DON'T DRINK CALORIES

Sugary drinks are the most fattening things you can put into your body. This is because liquid sugar calories don't get registered by the brain in the same way as calories from solid foods.

Sugary drinks are strongly associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and many other health problems.
Keep in mind that certain fruit juices may be almost as bad as soda in this regard, as they sometimes contain just as much sugar. Their small amounts of antioxidants do not negate the sugar’s harmful effects.

📡 *Bypass the Bypass*

🍎 *EVERY SEED OF POMEGRANATE WHICH GOES IN YOUR STOMACH IS A SEED OF LIFE FOR YOUR HEART.*

✅ Two things are full of benefits for the human being, Lukewarm Water & Pomegranate.

🙏 I prepared a decoction, boiling a fistful of dried seeds of Pomegranate in half litre of water for 10 minutes, strained the decoction and advised those patients suffering from painful Angina to drink a glass of lukewarm decoction on empty stomach early mornings.

🙏 Amazing result was observed; the decoction of dried pomegranate seeds worked like a magic, the feeling of tightness and heaviness of chest and the pain were relieved.

🙏 It encouraged me to try more experiments on various types of cardiac patients. So I experimented on patients who were suffering from painful Angina, Coronary Arterial Blockage, Cardiac Ischemia (insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle) etc, who were waiting for bypass surgery.

🙏 Drinking lukewarm decoction on empty stomach in the morning provided quick relief in all symptoms including painful condition.

🙏 In another case of Coronary Arterial Blockage, the patient was given half glass of fresh pomegranate juice everyday for one year. although all symptoms were completely relieved within a few weeks, the patient continued taking it for a whole year.

🙏 This completely reversed the plaque build-up and unblocked arteries to be normal again, the angiography report confirmed the evidence.

🙏 Thus decoction of dried pomegranate seeds, fresh pomegranate juice or eating a whole pomegranate on empty stomach in the morning proved to be a miracle cure for cardiac patients. But the lukewarm dried seeds decoction proved to be more effective, compared to eating a whole pomegranate or fresh pomegranate juice.

🙏 Consuming pomegranate has demonstrated even more dramatic effects as blood thinner, pain killing properties for cardiac patients, lowers LDL (low density lipoprotein or bad cholesterol) and in raising the HDL (high density lipoprotein or good cholesterol).

🙏 There are more than 50 different types of heart diseases and the most common being Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), which is the number one killer of both women and men in many countries, and there has been no medicinal cure for this disease.

🙏 Many cardiac patients have reversed their heart diseases by drinking one glass of lukewarm decoction of pomegranate dried seeds, half glass of fresh pomegranate juice or eating a whole pomegranate on empty stomach in the morning.

🙏 It was the very first real breakthrough in the history of cardiology to successfully treat the cardiac diseases by a fruit.

🙏 It is regretted, that treating the heart patients with bypass surgery has become a very profitable business around the world.

🙏 The regular use of pomegranate in any way ensures a healthy cardiac life, thinning your blood, dissolving the blood clots and obstruction inside the coronary arteries, in maintaining an optimal blood flow, supporting healthy blood pressure, prevention and reversal of atherosclerosis (Thickening of the internal lining of the blood vessels).

🙏 From these experiences and observations during the last several years, I can conclude: _*A Pomegranate a day keeps the Cardiologist away.*_

As I sat in the park after my morning walk, Suman came and slumped next to me. She had completed her 30-minute jog. We chatted for a while. She said she is not happy in life. I looked up at her sheer disbelief since she seemed to have the best of everything in life. "Suman, Why do you think so?" "I don't know. Everyone tells I have everything needed, but I am not happy."Then I questioned myself, am I happy? "No," was my inner voice reply. Now, that was an eye-opener for me. I began my quest to understand the real cause of my unhappiness, I couldn't find one. I dug deeper, read articles, spoke to life coaches but nothing made sense. At last my doctor friend gave me the answer which put all my questions and doubts to rest. I implemented those and will say I am a lot happier person. She said there are four hormones which determine a human's happiness - Endorphins, Dopamine, Serotonin, and Oxytocin. It is important we understand these hormones, as we need all four of them to stay happy.Let's look at the first hormone the Endorphins. When we exercise, the body releases Endorphins. This hormone helps the body cope with the pain of exercising. We then enjoy exercising because these Endorphins will make us happy. Laughter is another good way of generating Endorphins. We need to spend 30 minutes exercising every day, read or watch funny stuff to get our day's dose of Endorphins.The second hormone is Dopamine. In our journey of life, we accomplish many little and big tasks, it releases various levels of Dopamine. When we get appreciated for our work at the office or at home, we feel accomplished and good, that is because it releases Dopamine. This also explains why most housewives are unhappy since they rarely get acknowledged or appreciated for their work. Once, we join work, we buy a car, a house, the latest gadgets, a new house so forth. In each instance, it releases Dopamine and we become happy. Now, do we realize why we become happy when we shop?The third hormone Serotonin is released when we act in a way that benefits others. When we transcend ourselves and give back to others or to nature or to the society, it releases Serotonin. Even, providing useful information on the internet like writing information blogs, answering people's questions on Quora or Facebook groups will generate Serotonin. That is because we will use our precious time to help other people via our answers or articles.The final hormone is Oxytocin, is released when we become close to other human beings. When we hug our friends or family Oxytocin is released. The "Jhadhoo Ki Jhappi" from Munnabhai does really work. Similarly, when we shake hands or put our arms around someone's shoulders, various amounts of Oxytocin is released. Now, we can understand why we need to hug a child who has a bad mood.So, it is simple, we have to exercise every day to get Endorphins, we have to accomplish little goals and get Dopamine, we need to be nice to others to get Serotonin and finally hug our kids, friends, and families to get Oxytocin and we will be happy. When we are happy, we can deal with our challenges and problems better.
