Modi : 100 Day Citizen Poll Results

100 Day Citizen Poll Results Executive Summary LocalCircles, which is a leading Community Social Media platform, recently conducted a citizen poll seeking inputs on Government performance in the first 100 days. In addition to members in its Governance circles, LocalCircles invited members from various other circles reaching out to over 350,000 citizens to vote. Approximately 50,000 citizens submitted their vote, making the poll one of its kind and providing good insights into what citizens and community think of the new Government. Overall, two thirds of the citizens say they have felt some positive ground level impact with the new Government taking charge. Bold decisions by the PM like calling off Secretary level talks with Pakistan have been appreciated unanimously. Citizens do feel that while the PM seems to be saying/doing the right things, the connection at constituency level is mostly missing with only 15% citizen feeling connected with their elected Member of Parliament. Citizens also feel that the Government needs to do more on critical issues like Fighting Corruption, Women Safety and Communalism. Overall, two thirds of the citizens polled feel that the Government is meeting/exceeding expectations. Here are the results of the eight point poll: Poll # 1 – Positive Ground Level Impact Felt (50,420 votes) Poll # 2 – Is Women Safety being addressed? (50,269 votes) Poll # 3 – Is Fighting Corruption being worked upon? (50,233 votes) Poll # 4 – Is tackling Communalism a priority? (50,204 votes) Poll # 5 – Was calling off talks with Pakistan right? (50,195 votes) Poll # 6 – Is the elected MP engaging in local issues? (50,165 votes) Poll # 7 – Is India expecting a lot in a short time? (50,142 votes) Poll # 8 – How has the Government done in 100 days? (50,132 votes)

Warning: The Truth About White Bread!

The Truth About White Bread

We know that there are many people round the world who enjoy eating white bread. But today, we'd like to give you some facts that may shock and surprise you. It's not only that white bread isn't good for your health, it can actually be a real danger to your health!

The Swiss government has been aware of the dangers of eating white bread for decades and in order to get its populace to stop eating it, Switzerland has placed a tax on the purchase of white bread. The tax money is given to bakers to reduce the price of whole wheat bread to encourage people to switch. The Canadian government passed a law prohibiting the “enrichment” of white bread with synthetic vitamins. Bread must contain the original vitamins found in the grain, not imitations . Essentially, white bread is dead bread. Frequently, consumers are not told the truth about this and so called “enriched” flour. Why is the color of white bread so white when the flour taken from wheat is not? It’s because the flour used to make white bread is chemically bleached, just like you bleach your clothes. When you are eating white bread, you are also eating residual chemical bleach . Flour mills use different chemical bleaches, all of which are pretty bad. Here are a few of them: Oxide of nitrogen, chlorine, chloride, nitrosyl and benzoyl peroxide mixed with various chemical salts. One bleaching agent, chloride oxide, combined with whatever proteins are still left in the flour, produces alloxan. Alloxon is a poison and has been used to produce diabetes in laboratory animals.  Chlorine oxide destroys the vital wheat germ oil. It will also shorten the flour’s shelf life. Good Nutrition: You won’t find it In white bread In the process of making flour white, half of the good unsaturated fatty acids, that are high in food value, are lost in the milling process alone, and virtually all the vitamin E is lost with the removal of wheat germ and bran.   As a result, the remaining flour in the white bread you buy, contains only poor quality proteins and fattening starch. But that is not the whole story as to the loss of nutrients.  Here are some other statistics about the huge loss of nutrients when white bread is made: · About 50% of all calcium is lost · 70% of phosphorus · 80% of iron · 98% of  magnesium · 75% of manganese · 50% of potassium and · 65% of of copper is destroyed when white bread is made. · 80% of thiamin, 60% of riboflavin, 75% of niacin, 50% of pantothenic acid. · About 50% of Pyridoxine is also lost. Scientific study has confirmed what the swiss have known for years these horrific numbers are the results of a study run by the university of california, college of agriculture. It is obvious, from what we have learned, that white bread should be avoided.    Whole wheat, rye and grain breads made with whole wheat flour are a better way.    It is a good idea to always read the labels and never buy foods that contain artificial flavors, colors, bleached flour, preservatives, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils.

Heart attack and water interesting update

Heart attack and water interesting update

How many folks do you know who say they don't want to drink anything before going to bed because they'll have to get up during the night.

Heart Attack and Water - I never knew all of this ! Interesting.......

Something else I didn't know ... I asked my Doctor why people need to urinate so much at night time. Answer from my Cardiac Doctor - Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell).

When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. This then ties in with the last statement!

I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me. Correct time to drink water...

Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist!
Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body

2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs

1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion

1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure

1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack

I can also add to this... My Physician told me that water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse.
Mayo Clinic Aspirin Dr. Virend Somers, is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.

1.  If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.
The reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system.

2.  
2. FYI, Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest, for years, (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar).
Please read on...
Something that we can do to help ourselves - nice to know. Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue.
They work much faster than the tablets.

3.  Why keep Aspirin by your bedside? It's aboutHeart Attacks.
There are other symptoms of a heart attack,besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well asnausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also occur less frequently.
Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.
The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.
If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water.
Afterwards: - Call 911. - Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.- Say "heart attack!" - Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins.
Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and ...DO NOT LIE DOWN!
A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved!
I have already shared this information. What about you?
Do forward this message. It may save lives!

You may have seen this already, but it never hurts to pass along anyway.
