Healthy Eating Habits to Pursue for a Lifetime

2019-06-07T21:41:00.000+05:30

No matter which part of the world you reside in, there are certain eating habits you must inculcate if you want to remain healthy for your lifetime. These timeless practices will ensure your well-being for a long period of time.

People have their ways, and when it comes to eating, most of us become somewhat choosy. We like something crazily, and we detest something greatly. We also construct our own rules depending upon what we recollect from the abound information flourishing on the web. We listen to the tips of our friends; we abide by the advice of our doctors. We also tend to follow the diet charts of prominent dieticians. Why then, most of us fail to get results? Why then, the result we get is only momentary? If you carry all these questions in your head, you will get the answers right here.

‘Eating healthy’ is something that depends upon a combination of factors like your health condition, surrounding environment, and your fitness goals put together. What is miraculous for one chap, may not be as suitable to his friend. It is this reason why a diet plan that works wonders for one person fails miserably for another, and this is why every person needs a focused dietary attention tailor made for him. But there are some rules that apply on every fitness routine irrespective of their origin or goal. If you are a fluffy young women trying to get ripped - you follow it. If you are a wiry gentleman struggling to put on some body mass - you follow it. No matter which body ailment you are aiming to get rid of, there are some rubrics of this game that cannot be avoided. Let’s have a look at them in detail.

When to eat to get a first-rate outcome?

Only when you feel hungry

The golden rule is “Eat when you are hungry.” This is one of the metrics even doctors are not sure about. But lately there is a lot of consensus on this issue. People have begun to realize that it is the body that best judges when it wants to load on. If you experience indigestion and gas, the body will inform you that it is unwilling to swallow any bit of food. If you have intense loss of energy your body will relish a square meal. People in the ancient era relied on their primary instinct of hunger, and they were really in fine fettle. Yes, there are concerns relating to sugar and salt cravings, and will talk about them later. But for now, follow this one basic advice.

As per your timings, morning is the best time to treat yourself. Just after you get up, and refresh yourself, have a combo of carb and protein rich breakfast which is not enormously heavy neither very easily digestible. Keep a gap of 4 to 5 hours and have an enriching lunch. According to Ayurveda, this should be the heaviest of your daily meals. Stuff as much roughage as you can to have a sound bowel movement. Have a light evening snacks as per the demand of your everyday regime, and finish your day with a light pleasing dinner on the platter. Remember to finish your dinner at least 3 hours before you go to sleep to experience a refreshing morning.

Always do care to maintain a break of at least 3 hours before opting for another repast. As far as children are concerned, they can have more number of meals with smaller intervals depending upon their energy points. The adults can also adjust this frequency according to their activity levels, but with less freedom. If you cannot have your lunch or breakfast separately for any reason, go for a brunch followed by healthy evening snacks and a usual dinner.

What to eat for a good health?

Eat good carbs, good fat, good protein and some fruit and veggies

Eating less carbohydrates consistently goes a long way in losing weight, but you should always include decent amount of carbs to assist your body metabolism. Best options in carbohydrates are brown rice, wheat, whole grains and fresh fruits. Some fruits like apple, pear, musk melon, grapes and papaya are best when taken on an empty stomach. Make sure they are ripe. Less ripe fruits can be taken with salad or included in afternoon snacks. Carbohydrates found in tubers like mishrind or potato are also suggested but use them in moderation.

Proteins are the building blocks of body. They are found in abundance in pulses, beans, peas, grams, nuts and milk products if you are a vegetarian. For non-vegies lean meat or eggs form the best options. Too much eggs for a long period of time is said to increase your blood cholesterol levels, so keep this thing in mind. Fishes are also excellent meat options also loaded with omega fatty-3 oils. Probiotics like curd and buttermilk are recommended for everyone who desires to flaunt a healthy stature.

Choose a cooking oil that is natural and contains unsaturated fats. Some of them are mustard, peanut, olive, coconut, sesame and groundnuts. Sunflower, rice bran or soya are generally hydrogenated oils – so avoid them if you can. Groundnuts, peanuts, walnuts and fish oil are also healthy sources of omega fatty oils. Butter or ghee are beneficial for the ones who use them cautiously.

Last but not the least - vegetables – never undermine them. Enjoy a vibrant mix of veggies every day to encash a treasure trove of vitamins, minerals and fibers and complete a thoroughly balanced diet. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach and red greens contain minerals in high quantity with b-complex vitamins. Other colorful veggies like carrots, pumpkins, tomatoes and cauliflowers add a combination of vitamins into your scheme. Also include spices like turmeric, ginger, garlic and so on to cleanse and replenish your system.

Some passing thoughts on healthy eating

Small useful tricks

Do not overeat. Do not starve yourself.
Always wash your hands before eating. (Lol, a childish rule we sometimes forget)
Drink water at least 15 minutes before of 40 minutes after your meal.
Try to take salty and sweet diets separately.
Stay away from too much salt or sugar.
Never try milk products with fruit or meat.
Oil rich food should be taken at night.
Roughage stuffed salad is for the day.
Avoid mix salad. Instead opt for different item for different meals.
Never consume beetle leaves after ripe jackal fruit.
Never mix ghee and honey.
Cook in Stainless steel or iron pots and avoid aluminum.
After dinner a small slow night walk is recommended.
Don’t eat while talking or work while eating.
Don’t drink much water while eating. Just take small sips when required.

There is much more that surely can be added into this list. But to keep it simple and straightforward, you should strictly commit yourself to these guidelines which are the concise summary of the secrets you can find splattered here and there on the internet. Always read more and inform yourself better to equip yourself with healthy eating habits that actually have the capacity to radically transform your life. But for now, I believe these are the habits that ought to be adapted for the lifetime with a lifetime’s incentives.

Smartphones and Road Safety

2019-05-31T20:53:00.000+05:30

Around 17 people lose their precious lives every passing hour in road accidents in India alone, out of which, a whooping number of deaths can singlehandedly be attributed to the use of smartphones while driving. A research conducted years ago presents us with this alarming figure which is yet to achieve its zenith.

Road safety has become a burning issue of late, and smartphones are there only to aggravate the already frustrating conundrum behind the surging number of vehicular mishaps. The world on the whole is not far behind India in this respect. According to the annual report of The Governors Highways Safety Association, USA, the pedestrian fatalities have scooted up by 50% from the year 2009 to 2018 sending a chill down the spines of susceptible masses. The estimated casualties in USA stood at 6,227 for the year 2018. Yet, another survey platform Zebra maintains that 14% of all the fatal crashes comprise of distractions caused by cell phone usage.

It is a dismal picture in the first hand because most of these incidents occur due to the factors that are completely under our control. Each day we are bombarded with the stories of shattered vehicles and videos of ambulance transporting injured bodies to the nearby hospital. Very few of us realize that it could have been prevented. There are a lot of mishaps that were waiting to occur but went unheeded, and resulted in a grief when occasion was ripe. One could have sacrificed a few minutes instead of learning it the wrong way. But the spectators again fail to gather any lesson, and commit the same bloopers to keep this deadly cycle alive.

To add to this woe, there is no feasible government regulation to thwart this menace. There are rules on drunk driving, but how to prevent commuters from using their phones is an untouched subject so far in the records. It is not pragmatic either. You cannot completely censor the lives of individuals, and make them dump their phones at home. It is even practically impossible to keep track of every bloke using the street, and check to ascertain that his smartphone is switched off. The ironical stuff is that smartphones actually help many of the drivers to commute by showing them the directions or best routes to their destination. How then, you deal with such an enigma?

One solution may be churning out awareness campaigns targeted primarily towards the youth. Young people tend to emulate their social ideals, and involving some sport personalities or TV stars would not be a bad idea. The aim should be to make them feel proud of adhering to the implicit rules of safety and precaution. They should regard it their responsibility as informed cosmopolitans to make the road safer for other people and themselves. People who use smartphones everywhere without consideration should be encouraged to be more alert and receptive to their surroundings. A culture of pride should be inculcated in kids from the very beginning for being able to do something without cellphones. But if this tactic fails who is there to blame - it is none but us.

We are apt at laughing our hearts aloud when it comes to other people losing their track, but significantly discount our own mistakes. After a person slips down from atop a steep cliff while taking selfies, another death is reported a few days later on the similar grounds. We see a passersby hit by a truck, but we never stop texting our friend and crossing the road at the same time. It is, as if we have stopped watching television or reading news. There is only as much of cognizance a person can command, and while driving or walking down the lanes you cannot afford to let your attention flutter. You might be a hero in a PUBG game but you cannot try out the same formula on a bustling highway. There's no retake there.

We are free to cherry-pick our route, but why blame lifeless articles for the same. Like many other persistent evils, there is very little that is plausible to be done here by any magic wand. The responsibility of using cellphones judiciously hinges upon the ones who use it. Let us not close our eyes to the reality - Our road safety is in the greatest peril today, and we are the ones responsible for it, not the smartphones.

How cigarette is beneficial for health

2019-05-31T20:47:00.000+05:30

The recent trend of various state governments to impose ban on all the other forms of tobacco produces but exclude cigarettes from the list has forced many rational skulls to seriously reconsider their insights into the benefits associated with cigarette consumption. Even I am not an exception, and I am really enlightened by the idea of cigarettes being advantageous to human beings in some way or the other. I just wanted social confirmation, and got it aplenty from our governments.

Although, even the wackiest of cigarette smokers would turn their heads in disbelief if they are informed about the incentives that cigars bring with them. Poor creatures, they themselves are unaware of the huge contribution they are making towards the well-being of the people around them. Other tobacco products are merely meant for personal consumption. But those are rollups that are made for the society as a whole. Don't believe me! - Let me elaborate.

Suppose you are chewing Pan Masala. The crowd around you doesn't enjoy. You successfully color the clean flooring nearest to you, but the taste you savor cannot be shared by anyone else. Even your deed is not a team work, hence no one is amused. But look at these cigars - The moment you light them up, there is a sense of appreciation on the faces of the onlookers. You are perceived as the snazziest of all the personalities in your neighborhood. When you puff at someone's face, you actually do a great service to him. The person becomes your team mate. He devours the aroma emanating from your holy aperture, and quickly reaches the state of rapture. What more, without any extra cost or penance you provide him with a surplus of health assistances otherwise hard to comprehend or acquire.

Now recall any hit movie of your choice. There is a more than 50% chance that someone is most ostentatiously enjoying a fag every now and then. You can visualize the amount of swagger in his stride. Don't you want to copy that? Doesn't the crowd roar aloud when he unbolts his eyes after treating himself with the ultimate freshness to deliver a killer repartee? Are you not affected? You begin to visualize yourself in his attire even as you are inside the theatre, and come out to find yourself beaming with confidence and gist. Not just you, the entire throng is elated. The whole lot is blessed.

A negligible quantity of smoke in comparison to numerous vehicles and factories that yield daily into our system is nowhere to apprehend. But a contribution is a contribution. It is this aid that keeps our winters warm. It is this ceaseless exertion that makes the loftiest of icebergs melt, and keeps our Ganga afloat even in the sizzling heat of summer. Countless people garner amazing health revenues by taking a dip in those holy waters, and you are ones who grant them this privilege. It is the result of your great labor that Dwarka is today submerged into the sea, and all of us have the opportunity to admire it, and marvel at its historical worth.

So, next time don't feel guilty when you crave for a cigarette. Just light it up, and light the lives of millions of buddies near and around you. Care for the well-being of masses not just yourself. Health is wealth, and make sure every chap is affluent.

The Irony of Our Twisted Palates

2019-05-24T18:01:00.000+05:30

The human race has evolved enough to turn a blind eye to its mysteriously transmuting dispositions. Even this old deserted mansion with all its beauty and grandeur is nothing more than the supreme manifestation of the changing palates of our times. It is a living specimen of the curious shift in choice criteria of the human civilization in its prime.

An old deserted Victorian mansion

Myriad voyagers have passed this way, but none has taken pains to halt and throw a glance at the unheralded captivating prowess of this cynosure bungalow. Though much archaic in its buildup, it is replete with quaint orbs of rexine elegance and uber-cool shapes of varying sizes. Some are hefty, while others are miniscule replication of the bigger ones creating a sense of talismanic utopia. The imposing motifs painted consummatedly all around the panoply of rotund spheres add more gist to the already captivating beauty of lissome vegetation encapsulating the main entrance inviting you to take a break from your mundane cares and cruise a while in its rustic glory.

A milieu awash with kaleidoscopic pallete of sprawling pasture is a scene to behold and relish. Hitherto concealed from the public view facing an extended spell of ignorance, the verdant meadows are well equipped to present the spectator with a heady spate of pastoral bliss. Reverberating with exciting bliss of copious serenity, this spot was by no means destined for inattention and negligence. Why then, this astounding creation of Mother Nature is unable to churn out a stopover from the troupers of contemporary cohort? Why is this enticing artifact so deserted?

The lucid inability of modern buffs to fathom its pricy worth pushes me into questioning the uncanny fad of this millennium. Being locked inside, sequestered into an apartment room confined to monotonous schedules caring to heed nothing but our daily chucks - has become the cult of our generation. We, today, are bound by fluffy mirages of illusionary gusto propelled by an urge to feel and perceive only as much as mandatory to our survival. We have speciously crafted our senses to dupe our own conscience.

Our persistent attempt to fit everything into a prefixed domain of space and time has immensely weakened our ability to think and reason, thereby, spoiling our palates. We are alive, but for the namesake. Memories - We crave to acquire and cherish - are nowhere to be found. We hanker after the fruitless ambitions of paltry attainments, only to realize in the end that we have mustered nothing more than a few fragile articles of ornamentation to be positioned safely on the mantelshelf. We have mesmerized the art of meandering carelessly in the cozy citadel of nature.

Why Life is So Cruel

2019-05-24T17:56:00.000+05:30

The lexicon of life does not dote on every chap with the plush of glee and ecstasy. It betrays us -Most of us - all the times. It hits us hard, hard at the core with its deceitful conduct. And we, hapless creatures, encumbered by our tested endurance, and appalled by the persistent ordeal, stagger and trip, and get up again to on our pegs to toss up the sole query to the azure, " Why the heck is life so cruel to us?"

Sometimes as a human being, I ponder earnestly upon the plentitude of misgivings we manage to muster through the brief cameo of our existence. We never complain, or we do -Occasionally, but not once, we let it come to fore. We simmer, simmer silently, in the furnace of compulsory subsistence bound by the unremitting proxies of composure and calm until our patience fades, and we can take it no more. We, then, gradually make it a practice to blame the invisible for every misadventure we attain in our daily expedition.

Does this approach ever help us to disentangle the labyrinth of complexities and compulsions that are prepared to yank us back into the domain of distress? For us, the primary question invariably remains intact - Why has life been so cruel? Was our making meant to be a mere stint of agony and pain, or do we own a purpose -A design that could accord a meaning to our sustenance?

Perhaps, answers to these questions are as testing to figure out as chopping off the wings of a sparrow, and asking her to take a comfy trip to the blue. All of us are invariably prone to these knotty riddles at least once in our lifetime, and life recompenses the souls who come out victorious with spot-on answers to these perplexing mysteries of existence. No doubt, you have been treated unfairly by the circumstances, you too command an equal chance to mend your ailing providence with a reconditioned trajectory towards harmony and delight.

This is ridiculously easy, as easy as having a cup of tea. But to have this leisure you need to look at yourself rather than enmeshing yourself in the maze of oblivion and distrust. People who discover brilliant rejoinders to the posers of survival are in no way different from us. They are just hopeful. They are confident about changing the cards of the game, and this belief grants them the requisite pluck and mettle to achieve the bounty for their sweat.

Over time, we pucker a lot of cynicism and mistrust to be able to put up a suitable match to our holdups. This renders us lackluster and incompetent, even to easiest of the hurdles we come across. We need to change this. We need to amend our perspective if we really aspire to turn the tables. Whether or not we are going to come out victorious should not hold us back from putting up a sound fight to your circumstances. Only this stance can equip us with the ability to rebound and claim our lives back from the fangs of uncertainties. Reading the biographies of great men or drawing inspiration from true life stories might not help everyone, as most of us have already had fought back with valor, and have certainly left no stone unturned in trying out every bit of our resistance before the ultimate surrender. The only thing that can suitably motivate us is our own self.

Do not infer that we have to sit down and start introspecting. This is the predominant angle echoed nonstop in the motivational lectures apparently never bearing fruits in the real life. Just knowing that we have given your best, and none other than us is capable of doing better will be enough to restore our long lost agility. Others have certainly not bumped into comparable footraces in their trip, and we are blessed in having the chance to call ourselves the pluckiest combatants of this amazing sphere.

Life has been harsh upon us, but who cares. We will relax and let it do its bit. We never mind friends jeering upon us, or rivals furtively waiting for their turn to disparage us. We are impervious. We are tough. We have enough of our share of cake, and we are going to show to them who the boss is. We take our time. We devise our plan. We get up again. This time with a new verve, with a fresh dash, and with a titivated blueprint. We are out to regain possession of our lives - it has no business being cruel to us.

Premises of Judging a Person

2019-05-24T17:39:00.000+05:30

When you choose to judge a person, you inadvertently tend to display the hidden facets of your inner self. How you make an outline of someone's personality starkly coincides with your power of ideation and your extent of reasoning put behind it.

Before assessing the worth of an individual, it is paramount to accurately weigh the complexities involved in this seemingly artless trait of human endeavor. What you find to be immaculate to your perspective, may turn out to be below par for other people, and your idea of a trifling may prove to be someone else's epitome of glory. Everyone is right in his own den of knowledge and perception. It rarely implies that your hefty standards confirm to their shaky yardsticks, or your inherent drive suffices to match their process of opinion formation.

It is of optimum importance to adjudicate the level of your own prudence before you embark upon drawing conclusion upon others. No one is perfect in this world, and we often fall prey to our eccentric ignorance of human subsistence metrics. We regularly falter in putting ourselves in others' shoes, thereby, committing blunders in sizing up someone's moral stature. Our conscience derides us of our actual intent, and we are misled immensely by the prejudices we carry on our shoulders.

However, we are bound by our perennial tendency to evaluate and rank every guy passing through our memory lane. It never occurs to us that conformity to established norms is just another mundane error. Societal standards are never the same, and they deviate sharply in accordance with culture and time. Being a bloke in the globe of starling uncertainties makes you adjust and adapt to different circumstances in varying proportions, and that's why we differ drastically in our approach to life events that subsequently contribute in shaping our social image. Many of us fail to realize this simple fact, and give way to presumption and short-sightedness.

A precarious entity we are, prone to untraceable mistakes, but we refuse to heed. It hurts our ingenuity to accept the fallacies of our inheritance, and we often juxtapose our past experiences alongside others' to pass a quick verdict upon them. This human weakness of unconsciously picturing ourselves flawless, and not willing to consider the flip side of the coin - is one of the principal biases we face in the modern world today. We draw naive conclusions unaware of the real time dynamics associated with the concerned entity. The substratum of our decision, hence, does not coincide with the gravity of the situation in a particular milieu, making our assessment faulty and redundable.

A consummate creation is just a produce of mind, and different auras appeal differently to people. Nothing is pristine in the real sense. What we perceive of others is just a reflection of our vivid imagery gained through a sequence of experimentation and trials. It is, therefore, innately essential to weigh the origin of the very premises on which you judge others. Before surmising others' virtue, it is extremely imperative to discern the limits of your acumen.

Friendship Day: Where Are Friends?

2013-08-03T22:15:00.000+05:30

Friends, who have the greatest bearing on your lifestyle and persona, are also the ones who attach meaning to your existence. Friendship day is a chance to strengthen that bond of noble amity between you and your pal.

Friendship day is the day to adore and embrace your old and new companions. Nevertheless, it also brings a garland of memories with itself – Memories old and new, memories cheerful and dismal, memories of vivid colors and shapes – which give you enough reasons to revisit your past. You quickly recall the days when you wandered aimlessly on the wiry streets of the city with your bubbly gang. You also remember the moments of sheer laughter with no hidden agenda. Did you ever have to smile then to please your buddy? Nay, I bet. You probably might have smiled to tease your friend.

All those childhood fables seem to be a distant dream now. The pretty girl that insisted on sitting beside you might nowadays be not entertaining you at all. The boy who did fight on your behalf would have turned your competitor at the present. What may be most baffling is the attitude of your present buddies. They might be taking note of your every single action to repay you when the time arrived. Where are those selfless friends who would stake everything for you even without caring for your consent? Aren’t they lost somewhere amid the chaos of gifts and celebrations.

I do not argue against the viability of parties and presents on the friendship day eve. The only thing I would like to point towards is the triviality of such show-offs. Elbert Hubbard has rightly affirmed the moral fiber of a true friend,

"Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you."

The solidity of your comradeship should not depend upon the weight of presents or the word meaning of the psalms you sang for your friend. It should instead reflect the amount of love and respect you command irrespective of your circumstances. Friendship ensues your willingness to like someone for what he is. The contrary is true for most of the situations and this is the reason for the perky nature of today’s friendship.

People meet in haste, exchange their views and then depart in equal alacrity. Those who remain with you need continual testimony of your suitability and adaptability. You are always alert to present yourself in the most appealing and acceptable manner, lest it should hurt your alliance. What a pity it is to falsely praise a person to be able to call him a friend. Does it not make sense to include a special subject on friendship in curriculums? It has already started in bits and pieces on the internet and has affected the natural process of initiation of a healthy relationship between two or more people at large, the youngsters being the most severely mislead.

Friends that calculate your worth on whatsoever parameters are not lifetime companions. They are not to be trusted for testing times. If you like making friends, choose not the ones who are polite but choose the ones who are criticizing and stand for you at the need of the hour. Choose not the ones who expect to dine with you in a restaurant but go for the person who can do away with a cup of tea. It is this variety of people who provide happiness in a relationship. The parting idea would be remind you of the words of Walter Winchell that are very clear in their meaning,

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."

Provider, toil so faithfully
To make our dreams come true
Give strong and tender discipline

A Father is God's chosen one
To lead the family
And point it to His will for life
Of love and harmony...

Your goodness, as is just and right.
Deeds are seeds upon the night
As wind and wonder have their way,
Delivering the destined light.

Author Unknown

Poem 3: Father's Day

Over the years
As we grow old,
We remember our father
So brave and bold.

In the garden,
Leaning on the plow,
He would listen to me;
I see him now.

He would give advice
And understand;
He was always there
To lend a hand.

God made fathers
Strong and firm,
For he knew our lives
Would have great concerns.

So he gave us fathers
To teach us to pray,
And guide our lives,
And show us the way.

So on his day
Let's take the time
To say "Thanks, dad.
I'm glad you're mine."

Mary Frances Bogle

Poem 4: What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad

Author Unknown

Poem 5: My Dad and I

My dad and I-we think alike,
He knows just what I mean
Before I even say a word
He reads, well, in between.

My dad and I-we like to fish
Or build a model plane,
Or fix a broken chair or two
Or just a windowpane.

My dad and I-we know the score
Of every single game;
Sometimes he's really busy, too
But he takes me just the same.

My dad and I-we go swimming too,
Each year and sometimes twice.
My dad and I-we do everything;
My dad-he's really nice.

Phyllis C. Michael

Poem 6: Daddy you are the Best

Daddy you are the best,
although you live in the west.
stay the way you are,
while your driving your sports car.

You couldn't be a better dad
oh yeah, don't go driving around mad
I love you for ever
'cause you'r really clever

Even though i puss and shove
I will still show all my love

Olivia Elliott & Simeran Mason

Poem 7: God made a father

God made a father who is,
as sweet as a nectar,
as brave as a lion,
as cheerful as a bear,
and he gave such dear father to me.

Tanusri Gopal Krishnan

Poem 8: Grandfathers

Grandfathers Are Fathers Who Are Grand
Grandfathers are fathers who are grand,
Restoring the sense that our most precious things
Are those that do not change much over time.
No love of childhood is more sublime,
Demanding little, giving on demand,
Far more inclined than most to grant the wings
Allowing us to reach enchanted lands.
Though grandfathers must serve as second fathers,
Helping out with young and restless hearts,
Each has all the patience wisdom brings,
Remembering our passions more than others,
Soothing us with old and well-honed arts.

Tricks To Ruin Your Love Life Forever

2013-03-12T17:35:00.000+05:30

Introduction of tricks into the game of love is not an alien concept today. People like to attract their crush with minimum effort and time, and use numerous tactics to achieve this end. This article lists out the top five tricks that may adversely affect your relationship and ruin your love life forever.

Have you ever heard about tricks ruining your love life? A lot many people like to play tricks in a bid to attract their love partners. Though, sometimes these tactics work quite brilliantly, making you seem like a great winner, in many cases, they even backfire- forcing you to forgo any chance that you earlier deserved in your relationship. You end up smashing the sentiments of the very person you intended to amuse, and not to mention, the permanent damage inflicted upon your romantic image. Yes, tricks do hurt. They can ruin your love life forever if ever a loophole remains, and majority of the times, it actually happens.

Rightly speaking, all the tricks are equally detrimental to a sound relationship, but there are a few of them that may leave a long lasting scar on your rapport which may not be easy to do away with. Being alarmed in advance is the best way you can protect your love life from getting marred by the strategic games of attraction. Your love life is at stake if you are introducing any of these tricks into your relationship.

Creating private situations

Many times, you may be tempted to create private situations in order to convert your casual relationship into an intimate one. A good example is sending your friend to fetch something while you both are left alone. There is nothing wrong in doing this. The only thing to be taken care of is whether your lover likes it. If she is not ready for it, she may start avoiding you, and your dream voyage may soon turn into a nightmare.

Rumoring false stories

Rumors take precedence over all the true stories of love. If ever you construct a hypothetical story about your love life and tell it to someone, the situation may get tricky beyond your control. Your friends may make their own analysis and craft it to suit their purpose. The resultant will be a hyped gossip that will soon reach her ears and turn her off forever.

Maintaining extra distance

Maintaining a healthy distance is a good strategy to move forward in a relationship. However, if this distance becomes too much, it may give way to doubt and distrust. Your lover may perceive it as a lack of interest on your part. She may also pick it out as a sign of disloyalty, and the inevitable may make its way into your otherwise scot-free love life.

Promoting fake image

Many of us also resort to creating a fictitious image in front of our love partners so as to match their interests and expectations. This tactic can be more damaging than you might have ever imagined. Think about her reaction when she finds out a con-artiste in you. The blatant verdict is that she didn’t love you. She loved the propped up reflection of a person that never existed. Certainly apply this trick if you are adamant on ruining your love life.

Dating someone else

The final blow to a relationship can be given by this simple but most popular strategy of love arena today. You will either succeed in pulling her towards you like a magnet or fail miserably. When she finds you out with someone else, she will have three options left- Close the door and cry aloud , try to snatch you away from her, or make the cheapest assumption of your character, and eradicate the very thought of meeting you again. This trick comes in handy if you are fed up with your love life.

Playing tricks, in a nutshell, is almost never going to fetch the results in the long run. On the contrary, it is surely going to demolish your love life forever if you fall short of accuracy. The lesson is-- Be extra careful in applying these techniques if you value your relationship. Go to extremes if you think otherwise.

And help the age of peace to come
From a Dreamer's martyrdom.

Its poignant meaning for the hearts of men.
Let us get back our childlike faith again.

Create Recent Posts Widget Using Feedburner

2012-12-12T16:53:00.000+05:30

Feedburner is a great way to create a simple and quick loading recent posts widget on your homepage or in the sidebars. You can even be able to show your images if you have chosen to apply read more break after the images.

If you are fed up using the slow recent posts widgets on your blog or do not want to show the latest posts on your homepage for some reason, there is no harm in giving a try to feedburner. It is not only easy to implement, but also customizable, and what’s good is that it even loads faster than many such services. An added advantage associated with it is that you can choose to display it anywhere, even on other sites or blogs. Let us then, learn to implement it’s code on your blog.

Activating BuzzBoost on your feed

First of all, go to your feed on feedburner. Under the publicize tab, you will find BuzzBoost service. Click on that. The opened window will display the code, the preview of your feed and the settings for your feed. Don’t worry about the dirty look of the preview; you should be concerned about the settings for your BuzzBoost. The settings section will look something similar to this.

Choose the number of posts you want to display and configure other options in the way you need in your widget. Under “item content to display” select the option “plain text” if you just need a simple and clean recent posts. However, you can opt to display the full HTML (This will take the same formatting you have applied to your post body). If you want to display the images, make sure to put your jump break after those images and set your blog feeds to “until jump break” in your blog settings. Look at the preview to ensure you have not made any mistake. Then, save and activate your BuzzBoost service.

The buzzBoost service will automatically update the code and render it on the top.

Adding the widget code to your blog

Your next task will be to style the widget and its content. To do this, you need to put your feedburner code into the division tags assigning an id as this:

</div>

The portion highlighted is the one you got from feedburner. Add this code in the form of a HTML widget, wherever you want to show it on your blog.

Styling your recent posts widget

Using the ID that you assigned to the feedbrner block, You get plenty of options to style your recent posts widget. An example is given here,

<style>

#fb { background: #FEFEFE; background-color: #FFFFFF;

background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#FFFFFF), to(#F9F9F9)) !important;

background-image: linear-gradient(#FFFFFF, #F9F9F9) !important; list-style-type:none; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; border-radius: 10px; margin: 30px 0px 0px 10px; padding: 10px;}

#fb ul {list-style-type:none;}

#fb ul li { margin: 6px; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #EEEEEE; border-radius: 5px;}

#fb ul li a{ font-weight: bold; font-size: 13px; Padding-bottom: 10px;}

div #creditfooter{ display: none;}

</style>

The portion “div #creditfooter” is for the feedburner logo. You can either style it to show on the left, right, top or bottom or just choose to hide as I have done here. You can play with the code to achieve the desired output. For this, you have to go to “Add HTML/CSS” option under the advance settings for customizing your template and paste the code in the box there. You can even experiment with the BuzzBoost settings concurrently to see what works for you. Click on save template when you are satisfied with the look and feel of your recent posts widget and thank feedburner for its excellent services.

How to Optimize Header Tags in Blogger

2012-05-21T02:59:00.000+05:30

There are numerous bloggers struggling to optimize the header tags of blogger. If you too are facing the same problem, we have come up with a decent solution for you.

Blogspot has been the most popular platform for bloggers since the time it was launched. With the passage of time, numerous innovations took place and now you have almost everything on blogger to give you a thrilling blogging experience. The only thing that has not been fixed till now is the heading tags. And, as we know even Google places some amount of importance on heading tags. How will you then fix this problem? A simple and effective solution is here, read on.

What is the problem with header tags in blogger?

I believe, most of us know that h1 should be the most important heading in a page. If you visit a wordpress blog, you will find the post titles containing h1 tag. But, on blogger, you have the blog title with h1 tag, followed by h2 tag for widgets. Your post title has an h3 tag, which means having a lesser importance in the eyes of a search engine. The bigger problem arises when you try to change your post titles to h2. All your headings may change their sizes and your blog may look real scrap. The only solution remains is to exchange the heading tags of the post titles with that of the blog title and use a header image in place of text.

How to change the heading tags of post titles?

Step 1: Go to blogger template in the new blogger interface. Click on Edit html button. (Before doing any changes to your template, I strongly advise you to backup your template and download a copy of it. The backup/restore button is situated on the top right of the same page.)

Step 2: Press Ctrl+F and type h1. The h1 tags in your template will be highlighted. You can press enter to go to the next section containing h1 tag.
Most probably, you will find three places containing h1 tags. You can see them below.

.Header h1 {

font: $(header.font);

color: $(header.text.color);

text-shadow: $(header.shadow.offset.left) $(header.shadow.offset.top) $(header.shadow.spread) rgba(0, 0, 0, .2);

}

.Header h1 a {

color: $(header.text.color);

}

Replace all these h1 tags with h3 and click on save template. You can check your template to see if you have done it correctly. The blog header font should reduce to the size of post titles.

Note: We could have first changed the h3 tags into h1, but it is always easier to remember the sections containing h1 tags, since, they are fewer in number.

Step 3: Click on expand widgets and now search for h3 tags. Be sure to remember the places where you earlier changed h1 into h3. A good tactics to remember them is that the changed h3 headings will always be after “.header”. Don’t tamper with these; leave them as it is. As for all the other h3 tags, replace 3 with 1 and save the template.

Note: Don’t leave any h3 headings unchanged apart from the ones that were earlier h1, otherwise, you may not get the desired results. One great way to check that you have changed every heading is to search again for h3 tags after completion. You will find exactly 3 h3 tags.

Step 4: The final step is to change your header into a pre-designed image. Your blog title will look somewhat like your post titles after the tweak. If you are happy with it and can change your description font to suit it, then it is well and good. If not, go to layout section. You will find the header just below the navbar and favicon sections. Click on edit button and a window will open. Upload your image that is well suited to the width of your blog header. From the placement options given below, choose the one that best matches with your strategy and click save. If you don’t like to show your diminished header font, you can choose “instead of title and description” option.

Why change h1 tags into h3?

You cannot have/should not have two h1 tags on a single page. This is a great seo sin. Since, h1 is the most important heading that displays the very purpose of a page, it can be implemented only once. All the other headings including h2 and h3 can vary in numbers. The more important a heading is, the less number of times it should be used.

As for now your biggest problem is sorted out. You should not be concerned about h2 headings, since, they are always counted after the h1 headings and you may really need a great deal of time and effort in tweaking everything manually. Yes, there are other great methods to optimize the heading tags in blogger, for example, changing the h3 headings into h2. But, rightly speaking, this one works well and fine with least amount of distortion in your blog design and feel.

What RAM Do I Need?

2012-05-14T15:46:00.000+05:30

What RAM do I have? What size of RAM do I need? Do I need more RAM? Clear your doubts about the most commonly asked questions concerning your computer memory.

Most people are concerned as to what size and type of memory their computers require for optimum performance. It is rather a good sign that you care for your PC, and particularly about the memory, which plays a magnificent role in deciding the performance of any computer. The more alert you are to your RAM needs the better service it is going to render you. Here is a short FAQs section to resolve some of the most common doubts about the memory needs of your computer. Hope, it will help you answer your prime question, “What RAM do I need?” For understanding the basics of the primary memory, please refer this post, What is RAM?

The Following questions are dealt here with:

Where is RAM located on my computer?

How do I recognize RAM?

What size of RAM do I have?

What size of RAM do I need?

What RAM do I need for video/photo editing?

What RAM do I need for my server?

What type of RAM do I need?

Do I need more RAM?

Where is RAM located on my computer?

Generally, RAM is located next to processor on the motherboard of the computer. Most of the times it is placed on the upper right corner of the main board in sockets. In laptops, however, you can find it around the bottom in the form of sticks implanted with the help of screws.

How do I recognize RAM?

You need not worry much to find RAM as it is easily identifiable. It looks like a board itself with number of pins ranging from 100 to 240 depending on the type of RAM. It is placed in slots with two or more sockets to leave room for memory expansion. You will usually find empty slots next to the RAM that came with your computer, so that you can easily install more RAM if the need arises.

What size of RAM do I have?

To find out what size of RAM you have on your computer, just right click on the computer icon on the desktop and select properties. Under the heading system, you will have your RAM size and processor type listed. Even if you just click open the computer, on the bottom you may find the size of RAM installed in your computer. Another way is to find out what RAM you have is through the control panel. Just open the system icon on the control panel and you will find the required information listed there.

What size of RAM do I need?

Generally, the modern computers require 1GB or more RAM for an optimum speed. However, 32 bit operating systems have a limit of 4GB, so you cannot have more than that. If you really need more than that you need to install 64 bit operating system. A RAM of 2GB is recommended for general purposes on windows 7 or higher edition. If you are using games or video-editing, you may require more.

What RAM do I need for video/photo editing?

Photo-editing software requires 3GB or more of RAM to properly operate. As such, you can have 4GB RAM as an average. If you are planning to use video or audio editing softwares, you may need 6-8 GB or more of RAM on your PC. You can use VRAM for video adapters or 3D accelerators; Alternatively, SGRAM which is cheaper can also do for you.

What RAM do I need for my server?

The memory needs of server depend directly upon the number of users and the amount of database used. You can fluently run windows server 2003 with as little as 1GB RAM. The recommended size of RAM on windows server 2008 is 2GB with limitation of 4GB that you can have at most. This is the least you can have. The enterprise and datacenter editions can have upto 2TB of RAM. Your needs may multiply several times if you are running a large database.

What type of RAM do I need?

The type of RAM that your computer uses is the one you should actually opt for. This information can easily be found on the user manual that your company provided when you bought your PC. If you have lost your booklet, you can find the specifications printed on the sicker which can be found on the RAM of your computer. You can even enter your product specifications and find the related information on the manufacturer’s site or just by googling it. Before installing any RAM, make sure it is compatible with your system needs.

Do I need more RAM?

You need to add more RAM to your computer, if it is older and underperforming. To check out how your computer is performing, you can open the resource monitor and get the real time statistics on how much RAM your computer is using at an instant. To get a perfect idea, you can run multiple programs that you usually use and see the results. You can even open the windows experience index and see what is causing your PC to perform badly.

Mother's Day Poem:11

What is a Mother - J. Kyler McManus

What is a Mother?-

She's someone who shares

In all of your problems,

Your joys and your cares-

Someone who gives you

Right from the start

The warmth and the loves

Of her motherly heart

Someone who's loyal

And helpful and dear

And seems to grow more so

As year follows year

Life is much brighter

And happier, too

Because there are Mothers-

Mothers like you.

Mother's Day Poem:12

Mother – John Greenleaf Whittier

A picture memory brings to me;

I look across the years and see

Myself beside my mother's knee.

I feel her gentle hand restrain

My selfish moods, and know again

A child's blind sense of wrong and pain.

But wiser now,

a (wo)man gray grown,

My childhood's needs are better known.

My mother's chastening love I own.

Mother's Day Poem:13

Happy Mother's Day- Norma Nelson

Mother

I know I don’t see much

Of you these days,

But nothing can compare

Of how

Much I think about you

Everyday

How much I love you

Each day more then

The day before,

How I see you in

Me more as the years go by.

And how I love that

In me,

Because of you I am

Who I am.

Strong, honest, open,

Loving, giving and

Caring.

Thank you Mom

For being there and

For all

You’ve done.

And

For all you are

“My Mother”

Happy Mother’s Day

Mother's Day Poem:14

If I Could Give You Diamonds- Author Unknown

If I could give you diamonds

for each tear you cried for me.

if I could five you sapphires

for each truth you've helped me see.

If I could give you rubies

for the heartache that you've known

If I could give you pearls

for the wisdom that you've shown.

Then you'll have a treasure, mother,

that would mount up to the skies

That would almost match

the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes.

But I have no pearls, no diamonds,

As I'm sure you're well aware

So I'll give you gifts more precious

My devotion, love and care.

Mother's Day Poem:15

Happy Mother's Day- Carol Matthews

A Mother loves right from the start.

She holds her baby close to her heart.

The bond that grows will never falter.

Her love is so strong it will never alter.

A Mother gives never ending Love.

She never feels that she has given enough.

For you she will always do her best.

Constantly working, there's no time to rest.

A Mother is there when things go wrong.

A hug and a kiss to help us along.

Always there when we need her near.

Gently wipes our eyes when we shed a tear.

So on this day shower your Mother with Love.

Gifts and presents are nice but that is not enough.

Give your Mother a day to have some peace of mind.

Be gentle, be good, be helpful, be kind.

Happy Mothers Day.

Mother's Day Poem:16

Ode to Mothers – Kristin F. McKendall

Mothers cannot do it all

But surely do they try.

Mothers hear the angel's call,

To comfort all who cry.

Mothers for themselves may fall,

For others they will fly.

Mother's bear the weight of all,

For their children, they would die.

A Mother's gift extends beyond

All bounds of time and space.

Her lovingness and nurturing

Make Earth a peaceful place.

Loving Hands by Sue Skeen

Loving hands quickly reach

Each time she hears a cry

Lifting up to comfort

And kiss the tears all dry

Weary eyes refusing sleep

Stay the whole night through

Her child is sick and hurting

Her tender care is due

The many tasks all done in love

To make it through each day

Seem to go unnoticed

Till she is gone away

A Mother is that someone

With a mission from above

Imparting to her children

The image of God's love

Fairytales and sweet dream nights,

A kiss to wipe away my tears,

Gingerbread to ease my fears.

You gave the gift of life to me

And then in love, you set me free.

I thank you for your tender care,

For deep warm hugs and being there.

I hope that when you think of me

A part of you You'll always see.

Mother's Day Poem:9

Awake in the morning by Nathan Beyer

Awake in the morning, at three forty five

She stumbles awake, barely alive.

Why would she choose to go down this path?

Is this what she wanted, when she’s looking back?

The answer is money, as it always is

She’s got to scrape it together, and support her two kids.

She walks a path she’s never dreamed of pursuing

So far from her dreams, what she wants to be doing

So far from a vet, her childhood dream,

Now she’s winding motors, working with machines.

It’s not a path of her choosing, but she does what she can

To find happiness in this job, to make a new plan

There’s always something, a new complication

It’s one shred of happiness, a small inspiration.

It keeps her thinking, so her mind’s not a waste,

Not everyone could work in this place.

If there was one thing she would change, to better her station,

She would go to college, and pursue education.

She still loves her children; she want’s them to dream

This leads me to what she thinks I should be.

She thinks I’d do great, in the healthcare profession

For my problem solving skills, and my compassion,

I just hope she knows, what keeps me alive

Gets up every morning, at three forty five......

Mother's Day Poem:10

No One More Lovely - Charlotte Carpenter

She walks in elegance whose heart

Is filled with beauty, like the spring

Her gentleness is but a part

Of all the joy her graces bring.

The things she taught me at her knee

Are honesty and faith and love,

No one is lovelier than she

Whose soul is joined with things above.

Mother's Day Poem: 1

God's Masterpiece is Mother - Herbert Farnham

God took the fragrance of a flower...

The majesty of a tree...

The gentleness of morning dew...

The calm of a quiet sea...

The beauty of the twilight hour...

The soul of a starry night...

The laughter of a rippling brook...

The grace of a bird in flight...

Then God fashioned from these things

A creation like no other,

And when his masterpiece was through

He called it simply – Mother.

Mother's Day Poem:2

To My Mother – Anonymous

For all the times you gently picked me up,

When I fell down, For all the times you tied my shoes

And tucked me into bed,

Or needed something

But put me first instead.

For everything we shared,

The dreams, the laughter,

And the tears,

I love you with a "Special Love"

That deepens every year..

Mother's Day Poem:3

For the mom that took on the world – and won. William Ross Wallace

They say that man is mighty,

He governs land and sea,

He wields a mighty spectre,

O'er lesser powers that be,

But a mightier power and stronger,

Man from his throne has hurled,

For the hand that rocks the cradle,

Is the hand that rocks the world.

Mother's Day Poem:4

Richer than Gold- Strickland Gillilan

You may have tangible wealth untold;

Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.

Richer than I you can never be --

I had a mother who read to me.

Mother's Day Poem:5

Wonderful Mother - Pat O'Reilly

God made a wonderful mother,

A mother who never grows old;

He made her smile of the sunshine.

And He molded her heart of pure gold;

In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,

In her cheeks fair roses you see;

God made a wonderful mother,

And He gave that dear mother to me.

What is RAM: All about RAM

2012-04-25T12:58:00.000+05:30

What is RAM? What are the types and uses of RAM? How is it different from ROM? Find out all that you need to know about the primary memory of your computer in simple and easy language.

A picture depicting what is RAM and how it looks

Ram is one of the most basic parts of a computer system without which your PC is as good as nothing. Though we use it each time we sit on a computer, most of us still wonder "what is RAM" and what is the real purpose of RAM in a computer. As you can see in the picture RAM is a type of memory chip (The green chip in the picture) placed in slots just like the hard drives. Most computers today give you the option to put in additional memory into your system to optimize system speed. RAM is just like the short term memory of a person if explained in plain terms, but to know actually what is RAM, you need a further explanation.

What actually is RAM?

RAM is to a computer as is human memory to the body. It is primarily used by the CPU (Central Processing Unit) of the computer to temporarily store data while it uses them for processing. Ram consists of tiny cells arranged in the form of grid (table) where each cell can store data as a simple binary value. When your computer is turned on, the most important operating system data is quickly loaded into the RAM of your computer. This data can then be accessed at random by the processor according to its need. That is why it is known as Random Access Memory.

For more insight into what is RAM, it is actually a volatile memory. In other words, it cannot be used for permanent storage of data. As soon as, you turn off your computer, all the data stored in the RAM is lost and it becomes empty to be used again when you start your PC. RAM is so important because it allows random and instant access to the data which cannot be achieved through hard disk drives. This helps enormously in boosting the speed of operations, else it would take a similar amount of time as turning the pages of your book to retrieve information.

Best books on What is RAM

There are so many great books written on what is RAM and How it functions. Though unless and until you want to have a great technical know-how, you actually will not need a book. But if you are eager to dig deeper into the topic and gain some valuable information or even if you want to learn some exciting memory tricks, you may try these out. Currently, the following books rock the list on amazon,

How Computers Work: Processor And Main Memory (Second Edition)
Memory Systems: Cache, DRAM, Disk
Magic Tricks, Card Shuffling and Dynamic Computer Memories (Spectrum)
Memory and Storage (Understanding Computers
Rams Roms and Robots:The Inside Story of Computers

What is RAM speed or size?

Memory speed is measured in nanoseconds. It is the time taken to retrieve a piece of data from RAM. It usually ranges from 2ns to 80ns, a lower value depicting a greater speed. A good assumption of speed is made by the size of the RAM which is measured in Gigabytes (GB) or Megabytes (MB). The greater the size of RAM, the greater the amount of data it can store, hence a greater speed it can acquire.

What are the types of RAM?

Though there are many different varieties of RAM today available in the market, RAM can broadly be classified under two heads, namely DRAM and SRAM.

DRAM (Dynamic RAM): Dynamic RAM is the most commonly used type of memory as it is less expensive than static RAM. DRAM uses a transistor capacitor pair to store data in the memory cells in the form of zeros (low charge) and ones (high charge). The transistor acts as a switch to change the state from high charge to low charge and conversely.

SRAM (Static RAM): SRAM is costlier but much faster than the dynamic RAM. It uses a state of flip-flop to store a bit of data and requires less power to operate. In modern computers, static RAM is generally used as a cache memory for CPU.

How is RAM different from ROM?

ROM stands for Read Only Memory, which means it cannot be rewritten. It contains a prewritten set of instructions that are necessary for your computer to boot. It this property that makes ROM differ from what is RAM. While RAM needs electricity to load and provide data, ROM retains its data even after the computer is turned off. In plain words, ROM is a permanent memory that contains the instructions for booting your computer.

This is all about what is RAM and how it functions. For further understanding of the related concepts, you may visit the FAQs section (an extension of this post) compiled as What RAM do I need. You may find there tips on how to ascertain right amount of RAM on your computer for optimum speed and performance. If you want to install more RAM on your computer, you may visit this page, Add More RAM to Computer. But for the time being, you should now have a good level of understanding of what is RAM.

What To Do For Strong Bones

2012-04-16T15:54:00.000+05:30

Strong bones are a prerequisite of a fit body. A detailed view of what you need to do for getting strong bones is presented here. Hope it will help you.

Healthy bones form the basis of a healthy body. No amount of muscles can replace the importance of having rock solid bones in your body. Though most of us know the significance of strong bones, majority of us fail to understand the secret behind getting them. A recent survey among mothers conducted by Ipsos Research, revealed that most mothers were ignorant of the role of vitamin D in bone formation though they were aware of the contribution of calcium in attaining healthy bones. There are numerous factors that affect the overall bone formation process in the human body. All you need to do is to know them and follow them precisely to maintain a well built skeleton frame.

What you need for strong bones?

Calcium

Calcium is the main ingredient of bones in your body. The calcium need of the body increases steadily with the age but it is highest in the growing teens. The adequate intake of calcium for adults is reported to be about 1000 mg a day. In addition, mothers require a greater amount of calcium to serve their body requirements as lots of calcium is utilized for breast feeding. Here is the recommendation of The Food and Nutrition Board of The National Academy of Sciences for children below 18,

Kids of 1-3 years of age: 500 mg a day

Kids of 4-8 years of age: 800 mg a day

Kids of 9-18 years of age: 1300 mg a day

To get healthy bones, you ought to supply your body with adequate amounts of calcium for bone formation. Some of the best sources of calcium are dairy products, dark green leafy vegetables, salmon, broccoli, sardines, okra, white beans, eggs, tofu, kelp, oysters and rhubarb.

Vitamin D and vitamin K

Your calcium intake is futile if you forget about vitamin D. In the absence of vitamin D, the body is unable to absorb the sufficient amount of available calcium which leads to withdrawal of calcium from the body, resulting is weaker bones. Some of the great sources of vitamin D include salmons, tuna, sardines, orange juice, vitamin D fortified milk and shrimp. Spending 20-30 minutes daily in the sunshine will enable your body to covert vitamin D into an active and usable form, so mind it.

Apart from this, vitamin K assists certain bone forming proteins in their task and therefore is required by the body. Some good sources of vitamin K include kale, spinach, broccoli and swiss chard. Though you need it in smaller quantity, you need it.

Minerals

Minerals such as sulfur, magnesium and silica help the body in proper formation of bones. You can get sulfur in garlic and onions and magnesium through consumption of green leafy vegetables. Another mineral that should not be undermined is Potassium. It neutralizes the effect of acids that cause calcium loss in the body. Some of the great sources of Potassium are white potato, sweet potato, banana and non-fat yoghurt.

Diet for strong bones

Foods to eat

Thrive on calcium rich foods, the suggested ones are cheese, milk, yoghurt, egg, dark green leafy vegetables, salmon, sardines, okra, broccoli, spinach, tofu, white beans, sesame seeds and rhubarb.
Enhance your sulfur intake through garlic and onions.
Some of the bone building herbs are Alfalfa, dandelion root, nettle, barley grass, rose hips and parsley. Include them in your diet.
Take vitamin D fortified milk in your meal. Other sources of vitamin D are salmons, tuna, sardines and orange juice.
Always remember to include foods rich in potassium and magnesium in your diet as suggested in the previous section. Don’t forget the importance of vitamin K.
You can take vitamin and mineral supplements, but do it only after consulting your physician.

Foods to avoid

Strictly avoid caffeine intake at all costs. They cause great damage to your bones. Coffee and soda should not attract you if you like to build strong bones.
Diet rich in animal protein should also be refrained from as they cause the body to expel the calcium while the system works to break down the protein.
Don’t take excessive amounts of whole grains in your meal. According to several studies, it can bind to the calcium and drive it out of your body.
Soft drinks should be avoided as they are rich in phosphorus. Phosphorus can drain the calcium out of your body, as simple as that.

Exercise for strong bones

Exercise is as important in building and maintaining a healthy skeleton system as the diet if not more. This is because your body accepts only those things that seem necessary for it and the rest of the nutrients go unutilized. When you exercise and strain your bones, you tell your body that you need a stronger and firmer bone structure and your body hears it. The easiest and the most effective exercises for this purpose are running and dancing. In addition, resistance exercises can prove to be magical in fostering bone health as they tend to put mild strain on the bones. Weight training is another effective way of attaining healthy bone in the selected areas of your body. Some exercises that can be done at home are push-ups pull-ups, abdominal crunches and leg squats.

This is all you need to do for healthy bones. Final advice will be that you consult the doctor before engaging in any die hard tactics for attaining sturdy bones. This will protect you against any damaging mistake and prevent you from adopting harmful ways of getting strong bones.

What Should I Weigh: Complete Explanation

2012-04-07T19:26:00.000+05:30

What should I weigh? What is the ideal weight for a person of my age and height? If these questions trouble you, here is the complete answer with explanation.

Body mass index chart for ideal weight (Source: Wikipedia)

An ideal body weight is what is necessary to keep a person in complete shape and fitness. People of all genders and ages ask these questions to themselves, such as, what should my weight be, how much weight should I loose or gain, what if I am underweight or over weight, how actually can I get in good shape and so on. Before you move any further, you should know that there is no absolute measure of body weight that can be said as ideal. This is due to the difference in body structures, ethnicity and genes. Though body mass index is globally accepted as a standard against which ideal body weight is compared, it is not absolute. Instead, it is the right composition of body mass in different parts of body that matters the most.

What is body mass index (BMI)?

Body mass index can be defined as an individual’s body mass divided by the square of his or her height (Wikipedia). It does not measure the percentage of fat in the body. Rather, it is meant to convey an ideal body weight that an adult should have.

BMI is calculated as follows:

BMI = mass (Kg)/ (height (m))²

Ideal body mass index

Body mass index can be grouped under 4 categories,

Underweight = <18.5

Normal weight = 18.5–24.9

Overweight = 25–29.9

Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

What should I weigh for adults

There is a lot of variation among the ideal weights of adults of different areas of the world owing to ethnicity. Since, the populations of the world have merged to a great extent now, there is no rule of thumb to classify the weight one should have according to his country. However, the below given chart will surely help you find the ideal weight you should have. Slight variations do not matter as long as you have a healthy and fit body.

What should I weigh for children

For children and the infants, finding an ideal body weight is rather tricky because they are growing and do not correspond well to any standard measure. But this becomes a positive point when you realize that the more healthy upbringing is provided to a baby, the more fit and stout figure he or she is going to achieve. The weight of a child can easily be estimated using Leffler formula. This weight can be assumed as the ideal weight of a child.

For a baby of 0 to 1 year,

m = 1/2(a_m) + 4

And for children of 1 to 10 years of age it is,

m = 2a_y + 10

Here, m refers to the expected body weight and a_mand a_yare the age values in month and years respectively.

As said earlier, it should not worry you if your weight varies a bit from the ideal weight and you are doing well on the fitness front. Even if you gain muscles, you should gain it in the right areas of your body. Yes, if you have gathered access fat, you should surely be concerned. For that reason, refer this article, Cant loose weight: What to do. If you are underweight and looking to gain muscles, you will like this one: Ways to gain weight. For best practices, read this one- Loose fat, gain muscles. As of now, you should be assured of what you should weigh. If not, let me know.
