Dandruff:
Unfortunately there is no cure for dandruff yet.once you get it you may continue to have it, but there are ways that you can control and limit dandruff.
If you have mild dandruff, shampooing your hair with a regular shampoo daily will usually yeild good results. Stronger shampoos can irritate and dry out your hair making flakes more. An anti-dandruff shampoo should improve your dandruff signifigantly in a couple of weeks.

No oil is good and the better of all is olive oil.

Starving is good
Planning a diet, should be a complete balance of proteins, carbs n fiber. First, you got to know the difference between, hungry and feeling hungry. You have to eat when you are hungry and not when you feel you are hungry. You can easily survive for minimum of a day without any food consumption. So, starving your stomach once or twice a month is good.
People feel starving is bad and with the psychological feeling that they will get weak if they don’t eat anything.

By doing a day’s fasting, drinking water the whole day, it washes out every intestine of the body and you will feel much better after that day. This helps you in avoiding lots of stomach, intestine diseases (especially intestine cancer).

Dont Dare drink Sugarcane juice outside
Sugarcane juice is very good for health, if u consume it directly. Not drinking the
juice from outside... You could be the next victim...
One of my friends uncle works in health department. He is a food inspector. Their job is to inspect all hawkers, their cooked food, their store, hygiene, etc. They found sugar cane juice has the highest content of bacteria among all food. They went around all sugar cane stores and watched the way the hawkers handled their sugar cane, wash their glasses, their entire procedure. But they couldn't find the problem.
One day, they stayed till closing time and discovered some shocking facts. Whenever, the hawkers closed their stores, they would wash the floor with detergent. As we know, the remaining sugar canes will be placed at the back of the store, vertically standing and as sugar canes tend to absorb whatever liquid around them. Besides the soapy water, the dirt on hawkers' boots, cats' urine, etc, will all be absorbed.
A known lady in the neighbourhood of a friend, loved sugar cane juice, was pregnant. She was always drinking sugar cane juice. Anyway, one day she miscarried and the foetus was already like 6 or 7 months old, I think. When the doctors did an autopsy to find out why all of sudden the foetus had died inside her, they found traces of some chemical substance, which was found in cat's urine. Large traces of it. While it would not be able to harm adults, it was extremely toxic to babies, foetus. So they tried to determine how this cat's urine thing could have ended up in the foetus.This meant that it had to be digested by the mother. And the only logical conclusion they could come up with was that since these sugar cane juice stall holders just leave the canes lying around on the wet and dirty floor, it would not be impossible to think that straycats could have peed on those sugar canes or near those sugar canes.
So think carefully the next time you order that favorite sugar cane juice.

Tips for avoiding Heart Attacks
Every race is vulnerable to some disease and unfortunately, Indians are three times vulnerable for the most expensive disease, HEART ATTACK. Marriages within close relatives (co-sanguinity) leads to congenital abnormalities.

When you are young, nature protects us against all these irregularities. However, as we grow older, u gotto respect the clock. That is why its recommended to everyone, past the age of 30 to undergo routine health checkups. Heart diseases are hereditary. Nature protects women till the age of 45. So the rate of heart attacks are more in men than in women. Changed lifestyles, smoking, junk food, lack of exercise is the main cause of a steep increase in heart problems amongst youngsters.
Never stress your heart. Change your attitude towards life. Do not look for perfection in everything in life. This could help your heart to de-stress. Regular exercise is always suggested and walking is better than jogging since jogging leads to early fatigue and injury to joints.
Many docters suggest Routine check ups for blood test to ensure sugar and cholesterol are normal and also BP Chk is important. It is possible for a person to have BP outside the normal range of 120/80 and yet be perfectly healthy. Extremely rare people with low blood pressure suffer heart diseases. There is a relation between heart problems and blood sugar. A strong relationship since diabetics are more vulnerable to heart attacks than non-diabetics.
First Aid tips for attacks: Help the person into a sleeping position, put an aspirin tablet under the tongue with a sorbitrate tablet if available. Rush him to a coronary care unit since the maximum casualty takes place within the first hour. A person can help himself during a heart attack. Do not wait for ambulance.

Cholesterol accumulates in the body from childhood. Best n worst food for heart is fruits and oil. People beleive eating fish is good for heart... But its not. Most drugs have some side effects. However, modern anti-hypertensive drugs are extremely safe. Controling diet, walking and eat walnuts control cholestrol without using medicines. Yoga helps in heart ailments.
Sometimes, due to the hectic schedules we are not able to exercise. So, walking while doing daily chores at home or climbing the stairs in the house, work as a substitute for exercise. Avoiding sitting continuously for more than half an hour and even the act of getting out of the chair and going to another chair and sitting helps a lot. You tend to eat junk food when the food habits are irregular and your body's enzyme release for digestion gets confused.

The frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks between 6:00a.m. and noon, with the highest incidence being between 8: 00a.m. and 10:00a.m. What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours?
Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to Death if we get a cut, clump together inside our arteries due to cholesterol buildup in the artery lining. It is in the morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these internal blood clots at the greatest frequency. However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning, does activate platelet that is associated with heart attacks and strokes .

Halo folks...
Many people visiting this blog would have met me or known me sometime, somewhere. This concise is for those who didn't know me till date.

A simple happy go person… Very ambitious, enthusiastic and confident, yet always know my grounds. Always try my best, to be the best company for people around. To explore the rest, meet me and you would know…
That was all on a fun note...
Getting to the deeper side of me... Everyone says, I have good writing skills, but, when I key inn to describe myself, I now realize I am still poor at it. I am pretty simple and a self-ruler with a sponge like nature. I love to enjoy my life each day, and believe in “You live only once, but if you work it right, once is enough”...
I find happiness in simple things; take time to appreciate good things and talented people. I am adventurous and open to new things, not a party animal, but love to hang out with friends, love traveling and visiting new places. Can sacrifice things for causes in which I passionately believe. Very assertive in protecting my freedom.
