Air Pollution can kill your Heart !

A new study is trying to make an effort to study the impact of air you breathe on your heart.

The doctors have drawn substantial links between heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases, to what we breathe besides our eating habits.

Places experiencing heavy traffic are now considered a much stronger cause of health problems, and what your lungs can handle, your heart may not.

The doctors feel that the lungs are able to handle more pressure than the heart. So polluted air causes mire threat to your heart than to your lungs.

Breathe fresh air to avoid any possibility of an heart attack.

We must invest in Mother's Health

I wish all my readers a Very Happy Mother's Day. It is our duty to respect and love our mother, who has given this wonderful opportunity to us to enjoy the moments of life.

A report by the NGO ranks India as the highest in the world in terms of shortfall of health workers. The report calls for investment in female health-care workers to address the shortfall needed to save the lives of mothers, newborn babies and kids.

More care should be taken regarding the health status of women and mothers.

Eat Almonds - Stay Fit

Fortunately, the delicately flavored and versatile almond is available throughout the year to make a healthy and tasty addition to both sweet and savory dishes. Although packaged almonds are available year round, they are the freshest in mid-summer, which is when they are at the height of their season.

Eating a handful of almonds a day as part of a healthful lifestyle may lower "bad" cholesterol levels and help reduce risk of heart disease. One of the studies presented is a first-of-a-kind analysis of several existing almond studies. The analysis of the body of studies as a whole showed resounding results of almonds’ ability to lower total and LDL or "bad" cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. The study consistently showed that people who eat roughly one handful of almonds (1 ounce) a day may significantly reduce total and LDL cholesterol.

Almonds are packed with protein and help to prevent diseases such as gallstones, type 1 diabetes, colon cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, cholesterol and aid weight loss. They are a good source of manganese, copper and vitamin B2 which help to fight against the health damaging free radicals and increase oxygen-based energy production which promotes the antioxidant molecule, glutathione.
