Garlic Oil, Diabetics and Cardiovascular Health!!!

People with diabetes who incorporate garlic oil into their diet may improve their heart health, according to a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Previous reports have found that an estimated 80 percent of all deaths among people with diabetes are caused by heart disease. Among the different types of these illness, cardiomyopathy, which leads to heart muscle damage, is the leading heart-related cause of deaths among diabetics.

During the recent trial, groups of rats with diabetes were either given a diet that contained garlic or corn oil. The researchers then observed the two animal groups to see which oil led to better prevention of cardiomyopathy.

The team of investigators discovered that because garlic oil contained a high amount of antioxidants, it reduced the risk of cardiovascular complications in the rats that consumed it as opposed to the animals that were fed corn oil.

The authors of the report concluded that "garlic oil possesses significant potential for protecting hearts from diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy."

Individuals who wish to find other natural alternatives to treating diabetes and protecting themselves against heart disease can benefit from eating grapes, according to a study conducted at the University of Michigan Health System.

Diabetes and Carbohydrates!!!!

Carbohydrate or carbs comes from wide varieties of foods like rice, pie, bread, noodles, beans, milk, cookies, soft drinks etc. They come in different forms. Starch, sugar and fibers are the three famous and abundant kinds of carbohydrate.

The simple union of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon composes the sugar molecule, which is the building block of carbohydrates. The essential chains of sugar molecules are starches and fibers.

There are two groups of carbohydrates.

Simple carbohydrate, which includes sugars, fructose or fruit sugar, glucose and dextrose, grape or corn sugar, sucrose or table sugar. This type is considered bad.

Complex carbohydrate, which includes chains of three or more single sugar molecules linked together, which is considered as good.

L-Arginine and Men's Sexual Health


If you haven’t been getting the pleasure you deserve and desire from sex, it may be because you have a deficiency of the essential amino acid L-arginine.

L-arginine is found in protein meat, eggs, milk, cheese and so forth. And it’s critical to your sexual health, with deficiencies linked to decreased sexual desire and reduced sexual function.

Men who’ve tried it report that L-arginine dramatically increases their desire for sex, provides more pleasurable sexual experiences, promotes greater endurance, and helps them achieve longer and more intense orgasms.

L-arginine works by stimulating the production of a crucial compound in your body called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide dilates your blood vessels, which promotes blood flow to your genital tissues and helps them become fully engorged. This dramatically increases your sensitivity and enjoyment.

According to a study conducted at Canada’s University of Alberta and published in Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, rising nitric oxide levels also help lower your blood pressure, something long associated with sexual dysfunction, by relaxing your arteries and helping restore their youthful elasticity.

The increased blood flow L-arginine releases can bring you harder, larger, longer-lasting and more frequent erections. And it’s especially helpful if you’ve ever suffered from erectile dysfunction or an incomplete erection caused by insufficient blood flow.

Better yet, studies also suggest that L-arginine can improve male fertility by increasing both sperm count and motility.

4 Yoga Asanas to Help You Burn Fat

1.Ushtra Asana
Kneel down with your heels facing the ceiling, toes turned outward and arms hanging loosely by the sides. Breathe in. Raise arms gently to shoulder level, then higher, and finally backwards such that your palms touch the heel of the corresponding foot. Stretch your neck letting your head fall backwards. You will feel the stretch in your spine. Gently push the pelvic region forward, improving upon the curve of the spine. Breathe normally. Breathe in and return to the starting position. Repeat two to three times. Each time try to hold the stretch as long as you comfortably can.
Why it works
This asana stretches your entire upper body — the neck, chest and stomach. These places house the lymph glands such as the thymus, tonsils and the spleen. They are primarily responsible for filtering out bacteria and other waste from the blood. Inefficient lymph glands lead to inefficient drainage and collection of fat. Ushtra Asana mobilises the lymph glands, hence preventing cellulite. The increased blood circulation and faster cell rejuvenation within these regions helps bust existing cellulite, slowly but surely.

2.Virya-stambhan Asana
Stand with feet spread wide apart, toes pointing straight ahead. Turn the right leg at a 90 degree angle. Then bend the right knee. Hold your right wrist with your left hand behind your back, bend to your right and gently attempt to touch your big toe with the tip of your nose. However ensure that as you bend, your right knee or right thigh doesn't come in way of your right shoulder. Hold this position for up to 30 seconds. Inhale and slowly return to the start. Repeat the exercise with your left leg. Repeat the asana two to three times.
Why it works
This asana really stretches the inside of your thighs. Rising back from the bend strengthens the thighs, exercising them is similar to working with weights in a gym. This helps burn fats in the thighs. It also exercises the lymph nodes present in the groin area and improves the blood circulation in lower region, thereby busting cellulite pockets.

3.Purna Shalbh Asana
Lie on your stomach. Make a fist. Position it under your thigh, elbows straight. Breathe in. With the support of your folded fists, lift up both legs without bending them at the knees. Tighten the back of thighs and buttocks, holding on to the final pose for as long as possible. Relax the tightened thighs and buttocks. Breathe in. Now, holding your breath, gradually lower the legs to the ground. As your legs touch the ground, release your breath and breathe normal. Repeat two to three times, each time trying to hold on to the final pose for as long as possible.
Why it works
Lifting the legs and trying to hold them for a long time requires strength. As you try harder, the fuel required to get that energy is generated by burning up the fat in thighs and buttocks.

4.Paschimottan Asana
Sit down with your legs outstretched in the front, touching each other, your arms to your sides. Keep your spine erect and raise both your hands above your head, while the inside of your arms touch your ears. Exhale and pull the stomach in and bend forward, stretching your hands towards your toes. Now try to hold your toes with your fingers and subsequently with practice, try to touch your forehead to your knees. Hold this final pose for as long as possible, after which you inhale and gradually come back to the starting position.
Why it works
As your body bends forward, your entire back area (considered your west side in yoga) is stretched. The bending movement affects every part from the heel's tip to the neck (inclusive of the hamstring muscles, buttocks, waist, back and the medulla oblongata).
This extreme stretch works the major muscles of the back, along with the skin. The stretch causes better blood circulation within the region and prevents build up of fat. The skin too is stretched leading to better elasticity and over time can aid in reducing the dimpled look that cellulite is characterised by.

Ayurvedic Approach to Treat Infertility

According to Ayurveda, preparing for conception can be easily compared to the process of farming. Just like the health of a crop depends on the quality of soil, seed, timing of sowing, and amount of watering it gets, the health of a baby depends on the health of its parents. For a pregnancy to be healthy and successful, a couple needs to take care of the following four essential factors: Sperm/Ovum (Seeds), Uterus (Soil), Nourishment (Water), Time for Conception (Timing of Sowing). Reproductive health, in both men and women, depends on the health of the reproductive tissue or shukra dhatu. In women, shukra creates the ovum as part of the monthly cycle, and in men the semen is formed due to sexual stimulation. The shukra is created as part of a long chain of metabolic transformations. It starts with the digestion of food, then goes on to transformation of food to nutrient fluid, blood, muscle, fat, bone, bone marrow, and finally, to shukra tissue. Healthy shukra tissue, then, according to Ayurveda, depends on the health of all the other tissues in the body.
