No time to workout - Try these exercises at your desk
Pump it1 Dump it1      Posted on: 09-Sep-2008

These days, it seems like everyone is working more hours and using the old "no-time-to-exercise" excuse more than ever. Office jobs can be so stressful. Desk jobs aren't always the piece of cake jobs that most people assume they are. Sitting all day with your legs cramped is very hard on your body. Most office workers end up eating at their desk, answering the phone while at lunch, which is like adding an extra hour to their day. The best thing that you can do for yourself, is to take a couple of 15 minute breaks throughout the day. It will give your body time to recharge. Walk a bit, go get something to drink and move!

Aura - positive or negative, what is your colour?
Pump it0 Dump it1      Posted on: 25-Nov-2008

People believe that everything in the Universe is  just a vibration. Every atom, every part of an atom, every electron, every elementary "particle", even our thoughts and consciousness are just vibrations. Hence, we may define the Aura as a electro-photonic vibration response of an object to some external excitation. Aura around living objects changes with time, sometimes very quickly. Aura around non-living object is essentially fixed, but can be changed by our conscious intent.

aura
Everyone has an Aura. But most people on Earth have very weak and dull Auras. This seems to be a direct consequence of their life long materialistic attitude negating and suppressing the development of consciousness, cultivating fear, envy, jealousy and other similar emotions. Such attitude suppresses their True Nature, and their Auras seem to become suppressed too.

Drinking Water while your eating is a Big No No!
Pump it0 Dump it1      Posted on: 01-Feb-2009

It's very common that people drink water between their meals but research has said that a small amount of liquid during meals should be okay but drinking a lot of water, juice, or soda can cause digestion problems. Drinking water and other fluids can cause dilution of stomach acids and digestive enzymes, making them less effective at breaking down food. Whenever possible, it is best to drink fluids before and two hours after meals as this helps uptake of nutrients and move bowels. Reducing the amount of salt and spices added to foods is helpful in reducing the need to drink fluids with meals.

drinking while eating

Effects of Drinking water during meal:

  • Liquids taken during meals can dilute digestive enzymes and stomach acids and these are essential to break down the food and absorb nutrients. As it's harder to break down the food, the stomach may produce more acids, which could result in heartburn or acid reflux. This could possible put more pressure on the small intestines as well because the food is passed along from the stomach without being broken enough.

Stem Cell Research- Pros and Cons
Pump it0 Dump it1      Posted on: 16-Feb-2009

Stem cells are special cells that can turn into many different cell types in the body such as heart muscle cells, brain cells, and skin cells.

research

There are two kinds of stem cells:

Adult Stem Cells

  • Adult Stem Cells - a supply of stem cells that can multiply when needed to repair adult organs and tissue. Adult stem cells are found in the human body and in umbilical cord blood. The most well known source of adult stem cells in the body is bone marrow but they are also found in many organs and tissues; even in the blood. Adult stem cells are more specialized since they are assigned to a specific cell family such as blood cells, nerve cells, etc.
  • Embryonic Stem Cells - cells found early (less than 2 wks.) in the development of an embryo that can progenerate a developing fetus and ultimately a human baby. Embryonic stem cells are the most versatile because they can become any cell in the body including fetal stem cells and adult stem cells.

Ouch, Stretch Marks!
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 25-Apr-2008

Stretch marks or striae are a form of scarring on the skin with a silvery white appearance. They are caused by tearing of the skin and over time can fade but unfortunately not disappear completely. Stretch marks are because of the rapid stretching of the skin seen with rapid growth like that noted in puberty or weight gain especially during pregnancy. Stretch marks can also been seen on obese people, and can develop during rapid muscle growth from regular exercise.

Even pregnant celebs get them, here is a pic of Katie Holmes.

Help me with my Varicous Veins
Pump it1 Dump it0      Posted on: 29-Apr-2008
They can be not only be a ghastly thing to look at but they can also hurt especially at the end of the day.

So what are Varicose Veins and what we can do to reduce their severity?

Lets first look at veins. Veins are blood vessels that return deoxygenated blood from the outer parts of the body back to the heart and lungs. When veins become abnormally thick, full of twists or even enlarged, they are called varicose veins.

  • * The thickened, twisting or dilated parts of the vein are called varicosities.
  • * Varicose veins can form anywhere in the body, but they are most often located in the legs.
  • * In the United States, about 19% of men and 36% of women have varicose veins.
  • * Varicose veins tend to be inherited and become more prominent as the person ages.
