Heaven Gate Mountain. Zhangjiajie City, China.

2012-09-18T09:57:00.000-07:00

Welcome To Zhangjiajie City, China. About 8KM from downtown of Zhangjiajie lies the Tianmen Mountain, also known as Heaven Gate Mountain. By looking at the picture above, theres no need to understand why this is named Heaven’s Gate. This beautiful site is quite a journey to get to. It’s about a 7 mile hike/climb to get to Heaven’s Gate. But if you make the journey, then you end up to what the Chinese say is the Closest Earth Landmark To God. 7 Miles sound too long for you? Well for those of you who aren’t afraid of heights, they have a cable car that is considered the longest cable ride in the world! A distance of 7455m and as heights as high as 1279m… DAMN! But as soon as you get to the top you still have to climb up the steps to get to “Heaven’s Gate.” Also on the top is a 500 year old Temple for those who are looking for spiritual guidance or just a prayer. This is definitely an experience you talk about your entire life! Something that I hope to experience one day! China anyone?

'Guava peel can raise blood sugar'

2012-09-17T20:05:00.000-07:00

NEW DELHI: This winter, enjoy your guava without its skin, specially those suffering from diabetes.

Guava, considered a super fruit till now for its richness in Vitamin A, B and C, has been found to be bad for blood sugar if consumed along with its skin. Scientists from Allahabad, home to India's sweetest guavas, have found that blood sugar levels in rats injected with guava peel extract rose by 91% in sub-diabetic rats within two hours of administration and by 27% in normal rats after eight hours of administration.

The team of P K Rai, S K Singh, A N Kesari and Geeta Watal from the Medicinal Research Laboratory of the University of Allahabad reported this finding in the 'Indian Journal of Medical Research'.

Anoop Misra, director of the department of diabetes and metabolic diseases of Fortis Hospitals, told TOI, "This is a very interesting finding. Till now, we usually recommended fruits like guava, apple, pear and papaya to diabetics because we believed it had a neutral effect on blood sugar and, in some cases, lowered blood sugar levels."

He added, "However, this study confirms that the skin of the guava, high on simple sugars like glucose, increases blood sugar level immediately. So, the best way to consume a guava for diabetics is to peel off its skin."

The study says: "Though the guava is known to contain free sugars, the fruit extract showed hypoglycaemic effect in mice. The present study was aimed to determine the glycaemic potential of guava fruit peel extract on blood-glucose level (BGL) of normal and sub-diabetic rats during fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glucose tolerance test (GTT).

Blood glucose was measured after collecting the blood from tail veins. The rats showed hyperglycaemic effect from a single oral administration of variable doses of guava fruit peel extract."

Guavas are also an excellent source of iron, calcium and phosphorus. They also contain the highest Vitamin C content, beating out all citrus fruits, with as much as 180mg per 100g of fruit.

A guava leaf decoction is taken to relieve colds and bronchitis. The roots, bark, leaves and immature fruits, because of their astringency, are commonly used to halt gastroenteritis, diarrhoea, dysentery and vomiting in cholera patients.

For the study, semi-ripe guavas were collected from Allahabad and peeled by Satya Narayan, taxonomist, department of botany. The peel of the fruit was crushed and continuously extracted for 48 hours. The extract was filtered and injected into rats.

Glass Beach (Fort Bragg, California)

2012-09-16T00:39:00.000-07:00

This is “Glass Beach” in Fort Bragg, California. The beach resides at the end of the cliff, and although, today it is part of a state park, that was not always the case.

In 1949, the site was a unregulated dumping ground, where people threw glass, appliances and even the odd car. This went on for 18 years until 1967 when the North Coast Water Quality Board and city leaders closed the area and removed some of the larger articles dumped there.

Over the course of a decade or two, the sea worked its magic by cleaning the beach and by sculpting the remaining glass into smooth, coloured trinkets which we can see today.

It is amazing to see and a true testimony to both the wastefulness of humans and the resilience of nature.

Baby turtle planking

2012-09-16T00:12:00.000-07:00

These aquatic creatures can range from 5 to 12 inches in size and are encompassed by an oval carapace or hard shell. Young hatchlings have a green carapace and skin with markings and stripes dependent upon their species. With age the carapace and skin become less distinct because of the increase in black pigment.

In nature, sliders usually live in swampy areas where there is a lot of mud and vegetation, such as shallow ponds and lakesides In addition to swimming and digging in rocks and mud, sliders love the warmth of the sun, and can lazily lay there for hours, before returning to the water for a swim. Sliders are also omnivorous, although they tend to eat less meat as they grow older..
