Control Your Blood Sugar Levels With These Home Remedies

Home Remedies To Control Blood Sugar Levels

Diabetes is one of the leading concerns among health professionals today as more and more individuals fall prey to this life-long and dangerous disease. Diabetes is caused when the blood sugar levels rise to an excess and a resistance to insulin results. Once this happens, the diabetic individual can no longer control their blood sugar levels, and they can rise and fall with serious consequences. Yet whether you are diabetic or know someone diabetic or not, it is important to implement measures to control blood sugar levels and to stop the spread of the diabetes in its tracks.

1. Consume More Dairy Products     The protein and fat in dairy products helps improve blood sugar levels, and if the products are low in fat, it has been shown that they can also decreased the chances for developing insulin resistance.  2. Choose the Right Kind of Bread Avoid white flour based products at all costs! These simple carbohydrates are full of sugar that spike up your blood sugar. Instead, you should consume whole wheat or rye products that are high in fiber, protein and complex carbohydrates which control blood sugar levels and keep you full longer.  3. Maximize the Magnesium Magnesium is a mineral known to help prevent the onset of Type II diabetes and should be consumed as much as possible. It is best to consume natural sources of magnesium such as spinach, fish, nuts, leafy greens and avocados. All of these foods have been proved to lower the risk of diabetes and can even aid in weightless.  4. Cardamom is great! Cardamom originates in the ginger family of spices and comes from Asia as well as South America. The spice is known to regulate Type II diabetes and can be sprinkled on coffee, tea, yogurt and even cereal. The spice is known to help decrease blood glucose levels by eighteen to thirty percent. 5. Buckwheat Buckwheat is an excellent source of fiber that you may never have heard of. It also does wonders for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Buckwheat comes in the form of soba noodles, which are a delicious substitute for rice or pasta as well as in a number of powders that can be added to baked goods or even on top of a slice of (whole wheat) bread. 6. Drink in Moderation Alcohol contains huge amounts of sugar, and anyone trying to watch out for their blood sugar should definitely moderate the amount of alcohol they consume. It is best to occasionally drink wine with dinner, and not after dinner when the same glass of wine could alter insulin levels in the blood. 7. Watch Fat Intake It is important to watch the amount of saturated fats entering the body because these can seriously increase the chances of contracting diabetes. Saturated fats are usually in fried and junk foods as they are cooked in unhealthy oils.  8. Exercise Daily Getting in exercise each day is critical to maintaining normal blood sugar levels, even if it's a brisk walk in the park.  9. Laughing Yes, this is really one of the tips that will prevent your chances for diabetes. It was found that those who laugh have lower blood sugar levels than those who don't laugh enough (this means you should keep reading our jokes!). 10. Eat Grapefruit Grapefruit has been proved to aid in weight loss as it affects the glucose metabolism, keeping insulin levels steady. 11. Do Resistance Training Building muscle mass is important for burning more glucose out of your system and training once to twice a week could significantly aid in preventing the occurrence of diabetes. 12. Drink Decaf, Not Regular Decaffeinated coffee slows down the rate at which the intestines absorb sugars and speeds up the absorption of sugar by the muscles.  13. Eat Smaller Meals It is best to have a small meal every half hour and then another small meal (or a second half of the regular size meal) later on. In the same vein, it is also important to eat regularly so that insulin levels don't spike. 14. Get Enough Sleep Sleep deprivation can affect blood sugar and insulin levels so it is important to get enough sleep each night. It is also essential to stop snoring because according to some studies, those who snore are more likely to develop diabetes (because snoring is often tied to being overweight).  15. Learn Relaxation Listen to soothing music or read an interesting book, whatever you need to do to relax. Meditation and yoga can also help if they are done properly and on a regular basis.   Images (top to bottom): Naypong, smarnad, piyato, imagerymajestic, Paul/ freedigitalphotos.net

Health Tips: 10 Remedies for Treating an Infected Tooth

Health Tips: 10 Remedies for Treating an Infected Tooth An infected tooth can be one of the most painful infections we may deal with in our day to day lives. Tooth infections are usually caused by bacteria multiplying within the tooth and secreting waste materials, which to us are toxins, and the accumulation of pus in abscesses formed in the tooth. There are several different symptoms associated with an infected tooth, but luckily there are several effective home remedies one can use to relieve the pain associated with this condition.                                                                             Causes of Tooth Infection Tooth abscess (when there is a hollow space within the tooth) is usually related to tooth decay, which can occur from: 1. Trauma to the tooth - A broken or chipped tooth, if not handled correctly, might get infected and develop an abscess. 2. Openings left in the enamel of the tooth may allow entry for harmful bacteria which will spread and infect the center of the tooth. 3. Infection might begin with the root of the tooth or even the jaw bones, and spread to the inside of the tooth through the nerve of the root. 4. If pus is accumulated within the tooth, there could be a swelling of the inner tooth tissue, which will definitely cause infection.   Image by: digitalart / freedigitalphotos.net   Common Symptoms: There are several symptoms associated with a tooth infection, no matter the cause, though, an infected tooth can be extremely painful to bear: 1. A bitter taste in the mouth even after brushing (these are bacteria toxins). 2. Pain that might seem to be coming from a few places on the face or even the temples.  3. Breath might become foul. 4. In certain cases, when left untreated, the infection may cause a fever. 5. Sensitivity to all kinds of pain. 6. Teeth are sensitive to heat or cold. 7. The gums may swell and change color. 8. The jaw may swell as well.                                                    Image by: digitalart / freedigitalphotos.net      10 Home Remedies to Treat the Infection: First of all, an infected tooth should be seen by a dentist. However, if you find yourself unable to reach one soon, or have to wait for your appointment, here's what you can do at home: 1. Avoiding heat Bacteria love heat. It gives them the perfect conditions they need to multiply. So whatever you do, avoid hot beverages and hot food, and let it cool off to room temperature before consuming. 2. Use Ice If the infection is spreading to your jaw and gums, and they begin to swell, you can use an ice pack to reduce the swelling.  Place the ice pack on the cheek above the infected area. The cold will numb the pain and reduce the swelling. 3. Gargling. Take one glass of clean, room temperature water, and add a spoon or 2 of regular table salt. Mix well so the salt doesn't lie on the bottom of the glass. Now gargle this solution several times a day. The salt will dry out the bacteria, and act as a mild antiseptic. The pain will also be reduced. 4. Peroxide Solution Peroxide is great at treating tooth infection as an antiseptic. Use a solution to rinse the mouth frequently. You can also mix it with salt to better deal with the infection. 5. Alcohol As a known antiseptic, alcohol too can help. Take a swig of whiskey or another drink with a high alcohol %, and swirl it in your mouth. You don't have to actually drink it, just holding it in your mouth will help fight the infection and reduce inflammation. 6. Use the extracts of common kitchen ingredients The following extracts will help mitigate the inflammation: - Vanilla extract - Peppermint extract - Lemon / almond extract Use a swab of cotton to gently smear these on the infected area. 7. Oregano Oil The oil extracted from oregano can do wonders for your infected tooth or gum.  Simply add a few drops of olive oil to a cotton swab, add a few drops of oregano oil and apply to the infected area. 8. Apple Cider Vinegar You may already know this one, because apple cider vinegar is known to work magic on infections. Use a cotton ball and soak it in apple cider vinegar. Hold it against the infected area.   9. Ginger Use a fresh piece of ginger and chew on it. The juices released will give you relief from the pain of the inflammation. 10. Fresh potato mash Take a fresh, raw potato. Skin it and cut it to slices. Take the slices and pound them. Add salt to the mash. Now place the mash against the infected area for relief.

Multi benefits of Kapaal Bhaati [Tummy excercise]

Dear Every body,

Kapaal means face and head and Bhaati means "Glow". THIS EXCERCISE done over empty stomach or 5 hours after meals, BRINGS NATURAL GLOW ON THE FACE OBVIATING THE USE OF CANCER CAUSING "Cancer Causing" COSMETICS.

According to the world renowned Yoga Guru Baba Rmdevji's daily telecasts on Zee TV and Aastha TV, this excercise of backward and forward tummy strokes while keeping the back and neck erect, brings about the following benefits harmlessly and "Cost free".

1. It reduces the weight of over-weight people by one gram with each stroke and incerases the weight of "under-weight" people by one gram per stroke.

2.It improves digestive function of the stomach resulting in increased absorbtion of nuitrients[ in the foods eaten] by the body's blood stream.

3. It dislodges any thing sticking to the inside walls of the intestines and pushing these and other waste products of the meals for quick exit out of the body.

4.It reactivates the function of pancreas to produce natural insulin thus reducing the dependance on harmful allopathic medicines being taken by those suffering from diabetese.

5.It shrinks the size of enlarged prostate thus reducing the sleep disturbing knightly visits to the toilet and giving protection against prostate cancer. I HAVE MYSELF BENEFITED IN THIS REGARD. I was, ten years ago, advised biopsy for prostate cancer.I refused to undergo the same fearing spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body and started doing Kapaal Bhaati regularly AND AM NOW FREE OF ALL MY PROSTATE SYMPTOMS.

6 Those who say they are very busy and do not find time for rexcercise, I would say, where there is will, there is a way. FINDING 5 MINUTES OUT OF TWENTY FOUR HOURS TO DO KAPAAL BHAATI SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. HEALTH IS WEALTH. YOU WILL BE ABLE EARN ONLY IF YOU CONTINUE TO KEEP FIT AND ENJOY THE EARNINGS IN A STATE OF FITNESS.

7. Falling sick means losing the wages for the period of sickness and be saddled with expenses on doctor's bills and on medicines.

Pass this on to others and near and dear ones.

Baala Kaanda - Sarga 19 In the previous Sarga, Viswaamitra arrived in Dasaratha's court and was received with great honor. In this Sarga, the Rishi Viswaamitra asks king Dasaratha to send his son Raama along with him to protect his Yagnya from the Raakshasas. This is one of the most concise Sargas in Raamayana. It requires no modifications, before it can be turned into a lesson on 'Proposal Making' for executives, diplomats and sales persons or before it is offered as part a curriculum in an MBA course.
1.19.1	तच्छ्रुत्वा राजसिंहस्य वाक्यमद्भुतविस्तरम् । हृष्टरोमा महातेजा विश्वामित्रो ऽभ्यभाषत ॥ tacchrutvā rājasiṃhasya vākyamadbhutavistaram । hṛṣtarōmā mahātējā viṡvāmitrō 'bhyabhāṣata ॥ Hearing those nice, elaborate and acquiescing words of the lion among kings (Dasaratha), the supremely radiant Muni had goose bumps and said:
1.19.2	सदृशं राजशार्दूल तवैतद्भुवि नान्यथा । महाकुलप्रसूतस्य वसिष्ठव्यपदेशिनः ॥ sadṛṡaṃ rājaṡārdūla tavaitadbhuvi nānyathā । mahākulaprasūtasya vasiṣṭhavyapadēṡinaḥ ॥ There is no wonder you spoke thus, and nothing different, considering the great lineage that you are born into and considering the able guidance you get from Vasishtha!
1.19.3	यत्तु मे हृद्गतं वाक्यं तस्य कार्यस्य निश्चयम् । कुरुष्व राजशार्दूल भव सत्यप्रतिश्रवः ॥ yattu mē hṛdgataṃ vākyaṃ tasya kāryasya niṡcayam । kuruṣva rājaṡārdūla bhava satyapratiṡravaḥ ॥ O tiger among kings! Hope you will be able to fulfill the request that is in my mind and do accordingly, without fail !
1.19.4	अहं नियममातिष्ठे सिद्ध्यर्थं पुरुषर्षभ । तस्य विघ्नकरौ द्वौ तु राक्षसौ कामरूपिणौ ॥ ahaṃ niyamamātiṣṭhē siddhyarthaṃ puruṣarṣabha । tasya vighnakarau dvau tu rākṣasau kāmarūpiṇau ॥ O bull among men! I am following certain discipline and rigor in the pursuit of certain objectives. But two Raakshasas, that can take any form at will, are causing obstructions.
1.19.5-6a	व्रते मे बहुशश्चीर्णे समाप्त्यां राक्षसाविमौ । मारीचश्च सुबाहुश्च वीर्यवन्तौ सुशिक्षितौ ॥ समांसरुधिरौघेण वेदिं तामभ्यवर्षताम् । vratē mē bahuṡaṡcīrṇē samāptyāṃ rākṣasāvimau । mārīcaṡca subāhuṡca vīryavantau suṡikṣitau ॥ samāṃsarudhiraughēṇa vēdiṃ tāmabhyavarṣatām । As I was drawing to a close of that Vrata, the two powerful and well trained Raakshasas by names Maareecha and Subaahu have poured blood and dumped meat on the altar.	Aswamedha Yagnya, performed by kings involves animal sacrifice. Whereas, any presence of blood or meat, is considered sacrilegious in the case of Yagnyas done by Munis. It is my conjecture, that 1. Yagnyas done for the sake of material gains (such as by kings) may involve animal sacrifice and pomp and are performed in the middle of huge number of attendees. 2. But, Yagnyas done for the sake of gaining spiritual energies (such as by Munis) are done in an ascetic manner and in the midst of the quiet and serene Vanas.
1.19.6b-7a	अवधूते तथाभूते तस्मिन्नियमनिश्चये ॥ कृतश्रमो निरुत्साहस्तस्माद्देशादपाक्रमे । avadhūtē tathābhūtē tasminniyamaniṡcayē ॥ kṛtaṡramō nirutsāhastasmāddēṡādapākramē । Having my discipline, determination and effort thus spoiled, I felt de-motivated and abandoned it and came away.
1.19.7b-8a	न च मे क्रोधमुत्स्रष्टुं बुद्धिर्भवति पार्थिव ॥ तथाभूता हि सा चर्या न शापस्तत्र मुच्यते । na ca mē krōdhamutsraṣtuṃ buddhirbhavati pārthiva ॥ tathābhūtā hi sā caryā na ṡāpastatra mucyatē । I could not even get angry at them, because I was quieted down by the stipulations of the Vrata. Further, I could not even curse them because I am in the middle of the Yagnya.
1.19.8b-9a	स्वपुत्रं राजशार्दूल रामं सत्यपराक्रमम् ॥ काकपक्षधरं शूरं ज्येष्ठं मे दातुमर्हसि । svaputraṃ rājaṡārdūla rāmaṃ satyaparākramam ॥ kākapakṣadharaṃ ṡūraṃ jyēṣṭhaṃ mē dātumarhasi । O tiger among kings! Please give me your eldest son, the heroic and truly valorous Raama with beautiful side-locks ! The reference to the beautiful side-locks imply youthfulness !
1.19.9a-10b	शक्तो ह्येष मया गुप्तो दिव्येन स्वेन तेजसा ॥ राक्षसा ये विकर्तारस्तेषामपि विनाशने । ṡaktō hyēṣa mayā guptō divyēna svēna tējasā ॥ rākṣasā yē vikartārastēṣāmapi vināṡanē । He, with his own divine brilliance and acting under my direction and protection, will be the right person to destroy those Raakshasas that are obstructing my work !
1.19.10b-11a	श्रेयश्चास्मै प्रदास्यामि बहुरूपं न संशयः ॥ त्रयाणामपि लोकानां येन ख्यातिं गमिष्यति । ṡrēyaṡcāsmai pradāsyāmi bahurūpaṃ na saṃṡayaḥ ॥ trayāṇāmapi lōkānāṃ yēna khyātiṃ gamiṣyati । Please be assured that I will bring multitudes of such great things upon him that his fame would reach the far corners of all the three worlds.	These nine slokas (10b-19a) lay out a 9-point template for successful 'proposal making'. Viswaamitra wants Dasaratha to send Raama along with him. This may sound like a simple request. But, if you read through these 9 slokas carefully, you will see it as a well crafted and well delivered proposal. This 9 point template for 'proposal making' is very illustrative and can be used by you in any situation. For example, let us say, you want to request your friend to invest more than half of his retirement savings in your business. (You are like Viswaamitra, your friend is like Dasaratha. The 'retirement savings' are like Raama). How do you make your friend part with his 'retirement savings'? Follow the 9 points below, as laid out in each of these 9 slokas: 1. Speak about the returns on investment. (What 'is in it' for your friend?) 2. Explain how uniquely your friend is positioned for the opportunity and that there is no risk. (Boost the ego of your friend, and trivialize the risk). 3. Explain that the timing is perfect and everything is falling in place. (Draw attention to the 'timing', and again trivialize the risk). 4. Calm down the knee-jerk apprehensions. ("Don't let small things come in your way. Trust me, everything is well thought out"). 5. Deflect the focus away from yourself and put yourself in good company. ("It is not just me, other eminent people also agree with me"). 6. Shift the focus to him and away from you. ("It is in your long term interest, that you should do this" ). 7. Deflect the burden of decision making from him to his trusted advisors. ("Check with your confidants"). 8. Give the specifics only after you raised certain comfort level and say some feel-good words. (Such as: 'of course, it is your hard-earned money'). 9. Mention about the urgency ('offer is void if not acted upon in a certain time')and turn yourself into a counselor, from being a requester.
1.19.11b-12a	न च तौ राममासाद्य शक्तौ स्थातुं कथञ्चन ॥ न च तौ राघवादन्यो हन्तुमुत्सहते पुमान् । na ca tau rāmamāsādya ṡaktau sthātuṃ kathañcana ॥ na ca tau rāghavādanyō hantumutsahatē pumān । Those two (Raakshasas) cannot stand against Raama. Neither anyone other than Raama, the prince of the Raaghava Dynasty, can kill them.
1.19.12b-13a	वीर्योत्सिक्तौ हि तौ पापौ कालपाशवशं गतौ ॥ रामस्य राजशार्दूल न पर्याप्तौ महात्मनः । vīryōtsiktau hi tau pāpau kālapāṡavaṡaṃ gatau ॥ rāmasya rājaṡārdūla na paryāptau mahātmanaḥ । O tiger among the kings ! The end of those two wretched souls, that are emboldened by their raw muscle, is near. They are no match for the great Raama.
1.19.13b-14a	न च पुत्रकृतस्नेहं कर्तुमर्हति पार्थिव ॥ अहं ते प्रतिजानामि हतौ तौ विद्धि राक्षसौ । na ca putrakṛtasnēhaṃ kartumarhati pārthiva ॥ ahaṃ tē pratijānāmi hatau tau viddhi rākṣasau । Hope you would not back out, because of your love to Raama. Consider those two Raakshasas are killed by him. And, keep full trust in my words.
1.19.14b-15a	अहं वेद्मि महात्मानं रामं सत्यपराक्रमम् ॥ वसिष्ठो ऽपि महातेजा ये चेमे तपसि स्थिताः । ahaṃ vēdmi mahātmānaṃ rāmaṃ satyaparākramam ॥ vasiṣṭhō 'pi mahātējā yē cēmē tapasi sthitāḥ । I am confident about the true capabilities of the great Raama. So do the radiant Vasishtha and and other Munis.
1.19.15b-16a	यदि ते धर्मलाभं च यशश्च परमं भुवि ॥ स्थितमिच्छसि राजेन्द्र रामं मे दातुमर्हसि । yadi tē dharmalābhaṃ ca yaṡaṡca paramaṃ bhuvi ॥ sthitamicchasi rājēndra rāmaṃ mē dātumarhasi । If you want to further the cause of Dharma and if you want to enhance your reputation in this world, please do not waver about sending Raama with me.
1.19.16b-17a	यदि ह्यनुज्ञां काकुत्स्थ ददते तव मन्त्रिणः ॥ वसिष्ठप्रमुखाः सर्वे राघवं मे विसर्जय । yadi hyanujñāṃ kākutstha dadatē tava mantriṇaḥ ॥ vasiṣṭhapramukhāḥ sarvē rāghavaṃ mē visarjaya । O prince of Kaakutsa dynasty ! Please check with your ministers and Vasistha and only upon their good advice, do you send Raama with me.
1.19.17b-18a	अभिप्रेतमसंसक्तमात्मजं दातुमर्हसि ॥ दशरात्रं हि यज्ञस्य रामं राजीवलोचनम् । abhiprētamasaṃsaktamātmajaṃ dātumarhasi ॥ daṡarātraṃ hi yajñasya rāmaṃ rājīvalōcanam । For the duration of the ten nights of the Yagnya, please send your dearest, shiny lotus eyed Raama, without delay.
1.19.18b-19a	नात्येति कालो यज्ञस्य यथा ऽयं मम राघव ॥ तथा कुरुष्व भद्रं ते मा च शोके मनः कृथाः । nātyēti kālō yajñasya yathā 'yaṃ mama rāghava ॥ tathā kuruṣva bhadraṃ tē mā ca ṡōkē manaḥ kṛthāḥ । O prince of Raghu dynasty ! Please act in time for my Yagnya. Everything will be alright and you shouldn't have anything to worry.
1.19.19b-20a	इत्येवमुक्त्वा धर्मात्मा धर्मार्थसहितं वचः ॥ विरराम महातेजा विश्वामित्रो महामुनिः । ityēvamuktvā dharmātmā dharmārthasahitaṃ vacaḥ ॥ virarāma mahātējā viṡvāmitrō mahāmuniḥ । Thus stated the Dharmatma, the Muni and the supremely Radiant Viswaamitra, his legitimate purpose. Dharma = legitimate, fair and reasonable. Artha = Purpose.
1.19.20b-21a	स तन्निशम्य राजेन्द्रो विश्वामित्रवचः शुभम् ॥ शोकमभ्यगमत्तीव्रं व्यषीदत भयान्वितः । sa tanniṡamya rājēndrō viṡvāmitravacaḥ ṡubham ॥ ṡōkamabhyagamattīvraṃ vyaṣīdata bhayānvitaḥ । The good opportunity Viswaamitra laid out, wouldn't help that king of kings from sinking with grief and fear.
1.19.21	इति हृदयमनोविदारणं मुनिवचनं तदतीव शुश्रुवान् । नरपतिरभवन्महांस्तदा व्यथितमनाः प्रचचाल चासनात् ॥ iti hṛdayamanōvidāraṇaṃ munivacanaṃ tadatīva ṡuṡruvān । narapatirabhavanmahāṃstadā vyathitamanāḥ pracacāla cāsanāt ॥ The words of Viswaamitra have torn his heart into pieces. The mind of the lord of men went out of shape. And he almost jumped out of his throne.
	इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीये आदिकाव्ये श्रीमद्बालकाण्डे एकोनविंशः सर्गः ॥ ityārṣē ṡrīmadrāmāyaṇē vālmīkīyē ādikāvyē ṡrīmadbālakāṇḍē ēkōnaviṃṡaḥ sargaḥ ॥ Thus concludes the nineteenth Sarga in Baala Kaanda of Vaalmeeki Ramayana.
We completed reading 684 Slokas out of ~24,000 Slokas of Vaalmeeki Raamayana.
