Last month in one of TV program I learnt of a treatment of Sugar (Diabetes). Since I am diabetic, I tried it and it was very useful and my Sugar is in control now. In fact I have already reduced my medicine.
Take two fresh pieces of Lady Finger (Bhindi) and remove/cut both ends of each piece. Also put a small cut in the middle and put these two pieces in glass of water. Cover the glass and keep it at room temperature during night. Early morning, before breakfast simply remove two pieces of lady finger (bhindi) from the glass and drink that water in empty stomach.
Keep doing it on daily basis.
Within two weeks, you will see remarkable results in reduction of your SUGAR.
My sister has got rid of her diabetes. She was on Insulin for a few years, but after taking the lady fingers every morning for a few months, she has stopped Insulin but continues to take the lady fingers every day.
But she chops the lady fingers into fine pieces in the night, adds the water and drinks it all up the next morning.
Please try it as it will not do you any harm even if it does not do much good to you, but U have to keep taking it for a few months before U see results, as most cases might be chronic

AMAZING HEALTH FACTS
Did you know ?
Blood cells
Your body is creating and killing 15 million red blood cells per second!
Einstein
Einstein declined the presidency of the state of Israel when it was offered to him in 1952 by state leaders. The element einsteinium, discovered in 1952, was named in honor of Albert Einstein. Picture of Einstein sticking his tongue was taken on his 72nd birthday by annoying press photographer Arthur Sasse. Albert loved the photo so much that he cut his image out and send it to all his friends.
Kneecaps
Babies are born without kneecaps. They appear when the child is 2-6 years of age.
Cats and Dogs
Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds; dogs only have about ten.
Natural Blonds
One in fourteen women in America is a natural blonde. Only one in sixteen men is.
Rigor mortis
After human death, post-mortem rigidity starts in the head and travels to the feet, and leaves the same way it came.
Marijuana and Dysentery
The Chinese, in olden days, used marijuana only as a remedy for dysentery.
Killer Bees
More people are killed each year from bees than from snakes.
The Scooter
When Voyager 2 visited Neptune it saw a small irregular white cloud that zips around Neptune every sixteen hours or so now known as "The Scooter".
Skin Dust
Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin.
Fish Memory
A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds.
Orthodontists
An orthodontist needs four years of college, four years of dental school, and two years of postgraduate study in orthodontics before they can practice orthodontics.
All orthodontists are also board certified dentists
Dr Charles Tweed was the first certified orthodontist in the US.

Dr Charles Tweed was the first certified orthodontist in the US.
The first "braces" were constructed by Pierre Fauchard in 1728. Fauchard's "braces" consisted of a flat strip of metal, which was connected to teeth by pieces of thread.
Bands were invented by Schange in 1841. The first bands consisted of an strip of metal, with a screw to adjust their size.
Orthodontic Brackets were invented by Edward Angle in 1915. The brackets consisted of little hooks of metal, which were attached to bands which went around your teeth.
Dr Angle modified his design, producing the edgewise bracket in 1928. If you or your parents got braces before 1970, they probably got braces similar to those invented by Dr Angle
Snoring
If the roof of your mouth is narrow, you are more prone to snore since you are not getting enough oxygen through your nose.
Chewing
If you are right handed, you will tend to chew your food on your right side. If you are left handed, you will tend to chew your food on your left side.
How many people are alive?
5.8 percent of all human beings ever born are alive at this very moment.
Blood
It takes about 20 seconds for a red blood cell to circle the whole body.
Cancer rates
Cancer may affect people at all ages, even fetuses, but the risk for most varieties increases with age. Cancer causes about 13% of all deaths. According to the American Cancer Society, 7.6 million people died from cancer in the world during 2007. Cancers can affect all animals.
Cornea
The only part of the body that has no blood supply is the cornea in the eye. It takes in oxygen directly from the air.
Knuckle cracking
The sound you hear when you crack your knuckles is actually the sound of nitrogen gas bubbles bursting.
Eyebrow
There are approx. 550 hairs in the eyebrow.
Handness
If you are right handed, you will tend to chew your food on your right side. If you are left handed, you will tend to chew your food on your left side.
What is chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy, in its most general sense, refers to treatment of disease by chemicals that kill cells, specifically those of micro-organisms or cancer. In popular usage, it will usually refer to antineoplastic drugs used to treat cancer or the combination of these drugs into a standardized treatment regimen.
Heart pumping
The human heart creates enough pressure while pumping to squirt blood 10 meters in the air.
Height
We are about 1 cm taller in the morning than in the evening. Layers of cartilage in the joints gets compressed during the day
After death
Human hair and fingernails continue to grow after death.
What is ionizing radiation
Ionizing radiation consists of highly-energetic particles or waves that can detach (ionize) at least one electron from an atom or molecule. Ionizing ability depends on the energy of the impinging individual particles or waves, and not on their number. A large flood of particles or waves generally will not cause ionization if these particles or waves do not carry enough energy to be ionizing.
Titanic
It cost 7 million dollars to build the Titanic and 200 million to make a film about it.
Why is the sky blue?
When sunlight travels through the atmosphere, it collides with gas molecules. These molecules scatter the light. The shorter the wavelength of light, the more it is scattered by the atmosphere. Because it has a shorter wavelength than the other colours, blue light is scattered more, ten times more than red light, for instance. That is why the sky is blue.
Alergic to cats?
People that are allergic to cats will be able to pet them without sneezing and scratching. Genetically engineered cats will be produced to help people with allergies enjoy their sneeze-free kitties Allerca, Inc., a biotechnology firm in San Diego, California, says it has bred Hypoallergenic Cats and is now taking orders from customers in the United States.
Blinking
Women blink twice as many times as men do.
Laughing
Laughing lowers levels of stress hormones and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day.
What is radiation therapy?
Radiation therapy (or radiotherapy) is the medical use of ionizing radiation as part of cancer treatment to control malignant cells (not to be confused with radiology, the use of radiation in medical imaging and diagnosis). Radiotherapy may be used for curative or adjuvant cancer treatment. It is used as palliative treatment (where cure is not possible and the aim is for local disease control or symptomatic relief) or as therapeutic treatment (where the therapy has survival benefit and it can be curative)
Inteligence and hair
Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.

FOOD NUTRITION
A calorie is the amount of heat that is
required to raise one cubic centimeter of water one degree
Carbohydrates are molecular linkages of sugar molecules. If you
take a starch, which is a carbohydrate and you link those sugar
molecules together. If you look at the ingredients they are always
listed in the order of predominance. In that listing you will see an
ingredient called maltodextrine. A maltodextrine is a hybrid
ingredient that is neither a sugar nor a starch. You know a simple
sugar can be like glucose and a starch is a long chain of glucose
molecules. You link all those together and you finally get something
called a starch. In between where you have the simple sugars and
you have the complex substance starch you have these things
called maltodextrine.
You know again it comes back to the whole idea of how many units
are in this molecular chain. If you break down a fat you break it
down into something called a fatty acid. They can all be broken
down into smaller units. In the case of starch it can be broken down
into simple sugars or these maltodextrines, which can be broken
down into simple sugars.
Just like starch is broken down
into simple sugars, the fat is broken down into fatty acids and the
proteins are broken down into peptides or amino acids.
The egg white protein has an extremely high biological availability
and all of the essential amino acids in the right balance.
Each gram of
carbohydrates contains 4 grams of fat. This is why fat is so
important. It is almost twice that of protein and carbohydrates.
So one gram of fat contains roughly 9 calories.
Eggs are a tremendous source of protein. The egg white has an
abundance of all the right amino acids and is easily digested and
absorbed into the body. Egg whites may have the bioavailability of
100% because it is a reference protein. Meat protein is very close
to the egg protein as compared to some of the grain proteins. The
yolk contains quite a lot of fat but is also a good source of protein.
Last I heard about the literature was the egg or the yolk that
influenced the cholesterol level I am not sure that they ever came
to any conclusion. I have read studies that in clinical trials some
individuals have consumed a dozen eggs every day his cholesterol
level was fine or below normal and then there are other people who
seem to be predisposed to that kind of fat. Some people don’t have
any negative forms of fat as compared to others.

Get a great body in 5 steps
Here are some interesting exercises that can be done at home easily without any equipment. Also you can do it wherever you want!
Do one to three sets of each exercise, with eight to 15 repetitions per set.
Step 1: The warm up
Leg lifts: Stand with your feet apart at hip width. Place your hands on your hips. Bend both knees slightly and shift most of your weight onto your left leg.
Keeping your knee slightly bent, lift your right leg up and out to the side, about six inches. Lower to the original position. Repeat with the right leg, then with the left.
Arm curls: Use hand weights or dumbbells. Hold a weight in each hand, arms at your sides, palms facing forward.
Stand with your feet apart at hip width, knees slightly bent. Curl the weights up to your shoulders, then lower to the original position.
Step 2: Stretch exercises
Hamstring stretch: Lie on the floor and stretch your legs. Raise your left leg, using a towel to assist, until you feel the tension in your hamstring. Hold. Repeat on other side.
Inner thigh stretches: Sit on floor; place the soles of your feet together. Drop your knees toward floor. Gradually, lower your torso towards the floor until you feel a gentle tension in your inner thighs. Release.
Modified hurdler: Sit on floor, right leg extended, left foot against the right knee. Lower your torso and reach for your ankle until your hamstring feels tight. Repeat on other side.
Step 3: Floor exercises
Crunches: Lie on the floor with your feet hip width apart. Cradle your head in your hands without lacing your fingers together and with your elbows pointed slightly inward.
Tilt your chin a little bit toward your chest and pull your abdominal muscles in. Exhale through your mouth as you curl your head, neck and shoulders up off the floor. Hold this position for a moment, then inhale as you return to your original position.
Squats: Stand tall with your feet apart at hip width, with your weight slightly back on your heels. Place your hands on your hips. Sit back and down as if you're sitting into a chair directly behind you. Lower as far as you can without leaning your upper body more than a few inches forward (this depends on your flexibility and your build).
If you can bend your knees far enough so that your thighs are parallel to the floor, stop. Don't allow your knees to travel out in front of your toes. Once you feel your upper body fold forward over your thighs, straighten your legs and stand up. Take care not to lock your knees as you complete the movement.
Push-ups: Lie on your stomach. Bend your knees and cross your ankles. Bend your elbows and place your palms on the floor, in front of your shoulders and a bit to the side. Straighten your arms and lift your body so you are balanced on your palms and knees.
Tuck your chin a few inches towards your chest so that your forehead faces the floor. Tighten your abdominal muscles. Bend your elbows and lower your entire body at once. Rather than trying to touch your chest to the floor, lower until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Push back up.
Step 4: Stretching exercises
Dips: Sit at the edge of the desk or on a sturdy chair. Place your hands with the palms facing your body. Slide yourself off the seat and support yourself with just with your hands. Slowly lower yourself by bending your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the floor, and then press yourself back.
Lunges: Stretch your legs a stride's distance apart. Slowly bend your knees until you are in a kneeling position with your knees not quite touching the floor. Don't look down; don't allow your knees to shoot out past your toes. Return to your original position.
Step 5: Face exercises
~ Tilt your head backwards. Let your upper lip cover your lower lip. Maintain the posture as you curl your tongue up inside the mouth and press it against your upper palette. Then smile.
~ This exercise helps to get rid of furrows and lines on the forehead. All you have to do is lift the eyebrows upward and open your eyes wider with each count.
~ Place the entire thumb inside your mouth, between the teeth of the upper jaw and the upper lip. Press the upper lip back into the teeth so that your thumb is squeezed.
MOBILE PHONES AND HEALTH
ARTICLE ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
MOBILE PHONES - HEALTH CONCERNS
_
Mobile telephones, are now an
integral part of modern telecommunications.
Mobile phones are
very popular because they allow
people to maintain continuous
communication without hampering
freedom of movement.
Several important considerations
must be kept in mind when
evaluating possible health effects of
RF [Radio Frequency] fields. One is
the frequency of operation. Current
mobile phone systems operate at
frequencies between 800 and 1800
MHz. It is important not to confuse
such RF fields with ionizing
radiation, such as X-rays or gamma
rays. Unlike ionizing radiation, RF
fields cannot cause ionization or
radioactivity in the body. Because of
this, RF fields are called nonionizing.
RF fields penetrate exposed
tissues to depths that depend on
the frequency - up to a centimetre
at the frequencies used by mobile
phones. RF energy is absorbed in
the body and produces heat, but the
body’s normal thermoregulatory
processes carry this heat away. All
established health effects of RF
exposure are clearly related to
heating. While RF energy can
interact with body tissues at levels
too low to cause any significant
heating, no study has shown
adverse health effects at exposure
levels below international guideline
limits.
Most studies have examined
the results of short-term, whole
body exposure to RF fields at levels
far higher than those normally
associated with wireless communications.
There has been a lot of
speculation about the possible “ill”
effects of using mobile phones in the
following areas but latest information
available proves otherwise:
_ Cancer: Current scientific
evidence indicates that exposure to
RF fields, such as those emitted by
mobile phones and their base
stations, is unlikely to induce or
promote cancers. Several studies
of animals exposed to RF fields
similar to those emitted by mobile
phones found no evidence that RF
causes or promotes brain cancer.
Three recent epidemiological
studies found no convincing

MOBILE PHONES - HEALTH CONCERNS
_
Mobile telephones, are now an
integral part of modern telecommunications.
Mobile phones are
very popular because they allow
people to maintain continuous
communication without hampering
freedom of movement.
Several important considerations
must be kept in mind when
evaluating possible health effects of
RF [Radio Frequency] fields. One is
the frequency of operation. Current
mobile phone systems operate at
frequencies between 800 and 1800
MHz. It is important not to confuse
such RF fields with ionizing
radiation, such as X-rays or gamma
rays. Unlike ionizing radiation, RF
fields cannot cause ionization or
radioactivity in the body. Because of
this, RF fields are called nonionizing.
RF fields penetrate exposed
tissues to depths that depend on
the frequency - up to a centimetre
at the frequencies used by mobile
phones. RF energy is absorbed in
the body and produces heat, but the
body’s normal thermoregulatory
processes carry this heat away. All
established health effects of RF
exposure are clearly related to
heating. While RF energy can
interact with body tissues at levels
too low to cause any significant
heating, no study has shown
adverse health effects at exposure
levels below international guideline
limits.
Most studies have examined
the results of short-term, whole
body exposure to RF fields at levels
far higher than those normally
associated with wireless communications.
There has been a lot of
speculation about the possible “ill”
effects of using mobile phones in the
following areas but latest information
available proves otherwise:
_ Cancer: Current scientific
evidence indicates that exposure to
RF fields, such as those emitted by
mobile phones and their base
stations, is unlikely to induce or
promote cancers. Several studies
of animals exposed to RF fields
similar to those emitted by mobile
phones found no evidence that RF
causes or promotes brain cancer.
Three recent epidemiological
studies found no convincing
evidence of increase in risk of cancer
or any other disease with use of
mobile phones.
_ Other health risks: Scientists
have reported other effects of using
mobile phones including changes in
brain activity, reaction times, and
sleep patterns. These effects are
small and have no apparent health
significance. More studies are in
progress to try to confirm these
findings.
_ Driving: Research has clearly
shown an increased risk of traffic
accidents when mobile phones
(either handheld or with a “handsfree”
kit) are used while driving.

BEATING THE SUMMER
BEATING THE SUMMER
INCREASING WORD POWER
Simple precautions may save your skin
A suntan is a warning. It tells you
that your skin has been burned.
Ignore repeated warnings, and you
may end up with wrinkles, age spots
and skin cancer. Here are some tips
to protect your skin:
_ Limit your time in the sun. Avoid
the strongest ultraviolet (UV)
sunlight, which is between
midmorning and midafternoon.
Be aware that UV light reflected
from water, sand, snow and
cement can be as intense as
direct sunlight.
_ Wear protective clothing and
sunglasses. Loose, longsleeved
cotton shirts and caps
with at least a 4-inch brim offer
good protection. Sunglasses
should have at least 99 percent
protection against both
ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet
B (UVB) sunlight.
_ Wearing sunglasses is
particularly important when
you’re around water and snow,
where failure to use eye
protection can result in a painful
burn to the outer layer of your
eye (cornea) and temporary
blindness. Use sunscreen.
Many moisturizing and makeup
products now contain nongreasy
sunscreens with a sun
protection factor (SPF) of 15 or
higher. They’re good to use all
day, every day, even if you live
in a cloudy climate.
_ Ask your doctor about
medications you take. Many
drugs can increase your
sensitivity to sunlight and your
risk of getting sunburn.
_ Examine your skin regularly. If
you see changes in the size,
texture (rough, smooth), shape
(round, irregular), or color of
blemishes, or you have a sore
that doesn’t heal, see your
doctor immediately. Make sure
your doctor examines all skin
surfaces. Don’t assume it’s
safe to stay in the sun just
because you’re wearing
sunblock. Sunblock alone
doesn’t protect you from skin
cancer. Being sun smart is
best: Avoid the midday sun,
wear sun-protective clothing
and then wear sunscreen on
exposed skin, in that order.
