Sauna - Refresh body, Mind & Soul

In my recent cruise trip to Stockholm (c the gallery here), I found this "Sauna Club". Just did my homework on it, and I was really happy about this sauna...
From Wikipedia:

A sauna (pronounced /ˈsɔːnə/, or as Finnish [ˈsɑunɑ]) is a small room or house designed as a place to experience dry or wet heat sessions, or an establishment with one or more of these and auxiliary facilities. These facilities derive from the Finnish sauna. The word sauna is also used metaphorically to describe an unusually hot or humid environment.

After an hour of having a refreshing session at Sauna, this made me dig in for more information. The advantages/benefits that Sauna brings you are mind blowing. Please follow up to read the full of its benefits...

There was a saying, "You are what you eat!"

Healthy Nuts and Seeds

NUTS and SEEDS:

Almonds:
Classified as a nut, almonds are actually the seed of the fruit of an almond tree. They offer a delicate and mild flavor to dishes and can be added to vegetables, meats, fruits and desserts.

Eating twelve almonds per day can provide you with the recommended daily allowance of essential fatty acids. Almonds are rich in potassium and are considered a "good" fat. These fruit seeds are high in calories, so limit your intake to no more than twelve per day. Unblanched almonds are considered to be the healthiest choice. Avoid dry roasted almonds or almonds covered in sugar, honey or salt.

Brazil nuts:
Brazil nuts contain all the essential amino acids, making them a complete protein. Brazil nuts contain exceptionally high levels of selenium; a powerful antioxidant that can help reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.

Brazil nuts are an excellent source of zinc, which is essential to digestion and metabolism. Brazil nuts contain a high level of fat and should not be consumed more than three times per week. One serving equals eight nuts and is equivalent to 30 grams of fat.

Chestnuts:
These nuts pack a wallop of beneficial carbohydrates, making them an excellent choice for people trying to gain weight. Chestnuts are cholesterol-free, low in sodium, and a good source of dietary fiber.
Additionally, chestnuts contain small amounts of vitamin C, thiamine, and riboflavin. Although chestnuts are considered a "good" fat, they should not be consumed more than four times per week. One serving of chestnuts equal five whole nuts. It's best to roast chestnuts at home by baking them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 5-6 minutes.

Pumpkin seeds:
Research shows pumpkin seeds to be effective in lowering cholesterol levels, promoting prostate health, and supporting the function of the immune system. Pumpkin seeds are a rich source of potassium, omega-3 fatty acids and zinc. One and one-half ounces of pumpkin seeds can provide over one-third of an adult's daily zinc requirements. However, pumpkin seeds are high in calories and should be eaten in moderation. Limit consumption to no more than three times weekly.

Sunflower seeds:
One of the most popular seeds consumed, sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin E and known to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Studies have also shown them effective in guarding against cataracts. Experts recommend eating two tablespoons of sunflower seeds each day. Doing so will double your intake of vitamin E. However, they are high in calories and should be eaten in limited quantities.

What Happens If You Stop Smoking - Fact Sheet

My intentions for posts on smoking is not to scare smokers but just to show them in what ways they are beaten by the non-smokers. Hope I am right...
Just one more embedded document from scribd, which I call a fact sheet that shows the impact on hourly basis from the minute you stop smoking



Any comments I would like to take them...

Quit Smoking - Another attempt

Whenever anybody see a warning sign or threat usually they would not dare to do anything but still there are few instances where humans who are mentally and physically sound would still dare to do them.
Wondering what they are and who are they...
Yes I am talking about the smoker, drunkards... they know it's not good for health and there is waste of money, time, health and still they would go behind them.
How funny?
Many attempts were made to reduce number of smokers but not so effective. I thought let me give a try, who knows who get inspired by what and at what time... I am just embedding a document "Stop Smoking" which highlights the disadvantages of smoking (mind you they is nothing new, these are very common and everybody knows about them)



Hope this try would be of some help and I would be very glad if it makes some effect among the smokers.

Brain damaging habits

I am busy today, I can't think of breakfast now ...

I am free today, Let me have food till the neck point ...

I am tensed, let me have one puff ...

Just watch out and be careful when you are going to make such statements from now on. Little we know how these habits are going to affect our life/healthy body in the long run.
I am sure nobody would like to do this to their body, what requires is the awareness on the hazards of such habits.

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

I hope after reading this you won't be the same. Start putting them in to practice....
