10 Inflaming vs. 10 Anti-Inflammation Foods

Inflammation is a condition in which a part of the body shows symptoms of becoming red, swollen, hot and most of the time - painful. This is caused as a reaction to injury or infection. We can see inflammation when it's on the outside of the body. But what about internal inflammation? This can be caused by any number of reasons. One way to combat it and your quality of life is to eat a lot of foods that fight inflammation from inside the body.
For this reason, it is important to know which foods help you fight inflammation, and which are the cause of it.
10 foods That Cause Inflammation
1. Sugar - It's incredibly hard to avoid sugar, it's simply everywhere. Still, try to limit your intake of food filled with processed sugar, and go for sweet fruit instead. 
2. Common Cooking Oils - Safflower, soy, sunflower, corn, and cottonseed. These oils not only contribute to the onset of inflammation, but they are also made with cheap, unhealthy ingredients. 
3. Trans Fats - Trans fats increase bad cholesterol, promote inflammation, obesity and resistance to insulin. They are in fried foods, fast foods, commercially baked goods, such as peanut butter and items prepared with partially hydrogenated oil, margarine and vegetable oil.

4. Red and Processed Meat - Red meat contains a molecule that humans don't naturally produce called Neu5GC. Once you ingest this compound, your body develops antibodies which may trigger constant inflammatory responses. Reduce red meat consumption and replace with poultry, fish and learn cuts of red meat, once a week at most. 
5. Feedlot-Raised Meat - Animals who are fed with grains like soy and corn contain high inflammation. These animals also gain excess fat and are injected with hormones and antibiotics. Always opt for organic, free-range meats that have been fed natural diets.
6. Dairy - While some yogurts are ok, the body has a hard time processing dairy products. Milk is a common allergen that may cause inflammation, stomach problems, skin rashes, hives and even breathing difficulties. Remember, milk is good for children but not as great for adults.

7. Alcohol - Regular consumption of alcohol causes irritation and inflammation to numerous organs, which can lead to cancer. 
8. Refined Grains - "Refined" products have no fiber and have a high glycemic index. They are everywhere: white rice, white flour, white bread, pasta, pastries... Try and replace with minimally processed grains.
9. Artificial Food Additives - Aspartame and MSG are two common food additives that can trigger inflammation responses. Try and omit it completely from your diet.
10. Undiagnosed Allergy - Do you constantly have headaches or feel tired? Sometimes, you may develop an allergy to a type of food and not even know it. Coffee, certain vegetables, cheese... there might be a trigger you aren't even aware of. Try and take a few foods out to see how you feel and slowly incorporate them back in to see if there might be a hidden culprit lurking in your diet!


10 Foods that are naturally anti-inflammation 
1. Salmon - Salmon contains the Omega 3 amino acids and has been known to treat a numbers of health issues. If you don't like eating fish, you can try a good, high-quality supplement. Try and integrate fish oil or oily fish into your meals twice a week to enjoy its advantages.

2. Garlic - Although garlic is more well known, research is actually a bit more inconsistent about its benefits. But it can help reduce inflammation, control blood sugar and fight infections. 
3. Extra Virgin Olive Oil - This oil has been the key to long living in the Mediterranean cultures for hundreds of years. The oil provides healthy amounts of anti-inflammation fats and can lower the risk of asthma and arthritis, as well as protect the heart and blood vessels.

4. Sweet Potato - Complex carbs, beta-carotene, vitamins B6 and C and fiber - these potatoes will work to heal inflammation raging through the body.

5. Blueberries - These berries not only fight inflammation, but are also an excellent anti-aging agent for the brain and, above all, fight diseases like cancer and dementia.

Tip: Best to go for organic berries, as their small size makes it hard to wash away the pesticides.

6. Kelp - This brow algae extract has important roles to play in the prevention and fight against liver and lung cancer. It also is a strong anti-inflammation agent, anti-tumor, and antioxidant. This one does it all. Good sources for kelp are Kombu, wakame, and arame.

7. Ginger - Regular ginger contains a multitude of potential health benefits. It fights inflammation, it helps control your blood sugar levels, and as a tea - it's really good for your diet.

8. Turmeric - Researches cannot stop talking about this powerful spice from Asia that is a strong contender in the anti-inflammatory ring, thanks to its active ingredient - curcumin. This strong ingredient is believed to also fight the development of Alzheimer's disease, counter heart problems, and act as a natural pain reliever.

9. Green tea - There are few things more proven and more healthy than green tea. It contains anti-inflammatory flavonoids to such an extent that drinking it actually lowers the risk of certain cancers.


10. Cruciferous Vegetables - Broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale, and cauliflower are all vegetables filled with high amounts of antioxidants. They are considered natural detoxifiers and rid the body of harmful materials that may do it damage.

[www.keralites.net] penguin swims 5,000 MILES every year to visit Brazilian man who nursed it back to life after he found it covered in oil and dying on a beach

 

'I love the penguin like it's my own child and I believe the penguin loves me': Bird swims 5,000 MILES every year to visit Brazilian man who nursed it back to life after he found it covered in oil and dying on a beach 

Pensioner Joao Pereira de Souza, 71, discovered dying penguin on beach

He nursed creature, which was covered in oil, back to health at his home

Mr de Souza named the creature Dindim and released him back into wild

Dindim goes off to breed but always returns to stay at Mr de Souza's home

This incredible video shows the touching relationship between a penguin and the Brazilian man who rescued him from certain death.

Retired bricklayer and part time fisherman Joao Pereira de Souza, 71, from an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, discovered the tiny penguin languishing on rocks in 2011.

The helpless creature was starving and covered in oil but Mr de Souza took him in and nursed him back to health, naming the South American Magellanic penguin Dindim.


Retired bricklayer and part time fisherman Joao Pereira de Souza, 71, from an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, discovered the tiny penguin languishing on rocks in 2011 covered in oil


The creature was starving and covered in oil but Mr de Souza took him in and nursed him back to health

It took him a week just to clean the sticky black residue from the bird's feathers. 

When Dindim was well again Mr de Souza released him back into the sea, never expecting to see his new friend again.

He was astonished when, just a few months later, the penguin returned to the island where he recognised Mr de Souza and returned home with him.

Now, Dindim spends eight months of the year with Mr de Souza and spends the rest of his time breeding off the coast of Argentina and Chile


Now the unlikely pair share a strong bond which means the wild penguin likes to spend time with the man

The flightless bird is believed to swim around 5,000 miles everytime he returns to Mr de Souza.

'I love the penguin like it's my own child and I believe the penguin loves me,' Mr Pereira de Souza told Globo TV. 

'No one else is allowed to touch him. He pecks them if they do. He lays on my lap, lets me give him showers, allows me to feed him sardines and to pick him up.'

Mr Pereira de Souza said he fed Dindim a daily diet of fish to improve his strength then took him back to the sea to let him go.

'But he wouldn't leave, he stayed with me for 11 months and then just after he changed his coat with new feathers he disappeared,' recalled the retired builder. 'Everyone said he wouldn't return but he has been coming back to visit me for the past four years. 

'He arrives in June and leaves to go home in February and every year he becomes more affectionate as he appears even happier to see me.'

Biologist Joao Paulo Krajewski, who interviewed Mr Pereira de Souza for Globo TV, told The Independent: 'I have never seen anything like this before. I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin as well.

'When he sees him he wags his tail like a dog and honks with delight.' 


Another expert said it appears as though Dindim recognises Mr de Souza as he would another penguin, and acts accordingly.

[www.keralites.net] SAND PICTURE IN BOTTLES FROM ANDREW CLEMENS!

 

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Andrew Clemens (Andrew Clemens, 1857 - 1894) - an extraordinarily talented self-taught artist from Iowa. He created an incredibly complex art, drawing a picture of tiny colored grains of sand by using tools and techniques invented them ahead of their time.

Though Andrew and was completely deaf and dumb most of his life, yet this did not prevent him to make hundreds of bottles with amazing paintings of colored sand inside. Parents Clemens met and fell in love with each other during the journey to the United States from Germany. After living in different cities of the United States, they finally settled in Iowa to try to earn a living by using the gold rush. It was here, at the age of five years, Andrew was struck by an inflammation of the brain, known today as encephalitis. But the boy was lucky he did not die, but due to illness, lost his hearing and speech.

As Andrew Clemens created a sand painting

While still a teenager, Clemens enjoyed life in Iowa. He loved to collect multi-colored sand on the banks of the Mississippi River, which brought home and carefully assorted grains in size and color. Soon he gathered a huge collection of sand with a wide variety of different colors - green, red, brown, gray, yellow, blue and others. Once he started to work with these samples, carefully arranging colored grains of sand in the form of bizarre patterns in bottles of various sizes. To facilitate the creative process, the boy developed special tools for themselves, like fishhooks and thin tweezers. This greatly helped him in creating extremely detailed images with a high level of complexity that can not be collected manually.

1. 2. One of the most popular works of Andrew Clemens - a picture of George Washington on horseback. But his work also common marine scenes, flowers, historical figures, images, or local historical events. In addition, fulfilling private orders, Clemens included the words, quotes and names of the people in his paintings out of sand. Tellingly, during the life of the master, he created art little appreciated by his contemporaries. His bottle sold for only fifty cents apiece, and sometimes for a few dollars. But today, they are thousands and tens of thousands of dollars! Unfortunately, it is unknown the exact number of sand paintings in bottles created by artists for life. Many of them have been broken, due to their fragile nature.3. 4. 5. 6.

Andrew Clemens died tragically at age 37 of tuberculosis. But his art of sand stood the test of time - to keep a few bottles that are in perfect condition to this day. At the same time, thanks to the quality work of the master, in all that time not a single grain of sand did not move from his seat in the bottle!
