23 Additional Uses for Toothpaste


The more I learn about the nature of things, the more I realize that there is no one specific function for materials. Everything we use in our daily lives can still be put to many other uses. Take toothpaste, for example. We only use it to clean our teeth, but in reality, it can do so much more. For example...

5 surprising benefits of walking


1. It counteracts the effects of weight-promoting genes.
Harvard researchers looked at 32 obesity-promoting genes in over 12,000 people to determine how much these genes actually contribute to body weight. They then discovered that, among the study participants who walked briskly for about an hour a day, the effects of those genes were cut in half.

2. It helps tame a sweet tooth.
A pair of studies from the University of Exeter found that a 15-minute walk can curb cravings for chocolate and even reduce the amount of chocolate you eat in stressful situations. And the latest research confirms that walking can reduce cravings and intake of a variety of sugary snacks.

3. It reduces the risk of developing breast cancer.
Researchers already know that any kind of physical activity blunts the risk of breast cancer. But an American Cancer Society study that zeroed in on walking found that women who walked seven or more hours a week had a 14% lower risk of breast cancer than those who walked three hours or fewer per week. And walking provided this protection even for the women with breast cancer risk factors, such as being overweight or using supplemental hormones.

4. It eases joint pain.
Several studies have found that walking reduces arthritis-related pain, and that walking five to six miles a week can even prevent arthritis from forming in the first place. Walking protects the joints — especially the knees and hips, which are most susceptible to osteoarthritis — by lubricating them and strengthening the muscles that support them.


5. It boosts immune function.
Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.

14 Unusual Uses for Garlic



Pungent and powerful garlic has dozens of health and household uses - some of which may seem pretty unusual. While garlic is an important ally for natural health (you may be familiar with the fact that garlic has the ability to increase immunity, banish colds and is a recognized broad-spectrum antibiotic), its functions extend beyond these common uses. Check out these 14 unusual and strange alternative uses for garlic.






1. A Great Aid for Athlete's Foot


Being a potent, natural antifungal, garlic is ideal for treating fungal infections irritating and itchy athlete's foot. Just add a couple of crushed garlic cloves to warm water in a foot bath and soak the affected area for 30 minutes.


2. Helps in Preventing Gas


While for some, garlic causes uncomfortable stomach-distending gas, due to its high sulfur content, for others it can reportedly ease it. In order to maintain intestinal health though, you would need to consume it on a regular basis. Garlic can kill harmful intestinal bacteria, promoting the growth of beneficial flora, making digestion smoother.


3. Combats Hair Loss


Before resorting to a more drastic measure, if you are going bald, give garlic a shot. It is believed that massaging the scalp with garlic oil stimulates hair growth.





4. Apply it to Breakouts of Acne


Though it will make your skin smell, the antibacterial properties of garlic will help lessen the appearance of acne, including those deep acne cysts that can otherwise be difficult to treat. Just slice open a clove of raw, fresh garlic and apply it to breakouts.


5. Aids in Weight Loss


Though you cannot count on garlic to help you lose a lot of weight, research shows that garlic has potential for aiding weight loss. Compounds found in garlic send signals of satiety to your brain, which will actually help you to feel full faster. It also boosts metabolic function, enabling you to burn more calories.


6. Use it as a Natural Pesticide


An all-natural garlic pesticide spray can be used to ward off pests whiteflies, aphids, cabbage loppers and squash bugs. All you need to do is mince three garlic cloves and let them sit in two tablespoons of mineral oil for 24 hours. Then, strain out the garlic and add the oil, along with a teaspoon of liquid dish soap, to a pint of water in a spray bottle and spray on infested plants.


7. Use it to Repel Mosquitoes


You need not use DEET and other potentially toxic chemicals to ward off mosquitoes, garlic can work wonders. To prepare a mosquito spray, let a few minced cloves of garlic infuse in an ounce of mineral oil for 24 hours. Strain and mix the garlic scented oil with two cups of water and one teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. If necessary, strain again and pour into a spray bottle.




8. Use it as a Natural Adhesive to Repair Glass


Though it may not work on major jobs, garlic juice can be used to fill in hairline cracks in glass and hold them together. Simply crush a clove of garlic and rub its sticky, viscous juice in the cracks and wipe away the excess.


9. Kills Bacteria that Causes Ear Infections


This common folk remedy has been used for centuries. Simply crush a clove of garlic and place it in a teaspoon of hot olive oil for five minutes. Strain, allow to cool and drip a few drops at a time into your ear canal. Alternatively, you can purchase garlic oil from natural health food stores.


10. Helps Remove Splinters


Splinters are painful to remove and may at times dig a little too deep into the skin to pull out, but this odd trick can really work. Place a thin slice over the splinter, keeping it on with a bandage. The garlic should help the splinter work its way out of the skin within hours.


11. Use it to Relieve Psoriasis


Garlic's anti-inflammatory properties could ease or even prevent persistent tightness and itching of psoriasis. Active compounds in garlic interact with arachidonic acid, an omega fatty acid in the skin linked to psoriasis. You may also rub garlic oil on the affected areas once or twice per day.




12. Use it as a Cough Syrup


Garlic can be used as a cough syrup to ease inflammation in the throat and clear up excess mucus. Add raw, minced garlic in hot water, straining it after five minutes and drinking the liquid as tea. To make it more palatable, add ginger and honey.


13. Garlic makes for a Fantastic Road De-icer


Come winter, many towns de-ice their roads. Ankeny, Iowa smelled awfully savory in 2008 when winter transportation crews spread garlic salt on the streets in advance of snowstorms. The salt, donated by a local spice producer, was apparently deemed unfit for human consumption.


14. Kills Intestinal Parasites


Many alternative health practitioners advise using raw garlic to expel intestinal parasites. Consumed in quantities of about three cloves per day may help clear nasty organisms out of the digestive tract. It is recommended as part of a cleansing diet that also includes raw honey, lemon juice, pumpkin seeds, carrots and beets.

Live Like Water

Live Like Water - Like with Grace, Ease and Determination







Water is a great teacher that shows us how to move through the world with grace, ease, determination, and humility.

The journey of water as it flows upon the earth can be a mirror of our own paths through life. Water begins its residence on earth as it falls from the sky or melts from ice and streams down a mountain into a tributary or stream. In the same way, we come into the world and begin our lives on earth. Like a river that flows within the confines of its banks, we are born with certain defining characteristics that govern our identity. We are born in a specific time and place, within a specific family, and with certain gifts and challenges. Within these parameters, we move through life, encountering many twists, turns, and obstacles along the way just as a river flows.

Water is a great teacher that shows us how to move through the world with grace, ease, determination, and humility. When a river breaks at a waterfall, it gains energy and moves on, as we encounter our own waterfalls, we may fall hard but we always keep moving on. Water can inspire us to not become rigid with fear or cling to what’s familiar. Water is brave and does not waste time clinging to its past, but flows onward without looking back. At the same time, when there is a hole to be filled, water does not run away from it in fear of the dark; instead, water humbly and bravely fills the empty space. In the same way, we can face the dark moments of our life rather than run away from them.


Eventually, a river will empty into the sea. Water does not hold back from joining with a larger body, nor does it fear a loss of identity or control. It gracefully and humbly tumbles into the vastness by contributing its energy and merging without resistance. Each time we move beyond our individual egos to become part of something bigger, we can try our best to follow the lead of the river.

A Method To Fall Asleep In Sixty Seconds




Yoga is what inspired Dr. Andrew to make “The 4-7-8 Breathing Exercise”. This exercise is very simple and easy and can be done where ever you want. No equipment is needed and won’t take long to be done.


“The 4-7-8 Breathing Exercise” Instructions:



1) Breathe out entirely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound.

2) Close your mouth and inhale gently through your nose to a count of four.

3) Hold your breath for a count of seven.


4) Exhale totally through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight.

5) This is one breath. Do the same for three more times for a total of four breaths.

What actually this practice does it lowers the heart rate and calms the mind. Dr. Andrew advises to concentrate on keeping the ratio exact and inhaling/exhaling deeply every time.






Although it sounds very easy be sure not to criticize it before trying it.

Why is it important to eat vegetables?







Eating vegetables provides health benefits – people who eat more vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet are likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases. Vegetables provide nutrients vital for health and maintenance of your body.

Nutrients

Most vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories. None have cholesterol. (Sauces or seasonings may add fat, calories, and/or cholesterol.)

Vegetables are important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, folate (folic acid), vitamin A, and vitamin C.

Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Vegetable sources of potassium include sweet potatoes, white potatoes, white beans, tomato products (paste, sauce, and juice), beet greens, soybeans, lima beans, spinach, lentils, and kidney beans.

Dietary fiber from vegetables, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fiber is important for proper bowel function. It helps reduce constipation and diverticulosis. Fiber-containing foods such as vegetables help provide a feeling of fullness with fewer calories.

Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells. Women of childbearing age who may become pregnant should consume adequate folate from foods, and in addition 400 mcg of synthetic folic acid from fortified foods or supplements. This reduces the risk of neural tube defects, spina bifida, and anencephaly during fetal development.

Vitamin A keeps eyes and skin healthy and helps to protect against infections.

Vitamin C helps heal cuts and wounds and keeps teeth and gums healthy. Vitamin C aids in iron absorption.

Health benefits
Eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may reduce risk for heart disease, including heart attack and stroke.

Eating a diet rich in some vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may protect against certain types of cancers.

Diets rich in foods containing fiber, such as some vegetables and fruits, may reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.

Eating vegetables and fruits rich in potassium as part of an overall healthy diet may lower blood pressure, and may also reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and help to decrease bone loss.

Eating foods such as vegetables that are lower in calories per cup instead of some other higher-calorie food may be useful in helping to lower calorie intake.

To improve brain memory





If our brains were computers, we'd simply add a chip to upgrade our memory. The human brain, however, is more complex than even the most advanced machine, so improving our memory isn't quite so easy. Just as it takes effort to build physical fitness, so too does boosting brain power.

Sharp and Strong memory is natural desire of every person. Either you are a student,or professional or an aged person.A strong memory depends on the health and vitality of your brain. It is better to do something about it and try to follow given Tips which will definitely help you to enhance your brain memory.


Try to adopt a habit of regular exercise because it increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.
Proper sleep of at least 6 to 8 hours is essential for proper functioning of brain cells.
Make time for friends and fun because smiling and laughters involve multiple regions across the whole brain and have positive effects on brain cells.
Reduce the stress level because it has adverse effect on brain cells.
Try to intake food which is essential for proper nourishment and growth of brain cells.
Fish oil is also effective for improving memory loss. It contains Omega-3 fatty acids that help your brain and body work better. It is also good for improving the body's functioning by helping you think better.Omega-3 fatty acids are found in wild-caught, deep sea fish (wild salmon, tuna, mackerel and herring). Other non-fish sources of omega-3 fatty acids include walnuts, ground flax seed, flax seed oil, pumpkin seeds, and soybeans.
B Vitamins improve memory by creating a protective shield for the neurons in the brain. B vitamins break down homocysteine, which is an amino acid that is a toxic poison to nerve cells. These vitamins also help in the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen, an important brain nutrient.


The most important B vitamins for memory include B6, B12, and Folic Acid (B9). You can increase the B vitamins in your diet by taking vitamin supplements and by consuming healthy, natural foods such as spinach and other dark, leafy greens; broccoli, asparagus, strawberries, melons, black beans, leeks, and other legumes, citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruit, and soybeans.


Vitamins C, E, and beta carotene are antioxidants and are also important vitamins for memory. Antioxidants protect brain tissue by breaking down free radicals, which are toxic forms of the oxygen molecule naturally found in the bloodstream.These vitamins can be found in naturally occurring foods such as blueberries, strawberries, and other berries; sweet potatoes, red tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, green tea and other types of tea, nuts and seeds, and citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruits.

Anemia: An Easy to Understand Guide






What is Anemia?

Anemia is a condition that occurs when not enough oxygen-carrying red blood cells, are being delivered to your body's cells and organs. People with anemia look worn out and have less energy for activities because their hearts are working harder to pump red blood cells around their bodies.

Anemia is not a disease and is easily treatable, and sometimes it’s triggered by other diseases. If you suspect you might be anemic, it's really important to be in touch with a medical professional. A blood test easily confirms whether you have anemia or not. Now, let's look at why you might develop anemia.



Why Would I Get Anemia?

Anemia also occurs when your body doesn't produce enough red blood cells, or there isn't enough hemoglobin in your red blood cells. Hemoglobin is an important protein, which transports oxygen from the lungs to other cells in your body.

If all these new scientific terms are confusing you it might be easier to imagine the blood in your body as a transport system, where the red blood cells are the vehicles and the oxygen is the passenger, who needs to go work on your cells and organs.

If you lose a lot of blood, or blood is being lost faster than new blood cells are being produced, you may become anemic. Women are more likely to develop anemia due to heavy menstruation, pregnancy or from bleeding after giving birth. Blood loss from trauma, surgery or internal bleeding caused by ulcers or other digestive disorders can also cause anemia.


Types of Anemia

There are several different kinds of anemia. The most common one is iron deficiency anemia, i.e. you have low levels of iron or are unable to absorb iron easily. Other nutritional deficiencies cause anemia such as vitamin B12 deficiency anemia or folic acid deficiencyanemia. In rare cases, anemia is caused by inherited blood diseases such as sickle cell anemia, Aplastic anemia, or Thalassemia.


How to Tell If You Have Anemia

Anemia isn't initially obvious. When you have mild to moderate anemia, you will feel weak, be fatigued and experience shortness of breath. If the condition is not detected early, more symptoms might develop such as a racing heartbeat, dizziness, headaches, ringing in the ears and restless leg syndrome. Additionally your skin and fingernails will look pale, and you might have increased hair loss. As mentioned before, the best way to tell if you are anemic is by getting a blood test.




Signs and Symptoms:

Mild Anemia:
Weakness
Fatigue
Shortness of breath



Moderate to Severe Anemia:
Rapid heartbeat
Dizziness
Headaches
Ringing in the ears
Restless leg syndrome
Hair loss
Pale skin


Additional Signs:
Pale or brittle fingernails
Cold hands and feet
Low body temperature
Sexual dysfunction
Cuts take longer to heal
Inability to concentrate




Treatment & Home Remedies

Iron Pills

Since the most common cause of anemia is low levels of iron, your doctor can prescribe iron pills, or you can buy supplements over the counter at a pharmacy. If one ingests too much iron, it can be toxic, and it is recommended you consult your doctor regarding the correct dosage for your age and weight.



Bananas, Honey, Almonds and Onions

The good news is that not only are these foods delicious, but they are also known for stimulating hemoglobin production. Start your day off by combining bananas, honey and almonds in oatmeal or with muesli for a nutritious breakfast.



Avoid Iron Blocking Foods

Certain foods need to be avoided close to meal times as they can prevent iron absorption.
Red wine, black and green tea, grapes, all heavy in tannins
Coffee, chocolate, and other caffeine laden foods
Milk and calcium products
Egg yolks, which contain the iron binding protein phosvitin
Soy products

Vitamin C

This super vitamin helps iron absorption. Vitamin C is found in many of nature's colorful fruits and vegetables and is particularly rich in oranges, strawberries, pomegranates or dates.



Eat Iron Rich Foods

Iron can also be obtained through your regular diet and making healthy food choices can only help. Here is a list of iron-rich foods, with choices for both meat lovers and vegetarians.

Meat-eaters' options:
Clams
Oysters
Fish
Red meat
Chicken liver

Vegetarian options:
Fortified dry cereal
Beets, lentils, and beans
Spinach, or other leafy green vegetables
Black molasses
Dried fruits such as raisins, currants, and prunes

               शब्दों के अर्थ में
    . आकाश पाताल का अंतर है।

        अकेलेपन में छटपटाहट है
          तो एकांत में आराम है।

         अकेलेपन में घबराहट है
             तो एकांत में शांति।

           जब तक हमारी नज़र
      बाहरकी ओर है तब तक हम.
       अकेलापन महसूस करते हैं
                       और
   जैसे ही नज़र भीतर की ओर मुड़ी
   तो एकांत अनुभव होने लगता है।

          ये जीवन और कुछ नहीं
                     वस्तुतः
      अकेलेपन से एकांत की ओर
              एक यात्रा ही है.!!

              ऐसी यात्रा जिसमें
    रास्ता भी हम हैं, राही भी हम हैं
       और मंज़िल भी हम ही हैं.!!


क्या आपने कभी VCR का हेड साफ़ किया है?

TV चेनल को गोल बटन से घुमा-घुमा के चेन्ज किया है?

टेप रेकोर्डर के केसेट को पेंसिल से घुमा-घुमा के रिवर्स किया है?

काले टेलीफोन के गोल डायल को घुमा-घुमा के नंबर मिलाया है?

हसन जहांगीर का गाना "हवा हवा ए हवा" सुना है??

दूरदर्शन पर "चित्रहार, हमलोग, नुक्कड़" देखा है?

अगर इन सारे सवालों का जवाब 'Yes' में है तो ...

ज़्यादा ख़ुश होने की ज़रूरत नहीं....

😁😁😁😁

आप बूढ़े 👴 हो चुके हैं!!!!

ऐ "सुख" तू कहाँ मिलता है, क्या तेरा कोई स्थायी पता है।

क्यों बन बैठा है अन्जाना,आखिर क्या है तेरा ठिकाना।
कहाँ कहाँ ढूंढा तुझको, पर तू न कहीं मिला मुझको।

ढूंढा ऊँचे मकानों में, बड़ी बड़ी दुकानों में,
स्वादिस्ट पकवानों में, चोटी के धनवानों में।

वो भी तुझको ढूंढ रहे थे, बल्कि मुझको ही पूछ रहे थे,

क्या आपको कुछ पता है, ये सुख आखिर कहाँ रहता है ?
मेरे पास तो "दुःख" का पता था, जो सुबह शाम अक्सर मिलता था।

परेशान हो के रपट लिखवाई, पर ये कोशिश भी काम न आई।

उम्र अब ढलान पे है, हौसले भी थकान पे हैं,
हाँ उसकी तस्वीर है मेरे पास, अब भी बची हुई है आस।

मैं भी हार नही मानूंगा, सुख के रहस्य को जानूंगा,
बचपन में मिला करता था, मेरे साथ रहा करता था।

मैं जब से बड़ा हो गया, मेरा सुख मुझ से जुदा हो गया,
मैं फिर भी नही हुआ हताश जारी रखी उसकी तलाश।

एक दिन ये आवाज आई, क्या मुझको ढूंढ रहा है भाई,
मैं तेरे अन्दर छुपा हुआ हूँ, तेरे ही घर में बसा हुआ हूँ।

मेरा नही है कुछ भी "मोल" सिक्कों में मुझको न तोल,
मैं बच्चों की मुस्कानों में हूँ,हारमोनियम की तानों में हूँ।

पत्नी के साथ चाय पीने में, "परिवार" के संग जीने में,
माँ बाप के आशीर्वाद में, रसोई घर के पकवानो में।

बच्चों की सफलता में हूँ, माँ की निश्छल ममता में हूँ,
हर पल तेरे संग रहता हूँ, और अक्सर तुझसे कहता हूँ।

मैं तो हूँ बस एक "अहसास" बंद कर दे तू मेरी तलाश
जो मिला उसी में कर "संतोष"
आज को जी ले कल की न सोच

कल के लिए आज को न खोना,
मेरे लिए कभी दुखी न होना, मेरे लिए कभी दुखी न होना ।।
🙏🌻🍁🌻🙏🙏🌻🍁🌻🙏


बहुत ही खूबसूरत लाईनें..

किसी की मजबूरियाँ पे न हँसिये,
कोई मजबूरियाँ ख़रीद कर नहीं लाता..!

डरिये वक़्त की मार से,
बुरा वक़्त किसीको बताकर नही आता..!


अकल कितनी भी तेज ह़ो,
नसीब के बिना नही जीत सकती..


बीरबल अकलमंद होने के बावजूद,
कभी बादशाह नही बन सका...!!"


"ना तुम अपने आप को गले लगा सकते हो, ना ही तुम अपने कंधे पर सर रखकर रो सकते हो !


एक दूसरे के लिये जीने का नाम ही जिंदगी है! इसलिये वक़्त उन्हें दो जो तुम्हे चाहते हों दिल से!


रिश्ते पैसो के मोहताज़ नहीं होते क्योकि कुछ रिश्ते मुनाफा नहीं देते पर जीवन अमीर जरूर बना देते है "



आपके पास मारुति हो या बीएमडब्ल्यू - सड़क वही रहेगी |

आप टाइटन पहने या रोलेक्स - समय वही रहेगा |


आपके पास मोबाइल एप्पल का हो या सेमसंग - आपको कॉल करने वाले लोग नहीं बदलेंगे |


आप इकॉनामी क्लास में सफर करें या बिज़नस में - आपका समय तो उतना ही लगेगा |


भव्य जीवन की लालसा रखने या जीने में कोई बुराई नहीं हैं, लेकिन सावधान रहे क्योंकि आवश्यकताएँ पूरी हो सकती है, तृष्णा नहीं |


एक सत्य ये भी है कि धनवानो का आधा धन तो ये जताने में चला जाता है की वे भी धनवान हैं |



कमाई छोटी या बड़ी हो सकती है....
पर रोटी की साईज़ लगभग सब घर में एक जैसी ही होती है।

    दिल को छूने वाली लाईन


सपने मे अपनी मौत को करीब से देखा....😓

कफ़न में लिपटे तन जलते अपने शरीर को देखा.....😭

खड़े थे लोग हाथ बांधे एक कतार में...

कुछ थे परेशान कुछ उदास थे .....

पर कुछ छुपा रहे अपनी मुस्कान थे..

दूर खड़ा देख रहा था मैं ये सारा मंजर.....

.....तभी किसी ने हाथ बढा कर मेरा हाथ थाम लिया ....

और जब देखा चेहरा उसका तो मैं बड़ा हैरान था.....

हाथ थामने वाला कोई और नही...मेरा भगवान था...

चेहरे पर मुस्कान और नंगे पाँव था....

जब देखा मैंने उस की तरफ जिज्ञासा भरी नज़रों से.....

तो हँस कर बोला....
"तूने हर दिन दो घडी जपा मेरा नाम था.....
आज प्यारे उसका क़र्ज़ चुकाने आया हूँ...।"

रो दिया मै.... अपनी बेवक़ूफ़ियो पर तब ये सोच कर .....

जिसको दो घडी जपा
वो बचाने आये है...
और जिन मे हर घडी रमा रहा
वो शमशान पहुचाने आये है....


तभी खुली आँख मेरी बिस्तर पर विराजमान था.....
कितना था नादान मैं हकीकत से अनजान था....

12 Warning Signs That You're Not Drinking Enough Water



1. You get headaches for no reason.
Well, you may not know the reason, but it could be dehydration. The next time you get a headache, drink lots of water, wait 10 minutes and then eat something. Your headache may just disappear.

2. You get hungry even though you’ve just eaten.
Your brain often confuses the signals for hunger and thirst, so when you think you’re hungry, you could actually be thirsty.

3. You often feel tired and lethargic.
When you don’t drink enough water, your body is forced to slow down in order to conserve energy and resources, making you feel tired, sleepy and lethargic.

4. You have trouble concentrating.
Over 70% of the brain is made up of water. When you’re dehydrated, brain function slows down and it becomes difficult for you to focus or concentrate.

5. Your skin tends to get dry.
If your skin is always dry and your lips are always chapped, and it doesn't seem to be due to the weather, it could be because you’re not drinking enough water. If you want soft and smooth skin, make it a point to drink plenty of water.

6. Your pee is very yellow.
This is a little bit gross, but make it a habit to peek into the pot every time you finish peeing. If your urine is clear or pale yellow then you’re fine, but if it’s dark yellow or brown then you need to drink water immediately.

7. Your digestive system is acting up.
Acidity, indigestion and constipation could all be indicators of dehydration. Water keeps your digestive system moving and prevents constipation. It also dilutes stomach acid, so without it you could suffer from acute acidity.

8. Your heart sometimes beats a little faster.
Rapid, fluttery heartbeats are a sign of dehydration.

9. You feel dizzy all of a sudden.
Dizziness can be caused by many different factors, like medication and lack of sleep, but dehydration is another prominent cause.

10. Your breath stinks.
When you’re dehydrated, your body doesn’t produce enough saliva. Saliva protects your teeth from harmful bacteria, but without it the bacteria get a chance to flourish.

11. Your mouth is often dry.
A dry mouth can indicate dehydration, so keep water nearby and sip it whenever you need to. A dry mouth could also be a side effect of medication, so don’t confuse the two.

12. Your muscles and joints hurt.

Water lubricates your muscles and joints, so lack of it can make movement painful!

10 reasons why you should eat walnuts every day!








Walnuts are usually avoided because of their high calorie content.
The fact is that they are very good for your physical, mental health and beauty.

The best part is that they can be consumed with whatever dish you are having, for example with oatmeal, salad or yogurt.

Here are 10 reasons why you should eat walnuts daily:

1. Helps weight loss


1. Studies suggest that regular consumption of walnuts will not lead to excessive weight gain.
The Omega-3 fats, protein and fibre present in walnuts infact induce satiety.
So if you are looking to lose weight, consider including walnuts in your diet.

2. Helps you sleep better

Walnuts contain a compound called melatonin. Consumption of walnuts increases the blood levels of melatonin which in turn induces sleep.
So try a few walnuts the next time you are insomniac instead of counting sheep like Count Dracula from Sesame Street.

3. Prevents hairfall

Walnuts prevent hairfall as they contain Vitamin B7. To know of more foods which prevent hairfall you can view our feature ’10 foods that prevent hairfall’.

4. Glowing skin

Vitamin B and antioxidants in walnuts prevent wrinkles.

So put those expensive creams aside and grab a fistful of walnuts instead.

5. Prevents heart disease

Walnuts contain high amount of antioxidants which help combat heart diseases.

Additionally, omega 3 fatty acids in walnuts also reduce bad cholesterol.

6. Prevents Dementia


According to a study, Vitamin E and flavonoids in walnuts help destroy harmful free radical chemicals that cause dementia.

7. Good for pregnant women

Allergies can be prevented in babies if pregnant women consume walnuts.
Walnuts can reduce a baby’s chance of developing food allergies.

8. Longer life
A study suggests that consuming walnuts thrice a week helps you live longer.

9. Reduces risk of breast cancer

Researchers have discovered through a study conducted on mice that walnuts if consumed daily, reduces the growth of breast cancer tumours.

10. Reduces stress

Researchers have found that including walnuts and walnut oil in the diet lowered blood pressure as they are a rich source of fibre, antioxidants, and unsaturated fatty acids.
These components give walnuts its stress fighting properties.
