in which Allaah has permitted them, without making alcohol from them.

4 – We should weigh up those benefits to the heart – if they are true – against the destructive effects that alcohol has on health, which you can find out about by consulting any medical reference work that speaks of addiction to alcohol and its destructive effects on man.

See for example: al-Idmaan al-Kuhooli by Dr Nabeel Subhi al-Taweel, published by Mu’sasat al-Risaalah, Beirut.

Abhaath wa A’maal al-Mu’tamar al-‘Aalami al-Thaalith wa’l-Raabi’ ‘an al-Tibb al-Islami, published in Kuwait, 1405 AH, 1407 AH.

Because some people in the past – like some of their counterparts nowadays – thought that wine had some benefits, Taariq ibn Suwayd al-Ja’fi – one of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) – came and asked him about alcohol, and he forbade it. He said: “We make it as a remedy”. He said: “It is not a remedy, rather it is a disease.” Narrated by Muslim. This is a sign that his Prophethood was true.

With regard to your saying that “Man has the sense to control his actions and to stop drinking before he becomes intoxicated”, this pays no attention to the ways of the accursed Shaytaan, who seeks to distance people from the Lord of the Worlds. It is also the words of one who does not know – or perhaps chooses to ignore – how a drinker’s relationship with alcohol begins until he becomes drunk or addicted.

The Shaytaan gradually leads a person from a little to a lot, from minor to major, from sin to kufr, as much as he can, step by step. This is what the Lord of the Worlds refers to in Soorat al-Noor, where He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaytaan (Satan). And whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaytaan (Satan), then, verily, he commands Al‑Fahsha’ [i.e. to commit indecency (illegal sexual intercourse)], and Al‑Munkar [disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; and to speak or to do what is forbidden in Islam)]. And had it not been for the Grace of ALLAH and His Mercy on you, not one of you would ever have been pure from sins. But ALLAH purifies (guides to Islam) whom He wills, and ALLAH is All‑Hearer, All‑Knower”

[al-Noor 24:21]

The poet also referred to this when he said:

“A glance, then a smile, then a greeting, then words, then an appointment, then a meeting.”

Although this is clear to everyone who understands how people are and how the Shaytaan gets to them, it is more obvious in the case of alcohol and those who drink it.

According to the eastern proverb, “In the beginning a man takes a cup of wine… then the first cup takes a second, then the cup of wine takes the man.”

The story begins with advice from a doctor or friend to have a cup of wine to increase the appetite, or to help one relax, or it starts by joining friends in a social gathering where cups of alcohol are being passed around, or as part of a meal offered, or whatever.

Then gradually physical and psychological bonds are formed to alcohol until it becomes part of a person’s life, and the drunkard becomes a slave to intoxication and to alcohol, and he seeks it as a sick person seeks medicine, as the poet said:

A cup that is drunk for pleasure, and a cup that is drunk as a remedy for the first.

In the first cup he may have found some benefit, without getting drunk, and some relaxation and pleasure without losing his mind, and the second likewise, but now he is longing for the cup of yesterday. When the body gets used to this alcoholic poison, it needs to increase the dose of alcohol time after time, in order to enjoy the relaxation and pleasure that it found in the first cup. Then the drunkard starts to drink more regularly, and his desire for alcohol grows stronger. The only guarantee against addiction is not to drink alcohol at all.

Hence we can see the wisdom of Islam in forbidding a little or a lot of alcohol, because a little is the first step towards a lot, and a little added to a little becomes a lot.

As the poet said: Do not think of a little as insignificant, because even the mountains are formed of small pebbles.

With regard to your asking: why does Islam require the Muslims to keep away from alcohol and pork in order for their religious commitment to be sound? Why does it not just explain how harmful they are and let people choose for themselves?

This is the flawed questioning of one who is trying to cheat himself. It is well known that people are not all the same in their levels of understanding of what is beneficial and what is harmful, and their levels of will power are not the same either, when it comes to choosing what is beneficial and avoiding what is harmful. The behaviour of individuals and societies cannot be controlled if things are left to each person’s choice.

If things are left to people’s choice then the harm that results from drinking alcohol is not limited only to the one who drinks, so that he could be left to his own devices and choose whatever he wants for himself. Rather the harmful results affect everyone. The diseases that result from alcohol weaken society as a whole. The productivity of the drunkard is decreased because of his drunkenness, which affects others. The economy is affected as a result of the money spent on treating him, which also affects others. Moreover there are crimes which result from this addiction. In a World Health Organization report on violent crimes in 30 countries, including the US and the UK, it says that 86% of murders and 50% of rapes are carried out under the influence of alcohol. There are many similar, well-known statistics on such topics in various countries around the world.

With regard to road accidents, the statistics are even more well-known. In 1965 – for example – there were 49,000 deaths on roads in the US, and 1,800,000 cases of permanent disability. Public health officials at the time estimated that half of these deaths were caused by alcohol. The losses resulting from these deaths in that year alone were valued at 8900 million dollars.

In Chile, in South America, 70% of traffic accidents in 1966 were caused by drunkenness. In Paris between 10 and 15 % of all accidents were found to have been caused by alcohol.

Moreover, we may respond to this question by asking:

Why don’t we explain how evil it is to steal and then leave people to make their own choice, with no force or punishment? The same could be said of killing and bribery… But then society would become a dangerous and barbaric place, governed by the law of the jungle.

This question itself may be directed against all the laws and systems which people follow in their lives.

The main reason why people deviate from the religion of ALLAH, which was revealed from heaven, and go against the laws that He has prescribed for His slaves, is this idea – the idea that people can be left with no commands to follow or prohibitions to heed, even though adhering to commands and prohibitions is what is meant by submission to ALLAH (‘uboodiyyah) in its simplest form. This is the pure right of the Creator because He is the Creator, and it is the primary duty of the created being, because he is created. The Lord of the Worlds says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Does man think that he will be left neglected (without being punished or rewarded for the obligatory duties enjoined by his Lord ALLAH on him)?”

[al-Qiyaamah 75:36].

i.e., does man think that his Lord will leave him alone, with no obligations or commands or prohibitions, then He will ignore him in his grave with no resurrection, no gathering, no reckoning? What then would be the point of servitude to the Lord of the Worlds, if there were no commands or prohibitions, no reward or punishment? How then would anyone enter Paradise?.

The fiery ball of radiation that climbs into the sky every morning can be just as good for your health as it is damaging. In fact, some experts now believe that the sun's rays provide more benefit than harm—provided you get the right dose.


Even dermatologists, who worry about the sun's ravaging effects on the skin in the form of cancer, age spots, and wrinkles, acknowledge that we could all use a little sun exposure. "Being out in the sun boosts our mood, improves sleep, and promotes vitamin D production," says James Spencer, associate clinical professor of dermatology at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York. "There's no controversy about that." Still, he emphasizes, the operative word is little when it comes to exposure. "The majority of people aren't putting on sunscreen every time they step outside, and that 5 or 10 minutes a day of casual exposure is probably all you need." Much attention has been paid to the benefits of vitamin D, which is manufactured when the sun's UV-B rays hit the skin and which protects against cancer, bone brittleness, heart disease, and a host of other ills. But there are other payoffs to a small daily dose of sunlight, including:

• Better sleep. Natural daylight helps shut off your body's production of melatonin, a hormone produced at night that makes you drowsy. This can help you maintain a normal circadian rhythm, so you're more likely to feel tired at bedtime when it's dark outside. Going outside for 15 minutes at the same time each day, preferably in the morning, gives your body a clear signal that it's no longer night. Also, forgo the sunglasses if possible, since this will enable sunlight to pass unhindered through your eyes to the brain's pineal gland, triggering the gland to stop releasing melatonin.

• Happier outlook. A type of depression called seasonal affective disorder affects some people during the winter when they don't get enough sunlight. Experts now believe that sunlight has widespread mood-elevating effects, possibly because the "happy" hormone serotonin increases when nights are short and days are long. In fact, psychiatrists often recommend that depressed individuals go outside in the sun for 30 minutes a day. Bonus: You can slather on all the sunscreen you want and still reap the mood benefit.

• Protection from autoimmune diseases. Exposure to UV radiation appears to suppress an overactive immune system, according to an April report published in Environmental Health Perspectives. This could explain why exposure to UV rays may help with autoimmune diseases like psoriasis and lupus; one recent study also suggests it might help alleviate asthma.

• Lessening of Alzheimer's symptoms. Elderly Alzheimer's patients exposed to bright lighting during the day—from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.—got better scores on a mental exam, had fewer symptoms of depression, and lost less function than did those exposed to dim daytime lighting, according to a study published this month in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The researchers attributed the improvement to more-regular circadian rhythms, which are thrown out of whack when advanced dementia sets in.

The Secret Of Dates.

The Secret Of Dates.

Rasulullah (SAW) gave special attention to dates as part of the Muslim’s diet, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. Allah Almighty mentioned palm trees many times in the Qur’an, and made its fruit the food of the dwellers of paradise.

So what are the secrets of this great nutriment? Is it possible to think of using dates as remedy for some diseases? What do scientists of today say about dates?

Dates are one of the most nourishing fruits and it is sometimes called the ‘bread of desert.’ More than two third of dates’ weight is natural sugar.

This fruit was highly esteemed by the ancient civilizations more than 5,000 years ago. Ancient Egyptians considered dates as a symbol of fertility, while the Romans and the Greeks used it to ornament their stately triumph pageants. Today, dates are widely grown in the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, Egypt, Iraq, Spain, Italy, the United States and in Africa. There are more than 600 varieties of dates.

Dates and the pre-birth period:

Dates stimulate the uterus by regulating and hastening its contractions to facilitate delivery. The uterus is a relatively large muscular organ and it urgently requires an adequate supply of natural sugar during labour and delivery.

Being a laxative, dates are essential for pregnant women before delivery in order to purge the colon and intestine and to facilitate delivery. As Allah tells Maryam (AS):

ÙˆَÙ‡ُزِّÙŠ Ø¥ِÙ„َÙŠْÙƒِ بِجِذْعِ النَّØ®ْÙ„َØ©ِ تُسَاقِØ·ْ عَÙ„َÙŠْÙƒِ رُØ·َبًا جَÙ†ِÙŠًّا

“And shake the trunk of the palm tree towards thee – thou wilt cause ripe dates to fall upon thee.” (Surah Maryam 19:25)

Nutriment and medicine for children:

Dates contain natural sugar which is easily absorbed and digested. Thus, it is safe and comforting for children’s stomach and intestine. And date juice is useful especially if we mix it with milk – it becomes a very nourishing and restorative drink for children and adults.

Dates and honey paste, taken three times a day, is used for the treatment of diarrhoea and Dysentery in children,

This paste also comforts and hardens the gums during teething and it facilitates the process.

Treatment for obesity:

The wide variety of nutritious elements in dates makes it hunger resistive. The cause behind obesity is a persisting feeling of hunger and an appetite for food which drives a person to consume larger amounts of fats and sugar when he eat his meal. So, treatment by eating a few dates when feeling hungry helps reduce hunger and be filled. These dates provide the body with the necessary sugar and stimulate the intestine, which reduce hunger greatly, and eventually, reduce food consumption. Rasulullah (SAW) saying shows this: “A household that has dates doesn’t feel hunger.” (Muslim)

Dates are suitable for reducing weight as it contains only 0.25 gm of fat. This prophetic meal also regulates and stimulates the bowels with the 10 gm of dietary fibre it contains.

Remedy for liver and other inflammations:

Dates remedy the liver and purge it from toxins. Breaking the fast with dates is one of the most magnificent of natural remedies for the maintenance and purging the liver from accumulated toxins. Drinking dates’ juice helps the treatment of sore throat, various types of fever, and common cold.

Having high medicinal and nutritious value, dates are expected to be the best food for the future. Dates contain as high a percentage as 88 percent of carbohydrate (starch), (2.5-5 percent) of fat,(2.3-5.6 percent) of Protein and (6.4-11.5 percent) of vitamins and dietary fibre. The flesh contains (0.2-5 percent) of oil, whereas the seed’s weight is (7.7 -9.7 percent) oil. The weight of the seed is (6.6 – 14.2 percent) of the date’s weight.

Dates contain Vitamins A, B1 and B2, and fluorine which prevent teeth decay. Other minerals found in various proportions in dates include boron, calcium, cobalt, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, phosphorous, sodium and zinc.

Additionally, the seeds contain aluminium, cadmium, chloride, lead and sulphur in various proportions. Selenium, element believed to help prevent cancer and important in immune function, is also found in dates.

If you are feeling weak, don’t hesitate to take seven dates (70 gm) in the morning as Rasulullah (SAW) recommended. You will actually be taking 70 milligrams of calcium, which is very useful for the bones, joints and nerves, 35 milligrams of phosphorus, which is nutritious for the brain, and 7 milligrams of iron, which strengthens the body in general and the heart in particular.

Dates are very rich with sugary energy and so the body is supplied with the most important nutrients which is sugar that is irreplaceable as a nutrient for the brain cells and nerves.

Dates protect the fasting person from having constipation as a result of changing meals times or as a result of having low fibre amounts in meals.

The alkaline salts in dates adjust the acidity of blood which result from excessiveness eating of meat and carbohydrates which causes a lot of hereditary diseases as diabetes, gout, renal stones, gall bladder inflammations, high blood pressure and haemorrhoids).

why dates????

Dates are a staple fruit of the Middle East having been in cultivation for thousands of years. Traditionally, dates are known as the food Muhammad ate when he broke from his fast.

During the period of Ramadan, when fasting lasts from sunrise to sunset, the body can develop mild health problems such as headaches, low blood sugar, and lethargy. To avoid such problems, one should carefully monitor their eating habits once fasting for the day has ended. Dates are an excellent source of fiber, sugar, magnesium, potassium, and have carbohydrates which will aid the body in maintaining health. The carbohydrates found in dates also make the fruit a slower digesting food, much better than fried or fatty foods which digest fast and leave one hungry for more!

Boost Your Brain Power with These Super Foods


Now that school is starting back up, it’s time to give your brain everything it needs to stay sharp and attentive in class.

So here are 5 foods to help you improve your memory and supercharge your brain:

Fish
Fish is not only high in good protein, but also filled with essential vitamins and minerals for your brain; including: phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins A and D. And fish oil is a great source of Omega-3 fat, which can improve your brain’s chemistry and development. We recommend: tuna, sardine, anchovy, salmon and bluefish.

Blueberries
The Journal of Neuroscience published some research from Tufts University that suggested that blueberries can improve memory loss. Blueberries are also filled with antioxidants and have been reported to inhibit colon cancer and Ovarian cancer.

Wholegrain Foods
Wholegrain foods are a great way to get folic acid and B vitamins into your body. You see, B vitamins like Thiamine, Pantothenic Acid, and Pridoxine have been shown to reduce memory loss. If you’re not eating enough wholegrain foods, we recommend taking a good B vitamin that has B1, B5, B6, and B12.

Pumpkin Seeds
Buy a bag of roasted pumpkin seeds and chew on them throughout the day. Pumpkin seeds are filled with zinc, which has been known to help improve thinking skills.

Broccoli
Broccoli is filled with vitamin K, and can help improve your brain chemistry and overall brainpower.

Eating all the right foods won’t guarantee that you’re brain is at its best performance. You need to balance healthy eating along with good sleep, cardiovascular activity, and plenty of water.




‎"You're not sick; you're thirsty. Don't treat thirst with medication."

Dr. F. Batmanghelidj

Our life, our planet. Over 70% of the earth's surface is water. However, most of it—98%--is salt water. Only 2% of the earth's H20 is fresh water that we can drink, and of this, almost all is trapped in frozen glaciers.
You are not just what you eat; you are what you drink.
This is why water is so important to your health.
No miracles. Just common sense backed by Dr. F. Batmaghelidj’s years of research and investigation into why water works so well in keeping us healthy and pain free. It can even cure illness in some people who get sick.
Water is the basis of all life and that includes your body. Your muscles that move your body are 75% water; your blood that transport nutrients is 82% water; your lungs that provide your oxygen are 90% water; your brain that is the control center of your body is 76% water; even your bones are 25% water.
Our health is truly dependent on the quality and quantity of the water we drink.
Dr. B's pioneering work shows that Unintentional Chronic Dehydration (UCD) contributes to and even produces pain and many degenerative diseases that can be prevented and treated by increasing water intake on a regular basis.
If you are committed to a healthy lifestyle, make drinking enough natural water a habit in your life. It won't take long for you to feel the benefit.
It is a free investment for your long-term health.

Look at your food





CARROTS EYES
CARROT – EYES
SLICE a carrot and it looks just like an eye, right down to the pattern of the iris. Its a clear clue to the importance this everyday veg has for vision. Carrots get their orange colour from a plant chemical called betacarotene, which reduces the risk of developing cataracts. The chemical also protects against macular degeneration an age-related sight problem that affects one in four over-65s. It is the most common cause of blindness in Britain. But popping a betacarotene pill doesnt have the same effect, say scientists at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore
WALNUT BRAIN
THE gnarled folds of a walnut mimic the appearance of a human brain – and provide a clue to the benefits. Walnuts are the only nuts which contain significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. They may also help head off dementia. An American study found that walnut extract broke down the protein-based plaques associated with Alzheimers disease. Researchers at Tufts University in Boston found walnuts reversed some signs of brain ageing in rats. Dr James Joseph, who headed the study, said walnuts also appear to enhance signalling within the brain and encourage new messaging links between brain cells.
TOMATO HEART
A TOMATO is red and usually has four chambers, just like our heart. Tomatoes are also a great source of lycopene, a plant chemical that reduces the risk of heart disease and several cancers. The Womens Health Study ” an American research programme which tracks the health of 40,000 women ” found women with the highest blood levels of lycopene had 30 per cent less heart disease than women who had very little lycopene. Lab experiments have also shown that lycopene helps counter the effect of unhealthy LDL cholesterol. One Canadian study, published in the journal Experimental Biology and Medicine, said there was Ã…“convincing vidence that lycopene prevented coronary heart disease.
GRAPES LUNGS
OUR lungs are made up of branches of ever-smaller airways that finish up with tiny bunches of tissue called alveoli. These structures, which resemble bunches of grapes, allow oxygen to pass from the lungs to the blood stream. One reason that very premature babies struggle to survive is that these alveoli do not begin to form until week 23 or 24 of pregnancy. A diet high in fresh fruit, such as grapes, has been shown to reduce the risk of lung cancer and emphysema. Grape seeds also contain a chemical called proanthocyanidin, which appears to reduce the severity of asthma triggered by allergy.
CHEESE BONES
A nice ˜holey cheese, like Emmenthal, is not just good for your bones, it even resembles their internal structure. And like most cheeses, it is a rich source of calcium, a vital ingredient for strong bones and reducing the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Together with another mineral called phosphate, it provides the main strength in bones but also helps to ˜power muscles. Getting enough calcium in the diet during childhood is crucial for strong bones. A study at Columbia University in New York showed teens who increased calcium intake from 800mg a day to 1200mg equal to an extra two slices of cheddar – boosted their bone density by six per cent.
GINGER STOMACH


Root ginger, commonly sold in supermarkets, often looks just like the stomach. So its interesting that one of its biggest benefits is aiding digestion. The Chinese have been using it for over 2,000 years to calm the stomach and cure nausea, while it is also a popular remedy for motion sickness. But the benefits could go much further.
Tests on mice at the University of Minnesota found injecting the chemical that gives ginger its flavour slowed down the growth rate of bowel tumours. GINGER STOMACH
BANANA (SMILE) DEPRESSION
Cheer yourself up and put a smile on your face by eating a banana. The popular fruit contains a protein called tryptophan. Once it has been digested, tryptophan then gets converted in a chemical neurotransmitter called serotonin. This is one of the most important mood-regulating chemicals in the brain and most anti-depressant drugs work by adjusting levels of serotonin production. Higher levels are associated with better moods.
MUSHROOM EAR
Slice a mushroom in half and it resembles the shape of the human ear. And guess what? Adding it to your cooking could actually improve your hearing. Thats because mushrooms are one of the few foods in our diet that contain vitamin D. This particular vitamin is important for healthy bones, even the tiny ones in the ear that transmit sound to the brain.
BEANSPROUTS - SPERM
The stir-fry favourite bears an uncanny resemblance to the images we see of ‘swimming’ sperm trying to fertilise an egg. And research from the US suggests they could play an important part in boosting male fertility. A study at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio showed that to make healthy sperm in large quantities, the body needs a good supply of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that protects cells against damage by harmful molecules called free radicals. Just half a cup of bean sprouts provides 16 per cent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C for a man. It’s not just dad but baby too who could benefit. Bean sprouts are packed with folate, a vitamin that prevents neural tube defects, where the baby is born with a damaged brain or spine. 
BROCCOLI CANCER
Close-up, the tiny green tips on a broccoli head look like hundreds of cancer cells. Now scientists know this disease-busting veg can play a crucial role in preventing the disease. Last year, a team of researchers at the US National Cancer Institute found just a weekly serving of broccoli was enough to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 45 per cent. In Britain, prostate cancer kills one man every hour.




Correct Way of Eating Fruits


What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! - FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

If you eat fruit on an empty stomach, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD - Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit.. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid.. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining - every time I eat water-melon I burp, when I eat durian (fruit from Asia with a foul smell yet delicious flavor) my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet etc. - actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes - all these will not happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans.. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste.
Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.

You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange..

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoid which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

 ORANGE: Sweetest medicine, eating 2 to 4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

 WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene - the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.
  
GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Medical Benefits of Drinking Water On Empty Stomach.



DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH:

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately
after waking up every morning. Furthermore,
scientific tests have proven  its value. We publish
below a description of use of water for our readers.
For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses
the water treatment had been found successful
by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure
for the following diseases: 
Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat,
epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis,
kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea,
piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb,
cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases. 

 METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth,
drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water

2. Brush and clean the mouth but
do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal. 

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner
do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 
4 glasses of water at the beginning 
may commence by taking little water
and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day. 
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases 
of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life. 

 The following list gives the number of days of treatment 
required to cure/control/ reduce main diseases:
  
1. High Blood Pressure (30 days) 
2. Gastric (10 days) 
3. Diabetes (30 days) 
4. Constipation (10 days) 
5. Cancer (180 days)6. TB (90 days) 
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only
for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards daily.

 This treatment method has no side effects, 
however at the commencement of treatment 
you may have to urinate a few times.

It is better if we continue this and make this procedure 
as a routine work in our life. Drink Water 
and Stay healthy and Active.

This makes sense..
The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals..
not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit
while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
  
For those who like to drink cold water, 
this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. 
However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff
that you have just consumed.. It will slow down the digestion.

 Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down
 and be absorbed by the intestine faster 
than the solid food. It will line the intestine. 
  
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.
It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

 A serious note about heart attacks: 
  
Women should know that not every heart attack symptom
is going to be the left arm hurting,

 Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.


 You may never have the first chest pain
during the course of a heart attack.
  
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
  
60% of people who have a heart attack while
they are asleep do not wake up.

 Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep.
Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know,
the better chance we could survive...

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it
to everyone they know, you can be sure that 
we'll save at least one life.

Soft drinks**** killing YOU ****Softly


An interesting piece of information....... 


Have a look at the wrapper on a 
Coca-Cola 1.5 liter bottle and in the 
 ingredients label you will find 
 phosphoric acid in it. Minute 
 quantities of ethylene glycol are also used 
 (which is acknowledged 
 in the soft drink world for making it really chill). 

  This is popularly known as anti-freeze which prevents water from 
 freezing at 0 deg C and instead drops it 4-5 degrees with minute 
 quantities. This chemical is a known slow poison in the caliber of arsenic.

 So, if you manage to drink about 4 liters of Coke within an hour or 
 so, you can die. 

 Read along and give up these dangerous things. 
  
Be natural; have flavored milks, tender coconuts, buttermilk, lassi and 
 plain water instead of these "soft" drinks. 
  
Guess what's the pH for soft 
 drinks, e.g. Coke? PH 3.4! 

 This acidity is strong enough to dissolve 
teeth and bones! 

 Our human body stops building bones at the age of about 
 30. Softdrinks do not have any nutrition value (in terms of vitamins & 
 minerals). It is high in sugar content, carbonic acid, chemicals i.e. colorings 
 etc. 

 Some like to take cold soft drinks after each meal. Guess what's 
 the impact? Our body needs an optimum temperature of 37 degrees Celsius 
 for digestive enzyme functioning. The temperature of cold soft drinks is 
 very much below 37 degrees or even close to 0 degrees Celsius. This will dilute 
 the enzymes & stress the digestive system. The food taken will not be 
 digested. In fact it will be fermented! The fermented food produces gases, 
 decays and becomes toxin, gets absorbed by the intestine, circulates in the 
 blood stream and is carried to the whole body. Hence toxin is cumulated in other 
 parts of the body, developing into various diseases. 

 Think before you 
 drink Coke/Pepsi (or any soft drink) again. 

 Have you ever thought what 
 you drink when you drink an aerated drink? 
  
You gulp down carbon dioxide, 
 when nobody in the world would advise you to drink CO2. Two months back, there 
 was a competition at Delhi 
 University "Who could drink the most Coke?" The 
 winner drank 8 bottles and fainted on the spot-too much CO2 in the blood. 


Thereafter, the principal banned all soft drinks from the college canteen! 
  
While this might have been an extreme measure, their results do 
 provide some food for thought. Did you know that soft drinks use chemicals 
 in them that cause immense harm to you. Someone put a broken tooth in a 
 bottle of Pepsi and in 10 days it DISSOLVED! Can you believe it? Teeth and 
 bones are the only human parts that stay intact for years after death. Imagine 
 what the drink must be doing to your soft intestines and stomach 
 lining!



The top five cancer-causing foods



Live Life Without Limits!
The top five cancer-causing foods are:

1. Hot dogs Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate. 

2. Processed meats and baconAlso high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer. 

 3. Doughnuts Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer. 

4. French fries Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams . 

5. Chips, crackers, and cookies All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats. 

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS 

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 

 ----------- --------- --------- ------------ --------- --------- ------------ --------- --------- -

The main causes of liver damage are: 

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause. 

2. Not urinating in the morning. 
3. Too much eating. 
4. Skipping breakfast. 
5. Consuming too much medication. 
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener. 
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit. 

8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. 
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store. 

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to 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.'

Regular Health Mistakes...



All of us make little health mistakes that cause damage to our bodies in 
the long run - simply because we are unaware we are doing something wrong. 
Here are some of the most common mistakes made by many of us.


Crossing our legs:


Do you cross your legs at your knees when sitting? Although we may believe 
that this is the lady-like elegant way to sit, sitting this way cuts down circulation 
to your legs. If you don"t want varicose veins to mar the beauty of your legs 
and compromise your health, uncross your legs every time you realise you have 
one knee on top of the other. The best way to sit is to simply place both legs 
together on the floor, balancing your weight equally. If you feel like changing 
position, instead of crossing your legs, simply move both legs together to 
one side. As an alternative, you could also consider crossing your legs loosely 
at the ankles. This is a classically elegant way to sit, and is far better for your legs 
and your health than sitting with your legs crossed at your knees.


Not changing our toothbrush:


How often do you change your toothbrush? Most of us wait until most of 
the bristles have either fallen off, or are in such bad shape that we"d be 
embarrassed to pull out our brush in public. However, since not many of us 
need to pull out our brush in public, we carry on with our frayed one until
 we lose it. Replace your toothbrush often. Damaged bristles can harm 
the enamel, and don"t massage your gums well. If you find brushing your teeth 
a pain like I do, but know you must do it, you might as well be doing it right. 
Imagine going through the annoyance of brushing your teeth twice a day only 
to find out that you"re damaging your enamel every time you clean your teeth. 
Also, use a brush with soft bristles unless your dentist has advised otherwise.

Eating out often:
There are oils that are high in cholesterol, and oils that cause little harm and 
are better for your heart. However, no matter how light the oil is, it is never 
a good idea to eat too much of it. Avoid fried foods.Remember that in all 
probability your favourite Indian food restaurant throws a huge, HUGE 
chunk of butter in a tiny bowl of dal. Rita, who worked in the kitchen of 
a 5 star hotel, was shocked when she saw the cook chop a 500gm butter 
slab in half, and throw half into a Paneer Makhani dish. No wonder 
the customers left licking their fingers. And no wonder they felt so stuffed 
and heavy afterwards. Limit outdoor eating unless you know that you"re 
getting served light and healthy food.

Skipping breakfast:
Never, ever skip breakfast. Remember, when you wake up in the morning 
it"s been around 10-12 hours since your last meal. Your body needs food now, 
more than at any other time. Eat a heavy breakfast. You will then be busy 
through the day, and the calories will get expended quickly. If you are trying 
to diet, eat a light dinner. Here are some more common health mistakes we make. 
Being informed and making a few changes can help make us feel a whole lot better.


High heels:
High heels sure look great, but they're murder for your back. This however doesn't 
mean you should steer clear of stilettos. Wear them, but not when you know you will
 be walking around a lot. Wear them when going out for lunch or dinner - when the 
only walking you will be doing is to your car, to the table, and back. Avoid high heels 
when you are going somewhere on foot. If you are constantly tempted to wear your 
heels, take a good look at your flats. Is there something about them you dislike? 
Invest in a new pair of beautiful flats or shoes with a low heel. Buy something you love, 
that you will enjoy wearing. If possible, get a matching bag. You will then enjoy your flats 
as much as you do your heels.

Sleeping on a soft bed:
You don't have to sleep on the floor be kind to your back, but do make sure 
you have a firm mattress. Although a mattress on springs is soft and lovely to sink into, 
it's bad for your back. If you already have an old bed with springs, you don't need to 
invest in a new one - simply get a thick wooden plank put over the springs, and place 
the mattress on the plank. Similarly, if your mattress is old and lumpy, throw it out and 
get a new one. Your neck and your back will thank you. The same rule applies to sofas. 
If you will be spending hours on a sofa, get a firm yet comfortable one. Sofas you 
completely sink into are not the best idea.

Pillows:
No matter how comfortable sleeping with ten cushions is, have pity on your neck 
and resist. Sleep with one pillow, and make sure it is not too thick. If your pillow 
gets lumpy, discard it and go for a new one. Get a thin pillow if you sleep on 
your stomach, and something a little thicker if you sleep on your back,
 to give your neck adequate support

 Not exercising:
So all of us know we should exercise more, but many of us don't. 
This is a health mistake we consciously make! And why is that? 
Simply because we refuse to admit the damage we are causing to 
our bodies by not working out. A number of people only start working out 
once they've experienced a warning signal. Don't wait for a heart attack to 
strike before you decide to opt for a lifestyle change. Make the change now. 
You don't need to train for the marathon to be in top shape. Half an hour of 
brisk walking three to four times a week will make a world of difference to 
your health. You could then increase this to forty minutes, four times a week - and
you're all set. If you haven't exercised for a week, you're making a mistake. 



12 Possible Heart Attack Symptoms

DON'T MISS THESE 12 POSSIBLE WARNING SIGNS THAT 
SOMETHING IS AMISS WITH YOUR HEART.




Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of U.S. men and women, 
accounting for 40% of all U.S. deaths. That's more than 
all forms of cancer combined.


Why is heart disease so deadly? One reason is that 


many people are slow to seek help when symptoms arise. 
Yes, someone gripped by sudden chest pain probably knows 
to call 911. But heart symptoms aren't always intense or obvious, 
and they vary from person to person and according to gender.


Because it can be hard to make sense of heart symptoms, 


doctors warn against ignoring possible warning signs, 
toughing them out, waiting to see if they go away, or 
being quick to blame them on heartburn, muscle soreness, 
or other less serious, noncardiac causes. That's especially true 
for men and people over 65, as well as for people with 
other cardiac risk factors, such as high cholesterol or 
blood pressure, obesity, smoking, diabetes, or a family history 
of heart disease.


"The more risk factors you have, the higher the likelihood 


that a symptom means something is going on with your heart," 
says David Frid, MD, a cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic. 
"People often don't want to admit that they're old enough or sick 
enough to have heart trouble. Putting off treatment for other 
medical problems might not be so bad, but a serious heart problem 
can mean sudden death. It's better to go in and get it evaluated 
than to be dead."
12 Possible Heart Symptoms Never to Ignore
Here are a dozen symptoms that may signal heart trouble.




1. Anxiety. Heart attack can cause intense anxiety or 
a fear of death. Heart attack survivors often talk 
about having experienced a sense of "impending doom."



2. Chest discomfort. Pain in the chest is the classic symptom 
of heart attack, and "the No. 1 symptom that we typically 
look for," says Jean C. McSweeney, PhD, RN, associate dean 
for research at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences 
College of Nursing in Little Rock and a pioneer in research 
on heart symptoms in women. But not all heart attacks 
cause chest pain, and chest pain can stem from ailments 
that have nothing to do with the heart.



Heart-related chest pain is often centered under the 
breastbone, perhaps a little to the left of center. The pain has 
been likened to "an elephant sitting on the chest," but it 
can also be an uncomfortable sensation of pressure, squeezing, 
or fullness. "It's not unusual for women to describe the pain 
as a minor ache," McSweeney says. "Some women say the 
pain wasn't bad enough even to take a Tylenol."
Women, more so than men, can also experience a burning 
sensation in their chest, rather than a pressure or pain.  
"Sometimes people make the mistake that the pain comes 
from a stomach problem," says Nieca Goldberg, MD, 
clinical associate professor of medicine at the NYU 
Langone Medical Center in New York City and another expert 
on women's heart symptoms. 



3. Cough. Persistent coughing or wheezing can be a symptom 
of heart failure -- a result of fluid accumulation in the lungs. 
In some cases, people with heart failure cough up bloody phlegm.



4. Dizziness. Heart attacks can cause lightheadedness and 
loss of consciousness.  So can potentially dangerous heart 
rhythm abnormalities known as arrhythmias.



5. Fatigue. Especially among women, unusual fatigue can occur 
during a heart attack as well as in the days and weeks leading 
up to one. And feeling tired all the time may be a symptom of 
heart failure. Of course, you can also feel tired or fatigued 
for other reasons. How can you tell heart-related fatigue from 
other types of fatigue? "If you don't feel well and all the wind 
is knocked out of your sails, don't try to figure it out 
on the Internet or from a book," says Goldberg.  "Wasting time 
is dangerous."




6. Nausea or lack of appetite. It's not uncommon for people to 
feel sick to their stomach or throw up during a heart attack. 
And abdominal swelling associated with heart failure 
can interfere with appetite.




7. Pain in other parts of the body. In many heart attacks, 
pain begins in the chest and spreads to the shoulders, arms, 
elbows, back, neck, jaw, or abdomen. But sometimes 
there is no chest pain -- just pain in these other body areas.  
The pain might come and go.

Men having a heart attack often feel pain in the left arm. 
In women, the pain is more likely to be felt in both arms, 
or between the shoulder blades.



8. Rapid or irregular pulse. Doctors say that there's nothing 
worrisome about an occasional skipped heartbeat. But a rapid 
or irregular pulse -- especially when accompanied by weakness, 
dizziness, or shortness of breath -- can be evidence of a 
heart attack, heart failure, or an arrhythmia. Left untreated, 
some arrhythmias can lead to stroke, heart failure, or sudden death



9. Shortness of breath. People who feel winded at rest or 
with minimal exertion might have a pulmonary condition 
like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 
But breathlessness could also indicate a heart attack or heart failure.
"Sometimes people having a heart attack don't have chest pressure 
or pain but feel extremely short of breath," Goldberg says.



"It's like they've just run a marathon when they haven't even moved." 
During a heart attack, shortness of breath often accompanies chest 
discomfort, but it can also occur before or without chest discomfort.



10. Sweating. Breaking out in a cold sweat is a common symptom 
of heart attack. "You might just be sitting in a chair when all 
of a sudden you are really sweating like you had just worked out," 
Frid says.



11. Swelling. Heart failure can cause fluid to accumulate in the body. 
This can cause swelling (often in the feet, ankles, legs, or abdomen) 
as well as sudden weight gain and sometimes a loss of appetite.



12. Weakness. In the days leading up to a heart attack, as 
well as during one, some people experience severe, unexplained 
weakness. "One woman told me it felt like she couldn't hold 
a piece of paper between her fingers," 





Panadol



Another reminder about panadol...... 
Sharing as recd...............

PANADOL My husband was working in a hospital as an IT engineer, as the hospital is planning to set up a database of its patients and he knows some of the doctors quite well. 


The doctors used to tell him that whenever they have a headache, they are not willing to take PANADOL / PARACETAMOL. In fact, they will turn Herbal Medicine or find other alternatives. This is because Panadol is toxic to the body, and it harms the liver. 

According to the doctor, Panadol will remain in the body for at least 5 years. And according to the doctor, there was an air-hostess who consumed lots of Panadol as she needed to stand all the time and work under lots of pressure. She's now in her early 30's, and she is undergoing kidney cleaning (DIALYSIS) every month. Whenever we have a headache, that's because it is due to the electron / Ion imbalance in the brain. 

Some alternative solution to cope with this matter is Drink lots of water. Another method will be to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water so that it brings the blood pressure down from your throbbing head. As Panadol is a pain killer, the more Panadol you take, the lesser would be your threshold for pain (your endurance level for pain). We all will fall ill as we age. 

Imagine that we had spent our entire life popping quite a substantial amount of Panadol (Pain Killer), when you need to have a surgery or operation, you will need a much more amount of general anaesthesia. If you have a very high intake of Panadol throughout your life (Migraine, Menstrual cramps ) it is very likely that normal general anesthetics will have no effects on you as your body is pumped / full with Panadol and your body is so used to pain killer that you would need a much stronger pain killer, Morphine???? 

The thought is scary enough to turn me to Herbal Medicine or other healthier alternative. Value your health, value your life, THINK TWICE before you easily pop that familiar pill into your mouth again. Please don't take PANADOL always and try to send his e-mail to people you care.
