WHITE TEA


Finally the terror night is over, the magical city of Mumbai in India is slowly coming to its usual from once again. We salute the Brave Hearts who saved this city , and we mourned deeply for those who lost their lives in this fierce battle may their soul rest in peace.
But we all know that the show must go on, so why not say cheers to life with a cup of tea.
Today I am going to share with you some secrets of white tea.
Like all teas, white tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. The leaves are picked and harvested before the leaves open fully, when the buds are still covered by fine white hair. This gives the tea its name. White tea is scarcer than the other traditional teas, but many tea drinkers prefer white tea over all others.
The leaves are steamed or fried to inactivate oxidation, and then dried. The buds may also be shielded from sunlight during growth to reduce formation of chlorophyll.



White tea is excellent for your health. White tea is full of anti-oxidants that help ensure a healthy lifestyle. There is also much less caffeine in white tea than in other teas. (15mg per serving, compared to 40mg for black tea, and 20mg for green). Studies have also shown that white tea contains more active cancer-fighting antioxidants than even green tea.

A 2004 study at Pace University determined that white tea can help the body's immune system fight off viruses and dangerous infection-causing bacteria. The same study concluded that fluoride-rich white tea helps prevent the growth of dental plaque, the chief cause of tooth decay.
There are many varieties of white tea, with beautiful and descriptive names such as: white Persian melon, white ginger, golden moon, silver needle and white cloud. White teas are produced mainly in China and Japan, but the Darjeeling region of India (noted for its high quality Black Teas) also produces fine white teas.

INGREDIENTS:
White tea             ½ tbsp
Water 1cup
Sugar/ Honey 1/2tsp (optional)


PROCEDURE:
The best way to infuse white tea is to use a high quality tea pot or infuser and then steep white tea in purified water that is below the boiling point. Use of high quality purified, oxygenated water will add to the flavor of the tea. As in this tea only buds are used so you have to add ½ tbsp of tea. Now strain it with a strainer. You can add a little bit of sugar or honey for taste but for health I will suggest to avoid this . If you want to stay healthy you can drink white tea twice daily.

BE HAPPY CELEBRATE LIFE.

LET PRAY FOR PEACE


Once again the financial capital of India become the target of the terrorist. But this time it kept all the people stunned as it may be the first time in the World history that terrorist have planned such an organized terror for such a long hours. The whole world is keeping their eye on Mumbai as it is not only a terror attack on a largest Democratic Country of the World but it is also a open threat to World Peace.

The meticulously orchestrated dance of death in Mumbai has left at least 120 dead and over 350 injured. Sixteen policeman, including three top officers have died in the line of duty.


All the world leader should take serious action to eradicate terrorism from its root ,but we the general people can do no more but can pray to God that He bless us with PEACE.



Let no more innocent have to die such death .
Let all the innocent angels of God whom He sent to this world and gifted life be safe in His Hands.


Take some time to pray for world peace.

I want to end up with this quotes-

 


If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.


-- Lao Tzu (570-490 B.C.)

God bless.

REASON TO CHOOSE ORGANIC FOODS


Cultivation of organic and biodynamic foods are practiced since people first learn to grow their own food.
Organic food comes from land fertilized naturally rather than using any chemical fertilizer.
The more sophisticated form of organic cultivation is biodynamic farming, it use various organic preparation for specific purpose.
Some are used to accelerate the development of live enzymes in the soil, others to attract more etheric nutrients from the atmosphere. Though in modern days chemical fertilization is mostly used to fertilize the soil, to control pest and diseases , to enhance the growth and appearance, and to prolong self life of the produce but there are numerous problem associated with chemical farming.

Good food depend upon healthy soil and soil remain certain plant friendly bacteria stays in the soil like some bacteria in our intestine necessary for proper digestion and assimilation of food. Due to use of chemicals soil become so depleted of enzymes and nutrients, that the result is lack of vitamins and minerals , which is then compensated by injecting chemical injection.
Foods that are chemically stimulated lack organic nutrients develop an abnormal cellular structure with an over abundance of carbohydrates (in the form of starches and cellulose) at the expense of cell-building protein. What is more disturbing is, that your body have to cope with the toxic residue that becomes the part of the food . Gastrointestinal system face problem to eliminate this chemical toxin from your body which over time attack our immune system ,leaving you susceptible to allergies ,diseases and degeneration. So organic food is better option than its chemical counterpart as it is more nutritious and easily digestible.

Give it a thought.

HEALING TOUCH


What ever we eat is Mother nature in the form of food .The fruits that we eat are all mother nature and as mother take care of her newborn so do our mother nature take care of us.
So all the fruits ,vegetables, spices, nuts and herbs have some kind of healing capacity in them that help us to stay healthy. Today I will tell about some healing property of some of very common vegetable and fruits that are always available in our kitchen.

Acidity and heart burn is a very common problem .
Eat a few almonds when your experience heartburn symptoms. Drink a glass of cold milk for quick relief of heartburn and acidity .Acquire one piece of clove and suck on it gradually .Drink fresh mint juice gradually after meals. Eat watermelon, banana or cucumber each hour in acute case.
Dark Circle is a problem that many of us face mainly we those who spent hours in front of the computer, excessive strain cause .Some very near neighbor of your kitchen can help you to get those mesmerized look of early 20’s.
Create a 1:1 mixture of fresh potato and cucumber juices. Soak some cotton and put on your eyelids and stay for 20 minutes and then wash your eyes with cold water. Apply a mixture of lemon and tomato juice (equivalent parts) on the dark circles 2 times a day. Make a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice and apply it for dark circles under the eyes. Apply compressed mint around the eye .Massage with almond oil under and around eyes at bed time daily for 2 weeks and see the development. Almond helps to get rid of dark circles, and is an excellent "skin food". .
Wrinkles – we spend thousand bucks to keep this fine line away from our face and those who can’t afford those costly treatment live a frustrated life full of stress. But simple day to day home remedies can cure this so called huge problem. Watch out-
Empty the contents of 3 Vitamin E tablets into a small bowl. Add to this 2 tablespoonful simple yogurt, 1/2 tsp honey and 1/2 tsp lemon juice. Apply this mixture on the face with the use of a cotton ball. Remain it on for 10 minutes and wash. Softly massage coconut oil on parts of skin prone to wrinkles each night a bedtime. A paste of turmeric made with sugarcane juice is enormous to avoid wrinkles and slow skin ageing.
Cut a green Thompson seedless grape in half and softly press it on your face on the wrinkles. Stay it for 20 minutes and wash with warm water and let it dry in natural air. Massage the core of pineapple on the face and stay it for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off. This works best on wrinkles. Applying juice of green pineapples and apples on the face every day for 10-15 minutes is fine for wrinkles and broken skin. One can apply egg whites to the skin under eyes to reduce wrinkles. Odor-free castor oil can be applied to the skin beneath the eyes or on that of the throat. Application of pure castor oil frequently avoids wrinkles.

Obesity-In obesity, there is an increase in the size and the number of fat cells all through the body. This causes a buildup of overload body fat. One of the places where this excessive body fat can easily be seen is around the waistline. A waist measurement of 40-45 inches or more in men and 35 inches or more in women is linked to an amplified risk for heart disease and other health problems associated with obesity.


Cabbage is considered to be an outstanding home remedy for obesity. Recent research has exposed that a valuable chemical called tartaric acid is present in this vegetable which inhibits the conversion of sugar and other carbohydrates into fat. Hence, it is of great value in weight decrease. Substituting a food with cabbage salad would be the simplest way to stay slim.
One or two ripe tomatoes taken early morning as a substitute for breakfast, for a couple of months, are measured as a safe method of weight reduction. They also supply the food elements essential to conserve health.

Stress is another major problem of our generation. Yes Mother nature is here also with Her love and care to bring us out from stress.
The leaves of holy basil have been found helpful in the treatment of stress. They are observed as an anti-stress agent. Recent studies have shown that the leaves protect adjacent to stress significantly. It has been suggested that even healthy persons should chew twelve leaves of basil two times in a day, morning and evening, for preventing stress.
It has a deep consequence on adrenal glands and the immune system; a sufficient amount of this vitamin, along with vitamin A, can help prevent many of the modifications caused by stress. Potassium deficiencies are linked with breathlessness, fatigue, insomnia, and low blood sugar. Potassium is necessary for healthy heart muscles. Nuts and whole grains are good basis of this mineral. Calcium is a normal tranquilizer. Deficiencies can cause fatigue, nervousness and stress. Dairy products, eggs, almonds, and soya beans are rich basis of this mineral. Magnesium is known as nature's tranquilliser and is associated with the avoidance of heart attacks. It is establish in many fruits, vegetables, seeds, dates, and prunes

Mother nature is always busy to keep us healthy and see us happy. So is it not our duty to return back the favor by preserving and saving the greens in whatever possible way we can. I will place my humble request that if you can’t join any movement for saving greens then at least you can plant some herbs
in your kitchen window, show the world that you are thankful to Mother nature for all Her unconditional love and gift.

WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY HEALTHY LIFE.

ADD A SMILE


Sometimes we don’t pen down our thoughts just because it is our passion but it become our duty to speak on issues that is related directly to the society we are living.
The world refugee problem is one such which remain a burden to all those soul who want to see a better world .
Refugees are individuals who are outside their country of nationality or habitual residence or have a well-founded fear of persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion; and are unable or unwilling to avail themselves of the protection of that country, or to return there, for fear of persecution.
When the Indian subcontinent was partitioned in 1947, millions of people were forced to migrate. Steady streams of refugees left China and East Germany, especially in the 1950s. The Korean War produced some 9 million refugees. Other major refugee-creating events of the 1950s include the Hungarian Revolution (1956) and the uprising in Tibet (1958–59). Sub-Saharan Africa's massive refugee problem is rooted in the continent's colonial past. Before colonization, Africans had moved freely within their own tribal areas. However, the boundaries fixed by 19th-century colonial powers often cut across tribal areas, resulting, particularly after independence, in mass movements of refugees across national borders. By the early 1990s there were close to 7 million refugees in Africa, including 4.5 million displaced Sudanese. The Arab-Israeli War of 1967 expanded an already swollen refugee population in the Middle East (now estimated at 3.2 million). The Vietnam War and Cambodian civil war created large numbers of Southeast Asian refugees; the India-Pakistan War of 1971 produced about 10 million refugees, most repatriated to newly created Bangladesh.
Children and youth constitute approximately 50 percent of all refugees worldwide. They are the deliberate targets of abuse, and easy prey to military recruitment and abduction. They typically miss out on years of education, particularly the younger ones. More than 43 million children living in conflict-affected areas don’t have a chance to go to school.
Can you imagine spending your childhood in a refugee camp? With no parents, no school to go to, how would you cope? It is the story of thousands of children from Eritrea who grow up in the Shimelba refugee camp. The camp is home to 14,000 refugees who have fled persecution in Eritrea. It is situated near the border between Eritrea and Ethiopia-an area that has witnessed extensive fighting over the years. A startling 70 percent of the refugees here are children, with 500 new refugees flooding the camp every month.
Make some time to look at them.
This are all fact that I gather from various sources but we sitting in comfort of our home can never imagine the pain, the trauma the struggle one faces leaving there mother land. Mainly the innocent kids who don’t even know the meaning of conflict have to go through inhuman situation and live a life which is worst than death.
We all know we cannot change the mind of the warmongers and may be we cannot bring good life to all those who are suffering but if we all try soulfully may be we can bring smile to many such faces those are waiting for our helping hands like- Refugee United who are trying to reunite the refugees irrespective of there color, race or religion.




My blog catalog friend Content connection in her blog post her favourite song-
If the heart is always searching
Can you find a home

This line touched me and I think all those who leaves there native land due to some reason or the other have face this pain, if we are unable to do anything we can give our moral support and heart felt prayer to all those organization who are working selflessly for the welfare of the refugees and wish that God bless those homeless a better future full of sunshine.

It is common that whenever we think of health we think about the physical part but some very important world remain unexplored in our own body.

Life never run smooth it has its own twist and turns and some twist are difficult than the other .But still we are in a no option zone and we have to walk down those lanes with a heavy heart and tears in our soul. Life presented me some very odd situation when it seems that may be everything will end and I can’t move anymore but a list of mental well being tips that was given to me by one of my High School psychology teacher helped me lot to fight back the situation.
I want to share those with all my loving friends –
Let start with a poem-
Life is not a name of a river
flowing down from hills and lost
in the midst of hurts and wounds
life means lot more
…………




To find something more and live a life full of happiness below are few tips for mental peace.

1.Have a hobby: acquire pursuit which absorb your interest .
Sports and nature are the best.

2. Develop a philosophy, adopt your self to social and spiritual surroundings.

3.Share your thoughts, cultivate championship in thought and in feeling.
Confide ,confess, consult.

4. Face your fears analyze them; daylight dismisses ghosts.

5.Balance fantasy with fact ; dream but also do; wish but build ;imagine, but ever face reality.

6.Be aware of alluring escapes; alcohols, opiates and barbitals may prove faithless friends.

7.Exercise;walk swim, golf; muscles need activity.

8.Love but love wisely.

9.Don’t get engulfed in whirlpool of worries call early for help. The doctor is ready for your rescue.

Believe me this tips have help me a lot in my life .Mainly the second tip- spirituality helped me to understand the divine power and how His untold help is nurturing our life, how His love is showered and taking us to the path of happiness and abundance.
This my own experience that when you give you get so try to give in whatever way you can .When you show your love and care Universe and Almighty shower peace and love in your own heart, try out this age-old tip. Also make a point not to hurt and harm any body for any reason. People to establish there false ego and power bring difficulties in others life and get momentary pleasure but they loose their mental peace forever and start living in a loveless world of eternal grief and sorrow. Never forget that God the fountain of love have His eye on every creature of this world.




So if you take care of this little things your peace and happiness is warranted by Universe and Almighty.

THE MAGIC OF COLORS

In our everyday life we come across various colors. But do we have any idea that how color affect the energy centers of the body.
