HOW TO INCREASE HAEMOGLOBIN IN BLOOD NATURALLY.

Foods, rich in vitamin B12, folate and iron if consumed adequately will help in increasing hemoglobin.

A diet for replenishing blood should be included in your menu.

One teaspoon fresh juice of coriander  ধনে  can be taken with one teaspoon of honey.

One teaspoon of fenugreek মেথি  seeds or leaves cooked with rice and eaten regularly for 10 to 15 days shows remarkable rise in hemoglobin.

One teaspoon of black sesame তিল  seeds should be soaked in warm water, then crushed and strained. It is to be mixed with a cup of milk sweetened with jaggery. This makes a good drink for quick rise in hemoglobin.

Almonds also can be useful to increase hemoglobin. Five almonds, soaked in water overnight and then grounded to make a paste, which should be taken once daily in the morning.

Benefits of Meditation

Start practicing meditation and feel relaxed, peaceful and happy. This is a kind

of inter-generative process.You meditate and you get the reward in forms of joy 

and happiness, which in turn motivates you to meditate more. In course of time, 

it becomes your automatic practice.  You feel uneasy and think something is 

missing from your life if you do not meditate on any particular day. When you 

start your day with meditation, the peace and joy generated last with you 

whole day whatever the nature of your activities.It is like taking a healthy 

and nourishing diet before the start of a strenuous and stressful routine of the day.

Meditation enables you to become aware of your inner resources of joy and peace. You can tap them whenever you feel stressed and worried. You acquire a habit of detached observation. So if something wrong and irritating happens in course of your day, you can view it as a detached observer. You learn to understand the monkey tricks of your mind. You thus get an inner poise that ultimately percolates into your daily life. The peace and joy that you acquire become infectious to those around you. In this way you try to make the whole environment happy and peaceful.

Scientific studies have conclusively proved the benefits of meditation for our mind and body. According to search results released by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, meditation has been shown to produce lasting beneficial changes in immune-system function as well as brain electrical activity. “Researchers found about 50 percent more electrical activity in the left frontal regions of the brains of the meditators. Other research has showed that part of the brain is associated with positive emotions and anxiety reduction.”

OXYGEN PARADOX

Oxygen is no doubt our life and that same oxygen is dangerous to our own health. How ?

Scientific research has established that stress from oxygen (free radical)is known as 

oxidative stress.

This oxidative stress is the root cause of over 70 major diseases. This diseases known

chronic degenarative diseases which is primarily responsible for toxic effect of oxgen. This

toxic effect also responsible for aging process. Asthma , Lung Diseases etc are also the result of oxidative stress.

FOOD EXTRACTS

FOOD GROUPS 

CARBOHYDRATES

There are two types of carbohydrate - starch and sugar.

• Starch is found in cereals, cornflour, potatoes, pasta and flour 
• Sugar is found in fruit, vegetables, honey, milk and malt products.

Carbohydrate foods  provide energy in the form of glucose. The body prefers glucose for the brain, central nervous system and red blood cells to function. The food groups consisting of grains, vegetables  and fruits as sources of carbohydrates. 

Grains include foods such as whole wheat, rolled oats, barley, rye and brown rice. 

Vegetables include foods such as Corn, pasta, potatoes and breads 

Fruit sources of carbohydrate food include apples, grapefruit, grapes, peaches and oranges. 

Proteins 
It supply energy, but the primary role of protein in the diet is for healing injured tissue and for growth and development, the other essential function of protein in maintaining the immune system and hormonal balance. 

Examples of proteins fall under the meat, milk and vegetable food group. The meat food group contains both animal protein such as poultry, meat, eggs and fish, and plant proteins such as nuts, seeds, beans and legumes. The milk food group contains the protein foods milk, cheese and yogurt. The vegetable foods with protein content includes such items as peas, tofu, soybeans and lentils. The Institute of Medicine recommends that 20 percent of the diet contain protein.

FATS  
Three forms of fat -- saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated -- produce fatty acids such as omega-3 fatty acid and omega-6 fatty acid that are required by over half the cells in
the body, according to "Consumer Medical Journal." Omega-3 fatty acids are needed for neurological growth and development. Omega-6 fatty acids form the structural membranes in cells and are required for normal skin function. Olive, avocado, canola and peanut oils contain monounsaturated fat; fish, walnut, safflower and corn oils contain polyunsaturated fats. The Institute of Medicine only advises the intake of foods with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. The modern diet should contain 30 percent fat for the total caloric intake.

VITAMINS AND MINERALS

The USDA's Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 explains the sources of the micronutrients in the food groups. Some sources of micronutrients, such as vitamin E, exist in all but the milk food groups. A source of vitamin E is a grain with fortified cereals, a fruit in avocados, a vegetable in carrot juice and a meat group with sardines. The other vitamin and minerals range across the food groups. The complete classifications of all the vitamin and minerals can be found in the USDA's Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010.

ENZYME & ENZYME ONLY

Digestive Enzyme : Supports healthy digestion

What is Digestive Enzyme  and what does it do?

Digestive enzymes help facilitate digestion, the absorption of nutrients, help maintain the proper pH in the gastrointestinal tract, and act as a barrier against invasion of viruses and bacteria. There are seven basic types of digestive enzymes each with various sub-classifications and differing functions. The basic enzymes and their specific functions are as follows: amylase digests starches, cellulose digests fibers, lactase digests dairy products, lipases digest fats, oils and triglycerides, maltase digests starch and grains, proteases digest proteins and sucrose digests sugars.

Who needs  Digestive Enzyme Complex and what are symptoms of deficiency?
Poor digestive function has been linked to many symptoms and a wide variety of clinical digestive conditions. 

It is also important to note that there have been few clinical studies regarding the use of digestive enzyme products in the treatment of specific digestive conditions. The use of digestive enzymes to treat symptoms and health conditions associated with digestive problems comes mostly from health care practitioner observations, anecdotal reports and manufacturer’s product claims. Even though there is a lack of scientific research to verify the effectiveness of digestive enzymes, these products have become widely accepted and used worldwide for assisting healthy digestion.

Why Take Digestive Enzyme  ?

Digestion: Digestive Enzyme may reverse the digestive upset that can occur with normal ageing. Many practitioners contend that digestive problems often develop in later decades because stores of digestive
enzymes decline with advancing age. Taking supplemental enzymes helps to restore good digestion by replenishing  these dwindling supplies. It may treat flatulence, heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome, and other digestive complaints. Nearly all types of digestive problems can benefit from enzyme therapy. In the case of heartburn,  for example, the thinking is that any means of accelerating the stomach's emptying of food may well reduce stomach acid and lessen irritation along the digestive tract. Upset due to irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) may also be eased.

Rosacea: Control the ruddiness of rosacea. Taking a small amount of digestive enzyme supplements with meals may improve this chronic skin complaint. Patient testimonials and a handful of small studies indicate that it can be an effective approach

BONE MASS DENSITY

Bone Mass Measurement: What the Numbers Mean

• What Is a Bone Density Test?

  A bone mineral density (BMD) test is the best way to determine your bone health. The test can identify osteoporosis, determine your risk for fractures (broken bones), and measure your response to osteoporosis treatment. The most widely recognized BMD test is called a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, or DXA test. It is painless—a bit like having an x-ray. The test can measure bone density at your hip and spine.

  • What Does the Test Do?

  A DXA test measures your bone mineral density and compares it to that of an established norm or standard to give you a score. Although no bone density test is 100-percent accurate, the DXA test is the single most important predictor of whether a person will have a fracture in the future.

  T-Score

  Most commonly, your DXA test results are compared to the ideal or peak bone mineral density of a healthy 30-year-old adult, and you are given a T-score. A score of 0 means your BMD is equal to the norm for a healthy young adult. Differences between your BMD and that of the healthy young adult norm are measured in units called standard deviations (SDs). The more standard deviations below 0, indicated as negative numbers, the lower your BMD and the higher your risk of fracture.

  As shown in the table below, a T-score between +1 and −1 is considered normal or healthy. A T-score between −1 and −2.5 indicates that you have low bone mass, although not low enough to be diagnosed with osteoporosis. A T-score of −2.5 or lower indicates that you have osteoporosis. The greater the negative number, the more severe the osteoporosis.

  
  

  World Health Organization Definitions Based on Bone Density Levels

  Level	Definition
  Normal	Bone density is within 1 SD (+1 or −1) of the young adult mean.
  Low bone mass	Bone density is between 1 and 2.5 SD below the young adult mean (−1 to −2.5 SD).
  Osteoporosis	Bone density is 2.5 SD or more below the young adult mean (−2.5 SD or lower).
  Severe (established) osteoporosis	Bone density is more than 2.5 SD below the young adult mean, and there have been one or more osteoporotic fractures.
