Grapes – a queen of all fruits

1. Grapes are one of the most valuable fruit that is known to revitalize our entire system. They are delicious, highly nutritious and very easily digestible.
   
   Grapes can be eaten fresh or dried (raisins) or can be consumed as a grape juice. Although seedless grapes are highly sought after for table grapes, the absence of seeds does diminish the phytochemical content of the grape. To receive the maximum nutrients from grapes, it is recommended that the seeds are also consumed.
   
   
   Many of the health benefits attributed to red/purple grapes are due to the pigments that are concentrated largely in the skin and seeds, which have about 100 times higher level than the pulp of the grape.
   
   Grapes are rich in content with water, protien, fat, minerals (calcium, phosphorus, iron) and vitamins (Vitamin C, Vitamin A and P). Due to its rich content of sugar which is formed of glucose, they are easily absorbed in the body soon after its consumption thus supplying heat and energy within a short time.
   
   Health benefits are massive and can be illustrated as follows:

1. Cancer:
   Grapes seem to be very good cancer fighting fruit. (They are an excellent source of health promoting flavonoids. Usually, the stronger the color of the grapes, the concentration of flavonoids are found higher.)
   
   Grapes are also rich in ellagic acid, a potent flavonoid that helps fight cancer. Besides there is a substance found in the skin (not flesh) of grapes, called "resveratrol". Researchers reported in a study that resveratrol is converted in the body to a known anti-cancer agent that can selectively target and destroy cancer cells.
   
   Besides, red grape skins and seeds contain recently isolated compounds shown to reduce the size of estrogen-dependent breast cancer tumors.
   Still more interesting fact is that grapes acts as a preventative agent in prostrate, lung, liver, and breast cancer.
2. Heart Disease:
   Grapes are abundantly useful in the treatment of heart disease as they tone up the heart and are effective in cardiac pain and palpitation of the heart. Besides grape juice is highly valuable for a person who is suffering from a heart attack which will avert serious consequences and by reducing the pain and palpitation.
   
   Also eating fresh grapes may prevent the accumulation of harmful oxidized cholesterol as well as the development of atherosclerotic lesions. According to the study, as reported in the Journal of Nutrition (vol. 135, pp. 722-728, 2005.), naturally occurring antioxidants in fresh grapes known as polyphenols are believed to be responsible for this beneficial impact.
   
   The flavonoid compounds found in grapes called resveratrol appear to decrease the risk of heart disease by:
   -Reducing platelet clumping and harmful blood clots
   -Protecting LDL cholesterol from the free radical damage that initiates LDL's artery-damaging actions
   -Boosts good type of HDL cholesterol
   They are also known to keep heart flexible and healthy.
3. Blood Pressure :
   The intake of grapes regularly in our diet reduces the risk of hypertension.
4. Alzheimer’s disease: Resveratrol, a beneficial polyphenol present in grapes reduces the levels of amyloidal-beta peptides in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Studies suggest that grapes can enhance brain health and stall the onset of neurodegenerative diseases.
5. Constipation:
   As grapes are a laxative food, it is valuable in relieving constipation. It tones up the stomach and intestine and relieves the most chronic cases of constipation. When fresh grapes are not available, raisins soaked in water can be used.
6. Dyspepsia :
   Grapes constitute a light food that eliminates indigestion and irritation of the stomach and, is valuable in dyspepsia.
7. Asthma :
   According to Dr. Oldfied, grapes and their juices are beneficial in the treatment of asthma.
8. Body building fruit:
   Grapes are very good for the blood and a body builder - it is also a quick source of energy.
9. Migraine:
   The grape juice is very effective home remedy for severe migraine.
10. Kidney Troubles:
    It is an excellent food remedy in acute and chronic nepthritis and bladder stones. Also grapes help to decrease the acidity of the uric acid greatly and, lends itself further in aiding the elimination of the acid from the system, thus benefiting the kidneys greatly.
11. Antibacterial activity: Red grapes have strong antibacterial and antiviral properties and can protect you from infections. They have a strong antiviral property against poliovirus and herpes simplex virus.
12. Liver Disorders:
    Grapes activate liver to glycogenic functions and bile secretions and is highly useful for all types of liver disorders.
13. Pyorrhoea :
    The organic acid of the grapes are strongly antiseptic and has a strong effect on the gums. According to Johanna Brandt, “Every tooth may be loose in its socket and pus may be pouring from the gums, but after a few weeks on the exclusive grape diet, it will be found that teeth are firmly set in the jaws and that every trace of pyorrhea poisoning has disappeared”.
14. Alcoholism :
    Grapes are an effective remedy for those craving alcohols as it is the most purest form of alcohol. So grapes must form an exclusive diet in treating the alcoholics.
15. Eyesight:
    Grapes can contribute to reducing the risk of loss of eyesight (a major problem among the elderly). By increasing grapes intake we can reduce the risk of macular degeneration (the main cause of vision loss) by 30-40%.
    
    Flavonoids present in grapes have antioxidants, which can reduce and fight the damage caused by free radicals such as cataract.
16. Anti-aging & Life-prolonging properties :
    The resveratrol found in grapes seems to influence genes controlling the aging process. According to Harvard Medical School researchers, this substance can restrict calories intake. It activates enzymes that slow aging, thus increasing DNA stability and extending life span by 70%.
    
    
    In short, for taste and for health, put either some grapes or grape juice in your daily diet that will do wonders to your overall health and immune system!
    (However, a word of warning, grapes have many health benefits, but have a high sugar content and should therefore be eaten in moderation or choose the less sweet ones).

Tips on Low Back Pain Relief and Prevention

What can cause low back injuries?
Muscle strain or spasm, sprains of ligaments (which attach bone to bone), joint problems or a "slipped disk." The most common cause is using your back muscles in activities you're not used to, like lifting heavy furniture or twisting a body.
A slipped disk (also called a herniated disk) happens when a disk between the bones of the spine bulges and presses on nerves. This is often caused by twisting while lifting.




What can I do for relief when I've hurt my lower back?























What else can I do for relief?
Heating pads can help to relax painful muscle spasms. Use heat for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Massages may also give relief.



Call your family doctor if:
Pain goes down your leg below your knee
Your leg, foot, groin or rectal area feels numb
You lose control over going to the bathroom
Your pain was caused by an injury
Your pain is so intense you can't move around
Your pain doesn't seem to be getting better after 2 to 3 days



Tips for preventing back strain

• Don't lift by bending over. Lift an object by bending your knees and squatting to pick up the object. Keep your back straight and hold the object close to your body. Avoid twisting your body while lifting.

• Push rather than pull when you must move heavy objects.


• If you must sit at your desk for long hours, break up the time with stops to stretch
  

Tips for preventing back strain
Wear flat shoes or shoes with low heels (1 inch or lower). Exercise regularly. An inactive lifestyle contributes to lower back pain.


What's the best way to sit?
















What's the best position for standing?

• If you must stand for long periods, rest 1 foot on a low stool to relieve pressure on your lower back.

• Every 5 to 15 minutes, switch the foot you're resting on the stool.


• Maintain good posture: Keep your ears, shoulders and hips ina straight line, with your head up and your stomach pulled in.

What's the best position for sleeping?


The best way to sleep is on your side with your knees bent. You may put a pillow under your head to support your neck. You may also put a pillow between your knees.

If you sleep on your back, put pillows under your knees and a small pillow under your lower back. Don't sleep on your stomach unless you put a pillow under your hips.

Proper sleeping positions
What you sleep on can also impact how comfortably you sleep. If adjusting your sleeping position doesn't help reduce pain, try adjusting your sleeping surface. Mattress firmness is an individual choice. It should not be too hard or too soft.

Olives – a Superb Nutrition to Mankind

Olives are one of the oldest foods known to man, dating back some thousands of years in the Mediterranean region. The olive tree was valued as a symbol of peace and happiness and is well-known as a blessed tree. While olives were used as food, olives leaves are widely used for medicinal values and, olive oil are treated as perfect oil for cooking purposes.

Olives are concentrated in monounsaturated fats and a good source of vitamin E. Because monounsaturated fats are less easily damaged than polyunsaturated fats, it’s good to have some in our cells’ outer membranes and other cell structures that contain fats, such as the membranes that surround the cell’s DNA and each of its energy-producing mitochondria. The stability of monounsaturated fats translates into a protective effect on the cell that, especially when combined with the antioxidant protection offered by vitamin E, can lower the risk of damage and inflammation. (In addition to vitamin E, olives contain a variety of beneficial active phytonutrient compounds including polyphenols and flavonoids, which also appear to have significant anti-inflammatory properties.)

It's true that olives do have some fat, but it's the incredibly healthy monounsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats have been found to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and increase HDL (good) cholesterol.

Current research shows there are around 100 naturally occurring compounds in fresh olive leaves. These all work together in ‘natural synergy’ to provide an effective year-round defense system for the olive tree. These compounds include a unique group of powerful polyphenolic antioxidants which are potent scavengers of free-radicals. In simple terms, they defend their cells against attack and damage.

The antioxidants in olive leaf scavenge free-radicals eliminating them before cell damage is done. Olive Leaf does not cure diseases, it is however a cold blooded killer of most pathogens. Once the pathogens have been stunned or killed off, the immune system can rebuild it and cure the disease or get rid of the symptoms. One compound in olive leaf is oleuropein which converts to elenolic acid in the body. The oleuropein and its related sub compounds target viruses and bad bacteria's while relaxing blood vessels.

Nutritional Value of Olives
Given below is the amount of nutrients present in three olives, combined together:
Fat - 2.5
Cholesterol - 0mg
Sodium - 110mg
Carbohydrate - 1g

Avoiding FAST FOOD as much as possible

As the dangers involved in eating Fast Food is very high due to several reasons as listed below, we have to choose an alternative options of avoiding them as much as we can.

Unhealthy processed foods such as French fries, hot dogs, burgers, pizzas, snacks, chips etc. are a potential health threat since they contribute to the increased prevalence of obesity and chronic disease among both developed countries and developing countries.

Obesity is becoming the largest public health concern as we enter the new millenium, especially among children. Obesity increases the risk for high cholesterol and fatty streak development, which translates into greater risk for cardiac disease and cardiovascular related disease such as high Blood Pressure and Diabetes.

One meal at a fast food restaurant may contribute a significant amount of fat and sodium for the day. For example, McDonald’s new Spanish omelet bagel contains 710 calories, 40 grams of fat, 275 mg of cholesterol and 1,520 mg of sodium. High fat diets and bigger portions in combination with decreased physical activity play major roles in the obesity epidemic.

The high salt content of fast foods also has many threats to the health problems associated with high blood pressure, strokes, and kidney function.

Monosodium glutamate (also known Ajinomoto) is in almost all processed foods and certainly in almost all fast food out there. All sorts of medical studies have revealed that Monosodium glutamate causes obesity, along with a lot of other nasty things. It's a chemical we should never put in our bodies, and yet it's something that is in virtually every processed food we buy whether it’s fast food or snacks.

All the techniques used to process food - canning, dehydrating and freezing - virtually destroy the flavor of food, so chemicals under the guise of "natural flavors" have been added to enhance the flavor, while color additives are added to make the foods look fresh. It might make the food look and taste better, but it's not doing much for our bodies
There is little evidence that if children eat fast food on a very limited basis they are going to have dietary or weight problems. The big problem is that most children eat fast food more than once a week.
It is apparent that fast foods are always a temptation because they are widely available, convenient and cheap, but as parents and educators it is important to set examples for children to emulate. Encouraging the consumption of a balanced diet, high in complex carbohydrates such as legumes, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains may result in many health benefits. Parents and teachers can educate and empower children by involving them in creating simple, fun, and creative homemade alternatives.
The key is to limit your intake of fast foods-and choose wisely. Studies show the average fast food meal costs you 1,200 calories, but you can limit these drawbacks by keeping in mind the following guidelines / tips / alternatives:
1. Order grilled chicken sandwiches in place of fried chicken or fried fish sandwiches. Know the fat content of various food choices. For example, choose a grilled chicken sandwich without mayonnaise and a regular order of fries; or have a small hamburger or cheeseburger and skip the fries.
2. Avoid desserts, sweets, milk shakes, pies, etc.
3. To reduce fat calories, omit mayonnaise (one tablespoon=100 calories) add mustard, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles and /or onions as substitutes.
4. Avoid high-calorie beverages, such as regular soft drinks or milk shakes
5. Avoid fried foods. Calories can more than double in deep-fried foods.
6. Cut down on fat in fried foods by removing the outer coating before eating.
7. Order a small cheese pizza with low-calorie vegetables such as green peppers, onions or mushrooms, and eat just two or three pieces. Have a salad / garlic bread to help satisfy your appetite and boost fiber, nutrition and "fullness".
8. Eat lots of lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms. green peppers, carrots, celery and cucumbers.
9. Avoid french fries and opt for other sides like apples or a baked potato.

10. Free yourself from Monosodium Glutamate (Ajinomoto)by cooking at home.

2. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a more serious type caused by hepatitis infection, malnutrition, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and Reye's syndrome.
3. Alcoholic steatosis – The cause is alcohol by abuse.

What are the symptoms?
Fatty liver usually produces no symptoms. Jaundice, right-side abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, fever.
· At more advanced stage, liver becomes cirrhosis
· Cirrhosis refers to scarring of the liver. It replaces healthy tissue.
· Scar tissue cannot do what healthy liver tissue does.
· Scar tissue also blocks the normal flow of blood through the liver.
· Cirrhosis can be life-threatening, but it can also be controlled if treated early.
How is it diagnosed?
• The liver may be tender when the abdomen is pressed.
• Blood tests - for liver function.
• Ultrasound or abdominal CT scan.

What is the treatment?
1. Treatment for fatty liver is aimed at eliminating or treating the cause of the condition.
2. In some cases, fatty liver is reversible if caught early in its development.
3. Pregnancy-related fatty liver is treated by delivering the baby, if viable.
4. Severe liver damage can occur if fatty liver is left untreated. In these cases, the patient may eventually require a liver transplant

Remember they're all chemicals. Cover your skin with gloves, long sleeves, a hat and mask every time insecticides are in the air or if you're handling them.
5. Don't eat too much fatty food! Liver makes the cholesterol your body needs, and it tries to make the right amount. Eat a good, well balanced nourishing diet.
