WHAT IS PROCESSED MEAT?

Simply putting beef through a mincer does not mean the resulting mince is "processed" unless it is modified further.

Processed meat includes bacon, sausages, hot dogs, salami, corned beef, beef jerky and ham as well as canned meat and meat-based sauces.

It is the chemicals involved in the processing which could be increasing the risk of cancer. High temperature cooking, such as on a barbeque, can also create carcinogenic chemicals.

In the UK, around six out of every 100 people get bowel cancer at some point in their lives.

If they were all given an extra 50g of bacon a day for the rest of their lives then the risk would increase by 18% to around seven in 100 people getting bowel cancer.

"So that's one extra case of bowel cancer in all those 100 lifetime bacon-eaters," argued Sir David Spiegelhalter, a risk professor from the University of Cambridge.

CLASSIFICATION OF RED MEAT

HOW MUCH HARM?

he WHO has come to the conclusion on the advice of its International Agency for Research on Cancer, which assesses the best available scientific evidence.

It has now placed processed meat in the same category as plutonium, but also alcohol as they definitely do cause cancer.

However, this does not mean they are equally dangerous. A bacon sandwich is not as bad as smoking.

"For an individual, the risk of developing colorectal (bowel) cancer because of their consumption of processed meat remains small, but this risk increases with the amount of meat consumed," Dr Kurt Straif from the WHO said.

Estimates suggest 34,000 deaths from cancer every year could be down to diets high in processed meat.

That is in contrast to one million deaths from cancer caused by smoking and 600,000 attributed to alcohol each year.

Red meat does have nutritional value too and is a major source of iron, zinc and vitamin B12.

However, the WHO said there was limited evidence that 100g of red meat a day increased the risk of cancer by 17%.

Benefits Of Apple Cider Vinegar 

     1.Controls Blood Sugar Levels 

• Your body produces insulin to manage the level of sugar in your blood. The antiglycemic effects of apple cider vinegar help improve insulin sensitivity.
  People who have insulin resistance should have a dose of apple cider vinegar with each meal. Mix one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with one glass of filtered water.
  Drink this three times daily to steady your stomach’s digestion rate, which in turn increases the time your body has to process new sugars and keeps your blood sugar levels more stable.
  
  
  

  2. Whitens Teeth

  If you are embarrassed because you have yellow teeth, apple cider vinegar is a cheap and simple way to restore your teeth’s natural pearly white sheen. Apple cider vinegar helps remove stains and kill bacteria in your mouth and gums.
  All you need to do is gargle with apple cider vinegar every morning and then brush your teeth as usual. Regularly eating apples also helps, as the crunchy fruit scrubs your teeth like a toothbrush.
  
  
  

  3. Relieves Constipation 

  Apple cider vinegar contains pectin, a water-soluble fiber that promotes bowel movements. This makes it a great natural treatment for constipation.
  Add two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water and drink it three times a day. You can add apple or grape juice to the mix to make it more palatable.
  
  
  

  4. Promotes weight loss

  Regular consumption of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar can also promote weight loss. Apple cider vinegar is a good source of acetic acid.
  Studies have found that obese people who consumed acetic acid daily for 12 weeks enjoyed a significant decrease in body weight, abdominal fat, waist circumference, and triglycerides. The acetic acid also helps prevent buildup of body fat and certain liver fats.
  
  
  

  5. Makes Hair Healthy and Nourishing

  A solution of apple cider vinegar and water, mixed in equal proportions, makes a wonderful natural hair conditioner. It helps nourish the hair, giving it a shine and soft texture.
  It’s also effective as a home remedy for dandruff. Apple cider vinegar destroys the fungus that causes dandruff and restores the pH balance of the scalp.
  To treat dandruff, apply a 50/50 mixture of water and apple cider vinegar to the scalp, leave it on for 15 minutes to an hour and then rinse it out. Follow this remedy once or twice in a week.
  
  

  6. Glowing skin

  Apple cider vinegar can help treat blemishes, reduce wrinkles and tone your skin. For blemishes, apple cider vinegar is a good astringent. Soak a cotton pad in diluted apple cider vinegar and dab it on your blemishes to dry them out and help them heal.
  To minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, soak a cotton pad in diluted apple cider vinegar and apply it to the areas you want to treat. It will help tighten and plump up your skin a bit.
  To use as a toner, mix half a cup of apple cider vinegar with a cup of water and apply it all over your face. Regular use of this solution will help maintain the pH balance in your skin and prevent various types of skin infection.
  

•  One medium-sized apple contains about four grams of fiber. Some of that is in the form of pectin, a type of soluble fiber that has been linked to lower levels of LDL or "bad" cholesterol. That's because it blocks absorption of cholesterol, according to WebMD, helping the body to use it rather than store it.
  
  2.Apple is full of Fiber
•  Apple's wealth of fiber can also keep you feeling full for longer without costing you a lot of calories -- there are about 95 in a medium-sized piece of fruit. That's because it takes our bodies longer to digest complex fiber than more simple materials like sugar or refined grains. Anything with at least three grams of fiber is a good source of the nutrient; most people should aim to get about 25 to 40 grams a day.
  
  
  3.Apples make you slim
•  One component of an apple's peel (which also has most of the fiber) is something called ursolic acid, which was linked to a lower risk of obesity in a recent study in mice. That's because it boosts calorie burn and increases muscle and brown fat, HuffPost UK reported.
  
  
  4.Apples prevents Alzheimer's Disease
• Apples contain quercetin, a powerful antioxidant that protects brain cells from degeneration in rats and might do the same in humans. Dr. Ramani Soundararajan from Dalhousie Medical School and Dr. Vasantha Rupasinghe at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College found that Red Delicious flavonoids had strong neuroprotective effects.
  
  
  5.Apples prevents High blood pressure
   There is overwhelming evidence that one-third of all cancer cases and half the incidences of cardiovascular disease and hypertension can be attributed to diet. Because apples are high in potassium, a mineral that helps control blood pressure, they can help reduce the risk of stroke.
  
  

  
  
  6. Apples protects Heart and keep heart Diseases away

   
  
  

  University of California-Davis researchers found that apples and apple juice may help slow the oxidation process that is involved in the build up of plaque that leads to heart disease. Participants added only two apples or 12 ounces of apple juice to their diet daily and positive effects were evident after only six weeks.
  

  7. Apples protect against Colon Cancer
  

  When the natural fibre in apples ferments in the colon, it produces chemicals that help fight the formation of cancer cells, according to new research from Germany.
   
  
  8.Apples reduces risk of Asthama
  A study completed at Aberdeen University found there is strong evidence that a healthy diet rich in anti-oxidants and vitamins is good for asthma. Researchers found that when children sipped on apple juice their symptoms were relieved. Dr Peter Burney, who led the project, believes that the 'phytochemicals' in apples, such as flavanoids and phenolic acids, help calm inflammation in the airways.
  
  
  
  9.Bone Development 
   Researchers believe that a flavanoid called phloridzin, found only in apples may protect post-menopausal women from osteoporosis and may also increase bone density. Boron, another ingredient in apples, also strengthens bones.
  
  

  
  
  10.Apples aids in good Digestion

   Apples, being rich in fiber, help in the digestive process. Regular consumption of apples ensures smooth bowel movements and helps in preventing constipation and various stomach disorders. Fiber is an important part of any diet. It adds bulk to the stool and helps food pass through the digestive tract smoothly. Furthermore, it stimulates peristaltic motion so the muscles contract appropriately and move food along. Finally, it stimulates the release of gastric and digestive juices to ensure efficient uptake of nutrients, while simultaneously scraping excess cholesterol out of your veins and arteries to ensure proper heart health and reduce chances of atherosclerosis.

• Oxidative damage is believed to be one of the mechanisms behind ageing and many diseases.The main reason antioxidants are so beneficial, is that they protect our bodies from free radicals.
  In that way, curcumin delivers a one-two punch against free radicals. It blocks them directly, then stimulates the body’s own antioxidant mechanisms. 
   
  8.TURMERIC PREVENTS ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE   
•  Brain inflammation is suspected to be one of the leading causes of cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Turmeric supports overall brain health by aiding in the removal of plaque build-up in the brain and improving the flow of oxygen. This can also prevent or slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
  
  
  9.TURMERIC IMPROVES DIGESTION
•  Many key components in turmeric stimulate the gallbladder to produce bile, which then improves digestion and reduces symptoms of bloating and gas. Also, turmeric is helpful in treating most forms of inflammatory bowel disease including ulcerative colitis.

LACK OF SLEEP EFFECTING BODY

1. Lack of sleep makes your Brain dumb and makes you lazy.

• Sleep plays a critical role in thinking and learning. Lack of sleep hurts these cognitive processes in many ways.
• First, it impairs attention, alertness, concentration, reasoning, and problem solving.
• Second, during the night, various sleep cycles play a role in “consolidating” memories in the mind. If you don’t get enough sleep, you won’t be able to remember what you learned and experienced during the day.

    2. Lack of sleep can lead to many serious health problems 

• Heart Diseases (Stroke,Heart attack , Heart arrest etc).
• Diabetes
• Blood Pressure
• Stomach problems ( Excess Gas, Acidity, Bloating etc etc )

     3. Lack of Sleep Kills Sex Drive

• A study done in the “Journal of clinical endocrinology & Metabolism in 2002 suggests many men with lack of sleep have low testosterone levels.
• Many people around the world are suffering from “Erectile Dysfunction”. Men aging from 23-40 mainly due to lack of sleep and excess stress according to my knowledge.

     4. Lack of sleep brings Ageing on skin

• When you don’t get enough sleep, your body releases more of the stress hormone cortisol.
• “It’s during deep sleep — what we call slow-wave sleep — that growth hormone is released,” says sleep expert Phil Gehrman, PhD. “It seems to be part of normal tissue repair — patching the wear and tear of the day.”

• One study in Japanese individuals found that those who drank the most green tea had a 42% lower risk of developing type II diabetes.
• According to a review of 7 studies with a total of 286,701 individuals, green tea drinkers had an 18% lower risk of becoming diabetic.

• There are thousands of different detoxes out there, most of them are effective at detoxification, but there is often little, if any, attention given to what to eat after or how to spot chemicals and toxins and avoid them in the first place.
• Human liver is an organ that is vitally important and something that we must feed properly so that it can press out those nasty toxins. We have to also ensure that we don’t add any stressors to it in the process.

• For healthy hair to be long and luscious, your body needs the right amount of essential nutrients to facilitate such growth. Although fruits, vegetables and other healthful foods are our best sources of vitamins.
• Applying expensive products,expensive shampoos is not the correct way for hair growth still many natural and organic ways are their to promote hair growth.

VITAMINS FOR BETTER HAIR GROWTH:

1:Vitamin-A:

• Vitamin A is one of the most overlooked vitamins but it’s extremely beneficial and is an integral part of growth, development and cellular health, which means that the right amount of vitamin A can help your scalp become the perfect foundation for housing follicles and promoting production.
• Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin and is rich in antioxidants which help condition and moisturize your scalp preventing the hair from drying out.
• It also fights all kinds of pollutants which harm your hair making it weaker and more susceptible to breakage.
• Sources of vitamin-A : Alfalfa, borage leaves, burdock root, cayenne pepper, apricots, apples, grapes, watermelon, melon, peaches, buckthorn, cherries, rose hips, fennel, hops, green and yellow vegetables (carrots, pumpkin, sweet peppers, spinach, broccoli, green onions and parsley).

2: Vitamin B7:

• Vitamin B7, also known as biotin or vitamin H is a water-soluble B vitamin. This vitamin is crucial in leaving you with a head full of strong hair.
• Vitamin B7 repairs brittle hair and it aids in the production of fatty acids within the cells.
• A deficiency in vitamin B7 can lead to dry skin and hair loss, which is referred to as alopecia in the world of medicine. To keep your roots safely in your scalp so your hair can continue to flourish, your body needs this vitamin as well as B3, B5 and B6, which similarly aid hair growth.
• Sources of Vitamin-B7 : Avocadoes, bananas, grapefruit, strawberries, watermelon and raspberries, broccoli, cabbage, sweet potatoes, green peas, cauliflower, green and leafy vegetables like spinach.

3: Vitamin B12:

• Vitamin B12 is the only water-soluble vitamin that is capable of accumulating in the body. It deposits itself in the liver, kidneys, lungs and in the spleen.
• As your hair continues to grow vitamin B12 can help limit your hair from shedding and breakage.
• It helps maintain healthy nerves too which is essential to the prevention of hair loss. Just as vitamin B6 vitamin B12 also aids in the production of new red blood cells.

4: Vitamin C :

• Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid is an organic acid with structural features similar to such mild acids as acetic acid (found in vinegar) and citric acid.
• Vitamin C is extremely hygroscopic due to the presence of multiple hydroxyl groups (oxygen-hydrogen, – OH), this means that it easily attracts water.
• It acts as a clarifying agent that helps remove mineral buildup on the surface of the hair which gives your hair the ability to accept moisture. This quality makes vitamin C an excellent natural moisturizer.
• A lack in vitamin C can result in weak hair that is prone to break which is the polar opposite of what you need when trying to grow out your hair.

5: Vitamin D :

• Your body uses vitamin D to help itself absorb nutrients including those which are required for the production and growth of hair.
• Vitamin D controls hair follicle cycling. It is converted to calcidiol in the liver which is then converted to calcitriol in the kidneys.
• Vitamin D also helps reduce stress. Bringing the stress level down is a direct precursor for hair growth stimulation. Suffering from a deficiency in vitamin D can cause hair loss.
