You might want to consider replacing your Green Eggs and Ham with Green Tea and Ham the next time you break your fast in the morning - or any other time, for that matter. It appears that a green tea diet may hold at least a few properties of those golden elixirs, fountains of youth, and magic potions we’ve all heard about over the years. Here are just a few: Staving off Alzheimer’s - A green tea diet may delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. A British study found that drinking green tea inhibited three important brain-battering chemicals: acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and beta-secretase. Before you get your tongue twisted around your eye teeth and can’t see what your saying with these three-dollar words, all you really need to know is that they are three chemical culprits associated with breaking down chemical messengers and forming plaques and protein deposits in the noggin’s gray matter - definite hindrances to crystal clear thinking. Fighting Flu - Incorporating a green tea diet to your daily intake of consumables may also be a key flu-fighting strategy, according to researchers. Drinking green tea stimulates those heroic gamma-delta T-cells provided gratis from Mother Nature that boost immunity against viruses. There’s a remarkable substance in green tea called L-theanine that triggers the T cells to secrete a staggering 10 times their normal output of virus-battling interferon. Even gargling with green tea coats the oral cavity’s membranes with one of green tea’s potent components - catechins - which successfully neutralizes the vicious virus. Battling the Bulge - A recent scientific paper from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concludes that a green tea diet increases metabolism and oxidizes fat - without raising heart rates. The heart-rate item merits significance because increased heart rates can lead to adverse cardiac effects. Since there are only two ways to get rid of fat - decreasing food intake (diet) or increasing energy expenditure (exercise) - this makes green tea a much-needed helper for those unable to do the former (diet), at least successfully. And to expend energy without putting a load on the ticker makes green tea even that much more a winning alternative to stimulant-laden weight-loss concoctions. Love the idea of a green tea diet but can’t stand the taste of tea? Don’t despair. There’s hope for you, yet! Green tea extract comes in pill form, as well, so you’ll need to come up with some other excuse! Taken as a dietary supplement, green tea extract usually comes in 500 mg. capsules taken two or three times daily. Now, that’s not hard, is it? And no bitter-beer-face aftertaste, either! So whether you take pills or sip it from a cup, the benefits gained from a green tea diet cannot be ignored. Well, they can, but that would be stupid, right? And since you’re smart enough to be reading this great article, that proves you’ve got a leg up in the brains department (please don’t take that literally!). But I digress. The point here is to consume green tea - one way or another. And if you’re not willing to give up the green eggs with your ham, well, then, at least add green tea to the meal. But if the ham is green … toss it! World over people are getting very conscious about their health. There is high rate of heart disease and stroke, diabetics, Gallbladder Disease, Cancer, Sleep Apnoea, Osteoarthritis and etc. If obesity is not control in time then you can risk your life or face bad consequences that you will be inflicted by numerous diseases. However, it is better to lose weight and make yourself look good and feel healthy and that helps in avoiding terrible diseases.

The high intake of fatty food and unsystematic life style is the main cause of obesity. Overweight people are more prone to have high blood pressure, the main risk factor for triggering heart disease and stroke. High level of cholesterol and blood fat (triglycerides) in the blood can drag you towards heart diseases, diabetics and other health problems. The modern world today are getting very conscious about health and fashion, that is to look good and have comfort life free from diseases.

Many try to combat obesity through doing physical exercise and balance diets. This is the right and appreciable method and way to loss weight naturally. There are also majority of people inclined towards taking weight loss pills without knowing the literature and side effects of the pills. It has been witnessed that people taking weight loss pills have serious side effects.
Medicine companies come out with strange and different types of weight loss pills without proper scientific drug research and these companies claim that there weight loss pills are best result oriented and authentically certified by FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Medicine companies advertise their product through print and electronics media in very effectively; People get influence by the media stunt and advertisement and decide to buy the weight loss pills. Then majority of people think that they will get instance benefit by taking these weight loss pills but in fact they don’t get any good result other than they come under the clutch of serious side effects. Finally when the news come to FDA then it becomes too late that the companies selling weight loss pills are not certified by FDA. Food and Drug Administration has taken serious notice about sale of illegal overweight loss pills in the market. It is not that easy for the medicines companies to get clearance certificate from FDA because it needs all the scientific data and report about the drugs to be sold in the market. The desperateness and eagerness of the general masses to lose weight has created FDA a great concern about the weight loss pills. FDA has recently approved few weight loss pills such as Xenial and Alli and these medicines should be sold under prescriptions. The FDA also does not deny that these drugs do not have side effects; people should take these drugs with lot of precaution under strict medical supervision.
How do you actually reduce the levels of chronic stress in your body and enhance your lifespan, boost immune system function, protect your nervous system and your sanity, and give your endocrine system a much-needed rest? Fortunately there are several easy ways to do this. Let’s start with the easiest one: laughter.Laughter is a healing activity. You may have seen the movie called “Patch Adams,” which is a movie about a real life doctor who still practices today and uses laughter as healing. He’s quite correct in using laughter as a healing therapy, because it is one of the most healing activities in which you can engage. Laughter operates on at least three different levels. They are the biophysical, the biochemical, and the bioenergetic levels. Laughter moves lymph and oxygenates your organs Secondly, laughter increases oxygenation of your body at both the cellular and organ level. By laughing, you intake vast amounts of oxygen in huge gulps, and you repeat this process in a sort of temporary hyperventilation session. This is the natural result of laughter, and if you watch someone laugh, you will notice these biophysical effects. Now, why is oxygen so good for your body? Oxygen is one of the primary catalysts for biological energy in the human body. Remember, we breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, so oxygen is an element of intracellular energy that’s absolutely necessary to sustain human life. It’s also interesting to note that cancer cells are destroyed in the presence of oxygen. In fact, many parasites and bacteria don’t survive well in the presence of oxygen, and to the extent that you can circulate extra oxygen throughout your body, you can help prevent, or in some cases treat, these diseases. This is one reason why we see an increasing number of so-called “oxygen bars” in the United States and other countries. People enjoy going to these bars and breathing a much higher concentration of oxygen, because they say it gives them greater mental clarity. They like the feeling of this extra oxygen: it’s almost like that “natural high,” as they say. Now, personally, I’ve tried this myself and I didn’t notice any effect whatsoever. But it could be because my body is able to carry oxygen so efficiently in the blood that I’m already experiencing peak oxygenation and didn’t get any extra benefit from a higher concentration in the air I was inhaling. But, who knows? You might experience a benefit or I might have been at a lousy oxygen bar. But the point is, oxygen is good for you, and when you laugh, you get more oxygen into the cells of your body. If you can laugh at an oxygen bar, that’s even better! Laughing also boosts circulation, so at the same time that you’re distributing oxygen around your body, you’re boosting the circulation of your blood; you’re exercising abdominal muscles; you’re exercising the muscles of your face; and you’re enhancing the flexibility of various joints throughout your body. So it’s a bit of physical exercise and healthful body movement as well. The harder you laugh, the greater this effect. If you can find a way to put yourself into a state of rolling, outrageous laughter, you’re going to get a fantastic physical workout from it. In fact, the next day, you may even find your stomach muscles are sore. Have you ever laughed so hard that your stomach hurt and your facial muscles were exhausted? That’s some serious exercise, and it’s the kind of exercise in which we should all engage on a regular basis. The chemistry of laughter Your body manufactures chemicals based on certain needs and then distributes them throughout your body. When you laugh, you generate a wealth of healing biochemicals. I’ve often stated that for every minute of laughter, you produce somewhere around $10,000 worth of healthy body chemistry, and what I mean is that if you had to go out and actually purchase these refined chemical compounds from labs or pharmaceutical companies, you would have to pay at least $10,000 for the very same chemistry that your brain is producing free of charge when you engage in laughter. Some of these are brain-altering chemicals such as serotonin; others are immune-boosting chemicals such as interleukins. If you were to make a long list of all the chemicals created by engaging in healthy laughter, you would have quite a list of healthy body chemicals that would carry a hefty price tag if you purchased them retail. And yet, once again, you can create these chemicals for yourself at no cost by simply engaging in laughter. You will find that these chemicals have extraordinary positive healing effects on your body and mind. They will boost immune system function; they will improve your outlook on life; they will tend to diminish any symptoms of depression; and because they help reduce stress, they will also prevent all of the various diseases and disorders that are caused by chronic stress. |
