How Digestive System Works ?

Process of Digestive System 

The human digestive system is being processed through the following steps :

Digestion starts right from the teeth. Teeth breakdowns and crushes the food into small pieces so that it can fit down our throats.

The second steps is about the salivary gland which is located underneath the back of our tongue. It creates our saliva. This softens the food in the mouth so that it is easier to swallow. Saliva is also the first of several chemicals that start to break down foods into simpler forms.

Afterwards the tongue ,works with the food and saliva to form into a small piece so that it can be swallowed. The tongue also contains taste buds that helps us tell the difference between salty, sour, sweet, and bitter foods.

Fourth step involves esophagus which is simply a transportation tube from the mouth to the stomach. While we swallow, what happens is closing at the shaft present inside the throat called the epiglottis. Epiglottis sends food down the esophagus and prevents food from going down the trachea and into our lungs. Food moves down the esophagus using muscles not gravity.

Once the food gets to the stomach the stomach uses chemicals to try to make the food tinier. These chemicals are called gastric juices and the include hydrochloric acid and enzymes. The food is moved around in the stomach and mixed with the chemicals for about 3 or 4 hours. When it is done in the stomach, the food is now a cream-like liquid call chime. Now a valve at the end of the stomach opens sending the food past the liver.

The liver makes a chemical called bile but bile is not stored in the liver. Instead it is stored in the gall bladder. When the gall bladder mixes bile with our food, it does an important job: breaking down the fat (from milk, butter, cheeses) into tiny droplets. This fat will supply us with much energy later.

Pancreas- The pancreas also adds a digestive chemical as the food leaves the stomach. This digestive juice works on breaking down the carbohydrates (from breads, potatoes, etc.) and the proteins (from meats, cereals, peanut butter).

The small intestine is the major player of the digestive system. Its a tube that is about 22 feet long and at this place the real digestion takes place. As the food passes through, it is mixed with the new chemicals and thus our food is now digested small enough to be put to use by the body. Blood vessels in the villi can absorb the tiny food molecules and send them off to the rest of our body through the blood.

Large Intestine- The food particles which cant be used inside the body are sent to large intestines. The main task of the large intestine is to remove water. Water has been necessary up until now but it is no longer needed and in the large intestine water is sent into the blood stream . Food spends about 12 hours in the large intestine where it become feces and later leaves the body through the anal opening when we go to the bathroom.

Digestive Enzymes assist the body in the breakdown of food. Different enzymes with different functions are produced in particular areas of the digestive tract. Incomplete digestion may be a contributing factor in the development of many ailments including flatulence, bloating, belching, food allergies, nausea, bad breath, bowel problems and stomach disorders. Digestive enzymes are primarily responsible for the chemical breakdown of food and constitute a large portion of digestive secretions. The human body makes approximately 22 different enzymes that are involved in digestion.

Ptyalin ,Amylase, Betaine, Bromelain, Pepsin, Gastric amylase ,Gelatinase, Rennin Gastric lipase, Pancreatic lipase ,Phospholipase, Trypsin,Steapsin, Chymotrypsin    , Carboxypeptidase, Pancreatic amylase, Elastases, Nucleases, Sucrase, Maltase, Lactase, Isomaltase are the different types of enzymes.

Use Your Cell Phones Wisely and Effectively !!!

Mobile Phone Causes Cancer

Dear Readers ,

Its time for me to have a glance of various issues related to the cell phone, its uses but more than that its health issues. Primarily I would like to mention that nowdays people speak for hours and hours in cell phone and the more they speak they get addicted but has anyone thought about the after effects of the cell phone, imagine how much money you are losing, for certain individuals people is not a matter but what about your health. If you think you are using the cell phone beyond the limits its high time you got to read this article. Please give inputs and your valuable suggestions and opinions. I would like to raise a polling on the number of hours people use cell phones. Please rate it accordingly.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            Coming to the discussion of the uses and health issues mobile phones has a heavy transmission of radio frequency energy in the form electromagnetic radiation that are being absorbed by nearby tissues i.e where the phone is being kept into contact Eg: if kept near the chest or inside your pockets, the nearby areas of chest gets affected by various radiations.

The quality and technology plays a key role in the amount of transmitting radiations. Well, as you all know people prefer high class and high tech smart phones, with best known feature etc… but it has an opposite side wherein the more you use, the more fast you die. The distance between the phone’s antenna and the user, distance between the mobile phone user and cell phone tower, time you take to finish the conversation etc… all plays a key role in having serious health issues.  I came to know that cell phone causes brain tumor, damage to brain and its related organs, cancer and sometimes even death from various sources like (Doctors, ENT`s,  Phyisicians, IT professionals, Students etc….) 

There is also a significant increase in the number of people getting affected with brain cancer using handheld phone rather than those using non handheld devices. The risk of acoustic neuroma, a benign tumour of the auditory nerve that is well in range of the radiation coming from a phone's antenna. Radio waves at the radiation level of mobile phones may increase the permeability of the so-called blood-brain barrier. The blood-brain barrier regulates the passing of material between the bloodstream and brain cells. Possible changes are, however, minimal and disappear quickly when the radiation stops. But the risk of neuro  epithelial tumours on the outside of the brain are increasing higher in case of cell phone users as compared to people who did not use cell phones.

You might be wondering how U can prevent it. Follow the below mentioned steps:

You might perceive that how can I communicate each other without phone, why they produce and sell phones in the markets. And how about the benefits which are offered in these phone. Cell phones are very easy and fast in order to get connected with your loved ones. And it doesn’t seem like cell phones are going to disappear and the convenience of using them are also making people to get addicted and its very tempting to have the use of cellphones. Therefore what we have to do is to understand the technology and realize its harmful effects so that we can protect ourselves from various health hazards of  cell phones. Please note the following and implement this in your life.

1)    Use Bluetooth headset wherever possible as it will deliver lower levels of microwave radiation than your cell phone,

2)    Maintain distance from you and your phone when you don’t need it especially in the night keep as far as you can and this in turn leads to decline in radiation levels.

3)    Try to use an external antenna  when using your cell phone from inside your car. 

4)    The longer you use your phone, the more you are being exposed to radiation. Hence its better to use the cell phone only when needed

5)    When you give a call and you are waiting for the other person to answer the call that time your cellphone is sending out its maximum signal ! Try to not place your cell phone to your head during this phase of the call.

6)    Keep activating speakerphone mode during the call. but good rather than keeping phone close to ears.

7)    Please don’t keep the phone near to you for the whole day.

8)    Try to use your phone when you have the maximum number of bars, indicating the best reception. When signal quality is poor, your phone emits more radiation.

9)    Don’t use your cell phone in elevators, cars, trains or planes. Cell phones draw more power, and causes more radiation.

10) Send out SMS, or use IM, Whatsapp, Voxer wherever possible. The more away you place your phone from your body, the better

FIRST AID FOR HEADACHE

                                                                   

Have you ever thought about the reason of headaches? I think this would be the right time to have a thought on that and prevent your body with the help of various remedial action.

Headaches usually occur frequently or occasionally for a person, it differs from a person to person due to his age, working and living environment, due to stress in his / her work or because of mensuration. Sometimes headaches also arises when you wake up in the morning and even sometimes you outside for some routine activites which might be related to work or household purposes that too in the very hot sun or in the afternoon.

But  instead I would recommend you to have ginger tea in the early morning and also in the evening . You might be wondering how can you prepare that !  I would surely help you out. Take a piece of ginger, peal off the skin as its very poisonous, make it in the form of paste, put it in the boiled water, add jaggery  according to your taste and leave it boil for 5 mins. But make sure you never add sugar for that. This tea can be taken in the morning. But in the evening try to make out dry ginger tea (Otherwise Sukku in Tamil), follow all the above steps as I already mentioned and also add coriander seeds powder into that and consume. A person who regularly takes these steps will never have issues related to headaches etc…

I would like to share the benefits of Ginger Tea:

  

v  Ginger tea helps to  soothen your nerves and prevent vomiting, and also Ginger tea also helps in perfect digestion, thereby improving food absorption. Dry Ginger tea enhances your appetite and helps to release gastric acids that aid in digestion

v  Ginger tea can ease inflammation of the joints, which is commonly referred to as rheumatoid arthritis.  

v  Any diseases such as cold and cough, ginger tea forms a part of medicinal treatment.  Consuming a cup of ginger tea can help improve blood flow, as well as help prevent chills, fever and excessive sweating.

This can help improve your mood .It makes you feel refreshed and calm, and is also a stress reliever because of its comforting and relaxing scent.

v  Helps to cure ulcer , internal intestine and several internal organs. Dry ginger tea also helps to maintain the temperature inside the stomach and any excess of temperature shall be sent out immediately. The heat and gas present inside the body damages organs adversely.

v  Consumption of ginger tea also helps to eradicate or clean the wound during the time of accident, any external injury & surgery.

HEALTHY FOODS FOR SUMMER

Dear Viewers,                                                                                                                             Nowadays its been very hot in various parts of the country, it would be good if I could share my views and opinions on various eatables to be avoided during the summer and even junk & fast foods, aerated drinks etc..  I would like to specifically mention about the pros and cons of various food items as shall start with the food items which you have to avoid and finally about the top eatables for this summer.

Junk food or Fast Food is ain't foods which you obtain or procure from fast food restaurants, street sellers, hotels  etc… it also includes foods such as potato chips, lays, fried bakery items. Foods with sugar such as packaged cupcakes, pastry are also junk food. Foods that are very rich in saturated fats, sodium as well as refined sugar mainly provide little amount of nutritional value or sometimes nil . Saturated fats and trans fats, which are mainly found in fast food, gets secreted throughout your body and can lead to increase in fat contents in your blood, and results in high blood pressure, cholesterol etc... These items can also become a part for causing heart disease, chest pain and other diseases. These food items are highly rich in calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate and related to salt and these require more enzymes to digest properly but it never gets secreted.

Due to excessive usage of salt in these foods , after consumption once it enters in your body that can result in water retention and this finally lead to BP, Urinary Infection. The body requires a small intake of sodium to function properly, around 2400 milligrams a day. When it exceeds the 2400 milligrams it leads to trouble and serious illness. The kidneys cannot properly convert the excess to waste, resulting in edema and kidney disease. And basically the chips , lays , kurkure etc.. includes large amount of carbohydrates and various foods like mixtures, sweets, cakes are also made with the help of Ajinomoto, which helps the company increase their revenue, but people don’t know its getting addicted.

Refined sugar is slowly associated tooth decay because sugar breaks down calcium. This means excess sugar not only causes cavities, and but also makes decay of tooth very easily. Excess of sugar enters the bloodstream as fatty acids, which the body stores as fat. Eating too much sugar makes you fat. This fatty items is very difficult to burn off and can ultimately result in obesity, heart disease and other health issues.

 Though many people enjoy eating junk food , fast foods, soft drinks as it tastes great, the health consequences can be serious, and can results in constipation, urinary problems, kidney issues etc.. and even  as I had mentioned earlier about calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate it can lead to crackdown of gall bladder as these enzymes deposits and turns into gall bladder stones. A few examples of foods often considered to be junk food include fast food, sweets such as ice cream, prepackaged treats, soda, and potato chips, tetra pack fruit juices etc…..

Many people skip breakfast or other meals throughout the day, choosing instead to grab a quick snack or a soft drink. In addition, junk food can cause moodiness, and makes it difficult to get enough sleep at night and due to lack of proper sleep tiredness, lazy moods, etc.. arises in the very next day morning

People who eat a lot of junk food tend to gain weight quickly, which can lead to obesity over time this extra weight then has an impact on the health of the rest of the body. Eating junk food and soft drinks can cause one to develop heart strokes, insulin resistance, which is one of the risk factors for diabetes, BP etc…

There are few food items or drinks which i would like to mention are tender coconut which are in red color have huge amount of glucose , Nanari syrup, Lemon Sarbath ,Watermelon juice, Tulasi Tea, Herbal, hibiscus tea, coriander tea, etc…Please try to avoid sugar instead add more honey and jaggery.

WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Dear Readers ,

It would be good enough to point some articles related to upcoming festival celebrated in Kerala and Tamilnadu.

As the new year waves off this would become the foundation upon which everything that comes after that.. The position of the stars and planets are also taken into consideration to ensure auspicious beginnings for the whole year. Homas are performed and stotrams are chanted to Lord Ganesha in order to remove potential obstacles before the start of any undertaking. Prayers to God are always offered. When people study the Upanishads, which declare the only true power to be our own Self, shanti mantras are chanted before beginning each session of study.

Nowadays in Kerala, Vishu gives a sign of start to the Zodiac New Year, when the sun 

enters into Sidereal Aries, Ashwini Nakshatra. It’s a principle followed in 

everyone`s 

residence that, when a person wakes up in the morning and opens their eyes on Vishu 

morning, its an indication of what one can expect in the year to come. In Kerala, 

people practice one small function called Vishukkani / Vishukineetam. The word Kani 

referred here literally means ‘that which is seen first’ — so Vishukkani means that 

which is seen first on Vishu. Thus, on Vishu, people always ensure that they open 

their eyes to an auspicious image of the Vishukkani, first thing in the morning. The 

Malayalam word kani literally means "that which is seen first so "Vishukkani" means "that which is seen first on Vishu."

In Kerala, this day would be celebrated Vishnu , but across India festivals there are destinations sharing the same amount of joy and happiness likewise Ugadhi celebrated in Andhra Pradesh and in Karnataka, Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra , Tamil New Year in Tamilnadu by same time every year.

Vishukanni is being kept in the pooja room the night before by the mother in the family and in the very early morning its been showed to entire family and are also given vishukkineetam which can be in form of gold coins, money or some gifts etc…The Vishukkani includes a series of auspicious items, including images of Lord Vishnu, flowers, fruits and vegetables, clothes, and gold coins.

Lord Vishnu, the preserver of creation, is the aspect of the Paramatman that is focused upon during Vishu. As per Indian astrology, Vishnu is seen as the head of Kaala Purusha, (the God of Time). As Vishu marks the first day of the Zodiac New Year, it is an appropriate time to offer oblations to Lord Vishnu.

Newly bought and well-starched cloth is then pleated fan-like and inserted into a highly polished brass kindi. The val-kannadi, a special type of mirror with an extremely long and thin handle, often decorated with gold, is also inserted into the Kindi. The kindi is then placed in the uruli on top of the rice.

Two deepams, are kept in pieces of coconut which is made into two halves by spliting coconut,& are also kept in the Uruli. The bulbs are placed into the coconut oil that fills the deepams, anchoring the wicks in place.. The lighting of the deepam welcomes God into our lives and symbolizes spiritual knowledge—the remover of the darkness of ignorance.

There are various items like Silver, Currency Notes , Jewellery, Gold in color and coins are kept in the centre of vishukanni. Kanikkonna, a golden-yellow flower associated with Sri Krishna is used liberally throughout the pooja room. This flower only blooms when the sun is in its most exalted position astrologically. In the pooja room, the flower gives virtual imagination of the sun itself, the eyes of Lord Vishnu. Gold coins are symbols of monetary affluence, as well as cultural and spiritual wealth, which the elders of the family must share freely with the younger generation.

The Vishukkani will also be laden with gold-coloured fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, jackfruit, golden cucumber, etc. The akshatam, as it is full of turmeric, also is gold in colour, as is the shiny brass of the kindi, And the val-kannadi the mirror captures the whole Vishukanni. Various spiritual book, such as the Bhagavad-Gita, Ramayana, Mahabarata should be made part of the entire arrangement. The book is called as the Pramanam in Malayalam language as it is an instrument used for attaining the eternal, non-perishable wisdom of the Rishis as well as knowledge.

Upon opening one's eyes, one is overwhelmed with the glorious darshan of the Lord. The mirror which is a symbolic of Devi, not only increases the lustre of the Vishukkani via the reflection it offers, but also shows our own face, reminding us that God is not someone sitting in the heavens upon a golden throne. The mirror also points out the importance of making our mind pure and fresh on this auspicious occasion.

Vishukkanni is also brought outside and shown to the family cows. As it is brought to the cowshed, it in fact is on display for the birds, the trees, for all of nature to see. I recommend you to plant a sapling of Kannikonna available in Kerala and respective nurseries which gives such a brightness of yellow color around the residence.

SMARTER STUDIES FOR SMARTER KIDS

Does your child have any problem in concentrating and doing his home work? Do you find your child with a dreamy expression on his face when he is supposed to be studying? Children are beginning to explore the world around them. They are learning to think and analyze the cause and effect. Things that may seem mundane to the adult eye are new and wonderful for children. Therefore, they tend to be distracted by the things and happenings around them. However, there are many things you can do to help your child to attain a better concentration levels. There are few set of guidelines to be adopted to achieve out best results i.e :

Set a routine. Set aside a specific time for waking up, having breakfast, and going to school, playtime, study time and dinner. Once your child establishes a routine, he will find it easier to concentrate on his work because he knows that this is the time you have allotted for work and nothing else.

Make sure that the room in which your child sits down to study and do his homework, is one where there is no distraction. Let him read aloud if he feels it will help him from becoming distracted.

Don’t let younger siblings, especially infants play near the room where your school going child studies. Their cries and infant babble may be a big distraction for your child.

Look up the topic which your child is working on and capture his interest by sharing interesting and informative facts with him. Provide kids with small notepads or writing pads which should be attractive with colors and fun related pages.

Make dull topics interesting by playing quizzes and memory games.If your child feels sleepy or hungry, he may not be able to concentrate well so make sure he is not hungry or tired.

Sometimes children tend to lose interest in a particular subject when they fail at it. Encourage your child to persevere. For this, you must show him that you have full confidence in his abilities and that you will help him in any way you can.

If your child needs extra help, offer to help him out or arrange for tuition. Once he begins to understand and master the subject, he will begin to concentrate on his work.

It is a good idea to let your child study along with his peers who are good academic performers. By doing this, your child can pick up tips and ideas from his friends.

Be patient when you deal with your child. Yelling at him or scolding him when your find him distracted will only serve to make him frustrated.

Let your child take short breaks while studying. This will help your child to refresh his mind and memory. Let him take a 10 minute break after 1 or 2 hours of studying.

There are several activities which can help to improve your child’s concentration. Here are a few:

• Read a story to your child and ask him questions related to it. This will help sharpen his memory too.
• When you study anything, we can see through various dimensions i.e Brains, Eyes, Ears, etc… Close your eyes and read or write in your mind by concentrating 100% , he/she never forgets.
• Ask your child about his day. This way, he will make an attempt to recall the events and actions of his day and this in turn will help improve his memory and concentration.
• Count numbers or their multiples and skip one or two in between. Ask your child to find the missing number.
• Strange as it sounds, tongue twisters also help improve concentration. Your child has to listen with great attention to decipher the tongue twister you say. This will teach him to concentrate.
• Lack of concentration is not a problem that is impossible to solve. These few tips should help you assist your child to overcome the problem of low concentration levels and sharpen his memory and learning skills.
• Nowadays mobile phones are getting misused instead of that when they study let them record it and keep handy when they want, they can easily take and use it I.e Playback the audio clip etc….

MORE TREES, MORE OXYGEN, LONG - LASTING LIFE

Plant Trees, Planned Life

Dear Readers,

Does anyone of you thought about saving trees, how does in turn contribute to human life and existence in this world ? Do you know how much green surface area is required to provide for your daily oxygen intake that you breathe from air? Check it out with the help of this article ? Can`t we just plant enough of trees indoor and outdoor? Don’t it save ourselves from the danger of pollution and global warming? 

 Here I would like to ponder some few facts about trees, and various inititatives to be taken to protect our global environment.

There's are enormous ways to save trees. Trees are crucial to our environmental system and need to be taken care of as much as possible. They come with an unlimited number of benefits to our world. If we try to save trees, our air will remain clean of impurities. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, pollutants, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, allowing us to breathe clean oxygen.

A mature tree will produce as much oxygen for 10 people in one year. There are many benefits we can gain if we try to save trees. They provide us with noise barriers and create shade to cool the hot weather. Places can get up to 6 degrees hotter when there are no trees to block the sun. In the winter, they block the cold force of wind.

Trees help cleanse the air by intercepting airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. They also become very effective as stone walls in stopping sound. They muffle urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Trees, planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house, can mitigate major noises from crowded roads, railway stations and airports. A mature leafy tree, in a few months, produces as much oxygen as that required by 10 people for one year.

A tree can absorb and stop CO2 Emissions, and other harmful gases which warm the environment. An urban forest is a carbon storage area that can lock up as much carbon.Therefore it becomes a dustbin for harmful gases.

Hey what about cooling environment and a shade for you. You will be just wondering when you walk in very hot climate, we will think if some trees are being planted I can protect me from Suntan or Hot. If we take up initiatives to plant more and more trees around our house, we can reduces the necessity for fan, coolers and air conditioning in summer. This can also save energy consumption as day by day the EB Bills are also burdening the common man. In winter, trees break the force of winter winds. This protects houses, farmland and vegetation.

It also prevent soil erosion, conserve rainwater, and reduce water runoff and sediment deposit after storms. Trees help in lowering the dust levels and pollution levels in the cities. In Coimbatore, specially the areas near to RS Puram, Race Course etc…. are well planted with bunch of trees and it provides such a good atmosphere to have a walk with family or for getting best quality of oxygen with pollution free environment.

Trees can`t communicate like we human being do. Can I ask you something what if somebody cuts your hand? What will be your reaction on that ! Just think on it for a minute.

You cry out of pain, the same way it happens for trees they don’t communicate orally likewise we do. They are also like us they work non-stop 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without a single second's break more than what human does. There is a very common process evolved with trees called Photosynthesis whereby it absorbs harmful carbon dioxide and releases several thousands of rupees worth of life- giving oxygen free of cost.

The absorption of carbon dioxide that is a 'Green House' gas helps slow down Global Warming. If there is a steep depletion of forest cover, then the quantity of oxygen in the air is sure to go down. Eg : if a person is being admitted at hospital related to breathing problems like asthma, allergic etc.. the amount which he spends for hospital rent, oxygen cylinders and the oxygen cylinder would cost Rs 700/- and a person requires atleast a minimum of Rs 2000/- worth oxygen but think if a person can buy plants and keep them growing at their residence, that would be cost cutting measures and you can save yourselves from paying out huge bills at hospitals.

“ SAVE TREES , LIVE LONGER ”

If you think afforestation would be better, please I request you to atleast start plant saplings at your residence. Also ensure no trees are uprooted or cut in and around your place. Often we watch trees being cut down for various absurd reasons. If you are at Coimbatore, please take some time to visit Tamil Nadu Agricultural University – Botanical Garden , Marudhamalai Road, Coimbatore. Avail trees at very low cost and also pure agriculture based products are also made available.

 Did you forget the question I asked in the beginning of article ? About the space ………… !

Here it is, Every human being in this world should at least have 625 square feet surface area of greenery to produce oxygen in order to save this mother earth from getting exhausted.

Thank you to all my readers,

Please share your views and suggestions!
