3.. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks:
· Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting,
· Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
· You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
· Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
· 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
· Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

நான்ஸ்டிக் பாத்திரங்கள் பாவிப்பதால் ஏற்படும் தீமைகள்.
உணவில் அதிக எண்ணெய் சேர்த்துக் கொள்ள விரும்பாதவர்கள் நான்ஸ்டிக் பாத்திரங்களை உபயோகிக்கின்றனர். இந்த பாத்திரங்களில் சமைக்க குறைந்த அளவு எண்ணெய் தான் தேவைப்படும். குறிப்பாக தயாரிக்கப்படும் உணவு பாத்திரத்தில் ஒட்டவே ஒட்டாது. இது தான் நான்ஸ்டிக்கின் சிறப்பு அம்சம்.
எண்ணையின் அளவை குறைப்பதற்காக மட்டுமின்றி நான்ஸ்டிக் பாத்திரத்தில் சமையல் செய்வது இன்றைக்கு நாகரீகமாக கருதப்பட்டாலும் அதுவே உடல் நலத்திற்கு கேடு விளைவிக்கிறது.நான்ஸ்டிக்கை பயன்படுத்தினால் கொழுப்புச்சத்தைக் குறைக்கலாம் என்று நினைப்பது தவறாகும்.
அந்த பாத்திரங்களின் உட்புறம் பூசப்படும் ரசாயன பொருட்கள் மற்றும் தண்ணீரை உறிஞ்சாத வாட்டர் புரூப் தயாரிக்க பயன்படும் “பேப்ரிக்”குகளும் கொழுப்பு சத்தை உணவில் அதிகரிக்கின்றன. அந்த உணவை சாப்பிடும் குழந்தைகளின் ரத்தத்தில் கலந்து கொழுப்பு சத்தை அதிகரிக்கிறது. லிபோபுரோட்டீனின் அளவை குறைக்கிறது. இதனால் குழந்தைகளின் உடல்நலம் பாதிக்கும் நிலை உருவாகிறது.
நான்ஸ்டிக் பாத்திரங்களில் உணவு பொருட்கள் ஒட்டாமல் இருக்க “பெர்புலோரோ அல்சைல்” திரவம் பூசப்படகிறது. இதன் மூலம் தான் கொழுப்புசத்து அதிகரிப்பதாக கூறப்படுகிறது.
ஆனால் நம் முன்னோர் மண்சட்டியில் தயார் செய்யும் உணவு உடலுக்கு ஆரோக்கியமானது என்பது மட்டும் முற்றிலும் உண்மை.

The secrets to great skin....

The secrets to good skin are much more basic they have to do with a well-balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, the two most important factors that influence the condition of your skin.
* Don't tug or pull your skin. Don't stretch it. Don't squeeze or press blackhead/whiteheads or pimples, you might injure and damage your skin.
* Don't talk when you have a face pack on. You will get wrinkles and fine lines and also you will loose the elasticity of your skin.
* Don't imitate others, never buy makeup product just because your friend uses it. Consider your skin type and your skin's need of that time. Test the product on yourself and then if it suits you, go ahead and buy it.
* Avoid wrong massage. Wrong massaging may cause wrinkles and destroy the build of the skin. Use a good cream/oil as per your choice and facilitate the movements of your hands. The best thing is to massage your face with upward and outward strokes.
* Don't wash your face with hot water, not even in the extreme winters. Use tepid water to wash your face or to bathe, not hot or cold as extreme temperature will harm your skin.
* Don't go after junk food. Avoid cakes, pastries, chips, burgers, spicy food, drinks etc. Eat fresh fruits and veggies daily.
* Don't be grumpy. Start the day with a smile, look at yourself in the mirror and smile to yourself. Anger, tension, depression, making faces spoils your beauty.
* Avoid over-exposure to sun. Though a little amount of sunlight is good for us, we should avoid over-exposure as it is harmful. Use a good quality sunscreen with high SPF suitable to your skin. Protect eyes with shades and hair with scarf or umbrella.
* Don't sleep with makeup on, you may get pimples, blackheads and your skin will become dull and lifeless. Use a cleanser on your face and neck or simply wash off with a face wash.
* Avoid short cuts. The first step to a beautiful skin is cleansing. Use a cleanser or face wash twice a day. Then use a mild toner to close pores, freshen and tighten your skin. Finally use a moisturiser suited to your skin type. Keep aside 10-20 mins for yourself daily.
