Steps to be followed to stay healthy without Exercise

2013-09-27T16:48:00.001+04:00

Remember the best way to stay healthy is with healthy food and regular exercise only. But, sometimes due to health reason itself, we may not be able to do exercises I am one of those. This is for those people like me.....

1. Schedule three meals a day into your routine. It's important to be nourished adequately throughout the day to prevent fatigue and to perform at an optimal level.

2. Eat a healthy breakfast. Include grains and fruits. Try a high-fibre cereal with low fat milk and sliced bananas.

3. Eating small frequent meals can be less taxing on your digestive system.

4. Snack between meals to curb your appetite and provide a little energy. Try a piece of fruit or a few crackers with peanut butter.

5. Do not let yourself become so hungry as to overeat at mealtime. Overeating burdens your digestive system.

6. Drinking water or having a small bowl of soup before meals may keep you from overeating at your meal

7. Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to aid in your digestion. Take time to savor your food.

8. Obtain protein from a less complicated source, such as nuts, legumes, grains andsprouts

9. Choose low fat dairy products, lean white meats or wild fish if animal products are desired.

10. Combine vegetables and grains with a small amount of protein for a synergistic effect.

11. Choose a variety of whole grain products to include millet, barley and buckwheat.

12. Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables that are deep in color, such as the dark orange of a carrot or the deep green of spinach. They contain more nutrients.

13. Choose organic products to eliminate chemical exposure. Chemicals are harmful to overall health.

14. Avoid processed food as it contains ingredients that have been changed from their natural state. These unnatural foods are difficult for your body to assimilate

15. Choose sea salt as it is equivalent in nature to the salt within your body. It is very cleansing. Refined salt causes fluid retention and increased blood pressure.

16. Eliminate sugars or choose an unrefined sugar, such as turbinado or honey.

17. Drink plenty of clean water to aid in flushing toxins and the waste products of natural cell metabolism

18. Gradually wean from large portions to achieve a healthy weight

19. Eat less in the evening if you are no longer exercising throughout the remainder of the day.

20. Use moderation when developing new eating habits. The important thing is to develop a plan that you'll find easy to accomplish and easy to maintain.

21. Keep a positive attitude focusing on long term results.

22. Eat at least one nutritious meal per day with your family to encourage their good eating habits.

Malayalam Movie review: Mr. Marumakan

2012-08-31T16:06:00.001+04:00

Release Date: August 18, 2012

Lead Actor: Biju Menon, Dileep, Sanusha

Review By Nowrunning.com

Mr Marumakan will bring lots of laughter and able to create a festival mood. However the story has nothing new to offer. There is plenty of room for Dileep fans to celebrate, and the actor will not disappoint with his spectacular acting and comic numbers. Rating 66%.

Review By Times Of India

There are two reasons why Mr.Marumakan has to be tolerated. First to marvel at how Dileep as an actor puts himself through what has become a routine task of undoing the same complex knots again and again as different characters, without ever showing a jaded nerve. Second to envy a script ridden with stale comic strips and yet claiming itself to be a hilarious rom-com. Mr. Marumakan is a dampener except for the breezy portrayal of his character by Dileep. The plot is stuffed with songs that appear for no apparent reason Rating 2.5/5.

Review by Indiaglitz

'Mr Marumakan' is overly loaded with typical masala, that may appeal to the fans of 'Janapriya Nayakan'. For Families too, the movie may appeal in parts. But it remains to be seen, how much time Dileep will be able to gain approval repeating his trademarks, before trying to reinvent the actor in him with inspiring, experimental projects.

Review by 2dmovie.com

Dileep & Co. seems to have been too carried away by the response that they got for the loud Mayamohini. The characters are all yelling out their dialogues, over acting and the film ends up as too clichéd n boring. The inspirations include almost every Tamil film from Padayappa to Mappillai. Rating 1/5.

Review by Cinespot.net

One thing is sure that you will not be that much disappointed when back from theaters.The first half of the movie is comparatively good than the lagging second half. It’s a onetime watch movie. Rating 2.5/5.

Review by Metromatinee.com

‘Mr.Marumakan’ is a crowd pleaser that knows exactly who its audience is. For fans of Dileep, this old fashioned entertainer is a treat and delivers enough entertainment for your buck. Rating: Time Pass Entertainer.

Here we go with the Summarized review for the movie Run baby run.........

Review by Theaterbalcony.com

All and all, Run Babby Run lives up to the expectations, the good comic, performances,

and direction will surly keep us engaged. Movie Rating 78%

Review by Sify.com

Run Baby Run may be far from perfect but it is a thriller that keeps you glued on to the

screens. The film has a shaky second half and a rather abrupt ending, but all these doesn’t

take away the excitement that the film provides. Go for this one, you are sure to have a

nice time at the theatres. Rating Very Good.

Review by Metromatinee.com

Run Baby Run is entertaining and watchable as long as you keep your expectations low.Run

Baby Run Entertain but in parts.

Review by Nowrunning.com

RBR isn't exactly a nerve wrecking dash to the final point! It suffers from a plot that

recycles bits and pieces from former thrillers, throwing them this time against a media

backdrop.Ratheesh Vegha and his musical score is the best thing about 'Run Baby Run',

while R D Rajasekhar maintains a relatively low profile with his matter-of-fact frames.

'Run Baby Run' isn't exactly a nerve-wrecking dash to a final point. It does sprint into

action, but then decides to saunter for a while, before scurrying again.Rating 2/5.

Review by Rediff

Run Baby Run is a comic caper with a thriller backdrop and is watchable for its cast.

Rating 2.5/5.

Review by mohanlalfansassociation.com

Mohanlal is good; he does full justice to his role. Amala Paul plays her part convincingly.

Biju Menon, Saikumar, Siddique and all others fit into their respective roles perfectly

well.Ratheesh Vega has provided perfect background score, as suits the theme and the

tempo of the film. The lone song, rendered by Mohanlal is just so so and may not appeal

even to die-hard fans. Verdict- Predictable but watchable thriller, typical Joshiy film.

Malayalam Movie Review : Thappana Summarized

2012-08-30T17:19:00.001+04:00

I am not going to review this movie...but you will get the overall rating of this movie without revealing its story.

These are the Opinions from different movie review experts.

Rediff Review by Paresh C pallicha says

Thappana does not go overboard nor is it overly dependent on the star.It is one time watchable movie.Mammootty shoulders the responsibility of carrying this character-driven film on his shoulders and he does it subtly, without going overboard. Thappana has the flavour of a typical star film like Rajamanikyam or Mayavi, but it does not go overboard nor is it overly dependent on the star. The rating for the movie is 2.5/5.

Nowrunning.com review by Veeyen

There is plenty of stuff going on, no doubt in 'Thaappaana', but none that would make you

feel that a royal elephant is on the rampage out there.Johny Antony's 'Thaappaana' is more

of an assemblage of parts and pieces that we have seen in other movies. The film mashes

them together and neatly lays out the assortment before us, which appears quite messy.

The rating for the movie is 2/5.

Oneindia.com review by Smitha

Thappana is Mammootty's comeback....It's an average film, and a must watch for all Mammootty fans!Though Thappana does not boast of an unusual script, director Johnny Antony has added just the right dose of comedy, tears and action to make it a mass entertainer. Mamootty as usual does not disappoint you down one bit! The rating for the movie is 3/5.

Times of India movie review

Director Johny Antony does play to the multitude at times but his grip on the narrative never loosens and notches up a film that may not be remarkable but surely worth watching. The Rating for the movie is 3/5.

Review by Metromatinee.com

Its an extremely simple movie with its raw humor and earthy wise cracks. Its a fairly nice option, if you don't think too much. Movie Rating WATCHABLE.

Review by Ibnlive.in

It has been after almost a dozen for Mammootty films in the last eighteen months, that one movie is coming out with a softer, likable Mammootty in its narratives. The new flick from Johny Antony, 'Thappana' qualifies as a reasonably good entertainer, provided, you keep your deep sense of logic back at home.On the whole, 'Thaappana' is not an unique work, but offers an ordinary watch that may please you for this festival season. If marketed well, 'Thappana' may also end the recent flop show of the Superstar.Movie Rating 6.5/10.

Review by Theaterbalcony.com

A pretty straight forward cute story, which is boosted with great performances of the lead and a good direction. However film could have been better if the second half of the film was more crisp.Movie rating 72%.

Hope this is enough to make a decision. Have a nice time.

“We will be able to take certain measures, which will be announced on Monday, which will improve the market condition.”

Mukherjee said the government had discussed the economic situation with the central bank governor on Friday.

He said at a time when the global economy is in turmoil, then no country can expect that there will be pocket of development and particularly in a large economy like India.

The rupee has been one of the hardest-hit currencies in Asia, reflecting investor concerns about India's economy, which is being buffeted by high inflation and slow growth.

The economy grew just 5.3 percent in January to March, its slowest quarterly expansion in nine years

Heat some oil and apply it on the scalp and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes. You can wrap your head with a plastic cover or warm towel. This will strengthen your hair and keep it silky. Do not apply oil while it is burning hot.

You can use one teaspoon of soy bean oil and two teaspoons of castor oil. You can also combine half a cup of dried rosemary leaves and half a cup of olive oil and heat it over a low flame. Strain and apply on your scalp and hair. Leave on for 30 minutes and wash off with a shampoo and cover with a towel and dry. You can also use coconut oil. Oil treatment is most effective as it conditions your hair and helps it stay hydrated.

Tip 4. Remember to part your hair into a few sections to make blow drying more effective. You may use electrical appliances to straighten hair as they are less harmful than chemicals. However, even these can be damaging if used often. So go the natural way to look great with straight shiny hair.

Rupee down as RBI keeps rates intact

2012-06-18T18:38:00.001+04:00

June 19th 2012

India’s rupee weakened, erasing earlier gains, after the central bank unexpectedly kept borrowing costs unchanged at a policy review on Monday, citing inflation risks.

The benchmark repurchase rate will stay at 8 per cent, the Reserve Bank of India said in a statement in Mumbai on Monday. Only four of 25 economists in a Bloomberg News survey predicted the outcome, with 19 expecting a 0.25 percentage-point cut and the remainder a half-point reduction.

The currency had advanced to a one-week high earlier as projections showed pro-bailout parties won enough seats to control Greece’s parliament, reviving investor interest in riskier assets.

“It’s a delicate balancing act, as growth momentum is poor and policy remains too restrictive in our view, particularly given the weaker international back drop,” Jonathan Cavenagh, a currency strategist in Singapore at Westpac Banking Corp, wrote in an emailed response. “Near-term risks are that the rupee will underperform broader risk-on move throughout the region.”

The rupee declined 0.2 per cent to 55.6050 per dollar as of 11.45am in Mumbai, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It touched 55.2700 earlier, the strongest level since June 11. One-month implied volatility, a measure of exchange-rate swings used to price options, fell 25 basis points, or 0.25 percentage point, to 11.7 per cent.

Inflation

“While growth in 2011-2012 has moderated significantly, headline inflation remains above levels consistent with sustainable growth,” the monetary authority said on Monday. The decision contrasts with rate cuts in Brazil and China in the past three weeks as the impact of Europe’s turmoil fans through Asia and dominates the agenda of a Group of 20 summit starting in Mexico on Monday.

Greece’s New Democracy and Pasok parties won enough seats to form a majority in the 300-member parliament, according to an official projection, easing concern the nation would reject austerity measures needed to qualify for international aid.

Three-month onshore currency forwards traded at 56.54 per dollar, compared with 56.61 on June 15, and offshore non- deliverable contracts were at 56.60 from 56.72. Forwards are agreements to buy or sell assets at a set price and date. Non- deliverable contracts are settled in dollars.

How to Stop Snoring

2012-06-14T21:01:00.003+04:00

CURES, REMEDIES, AND TIPS to reduce snoring

Snoring can lead to poor sleep and daytime fatigue, irritability, and increased health problems. If your snoring keeps your partner awake, it can also create major relationship problems. Thankfully, sleeping in separate bedrooms isn’t the only remedy for snoring. There are many other effective solutions available.

On the same day, one person can sneeze from allergies while another person sneezes from a bad cold. Snoring is like that. In other words, not all snoring is the same. Everyone snores for different reasons. When you get to the bottom of why you snore, then you can find the right solutions to a quieter, deeper sleep.

People who snore often have too much throat and nasal tissue, or “floppy” tissue that is more prone to vibrate. The position of your tongue can also get in the way of smooth breathing. Evaluating how and when you snore will help you pinpoint whether the cause of your snoring is within your control or not. The good news is that no matter how and when you snore, there are solutions to making your snoring better.

Where does the snoring sound come from?

Snoring happens when you can't move air freely through your nose and mouth during sleep. It’s caused by a narrowing of your airway, either from poor sleep posture or abnormalities of the soft tissues in your throat. A narrow airway gets in the way of smooth breathing and creates the sound of snoring.

Common causes of snoring

Age. As you reach middle age and beyond, your throat becomes narrower, and the muscle tone in your throat decreases.
The way you’re built. Men have narrower air passages than women and are more likely to snore. A narrow throat, a cleft palate, enlarged adenoids, and other physical attributes that contribute to snoring are often hereditary.
Nasal and sinus problems. Blocked airways make inhalation difficult and create a vacuum in the throat, leading to snoring.
Being overweight or out of shape. Fatty tissue and poor muscle tone contribute to snoring.
Alcohol, smoking, and medications. Alcohol intake, smoking, and certain medications can increase muscle relaxation leading to more snoring.
Sleep posture. Sleeping flat on your back causes the flesh of your throat to relax and block the airway.

Finding the right snoring cures, solutions, and remedies

There are so many bizarre anti-snoring devices available on the market, with more being added all the time, that finding the right solution for your snoring can seem like a daunting task. Unfortunately, many of these unusual devices are unproven or work by simply keeping you awake at night. There are, however, plenty of proven techniques that can help you to stop snoring. Not every remedy is right for every person, though, so it may require some patience, some lifestyle changes, and a willingness to experiment with different solutions to finally put a stop to your snoring.

The first step to solving a snoring problem is to find the cause of your snoring. Enlist your non-snoring sleep partner to help you keep a sleep diary to monitor your snoring. Observing patterns in your snoring can often help pinpoint the reasons why you snore, what makes it worse, and how to go about stopping your snoring.

How you snore reveals why you snore

It’s crucial to note to the different ways you sleep and snore. Sleep positions reveal a lot, and figuring out how you snore can reveal why you snore. When you know why you snore, you can get closer to a cure.

Closed-mouth snoring may indicate a problem with your tongue.
Open-mouth snoring may be related to the tissues in your throat.
Snoring when sleeping on your back is probably mild snoring – improved sleep habits and lifestyle changes may be effective cures.
Snoring in all sleep positions can mean your snoring is more severe and may require a more comprehensive treatment.

Self-help cures to stop snoring

There are many things you can do on your own to help stop snoring. Home remedies and lifestyle changes can go a long way in resolving the problem.

Lifestyle changes to stop snoring

Lose weight. Losing even a little bit of weight can reduce fatty tissue in the back of the throat and decrease or even stop snoring.
Exercise can also help to stop snoring. Working out to tone your arms, legs, and abs, for example, also leads to toning the muscles in your throat, which in turn can lead to less snoring.
Quit smoking. If you smoke, your chances of snoring are high. Smoking causes airways to be blocked by irritating the membranes in the nose and throat.
Avoid alcohol, sleeping pills, and sedatives, especially before bedtime, because they relax the muscles in the throat and interfere with breathing. Talk to your doctor about any prescription medications you’re taking, as some encourage a deeper level of sleep which can make snoring worse.
Establish regular sleep patterns. Create a bedtime ritual with your partner and stick to it. Hitting the sack in a routine way together can help you sleep better and often minimize snoring.

Bedtime remedies to help you stop snoring

Clear nasal passages. Having a stuffy nose makes inhalation difficult and creates a vacuum in your throat, which in turn leads to snoring. You can do it naturally with a neti pot or try nasal decongestants or nasal strips to help you breathe more easily while sleeping.
Keep bedroom air moist with a humidifier. Dry air can irritate membranes in the nose and throat.
Reposition. Elevating your head four inches may ease breathing and encourage your tongue and jaw to move forward. There are specially designed pillows available to help prevent snoring by making sure your neck muscles are not crimped.
Avoid caffeine and heavy meals within two hours of going to bed, especially dairy products and soymilk.
Sleep on your side. Avoid sleeping on your back, as gravity makes it more likely for your tongue and soft tissues to drop and obstruct your airway.

Throat exercises to stop snoring

Practiced for 30 minutes a day, throat exercises can be an effective way to reduce or stop snoring. Repeatedly pronouncing certain vowel sounds and curling the tongue in specific ways can strengthen muscles in the upper respiratory tract and thereby reduce snoring.

Try the following exercises to stop snoring. Start slow and gradually increase the number of sets you do. In some cases, you may be able to combine the exercises with other activities, such as commuting to work, walking your dog, working out, or taking a shower.

Repeat each vowel (a-e-i-o-u) out loud for three minutes a few times a day.
Place the tip of your tongue behind your top front teeth. Slide your tongue backwards for 3 minutes a day.
Close your mouth and purse your lips. Hold for 30 seconds.
With mouth open, move jaw to the right and hold for 30 seconds. Repeat on left side.
With mouth open, contract the muscle at the back of your throat repeatedly for 30 seconds. Tip: Look in the mirror to see the uvula (“the hanging ball”) move up and down.

Medical cures and treatments for snoring

If you’ve tried the self-help solutions to stop snoring without success, don’t give up hope. Medical cures and treatments could make all the difference. New advances in the treatment of snoring are being made all the time and the various devices available to stop snoring are becoming more and more effective and comfortable. So even if your doctor recommends something that in the past you found to be uncomfortable or ineffective at stopping your snoring, that doesn’t mean the same will be true now.

Medical cures for snoring

If your own efforts to stop snoring do not help, consult your physician or an otolaryngologist (an ear, nose, and throat doctor, otherwise known as an ENT). If you choose to try a dental appliance for your snoring, you will need to see a dentist specializing in these devices.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). To keep your airway open during sleep, a machine at your bedside blows pressurized air into a mask that you wear over your nose or face.
Dental appliances, oral devices, and lower jaw-positioners often resemble an athlete’s mouth guard. They help open your airway by bringing your lower jaw or your tongue forward during sleep.
Traditional surgery such as Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), Thermal Ablation Palatoplasty (TAP), tonsillectomy, and adenoidectomy, increase the size of your airway by surgically removing tissues or correcting abnormalities. The Pillar procedure is also an effective surgery in which small plastic implants are inserted into the soft palate. Scar tissue grows around the implants, stiffening the soft palate, which stops vibrations that cause snoring.
New developments. Laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP) and somnoplasty remove parts of the soft palate to reduce snoring using lasers or radiofrequency signals. These newer remedies may require further study.

When to see a doctor about snoring

Snoring can sometimes be a warning sign of a more serious problem. A doctor should evaluate someone who snores for any underlying medical conditions, other sleeping disorders such as sleep apnea, or any sleep-related breathing problems. Call your doctor if you and your sleep partner have noticed any of the following red flags:

You snore loudly and heavily and are tired during the day.
You stop breathing, gasp, or choke during sleep.
You fall asleep at inappropriate times, such as during a conversation or a meal.

To rule out a more serious problem, a physician may refer you to a sleep specialist for a home-based sleep test using a portable monitor or an overnight stay at a sleep clinic. If these sleep studies conclude that the snoring is not related to any sleeping or breathing disorders, you can discuss different treatment options to stop the snoring.
