6 absolute reasons why you should soak up the sun

The air is laden with the smell of winters. Winters are finally here with their chill. The image of cosying up in bed in a blanket with a hot cup of coffee is what this season brings. But aren't you forgetting the best thing about winters? The blissful sunshine? Yes! All that we want in winters is to just lazily relax in the sun without a care in the world and fight the winter blues. So don't cocoon yourself in that snug blanket but go out and soak up all that wonderful sunshine for a little while.

That said, one should be careful about the duration of time we expose ourselves to the sun. The sun's rays feel pleasant but long exposure to sun causes most of the wrinkles,age spots and skin cancer. So one should be careful about safe sun exposure.

Small amounts of sun exposure offers many health benefits so everyone should aim to spend at least 15 minutes in the sun every day. Here are some reasons why you should:

Your body needs the sunshine vitamin:

We need vitamin D to absorb calcium and phosphorus from our diet which in turn are important for healthy bones.Vitamin D also protects against muscle weakness, is necessary for thyroid function and is involved in the regulation of the heartbeat. Our body creates most of our vitamin D from direct sunlight on our skin. Various research have shown promising associations between our vitamin D consumption and decreased risks of developing a variety of conditions including autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammation, certain cancers and diabetes.So it is essential that we have enough of this sunshine vitamin.

Boosts your immunity

Vitamin D is crucial in activating our immune defences as it triggers and arms the body's T cells, the cells in the body that seek out and destroy any invading bacteria and viruses.

Brightens up your mood:

It has been found out that 1 in 6 people develop SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) who live in cold or rainy climates. For some, winters can be a depressing time. The right amount of sunshine is the perfect remedy for it as it effectively recharges you. Spending a little time outside can help increase the levels of serotonin and create extra endorphins in your body. Sunlight exposure can affect your emotional well-being and help you ward off depression and stress. So make sure you take a little walk in the sun whenever you can because sunlight is the most abundant and easiest to absorb anti-depressant you will ever find.

Reduces risk of serious diseases:

Many studies have revealed the links between vitamin D and its association with protection against colon, kidney, and breast cancer. Vitamin D has also been associated with improvement in the conditions like diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorder, obesity, infertility, PMS etc. Sunlight also improves liver function in your body and assists the breaking down of body waste thus effective in curing jaundice. Effective sunbathing can help prevent more than 25 chronic diseases and help save lives.

Aids in minimizing pain: 

Soaking up the sun can reduce the risk of rheumatoid arthritis. It has been found that women regularly exposed to sunlight reduced their risk of developing the condition by a fifth. Sun exposure can lower pain levels and assist in natural healing. Also moderate exposure to sunlight can help make the recovery process after a surgery less painful.

Helps you sleep better:

If you are battling insomnia, it's a good idea to step out in the sun. Exposure to natural light during the day can assist you to sleep better at night. Sunlight shuts off the body’s production of melatonin, a hormone produced at night that makes you feel drowsy.

All said, it should be noted again that like everything else, sunlight should be enjoyed in moderation to reap the benefits of the essential sunshine vitamin. So step out and enjoy the advantages of this free commodity!

Natural wonders – Yoghurt (curd)

Produced by bacterial fermentation of the milk, yoghurt makes for a healthy and easy addition to your daily diet. This dairy product is a good source of protein, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, vitamins, zinc and potassium. Added to that, the good bacteria present in yogurt, makes it even better.

Yoghurt has additional benefits when compared to its source – milk. It is more safe for those with lactose intolerance, the active cultures in yogurts are easier to digest, and thereby are less likely to cause lactose problems. (However, some people might experience lactose intolerance symptoms even when they consume yoghurt).

Health benefits of yoghurt

There a host of indispensable benefits associated with yoghurt, they are:

• Good for the stomach: Yoghurt is known to have a soothing effect on the stomach, which is why eating yoghurt is one of the most common gharelu nuskha (home remedy).  The good bacteria found in yoghurt are extremely beneficial to our digestive system, especially the colon and the stomach. An effective way to digest spicy food is to consume some yoghurt along with it. Cow’s milk contains low fat and is the preferred choice for preparing yoghurt.
• Boosts immunity: The nutrients in yoghurt helps strengthen our body’s defence mechanism, thereby proving more protection against seasonal cold, cough and such.
• Good for your skin: Regular consumption of yoghurt hydrates the skin and improves skin texture and complexion. In fact, applying yoghurt on the face or mixing it in a facepack will help reduce blemishes and strengthen the collagen in the skin.
• For a healthy heart: Yoghurt lowers blood pressure. It helps lower bad cholesterol and reduces risk of heart attacks.
• A super-healthy source of proteins: Yoghurt is a wonderful source of natural proteins and thus extremely beneficial for vegetarians. It is also safer for those with lactose intolerance to eat yoghurt.
• For healthy bones and teeth: Being rich in calcium, it protects the bones against osteoporosis and arthritis. It promotes bone growth and strengthens the teeth. So, start consuming one cup of yoghurt daily.
• Increases life span: Bulgarians are known for their longevity, this is attributed to yoghurt consumption. So it can be said that yoghurt is responsible for their longevity.
• Discourages vaginal infections: Diabetic women are more prone to yeast infections. A study trial that included diabetic women found that, on consumption of yoghurt, the women did not develop yeast infections.
• Aids weight loss: Yoghurt is known to make one feel fuller and therefore helps in cutting down calorie intake in the next meal. In fact, some studies also suggest that yoghurt helps in burning fat. So if you’re trying to lose weight, you know what you should do!
• Protection against colon cancer: Regular consumption of yoghurt cleans the colon, flushing out harmful disease causing bacteria. This helps in prevention of colon cancer.

Insulin may boost breast milk supply

Scientists have found that the hormone insulin may play an important role in breast milk production, a finding that can help explain why many mothers have difficulty making enough milk to breastfeed.

Researchers  found insulin to be responsible for lactation success.

The study is the first to describe how the human mammary gland becomes highly sensitive to insulin during lactation. It is also the first study to get an accurate picture of how specific genes are switched on in the human mammary gland during lactation.

The researchers used next generation sequencing technology, RNA sequencing, to reveal "in exquisite detail" the blueprint for making milk in the human mammary gland, according to  author of the study.

For a long time, insulin was not thought to play a direct role in regulating the milk-making cells of the human breast, because insulin is not needed for these cells to take in sugars, such as glucose.

Scientists now, however, appreciate that insulin does more than facilitate uptake of sugars. This new study shows a dramatic switching on of the insulin receptor and its downstream signals during the breast's transition to a bio-factory that manufactures massive amounts of proteins, fats and carbohydrates for nourishing the newborn baby.

Researchers were able to use a non-invasive method to capture mammary gland RNA - a chain of

molecules that are blueprints for making specified proteins - in samples of human breast milk. They then created the first publicly accessible library of genes expressed in the mammary gland based on RNA-sequencing technology.

This approach revealed a highly sensitive portrait of the genes being expressed in human milk-making cells. They discovered an orchestrated switching on and off of various genes as the mammary gland transitions from secreting small amounts of immunity-boosting colostrum in the first days after giving birth to the copious production of milk in mature lactation.

In particular, the PTPRF gene, which is known to suppress intracellular signals that are usually triggered by insulin binding to its receptor on the cell surface, may serve as a bio-marker linking insulin resistance with insufficient milk supply.

Now that they've demonstrated the significance of insulin signalling in the human mammary gland, scientists are planning a phase I/II clinical trial with a drug used to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes to determine whether it improves insulin action in the mammary gland, thus improving milk supply.

IMPORTANCE OF VITAMIN- A

There are two types of vitamin A: retinol and carotenoids, like beta-carotene. Beta-

carotene is a carotenoid found in many orange and yellow foods -- like sweet potatoes, 

carrots, and winter squash -- as well as spinach and broccoli. Vitamin A is key in 

supporting good vision, healthy immunity, and tissue growth.

Great Detoxifier- beetroot, carrot, apple, lime juice !

RIPE BANANA WITH DARK SPOTS, HAS ANTI-CANCER PROPERTIES

Yellow Bananas With Dark Patches have anti-cancer properties

When we were young, we were told told that bananas with dark patches (chitri wala or some such name) were the preferred variety. Guess science is only discovering now what grandma knew a hundred years ago. THE BANANAS with dark patches on yellow skin - Anti Deadly Cancer     BANANASwith dark patches on yellow skin    The fully ripe banana produces a substance called TNF which has the ability to combat abnormal cells. So don't be surprised very soon the shop will go out of stock for bananas.  As the banana ripens, it develops dark spots or patches on the skin. The more dark patches it has, the higher will be its' immunity enhancement quality . Hence the Japanese love bananas for a good reason. According to a Japanese scientific research, banana contains TNF which has anti-cancer properties. The degree of anti-cancer effect corresponds to the degree of ripeness of the fruit, i.e., the riper the banana, the better the anti-cancer quality.  In an animal experiment carried out by a professor in Tokyo U comparing the various health benefits of different fruits, using banana, grape, apple, water melon, pineapple, pear and persimmon, it was found that banana gave the best results. It increased the number of white blood cells, enhanced the immunity of the body and produced anti-cancer substance TNF.  The recommendation is to eat 1 to 2 banana a day to increase your body immunity to diseases like cold, flu and others.  According to the Japanese professor, yellow skin bananas with dark spots on it are 8 times more effective in enhancing the property of white blood cells than the green skin version.
