To get rid of throat infection

For past two days I am having throat infection. Probably because of change in climate across Bangalore to Hyderabad. Thanks to my mom she came with a home medicine. Chopped ginger with pepper in milk will give you immediate relief. Have it hot.

Another alternative, turmeric with hot milk and pepper.

Now you know. You may ask a question why I don't taste that much sugar in my coke?

It's because coke formula is as such that it significantly nullifies the sugar as you taste it but not the actual amount of sugar that goes into your body.

How to get good sleep?

1. Try relaxation & deep breathing exercises

Put things into perspective before you become upset or angry. Look into some relaxation techniques and deep breathing exercises.

2. Exercise regularly

Exercise increases heart and lung fitness while reducing stress, anxiety and insomnia. It also raises your endorphin levels -- the natural "mood elevators" produced by the brain. Endorphins reduce pain, relax muscles, and produce feelings of well being. As a result, sleep will be deeper and more restful. Even something as simple as brisk walking can have a positive effect, if done regularly.

3. Keep mentally stimulated

Boredom can actually keep you awake! If you're physically and mentally active, you're less likely to have poor sleep problem.

4. Eat properly

Limit your intake of fat and fried foods. Avoid eating a large or heavy meal within two to three hours of bedtime. While such a meal can make you feel drowsy at first, you'll probably toss and turn during the night.

5. Take a warm bath before bed

Just before bedtime (1-2 hours before sleeping), take bath with warm water. This will send blood away from the brain to the skin surfaces, and make you feel relaxed and drowsy. Your body temperature, raised by the warm water, will soon drop if you have a moderately cool bedroom. This will initiate sleepiness and more deep sleep.

6. Establish a bedtime ritual

Establish a bedtime ritual. Read good books. Take your mind off the day's busy-ness by venturing into the sublime thoughts.

Toxic Benzene in car ??

Cancer is around us!!

I received this mail recently. Though the information may not be completely authentic but it is always better to take prevention as mentioned below. More information on this topic can be accessed here.

No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents. Hmmm. Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a week. As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill. Guess its not too late to make some changes.

Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.

Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.

Here's why:

According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin
(carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).

In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.

Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.

Can also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50mg per sq.ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.

If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.

People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for interior to air out -dispel the deadly stuff - before you enter.
