				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>You probably know that cigarette smoke contains nicotine and tar. But did you know that cigarette smoke is a toxic cocktail of nearly four thousand chemicals? Many of them like arsenic, formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide, and carbon monoxide are considered highly poisonous. Some of them are known to cause cancers. <img src="http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2008/06/12/15smoking_q4nHN_17616.jpg" alt="15smoking_q4nHN_17616"/></p>
	<p><strong>The Ayurvedic way</strong></p>
	<p>According to Ayurveda, nicotine, tar, and other toxic substances found in cigarettes have to be removed from the three intake channels – udak or water, prana or air, and anna or food – as well as the tissues (also called dhatus). </p>
	<p>To remove the toxic compounds from your intake channels, drink plenty of cool (not cold) water. Better still, drink water kept in a copper container to scrape away the ama or toxic deposit. To remove the toxic substances already deposited in your tissues, take 3 tablets of triphala before bedtime. Take toning herbs such as ashwagandha, shatavari, bala, and ginseng. </p>
	<p>Some other western herbs you could try include skullcap, valerian, parrot’s beak, willow, oak, Oregon grape root and goldenseal. </p>
	<p>Try nicotine-free cigarettes containing basil, turmeric, Indian cinnamon, clove, gangal, bishop’s weed, liquorice, tendu leaves, and Indian bdellium instead of nicotine-bearing cigarettes!</p>
	<p><strong>The yoga route</strong></p>
	<p>Neti-kriya yoga performed morning and night is believed to be an excellent aid. To practice this, allow normal salt solution at room temperature to enter one nostril and flow out of the other. Then, reverse. </p>
	<p>You can also perform bhastrika pranayam to remove the contaminants in the upper airways. Read a yoga manual for instructions. This breathing technique can decrease the craving for cigarettes. </p>
	<p><strong>Dietary changes</strong></p>
	<p>Do you often experience a strange taste on your tongue when trying to quit smoking? To adapt better to the de-addiction, eat fewer acidic foods and more alkaline foods such as raisins, beetroots and lima beans. </p>
	<p>Avoid stimulants like alcohol and coffee that often increase your craving for cigarettes. </p>
	<p>Without the nicotine, your body’s metabolism will slow down a bit. You may gain some weight, so check your calorie intake and nibble on low-calorie foods like celery, apples, and carrots. </p>
	<p>Keep going. Remember – if you persist, you will eventually manage to quit.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>When you enter a South Indian home or restaurant, the lovely aroma that assails you is usually the lemony smell of fried curry leaves.</p>
	<p>The curry leaf is not only popular but an essential part of most dishes cooked in South India, and now, in many parts of Asia as well.<img src="http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2008/06/11/crleaf1_SXOIO_17616.jpg" alt="crleaf1_SXOIO_17616" align="right"/></p>
	<p>These leaves are deep green in color and belong to the citrus family. They grow easily in a tropical climate. </p>
	<p>The leaves when fried have a unique aroma. Fresh green leaves are best; when unavailable the dried variety is used. The leaves are dried in the shade and stored in airtight containers when they dry to retain their flavor. Sometimes they are powdered and used in chutneys.<img src="http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2008/06/11/curryle1_twVXP_17616.gif" alt="curryle1_twVXP_17616" align="right"/></p>
	<p><strong>Curative value</strong></p>
	<p>When a person suffers from digestive problems, the leaves are pounded together with cumin seeds and added to buttermilk. It works wonders. The buttermilk after a heavy meal helps digestion. When you feel sick because of a heavy meal the previous night, the buttermilk helps on an empty stomach.</p>
	<p>For severe nausea during pregnancy, one teaspoon of juice extract, mixed with one teaspoon of honey, or half a teaspoon of limejuice can work miracles. This can be used two to three times a day – depending on the severity of the nausea.</p>
	<p>A paste of these leaves can be applied as a poultice on burns and bruises.</p>
	<p>The leaves are also useful as a hair tonic. Add twenty leaves to a cup of coconut oil and heat the oil till the leaves turn black. Apply this oil to the scalp 2-3 times a week. This helps hair grow and also stops graying.</p>
	<p>When we come across a curry leaf floating in a South Indian dish, we nudge it aside - the next time it would be better if we chewed the leaf as it is said to control the cholesterol level in the body.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Is God&#8217;s Own Country turning into Godmen&#8217;s Own Country? If the recent events involving fraud godmen are any indication, it is time Kerala&#8217;s  most famous catchline was rewritten. Day after day, several scandals linked to self-styled godmen are surfacing in the most-literate state in the country.<br />
                      The recent arrest in Kochi of Santosh Madhavan, who is facing charges of raping minor girls, cheating and financial fraud took the lid off flourishing spiritual rackets.<br />
                    The first saffron-robed man to hit the headlines was Santhosh Madhavan alias Swami Amritachaithanya, arrested May 13 and charged with the rape of a teenage girl and possession of ‘ganja’ (marijuana). A tiger skin and a large number of pornographic films were also recovered from his house in Kochi.</p>
	<p>The second godman, whose threats to shoot himself inside a police station in Aluva were beamed across television sets Saturday, is Himaval Maheswara Bhadranandaji, popularly known as ‘Ernakulam Swami’.</p>
	<p>He was taken to the police station after he threatened suicide. And in full view of the media, Bhadranandaji, with a pistol at his forehead, hurled abuses at the media for alleged negative publicity.</p>
	<p>When police officials tried to stop him, the gun went off and a bullet whizzed past a reporter. In the ensuing melee, another shot was fired, injuring Bhadranandaji. He is now cooling his heels in the police custody.</p>
	<p>Preliminary inquires by the intelligence officials revealed that these godmen have considerable wealth without any proper records or accounts.</p>
	<p>    It&#8217;s pathetic how anyone can dress up as holy men and claim to be a hindu god man and cheat people. It just shows how blind people are about their faith. They want to believe in something but they don&#8217;t have anything solid to have faith on. It&#8217;s just superstition and myth and without proper truth, they easily get cheated by the hindu &#8216;holy men&#8217;.</p>
	<p>It&#8217;s time people are educated about what is truth, what is reality, what is myth and what is superstition. Even many educated people need some enlightening on this subject.<br />
     It is very disheartening to note that we are just bringing down our country to new lows with such activities.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Cassowaries are the world&#8217;s most dangerous birds, capable of dealing fatal blows.<br />
They are very unpredictable, aggressive creatures, especially if wounded or cornered.<img src="http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2008/06/10/w-m-d-b-005_OFDJR_17616.jpg" alt="w-m-d-b-005_OFDJR_17616"/></p>
	<p>The Cassowary lives in the rain forests of Australia and New Guinea and are actually pretty shy animals if undisturbed, but if you get to close and it thinks you are a threat you could receive a bone-breaking kick or get sliced by its dagger-like sharp claws.</p>
	<p>During second world war, soldiers stationed in New Guinea were warned to stay away from these birds, but some of them still became victims.</p>
	<p>The Cassowary is also one of the most difficult animals to keep in the Zoo because of the frequent injuries suffered by Zoo keepers that look after them.<img src="http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2008/06/10/w-m-d-b-003_blRQz_17616.jpg" alt="w-m-d-b-003_blRQz_17616"/></p>
	<p>This bird can take care of itself, but, unfortunately, this doesn&#8217;t seem to help it very much against human cruelty and it is on the endangered species list, along with so many others¦

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Type 2 diabetic patients must keep blood sugar levels as normal as possible to prevent the disease from elevating the chances of heart disease, high blood pressure and possible damage to eyes, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels. “Levels of blood sugar, or blood glucose, rise sharply in patients with type 2 diabetes immediately following a meal,” said researcher Kalidas Shetty, a professor of food biotechnology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and a U.S. State Department Jefferson Science Fellow. “Red wine and tea contain natural [phenolic] antioxidants that may slow the passage of glucose through the small intestine and eventually into the bloodstream and prevent this spike.” <img src="http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2008/06/10/3386643263_vine-teacrop1_3qnUd_17616.jpg" alt="3386643263_vine-teacrop1_3qnUd_17616" align="right"/></p>
	<p>                   You can consume wine when you are a diabetic, but you should consume wine with a carbohydrate food or with a meal. Consuming wine without a meal can cause one’s blood sugar to dip unexpectedly (hypoglycaemia), especially if he or she is dependent on insulin or medication.
