As the preparation for one of the most celebrated festivals, Ganesh Chaturthi are in full swing..........
There are so many women who are seeking medications to postpone their menstrual period, so as to be able to participate in festivities.

This is done without understanding that their bodies are not impure, menstruation is not impure and God can never be angry at you for something that is natural.

Hello.....
This myth is still prevalent in the so called educated communities.
The impurity myth related to menstruation needs to be broken.

Stop altering menstrual cycle...the medication can harm.

Love your body, respect something that is natural.

Spread the message to all.
Speak against menstrual exclusion.

Charity begins at home.

USEFUL TIP OF LIFE, NEESDS YOUR ATTENTION……..

An live examples to illustrate how unpredictable life is today, due to the life style which we leads now.

Ranjan Das, CEO and MD of SAP Indian subcontinent
died after a massive cardiac arrest in Mumbai on Wednesday.
One of the youngest CEOs, he was 42.

What killed Ranjan Das and Lessons for Corporate India
A month ago, many of us heard about the sad demise of Ranjan Das from Bandra, Mumbai. He was very active in sports, was a fitness freak and a marathon runner. It was common to see him run on Bandra's Carter Road. Just after Diwali, on 21st Oct, he returned home from his gym after a workout, collapsed with a massive heart attack and died.

It was certainly a wake-up call for corporate India. However, it was even more disastrous for runners amongst us. Since Ranjan was an avid marathoner ( in Feb 09, he ran Chennai Marathon at the same time some of us were running Pondicherry Marathon 180 km away ), the question came as to why an exceptionally active, athletic person succumb to heart attack at 42 years of age.

Was it the stress?

A couple of you called me asking about the reasons. While Ranjan had mentioned that he faced a lot of stress, that is a common element in most of our lives. We used to think that by being fit, one can conquer the bad effects of stress. So I doubted if the cause was stress.

The Real Reason
However, everyone missed out a small line in the reports that Ranjan used to make do with 4-5 hours of sleep. This is an earlier interview of Ranjan on NDTV in the program 'Boss' D! ay Out': Boss' Day Out: Ranjan Das of SAP India .

The Evidence
Last week, I was working with a well-known cardiologist on the subject of ‘Heart Disease caused by Lack of Sleep’. ! While I cannot share the video nor the slides because of confidentiality reasons, I have distilled the key points below in the hope it will save some of our lives.

TOP TEN FAT BUSTER TIPS

1. Be conscious of the portion size when at home or outside. Eat till you are three-fourths full at every meal.

2. Eat small meals every 2 to 3 hours, and eat slowly.

3. Maintain a diet diary. Measure the food for a few days and make a note of it. Make a note of the exercises schedule too.

4. Concentrate mainly on consuming pulses, legumes, sprouts, lightly sautéed vegetables, salads, soups, fruits, and whole grain food preparations. Opt for skimmed milk products and keep the fat intake low.

5. Beverages like buttermilk, green tea, lime juice, fruit juice, iced tea, vegetable soups, and pulse soups can be had in-between to prevent excessive hunger during the main meals.

6. Sipping water/beverages with the meal is a good way to achieve the sensation of fullness so that one is able to stop eating when three-fourths full.

7. It is important to consume soups and salads before a meal. Apart from helping one lose weight, these also provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which improve bodily functions, add vigor, make one feel younger, and maintain a healthy digestive system.

8. When planning to eat out, eat a small portion of food at home in order to stop yourself from binging. Make judicious choices when eating out. Opt for salads, soups, pasta, thin-crust pizzas, and baked, grilled, roasted, lightly- cooked food. Do not hesitate to get it altered your way.

9. Monitor the weight and fat percentage every week, and draw up a record.

10. Exercise consciously for 30 minutes everyday.

TOP TEN CELL PHONE SAFETY FACTS

Last few years has seen some raging controversy on usage of cell phones. Over 80% of the world citizens are in a possession of cell phones. This year (2010) the number cell number in the world will exceed 5 billion and the number will keeps growing with broad band joining the bandwagon. Evidence seems to be pouring in about the harm of 'Electro Magnetic Radiation’ (EMR) from cell phones. More evidence is required before we raise our alarms about this device but the preliminary scientific report gives us reason to alert members about the need to take certain precautions. One of the first advices would be to keep cell phone usage to minimum, as even a two-minute call from the cell phone alters the natural electrical activity of the brain for up to an hour.

1. Keep the handset if possible at least 2 to 7 inches away from your head or use loudspeaker mode. It decreases the transmission of electro-magnetic radiation to the brain significantly.

2. Do not keep the cell phones close to your head when sleeping. Switch it off in the night or keep it 1.80 meters or 6 feet away from your head.

3. If keeping cell phones in pocket keep the keypad towards you so that antenna faces away from you.

4. Don’t use cell phones if pregnant. The developing organs of the fetus or child are the most sensitive to any possible effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure.

5. Avoid cell phones usage in ‘metal containers’ like Vehicles, Elevators, Airplanes, Trains and any other type of metal container as it increases the EMR.

6. Avoid using the wired headsets. If you do use headsets use an air tube headset with ferrite beads. Blue tooth are better as they emit 1/100th the EMR of a normal cell phone.
With regular headsets you get 3 times more EMR than if you hold the cell phone against your ear.

7. Cell phones are a big NO for Children under 15 years as currently brain tumors are the second leading cause of death in children.

8. Keep cell phones well away from newborns. EMR travel through children’s brains much more easily due to thinner skulls and hence increases the risk of cancer.

9. Avoid using cell phones in your pant pocket – as radiation can affect your fertility. Avoid it in breast pocket if you have a pacemaker.

10. When buying a cell phone – look for one with a low SAR or Specific Absorption Rate. Lower the SAR number the better. For example - Popular Motorola Razr V3x has a SAR of 0.14 – which is amongst the lowest seen recently.

BRAIN -- FACTS

The brain is a monstrous, beautiful mess. Its billions of nerve cells - called neurons - lie in a tangled web that displays cognitive powers far exceeding any of the silicon machines we have built to mimic it. - William F. Allman in Apprentices of Wonder. Inside the Neural Network Revolution, 1989.

The brain is the most amazing and complex organ in this universe and its research continues to throw up new facts that surprise’s us. The brain is capable of being modified or improved even as we age. It is never used to its full capacity.

1. The human brain has about 100,000,000,000 or 100 billion neurons. From the age of 35 years about 7000 neurons are lost daily.

2. During early pregnancy the neurons in the fetus can multiply at a rate 250,000 neurons/minute.

3. Brain is composed of 75 to 80% water. Dehydration can affect proper functioning of brain.

4. Brain consists of 60% White matter and 40% Grey matter. White is the supporting matter and Grey is the thinking matter of the brain. If the brain was a computer the grey matter would be the computer itself and the white matter its cables.

5. Adult brain weighs about 3 pounds or 1300 to 1400 Grams. This is about 2% of the body weight if you weigh 150 pounds or 70 kgs. S***m whale’s brain weighs 7800 gms.

6. Although the brain only accounts for 2 percent of our body weight but it consumes 20% of the oxygen that we breathe and roughly 20 percent of our daily calories.

7. 15-20% of all blood pumped out of the heart goes directly to the brain.

8. All the thinking in the brain is about electricity and chemicals. The brain is more active and thinks more at night than during the day.

9. The brain itself is incapable of feeling pain. Once the skull is opened it is possible to operate on the brain with the patient awake.

10. You can’t feel your own tickle either. The brain is smart enough to neutralize the sensation. The cerebellum sends a signal to rest of the brain of your intentions and as a result the sensation is ignored.
