10 Ways to
Keep a Healthy Heart
1. Consuming mixed nuts,
about 25 gms of walnuts and peanuts as they help in bringing down
cholesterol levels and are rich in proteins.
2. Consuming food rich in protein, like fish as Fatty acids found in fish
prevents clot formation.
3. Taking a tablet of 10 mg of statin everyday at night (if over the age of
40 and particularly diabetic).It helps to decrease cholesterol and reduce
risk of heart attack.
4. General health check-ups after the age of 25 years in case of family
history of heart disease.
5. Avoiding extreme weather. In the cold weather blood pressure soars
harming blood vessels thereby inducing heart attacks.
6. Meditation: It has a direct impact on one's blood pressure; there is a
significant reduction in the blood pressure levels and is key to a healthy
heart.
7. Starting the day with a spoon full of honey- It reduces the cholesterol
in the arteries and prevents heart attack
8. Walking on dew bare feet: Walking restores a sense of balance and brings
an inner calm hence it good for the heart.
9. Maintain good oral hygiene: Studies suggest gingivitis may increase the
risk of heart disease and stroke because of the high levels of bacteria
found in infected areas of the mouth.
10. Brisk walking for atleast 30 minutes early in the morning since it
reduces the affects of pollution on the heart, which are more likely during
the evening hours.

Denture Problems
A lot has changed since
George Washington chewed over America's early problems with wooden teeth.
But some things never change--like the problems caused by a new set of
dentures: slipping, sore gums, excess saliva (or not enough of it) and
difficulty chewing or talking.
True, the nations 23 million denture wearers have it a lot easier than their
whittle-toothed forefathers, thanks to advances in denture technology. "But
most people don't realize how long it takes to really get used to a new set
of dentures," says Frank Wiebelt, D.D.S., associate professor and chairman
of the Department of Removable Prosthodontics at the College of Dentistry at
the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City. "For
most people, it takes between four and six weeks."
During that time, a new set of choppers may need a hopperful of early
adjustments, which can lead to plenty of frustrations. But before you let
frustrations get the upper hand and you toss those new dentures across your
neighborhood river, try these problem solvers that the Father of Our Country
never knew.
Steam your vegetables. "You tend to bite your cheek or tongue when you get a
new set of dentures--particularly your first set," says Dr. Wiebelt. To
avoid this, chew slowly. Also, stay away from raw vegetables or anything
else that's crunchy or difficult to chew. "It's funny, because one of the
first things my patients want to eat when they get new dentures is a steak
and a salad, and both are among the most difficult things to eat," he says.
"A steak is very tough. And believe it or not, lettuce is also difficult to
chew. So eat your vegetables, but eat them steamed, and try to avoid
anything that's tough for the first two weeks or so.
Read out loud. New dentures can make talking difficult
for the first week or so. One of the best ways to overcome this problem is
to read out loud, advises Jerry F. Taintor, D.D.S., an endodontist in
Memphis, Tennessee. As you're reading, listen to your pronunciation and your
diction and correct what doesn't sound right.
"Keep in mind that you're probably more aware of any changes in speech than
anyone else is. But any time you speak out loud--whether reading or just
talking to yourself in the car-you help yourself accommodate more quickly,"
says Dr. Wiebelt.
Videotape yourself. A videotape can help you, suggests George A. Murrell,
D.D.S., a prosthodontist in Manhattan Beach, California. A videotape allows
you to see what others see when you're talking. And a dentist can use the
pictures to determine any problems in jaw or lip movements.
Massage your gums. To relieve sore gums associated with new dentures,
massage your gums several times a day, following this routine recommended by
Richard Shepard, D.D.S., a dentist in Durango, Colorado. Place your thumb
and index finger over your gum, with your index finger on the outside.
Massage each section of sore gum by squeezing and rubbing with your thumb
and finger. This will promote circulation and give your gums a healthy
firmness.
Drink a lot of water. New denture wearers often suffer from either dry mouth
or excessive saliva. Either way, frequent sips of water will solve the
problem, says Dr. Wiebelt. "Excessive saliva results because the mouth can't
tell the difference between the dentures and food in the early
going. By sipping water, you wash away the
excessive saliva that can cause a gagging or sick feeling." Sucking on hard
candy also helps dry mouth, but sipping water is better, especially for
people who are overweight, have diabetes or suffer from serious tooth decay.
Don't use adhesives. If you're having trouble with dentures slipping, don't
reach for a denture adhesive. If you continually add denture creams and
powder, a layer builds up between gums and dentures, which can cause the gum
and bone to shrink over time, says Dr. Wiebelt. "The best thing to do is
just wait it out, because slipping problems usually end in a week or so. If
they last longer, there's probably a problem with the fit, and you should
see your dentist." If you must use adhesives, be sure to clean your dentures
and your gums thoroughly each night to remove all the adhesive.

Benefits of Ginger
Did you know the benefits of
Ginger?
Ginger is one of the world's seven most potent disease-fighting spices.
Ginger has been used for its health benefits for over 5000 years and is a
favorite medicinal as well as culinary herb.
Unlike most spices, the part that has the most medicinal value grows under
ground. Often mistakenly called “ginger root” this is actually the rhizome
of the plant which is more of a subterranean stem than a root. Although you
can use dried ginger and powdered ginger for health benefits, fresh ginger
is preferred.
The intake of ginger helps stimulate the secretion of mucus, quieting your
cough and soothing any scratchiness in your throat.
Ginger has been proven (in multiple studies) to treat feelings of nausea,
particularly in the form of seasickness, morning sickness, motion sickness
and as a side effect of chemotherapy.
In pregnancy is to be extra careful!! Never use any herb, including ginger,
without first discussing it with your doctor!! As for those suffering from
ulcer, or other very serious gastric problems, they should also consult
their doctor.
Ginger contains anti viral, anti toxic, and anti fungal properties, and is
used for the prevention of and treatment against the common cold.
Ginger acts as an antihistamine and aids in the treatment of allergies.
Ginger displays anti inflammatory properties and can be used to treat
rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and various other muscular disorders.
The chemical components of the root are instrumental in inhibiting the
biosynthesis of prostaglandins which are responsible for causing
inflammation.
Thus the root has proven to be a highly effective form of treatment, in some
cases, even more so than the NSAID's that are traditionally prescribed.
So eating ginger may help to prevent cancer and aging disorders.
Ginger contains special enzymes responsible for catalyzing the proteins in
your food, thus aiding in digestion and the prevention of cramps.
Good for those with constipation!
The ancient Greeks used to eat ginger after a large meal, in order to ease
the digestion process.
Ginger has proven to help lower your cholesterol levels and prevent the
formation of blood clots.
As a mood enhancer, ginger's cineole content may help contribute to stress
relief.
Also used for migraine headache.Ginger can also be used for reducing
toothache and the discomfort which arises due to the infection in the upper
respiratory tract due to its antibacterial and antifungal nature.
Chewing on fresh ginger,,can help freshen the breath.
Being a warming herb, ginger can help knock out a fever. This property also
makes it effective in stimulating circulation of the blood.
It can also help relax muscles around the blood vessels and is said to help
prevent blood clots from forming. The warming effects make it a natural
decongestant as well as an antihistamine, making it the perfect remedy for
colds.
Some studies show that it can even help inhibit the replication of the
herpes simplex virus.
Recent studies show that ginger might also have a role in lowering LDL
cholesterol because the spice can help reduce the amount of cholesterol that
is absorbed.
It has also been shown in animal trials to help slow or even prevent
cancerous tumor growth.
To discover the health benefits of ginger for yourself, simply make a tea by
steeping about 5 slices of ginger in hot water.
If you prefer it in your food, Ginger is excellent in many dishes and is
perfect when combined with garlic.
Ginger doesn't only spice up your food it can also help to put some extra
spice in your intimate life too. It improves blood flow to your sexual
organs, and contains Vitamin C, zinc and magnesium.
