[www.keralites.net] 8 Benefits of Eating Raisins

 

 8 BENEFITS OF EATING RAISINS

1. Raisins are high in potassium and magnesium making them
alkalizing foods good for acidity. Increased acidity in blood or
acidosis is often related to many health problems likeskin
disorders, boils, damage to the internal organs, arthritis, gout,
hair loss, heart diseases, tumors and even cancer.
2. Calcium in raisins make them an ideal aid to healthier bones and
teeth. Boron,a mineral present in raisins, is found to be essential
to prevent health conditions like osteoporosis.
3. If you are anemic, raisins are something you have to eat as they
contain copper, iron and vitamin B 12. They help in the formation
of blood, promote blood clotting and wound healing.
4. The polyphenolic phytonutrients in raisins are anti inflammatory
and antibacterial fortifying your body against all infections.
5. Raisins have antioxidant properties which render them an
anticancerous quality. They protect the body from free radicals and
thwart cataracts, blindness, and enhance ocular health.
6. Raisins are also supportive of natural fertility if taken
regularly. Arginine is an amino acid found in raisins which help to
treat erection problems, sexual weakness and increase the libido.
7. If your child suffers from dental problems, then raisin is a
safe and sweet bet. Oleanolic acid in raisin will prevent tooth
decay, cavities, brittle teeth and gingivitis.
8. Finally, raisin is a great friend to those unhappy about their
anemic and skinny looks. Raisins contain plenty of fructose and
glucose keeping their energy levels up and aiding weight gain.
They are also claimed to promote cardiac health and prevent
cancers.If you can ignore the sugar content in raisins, they are
low in sodium and contain no cholesterol. Raisins, however, are low
in Vitamin C.
*Please note that raisins are rich in potassium and are not advisable for those
with Kidney Disease.
Take care!

[www.keralites.net] 8 Diabetic Diet Myths Dispelled

 

 8 Diabetic Diet Myths Dispelled
Diabetes is fast becoming one of the most common illnesses in the world. As such, there is a treasure trove of rumors and misinformation regarding this disease. It's extremely important to separate fact from fiction, and that is why we've brought you 8 of the most common myths about this disease that we are going to bust right now.
Myth 1: Eating too much sugar causes diabetes
It is widely thought that eating too much sugar causes diabetes. What does cause diabetes is an insulin malfunction . This means your body struggles to turn the food you eat into energy. Usually food gets broken down into glucose, a sugar that powers cells. The pancreas produces insulin, a hormone which helps cells use glucose for energy.
There are 3 common forms of diabetes and none of them are caused by sugar intake.
Type 1 diabetes usually starts in childhood or young adulthood and is when the pancreas can't produce insulin. These people need to take insulin to help move the sugar into the cells and prevent it from amassing in the blood. 
Type 2 diabetes can affect any person, of any age and is when the pancreas doesn't produce sufficient insulin or the insulin stops working, and sometimes both scenarios. Being overweight can make this form of diabetes more likely.
Another common type is Gestational diabetes, a temporary form of diabetes that occurs in pregnancy due to hormone changes that cause insulin not to work properly.
Myth 2: You won't be able to eat your favorite foods anymore
The idea that you are limited to uninteresting food when you are diabetic is widespread and misleading. You don't have to give up foods you love; you just might need to think of how you eat them differently. You will need to change the way you prepare these foods, and might need to change the foods that you eat alongside them, and possibly reducing the portions.
Myth 3: You'll have to prepare separate diabetic meals
You might be thinking that you won't be able to eat what the rest of the family is eating, and extra preparation would be required. This isn't necessarily true. A diabetic diet is a healthy diet, nutritious for the whole family and doesn't require separate preparation. The person with diabetes just needs to pay more attention to the amount of calories she or he eats and monitor the types of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in their diet.
Alternative sugars
Stevia
This is a plant extract that tastes much sweeter than sugar and has no calories. It has the added benefit of lowering blood sugar and blood pressure. Stevia has a distinct taste and it can take a while to adjust.
Erythritol
This sugar alcohol is low in calories and doesn't affect your blood sugar levels. It is safe to eat however eating too much can cause digestion issues.
Xylitol
Another sugar alcohol that doesn't raise blood sugar or insulin levels. Similar to Erythritol, Xylitol causes digestive issues if eaten in large quantities. This sugar alcohol is also been shown to have dental benefits and improve bone density. It's highly toxic to dogs.
Myth 4: Carbohydrates are bad for diabetics
Carbohydrates, commonly shortened to carbs, are the foundation of any healthy diet and are not bad for diabetes. Why they are important to monitor is because they have the greatest effect on blood sugar levels. It's best to discuss which ones you eat with a dietician so that you select nutrient rich ones.
Myth 5: You can replace carbohydrates with protein
Carbohydrates ability to affect blood sugar levels quickly might tempt people with diabetes to lower their intake of carbs and compensate with more protein. This is fine in principle, but in practice many proteins, such as meat, are dense in saturated fats. Consuming too much fat can increase the risk for heart disease.
Myth 6: You can take medicine and eat what you like
It would be great if taking a pill would allow you to go about eating what you usually do but adjusting your medication makes it less effective as medicine works best taken consistently, as instructed by your physician. For those who take insulin, it's often the case that you learn to adjust the amount of insulin to match the amount of food you eat, but this doesn't give you permission to eat as much as you want. You still have to stick to a diabetic diet to stabilize your blood sugar levels.
A lot of 'diet' foods are smart marketing. They are often more expensive and no healthier than regular foods. It's important to read the ingredients and consider the number of calories before deciding if it's suitable for your diabetic diet. As always when in doubt about what food is beneficial its best to consult with a nutritionist or dietician.
Myth 8: No more dessert
Similar to myth #2 you need to rethink how you look at desserts. There are plenty sweet options available for eating at the end of a meal. You can use artificial sweeteners, alternative sugars or try expanding your food horizons to include fruit, and yogurts. You can even make your recipes more nutritious by including whole grains, and vegetable oil when preparing desserts. For many recipes you can skip or reduce the sugar without changing the consistency or sacrificing the taste. Another option is to practice portion control. Consider splitting dessert or opting for a single ice cream scoop.

[www.keralites.net] Cure Autism Virupaksha Temple Color Changing Shiva

 

Cure Autism Virupaksha Temple Color Changing Shiva :-  as per this link - I don't know if this is true has anyone tried and cured / improvement ? 

I have published an article containing Veda Mantra for curing Autism.

 There is a Temple for curing Autism.

 This is near Mulabhagal Kolar District,Karnataka.

 The radiation from the Athmalinga from the Sanctum is believed to cure Autism, improves  Intelligence.

 There are two Lingas.

 The Athma Linga changes its color thrice a Day.

This Athma Linga is blood-red in color in the early mornings, in afternoons it is white, and in the evenings it takes honey color.

There are two more places where the Shiva Linga changes color.

One is in Mangalore Kantheswara Temple and another is in near Myiladuthurai, where The Lord Shiva's Idol changes its colors five times a day coinciding with the Kala Pooja, the poojas conducted at fixed hours daily..

Atma Linga.png

Atma Linga,Virupakshapura Village in Mulbagal taluk of Kolar dst, Karnataka.

 

In the same sanctum, there is another Linga slightingly bigger than the Virupaksha athma linga called  "Marga-Darsh-Neshwara Linga". The story dates back to many 1000 centuries.  Atreya Muni did penance to lords shiva in front of Marga-Darsh-Neshwara Linga for many decades. Lord Shiva pleased by Artreya's devotion, showed up to him and handed the Virupaksha athma linga as token of appreciation. Athreya Muni, established the linga in the same sanctum.

 How to reach.

Mulbagal is in Kolar district of Karnataka state in India. It 's about 100 km from Bangalore and 30 km from Kolar on the Bangalore-Chennai National Highway. Also, it's one of the taluks in Kolar district.

[www.keralites.net] Health groups' plea to cola majors: please snip sales

 

Health groups' plea to cola majors: please snip sales :-


Fourteen public health institutions, including two from India, have written to the Coca Cola and PepsiCo requesting them to reduce the sale of sugar-sweetened beverages in India and other parts of the the developing world because of the adverse public health impact.


Red flagging the perilous consequences of carbonated drinks including 1,84,000 deaths every year, the institutions asked the companies to desist from marketing their products to kids below 16 years, reduce the container size and carry a health warning. They also suggested reduction of the calorie content of these beverages to no more than 40 calories per 355 ml bottle.

The letters were sent to the chief executive officers of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo as well as to the companies' major institutional investors in the run-up to Coca-Cola's annual meeting on April 27 and PepsiCo's on May 4.

"While sugar-drink consumption in the US and Europe has been declining, your company and others are investing billions of dollars annually to increase sales in low and middle-income countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America," says the letter.

The signatories are George Institute for Global Health from Australia and India; Alliance for the Control of Tobacco Use and Health Promotion, Brazil; The Nutritional Health Alliance, Mexico; Australia and New Zealand Obesity Society from Australia; Centre for Science and Environment, India, World Obesity Federation and World Public Health Nutrition Association. 

"Around two lakh deaths occur every year due to sugar related diseases. The negative impact of sugar is a critical area to be worked upon," said Vivekananda Jha, executive director of George Institute for Global Health, India.

Studies carried out by the Diabetes Foundation and Centre of Nutrition and Metabolic Research suggest per capita consumption of sugary beverages has gone up by over five times in India since 1998, demonstrating the impact of the marketing undertaken by these companies in India. 

Excess sugar in the body causes multiple disorders and eventually leads to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, among other diseases.

Sin tax

While several Indian public health specialists suggested a sin tax on sugar-sweetened beverages, a committee on the Goods and Services Tax headed by Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian proposed 40% tax on aerated drinks – a move that was opposed by cola companies.

In February, non-governmental organisation Centre for Science in the Public Interest released a report exposing how Coke and Pepsi are spending billions in Brazil, China, India, and Mexico to promote sugar-drink sales.
