1. United Kingdom

The U.K. crown jewels top the list of the most famous set of royal jewels in the world. The Crown Jewels of U.K. are one of the most stunning sets in the world. It also is a whopping over $39 million in worth.

What makes this particular set of such great value is its 105-carat Koh-i-Noor diamond in the Crown of The Queen Mother. The Koh-i-Noor belonged to our country but was taken away from us during the Imperial rule.

2. Austria

Austria is known for its democracy and high standard of living. It is the motherland of various scientists and philosophers, like – Sigmund Freud and Peter Drucker and our very own Terminator.

The Crown Jewels of Austria are just as famous as its people. The entire set consists of the following - royal robes, holy relics, crosses, rings, swords, orbs, scepters and the crown. These were worn first by the Holy Roman Emperor and the Austrian Emperor. These date back to the 10^th century and are kept at the Imperial Treasury Schatzkammer. The Wittelsbach Diamond or Der Blue Wittessbatcher is a 36 carat diamond and is about $16.4 million in worth, making the Crown Jewels of Austria very valuable.

3. Bavaria

Bavaria, now Germany, is the second most populous state of Germany and also one of the oldest parts in Europe.

Napoleon had granted the German duchy of Bavaria its status of kingdom in 1806, when he had re-ordered the map of Europe. This is when Maximilian I, the new King of Bavaria, had given orders to have the crown jewels made for the new rulers. This famous crown is adorned with – pearls, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds and rubies. The crown is currently housed in the treasury of the palace of Residenz, Munich. The Wittelsbach Diamond or Der Blue Wittessbatcher also adorns the crown jewels of Bavaria, making it equally valuable, around $17 million.

4. Czech Republic

Czech Republic, formerly called Bohemia, is the proud member of various international forums, like – NATO, European Union, the Council of Europe and so on.

The crown jewels of Czech Republic comprise the following - St. Wenceslas' sword, gold reliquary cross, coronation vestments of the Bohemian kings, scepter, a royal orb and the Crown of Saint Wenceslas.

The Crown Jewels of Denmark or the Danish Crown Regalia consist of - an ampulla, or flask, sword of state, orb and scepter. The crown jewels of Denmark consist of 3 crowns. People of Denmark use technical terms, like - new regalia and old regalia to distinguish between the gems that existed before and after the creation of absolute monarchy in the year 1660. The oldest item in the royal set is the sword, dating back to 1551.

6. Georgia

Like the Czech Republic, Georgia is the member of the Council of Europe.

The most interesting fact about the crown jewels of Kartl-Kakheti, a manjor part of Georgia, is that there is no concrete information about it before 1798, although it is speculated that a crown did exist before that. It is said that the ancient crown was lost in 1795 when Shah Agha Mohammed Khan of Persia invaded the kingdom. George XII of Georgia had a replacement crown made in 1798, in Russia. The design deviated from traditional Georgian one. It is made of gold and adorned with 16 amethysts, 24 emeralds, 58 rubies and 145 diamonds. A globe also sits atop the crown.

Portugal is known for a high Human Development Index. It also has a good quality of life and health-care system.

The Crown Jewels of Portugal are also called the Portuguese Royal Crown. There is only one such crown left of the Portuguese Royal family. An interesting fact about this crown is that from 1640 to 1910, it was not worn by the royalty but kept beside them. King John IV had kept his crown near the base of an image of ‘Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception’ by quoting that she was "the real Queen of Portugal.” The crown is made only of gold and red velvet, made in an imperial format for the acclamation of King John VI. It is currently housed in the Ajuda Palace, Lisbon.

9. Prussia

Prussia is perhaps best known for being called the ‘Lesser Germany’ during the 19^th century and how it influenced Germany immensely during that time.

The Crown Jewels of Prussia belonged to the crown kings of Prussia, belonging to the Hohenzollern dynasty. The set comprises – scepters, an orb and crowns. As it is not as adorned with precious stones, it is often called “rather plain” by its contemporaries, like – Russia and Britain. The older Crown Jewels of Prussia were often called the German Crown Jewels and included - royal Crown of Frederick I, royal Crown of Queen Sophie Charlotte, Royal Sceptre of Prussia and Royal Orb of Prussia. The set is currently on display in the Charlottenburg Palace, Berlin.

10. Serbia

The most famous Serbian worth mentioning is Nikola Tesla, the developer of modern Alternating Current (AC) electrical supply system.

Sleep debt = slow death

Do you often lose sleep over work thinking you’ll make up for it the next day? You may be among the rising population of people winding up with sleep disorders. The lack of a good night’s sleep, though, poses much bigger risks to your body — and your mind,

Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care/ The death of each day’s life, sore labour’s bath/ Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,/ Chief nourisher in life’s feast. — Macbeth, Willam Shakespeare Ashok Chhabria lives by the credo ‘work is worship’. The 46-year-old corporate consultant had little time for anything else till last year. His job, which entails a lot of research, necessitates at least 15 days of travel every month. But besides that, there is very little movement. Chhabria had always been overweight and in the last five to six years, he had developed high blood pressure. In 2011, however, Chhabria began experiencing some rapid physical changes. He suddenly began to pile on weight, very quickly. His thighs swelled up, he had difficulty walking and would often run out of breath while doing so. He was also unable to fall asleep at night. “Initially, I thought it had something to do with my weight and blood pressure. I finally decided to consult a doctor and after running some tests, he told me that I had an enlarged heart that was being caused by a sleep disorder,” he says. Health takes a beating Chhabria’s complications may have been caused by an extreme case of sleep disorder, but you cannot afford to brush them aside. In a society that values productivity more than rest, sleep has become a dirty word. ‘I’ll sleep when I’m dead’ seems to be every model urban citizen’s motto. But more and more studies from across the world are reaching a rather scary conclusion: if you don’t sleep enough, you may well be hastening the process of health impairment, thereby inviting an untimely death. Take, for example, the study conducted on the health of sleep-deprived people by the Seoul National University College of Medicine this year. “Adolescents with behaviourally induced insufficient sleep syndrome had higher suicide ideation (thoughts of suicide) scores than those who slept for seven or more hours on weekdays,” it concludes. Another study conducted by the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in the US states that sleep apnea — a common disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep - is associated with probable major depression in a national sample of adults. Closer home, there have been a couple of recent reports which shed light on sleep disorders rampant in urban India and their consequences. A recent survey by The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) showed that 78% of corporate employees in India sleep for less than six hours a day. Needless to say, they suffer from numerous sleep disorders. Mumbai, according to the survey, is the second most afflicted city — right after Delhi. In Mumbai, Dr Pramod Sanghi, a senior consultant at the Asian Heart Institute, conducted a study on the circadian pattern of mice. He managed to genetically engineer the mice to not have the clock gene (which regulates and puts in to effect the 24-hour sleep cycle of most mammals). The erratic sleep pattern that followed resulted in increased heart rates and blood pressure in the mice. Through further tests and measurements, Dr Sanghi managed to determine that the mice with erratic sleep patterns faced a 48% higher risk of a heart attack than those with normal sleep. Extrapolating the findings to humans, he concluded that those of us who do not get seven to nine hours of sleep every day run the same increased risk of a heart attack. “Lack of sleep or even irregular interrupted sleep, which happens when you have obstructive sleep apnea, causes the body to produce a high level of adrenaline. This extra adrenaline in the blood causes the heart to enlarge, impairing its squeezing function. If left untreated, it can cause a heart attack,” warns Dr Sanghi. Diagnosing the problem But, how does one safely conclude that he/she is suffering from a sleep disorder? That’s where a sleep clinic helps. Chhabria went to one such clinic, where he was asked to wear an oxygen mask while sleeping. “I was hesitant at first. I couldn’t believe that the lack of sleep could cause heart problems,” he says. Thankfully, Chhabria listened to his doctors and tried out the oxygen mask therapy. After a few months, Chhabria confesses, he felt like a new man. “I had grown irritable and depressed with my condition. It was a nightmare for me. When my sleeping pattern finally became regular, it was such a relief. I wouldn’t get breathless any more. In the mornings I was full of energy. I was back to my old self again,” he gushes. Dr Srikant Kondapaneni, a New York-based sleep scientist, explains how a sleep clinic helps diagnose disorders. “The way to diagnose is by performing a sleep study, which entails a person coming into an outpatient sleep lab at night (usually around 9pm), sleeping there and leaving around 6-7am the next day.” At his clinic, Dr Kondapaneni says, a patient is fitted with EEG monitoring equipment, which allows the doctors to read the brainwaves so that they can see exactly when he/she fall asleep, what stages of sleep he/she is in and how frequently he/she wakes up. A patient is also fitted with some equipment on the chest and nose so that doctors can monitor every single breath during the night. By monitoring brainwaves and the breathing pattern, doctors can conclude if a patient faces any instance of sleep apnea. Mind games A fitful sleep pattern may also cause psychological harm. Sleep-related mental distress, in fact, can be far more insidious because it’s not something that can be easily diagnosed. “Lack of proper sleep patterns can lead to depression, anxiety and other psychological problems. Modern lifestyle trends among the urban youth, which include enormous amounts of visual stimuli provided by TV, video games, computers and smart phones, often late into the night, leaves their brain in an excited condition and unable to sleep. This is causing a variety of mental problems and is exacerbating existing problems,” says Dr Kersi Chavda, consultant psychiatrist at the PD Hinduja Hospital. Siddhart Chander is too familiar with the psychological implications. A 28-year-old advertising executive, Chander was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder five years ago. “Just before I was diagnosed, for about a month-and-a-half, I didn’t sleep very much. I used to go without sleep for three days at a stretch, and on other days, I probably only slept for a couple of hours. This lack of sleep proved to be the first symptom of my bi-polarity,” he recalls. “When I would lie awake at night, my mind would begin to morph. It would start going on a rapid upswing. I would feel like an extrovert, expansive, invincible. I would stop believing that the rules of society applied to me. I have picked up the phone at 3am and called people without any consideration,” says Chander. Even though his bi-polarity was not caused by a sleep disorder, it aggravated the situation.”To date, my psychiatrist keeps a very close tab on how much I sleep. He has told me in no uncertain terms that sleeping for less than seven hours a day could very well cause me to go manic.” Robert Frost, the erstwhile US Poet Laureate, once wrote, “The woods are lovely, dark and deep/ But I have promises to keep/ And miles to go before I sleep/ And miles to go before I sleep.” In the battle of the contradictory sentiments expressed by these two literary giants, experts would prefer if you heeded Shakespeare’s words more than Frost’s.

My Spiritual High

Sangram Singh Wrestling champion Spirituality to me is one of the most important facets of my life. Spirituality is the path which enables us to gain access to the deeper and the hidden part of our being, which is our soul. I feel the best way to be truly spiritual is through religion. I strongly believe in the superior power that is God and God’s will matters in our everyday life. When I have struggled I have believed in Him, when I have won for the country I have thanked Him and that is what I will keep doing. If you strive and work towards it, I believe nothing comes in between you and success, and God makes sure of that. I am very religious in my beliefs and especially after the hardships that I have faced in my life I have realised that it is religion that has been the most effective tool in helping me achieve spirituality and my goals in life. I believe that being in touch with our spiritual side means that we get access to the inner reserves of positive strength, which is crucial when you are going through the low points in your life. We must practice spirituality, no matter what the situation is, to attain a depth, which will enable us to lead our lives in a more fulfilling way. It is a way of looking inward and discovering the Universe outside. God is always there for me. I am a strong believer of whatever happens, happens for good. I believe that God has written a plan for each one of us and the best thing to do is follow it with an open heart and an open mind. I also believe that in today’s age, it has become imperative that we are spiritual. We are so far removed from the real world, creating artificial environments and interacting with them, that we are getting shallower every day. If all of us attempt to involve in spirituality in one way or the other, there is no doubt that it would be a more beautiful world.

Pranayamas

Pranayamas

Yogi Ashwini

Modern science believes oxygen is life and is an indispensable energy. Our Rishis have proved that it is not the breath but prana that is responsible for life in the body. Our health and vitality, emotional and financial states, joys and maladies, diseases and glowing health are all dependent on the frequency of prana that vibrates in and around us. The complete system of our pranic body of the chakras, nadis and koshas is dependent on the prana that we are receiving from the environment around us. Pranayama is a salutation to this prana. It is said by the great rishis that the human body can survive without food for months, without water for weeks, without air for hours, but not even for a nanosecond without the vital prana. But to be able to retain the prana, the nadis and chakra in the pranamaya kosha should be clean and pure without blockages and the prana should move freely. Only then can the vital prana be held. Disease manifests in the human body as soon as there is congestion or depletion of prana in the pranamaya kosha. Physical body (annmaya kosh) is a reflection of the pranamaya kosha. Therefore, to ensure health in the physical body, balance needs to be achieved in pranamaya first. Pranayamas are techniques to effect changes in the pranamaya kosha so that their outcome translates to the annamaya or physical body. There are various pranayamas given which deal with imbalances and they clean the aura before they set in the physical body. Pranayama is just one the eight limbs of Sanatan Kriya (Ashtang Yog). It is important to do the Ashtang Yog (yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyan and samadhi) in its totality under the guidance of your Guru. Doing pranayama in an unsupervised manner either by copying from TV or reading from somewhere can cause long-term irreparable damages in the body. Therefore, the importance of learning from an accomplished yoga teacher cannot be undermined. Pranayama should not be viewed as a process to increase the intake of oxygen, as more of it does not necessarily result in good health. Pranayamas optimally improve the efficiency of the body and the ageing process is slowed down as a result there of. Yogi Ashwini is the author of Sanatan Kriya — The Ageless Dimension.

Home Remedies for HALITOSIS (Bad Breath)

HALITOSIS (Bad Breath)

The problem of halitosis, or bad breath, has plagued humankind for centuries. To conquer bad breath, the ancient Greeks reputedly used home remedies like rinsing with white wine, anise seed, and myrrh, while the Italians mixed up a mouthwash of sage, cinnamon, juniper seeds, root of cypress, and rosemary leaves, according to the Academy of General Dentistry . 

Today, of course, Americans still worry that their breath smells bad (and swish capful after capful of mouthwashes that often contain little more than alcohol and flavoring to fix it). Indeed, New York Times health columnist Jane E. Brody has written that she receives more questions about bad breath than about any other common medical problem. Fortunately, this article contains all the information you need to know about bad breath, from where it starts to home remedies that will help keep your mouth smelling fresh. Let's begin with a closer look at the problem.

Maybe one explanation for this preoccupation with oral odor is the simple fact that you can't really tell whether you've got bad breath. This is a time when you have to depend on the honesty and kindness of friends to let you know if your breath smells bad. If you're on your way to that important meeting and you simply must know if your breath will precede you through the door, try breathing into a handkerchief or running floss between your teeth and taking a sniff.

Fixing bad breath depends on what's causing it. In 80 to 90 percent of cases, it's due to something in the mouth. Most often, bad breath is the result of nothing more serious than a dirty mouth. Plaque, the nearly invisible film of bacteria that's constantly forming in your mouth, is often responsible. Another possible source of stink can be decaying food that's trapped between teeth.

Persistent bad breath may be due to a treatable dental problem, such as an undiagnosed cavity or periodontal (gum) disease. Sometimes a broken filling can trap food particles. If you visit the dentist and no such problem is found, however, you may want to investigate further and talk to your physician about other possible causes. Occasionally, ongoing bad breath is due to something in the respiratory tract (such as a sinus or lung infection) or gastrointestinal tract or to a systemic (body-wide) condition. Diabetes, for example, can give the breath an unpleasant chemical smell.

Of course, what you eat can contribute to bad breath, too. The strong odors of foods like garlic, onions, and alcohol are carried through the bloodstream and exhaled by the lungs. Another big loser when it comes to turning your breath sour, and harming your health, is tobacco.

No matter how hard you try to clean your teeth and watch your diet, we all have an epidsode of bad breath occasionally. Move on to the next section for home remedies to keep your breath at its best. 

Home Remedy Treatments for Bad Breath

Figuring out the cause of bad breath is the first step, obviously, in doing something about it, but here are some home remedies to keep your breath as fresh as possible.

Mouthwash Myths Madison Avenue has played to our fears of bad breath in advertising claims for mouthwashes. But do they really work? Yes, but only for a short time. Dental researchers agree that commercial mouthwashes mask odors only temporarily (anywhere from about 20 minutes to about 2 hours). These products don't prevent bad breath, either. While they may be able to kill bacteria that contribute to bad breath, a new batch of bacteria crops up fairly quickly. If you do decide to use a mouthwash, choose a product with fluoride for its cavity fighting potential or one that is accepted by the American Dental Association for removing plaque.

Keep your mouth clean. Brush thoroughly at least twice a day, and floss daily. Food and bacteria trapped between teeth and at the gum line can be removed only with floss; if it's left to linger, it's not going to smell nice. Periodontal disease can result in chronically bad breath.

Clean your tongue, too.
Bacteria left on your tongue can contribute to less-than-fresh breath, so be sure to brush your tongue after you've polished your pearly whites.

Ditch your dentures. If you wear dentures, never wear them to sleep. Give them a thorough cleaning and leave them out until morning.

Wet your whistle. A dry mouth can equal smelly breath. Saliva helps clean your mouth; it has a natural antibacterial action and it washes away food particles. (Reduced saliva flow at night explains why your breath smells sour when you wake up in the morning.) Try sucking on sugarless mints to stimulate saliva production.

Don't stress out. Stress can dry out your mouth, causing bad breath.

Avoid potent foods. Garlic and onions, among other foods, contain sulfur compounds that move on to the lungs after they 
are absorbed in the bloodstream. Certain fish, such as anchovies, and seaweed are high in "fishy" amine odors. Unfortunately, during the move the chemicals that make these foods so tasty and pungent stick around.And they don't smell so great as you whisper sweet nothings into your sweetheart's ear. 

Natural Home Remedies for Bad Breath

Treating bad breath can be as simple as raiding your kitchen for odor-eliminating items. Read on to learn more.

Home Remedies From the Cupboard

Baking soda. Baking soda is a great way to clean your teeth and get fresh breath. For fresher breath, sprinkle some baking soda into your palm, dip a damp toothbrush into the baking soda, and brush.

Water. Water is essential for fresher breath. Swish water around your mouth for at least 20 seconds to loosen food particles and clean your mouth. Water may even work as well as mouthwash in removing trapped food particles and keeping your breath fresh.

Fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables, such as carrots and celery, fight plaque and keep your breath smelling nice.

Cheese. Cheese also fights plaque and mouth odor. Opt for a bit of low-fat cheese for a snack.

Aromatic spices. Chewing on the seeds of aromatic spices such as clove, cardamom, or fennel after meals is a common practice in South Asia and the  Middle East . The seeds of these spices contain antimicrobial properties that can help halt bad breath.

Bad breath may be a problem as old as time. But it doesn't have to ruin your time, as long as you follow some home remedies before or after your night on the town.

Home Remedies for IBS (Irritable Bowel System)

IBS (Irritable Bowel System)

 

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder characterized most commonly by cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. A great deal of discomfort and distress is observed because of irritable bowel syndrome. However, it will not cause a permanent harm to the intestines, and does not lead to any serious problems like cancer does. Most people are able to control their symptoms with the help of diet, stress management, and prescribed medications. For numerous people, it becomes difficult to stay at social events for longer periods of time, or to work continuously, or to travel to large distances.

 

Irritable bowel syndrome is associated with symptoms like bloating (accumulation of gas), increased abdominal pain, discomfort, problems in passing stools, constipation etc. Some people may even have infrequent bowel movements. Often, many people have complained to the doctors that they are not able to pass out stools or are able to pass very small amount of stools. Some have reported that they pass some mucus-like fluid along with stool. In many cases, persons suffering from irritable bowel syndrome often get diarrhea and pass out watery stools. There is always an emergency for such persons who are not able to

control their bowel movements.

 

The exact cause for irritable bowel syndrome is not yet known, however doctors have to say that people who are suffering from it have more sensitive colons. Their colons are very sensitive to particular foodstuffs, which often cause diarrhea. They are also sensitive to stress.

 

Irritable bowel syndrome is commonly observed in women and the number of affected women is more as compared to men. The disease becomes more severe in females during their menstrual periods. The disease is common within the age of 35 years or lesser than that. Almost 20% of the population suffers with this disease and most among them are adults.

 

Home Remedies for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome can be corrected by using certain remedies at the household level. The following are some easy home remedies for irritable bowel syndrome that can be used to get relief from the symptoms of this syndrome and to seek complete treatment from it:-

 

All kinds of mint oils are very good for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. Peppermint oil capsules available in the market can be safely taken as per the dosage mentioned on their covers. You can also use peppermint oil in the following manner. Take about two to three drops of peppermint oil and put it in about a quarter cup of warm water. Drink this solution four times in a day. This remedy provides an immediate relief from irritable bowel syndrome. This is one of the useful home remedies for irritable bowel syndrome.

 

Be careful of the diet for irritable bowel syndrome you eat when you have irritable bowel syndrome. Do not eat foods that cause heat in the body, as they can aggravate your condition further. Instead, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those which have a high content of soluble fiber in it. Fibers help in movement of bowel and in proper elimination of the fecal matter from them.

 

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a very beneficial herb in curing all kinds of digestive maladies. The curative properties of this herb have been well-known to ancient Asian medicine, and in recent times, the western world has conducted several encouraging experiments of the effects of ginger on the human digestive system. When you have irritable bowel syndrome problems, consume ginger in any form; it really helps. Drink ginger tea or eat raw ginger. This will prevent and reduce the case of inflammation if it happens while passing stools. However, though ginger is an excellent remedy, it must be avoided by pregnant women. Even people who have conditions like gallstones, or those who are taking some kind of

medication for heart conditions or for diabetes must avoid the use of ginger. This is one of the important home remedy for irritable bowel syndrome.

 

Another excellent traditionally Indian remedy for the treatment of all digestive problems is the Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis), known as amalaki in the local language. Amalaki is a very rich source of vitamin C. If you eat amalaki regularly, you will be protected from irritable bowel syndrome. Even if you consume amalaki when you suffer from the disease, you will see great positive benefits. Amalaki helps in preventing indigestion and yperacidity also.

 

Flax seeds help in cleaning out your stomach and correcting whatever digestive impairment has occurred. When you have irritable bowel syndrome, it is advisable to eat some flax seed everyday. This is another simplest irritable bowel syndrome remedy.

 

Drink lots of water. You must consume about 8-10 glasses daily. This is an excellent therapy when there are digestive problems like the irritable bowel syndrome. Consumption of adequate amount of water also helps to maintain the normal color of urine and also helps people who are suffering from constipation. Water helps the digestive fibers to perform their functions effectively. This is an effective irritable bowel syndrome cure.

 

Triphala choorna is one of the best Ayurvedic medicines in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. Triphala is a mixture of three very important herbal powders – amalaki (Indian gooseberry), bibhitaki (Beleric Myrobalan) and haritaki (Chebulic Myrobalan). It has been traditionally proved that this Ayurvedic preparation is excellent in causing proper digestion to occur. Triphala capsules are available at any Ayurvedic outlet. If you have two capsules of this preparation spread out in a day, then you will gradually find relief. Triphala is a slow but permanently acting medicine. You will have to allow it time before it can show its positive effects. This is one of the best irritable bowel syndrome treatment.

 

Asafetida is a good remedy for some symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. If there is a constricted feeling in the throat, or a feeling as if some food particle is stuck in the stomach, then regular consumption of asafetida will help in the control and treatment of the symptoms. This is one of the best natural remedy for irritable bowel syndrome.

 

In most people, chamomile tea taken once a day could be beneficial for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. However, before using this remedy, it is necessary to check if one is allergic to chamomile. Effective irritable bowel syndrome treatment is to use some caraway seeds in the diet when there are symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. However, the use of

this should be curtailed during pregnancy and for children who are under two years old.

 

One very simple remedy to do when you have irritable bowel syndrome (and one which can never go wrong) is to perform exercise. Irritable bowel syndrome generally happens in people who lead sedentary lifestyles; and if you start some activity, then you do get relief. Try walking for about half an hour when you have this condition. You will see that the syndrome starts healing up sooner than you imagine. This is a good natural remedy for irritable bowel syndrome.

 

Get Rid of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome is a digestive disorder, so obviously to prevent it you must follow some specific dietary guidelines. By following a healthy eating pattern, you can be free from irritable bowel syndrome forever. The following are some tips and pointers for dietary regimes you must follow.

 

(i) Eat foods that suit your own body system. Everybody has some foods which they are allergic to; these foods must be eliminated from the diet. Parents should not force their children to eat foods that apparently do not suit their body systems, even if the foods are considered to be very healthy. For example, some people are allergic to soy, even though it is one of the richest protein sources in the world. Such people should avoid soy despite its nutritional value.

 

(ii) Always include a healthy amount of fibers in your diet. Include legumes such as peas, lentils beans etc which are a rich source of fiber.

 

(iii) Instead of taking large meals twice a day, take smaller meals more times throughout the day and drink plenty of water. Eat foodstuffs which are rich in carbohydrates say rice, pasta, wheat, etc.

 

(iv) Do not dump your body with different kinds of foods one on top of the other. It is always ideal to wait for at least three hours to allow one meal to get completely digested before you eat another meal. Do not eat a meal unless the previous one is completely digested.

 

(v) Some foods cause gas. The effect of gassy foods differs from person to person. If you have identified a food that causes you gas, then you must avoid consumption of that food henceforth.

 

(vi) Try as much as possible to keep a fixed timetable for eating and then adhere to it. Do not confuse your body's digestive system by eating at widely fluctuating times each day. A confused digestive system cannot work well, and can cause irritable bowel syndrome.

 

(vii) When eating, chew your food well, so that it gets masticated properly. This is important because most starchy foods are digested in the mouth itself due to salivary action.

 

(viii) Eating in cool and relaxed surroundings also helps. This has a psychological effect on the person; but it does help in digestion.

 

(ix) Avoid oily and spicy foods. These are difficult to digest. Even foods containing caffeine must be avoided as they can meddle with the normal digestive functioning of the body. Artificial sweeteners must also be avoided.

 

(x) Aerated drinks can cause bloating and formation of gas within the stomach. If you have a sensitive digestive system, then you would do better to avoid such foods.

 

(xi) Alcohol is also to be avoided completely if you have a weak digestive system.

 

(xii) If you are used to taking milk, try consuming it in the daytime. This is contrary to what most people believe, but there is a reason behind it. Milk taken in the daytime has better scope of digestion than if taken in the nighttime.

 

(xiii) Do not retire to bed immediately after dinner. Give yourself at least two hours of physical activity before going to bed. Moreover, it is very important to exercise regularly and keep your body fit. A physically healthy body is more capable of digesting foods. Also stay away from stress-causing conditions. Stress is an important causative factor of several

digestive problems, including the irritable bowel syndrome.

Home Remedies for NON ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE

NON ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE

Definition

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a term used to describe the accumulation of fat in the liver of people who drink little or no alcohol.

 

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is common and, for most people, causes no signs and symptoms and no complications. But in some people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the fat that accumulates can cause inflammation and scarring in the liver. This more serious form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is sometimes called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. At its most severe, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can progress to liver failure.

Symptoms

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease usually causes no signs and symptoms. When it does, they may include:

• Fatigue
• Pain in the upper right abdomen
• Weight loss

 

When to see a doctor 
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have persistent signs and symptoms that cause you concern.

Causes

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease occurs when your liver has trouble breaking down fats, causing fat to build up in your liver tissue. Doctors aren't sure what causes this. The wide range of diseases and conditions linked to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is so diverse that it's difficult to pinpoint any one cause.

 

Types of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease 

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can take several forms — from harmless to life-threatening. Forms include:

 

Nonalcoholic fatty liver. It's not normal for fat to build up in your liver, but it won't necessarily hurt you. In its simplest form, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can cause excess liver fat, but no complications. This condition is thought to be very common.

 

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. In a small number of people with fatty liver, the fat causes inflammation in the liver. This can impair the liver's ability to function and lead to complications.

 

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease-associated cirrhosis. Liver inflammation leads to scarring of the liver tissue. With time, scarring can become so severe that the liver no longer functions adequately (liver failure).

 

Risk factors

A wide range of diseases and conditions can increase your risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, including:

 

• Certain medications
• Gastric bypass surgery
• High cholesterol
• High levels of triglycerides in the blood
• Malnutrition
• Metabolic syndrome
• Obesity
• Rapid weight loss
• Toxins and chemicals, such as pesticides
• Type 2 diabetes
• Wilson's disease

 

Preparing for your appointment

 

Start by making an appointment with your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have signs and symptoms that worry you. If your doctor suspects you may have a liver problem, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in the liver (hepatologist).

 

Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.

 

What you can do

Be aware of any pre-appointment restrictions. At the time you make the appointment, be sure to ask if there's anything you need to do in advance, such as restrict your diet.

• Write down any symptoms you're experiencing, including any that may seem unrelated to the reason for which you scheduled the appointment.
  
•  Write down key personal information, including any major stresses or recent life changes.
•  Make a list of all medications, as well as any vitamins or supplements, that you're taking.
•  Take any relevant medical records, such as records of any tests you've had that relate to your current condition.
•  Take a family member or friend along. Sometimes it can be difficult to absorb all the information provided during an appointment. Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you missed or forgot.

 Write down questions to ask your doctor.

Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important, in case time runs out. For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, some basic questions to ask include:

 

• What is causing fat to build up in my liver?
  
•  Is the fat in my liver hurting my health?
•  Will my fatty liver disease progress to a more serious form?
•  What are my treatment options?
•  Will losing weight or changing my diet reduce the amount of fat in my liver?
•  What can I do to keep my liver healthy?
•  I have these other health conditions. How can I best manage them together?
•  Should I see a specialist? What will that cost, and will my insurance cover it?
•  Are there any brochures or other printed material that I can take with me? What websites do you recommend?
•  What will determine whether I should plan for a follow-up visit?
• In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
  

 

What to expect from your doctor 
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow more time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:

Have you experienced any symptoms, such as yellowing of the eyes or skin, abdominal pain or swelling, or swelling in your legs? What were the results of tests done at that time?

Do you drink alcohol?

What medications do you take, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements?

  

Tests and diagnosis

Tests and procedures used to diagnose nonalcoholic fatty liver disease include:

 

• Blood tests. Liver function tests, including tests of liver enzymes, may help your doctor make a diagnosis.  
• Imaging procedures. Imaging procedures used to diagnose fatty liver disease include ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
• Liver tissue testing. If it's suspected that you have a more serious form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, your doctor may recommend a procedure to remove a sample of tissue from your liver (liver biopsy). The tissue sample is examined in a laboratory to look for signs of inflammation and scarring. Liver biopsy is typically done using a long needle inserted through your skin and into your liver to remove liver cells (needle biopsy).

 

Treatments and drugs

No standard treatment for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease exists. Instead, doctors typically work to treat the risk factors that contribute to your liver disease. For instance, if you're obese, your doctor can help you to lose weigh through diet, exercise and, in some cases, medications and surgery. If a drug is causing your fatty liver disease, your doctor may try to switch you to a different medication. 

 

Lifestyle and home remedies

Along with your doctor's help, you can take steps to control your nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. You can:

 

Lose weight. If you're overweight or obese, reduce the number of calories you eat each day and increase your physical activity in order to lose weight. Aim to lose 1 or 2 pounds a week. If you've tried to lose weight in the past and have been unsuccessful, ask your doctor for help.

 

Choose a healthy diet. Eat a healthy diet that's rich in fruits and vegetables. Reduce the amount of saturated fat in your diet and instead select healthy unsaturated fats, such as those found in fish, olive oil and nuts. Include whole grains in your diet, such as whole-wheat breads and brown rice.

 

Exercise and be more active. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. Incorporate more activity in your day. For instance, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk instead of taking short trips in your car. If you're trying to lose weight, you might find that more exercise is helpful. But if you don't already exercise regularly, get your doctor's OK first and start slowly.

 

Control your diabetes. Follow your doctor's instructions to stay in control of your diabetes. Take your medications as directed and closely monitor your blood sugar.

 

Lower your cholesterol. A healthy plant-based diet, exercise and medications can help keep your cholesterol and your triglycerides at healthy levels.

 

Protect your liver. Avoid things that will put extra stress on your liver. For instance, don't drink alcohol. Follow the instructions on all medications and over-the-counter drugs.

  

Alternative medicine

No alternative medicine treatments have been found to be helpful in treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

 

Vitamins for liver protection 
Researchers have studied vitamin supplements for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, but results have been disappointing. In theory, vitamins called antioxidants could help protect the liver by reducing or neutralizing the damage caused by inflammation. But studies of vitamin supplements haven't supported this.

 

The safest way to increase the antioxidants you get is to eat more fruits and vegetables. If you're interested in vitamin supplements, though, talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks. Large doses of vitamin supplements could interfere with medications or cause other complications. 

 

Prevention

To reduce your risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, try to:

Choose a healthy diet. Choose a healthy plant-based diet that's rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats.

Maintain a healthy weight. If you are overweight or obese, reduce the number of calories you eat each day and get more exercise. If you have a healthy weight, work to maintain it by choosing a healthy diet and exercising.

 

Use chemicals carefully. Follow the directions on household chemicals. If you work with chemicals, follow the safety measures required by your employer.
