[www.keralites.net] BENEFITS OF COW GHEE

 

BENEFITS OF COW GHEE
According to Dr. Bhagyashree Zope of Santulan Ayurveda, fats are an integral aspect of our diet and traditional ghee is the best form of fat that your body can ask for. The only condition to making traditional ghee, she says, is that it must be made from fresh or pasteurised milk without resorting to shortcuts for this process (see box).
Apart from nourishing the eyes, hair and skin, the traditional ghee lubricates and cleanses the insides, including the intestines, tissues, joints and arteries. "This is because it doesn't allow anything it comes in contact with to 'stick', thereby helping the organs in functioning smoothly," explains Dr Zope. Ghee also helps regulate digestion and promotes optimum metabolism. "In cases of blocked arteries, it helps remove the plaque deposited in arteries and facilitates its dissolution. It improves the ratio of HDL (good cholesterol) to LDL (bad cholesterol) and helps control triglycerides," says Dr Zope.
The traditional ghee, which is a more suitable cooking medium compared to oil due to the fact that ghee does not burn (smoke) easily, even helps reduce obesity. "If you take a tablespoon of ghee every night, followed by a few sips of hot water, it helps regulate bowel movements and improves digestion. Over time, this helps cut down body fat," she recommends.
That apart, Dr Zope advises her patients to take a minimum of four to five teaspoons of ghee a day. "In fact, heart patients should have about eight to 10 teaspoons of ghee every day if they want to increase their HDL and to bring down the LDL and triglycerides," she says.
Her patient Dr Manu Multani, 75-year-old former professor at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and a pioneer in nanomaterial science and technology, concurs. "I suffered from a massive heart attack in 1996 and my condition was deteriorating. Two years later, when cardiologists were giving up, I turned to ayurveda," he says. Along with the ayurvedic medicines, the doctors advised him ghee. The physicist says, "We completely stopped using cooking oil at home and switched to traditional ghee from the ayurveda centre."
Since 1998, Dr Multani has been pouring eight to 10 teaspoons of ghee over dal, rice, chapattis and cooked veggies daily. In the past 14 years, he claims he has consumed around 230 kgs of ghee. Even when the Versova resident travels abroad for his conferences, he carries his box of ghee along. And in all these years, the doctors haven't seen his cholesterol levels shoot up, he says.
"In fact, I feel better than before. I can effortlessly climb two floors and walk for an hour without trouble. Besides, the devotion of my wife Ruby, it's this ghee that has helped me remain hale and hearty," he smiles. Referring to the significance of ghee in Indian culture, Dr Multani says, "There's a Sanskrit saying that says you must eat ghee even if you have to borrow money to buy it. There's another adage in my mother-tongue Sindhi: Jeko kare na ma pi; so kare ghee (What your parents cannot manage for you, ghee does). In fact, before my heart problem, I would never touch ghee. Today, I consider it as nectar."
There are fats that kill and then there are those that heal. The traditional ghee, which your grandmother so lovingly churned and boiled at home, is clearly the latter.

[www.keralites.net] 10 Natural Cure for chapped lips

 

10 Natural Remedies to Cure Chapped Lips
Winter season is here, which means many of us will suffer from chapped lips. It seems that no matter how much we bundle up, our lips constantly remain exposed to the harsh winter winds. It's important to keep a scarf wrapped around your mouth as a preventative measure.
Chapped lips, also referred to as dry lips, occurs when the lips aren't properly moisturized or due to certain illnesses. There are a number of external factors that can cause your lips to crack and peel. Here are a few of the most common causes and symptoms:
Causes:
Dehydration
Malnutrition
Excessive Licking of Lips
Cheilitis
Exposure to Sun
Allergic Reaction 
Smoking
Kawasaki Disease
Symptoms:
Redness
Dryness
Swelling
Flaking
Sore Lips
Cracking
Bleeding 
10 Natural Remedies to Treat Chapped Lips:
1) Honey - Honey can cure almost anything, including chapped lips. Honey acts as a natural lip balm, and moisturizes your lips with its powerful antibacterial properties. Dab a little honey on your lips a couple of times during the day, and an extra dose before bed to prevent chaffing.
2) Sugar - Sugar might not be great for your teeth, but it's certainly an effective treatment for chapped lips! The sugar helps exfoliate dead cells, while restoring them back their natural state. Here's a quick recipe on how to prepare a natural sugar lip balm:
How to Prepare It:
Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with 2 teaspoons of sugar.
Apply the sugary sweet lip balm mixture to the damaged areas and allow it to sit for several minutes.
Gently rub the mixture around on your lips to loosen the dead skin cells.
Wash the mixture off with lukewarm water.
3) Water - One of the most common causes of cracked lips is dehydration. It's extremely important to keep yourself properly hydrated during the day to prevent dry mouth. Try to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day. Make sure you carry a large water bottle when you leave the house, so you can stay fully hydrated no matter where you go.
4) Petroleum Jelly - A little Vaseline can cure those dry lips. The petroleum jelly moisturizes your lips, and helps to repair the dead cells. Vaseline also lasts for a long time, and comes available in tiny tubes that fit inside your pocket. Alternatively, you can also apply a bit of honey to your lips, wait for it to dry a few seconds, and add a light smear of petroleum jelly. Remove the substance with a cotton ball dipped in warm water.
5) Aloe Vera Gel - Aloe vera is a multi-purpose skin treatment. It can be used to get rid of chapped lips as well. Place a small amount of the gel to the damaged lips a few times during the day. The aloe vera keeps your lips fully hydrated, which allows the dryness to heal much quicker. The taste may be a bit unpleasant, but the results are worth it.
6) Coconut Oil - The minerals found within the coconut oil helps to moisturize the uncomfortable dryness, and softens the cracked areas of your lips. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to apply the coconut oil:
How to Prepare It:
Mix a teaspoon of coconut oil together with a teaspoon of sea salt into a bowl. 
Apply the mixture all over the chapped lips, by gently using your fingers in a small circular motion. 
Continue the circular motion for about a minute, before rinsing with a warm washcloth.
7) Castor Oil - Did you know that castor oil can actually be used to nourish and repair dry lips? Castor oil stops the peeling, and works like magic too. Place a dab of the oil over the chapped lips, and cover it with a thin layer of petroleum jelly. Glycerin may be used in place of Vaseline, and here's how to prepare the mixture:
How to Prepare It:
Mix one teaspoon of castor oil, with a teaspoon of glycerin and a few drops of lemon juice into a small bowl. 
Apply the mixture over your dry lips before going to sleep, and wash it off in the morning with a cotton ball dipped in warm water. -Repeat this treatment daily until your lips are smooth again.
8) Cucumber - Sliced cucumbers can reduce puffiness in the eyes, and work wonders for flaky or dry lips. Cucumbers are high in ascorbic acid, which stimulates the production of collagen. Here's how to prepare a cucumber lip balm to treat the chapped lips:
How to Prepare It:
Take a small cucumber slice and gently rub it on your dry lips.
Let the cucumber juice sit on your lips for around 15 to 20 minutes, and then wash your lips with lukewarm water.
Repeat this process a periodically throughout the day to allow your lips to heal quicker.
9) Rose Petals - Rose petals contain natural oils that provide instant relief against cracked lips. The natural astringent properties of the rose petals offer a soothing effect on the capillaries beneath the skin surface. They also give your lips beautiful color, while kissing the dryness and inflammation goodbye!
How to Prepare It:
Grab a handful of rose petals, and clean them thoroughly in water. 
Allow the petals to soak in a milk for a few hours. 
Mash the petals in the milk until they begin to form a thick paste.
Apply the paste on your cracked lips a few times per day, and every night before bed.
10) Milk Cream - The high fat content found inside the milk cream is used to eliminate chapped lips. Put a little milk cream on your dry lips, and let the thick heavy cream go to work for about 10 minutes or so. Gently wash your lips afterward with a cotton ball dipped in lukewarm water. Try adding a little lime juice for twice the relief and twice the nourishing benefit!

[www.keralites.net] HEALTH BENEFITS OF WATERMELON

 

HEALTH BENEFITS OF WATERMELON
The benefits of watermelon are many, including;
Very hydratin WATERMELON FOR DEPRESSION, ACIDITY.....
Benefits of Watermelon
g; Watermelon is over 90% water and the water contained in this melon is the perfect water to hydrate every cell of your body.
Cleansing; Because of its high water content, watermelon is an extremely cleansing food (when food combining principles are followed and it is eaten alone). Do a mini detox cleanse by consuming only watermelon for a day or two.
Helps to control blood pressure.
Promotes weight loss.
Helps to lower cholesterol.
Offers natural sun protection; Watermelon contains lycopene which is a nutrient that naturally protects you from sun exposure, it is no accident that watermelon season is in the summer and that the watermelon originated in the hot climate of the Kalahari.

How to Choose a Watermelon
Like I said earlier, only choose watermelons that have seeds in them - avoid seedless watermelons.
Choose a watermelon that has a whitish patch on one side:
Vine Ripened Watermelon
This white patch tells you that this watermelon was allowed to ripen on the vine and it wasn't picked too early.
Choose a watermelon that has smooth, firm skin and that has a uniform shape (either circular or oval).
The best watermelons are heavy for their size.
How to Choose a Watermelon
How to Eat Watermelon
Is there a certain way? Yes, there is one rule;
CONSUME WATERMELON ON AN EMPTY STOMACH AND AWAY FROM ALL OTHER FOODS
Proper food combining explains this rule as follows;
One of the benefits of watermelon is its high water content. This makes it very easy to quickly move through your digestive system IF it is unhampered by any other food.
On an empty stomach, your body can efficiently absorb all of the nutrient goodness from the watermelon while allowing it to cleanse your entire GI tract.
But, if watermelon is eaten with other foods or while you have other food still in your belly, all of the benefits of watermelon are drastically reduced. Instead, the watermelon gets held up in your stomach by all the other food and while it is forced to churn in that warm environment it will start to ferment causing gas, bloating and fullness.
Avoid any sort of digestive distress and gain all the many benefits of watermelon by eating it by itself on an empty stomach.
Watermelon Juice
Watermelon Juice
This watermelon juice couldn't be simpler to make. It's nutritious, hydrating, cleansing and delicious!
Perfect on a hot summer day or anytime you want a cool, refreshing drink.
Start with LOVE - this is the secret ingredient that takes anything you make to the next level.
Use organic watermelon with seeds (NOT seedless watermelon).
You can remove some of the black seeds but it is okay to leave a few of them in and you can leave all the white seeds in.
