Is 3D tv harmful for health ?

Scientists  and researchers say Avoid 3D TV as it can disorient the brain, causing eye strain, headaches, nausea and sickness, scientists warn.

3D TV can be harmful

When buying a 3 DTV , Viewers will have a choice between two types of 3D TVs - active and passive - which show the 3D images in different ways.
An active TV normally will cost less that a passive 3d tv, but will require special 'shutter' glasses. The basic idea is that the TV displays the  3D programme  or movie in a series of rapidly alternating frames - left eye, right eye, left eye, right eye - changing at such a speed that the viewer cannot even detect it is happening. The shutter glasses, which cost 20 to 40 USD a pair and are powered by a small battery, block out one eye or the other on alternate frames at the same high speed, synchronizing with the image being displayed on TV via a wireless connection to the set. The brain is thus fooled into creating a 3D image in the mind's eye.

3D Tv warnings for health

The  3d tv passive technology relies on a special polarising filter on the TV set to split the image into its left eye - right eye components. The split picture is then watched using a simple pair of polarising glasses - similar to the ones handed out in modern 3D cinemas - to create the 3D image.

The closer the viewer is to the screen, the worse it feels, making 3D TVs more problematic than cinema screens. Researchers at Eindhoven University in the Netherlands asked 39 people who could see 3D to read some text on a screen 10 feet away. Seven of the group suffered symptoms that can lead to nausea, including double vision and eye.

Are mobile phones bad for babies ?

Are mobile phones bad for babies ?

Scientists in America  reported that foetuses regularly exposed to mobile phones in the womb had a 30 per cent greater chance of behavioural difficulties at the age of seven. The findings, published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, were based on a study of 28,000 seven-year-olds and their mothers, who were part of the Danish National Birth Cohort study.

The study enrolled 100,000 pregnant women between 1996 and 2002 and monitored their behaviour and their children's health over eight years.

The  report sugests  that  pregnant  women who regularly use mobile phones may be more likely to have children with behavioural problems, particularly if their children start using mobile phones in their first seven years. The researchers from the University of Southern California said the results showed an obvious association between mobile phone exposure and abnormal behaviour in children.

The Australian Centre for Radio Frequency Bioeffects Research,  said the data was not strong enough to indicate a link between mobile phone exposure and behavioural problems.

Bra made up of Nasa space technology

Bra made up of Nasa space technology

There is no limits to technology today , as we can see from the new Nasa technology used in “Womens BRA”.  A new technologically advanced  BRA has been launched using  NASA technology.

Technologically improved womes BRA

"For example, if you're exercising and  the BRA detects a rise in body temperature, it can expand to offer more support when you need it."

"It can boost the cleavage when it detects a rise in body temperature," Dr Nielsen said.

The bra, according to Dr Nielsen, can also adapt to a woman's changing shape and size, meaning you're less likely to have to shop for another bra down the line.

The NEW NASA inspired BRA

NASA developed its intelligent memory foam in the '60s to make its aircraft seating safer and more comfortable. The "smart" foam, which has the unique quality of retaining or remembering its shape after pressure is applied, is the key ingredient in a new kind of bra being distributed in Australia. "A derivation of the foam is used in the memory foam mattresses. It's also used in the safety lining of racing car helmets, and so I realised it could have a lot of practical uses, and this softening and expansion could have a lot of benefits."

Home remedies for the seasonal Australian Cold and Flu – part 1

Millions  of “Australians  suffer  the cold and flu” when the colder months of June july and august  come very year. it is around this time that the chemists  and pharmaceuticals companies for cold and flu medicine make a killing.

Luckily for some  who are willing to try some natural medicines  and deny these capitalist  medicine mongers some of their revenue, i am providing a alternative natural  solution.

Simple home remedies  for cold and flu

All you need is Patience , eucalyptus oil and hot water and a towel and a inclination to believe or try natural remedies. As you know eucalyptus is  known for its medicinal values  and it definitely helps remedy cold and flu and  unclog all that gunk and stuff you have in your  nasal system

What you need to do ?

Eucalyptus oil  and Hot water

Heat a couple ( 3 to 4 ) of glasses of water  and place it  in a wide bowl on  the kitchen table  which should be off appropriate height ( normally). Drop  2 drops of the eucalyptus oil in  the water , place a towel over your head  and bring you head down( as close as you can to the bowl without getting burnt with the steam) , so that the  large towel encloses the bowl  and the area aorund it , while it is over your head  and not letting any  air in or out ( maybe a small gap will do )

Now start taking deep breaths ( you will get the hot steam air with eucalyptus flavor going up your nose),  you can alternate the intensity of the deep breaths  as per the heat affecting you  you can also  add one or 2 more drops ( after  a 5 minute session ) if you feel the eucalyptus oil  steam  has become a bit weaker in the water.

Inhalation with Eucalyptus oil  and Hot water

Do this at least 2 times   a day  for 2  to 3 days and you will be soon on your road to recovery  in 2 days or the next couple of days.

Do  consult your GP  if you have cold and flu as this is only a alternative natural home remedy and may not work  for all or in all situations.

Does your meat have sulphur Dioxide ??

Does your meat have sulphur Dioxide ??

Yes !! it probably does !!

Banned chemicals in meats

Dodgy Butchers and small supermarkets often  have been  indulging in this malpractice to make their meats  sell , by putting sulphur dioxide in their meats for it to look more red and fresh and entice their customers  to buy the meat.

What is sulphur dioxide?

Sulphur dioxide is a chemical used as a preservative in some foods.The use of sulphur dioxide is strictly controlled by the Food Standards Code as some people might have serious allergic reaction when it is used in foods where they do not expect to encounter it.

Sulphur dioxide as a preservative in meats

Suprisingly  , sulphur dioxide has been approved to be used in certain meat products like  sausages , salami , and meat patties as these meats have tradionally been treated with sulphur dioxide  to stay looking fresh longer. There are prohibitions though on how much you can use on these products , you can use less than 500mg/kg of the finished product.

Butchers are putting sulphur dioxide in the meat — a tasteless preservative found in dried food, sausages and wine. It is used to mask meat that may be going off, by making it appear redder. "They'll use it to enhance the colour — get the red out, the pink colour, to make it look more attractive”. If you're sensitive to sulphur dioxide, it could be an asthma reaction, could be eczema, irritable bowel, headaches and behavioural issues in children

Last week in nsw Australia  a few butchers were caught up in a raid doing this dodgy practices to sell their meat . check the list of these butchers --- >  Dodgy butchers fined using a banned chemical

Why onions are bad for you !!

Why onions are bad for you !!

I got this information  from a  chain email  regarding onions and bacteria( thanks vinita) saying Please pass on the information. so i am passing the info on to you. well in regards to the veracity of this story its up to you to find out more , but some of the stuff  written down here does make sense.

Check out this article “ Why onions are bad for you !!”

I have used an onion which has been left in the fridge, and sometimes I don't use a whole one at one time, so save the other half for later. Now with this info, I have changed my mind....will buy smaller onions in the future.
I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of mayonnaise. Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family. My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO.

LEFT OVER uncooked ONIONS IS POISONOUS

Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.
The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed. He's one of the brothers Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce formula.  He's even developed sauce formula for McDonald's. Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you.  Ed said that all commercially-made Mayo is completely safe.
"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment.. He then talked about the quaint essential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

He explained, onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.

Dangerous Contamination and Onions

It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!)
Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.'

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions .Please remember it is dangerous to cut onions and try to use it to cook the next day ,it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates Toxic bacteria which may cause Adverse Stomach infections because of excess Bile secretions and even Food poisoning.

well this does sound like scare mongering .. but yeah  any vegetable  or meat can be dangerous if not handles hygienically and properly

Dr. Mao's Honey-Glazed Masala Chicken with Apricots

Masala chicken is a popular Indian dish. People not used to the spiciness of masala may find it a little strong. Adding apricots gives it a mild sweet-and-sour taste, balancing the spiciness of the masala.

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 medium onions, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 inch piece of peeled fresh ginger, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 tsp masala spice (ground cumin, cinnamon, clove, bay leaf, peppercorn, coriander, cardamom)
• 2 tbsp tomato puree
• 1 tsp fine sea salt
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 10 dried apricots
• 2 tbsp honey
• Parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Cut chicken into 2-inch pieces. Heat oil over medium heat in a deep skillet. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened.
2. Stir in garlic, ginger and masala. Add chicken and stir-fry until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
3. Add tomato puree, salt and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
4. Add vinegar and apricots to skillet, cover and simmer 15 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle honey over top and garnish with parsley, if desired.

I hope you incorporate apricots into your diet as your own anti-aging secret weapon. I invite you to visit often and share your own personal health and longevity tips with me.

May you live long, live strong, and live happy!

Shine and Glow like a Apricot

Shine and Glow like a Apricot

Researchers are saying that apricot is the wonder drug for women

The apricot is a stone fruit and has a nut within it.  It is a good source of vitamin, ie, B complex, riboflavin, niacin as well as vitamin C.  The nut of the fruit is rich in protein and fat and is considered as valuable as any other nut.  It contains 40 to 45 percent of an oil which is practically identical with almond oil in its physical as well as chemical properties. 

Benefits of Apricot Oil Beauty Products:

• It is best suited for dry and sensitive skin.
• Softens your skin and gives it a natural glow.
•  
  • It is used along with other ingredients to make lotions, creams, balms and other cosmetic products.
  • In Chinese medicine, apricot oil is used for treatment of tumor.

Apricots: the Secret Anti-Aging Weapon

Research shows that of any food, apricots possess the highest levels and widest variety of carotenoids. Carotenoids are antioxidants that help prevent heart disease, reduce "bad cholesterol" levels, and protect against cancer. In traditional Chinese medicine, apricots are considered helpful in regenerating body fluids, detoxifying, and quenching thirst.

Apricot Kernel oil is a popular choice amongst massage oils. In Aromatherapy, it is used in the form of carrier oil in combination with one of the essential oils. It is also extensively used in the making of varied kinds of cosmetic products. It is suitable for all types of skin. It also aids in slowing down the aging process. It is of great use in treating inflamed skin. Being an emollient, it provides complete relaxation to the body and mind.

The kernels also have several healthy properties, including toning the respiratory system and alleviating a cough. However, be cautioned that the tip of the apricot holds a concentrated amount of the chemical laetrile, which can be upsetting to the system. To safely reap the benefits of apricot kernels, remove the tips of the seeds and do not eat more than five a day.

Apricot Oil

Apricot oil, extracted from the kernels of Apricot is a colorless oil and has a nutty odor. It is the most preferred oil as it has the ability to penetrate deep into the skin without giving your skin an oily look. It soothes as well as moisturizes the skin. This oil is well suited for all skin types.

Apricot Oil Ingredients:

It is rich in essential fatty acids, which are linoleic acid (20% to 34 %), oleic acid (58 % to 74%) and palmitic acid (4 % to 7 percent). It is also high in content as far as Vitamin E and Vitamin A is concerned.

Apricot kernel carrier oil is of great value for giving a face massage. The oil is extracted from Apricot, the botanical name of which is Prunus armeniaca. It is easily absorbed by the skin and the best part is that it doesn't lend any kind of oily feel to the skin. Rich in poly-unsaturated fatty acids, its application works wonders in nourishing the skin. It is usually colorless, but, at times, has a tinge of yellow

The fruit is highly valued as a gentle laxative and it has been widely used as a sedative and antispasmodic.

Apricot health and beauty properties

Apricot Kernel oil provides numerous health benefits for which it is preferred. It prevents the body from being dehydrated. It is especially useful for sensitive skin. It is also quite beneficial in soothing the body parts victimized by boils and burns.

Texture wise, the oil is very fine and contains high content of oleic acid and linoleic acid. Apricot Kernel oil is known for its moisturizing and revitalizing properties. It is owing to this reason that it is increasingly finding its way in facial massages.

QUICKEST WAY TO STOP DIARRHEA

QUICKEST WAY TO STOP DIARRHEA

Recently i got this email and i want to share it

Home Remedy for Diarrhea

As some of you know Mr.Mithu recently suffered for 12 days with diarrhea and no medication seemed to be working.Then his cousin sent me this simple remedy and it worked almost immediately. Please read thru for know-how... and pass on to people who would value it...

How to cure diarrhea the simple home remedy way  

When someone gets diarrhea, sometimes the solution is so easy, we wonder why anyone has to suffer.
Of all the ingredients here, the most potent is Rice, but not in the usual form we eat it in, and neither would rice porridge work too well.

The secret is in rice water.

My mother knew about it. When Dr Albert Winsemius came to Singapore for a farewell and thank you dinner in his honor, he brought along his wife Aly and his granddaughter, Jolijn. Both women came down with very bad gastroenteritis. They saw the doctor who gave them medication. It was slow to work. Mother boiled some rice in lots of water and went to their hotel with two 1.5L bottles of rice water.  I cringed in shame at the offer of this folk remedy, which seemed so primitive to me. To my surprise, it worked, and they were even able to go out for dinner the next day. Both were exclaiming how the rice water did the trick of making them well again. Well, lucky it worked, I thought to myself.

I was discussing this some years back with Kim Ng, the ex-matron of KK Hospital. She said, yes, that is what Professor Wong Hock Boon, the notable pediatrician teaches. I was shocked and made some comment how could he? It was common knowledge so what had he to do with it?
Many months later, I regretted laughing at it.  Dr Christina Shanta Emmanuel, who is the CEO of...uh, which group I have forgotten, either National Health Group, or Polyclinics, or whatever.. regarded me seriously when I brought up the topic like it was good fun. She said that Prof Wong Hock Boon had presented a paper on it at some conference after he had done clinical trials. 
Then his results were published in the Lancet, the Medical Journal all doctors read. In fact, said Shanta, he was credited for saving the lives of 2 million African babies by this simple method.
I am impressed.

Rice water cures Diarrhea

It is rice water and not rice, that does the trick. I have found it effective again and again.
THE EXACT RECIPE
You take a handful of rice and boil it in a large saucepan with lots of water. Like three or four large glasses. Then you cool that and drink the water. If you are in a hurry to relieve the ailing person, take the saucepan off the fire and dunk it in a frying pan or basin of cool water with ice cubes if necessary. This gives the patient a chance to drink the rice water sooner and cure himself or herself sooner.

When drinking the rice water, make sure there is lots of it. You have to tell the patient that enough water must go in to line your guts from throat to other end, all 10 to 12 meters of it.  If you take rice, it stays in the stomach. If you take broth, some of it may go into the small intestine. But if you take rice water, it will carry rice grains to every inch of your small and large intestine to the end where the problem is.

Recipe for CAULIFLOWER  mix MEDLEY

A zip-top plastic bag works great for marinating because once the air is squeezed out of the bag, the marinade coats the food and no stirring is required. You may use a large bowl instead, but remember to stir frequently so the food gets evenly marinated.

1 cups fresh cauliflower, broken into florets
1/2 cup fat-free Italian dressing
2 Tbsp. Sliced ripe olives
2 Tbsp. Capers
1/4 tsp. Cracked pepper
1 4oz jar diced pimiento, drained

Steam the cauliflower, covered, for 10 minutes or until crisp-tender. (Don't let it get mushy. I usually rinse the hot cauliflower in cold water to stop it cooking.) Place cauliflower, dressing olives, capers, pepper, and pimiento into a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal and shake gently to coat the cauliflower with the dressing mixture. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 8 hours. Serve cauliflower with a slotted spoon.
8 servings, 0 POINTS each
My thoughts: This is tangy and pretty and would be a great take-it dish for a picnic.
