Cancer is a term used to refer malignant tumors. In this condition, Cells in a tissue proliferate without the normal controls on growth and spread to the adjacent issues,interfering with the function and often have undesirable systemic effects.
Importance of nutrition therapy
.Diet is an important part of cancer treatment. Cancer patients have special nutrition needs and issues related to eating. Eating the right kinds of foods before, during and after treatment can help the patient feel better and stay stronger.
Cancer and its impact on nutrition
Cancerous tumors may produce chemicals that can affect the absorption of certain nutrients in the body. The body's use of protein, carbohydrates and fat may be affected,especially by tumors of the stomach or intestines.
A patient may appear to be eating enough, but the body may not be able to absorb all the nutrients from the food.
Goals of nutrition therapy in cancer
The goals of nutrition therapy for patients with cancer who are in active treatment and recovery are designed to restore nutrient shortages, maintain nutritional health and prevent complications
The goals of nutrition therapy are:
.Prevent or correct malnutrition.
.Prevent wasting of muscle, bone, blood, organs and other lean body mass.
.Help the patient tolerate treatment.
.Reduce nutrition-related side-effects and complications.
.Maintain strength and energy.
.Protect ability to fight infection.
.Help recovery and healing.
.Maintain or improve quality of life.
.To ensure optimal nutrition, a person has to eat and drink enough of the foods that contain key nutrients, which include plenty of vitamins, minerals, protein and water,and adequate amounts of carbohydrates and fats.
However, for many patients suffering from cancer, factors like side-effects of the disease and its treatment make it difficult for them to eat well. Other factors that interfere with eating include nausea, anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation,mouth ulcers, swallowing problems and pain. This leads to under-nutrition causing the patient to be weak, tired and makes him vulnerable to infections.
Eating too little protein and calories is the common nutrition problem facing many cancer patients.Protein and calories are important for healing, fighting infection and providing energy.
The goals of nutrition therapy for patients who have advanced cancer are designed to improve the quality of life and are:
Reduce side effects.
Reduce risk of infection.
Maintain strength and energy.
mprove quality of life.
Malnutrition in cancer patients
Anorexia is the condition where the patient loses his appetite or the desire to eat. It is a common symptom in people with cancer. Anorexia may occur early in the disease or later, when the tumor grows and spreads. Anorexia is the most common cause of malnutrition in cancer patients.
Cachexia is a wasting syndrome that causes weakness and a loss of weight, fat, and muscle. It commonly occurs in patients with tumors of the lung, pancreas, and upper gastrointestinal tract and less often inpatients with breast cancer or lower gastrointestinal cancer.
Anorexia and cachexia often occur together. Cachexia can occur in people who are eating enough, but who cannot absorb the nutrients. Cancer cachexia is not the same as starvation. Good eating habits during cancer care help the patient cope with the effects of the cancer and its treatment.
Nutrition therapy can help cancer patients get the nutrients needed to maintain body weight and strength, prevent body tissue from breaking down, rebuild tissue and fight infection.
Eating guidelines for cancer patients can be very different from the usual suggestions for healthful eating.
Nutrition recommendations for cancer patients are designed to help the patient cope with the effects of the cancer and its treatment. Some cancer treatments are more effective if the patient is well nourished and getting enough calories and protein in the diet. People who eat well during cancer treatment may even be able to handle higher doses of certain treatments. Being well-nourished has been linked to a better chance of recovery.
Nutritional requirements
Adequate nutrition is essential to meet the increased metabolic demands of the disease and prevent catabolism as much as possible and to alleviate the symptoms resulting from the disease and its treatment.
Energy: To prevent excessive weight loss and to meet the metabolic requirements, energy giving foods should be included in the diet.
Protein: Additional protein is required to provide Essential amino acids that are necessary for tissue regeneration, healing and rehabilitation.
Vitamins and minerals: Optimal intake of foods rich in vitamins, antioxidants, phytochemicals, phytoestrogens, immunomodulators and minerals is necessary as these nutrients help in fighting cancer and contain many phytonutrients that helps in cancer treatment.
Good nutrition continues to be important for patients who are in remission or whose cancer has been cured.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH HUNTING AND FISHING? VEGANS (ARAs) DO NOT SUPPORT HUNTING AND FISHING!
While we know that, unlike factory farming, hunting and fishing do not necessarily involve slavery, we also know that it's totally unnecessary and it's morally wrong. And I'm not even talking about trophy hunting or fishing just for ''fun''!
Amazingly, there are some people who eat plant based diets (and call themselves ''vegans''), but who support hunters and fishermen. I just wanted to make it clear that we, who ARE vegan, do NOT support hunting or fishing. If anyone who calls herself or himself ''vegan'' supports hunting and fishing, they are NOT vegan. People often misuse the term ''vegan'', which obviously leads to a lot of confusion. Those who eat a plant based diet, but support hunting and fishing (or even hunt and fish themselves), are dietary vegetarians (who may or may not call themselves ''vegan'').
Also, just read / check out the info and link below, in case you are wondering what's wrong with hunting and fishing, and why vegans and ARAs don't support them!
~ Humans are natural hunter/gatherers; aren't you trying to repress natural human behavior?
Yes. Failing to repress certain "natural behaviors" would create an uncivilized society. Consider this: It would be an expression of natural behavior to hunt anything that moves (e.g., my neighbor's dogs or horses) and to gather anything I desire (e.g., my employer's money or furniture). It would even be natural behavior to indulge in unrestrained sexual appetites or to injure a person in a fit of rage or jealousy.
In a civilized society, we restrain our natural impulses by two codes: the written law of the land, and the unwritten law of morality. And this also applies to hunting. It is unlawful in many places and at many times, and the majority of Americans regard sport hunting as immoral. --DVH
Many would question the supposition that humans are natural hunters. In many societies, the people live quite happily without hunting. In our own society, the majority do not hunt, not because they are repressing their nature--they simply have no desire to do so. Those that do hunt often show internal conflicts about it, as evidenced by the myths and rituals that serve to legitimize hunting, cleanse the hunter, etc. This suggests that hunting is not natural, but actually goes against a deeper part of our nature, a desire not to do harm. --BL
"The squirrel that you kill in jest, dies in earnest." --Henry David Thoreau (essayist and poet)
~ The world is made up of predators and prey; aren't we just another predator?
No. Our behavior is far worse than that of "just another predator". We kill others not just for nourishment but also for sport (recreation!), for the satisfaction of our curiosity, for fashion, for entertainment, for comfort, and for convenience. We also kill each other by the millions for territory, wealth, and power. We often torture and torment others before killing them. We conduct wholesale slaughter of vast proportions, on land and in the oceans. No other species behaves in a comparable manner, and only humans are destroying the balance of nature.
At the same time, our killing of nonhuman animals is unnecessary, whereas nonhuman predators kill and consume only what is necessary for their survival. They have no choice: kill or starve.
The one thing that really separates us from the other animals is our moral capacity, and that has the potential to elevate us above the status of "just another predator". Nonhumans lack this capacity, so we shouldn't look to them for moral inspiration and guidance. --DVH
~ Doesn't hunting control wildlife populations that would otherwise get out of hand?
Starvation and disease are unfortunate, but they are nature's way of ensuring that the strong survive. Natural predators help keep prey species strong by killing only the sick and weak. Hunters, however, kill any animal they come across or any animal they think would look good mounted above the fireplace--often the large, healthy animals needed to keep the population strong. In fact, hunting creates the ideal conditions for accelerated reproduction. The abrupt drop in population leads to less competition among survivors, resulting in a higher birth rate. If we were really concerned about keeping animals from starving, we would not hunt, but, rather, take steps to reduce the animals' fertility. We would also preserve wolves, mountain lions, coyotes, and other natural predators. In actuality, many predator species are killed in order to produce more and more "game"; animals for hunters to kill.
Hunters often assert that their practices benefit their victims. A variation on the theme is their common assertion that their actions keep populations in check so that animals do not die of starvation ("a clean bullet in the brain is preferable to a slow death by starvation"). Following are some facts and questions about hunting and "wildlife management" that reveal what is really happening.
Game animals, such as deer, are physiologically adapted to cope with seasonal food shortages. It is the young that bear the brunt of starvation. Among adults, elderly and sick animals also starve. But the hunters do not seek out and kill only these animals at risk of starvation; rather, they seek the strongest and most beautiful animals (for maximum meat or trophy potential). The hunters thus recruit the forces of natural selection against the species that they claim to be defending.
The hunters restrict their activities to only those species that are attractive for their meat or trophy potential. If the hunters were truly concerned with protecting species from starvation, why do they not perform their "service" for the skunk, or the field mouse? And why is hunting not limited to times when starvation occurs, if hunting has as a goal the prevention of starvation? (The reason that deer aren't hunted in early spring or late winter--when starvation occurs--is that the carcasses would contain less fat, and hence, be far less desirable to meat consumers. Also, hunting then would be unpopular to hunters due to the snow, mud, and insects.)
So-called "game management" policies are actually programs designed to eliminate predators of the game species and to artificially provide additional habitat and resources for the game species. Why are these predator species eliminated when they would provide a natural and ecologically sound mechanism for controlling the population of game species? Why are such activities as burning, clear-cutting, chemical defoliation, flooding, and bulldozing employed to increase the populations of game animals, if hunting has as its goal the reduction of populations to prevent starvation? The truth is that the management agencies actually try to attain a maximum sustainable yield, or harvest, of game animals.
The wildlife managers and hunters preferentially kill male animals, a policy designed to keep populations high. If overpopulation were really a concern, they would preferentially kill females.
Another common practice that belies the claim that wildlife management has as a goal the reduction of populations to prevent starvation is the practice of game stocking. For example, in the state of New York the Department of Environmental Conservation obtains pheasants raised in captivity and then releases them in areas frequented by hunters.
For every animal killed by a hunter, two are seriously injured and left to die a slow death. Given these statistics, it is clear that hunting fails even in its proclaimed goal--the reduction of suffering.
The species targeted by hunters, both the game animals and their predators, have survived in balance for millions of years, yet now wildlife managers and hunters insist they need to be "managed". The legitimate task of wildlife management should be to preserve viable, natural wildlife populations and ecosystems.
In addition to the animal toll, hunters kill hundreds of human beings every year.
Finally, there is an ethical argument to consider. Thousands of human beings die from starvation each and every day. Should we assume that the reader will one day be one of them, and dispatch him straight away? Definitely not. AR ethics asserts that this same consideration should be accorded to the deer. --DG
Unless hunting is part of a controlled culling process, it is unlikely to be of benefit in any population maintenance. The number and distribution of animals slaughtered is unrelated to any perceived maldistribution of species, but is more closely related to the predilections of the hunters.
Indeed, hunting, whether for "pleasure" or profit, has a history more closely associated with bringing animals close to, or into, extinction, rather than protecting from overpopulation. Examples include the buffalo and the passenger pigeon. With the advent of modern "wildlife management", we see a transition to systems designed to artificially increase the populations of certain species to sustain a yield or harvest for hunters.
The need for population control of animals generally arises either from the introduction of species that have become pests or from indigenous animals that are competing for resources (such as the kangaroo, which competes with sheep and cattle). These imbalances usually have a human base. It is more appropriate to examine our resource uses and requirements, and to act more responsibly in our relationship with the environment, than to seek a "solution" to self-created problems through the morally dubious practice of hunting. --JK
"...the American public is footing the bill for predator-control programs that cause the systematic slaughter of refuge animals. Raccoons and red fox, squirrel and skunks are but a few of the many egg-eating predators trapped and destroyed in the name of "wildlife management programs". Sea gulls are shot, fox pups poisoned, and coyotes killed by aerial gunners in low-flying aircraft. This wholesale destruction is taking place on the only Federal lands set aside to protect America's wildlife!" --Humane Society of the United States
"The creed of maximum sustainable yield unmasks the rhetoric about "humane service" to animals. It must be a perverse distortion of the ideal of humane service to accept or engage in practices the explicit goal of which is to insure that there will be a larger, rather than a smaller, number of animals to kill! With "humane friends" like that, wild animals certainly do not need any enemies." --Tom Regan (philosopher and AR activist)
"The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature...We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters...and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult." --Jacques Cousteau (oceanographer)
~ Aren't hunting fees the major source of revenue for wildlife management and habitat restoration?
We have seen in question #65 that practices described as "wildlife management" are actually designed to increase the populations of game species desirable to hunters. Viewed in this light, the connection between hunting fees and the wildlife agencies looks more like an incestuous relationship than a constructive one designed to protect the general public's interests. Following are some more facts of interest in this regard.
Only 7 percent of the population hunt, yet all pay via taxation for hunting programs and services. Licenses account for only a fraction of the cost of hunting programs at the national level. For example, the US Fish and Wildlife Service programs get up to 90 percent of their revenues from general tax revenues. At the state level, hunting fees make up the largest part, and a significant part is obtained from Federal funds obtained from excise taxes on guns and ammunition. These funds are distributed to the states based on the number of hunters in the state! It is easy to see, then, how the programs are designed to appease and satisfy hunters.
It is important to remember that state game officials are appointed, not elected, and their salaries are paid through the purchase of hunting fees. This ensures that these officials regard the hunters as their constituents. David Favre, Professor of Wildlife Law at the Detroit College of Law, describes the situation as follows:
The primary question asked by many within these special [state] agencies would be something like, "How do we provide the best hunting experience for the hunters of our state?" The literature is replete with surveys of hunter desires and preferences in an attempt to serve these constituents.
...Three factors support the status quo within the agency. First, as with most bureaucracies, individuals are hesitant to question their own on-going programs...Second, besides the normal bureaucratics, most state game agencies have a substantial group of individuals who are strong advocates for the hunters of the state. They are not neutral but very supportive of the hunting ethic and would not be expected to raise broader questions. Finally, and in many ways most importantly, is the funding mechanism...Since a large proportion of the funds which run the department and pay the salaries are from hunters and fishermen, there is a strong tendency for the agency to consider itself not as representing and working for the general public but that they need only serve their financial sponsors, the hunters and fishermen of the state. If your financial support is dependent on the activity of hunting, obviously very few are going to question the ecological or ethical problems therewith.
Many would argue that these funding arrangements constitute a prostitution of the public lands for the benefit of the few. We can envision possible alternatives to these arrangements. Other users of parks and natural resources, such as hikers, bird watchers, wildlife enthusiasts, eco-tourists, etc., can provide access to funds necessary for real habitat restoration and wildlife management, not the perverted brand that caters to the desires of hunters. As far as acquisition and protection of land is concerned, organizations such as the Nature Conservancy play an important role. They can do much more with even a fraction of the funding currently earmarked to subsidize hunting ($500 million per year). --DG/JK
~ Isn't hunting OK as long as we eat what we kill?
Did the fact that Jeffrey Dahmer ate his victims justify his crimes? What is done with a corpse after its murder doesn't lessen the victim's suffering. Furthermore, hunters are harming animals other than the ones they kill and take home. It is estimated that for every animal a hunter kills and recovers, at least two wounded but unrecovered animals die slowly and painfully of blood loss, infection, or starvation. Those who don't die outright often suffer disabling injuries. The stress that hunting inflicts on animals--the noise, the fear, and the constant chase--severely restricts their ability to eat adequately and store the fat and energy they need to survive the winter. Hunting also disrupts migration and hibernation. For animals like wolves who mate for life and have close-knit family units, hunting can severely harm entire communities.
Some vegetarians accept that where farmers or small landholders breed, maintain, and then kill their own livestock there is an argument for their eating that meat. There would need, at all stages, to be a humane life and death involved. Hunting seems not to fit within this argument because the kill is often not "clean", and the hunter has not had any involvement in the birth and growth of the animal.
As the arguments in the FAQ demonstrate, however, there is a wider context in which these actions have to be considered. Animals are sentient creatures who share many of our characteristics. The question is not only whether it is acceptable to eat an animal (which we perhaps hunted and killed), but if it is an appropriate action to take--stalking and murdering another animal, or eating the product of someone else's killing. Is it a proper action for a supposedly rational and ethical man or woman? --JK
This question reminds one of question #12, where it is suggested that killing and eating an animal is justified because the animal is raised for that purpose. The process leading up to the eating is used to justify the eating. In this question, the eating is used to justify the process leading up to it. Both attempts are totally illogical. Imagine telling the police not to worry that you have just stalked and killed a person because you ate the person! --DG
~ Fish are dumb like insects; what's wrong with fishing?
Fish are not "dumb" except in the sense that they are unable to speak. They have a complex nervous system based around a brain and spinal cord similar to other vertebrates. They are not as intelligent as humans in terms of functioning in our social and physical environment, but they are very successful and effective in their own environment. Behavioral studies indicate that they exhibit complex forms of learning, such as operant conditioning, serial reversal learning, probability learning, and avoidance learning. Many authorities doubt that there is a significant qualitative difference between learning in fishes and that in rats.
Many people who fish talk about the challenge of fishing, and the contest between themselves and the fish (on a one-to-one basis, not in relation to trawling or other net fishing). This implies an awareness and intelligence in the hunted of a level at least sufficient to challenge the hunter.
The death inflicted by fishing--a slow asphyxiation either in a net or after an extended period fighting against a barbed hook wedged somewhere in their head--is painful and distressing to a sentient animal. Those that doubt that fish feel pain must explain why it is that their brains contain endogenous opiates and receptors for them; these are accepted as mechanisms for the attenuation of pain in other vertebrates. --JK
Some people believe that it is OK to catch fish as long as they are returned to the water. But, when you think about it, it's as if one is playing with the fish. Also, handling the fish wipes off an important disease-fighting coating on their scales. The hook can be swallowed, leading to serious complications, and even if it isn't, pulling it out of their mouth leaves a lesion that is open to infection. --JSD

Furthermore, hunters are harming animals other than the ones they kill and take home. It is estimated that for every animal a hunter kills and recovers, at least two wounded but unrecovered animals die slowly and painfully of blood loss, infection, or starvation. Those who don't die outright often suffer disabling injuries. The stress that hunting inflicts on animals--the noise, the fear, and the constant chase--severely restricts their ability to eat adequately and store the fat and energy they need to survive the winter. Hunting also disrupts migration and hibernation. For animals like wolves who mate for life and have close-knit family units, hunting can severely harm entire communities.
Some vegetarians accept that where farmers or small landholders breed, maintain, and then kill their own livestock there is an argument for their eating that meat. There would need, at all stages, to be a humane life and death involved. Hunting seems not to fit within this argument because the kill is often not "clean", and the hunter has not had any involvement in the birth and growth of the animal.
As the arguments in the FAQ demonstrate, however, there is a wider context in which these actions have to be considered. Animals are sentient creatures who share many of our characteristics. The question is not only whether it is acceptable to eat an animal (which we perhaps hunted and killed), but if it is an appropriate action to take--stalking and murdering another animal, or eating the product of someone else's killing. Is it a proper action for a supposedly rational and ethical man or woman? --JK
This question reminds one of question #12, where it is suggested that killing and eating an animal is justified because the animal is raised for that purpose. The process leading up to the eating is used to justify the eating. In this question, the eating is used to justify the process leading up to it. Both attempts are totally illogical. Imagine telling the police not to worry that you have just stalked and killed a person because you ate the person! --DG
~ Fish are dumb like insects; what's wrong with fishing?
Fish are not "dumb" except in the sense that they are unable to speak. They have a complex nervous system based around a brain and spinal cord similar to other vertebrates. They are not as intelligent as humans in terms of functioning in our social and physical environment, but they are very successful and effective in their own environment. Behavioral studies indicate that they exhibit complex forms of learning, such as operant conditioning, serial reversal learning, probability learning, and avoidance learning. Many authorities doubt that there is a significant qualitative difference between learning in fishes and that in rats.
Many people who fish talk about the challenge of fishing, and the contest between themselves and the fish (on a one-to-one basis, not in relation to trawling or other net fishing). This implies an awareness and intelligence in the hunted of a level at least sufficient to challenge the hunter.
The death inflicted by fishing--a slow asphyxiation either in a net or after an extended period fighting against a barbed hook wedged somewhere in their head--is painful and distressing to a sentient animal. Those that doubt that fish feel pain must explain why it is that their brains contain endogenous opiates and receptors for them; these are accepted as mechanisms for the attenuation of pain in other vertebrates. --JK
Some people believe that it is OK to catch fish as long as they are returned to the water. But, when you think about it, it's as if one is playing with the fish. Also, handling the fish wipes off an important disease-fighting coating on their scales. The hook can be swallowed, leading to serious complications, and even if it isn't, pulling it out of their mouth leaves a lesion that is open to infection. --JSD

World Stroke Day-29th October Special series..Preventing stroke
Unhealthy diet is a major risk factor for a stroke. High-fat foods can lead to the build-up of fatty plaques in your arteries.It also results in excessive weight.Being overweight can lead to high blood pressure and diabetes which are again risk factors for stroke.A low-fat, high-fibre diet is recommended, including plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables (five portions a day) and whole grains. Also, keep salt intake under check.
15 GROOMING TIPS TO TRANSFORM YOUR HORSE
1. Ask your vet about adding vegetable oil or an essential Omega-3 fatty acid supplement to your horse’s well-balanced diet for added shine.
2. Sponging your horse’s face clean after exercise helps prevent fungal hair loss.
3. Keep different sized sponges for different duties (face, body, dock) and remember which is used for each task.
4. Hoof picks are cheap. Always use a sharp one to remove rocks and debris, and replace the pick when it no longer does the job easily.
5. Use a tail bag to keep your horse’s tail thick, long and protected. Make sure to wash, condition, detangle and rebraid once a week, securing the tail bag below the tailbone.
6. Spend two minutes every two weeks running your clippers over your horse’s bridlepath and whiskers.
7. Hoof oils and dressings for health or show are available. If you have a particular concern in mind, such as hooves that crack easily, ask your farrier for product suggestions.
8. Use a detangler and a wide-toothed comb (or your fingers) to remove any large snarls from mane and tail.
9. Dark coats often fade or bleach in the sunlight, so provide plenty of shade and consider adding a sheet. Sweat in the coat accelerates the fade, so rinse a sweaty horse before allowing him to bask in the sunshine.
10. Bathe your horse but don’t overdo it—frequent shampooing may actually dull his coat.
11. An equine squeegee, rather than a hard sweat scraper, makes removing water from equine legs and hips easier and kinder.
12. For extra shine on special occasions, spritz your horse’s coat with a sheen product.
13. Regular use of coat polish sprays right after bathing has the added bonus of deterring dust—it slides right off.
14. Horses with pink skin need extra sun protection—use sunscreen on susceptible pink noses!
15. To help protect against skin infections, regularly disinfect grooming brushes and combs.

WE ARE "HORSE PEOPLE" - people don't have to understand us... We have no problem eating a sandwich directly after mucking stalls. We know why a thermometer has to have a string attached to the end and lights and cords have to be covered or kept out of reach. We know that all external medicine is either waterproof, blue or yellow. We are not welcome in Laundromats.
We can lower or raise our voice instantly by 5 octaves to shout at the dog who has decided to stalk a horse or make a snack of horse apples. We would sooner quit a relationship than give up our horse. We talk to our truck to make it up the hill and believe that a new truck is a luxury car. We know more about our horse's diet than our own. We buy grain and hay before buying our own food. It’s common to see us wearing barn clothes in public, and we wear them with pride...mud and all.
We know that mucking a stall is the best cure for depression even if we cry the whole time while doing it. We get along better with most animals than people. We are quick to lend a hand in a crisis and we will always make time for a friend. We know that only horse people understand this special community we're a part of, and know we share something special. A hand shake is our bond.

The Rat Temple of Rajasthan
Karni Mata or the rat temple Constructed by Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner, in the early 1900s as a tribute to the rat goddess, Karni Mata, the Hindu temple is home to thousands of rats who live in harmony among the tourists, priests and followers. Karni Mata, a mystic matriarch from the 14th century, was an incarnation of Durga, the Hindu goddess of power and victory. Deshnok became the chosen location as Durga’s father found her future husband in the remote Rajasthani village. Time-lines are sketchy, although there are claims the rats have reportedly been living here for 6 centuries.
The temple is famous for the approximately 20,000 Black Rats that live, and are revered in, the temple. If one of the rats is killed, it must be replaced with one made of solid gold. Eating food that has been nibbled on by the rats is considered to be a "high honor".A daily diet of milk, water and sweets provided by the temple keeps the rats scampering throughout the complex.
Karni Mata was born on 2 October 1387 in the village of Suwap in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan. The seventh daughter of Mehoji Charan and his wife Deval Devi, her original name was Ridhubai. According to legend, she earned the honorific name Karni at age six by miraculously curing her aunt. Mata—a term meaning "mother"— was commonly added to the names of those worshipped as mother goddesses. She married Dipoji Charan of the village of Sathika around AD 1415 but did not live a conventional "married life."
Later on she arranged the marriage of her husband with her younger sister Gulab. She lived in her in-laws' village for about two years before leaving with her followers and a herd of cattle to live a nomadic life, camping at sunset. One such camp was made at the village Jangloo, but a servant of Rao Kanha who was ruler of the place, denied them access to water for people and cows. On this, Karni Mata declared her follower Rao Ridmal of Chandasar as new ruler of the village and continued on her journey. When she reached near Deshnok, Rao Kanha himself came to oppose her camping but he died.[clarification needed] Karni mata stopped further wandering and started living there. Her husband Depoji died in 1454.
In 1453, she gave her blessing to Rao Jodha of Jodhpur for conquering Ajmer, Merta and Mandor. In 1457, she went to Jodhpur at Rao Jodha's request to lay the cornerstone of the fort at Jodhpur.
Her first temple was constructed in the village of Mathaniya during her lifetime by her follower Amara Charan. In 1472, she arranged the marriage of Rao Bika (the fifth son of Rao Jodha) and Rang Kunwar (daughter of Rao Shekha of Pungal) to turn the enmity of the Rathor and Bhatian families into friendship. In 1485, she laid the foundation stone of the fort of Bikaner at the request of Rao Bika. In 1538, Karniji went to visit Maharaja of Jaisalmer. She was travelling back to Deshnok with her stepson Poonjar and a few other followers on 21 March 1538. They were near Gadiyala and Girirajsar of Kolayat district in Bikaner district where she asked the caravan to stop for water. She disappeared there, reportedly at the age of 151 years.
White rats
Out of all of the thousands of rats in the temple, there are a few white rats, which are considered to be especially holy. They are believed to be the manifestations of Karni Mata herself and her four sons. Sighting them is a special blessing and visitors put in extensive efforts to bring them forth, offering prasad, a sweet holy food.

2012-10-28 16:57:25World Stroke Day-29th October Special series..Preventing stroke
Unhealthy diet is a major risk factor for a stroke. High-fat foods can lead to the build-up of fatty plaques in your arteries.It also results in excessive weight.Being overweight can lead to high blood pressure and diabetes which are again risk factors for stroke.A low-fat, high-fibre diet is recommended, including plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables (five portions a day) and whole grains. Also, keep salt intake under check.
6 Foods to Avoid for Bone Health:-
Bones form the foundation of your body and hence you should take special care to maintain the health of your bones. Your diet has an impact on bone health, both in the positive and in the negative way!
Calcium-rich foods enhance bone health. But do you know that there are certain other foods which can cause weakening of your bones by leaching out minerals from them? Surprised? But it is a true fact. Let's see what these bone-weakening foods are:
1. Soft Drinks:
Many soft drinks contain phosphoric acid which increases the rate of calcium excretion through the urine. Additionally, many soft drink consumers avoid drinking other calcium-rich drinks like milk or calcium and vitamin D fortified orange juice, thus lowering their overall calcium intake. You can help yourself by swapping the carbonated drinks with healthy options like milk, fruit smoothie, yogurt, and calcium and Vitamin D fortified orange juice.
2. Salt:
Salt, or more specifically sodium, causes calcium loss, weakening bones over time. According to experts, you would lose around 40 milligrams of calcium in urine for every 2,300 milligrams of sodium, the amount of sodium you should get in a day (present in a teaspoon of salt). In a study conducted on post menopausal women, it was found that women who consumed a high-sodium diet lost more bone minerals in comparison to those who didn't.
Apart from table salt, salt also shows up in nearly all processed foods like breakfast cereals, whole grain breads, and fast foods, making up 75 percent of the total sodium consumption. Cooking without salt and can help, but limiting your consumption of processed foods provides the most help. Eating plenty ofpotassium-rich foods can also help decrease the loss of calcium as potassium helps balance sodium levels in blood. Foods rich in potassium include sweet potatoes, bananas, tomatoes, and spinach.
3. Caffeine:
Caffeine is present not only in coffee, but also in energy drinks (around 80 milligrams per can). Since caffeine containing drinks have an addictive element, so you might find it difficult to switch to other healthy options. Limit your intake of coffee to just one or two cups in the morning while getting adequate calcium to offset any losses caffeine causes. You can also try switching to tea as research suggests that, although tea contains caffeine, it does not harm. Researchers think that plant compounds present in tea might be protecting bone. Adding milk to your coffee can also reduce some of the bone-sapping effects.
4. Alcohol:
Research shows that excess alcohol intake can affect your bone health and increase the risk of osteoporosis later in life. When you drink too much alcohol every day, it interferes with the pancreas and its absorption of calcium and vitamin D, both of which are essential nutrients for your bones.
Additionally, heavy drinking affects the functioning of osteoblasts, the bone-making cells. Some studies also suggest that alcohol decreases the female hormone, estrogen, and can lead to irregular periods in women. As estrogen levels decreases, the bone remodeling process slows down leading to bone loss. You can help by limiting yourself to one drink every day or quitting althogether. When you quit drinking, your bones may recover fairly rapidly.
5. Vitamin A:
Vitamin A, found in eggs, liver and full-fat dairy is good for vision and the immune system, but a study conducted by Swedish researchers and published in The New England Journal of Medicine has found that excessive intake of vitamin A can increase a person's risk of bone fracture by as much as seven times.
According to researchers, the findings explain the high rates of hip fractures in Scandinavia and the United States where the use of vitamin supplements and vitamin A fortification is common. However, vitamin A is still important in small doses. You can opt for low fat or non fat dairy products, and take egg whites only since egg yolks are rich in Vitamin A. Also, if you take multivitamin, it's a good idea to be aware of how much vitamin A is in your daily multivitamin to avoid getting too much.
6. Hydrogenated Oils:
Studies have shown that Vitamin K gets destroyed when liquid vegetable oils get converted into solid oils by the process of hydrogenation. Vitamin K is needed for strong bones and for calcium absorption. Green leafy vegetables contain the highest amount of Vitamin K and vegetable oils like canola oil and olive oil are the second best sources. If you love baked items which are prepared by hydrogenated oils, then try making cookies and muffins at home using canola oil.
You might find it difficult to control your urges for these foods. It is not very easy and you cannot switch over to healthy options all of a sudden. But cutting back slowly and steadily would allow you to escape the long term consequences.
Final note: first consult your doctor for professional guidance on their suitability to your individual case.

HEALTH TIP: We should avoid cholesterol if we want to be healthy and avoid heart disease, right? Not necessarily. You see, concerning the cholesterol and heart disease, there are thousands of HEALTHY 80+ year old folks with cholesterol levels in the 200’s!
There are many “myths” associated with cholesterol, including:
• High-fat foods and cholesterol cause atherosclerosis leading to the obstruction of blood vessels in the heart
• Lowering your cholesterol will lengthen your life
• Polyunsatured oils are good for your health
• All scientists and doctors support the idea that high cholesterol causes heart disease
• Statin drugs are essential in controlling cholesterol levels and preventing heart disease
Believing all of these cholesterol myths, Americans decreased their intake of good fats and oils (like coconut oil, fish oil, olive oil) and started consuming more vegetable oils and margarine (a trans fat). This diet has CAUSED thousands of deaths from heart disease, as have the statin drugs which supposedly prevent heart disease, but in reality have numerous deleterious effects.
Statins are “HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors”, that is, they act by blocking the enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) in your liver that is responsible for making cholesterol. There are over 900 studies proving the adverse effects of statin drugs, including anemia, cancer, chronic fatigue, acidosis, liver dysfunction, thyroid disruption, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and even diabetes! Statins have been shown to increase your risk of diabetes through a few different mechanisms. The most important one is that they increase insulin resistance, which contributes to chronic inflammation (the common element of most diseases) and actually *RESULTS* in heart disease, which, ironically, is the primary reason for taking a cholesterol-reducing drug in the first place!
Perhaps most importantly, cholesterol is *NOT* the cause of heart disease. Your body NEEDS cholesterol. What Is Cholesterol? Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that’s found in all the cells of our body. It has a hormone-like structure that behaves like a fat in that it is insoluble in water and in blood. Cholesterol travels through your bloodstream in small packages called “lipoproteins” which are made of lipids (fats) on the inside and proteins on the outside.
Cholesterol plays a critical role in body chemistry. It is ESSENTIAL to our health. When we lower cholesterol, we actually CREATE sickness and disease!
Every cell of the body needs cholesterol to maintain the integrity of its cell membrane. Cholesterol makes the cell membrane more rigid but prevents it from crystallizing. Cholesterol is needed for the liver to make bile; it is the precursor for steroidal hormones (estrogen and testosterone), and in the presence of sunlight, the body can use the photolytic action of UV light on the cholesterol in the skin cells to make Vitamin D, which is essential for our immune system and also maintains the balance of calcium and phosphorus for strong bones and teeth.
Perhaps most importantly, cholesterol is an essential component in the machinery that triggers the release of neurotransmitters in the brain. Mother’s milk is especially rich in cholesterol and contains a special enzyme that helps the baby utilize it. Babies and children need cholesterol-rich foods throughout their growing years to ensure proper development of the brain and nervous system. Cholesterol is very concentrated in the brain, where it contributes to the functioning of “synapses” (tiny gaps between cells which allow nerves to communicate with each other). There is also strong evidence that having too little cholesterol INCREASES your risk for cancer, memory loss, Parkinson's disease, hormonal imbalances, stroke, depression, suicide, and violent behavior.
According to recent research at Harvard, the primary causes of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries which leads to heart disease) are lesions and plaque in the arteries caused by SUGAR which causes insulin to be released. Insulin causes lesions in the endothelium of the arteries that become clogged with cholesterol. So, cholesterol gets the blame, but the real culprit is sugar. So, if you avoid sugar and simple carbs, cholesterol is not an issue.

When I first made the decision to become vegan, my family was aghast.
“What do you mean we’re going vegan?” my husband retorted. “Do you always have to be so extreme? Can’t we just start out by eating less meat?”
“Hmm…” I thought about it for a moment. I did have a tendency to go to extremes sometimes. Was this one of those occasions?
“No, I don’t think so.”
My kids were very wary of the whole idea, but they were considerably more open to the prospect of eating delicious vegan food - which I had inadvertently promised in my effort to make the idea more appealing:
“Everything will be yummy?” asked my daughter, then 6 years old, her brown eyes sparkling.
“Yes,” I said, kicking myself. What was I promising exactly? My cooking was barely edible as it was, never mind with the extra challenge of cooking without eggs, fish, milk, or meat!
“Okay mama,” she chimed, her decision made, her lips parted in a smile.
“Really?” I asked, slightly bewildered.
“Don’t worry, mama. It’ll be okay.”
“It will?”
“Yup. Anyway,” my daughter shrugged nonchalantly, “Sausages aren’t made out of meat. We can still eat sausages, right?”
“Hmm…” I kicked myself again. I’d forgotten about the sausages. At an early age, my daughter had developed a vague idea about the cruelty of factory farming. It had not occurred to me that she had not yet made the connection between factory farming and her favorite foods – which, at the time, included sausages.
“No, honey, I don’t think so.”
Needless to say, I took the challenge to heart when I saw my children’s crestfallen expressions as I explained to them that we would have to do without cheese and eggs and sausages, until I could figure out my way around more compassionate, vegan substitutes. Of course, my entire family was very supportive. No one wanted to have anything to do with the senseless torture and slaughter of factory farmed animals. Despite his love for steaks, roast beef, and chicken, my husband was the first to express his desire – no matter how ambivalent at first – to transition to a more peaceful, compassionate way of life.
For an entire year, I threw myself wholeheartedly into the task of preparing fresh, delicious, generally wholesome vegan meals. I knew that if we were going to become vegan and give up all animal products, including dairy, eggs, fish, seafood and a plethora of animal-derived substances, we would have to do it together as a family. What better way to convince them of the wondrous nature of the vegan lifestyle than to ply them with delicious animal-free dishes?
Of course, in the beginning, it was quite a bit more complicated than I had planned. To be perfectly honest, I had absolutely no idea about what I was doing. Although I had prepared tofu for my family in the past, I had never tasted seitan or tempeh, and I had never eaten beans that hadn’t come directly out of a can. Let’s just say that in the beginning, my husband and I spent A LOT OF TIME shopping. We visited health stores, specialty shops, farmers’ markets, and Middle Eastern and Asian grocers. We checked the ingredients of every single item (I kid you not!) displayed in the organic section of our local supermarket. And we spent A LOT OF MONEY on every conceivable package of processed vegan food we could find.
At that time, I had no idea that it was even POSSIBLE to bake without eggs and dairy products. Just imagine my ignorance! In the neighborhood in which we lived, there was no such thing as a vegan confectionary shop or a dairy-free bakery. In fact, at that time, I had never even tasted a cookie or a piece of cake that had been made without animal ingredients. So, as I stumbled along like a bumbling fool around the aisles of the natural health foods store, I grabbed every sweet vegan confection I could find – not that there were very many at the time – gluten-free coconut macaroons, organic vanilla creams, spicy ginger snaps, and chocolate cookies imported from Europe. I threw whatever I could find into my enormous stainless steel trolley now overflowing with processed vegan junk in a valiant attempt to alleviate my growing sense of motherly guilt: “What am I doing? What kind of mother doesn’t let her kids have a cookie every now and again?”
Thankfully, I had made the connection between a vegan lifestyle and the importance of incorporating more fresh fruits and vegetables into our diet. As we made our way through organic supermarkets and farmers’ stands, I became suddenly aware of a bountiful selection of vegetables that I had never really prepared before – with wonderfully exotic names like arugula, Swiss chard, parsnips, kale, collard, rapini, daikon, fennel, endive, celeriac, leeks, kohlrabi, and beets. Well, this was a truly joyful moment for me! I felt healthy and beautiful and glowing as I piled all of these lovely, fragrant vegetables into my basket, feeling as if I had torn these vegetables from the earth myself with my bare hands, basking in the warm glow of the afternoon sun.
When I got home, I excitedly shuffled through all of my wonderful purchases, carefully re-organizing my pantry and my refrigerator to accommodate the influx of new ingredients. With a sudden outburst of energy, I began chopping and slicing immediately. My family was waiting for a delicious, hot vegan meal, and I was determined not to fail. I don’t remember what our first vegan dinner consisted of, but I am sure that my table – as it would be for the next 6 months – was literally overflowing with food. In my attempt to make up for all of the things that I thought we were “giving up” to embrace our new vegan lifestyle, I found myself overcompensating in every possible way. At every meal, including breakfast, I would carefully prepare a ridiculous assortment of vegetable casseroles, tofu spreads, bean stews and chilis, Asian noodle dishes, fresh fruit salads, veggie pâtés, flatbreads, and pastas. I would also include a lavish display of store-bought cakes, cookies, and vegan cheeses and sausages. At mealtime, my table was laid out with such a gargantuan amount of food that my husband – and any guest who might have shared our meal at the time – would express their anxiety over their ability to eat it all !
I know. I know. I was being ridiculous, but I was so concerned that my husband and children would revolt at the prospect of giving up animal products that I refused to budge even an inch. My madness continued. On one specific occasion, I remember that I had piled so much food on the table that there was literally no place for anyone to sit ! I think our friends and family were afraid that we would ask them to stay for dinner because I would always serve up such an outlandish amount of food ! And, don’t even get me started on dinner parties. I think I spent more time in the kitchen and more money on food in that one year alone than I have altogether in the eight or nine years since. Yes, I’m exaggerating – but only to illustrate the extent of my folly.
It took me an entire year to rehabilitate myself from “overcompensating vegan mom” to “normal vegan mom.” As the days went by, and as my cooking skills improved, I became more and more confident about my family’s willingness to embrace a vegan diet. As I learned to bake – badly – my children were quick to take over the task of churning out vegan coconut cakes, sugar cookies, butter tarts, chocolate brownies, lemon cupcakes, and blueberry pies.
Although each member of the family still longed for something “special” from the past – Szechuan shrimp, fried eggs on toast, chicken pot pie, fluffy whipped cream – it would only be a matter of time before we found something that could take its place to satisfy that stubborn childhood craving. We found a restaurant that prepared battered, pan fried, vegan shrimp and another that had developed a brilliant recipe for vegan Eggs Benedict. While we were travelling, we discovered a tiny hole in the wall that served up lovely cups of hot chocolate topped with mounds of cold coconut whipped cream. And within a few years, we had become proficient enough in our own kitchen to create all kinds of dishes, including all of the above, as well as the prized vegan pot pie.
To everyone out there who is transitioning to a vegan diet, here is a little piece of advice: Relax. Take a deep breath. There is no need to rush maniacally around the city – like I did – in a desperate attempt to prove to yourself and to everyone you know that the choices you have made for yourself and for your family are sound. It took only a month for my family to embrace our new vegan way of life, and contrary to what I had initially thought, there was little in-fighting that took place among us as we sat down to family meals. In fact, there was absolutely none.
Children, after all, have an incredibly intuitive understanding of what is right and what is wrong. They know that the cruelty inflicted upon animals is avoidable and unnecessary. Although they may have initially missed their sausages and their cupcakes, my children – to this day - are the ones who constantly remind me of the importance of the decision we made – together as a family – to adopt a vegan lifestyle so many years ago.
Thanks to their unwavering commitment and thanks to the loving and unconditional support provided by my husband as he put up with my obsessive and painfully unsuccessful attempts to transform myself into the Martha Stewart of vegan cooking, we have embarked on a peaceful, more compassionate journey through life, one which has led us through countless shared culinary adventures.

THE DIVINE MESSAGE OF PUJYA BAPUJI FOR SHARAD
PUNAM
HARI OM... Sharad Poornima Sharad Poornima, also known as Kojaagari Poornima, is
celebrated on a full moon day of the Hindu lunar month
of Ashwin (September-Octo ber). It is also known as Kaumudi (moonlight) celebration, as on this day, the
Moon showers amrit or elixir of life on earth through its
rays. The brightness of the full moon brings special joy
and marks the changing season, the end of the
monsoon. It was also on this night over 5,000 years ago
that Lord Krishna and Radhaji revealed the Supreme Divine bliss to innumerable Gopis in Vrindavan. Medical Significance: It is considered that the Moon and the Earth are at a
closer distance on Sharad Poornima night. Due to this,
the rays of the moon have several curative properties.
Keeping food under the moonlight nourishes both the
body and the soul. Following are some health tips which
we all can benefit from during Sharad Poornima. For Happiness & Good Health All the Year round : On Sharad Poonam, make kheer of Rice, Milk, Mishri in
the evening. Put some gold or silver for sometime while
making Kheer; then place it in the Moonlight for about
2-3 hours from about 8:30 PM onwards. Don’t cook
any other food for that night, only eat Kheer. We should
not take heavy diet in late night, hence eat Kheer accordingly. The Kheer which is placed in Sharad
Poonam night can also be taken in next day break-fast
after making it asPrasad by offering it to the Lord. Tips for Improving Eyesight : Do Tratak on Moon for 15-20 minutes in the night from
Dussehra to Sharad Poornima. To look with a constant
gaze without blinking the eye lids, is called Tratak. To be free from Eye troubles & for eyes to work
properly whole year, try to put thread in a needle in
Sharad Poonam Moonlight. (No other light should be
nearby). Do Jaagran on Sharad Poonam Night : Sharad Poonam Night is very beneficial for spiritual
upliftment, hence one should try & do Jaagran on this
night, i.e. as possible don’t sleep and do JapDhyan
Kirtan on this holy night.
Protect Yourself from Radiation with Flaxseeds
Friday, October 26th 2012
We are bombarded every day by harmful radiation and, shockingly, nearly half of our radiation exposure in the U.S. comes from medical tests like X-rays and CT scans. The balance comes from radiation in the earth, radon gas and radiation from space. And many worry about fallout from disasters like the meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan.
How do you protect yourself from radiation? Eat your flaxseeds.
A study from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that flaxseed may help protect lungs against the damage caused by radiation exposure. The researchers believe that flaxseed might also have a role in protecting other healthy tissues and organs before exposure to radiation and significantly reduces damage even after exposure.
According to principal investigator Melpo Christofidou-Solomidou, Ph.D., research associate professor of Medicine, Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Division, the study demonstrates that dietary flaxseed, already known for its strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, works as both a mitigator and protector against radiation damage.
In several separate experiments, the researchers fed one group of mice a diet supplemented with 10 percent flaxseed, either three weeks before a dose of X-ray radiation to the thorax or two, four, or six weeks after radiation exposure. A control group subjected to the same radiation dose was given the same diet but without the flaxseed supplement. After four months, only 40 percent of the irradiated control group survived compared to 70 to 88 percent of the irradiated flaxseed-fed animals.
The researchers point out that flaxseed boasts many other qualities that make it particularly attractive as a protection against radiation damage and a mitigator of exposure. "Flaxseed is safe, it's very cheap, it's readily available, there's nothing you have to synthesize," Dr. Christofidou-Solomidou noted. "It can be given orally so it has a very convenient administration route. It can be packaged and manufactured in large quantities. Best of all, you can store it for very long periods of time," making it especially interesting to government officials looking to stockpile radioprotective substances in case of accidental or terrorist-caused radiological disasters.
Co-author Keith Cengel, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of Radiation Oncology at Penn, explained in a press release that in cases of nuclear disaster, "a big issue is the 'worried well' -- all the folks who probably weren't exposed but are concerned and want to do something."
Dr. Christofidou-Solomidou added, "But this is absolutely safe. In fact, it is known to increase cardiovascular health ...It's loaded with omega-3 fatty acids."
Along with other researchers, the authors were planning further pilot studies on the potential of flaxseed for mitigation of lung damage in patients awaiting lung transplants and those undergoing radiation therapy, as well as astronauts exposed to radiation in outerspace.
The researchers are already convinced enough to incorporate flaxseed into their own routine. "I actually eat it every morning," said Dr. Cengel, noting, "The potential health benefits are significant and there is no known toxicity—it just makes good sense to me."
The list of potential health benefits of flaxseeds is very impressive due in part to the fact that they are a rich source of lignans.
Lignans are a class of phytoestrogens (plant estrogens) that also act as antioxidants. Other dietary lignans include seeds (sesame, sunflower and pumpkin), grains (rye, barley, wheat and oats), broccoli and beans, but the tiny flaxseed has over 800 times the amount of lignans as any of the others.
An ancient plant, flax (also known as linseed) has been part of human history for over 30,000 years. It has been used for weaving cloth, feeding people and animals, and even making paint. Hippocrates recommended it in 650 B.C. for abdominal pain. Charlemagne was so taken with the special benefits of flax that in the 8th century he required by law that his subjects consume it.
Benefits of Flaxseed for Menopausal Women
When eaten, lignans are broken down by bacteria in the gut into 2 estrogen-like compounds that circulate through the liver. These compounds have been proven in animal studies to help prevent breast cancer and colon cancer by preventing tumor growth.
In postmenopausal women, studies have shown that eating 25 grams of ground flaxseed a day changes the way estrogen is handled in the body and provides protection against breast cancer.
According to Christiane Northrup in her classic book, "The Wisdom of Menopause," flaxseed lignans "help in both the prevention and treatment of breast and colon cancer because of their ability to modulate the production, availability, and action of the hormones produced in our bodies."
Flax is so good at balancing hormones, that a 2007 Mayo Clinic study of postmenopausal women found that it decreases hot flashes by almost 60%.
In addition, flax has been shown to be effective in managing cholesterol by lowering the so-called bad LDL cholesterol and raising good HDL cholesterol.
To add flax to your diet, grind the seeds in a coffee bean grinder, and add 1 or 2 tablespoons to cereals, yogurt or salads. Ground flax will go rancid so grind only a week's worth and store it in the refrigerator. You can also add it to baked breads and muffins. Aim for 2 to 4 tablespoons per day but work up to that gradually so that your digestive system adjusts to the high fiber.

Importance of nutrition therapy
.Diet is an important part of cancer treatment. Cancer patients have special nutrition needs and issues related to eating. Eating the right kinds of foods before, during and after treatment can help the patient feel better and stay stronger.
Cancer and its impact on nutrition
Cancerous tumors may produce chemicals that can affect the absorption of certain nutrients in the body. The body's use of protein, carbohydrates and fat may be affected,especially by tumors of the stomach or intestines.
A patient may appear to be eating enough, but the body may not be able to absorb all the nutrients from the food.
Goals of nutrition therapy in cancer
The goals of nutrition therapy for patients with cancer who are in active treatment and recovery are designed to restore nutrient shortages, maintain nutritional health and prevent complications
The goals of nutrition therapy are:
.Prevent or correct malnutrition.
.Prevent wasting of muscle, bone, blood, organs and other lean body mass.
.Help the patient tolerate treatment.
.Reduce nutrition-related side-effects and complications.
.Maintain strength and energy.
.Protect ability to fight infection.
.Help recovery and healing.
.Maintain or improve quality of life.
.To ensure optimal nutrition, a person has to eat and drink enough of the foods that contain key nutrients, which include plenty of vitamins, minerals, protein and water,and adequate amounts of carbohydrates and fats.
However, for many patients suffering from cancer, factors like side-effects of the disease and its treatment make it difficult for them to eat well. Other factors that interfere with eating include nausea, anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation,mouth ulcers, swallowing problems and pain. This leads to under-nutrition causing the patient to be weak, tired and makes him vulnerable to infections.
Eating too little protein and calories is the common nutrition problem facing many cancer patients.Protein and calories are important for healing, fighting infection and providing energy.
The goals of nutrition therapy for patients who have advanced cancer are designed to improve the quality of life and are:
Reduce side effects.
Reduce risk of infection.
Maintain strength and energy.
mprove quality of life.
Malnutrition in cancer patients
Anorexia is the condition where the patient loses his appetite or the desire to eat. It is a common symptom in people with cancer. Anorexia may occur early in the disease or later, when the tumor grows and spreads. Anorexia is the most common cause of malnutrition in cancer patients.
Cachexia is a wasting syndrome that causes weakness and a loss of weight, fat, and muscle. It commonly occurs in patients with tumors of the lung, pancreas, and upper gastrointestinal tract and less often inpatients with breast cancer or lower gastrointestinal cancer.
Anorexia and cachexia often occur together. Cachexia can occur in people who are eating enough, but who cannot absorb the nutrients. Cancer cachexia is not the same as starvation. Good eating habits during cancer care help the patient cope with the effects of the cancer and its treatment.
Nutrition therapy can help cancer patients get the nutrients needed to maintain body weight and strength, prevent body tissue from breaking down, rebuild tissue and fight infection.
Eating guidelines for cancer patients can be very different from the usual suggestions for healthful eating.
Nutrition recommendations for cancer patients are designed to help the patient cope with the effects of the cancer and its treatment. Some cancer treatments are more effective if the patient is well nourished and getting enough calories and protein in the diet. People who eat well during cancer treatment may even be able to handle higher doses of certain treatments. Being well-nourished has been linked to a better chance of recovery.
Nutritional requirements
Adequate nutrition is essential to meet the increased metabolic demands of the disease and prevent catabolism as much as possible and to alleviate the symptoms resulting from the disease and its treatment.
Energy: To prevent excessive weight loss and to meet the metabolic requirements, energy giving foods should be included in the diet.
Protein: Additional protein is required to provide Essential amino acids that are necessary for tissue regeneration, healing and rehabilitation.
Vitamins and minerals: Optimal intake of foods rich in vitamins, antioxidants, phytochemicals, phytoestrogens, immunomodulators and minerals is necessary as these nutrients help in fighting cancer and contain many phytonutrients that helps in cancer treatment.
Good nutrition continues to be important for patients who are in remission or whose cancer has been cured.
Cancer is a term used to refer malignant tumors. In this condition, Cells in a tissue proliferate without the normal controls on growth and spread to the adjacent issues,interfering with the function and often have undesirable systemic effects.
Importance of nutrition therapy
.Diet is an important part of cancer treatment. Cancer patients have special nutrition needs and issues related to eating. Eating the right kinds of foods before, during and after treatment can help the patient feel better and stay stronger.
Cancer and its impact on nutrition
Cancerous tumors may produce chemicals that can affect the absorption of certain nutrients in the body. The body's use of protein, carbohydrates and fat may be affected,especially by tumors of the stomach or intestines.
A patient may appear to be eating enough, but the body may not be able to absorb all the nutrients from the food.

Diesel
German Shepherd male, about 2 years old. Diesel was owner surrendered by someone who didn’t want to care for him anymore. He came to I Am Alive with a severe skin condition. This boy was lost, scared, scratching and in so much pain. We brought him to the veterinarian many times for testing. Luckily, slowly, his condition started to improve thanks to Iwona, who dedicated herself to caring for him and making sure that he got better. Diesel has food allergies and has been on a special diet for some time, and we have slowly introduced him to new proteins. He is on a raw diet now. He will only go to a home where his diet needs will be fulfilled. He is very friendly dog with humans. Diesel grew up with children and was gentle with them. He doesn’t seem to care about cats, but since he never lived with a cat we cannot be absolutely certain that he will do fine with them. He was never really walked and he needs some basic obedience. He doesn't seem aggressive towards other dogs but he needs to slowly get to really know them. He was never really socialized with outside life in his previous life so time and patience is important with this beautiful boy. He is very special to I Am Alive and we will want to find him a special home.
WE HAVE MANY BEAUTIFUL DOGS FOR ADOPTION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM PLEASE EMAIL US at iamalivedogrescue@gmail.com

Raw Okra Power - Cure for Diabetes?
Like ✔ Tag ✔ Share ✔
Please like our page:
http://www.facebook.com/LifestylePhilippines
My close friend, Toots, had problems with his blood sugar. He's diabetic. But one day he excitedly announced to us his recent find--okra could help normalize blood sugar levels dramatically. And he swore he was benefiting from it himself. He told us how--which I'll share with your later.
Okra can be seen everywhere. Both in the US and in Deeper Asia, it is called Okra. Some call it Ladies' Finger or Gumbo. It is said to have originated from Southeast Asia. Some say from Ethiopia or West Africa. Here in Deeper Asia, it is commonly seen in wet markets and some grocery stores. We love it grilled or mixed with other veggies in meat or fish soups. It's been traditionally seen as a good source of fibers, but that was before my friend discovered its medicinal use.
Okra Nutrition
The okra treatment my friend discovered uses raw okra. Well, when cooked, okra can give us the following nutrition benefits: Protein, niacin, riboflavin, phosphorus, zinc, copper,potassium, Vitamins A, B6, C, and K, thiamine, magnesium, folate, calcium, and manganese.
In addition, some studies say it is proven to be helpful in normalizing cholesterol and blood sugar levels, healing asthma due to the special Vitamin C in it (which is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory), removing atherosclerosis, and healing some cancers. If you're worried about eye cataracts or acne and pimples, try okra--eat lots of it.
But this still was not Toots' wonder discovery. He read somewhere that raw okra is more powerful than boiled or steamed okra. The secret was to get two fresh and nice looking okra pieces, wash thoroughly, nip both ends, pierce with a fork on two sides, and soak in clean water in a glass overnight.
That's it? That's it.
Well, of course, you drink the water with the okra sap in the morning, and you do that religiously everyday. And that's what Toots did after a month or so. Then he checked his blood sugar and it dramatically stayed on normal levels. Amazing. He's been sharing the good news to friends since.
The Pitfall
Now, be careful not to fall into the trap. Most people who discover wonderful all-natural secrets like this abuse the blessing and make it a license to eat forbidden food. Just because the okra trick does wonders to your blood sugar, doesn't mean you can eat sweets and sugars all you want. All-natural plant or herbal treatments should be accompanied with a proper and disciplined diet.
And you should never tire doing it daily. Some folks, after getting good results, become carefree and eat forbidden food again and often forget about the okra ritual. Thus, the blood sugar acts up again, and they conclude that the remedy isn't quite effective after all. All roads to healing require constancy, patience, and discipline.
What If You're on Medication?
Folks ask, "What if I'm on medication for diabetes? Is the okra sap safe for me?" Well, okra is pure vegetable. It's not a synthetic medicine. Ask your doctor if eating okra is good for you. If it is, then I don't see how its sap can harm you in any way. If you like, ask your doc about the sap, too. My guess is, he's going to give you a silly grin. "A what?"
Overall, it's good to have okra regularly in your diet. I often eat it boiled or steamed. I mix it with other souped viands. I find it specially appetizing when eating fish or chicken.

Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which a person has repeated seizures (convulsions) over time. Seizures are episodes of disturbed brain activity that cause changes in attention or behavior.
See also: Seizures
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Epilepsy occurs when permanent changes in brain tissue cause the brain to be too excitable or jumpy. The brain sends out abnormal signals. This results in repeated, unpredictable seizures. (A single seizure that does not happen again is not epilepsy.)
Epilepsy may be due to a medical condition or injury that affects the brain, or the cause may be unknown (idiopathic).
Common causes of epilepsy include:
Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
Dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease
Traumatic brain injury
Infections, including brain abscess, meningitis, encephalitis, and AIDS
Brain problems that are present at birth (congenital brain defect)
Brain injury that occurs during or near bith
Metabolism disorders that a child may be born with (such as phenylketonuria)
Brain tumor
Abnormal blood vessels in the brain
Other illness that damage or destroy brain tissue
Epilepsy seizures usually begin between ages 5 and 20, but they can happen at any age. There may be a family history of seizures or epilepsy.
Symptoms
Symptoms vary from person to person. Some people may have simple staring spells, while others have violent shaking and loss of alertness. The type of seizure depends on the part of the brain affected and cause of epilepsy.
Most of the time, the seizure is similar to the previous one. Some people with epilepsy have a strange sensation (such as tingling, smelling an odor that isn't actually there, or emotional changes) before each seizure. This is called an aura.
Signs and tests
The doctor will perform a physical exam, which will include a detailed look at the brain and nervous system.
An EEG (electroencephalogram) will be done to check the electrical activity in the brain. People with epilepsy will often have abnormal electrical activity seen on this test. In some cases, the test may show the area in the brain where the seizures start. The brain may appear normal after a seizure or between seizures.
To diagnose epilepsy or plan for epilepsy surgery:
You may need to wear an EEG recorder for days or weeks while you go about your everyday life.
You may need to stay in a special hospital where brain activity can be be watched on video cameras. This is called video EEG.
Tests that may be done include:
Blood chemistry
Blood sugar
CBC (complete blood count)
Kidney function tests
Liver function tests
Lumbar puncture (spinal tap)
Tests for infectious diseases
Head CT or MRI scan often done to find the cause and location of the problem in the brain.
Treatment
Treatment for epilepsy may involve surgery or medication.
If epilepsy seizures are due to a tumor, abnormal blood vessels, or bleeding in the brain, surgery to treat these disorders may make the seizures stop.
Medication to prevent seizures, called anticonvulsants, may reduce the number of future seizures.
These drugs are taken by mouth. Which type you are prescribed depends on the type of seizures you have.
Your dosage may need to be changed from time to time. You may need regular blood tests to check for side effects.
Always take your medication on time and as directed. Missing a dose can cause you to have a seizure. Never not stop taking or change medications without talking to your doctor first.
Many epilepsy medications cause birth defects. Women wishing to become pregnant should tell the doctor in advance in order to adjust medications.
Epilepsy that does not get better after two or three anti-seizure drugs have been tried is called "medically refractory epilepsy."
Surgery to remove the abnormal brain cells causing the seizures may be helpful for some patients.
Surgery to place a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) may be recommended. This device is similiar to a heart pacemaker. It can help reduce the number of seizures.
Sometimes, children are placed on a special diet to help prevent seizures. The most popular one is the ketogenic diet. A diet low in carbohydrates, such as the Atkins diet, may also be helpful in some adults.
Lifestyle or medical changes can increase the risk for a seizure in a person with epilepsy. Talk with your doctor about:
New prescribed medications, vitamins, or supplements
Emotional stress
Illness, especially infection
Lack of sleep
Pregnancy
Skipping doses of epilepsy medications
Use of alcohol or other recreational drugs
Other considerations:
Persons with epilepsy should wear medical alert jewelry so that prompt medical treatment can be obtained if a seizure occurs.
Persons with poorly controlled epilepsy should not drive. Each state has a different law about which people with a history of seizures are allowed to drive.
Also avoid machinery or activities where loss of awareness would cause great danger, such as climbing to high places, biking, and swimming alone.

Millions of people throughout the world do not get enough rest and sleep. In fact, they falsely believe that rest and sleep are a waste of time and energy. This is the opposite of the truth and may be the most ignored cause of dis-ease next to bad nutrition.
This article discusses the great need for sleep, the many benefits of sleep, the harm that occurs when one does not get enough rest and sleep, and finally how to sleep better. Let us examine why each person today needs much more rest and sleep than in past generations.
WHY GET MORE SLEEP?
Most People Are Exhausted. Fatigue is epidemic. Studies by American, British and Australian Traffic Safety Agencies report that 20%-30% of traffic fatalities involve a fatigued driver. If you need coffee, soda pop, chocolate, anger, worry or other stimulants to get going in the morning or keep going, you are not getting enough sleep.
Prolonged fatigue contributes to nutritional imbalances that may not be so easily undone by just sleeping. However, rest and sleep are still important steps as part of a total program including nutritional balancing and sauna therapy to recover from chronic fatigue syndrome and many other conditions with fatigue as one of the symptoms.
All Healing Requires Extra Sleep. During the day, one primarily uses the sympathetic nervous system, associated with spending energy and tearing down the body. This is balanced by the parasympathetic system, associated with rest, nurturing and regeneration of body tissues. This is equally important and takes place when one is resting. One may call it maintenance or repair time.
If you skimp on regenerative activity by not sleeping enough, physical and mental performance suffers, as well as one's work and relationships. Illness develops because there is not enough time to repair damaged tissues in the body. If you have a chronic illness, you definitely need extra rest and sleep.
Cleansing and Rebuilding the Body Require Energy. Elimination of toxins, an issue for everyone, occurs primarily at night while the body rests. The removal process requires energy and one's energy is finite. If you use most or all of your energy running around all day, you will not detoxify well.
Most Emotional Processing Occurs During Sleep. Often, during the day, thought processes are not completed due to interruptions or other distractions. The mind completes these processes during sleep. You may notice that problems that seemed difficult are solvable or even solved after a good night's rest. This can be due to increased energy, but is also due to actual problem-solving that goes on during sleep.
In fact, many types of emotional development and processing of one’s past take place during the sleep state in many people. Thus, not giving yourself enough ‘down time’ is harming yourself in an emotional way as well as a physical one.
SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT AND SLEEP
Resting is not just about physical and emotional processing. An area that is not often discussed is spiritual development. By this I mean a specific progression of development of the subtle human bodies, such as the etheric body or etheric double, as it is sometimes called.
It is called this because it is shaped somewhat like the human body, but a little larger so it looks like a double body to someone who has the ability to see it in the human aura or energy field. It is also called the etheric double because, when developed fully, it is large and consists of two human bodies, one right side up and the other upside down.
This type of development is of the greatest import today to assure a long, healthy physical life and for the development of wisdom and knowledge as well. It is spoken of in some Oriental texts, but not mentioned much in most Western spiritual books that often focus more on religious aspects rather than energetic aspects of what may be called development of the higher human faculties.
This particular development requires a tremendous amount of extra rest and sleep. I cannot overstate this fact. This is the reason that many so-called “spiritually oriented” types of people need extra rest all the time. This is also the reason that many teenagers, especially women, need a lot of rest. They are developing their etheric bodies, although I know this sounds esoteric, and the rest is part of the process. They often need a nap during the day plus 10 hours or more of sleep, at times. At other times, they may not need quite this much, and it can vary during the process.
I encourage all readers to pay attention to this need, not to just try to avoid it with stimulants such as caffeine and sugar, and to find jobs and activities in which they can take time in the afternoon, perhaps, to lay down and rest, even if it is just for 15 minutes or so. State laws in America require a 15-minute break in the morning and again in the afternoon. Although this is hardly enough time, it is a start and anyone in any job should, if possible, take advantage of this rule.
In short, there is no substitute for sleep. Also, sleep is anything but a waste of time. It is an essential part of each person’s daily life that can also be a rich time of not only rejuvenation, but of insights and other healing processes.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DREAMING
Dreaming is another very important activity that only occurs during the sleep state. Dreaming is not a solitary phenomenon, meaning that it can have many different meanings. Even higher animals such as cats and dogs engage in dreaming.
Dreams can represent processing of one’s past or even just daily events. In most people, dreams are often also processing other phenomena such as information from television shows and radio programs that the mind needs to mull over, as it were, and make more sense of. Dreams can also foretell the future, to a degree, as many people know. Dreams can also have to do with people and events far away, as many people also know.
Even unpleasant dreams, nightmares, premonitions and other phenomena may be important, at times, and should not be stopped by not resting or with the use of drugs. Of course, some dreams are due to just overeating or some other physical health condition. However, dreaming is a fascinating subject that could fill an entire article of this size.
If one does not sleep enough, or does not sleep well for some reason, the dreaming process is interrupted or prevented, and this always impacts one’s health and one’s spiritual and mental development. It is another reason why adequate rest and sleep are so critical for everyone, particularly the young, who are often the ones who do not “have the time;” or are “too busy” to stop and rest often.
WHY SOME PEOPLE CAN GET ALONG ON LITTLE SLEEP AND REST
You may envy those who seem to have lots of energy, yet get by on little sleep. Let go of this envy. Those individuals are either:
·
Burning themselves out. Many of them don't know it, or they know it and don't care, or they care but do not know what to do about it.
·
Using stimulants. Their energy is false. One of these days it will catch up with them and they will become ill. Stimulants are not just items such as sugar, caffeine or amphetamines. They include factors such as too much worry, fears, anger and other emotional factors that definitely stimulate the body.
·
Illness or certain biochemical imbalances. Many who do not sleep much are either very toxic with copper and other metals, or have various other physical imbalances such as biounavailable or deficient levels of calcium that prevent them from resting adequately. They have gotten used to this, and can function quite well. However, it is not normal and it is certainly not healthful in the least. They are not really rested when they wake up in the morning. In fact, they are just driven, often by toxins in the body or other imbalances.
·
Energy vampires. This is unfortunately common as well. Many people consciously or unconsciously have learned to steal energy from others by upsetting them in some way. They may talk too loudly, act intimidating or confusing, or they use some other method to draw energy fro other to themselves.
Some energy vampires recognize the trait, even if they don’t know what to do about it. Many others do not even realize what they are doing. Unfortunately, for example, many parents do this to their children, stealing the innocence of the child. This is sadly a reason why many young people unconsciously want to have a child or several children.
If you are feel exhausted around someone, it is important to protect yourself by removing yourself or reducing interaction with such people. Having your energy drained leads to serious illnesses like cancer. This is a challenge for many people. For more about energy vampirism, read Energy Vampirism.
WHEN AND HOW MUCH TO SLEEP
Here are guidelines for the best sleeping experience. The hours before midnight are far more valuable for rejuvenation than those after midnight. Some say they are two or three times more useful for healing the body and mind. The hours after midnight are less conducive because the energy of the earth has shifted and the new day is starting. This brings a crescendo of solar energy that can tend to cause lighter sleep in many people.
When To Go To Sleep. Thus, going to bed early is the first rule of ideal sleep. I recommend going to bed between eight and nine PM every night.
While this may seem early, it is the way primitive mankind slept before there was electricity, and it is one of the reasons that primitive peoples often enjoyed and continue to enjoy superb health. It is also the reason these people are more intuitive and aware, as adequate rest and sleep are essential for these subtle mental faculties.
How Long To Sleep. If one goes to bed early, less sleep time is required. Eight to ten hours of actual sleep is usually enough. However:
1. Many people have a ‘sleep deficit’. That is, they will require much more rest at first, often for several years or more, when they begin to renew their bodies using nutritional balancing, meditation, saunas and other methods recommended at this website. Thus, many people, especially those who are ill, may require 12 hours daily for two or three years. Most of that can come from resting at night, while napping is also excellent to make up for a sleep deficit.
2. This means 8 to 9 hours of actual sleep, not lying in bed falling asleep or lounging in the morning as you wake up. In order to obtain a full 8 or 9 hours of sleep, most people need to set aside another half hour to an hour in bed for this reason.
3. For best health, do not make exceptions to this rule for holidays, weekend parties or anything else. If one must party late at night, then at least sleep in the next day, although going to bed early each night is a key to having excellent energy.
POOR EXCUSES FOR NOT SLEEPING
I hear many excuses why more sleep is impossible. Here are some common ones:
1) I don't have time. If this is really the case, then it is time to restructure your life. Schedule naps, nap with your children after lunch or even after all meals, get help so that you are freed up, take on fewer projects or otherwise restructure.
It may mean you become a more relaxed person and your house is not as clean. Perhaps you will not bake as many cakes or volunteer at church. This needs to be acceptable and understood by family members.
In our Western culture, to simply put your feet up or lie down and rest in the afternoon is difficult for many people. This is particularly true if you identify yourself with what you do, instead of with whom you are. Resting more, you may feel guilty, lazy or unproductive. In fact, whom you are is much more important than what you do.
Although perhaps it is not obvious, you affect others much more by whom you are than by what you do. For example, if you work for peace but are full of anxiety and tension inside, you will radiate the vibration of stress and anxiety, the opposite of peace. If you are good to others, but not good to yourself by resting enough, you radiate the non-respectful vibration, although this can be very subtle.
In fact, many people remain busy and active because they are afraid or uncomfortable resting and relaxing. One may busy oneself with the problems of others, because in a resting state, one is faced with one’s own life, and one’s own concerns. A key to learning to rest more is to be at peace and fully accepting and loving of yourself. Otherwise, resting more may bring up vague feelings of anxiety or even panicky feelings.
In order to slow down, know that these feelings may come up and do not let them get in the way of your rest periods. Also, let go of any guilt or feelings of laziness associated with resting and live within your sleep limits.
2) Sleep is a waste of time. I hope I have explained why this is not so. Plenty of sleep is an absolute necessity.
3) I could sleep for days and sleeping more doesn't make me feel better, so why bother. Most likely your body chemistry is out of balance . Correction might be simple, but usually requires a nutritional balancing program. Ninety percent of city dwellers have exhausted adrenal glands and often sluggish thyroid glands, which makes one very tired. The answer is not to just take hormones or sleeping pills, but to begin correcting body chemistry. However, not sleeping will only make the problem worse. If a sleeping pill is needed for a while, it is okay.
4) I'll miss my favorite television programs, movies, parties, etc. It is possible to leave parties earlier, schedule parties and movies earlier and record late television programs.
5) I can't go to sleep earlier. If I do, I'll be up at 3 AM. This is a common excuse. The section below regarding sleep difficulties may be helpful. Many people are stimulated by toxic substances in the body that prevent them from relaxing thoroughly. Blood sugar imbalances may also prevent one from sleeping through the night, for example.
6) I have loads of energy. Occasionally, this is the case. A few people are healthy enough to get along on less sleep. Most often, however, one is out of touch, stimulated by toxic metals in the body or using stimulants that irritate the nervous system. It only appears one has loads of energy. If this is the case, you will eventually become exhausted. You might as well slow down now, before complete burnout occurs.
7) I just love staying up. Many people are night owls. They enjoy the peaceful feeling at night when activities slow down. It is a pleasure for many sensitive souls. Sometimes creative work is easier to do at night.
However, depriving yourself of sleep is not the answer. You may need to live in a quieter environment so you can experience peace during the day. Otherwise, arrange your schedule so that if you stay up, you can sleep in the morning or nap so you get enough sleep. Ideally, go to bed very early and get up early when the world is still peaceful and quiet to experience the peace you need.
FOUR STAGES OR ASPECTS OF SLEEPING
Sleeping actually involves at least four aspects of human physiology. These are:
1. Rest. The body simply rests. This is extremely important for a number of hours each day. Otherwise, the body literally can wear out sooner. Rest is the time the body begins to regenerate itself.
2. Muscle relaxation. Although this is similar to rest, it is listed separately because it is somewhat different. The muscles require a special type of rest that is somewhat unique. Just putting your feet up on the couch or in bed is excellent to relax most of the musculature of the body, another necessary aspect of rest and sleep.
3. Dreaming and rebuilding the body. This aspect of rest requires that the conscious mind be put aside for a time. Also, the best time for this process is the hours before midnight. The other processes are not time-dependent. The reasons appear to be complex, but the deep rebuilding of the body seems to occur the most in the hours before midnight to 1 AM. This is why going to bed as early as is conveniently possible, and no later than 9 or 9:30 PM is excellent. It is also why if you travel, stay on the local time zone with your sleeping habits. Do not stay up until midnight just because you are accustomed to a different time zone, even for a few days.
4. Processing and learning. This is divided into many aspects that are more esoteric. Most people travel out of the physical body in what is called the finer body. They literally learn study, teach, heal, assist others and may have other experiences during the sleep state.
HANDLING SLEEP DIFFICULTIES
Sleep problems can be related to diet, lifestyle, the sleeping environment, biochemical imbalances, ones temperament and other factors. Here are suggestions for improving your sleep.
1) Reduce your salt intake, if you are eating a lot of salt. Salt, even good quality sea salt such as Himalayan salt or Celtic salt, can be very stimulating. This is why many people love chips, dips and a lot of junk foods such as French fries, pickles, relish, ketchup and more.
2) Eat dinner early. Eating late may leave undigested food in the stomach that interferes with sleep, especially if the food quantity is excessive or you have gas or other symptoms of indigestion.
3) Before bed, try to dissipate harmful or stray electromagnetic energies that we all pick up during the day. Possible ways to do this include:
·
Take a quick shower just before bedtime. Do not take a bath every night, as many people do. This can cause you to absorb too many toxins in the bath water, and it is quite yin, as well, in Chinese medical terminology. A quick shower is best for this purpose.
·
Get in a near infrared sauna for 10-15 minutes. Other saunas are not as good, but might work, too.
·
Go out in the sun for several minutes after using the computer or television. Do this also if you feel uncomfortable after being with a person whom you know is ill or has a ‘difficult’ personality. D) shine a red infrared lamp close to your head area for no more than 10 minutes before bed.
4) Avoid sweets, juices or chocolate, especially at night. Sugar upsets body chemistry and may cause one to toss and turn or to get up hungry in the middle of the night.
5) Avoid stimulants, particularly in the evening. Stimulants just whip your body. They always result in more tiredness eventually. These include coffee, tea, caffeinated soft drinks, chocolate and sugar in any form. More subtle stimulants include anger, hatred, resentment, worry and fearfulness. Remember this next time you listen to the news or watch a violent movie.
6) Reduce mental activity in the evening. If you have trouble sleeping, it is wise to forgo intense intellectual effort at night. Relax, do light reading or other activities that do not overstimulate the mind.
For example, you may need to turn off the computer at 6 PM and will only read or watch programs that are relaxing or engage in social activities after 6 or 7 PM. Also, decide you will not initiate or take phone calls after perhaps 8 or 8:30 PM, since this can easily stimulate a person and keep one awake.
7) Avoid vigorous exercise in the evening. Better to exercise in the morning or during the day. In the evening , limit exercise to perhaps a gentle walk, an excellent way to end the day.
8) Do some spiritual reading before bed each night, rather than watch the nightly news or a movie. This can make quite a difference for some people. It is relaxing, uplifting, and can help one to have a sense of peace and tranquility.
9) Be sure you are warm enough, but not hot. This includes your feet. Wear socks if needed, or heat your feet with a heater. A warm bath or sauna before bed can also be excellent.
10) Make sure your bedroom is dark and quiet. Install black velour fabric behind curtains or use other methods so your sleeping area is very dark, and preferably very quiet as well.
11) Some ventilation and movement of air is often helpful for sleeping. This might mean running a ceiling fan or just cracking a window open a small amount if it is cold outside, for example.
12) Let go of physical tension in the body. Methods that can be used include ten minutes of slow, deep breathing, gentle stretching or yoga in the evening
13) Foot reflexology is superb to relax before bed. This is excellent to calm the nerves and help restore the natural energy flow in the acupuncture meridians of the body.
Rub both entire feet, for at least five to ten minutes each. Be sure to include rubbing all the toes, the top of the foot, the heel and a little ways up the legs. Pay more attention to any area that is tender or painful. Twisting the toes gently is also very good.
A reflexology sleep point. A reflex point on the soft area about the middle of the bottom of the large toe, slightly nearer the inside of the toe next to the second toe, appears to be specific for assisting sleep and rest.
14) A chi machine can be fabulous just before bed. This is a box that sits on the floor and you place your ankles in cradles on top of the box. When activated, the machine gently moves your legs back and forth, relaxing the spine and the entire body. These are not too expensive, as a simple one usually works just fine and cost about $120.00 new.
15) Do your best to let go of fears and worry at bedtime. This may be why spiritual reading is so helpful for some people. A simple affirmation might even be enough, particularly if repeated for a while so it becomes part of your lifestyle. It could be something like "This day is complete. I now release all worries and concerns to the holy spirit or the higher self and I rest peacefully. I release this day."
16) A cool sleeping environment is often better than a hot, stuffy room. If possible, have your sleeping area cooler than room temperature.
17) When traveling, many people sleep better by bringing their own pillow and even their own sheets or sleep pack if you are not sure how clean the sheets will be. Also bring earplugs, which are great all the time if you need them, and an eye covering device to make sure the room is dark enough.
18) Ear plugs. These are often helpful, especially in noisy environments, when traveling, or when sleeping with a partner. The foam rubber type are fine, but not nearly as good as the silicone type. They cost more, but block much more sounds.
Eye covering should not be needed if the room is very dark. If this is not possible, such as when traveling or if a streetlight is nearby, perhaps, then eye covering can be excellent.
19) Separate beds for partners can be a helpful idea, though it sounds horribly unromantic to some. It is better energetically for many people. It also helps assure that a partner’s visits to the bathroom, or just random tossing and turning will not wake you up.
20) Avoid most magnetic mattress pads. Use care with these products. Most help for a while. However, discontinue their use after a few months to a year. Prolonged use usually is not helpful and may be harmful. A lot of 'magnetic deficiency syndrome' is caused by iron and other ferrous metal toxicity in the body.
21) The size and shape of pillows can make a difference. A pillow should not cause undue strain on the neck. Cervical pillows and other types are worth experimenting with.
22) Avoid becoming overtired. When one is overtired, the adrenal glands are overstimulated. One may need to unwind before going to bed in this case. This is one of the most important reasons to go to bed early. If one stays up for some reason, the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal glands will help keep you up by secreting some adrenal and thyroid hormones. This is fine, except that when you wish to go to bed, you cannot sleep well as you are overstimulated.
23) If possible, sleep in, in the morning. This may sound unusual. Here is the explanation. The adrenal glands become active about 5 AM. Many people awaken at this time and want to get going. However, this prevents the adrenals from resting more. It is best to go back to sleep, if possible, or just lie awake and meditate, for example, and get up after 7 AM, when the adrenals are less active. One may feel more tired at first, but it will help rest the adrenals.
24) Turn off electronic appliances, or at least sleep 8-10 feet away from wifi, cell phones, TV sets, computers and all other sources of EMF (electromagnetic fields). If at all possible, turn these devices off and do not keep alarm clocks right next to your head. Battery powered devices are not nearly as much of a problem, however, if you need an alarm clock.
If you are very sensitive to electronic emissions, know that even turning off some electrical equipment is not always enough. Listen carefully as many radios, boom boxes, tape decks and more have transformers that stay on even if the device is off. These will disturb sensitive individuals and are not healthful for anyone during sleep.
Wifi should not be near your bed. Move the router, modem and other components to other parts of the house or apartment.
House wiring. In some cases, sleep will improve radically if you make sure the electric power is off in your bedroom. This is because even the wiring in the wall gives off powerful EMF and RF frequencies. This is more work to install a special switch or circuit breaker, but I know people for whom it has made a lot of difference in their rest.
25) Drink more earlier in the day. Drink water in the morning and not after 6 PM so you are not having to get up many times to urinate at night. This is quite disturbing to your sleep in some cases, especially if you do not fall asleep easily.
26) Natural remedies. Use calcium and magnesium during the day to assist sleep. I always recommend extra calcium and magnesium for everyone, even if sleep is not a problem. However, several clients have reported that taking more calcium and magnesium during the day as well, and not just before bed, helps them sleep better. Most likely, the reason is it keeps the nervous system calmer all day and avoids one becoming as overtired or overstimulated. The amount to take is usually about 500 mg of calcium and about 300 mg of magnesium three times a day with meals. Even more is fine, if needed.
Other natural sleep remedies. Use the remedies discussed below on an as needed basis. One can become dependent on them, which is not optimal. Sleep remedies are most often excellent while on trips or in situations when you are under stress that interferes with your rest and sleep. They should not be needed as your body heals on a nutritional balancing program.
Note that the best time to take sleep remedies is while you are quiet and preparing for bed at an early hour. They may be less helpful when one is anxious and tense, or at a late hour when the sympathetic nervous system has kicked in to give you extra energy because you did not rest when you should have.
Remedies are just that. They are not a substitute for correcting situations that interfere with your healthful early-to-bed, daily sleeping habits.
Natural Sleep Remedies That I Most Recommend. These include a cup of strong, freshly brewed chamomile tea, valerian root, herbal combinations, Sleepytime teas and homeopathic remedies that are available at health food stores.
These are excellent because they do not interfere with body chemistry to any significant degree. For this reason, they can be used at any time and for longer periods of time. herbal formulas.
Milk near bedtime. An old sleep remedy is a small cup of warm milk. Milk is high in tryptophan, calcium and has some magnesium. This works well for many people and does not harm the body, as can the sleep-inducing drugs.
Somewhat Less Recommended Sleep Remedies. Copper toxicity is a very common cause for sleep difficulties. Symptoms also include headaches, acne, rashes, premenstrual tension in young women and emotional ups and downs.
If you suspect copper toxicity, which is discussed in another article, you may try a symptomatic approach, taking up to 30 mg of zinc, up to 200 mg of vitamin B6 with the evening meal or possibly before bed, and more in the middle of the night if needed.
Note that to get rid of copper toxicity also requires a complete nutrition program to strengthen the adrenal glands and address other possible causes of copper toxicity.
Avoid Chinese patent herbal remedies such as An Shui Wan and Worry Free, Sleep Easy (Shui de An). Chinese herbs can contain toxic metals, even the best brands, in my experience.
I recommend melatonin only for a short period of time, as it is a hormone that may have other unpredictable effects.
27) Hydrotherapy. An older method I have used is to stand in the back of a shower and allow cold water to run just on the legs and feet. The water must be quite cold. Take a warm shower first to warm up, if needed, or wear a night shirt to keep warm. This procedure draws the blood down from the head to the feet very effectively.
To make it even more powerful, do not dry your legs. Get into bed with them wet, as it will keep working once you are in bed.
28) Empty the bladder and bowels. This may be obvious, but having a full bladder or being constipated will also interfere with sleep.
29) Listen to a boring lecture or other boring CD or tape. This can be surprisingly good, and much better than listening to music or watching a movie, at times.

TOP FAT BURNING JUICES
Asparagus
Asparagus contains the chemical asparagine. This is an alkaloid that stimulates the kidneys and improves the circulatory process. These alkaloids directly affect the cells and break down fat. It also contains a chemical that helps to remove waste from the body by breaking up the oxalic acid; this acid tends to glue fat to cells, and so by breaking the acid up, it helps to reduce fat levels.
Beets
Beets are a strong diuretic that focuses on the liver and kidneys. Beets flush out floating body fats. They have a special iron that cleanses the corpuscles. Corpuscles are blood cells that can contain fat deposits.
It also contains a chlorine that also helps to flush out fatty deposits. This chlorine stimulates the lymph which will clear out the fat deposits.
Brussel Spouts
This vegetable stimulates the glands, the pancreas especially, which releases hormones that have a cleansing effect on the cells. There are also minerals that stimulate the kidneys. Waste is released quicker and it helps to clean out the cells.
Cabbage
This cleanses your body of waste matter because it contains sulphur and iodine, which helps to cleanse the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines. Cabbage is a great food if you should have a pot belly or a middle age spread. The diuretic cabbage will help to break up the fat in this area.
Carrots
Carrots contain carotene, a form of Vitamin A. This carotene will start a fat flushing reaction in your system. This reaction will literally wash out fat and waste quickly. The carotene will be transformed into vitamin A in the intestines and this process will create a speed up in your metabolism and cause a reaction in your cells to remove fat deposits.
Celery
Raw celery has a high concentration of Calcium in a ready to use form, so when you eat it, the calcium is sent directly to work. This pure form of Calcium will ignite your endocrine system. The hormones in your body will break up the accumulated fat build up. Celery also has a high level of magnesium and iron which will clean out your system.
Cucumber
Cucumber contains a high sulphur and silcon content. These minerals work to stimulate the kidneys to wash out uric acid, which is a waste product. With this uric acid being washed out, it stimulates the removal of fat, and loosens the fat from the cells.
Garlic
Garlic is a natural diuretic. Garlic has mustard oils and these oils create a cleansing action in the body. They promote a vigorous action of peristalsis, which is muscular contractions, and this will loosen fat and help wash out fats. They can also breakdown clumps of fat. So eat garlic and thin down.
Horseradish
We've all seen horseradish, few venture to use it, but it has an amazing effect of dissolving fat in cells (no side effects) and also as a cleansing effect on the body.
Lettuce
Lettuce contains iron and magnesium. These minerals will enter your spleen, your spleen helps your immunity and protects the body from illness. The spleen will use these minerals to make them stronger, and send them to the cells and tissues. It will also help the liver, increase your metabolism, and wash out fatty cells. The darker lettuces have more of the minerals. So add Lettuce to your diet NOW!
Onions
Onions, similar to garlic, have minerals and oils that will help to breakdown fat deposits and speed up your metabolism. Have raw onions every day, it has more power than garlic and with the milder smell, it will make an excellent addition to your diet.
Radishes
Radishes scrub the mucous membrane of the body because it contains high levels of Iron and Magnesium. These minerals actually help to dissolve fat in the cells.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes have high Vitamin C and Citricmalic-oxalic acids. The acid will accelerate the metabolic process. It also helps the kidneys to release more water and helps to wash away fat.
The natural acids with the enzyme activated minerals prompt the kidneys to filter out large quantities of fatty deposits and then you eliminate them from your system. So add tomatoes to your daily diet and your metabolism will thank you for it.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Use this diuretic in small quantities. You can add it to your salad as a dressing. What makes this such a powerful diuretic is this: It is made from apples and the malic acid in apples will create a fat burning process. Another factor with this vinegar is the fermentation process causes the vinegar to have constructive acids that join with alkaline elements and minerals in the body. This produces a cell scrubbing effect. It also contains high levels of potassium, which has an antiseptic quality that helps to eliminate fat deposits.

2012-10-28 12:29:00When I first made the decision to become vegan, my family was aghast.
“What do you mean we’re going vegan?” my husband retorted. “Do you always have to be so extreme? Can’t we just start out by eating less meat?”
“Hmm…” I thought about it for a moment. I did have a tendency to go to extremes sometimes. Was this one of those occasions?
“No, I don’t think so.”
My kids were very wary of the whole idea, but they were considerably more open to the prospect of eating delicious vegan food - which I had inadvertently promised in my effort to make the idea more appealing:
“Everything will be yummy?” asked my daughter, then 6 years old, her brown eyes sparkling.
“Yes,” I said, kicking myself. What was I promising exactly? My cooking was barely edible as it was, never mind with the extra challenge of cooking without eggs, fish, milk, or meat!
“Okay mama,” she chimed, her decision made, her lips parted in a smile.
“Really?” I asked, slightly bewildered.
“Don’t worry, mama. It’ll be okay.”
“It will?”
“Yup. Anyway,” my daughter shrugged nonchalantly, “Sausages aren’t made out of meat. We can still eat sausages, right?”
“Hmm…” I kicked myself again. I’d forgotten about the sausages. At an early age, my daughter had developed a vague idea about the cruelty of factory farming. It had not occurred to me that she had not yet made the connection between factory farming and her favorite foods – which, at the time, included sausages.
“No, honey, I don’t think so.”
Needless to say, I took the challenge to heart when I saw my children’s crestfallen expressions as I explained to them that we would have to do without cheese and eggs and sausages, until I could figure out my way around more compassionate, vegan substitutes. Of course, my entire family was very supportive. No one wanted to have anything to do with the senseless torture and slaughter of factory farmed animals. Despite his love for steaks, roast beef, and chicken, my husband was the first to express his desire – no matter how ambivalent at first – to transition to a more peaceful, compassionate way of life.
For an entire year, I threw myself wholeheartedly into the task of preparing fresh, delicious, generally wholesome vegan meals. I knew that if we were going to become vegan and give up all animal products, including dairy, eggs, fish, seafood and a plethora of animal-derived substances, we would have to do it together as a family. What better way to convince them of the wondrous nature of the vegan lifestyle than to ply them with delicious animal-free dishes?
Of course, in the beginning, it was quite a bit more complicated than I had planned. To be perfectly honest, I had absolutely no idea about what I was doing. Although I had prepared tofu for my family in the past, I had never tasted seitan or tempeh, and I had never eaten beans that hadn’t come directly out of a can. Let’s just say that in the beginning, my husband and I spent A LOT OF TIME shopping. We visited health stores, specialty shops, farmers’ markets, and Middle Eastern and Asian grocers. We checked the ingredients of every single item (I kid you not!) displayed in the organic section of our local supermarket. And we spent A LOT OF MONEY on every conceivable package of processed vegan food we could find.
At that time, I had no idea that it was even POSSIBLE to bake without eggs and dairy products. Just imagine my ignorance! In the neighborhood in which we lived, there was no such thing as a vegan confectionary shop or a dairy-free bakery. In fact, at that time, I had never even tasted a cookie or a piece of cake that had been made without animal ingredients. So, as I stumbled along like a bumbling fool around the aisles of the natural health foods store, I grabbed every sweet vegan confection I could find – not that there were very many at the time – gluten-free coconut macaroons, organic vanilla creams, spicy ginger snaps, and chocolate cookies imported from Europe. I threw whatever I could find into my enormous stainless steel trolley now overflowing with processed vegan junk in a valiant attempt to alleviate my growing sense of motherly guilt: “What am I doing? What kind of mother doesn’t let her kids have a cookie every now and again?”
Thankfully, I had made the connection between a vegan lifestyle and the importance of incorporating more fresh fruits and vegetables into our diet. As we made our way through organic supermarkets and farmers’ stands, I became suddenly aware of a bountiful selection of vegetables that I had never really prepared before – with wonderfully exotic names like arugula, Swiss chard, parsnips, kale, collard, rapini, daikon, fennel, endive, celeriac, leeks, kohlrabi, and beets. Well, this was a truly joyful moment for me! I felt healthy and beautiful and glowing as I piled all of these lovely, fragrant vegetables into my basket, feeling as if I had torn these vegetables from the earth myself with my bare hands, basking in the warm glow of the afternoon sun.
When I got home, I excitedly shuffled through all of my wonderful purchases, carefully re-organizing my pantry and my refrigerator to accommodate the influx of new ingredients. With a sudden outburst of energy, I began chopping and slicing immediately. My family was waiting for a delicious, hot vegan meal, and I was determined not to fail. I don’t remember what our first vegan dinner consisted of, but I am sure that my table – as it would be for the next 6 months – was literally overflowing with food. In my attempt to make up for all of the things that I thought we were “giving up” to embrace our new vegan lifestyle, I found myself overcompensating in every possible way. At every meal, including breakfast, I would carefully prepare a ridiculous assortment of vegetable casseroles, tofu spreads, bean stews and chilis, Asian noodle dishes, fresh fruit salads, veggie pâtés, flatbreads, and pastas. I would also include a lavish display of store-bought cakes, cookies, and vegan cheeses and sausages. At mealtime, my table was laid out with such a gargantuan amount of food that my husband – and any guest who might have shared our meal at the time – would express their anxiety over their ability to eat it all !
I know. I know. I was being ridiculous, but I was so concerned that my husband and children would revolt at the prospect of giving up animal products that I refused to budge even an inch. My madness continued. On one specific occasion, I remember that I had piled so much food on the table that there was literally no place for anyone to sit ! I think our friends and family were afraid that we would ask them to stay for dinner because I would always serve up such an outlandish amount of food ! And, don’t even get me started on dinner parties. I think I spent more time in the kitchen and more money on food in that one year alone than I have altogether in the eight or nine years since. Yes, I’m exaggerating – but only to illustrate the extent of my folly.
It took me an entire year to rehabilitate myself from “overcompensating vegan mom” to “normal vegan mom.” As the days went by, and as my cooking skills improved, I became more and more confident about my family’s willingness to embrace a vegan diet. As I learned to bake – badly – my children were quick to take over the task of churning out vegan coconut cakes, sugar cookies, butter tarts, chocolate brownies, lemon cupcakes, and blueberry pies.
Although each member of the family still longed for something “special” from the past – Szechuan shrimp, fried eggs on toast, chicken pot pie, fluffy whipped cream – it would only be a matter of time before we found something that could take its place to satisfy that stubborn childhood craving. We found a restaurant that prepared battered, pan fried, vegan shrimp and another that had developed a brilliant recipe for vegan Eggs Benedict. While we were travelling, we discovered a tiny hole in the wall that served up lovely cups of hot chocolate topped with mounds of cold coconut whipped cream. And within a few years, we had become proficient enough in our own kitchen to create all kinds of dishes, including all of the above, as well as the prized vegan pot pie.
To everyone out there who is transitioning to a vegan diet, here is a little piece of advice: Relax. Take a deep breath. There is no need to rush maniacally around the city – like I did – in a desperate attempt to prove to yourself and to everyone you know that the choices you have made for yourself and for your family are sound. It took only a month for my family to embrace our new vegan way of life, and contrary to what I had initially thought, there was little in-fighting that took place among us as we sat down to family meals. In fact, there was absolutely none.
Children, after all, have an incredibly intuitive understanding of what is right and what is wrong. They know that the cruelty inflicted upon animals is avoidable and unnecessary. Although they may have initially missed their sausages and their cupcakes, my children – to this day - are the ones who constantly remind me of the importance of the decision we made – together as a family – to adopt a vegan lifestyle so many years ago.
Thanks to their unwavering commitment and thanks to the loving and unconditional support provided by my husband as he put up with my obsessive and painfully unsuccessful attempts to transform myself into the Martha Stewart of vegan cooking, we have embarked on a peaceful, more compassionate journey through life, one which has led us through countless shared culinary adventures.
