Damaged Liver ?????? ..Herb that can cure Liver-Blood- And Much More !

                                    

                Picrorhiza kurroa (Kutki)

Picrorhiza kurroa(Kutki) is one of the major income generating non-timber forest products found in the Nepalese Himalayas. It is one of the oldest medicinal plants traded from the Karnali zone. Known as kutki or कुटकी in Nepali, it is a perennial herb and is used as a substitute for Indian gentian.

                                                                    Conservation                                                    

                                                  

In 1997, kutki was listed in appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). This listing resulted ultimately from a request by the Indian government. Overharvesting of the wild species for use as medicine was cited as the main reason for the listing. The species not widely cultivated, though this has been discussed as a potential way to preserve wild stands, especially since the Dunagiri Foundation Trust has created, implemented, and successfully employed protocols to generate export-quality organic ethical 'Dunagiri Certified' Kutki since 2014.

What are the Benefits of Kutki / Picrorhiza Kurroa?

In Indian medicine, Picrorhiza Kurroa is considered a valuable bitter tonic, almost as efficacious as Indian gentian, botanically known as gentian kurroo (nilkenta). It cures periodic attacks of hysteria, epilepsy, and convulsion and promotes the secretion of bile.

Picrorhiza Kurroa is considered an important medicinal plant that is mostly used in the traditional medicinal system for asthma, jaundice, fever, malaria, snakebite, and liver disorders.

It has anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, antimutagenic, cardio-protective, hepato-protective, anti-malarial, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-ulcer, and nephroprotective properties.

Eating Habits: That People Still Think Are Healthy

 

Hello readers!

                        Few facts that we will discuss in this article are most common mistakes that people make while eating or drinking healthy diets.

Let's discuss few of them here,

1. CARROT

Carrots contain a lot of beta-carotene, which your body will convert into vitamin A. But your body will never have excess vitamin A, because the body will only convert beta-carotene into vitamin A when necessary. And unfortunately, eating too much carrot, excess beta-carotene in the body can cause high blood carotene, a disease that will make your skin more yellow. This disease does not cause too much harm and will gradually disappear when the excess carotene is processed, but obviously should not burden the body because of a misconception of eating.

2.Water

Drinking lots of water is good. But too much water can create electrolyte imbalances, due to free sodium and potassium ions being lost by sweating and defecating. Another more extreme consequence is an accumulation of water in the brain that causes it to swell and increase pressure on the skull. Although rare, both cases have been seen in athletes who often feel they need rehydration after a long workout or in people with kidney problems.

3. AVOCADO 

Avocados contain fiber and lots of vitamins. It can also help you lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and maintain your body's cells due to its high content of monounsaturated fat. But. fat is still fat. An avocado contains 240 calories, accounting for about 10% to 20% of the ideal calories of a normal person. Eating too many calories can lead to artery blockage problems. Avocados are also a high FODMAP food, meaning they contain carbohydrates that may not be digested or absorbed well. A person should eat about half or at most 1 avocado per day.

4.BEETROOT 

Beets are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. It also contains lots of nitric oxide which your body will convert into nitrate to help lower blood pressure. But this substance can then be converted into nitrosamine also found in meat, meaning it may increase the risk of causing esophageal or stomach cancer. Because of this, it's best to avoid incorporating large amounts of beets and red meat when cooking.

5. SEAWEED

Seaweed is a rare example of a non-animal product but rich in vitamin B12, making it a great alternative to meat in a vegetarian diet. It has also been promoted as a superfood that can help you lose weight thanks to its high iodine and fiber content. But high amounts of iodine can lead to thyroid problems and even . weight gain. Seaweed may also contain large amounts of heavy metal depending on where it is grown.

6.SOYA and Its Derivatives

Soy foods are rich in nutrients including high quality B vitamins, fiber, potassium, magnesium and protein. It is considered a complete protein because it contains all nine essential amino acids that the body cannot make. But if you are having a recent diet change due to thyroid problems, be careful. Soy may interfere with the hormone drugs used to treat hypothyroidism in female patients. Although studies do not yield conclusive conclusions, it is worth observing carefully.

7.CHIA Seeds

Chia seeds have been sold as a superfood because of their high omega-3 content, so far there is no evidence to suggest their health benefits, especially related to heart disease. circuit. Omega 3s contained in chia seeds are harder to absorb than those offered by salmon, by weight. And most notably, 100 grams of chia seeds contain about 500 calories, the equivalent of a hamburger in a fast food restaurant.

Health benefits of tomatoes 🍅

Few important health benefits of tomatoes

Antioxidant properties

Lycopene is one of the most potent plant-derived antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes are rich source of it. It can help protect DNA, proteins, and lipids from oxidation and promotes cellular resilience and longevity by scavenging free radicals—thus, promoting redox balance.Antioxidants help balance oxidative stress activity, creating cellular harmony in the body.

Heart-health benefits

Consuming tomatoes and tomato products has yielded cardioprotective benefits, specifically, improving LDL-cholesterol, cytokine, and blood flow, while lycopene supplementation has been shown to promote a healthy systolic blood pressure.

Skin benefits

At some point, you've probably been told to use a topical vitamin C or antioxidant serum on your skin to slow down natural aging and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. As it turns out, researchers have found that lycopene and beta-carotene are the main carotenoids (aka antioxidants) found in both skin and plasma, which explains why they're often used in skin care products. 

If you're wondering if loading up on tomatoes during summertime is a natural replacement for sunblock, it's important to note that lycopene offers minimal sun protection

Eye health benefits

You've probably heard that carrots are good for your eyes at some point. As it turns out, beta-carotene doesn't have a monopoly on that health benefit, and there's another carotenoid in town. Yes, lycopene (and lutein and zeaxanthin) promotes eye health and visual acuity.

Remember, lycopene has anti-inflammatory properties and reduces oxidative stress, which both contribute to the health and function of our eyes. Additionally, lycopene has been shown to support vision in aging adults—so you can add this carotenoid to your longevity toolbox.

Brain health benefits

Evidence shows that lycopene and other carotenoids play supporting roles in brain health and neuroprotection.* Research indicates that lycopene can promote cognition and memory, largely due to its antioxidant properties and ability to reduce oxidative stress in tissue.* Its neuroprotective effects also include helping to balance levels of cytokines (proteins that signal the immune system).*

Higher dietary intake of lycopene is associated with cognitive health maintenance while aging, and many studies demonstrate this phytonutrient helps balance oxidative stress as we age as well

Bone health :- 

Nutritional studies show diets high in fruits and vegetables—particularly antioxidant-rich produce—have a positive effect on bone mineral status. Specific studies on lycopene reveal that increased lycopene intake results in increased total-body bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD)—two imaging measures of bone health.

Yoga for acidity or acid reflux

Healthy living: Yoga poses to treat acidity

According to research published in the National Institutes of Health, practising yoga was shown to help regulate and/or alleviate symptoms connected to digestive disorders, such as acid reflux.

Acid reflux or acidity is a prevalent ailment which develops when the stomach generates too much acid. Food breakdown happens typically by the acid caused by the stomach, but occasionally the stomach’s acid production goes overboard, producing an excess of acid.

“Proper chewing of food, drinking enough water, and stopping smoking are essential for those with acid reflux or heartburn; otherwise, it may make the condition worse. Along with a few other naturopathic remedies, yoga may help reduce acidity in the digestive system and effectively treat acid reflux,” said Dr G Prakash, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Jindal Naturecure Institute.

Studies have indicated that people who experience acid reflux report stress as a key contributing factor to their acid reflux symptoms. According to research published in the National Institutes of Health, practising yoga was shown to help regulate and/or alleviate symptoms connected to digestive disorders, such as acid reflux.

Paschimottanasana, or the Forward bend position,

It is helpful for promoting better function of abdominal organs. Because of its holistic benefits, the pose cures digestive issues like acidity, which are connected to an imbalanced digestive system. This asana also helps in regulating the menstrual cycle and reducing abdominal fat.

Halasana (Plow Pose)

Halasana is known as the plough posture as the phrase “Hala” is Sanskrit for “plough”, and “asana” means “pose” in Sanskrit. It has the ability to increase flexibility, strength, and the spinal muscles as well. It’s an efficient way to relieve tension in the shoulders and back muscles as well.

Vajrasana (Thunderbolt Pose, or Diamond Pose)

This is a fairly easy yoga posture that may be practised either after lunch or dinner. This asana is one of the best for acidity since it improves digestive function, reduces bloating, and helps to alleviate abdominal discomfort. Also known as the “diamond pose,” Vajrasana is a good meditation and breathing posture for cultivating tranquilly.

Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose)

It is another powerful posture for reducing acidity, and as such, is quite useful for healing digestive issues, such as constipation and gas. It also massages the intestines and other organs in the belly and strengthens the lower back and abdominal muscles. It has other benefits, such as improving circulation in the hip joints and easing stress in the lower back.

Ushtrasana (Camel pose)

The practice of Ushtrasana helps to promote digestion by stimulating the abdominal organs. It increases the strength and flexibility in the chest, belly, and neck and also aids in better blood flow to the pelvic area and the brain. In order to allow for better capacity in the lungs and chest, this asana is beneficial. This asana also releases stress from the abdominal area, further treating acidity.

Kapal Bhati Pranayama (Breath of Fire Technique)

This breathing technique generates body heat, which then breaks down waste materials and toxins stored in the body, most especially in the stomach region, thereby lowering acidity. It has the additional benefit of increasing your lung capacity, making them stronger.

Naturopathy tips for healing acidity and gas.

While yoga may be a fantastic cure for stomach and acidity issues, it’s helpful to include some easy dietary modifications and good eating habits to get visible improvement in overall gastrointestinal health.

It is recommended that rather than drinking an ounce of water, drink lots of it. And don’t rely on only water. Instead, drink green tea, fruit juices, lime water, and fruit smoothies, coconut water instead. This will assist you to lower your chances of developing heartburn since it will lessen the acidity in your stomach.

Spicy food is often related to increased acidity. People with acidity have to be extra careful while making meals with red sauce, vinegar, or similar foods since they may do quite some damage. Instead, increase your consumption of fresh fruits and raw vegetables, which have greater water content and nutritional value.

Eating at irregular hours also often leads to acidity. And so, naturopaths also advise eating meals on time and not skipping meals.

Additionally, people should avoid eating too much or too little since these actions may lead to an imbalance in the body. Eating modest portions throughout the day instead of one or two large meals can help ensure that you are getting enough nutrition. Thus, not only is it a beneficial habit to relieve acidity, but also for maintaining a healthy lifestyle overall

FEW EARLY SLEEPING HACKS

Sleeping is as important ans earning wages for living, proper sleeping results in healthy life and hormonal balance in body.

Here are few hacks with which you can sleep early and make yourself healthy, wealthy and wise .

1. Military method of falling asleep

One of the most popular ways to do so is by following the Military method. The sleep hack was first designed by the US Navy Pre-Flight school to help pilots fall asleep in less than 2 minutes twice, no matter what distractions are present. It is also said to help put people to sleep even if they are sitting up!

To fall asleep the military way, focus on relaxing your facial muscles. Drop your shoulders and release the tension, dropping your hands to the side. Now, deep exhale, relaxing your chest. Relax your thighs, legs and calves. Imagine a real calming visual imagery and with time, you will find yourself asleep! The more times you practice, the better you get at this and would be able to fall asleep faster.

2.  The 4-7-8 method 

This popular method of falling asleep focuses on muscle relaxation primarily and sleep faster. It's also referred to as a breathing method that combines the power of meditation and visualization.

To do so, start by placing the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Purse your lips and the tongue should remain so. Now, gently part lips and begin to exhale through the mouth. Close your lips, inhaling through the mouth. Count to 4 and hold your breath for 7 seconds. Exhale again, doing so for a good 8 seconds.

The aim is to try to be mindful of your actions and not remain too 'alert'. Complete this 4-7-8 cycle for at least four full breaths. You will find your body enter a relaxed, calmer state of mind and willing to go to sleep.

Note, if you have an underlying respiratory condition, check with your doctor beforehand to try this, since this could increase the severity of some of your symptoms.

3. Progressive muscle relaxation 

Here's another science-backed strategy to help you go to sleep easy. This hack focuses on easing and relaxing the tension in your muscles, which would then promote an aura of relaxation through the body. It also often is recommended to people suffering from insomnia.

To try this, arch your eyebrows as high as possible for at least 5 seconds. This will create some tension in your forehead. Relax the muscles immediately and wait for at least 10 seconds. Similarly, create some tension in your cheeks by smiling widely. Hold for a few seconds. Now pause. In the same manner, start progressing down downwards and create a tensing-relaxing measure all over your body. This routine would release all stress and let your body fall asleep naturally.

4. Paradoxical intention 

There's another way of naturally falling asleep, especially if you experience sleep problems or insomnia very frequently.

The aim of this experiment is to help your body unwind, by forcing the body to do just the exact opposite. Basically, paradoxical intention focuses on telling your body to stay awake intentionally to fall asleep faster. It may be an untraditional method of falling asleep, but science says that this method can help you sleep faster than any other method, and is in fact, more effective than other methods.

What else you can do . . 

Besides these scientific methodologies, you can do a lot more to promote better sleep and fall asleep faster. A lot of the basic tweaks need to come from your lifestyle and diet. If you can, stop using stimulants and triggers like caffeine a few hours before retiring for bed. They negatively impact your sleep. Avoiding eating heavy food at night may also be a good way to rest your digestive system and sleep better. Instead, go for soothing teas and concoctions which help you relieve stress, anxiety and feel better.

You can also try visualizing a calm place or a scene to clear your thoughts. For a lot of people, visualization, or imagery distraction works a lot easier than traditional methods like counting.

There are also methods like acupressure, holistic healing which can be given a try. Of course, they need to be done regularly under the expertise of a trained professional.

Try and also maintain proper sleep hygiene in the room that you sleep often. From clearing away the clutter, keeping the room cool, freeing away gadgets and screens from the bed or using aromatherapy, there are a lot of hacks that could potentially help you sleep better. Taking a warm, soothing bath, or even wearing socks to sleep can also help.

PROTEIN IMPORTANCE IN BODY

 Now a days the trend is going on that people are using protein powders to build their body or to increase their stamina but few people are aware about the disadvantages of its over dose.

In this article we will first discuss about the function and advantages of protein in body and later the disadvantages of its over dose.

 IMPORTANCE OF PROTEIN IN HUMAN BODY :-

Excluding water and fat, the entirely  human body is made up of protein. Protein is the main component of muscle, bone, organ, skin and nails. Excluding water the muscles are made up of 80% of protein, making this nutrient very important for the human body.

HOW IS PROTEIN USED IN HUMAN BODY:-

The body break down the protein into amino acid  and absorbs it. It is used to build muscles and organs and to make hormones and antibodies.

HOW MUCH PROTEIN DOES THE BODY NEED:

The daily maximum amount of protein a body should get is 2gms/kg of body weight.Consuming more will not increase synthesis but increase the amount consumed as energy and lead to an increase in body fat. Too much of protein can also burden lever and kidney.

* It is important to adjust the amount of protein you consume everyday.

*If you eat three well balanced meals a day, you should easily be able to acquire the amount of protein your body needs. The important thing is not only how much you eat, but also what you eat and  when you eat it.

CONSUMING PROTEIN AND CARBOHYDRATE TOGETHER:-

When protein is consumed along with carbohydrates (sugar or glucose), blood sugar rises and insulin is produced, promoting amino acid synthesis.
Carbohydrates are also used as the first energy source, preventing the use of amino acids. After exercise, it is a good idea to have something like a jelly drink that allows you to consume both carbohydrates and protein at the same time.

WHEN TO CONSUME PROTEIN:-

It is important to consume protein at the right time. The ideal time to consume it is immediately after exercise.
The body breaks down protein faster immediately following exercise, and also synthesizes it more actively, leading to more amino acids being absorbed into the muscles.

  

OVERDOSE OF PROTEIN:-

Weight gain 

bad breathe 

constipation

Diarrhea

Dehydration

Kidney damage

Increasing cancer risk

Heart disease

LEMON WATER :- HEALTH BENEFITS.

 

Lemon has always remained a useful fruit in the  world since the ancient times, many countries prepare their dishes which include lemon and in the same way this fruit is also being used in India since many years.

People are using this miraculous fruit or we can say citreous fruit for many health benefits also,

so here in this blog we are discussing the most important benefits of this boon we have on our planet.

LEMON WATER 

 

With the changing world the diet issues of people are also changing, now a days people are using many methods to maintain their fitness level and they are moving towards the ancient methods which were used by our ancestors.

And since the ancient times Lemon water played a very important role to improve health problems, few are listed below :-

1. It promotes hydration

According to the Food and nutrition board, general guidelines say that women should get at least 91 ounces per day and men should get at least 125 ounces. This includes water from food and drinks.Water is the best beverage for hydration, but some people don’t like the taste of it on its own. Adding lemon enhances water’s flavor, which may help you drink more.

2. It’s a good source of vitamin C

Citrus fruits like lemons are high in vitamin C, a primary antioxidant that helps protect cells from damaging free radicals. You’ve probably heard that vitamin C may help prevent or limit the duration of the common cold in some people, but studies are conflicting.

Vitamin C may reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, and lower blood pressure.

While lemons don’t top the list of citrus fruits high in vitamin C, they’re still a good source. According to the United States Department of Agriculture Trusted Source, the juice of one lemon provides about 18.6 milligrams of vitamin C. The recommended daily amount for adults is 65 to 90 milligrams.  

3. It supports weight loss

Research has shown that antioxidants found in lemons significantly reduces weight gain in mice that are overfed in order to induce obesity.

In these mice studies, the antioxidant compounds also offset the negative effects on blood glucose levels and improved insulin resistance, the two main factors in the development of type 2 diabetes.

While the same results need to be proven in humans, anecdotal evidence is strong that lemon water supports weight loss. Whether this is due to people simply drinking more water and feeling full or the lemon juice itself is unclear.

4. It improves your skin quality

Vitamin C found in lemons may help reduce skin wrinkling, dry skin from aging, and damage from the sun. How water improves skin is controversial, but one thing is certain. If your skin loses moisture, it becomes dry and prone to wrinkles. A 2016 laboratory study showed that a citrus-based drink helped prevent the development of wrinkles in hairless mice.

5. It aids digestion

Some people drink lemon water as a daily morning laxative to help prevent costipation. Drinking warm or hot lemon water when you wake up may help get your digestive syst moving.

Ayurvedic medicine says the sour lemon taste helps stimulate your “agni.” In ayurvedic medicine, a strong agni jump-starts the digestive system, allowing you to digest food more easily and helping to prevent the buildup of toxins.

6. It freshens breath

Have you ever rubbed a lemon on your hands to get rid of the smell of garlic or some other strong odor? The same folk remedy may apply to bad breath caused by eating foods with strong smells such as garlic, onions, or fish.

You might avoid bad breath by drinking a glass of lemon water after meals and first thing in the morning. Lemon is thought to stimulate saliva and water also helps prevent a dry mouth, which can lead to bad breathe caused by bacteria.

7. It helps prevent kidney stones

The citric acid in lemons may help prevent kidney stones. Citrate, a component of citric acid, paradoxically makes urine less acidic and may even break up small stones. Drinking lemon water not only gets you citrate, but also the water you need to help prevent or flush out stones.

These were the few major uses of lemon water we have seen, now lets see a method to prepare lemon water:-

How to make lemon water

In order to reap any health benefits of lemon water, you need drink it consistently, and you need more than just a single wedge of lemon in your mug.

When making lemon water, always use fresh lemons rather than artificial lemon from a bottle.

To make lemon water, squeeze half a lemon into 8 ounces of warm or cold water. To make the drink as healthy as possible, use filtered water and organic lemons.

Infuse more flavor or add a health boost to lemon water by adding:

• a few springs of mint
• a teaspoon raw honey
• a slice of fresh ginger
• a dash of cinnamon
• a sprinkle of turmeric

You can also add slices of other fresh citrus fruits such as limes and oranges, or cucumber slices. Always wash the produce well before slicing and using.

Having lemon ice cubes on hand is a great way to add lemon to your water fast. Simply squeeze fresh lemon juice into ice cube trays and freeze. Drop a few cubes into a glass of cold or hot water as needed.

You can start your morning with a mug of warm lemon water, and keep a pitcher of water infused with a few sliced lemons in your refrigerator to drink throughout the day.

so its a request to you all that start this method from today and you will see the result within 21 days but remember not to use too much lemon for daily use, keep it limited and stay healthy.

lemon water is a miracle and replace it with morning tea or any juice that you love to take.

stay healthy and stay blessed
