Cleanse Your Digestive System The Easy Way By Eating Kitchari

Need help with your digestive health?

With many years of trial and error to its credit, Ayurveda has demonstrated that simple combination to effectively detoxify the body. Since Ayurveda suggests specific diets for individual doshas — mind-body constitutional types — eating Ayurvedically inevitably translates to limited food choices, making it unpopular for those wanting access to the full range of culinary options. Kitchari, however, is safe for everyone to eat because it is tridoshic, meaning it is fine for all three doshas. Health benefits aside, kitchari can be appreciated for its taste alone. The fragrant herbs that Indian cooking is so known for impart flavor while the ghee adds richness. As with soup, vegetables can be added to the mix as long as they’re dosha-compatible, making kitchari a versatile dish that’s open to improvisation. Whether looking to clean your digestive system out after years of abuse or just looking for a new tasty dish to liven up your meal rotation, cook up some kitchari for a complete food that will fill you up without weighing you down.

Similarly, a gut in distress can cause stress and mental depression. Nearly every brain-controlling chemical is generated in the gut, including hormones and neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, GABA and nor epinephrine. The gut is home to 100 million neurons – more than what the spinal cord has. It also contains 24 minor brain proteins, major cells that regulate immune function, one of the body’s in-built opiates, and native bensodizipine. Recently there has been one more addition to the nervous system: The gut, also known as the enteric nervous system. It is ensconced inside sheaths of tissue found in the lining of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon.

Genetic Variants Linked With Blood Pressure Discovered

Experts estimate genetic make-up accounts for roughly 40-50 percent of individuals’ susceptibility to hypertension. Other factors associated with the disease include lifestyle, diet, and obesity. Compared to Americans of European-ancestry, African-Americans’ increased hypertension prevalence contributes to a greater risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, and end-stage renal disease.

Blood Pressure Monitors: Medical Device Market

, a leading global source of critical information and insight. Global revenue for blood pressure monitors is set to reach $854.9 million by year-end, up a modest 2% from $838.8 million in 2012. Revenue expansion will hold firm at the 2% to 3% range for the next three years, before bounding to a 5% increase by 2017. By then, industry takings will amount to $963.2 million, as shown in the attached figure. The majority of revenue will stem from automatic upper-arm monitors, which is the preferred type of blood pressure monitor. One important reason for the consistent rise in revenue over the years is that the worldwide population of those aged 65 and above will continue to grow over time, making up an increasingly larger percentage, says Roeen Roashan, analyst for consumer medical devices and digital health. As a result, health monitoring will increase, which will drive market growth for blood pressure monitors.

There are numerous causes, including genetics. Talk to your doctor about possible treatments. Physical Trauma: A Shock To Hair Follicles When your body is under serious physical stress, the natural cycle of hair growth and resting can be disrupted, resulting in hair loss, often in the form of thinning hair strands may come out in clumps. Any shock to the system, such as being in a severe accident, undergoing surgery, experiencing burns, or becoming very ill, can also shock the hair follicles, resulting in up to 75 percent of your hair falling out, sometimes months after the fact.

Kristen Stewart displays noticeable hair loss due to ‘stress following split from Robert Pattinson’

Stress related: Kristen Stewart displayed noticeable hair loss in Berlin, Germany, last month Thinning locks: It is believed that Kristen’s hair loss stems from the stress she has been under following her split from Robert Pattinson earlier this year That’s better: Kristen’s hair looked fine from the other side, as she wears it swept over In fact, the hair loss is so severe that Kristen’s friends are said to be getting increasingly concerned about her fragile state of mind. Time for a change: A hair expert said Kristen needs to reduce the amount of stress in her life A source told Now magazine: ‘Kristen’s circle are so concerned about her that two of her friends have flown to Germany to see her. ‘They want to take her to a de-stressing yoga retreat on the outskirts of Berlin. ‘They’ve also begged Rob to visit her on set. They fear the stress is getting worse because she’s been trying to make contact with him and he’s ignoring all of her calls.’ It was reported recently that Kristen has been trying to arrange a reunion with her Twilight ex Robert, from whom she split earlier this year after their relationship failed to get past her infidelity with married film director Rupert Sanders. But Robert is said to be unwilling to give Kristen another chance, having decided once and for all that their romance is over. Kristen has been in Berlin shooting her new movie Sils Maria in Germany, alongside co-star Juliette Binoche. Hiding the evidence: Kristen was later seen wearing her brunette hair tied up into a bun According to reports, Kristen has been using hair extensions in a bid to conceal the hair loss while shooting the movie.

Health Scan: Women should be calmed before C-sections to avoid drop in blood pressure

That may trigger more intensive treatment of elevated blood pressure,” says cardiologist Dr. Deepak Bhatt, a professor at Harvard Medical School. In other words, if you stay on top of it, you’ll do a better job of treating it. An editorial accompanying the report said that the study “demonstrates how to improve blood pressure control by making hypertension management more like modern banking: accessible, easy, and convenient.” The need for home monitoring The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 1 in 3 adults in the United States has high blood pressure, and half of them don’t have it under control. High blood pressure increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of death in the United States.

Anxiety, she concluded, results from lack of information and expectation that the experience would be a negative one. Among the ways to calm women down, in addition to explaining the procedure, are music, meditation and positive thinking. Going into such surgery with a feeling of safety and a calm atmosphere can minimize the need for additional medications, said Orbach. SMOKING & CHILD ABUSE LINK FOUND Searchers have long suspected some kind of link between childhood abuse and smoking. But in an interesting twist, a new study from the University of Washington finds a connection not between whether or not an abused child will ever begin smoking, but to how much they smoke once they start.
