10 Quick Home Remedies for Food Poisoning

All of us have suffered from food poisoning at some point in life. You may have had those mouthwatering sausages from the roadside stall, only to be visited by severe stomach ache and diarrhea within a couple of days. It's probably food poisoning you're suffering from and you've caught it at least once in your life. With symptoms ranging from mild to severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness and dehydration, food poisoning is a condition not to be ignored. Listed below are a few effective home remedies to cure food poisoning, right from grandma's own medicine chest!

Ginger: It adds flavor to your dishes, but is also an excellent home remedy for curing almost all types of digestive problems. Take a tablespoon of honey with a few drops of ginger juice to reduce inflammation and pain.

Cumin: Cumin or jeera seeds are a good way to soothe the inflammation in your stomach, reduce the tenderness and aid healing. Crush a tablespoon of cumin seeds and add it to your clear soup.

Basil: Basil is another excellent home remedy to cure infections of both the stomach and the throat. Strain the juice of a few basil leaves and add it to a tablespoon of honey. It's bound to show positive results within a couple of hours.

Bananas: Bananas are a rich of potassium. They aid recovery and reduce the effects of food poisoning to an impressive level. Mash a couple of bananas and apple, or whip up a quick banana shake.

Apples: Apples are as effective against food poisoning as they reduce heartburn and acid reflux. Apples are known to have enzymes that inhibit the growth of the bacteria that cause diarrhea and stomach ache.

Lemon: The acidity of the lemon juice kills most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning. Squeeze the juice of a lemon and add a pinch of sugar to it. Drink it as you would take any medicine, or you can even add lemon to your tea.

Activated charcoal: Activated charcoal absorbs all the unwanted gases and substances that may be harmful to the delicate lining of the stomach, thereby aiding speedy recovery.

Water: It is very important to keep yourself fully hydrated during the period of food poising, as your body tends to lose more water through diarrhea. Also, keeping up your water content, rapidly flushes out the toxins and bacteria, which enhances your recovery.

Apple cider vinegar: Being acidic in nature, vinegar, specifically apple cider vinegar, soothes the gastro-intestinal lining. Also, it makes the environment of the stomach inhospitable for the bacteria to breed in, which helps speed up the recovery.

Peppermint tea: It's not just aromatherapy. Peppermint oil is known to have a soothing effect, which is extremely beneficial for people suffering from stomach spasms due to food poisoning. Add a few drops to your tea; your cramps will vanish in a couple of hours. Astrologer Vighnesh India: +91 9445548316 / 9382633377 USA: +1 (425) 358-6565 / +1 (716) 777-3857  Wat'sapp..

• Hypertension, and How to Prevent It!

  If you're above the age of 35, chances are you may have already been warned about the dangers of hypertension or high blood pressure. Hypertension is a condition that occurs when the force of the blood on the arteries' walls is too strong, which eventually creates health problems, especially those connected to heart disease. Our blood pressure is mainly dependent on our blood vessels. When they narrow, the blood pressure level rises (just like a garden hose being squeezed sends water more powerfully). Normal blood pressure should be 120/80. 

  Symptoms of hypertension

  Unfortunately, many people won't show signs of hypertension, and it will only become evident when they either go through a test or have a health-related problem. 

  Common symptoms include Mild headaches, Dizziness, nosebleeds, shortness of breath and vision problems.

  Common causes of high blood pressure

   

  

  - Kidney problems
  - Age
  - Obesity
  - Stress
  - Lack of exercise
  - Use of certain drugs (cocaine, for example, alcohol for another)
  - Certain medication (cold remedies, birth control pills, pain relievers etc.)
  - Sleep apnea

  However, there are a great many cases of hypertension with unknown underlying reasons, perhaps genetic, and they can be controlled effectively with certain home remedies and lifestyle changes.

  Home remedies that will lower your blood pressure
   
  1. Lemon Water

   

  

  Lemon softens your blood vessels, and in turn, lowers your blood pressure. In addition, the vitamin B in it will help keep your heart healthy. Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to a glass of hot water, drink it on an empty stomach. Try to drink 5-6 glasses of fresh lemon water every day. It would be best to drink lemon juice without any sugar or salt, you can always add a little honey if the taste is a bit too bitter.

  2. Ginger Juice with Cumin

   

  

  Mix a teaspoon of cumin powder with a honey and ginger juice mixture to create a blood pressure remedy. Add 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger juice to a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of cumin powder and mix well. Consume twice a day to lower your blood pressure.

  3. Garlic

   

  

  Garlic is a very common home remedy that reduces the cholesterol levels in our body, one of the main causes of high blood pressure. Garlic contains hydrogen sulfide, a compound that is essential to good blood flow.

  To effectively lower your blood pressure, eat 5-6 cloves of fresh garlic every day, on an empty stomach. You can also extract the juice of the garlic by crushing about 10 cloves of it. Add 5-6 drops of garlic juice to four teaspoons of water and drink twice a day.

  4. Watermelon seeds

   

  

  Watermelon seeds contain a substance called cucurbitacin. This material helps widen the blood capillaries in your body and reduces hypertension levels. It also helps fight off arthritis and kidney diseases.

  Start by taking two tablespoons of dried seeds and crushing them gently. Then add them to a cup of boiling water. Leave in the cup for about an hour and slightly stir it so it mixes with the water all the way. Strain it and drink 4 tablespoons of this water every hour of the day for quick results. 

  5. Curry Leaves

   

  

  Curry leaves contain many medicinal properties and were found to be effective in treating high blood pressure.

  Boil 25-30 leaves in a cup of water. Let it simmer down to room temperature and strain away the leaves. Drink this concoction early in the morning on an empty stomach.

  6. Celery Leaves

   

  

  A substance called 3-N-butylphthalide (try saying that 3 times fast) is found in high amounts in celery leaves and is a compound that can really help drastically lower your blood pressure, as well as reduce the stress hormones that cause the blood vessels to constrict in the first place.
   

  Add one or more stalks of celery (or celery leaves) and make a daily vegetable salad that will help you really reduce that blood pressure. When consuming the celery, drink a glass of water for better results.

  7. Onion Juice

   

  

  A recent study has found that giving people who suffer from hypertension onion juice, reduced their condition considerably, compared to a placebo group. Researchers think a compound named quercetin may be responsible for this. Try to eat at least one raw onion a day. Extract the juice of the onion and add a teaspoon of it to a teaspoon of honey. Drink this twice a day, every day to lower your blood pressure.

  8. Fenugreek Seeds

   

  

  Make a paste out of fenugreek seeds that are said to be very useful in the battle against high blood pressure. Take 1-2 teaspoons of seeds and boil them in water for about 3-4 minutes. Strain the seeds and crush them (or use a blender) to make a smooth paste. Consume this amount twice every day: morning and evening, and always on an empty stomach. Your hypertension should begin to lower in 2-3 months time.
   

  Note: Please check with your doctor regarding the regular use of Fenugreek seeds, as over-consumption may cause problems with circulation and heart rhythm.

  9. Bananas

   

  

  Bananas have zero cholesterol and are low in sodium. Try to eat at least 2 of them a day or add them to your meals. Other foods that are good for high blood pressure: orange juice, spinach, baked sweet potatoes, and raisins.

6 Exercises That'll Improve Eye Health

Other than our heart, our eye muscles are the hardest working muscle group in the body. It doesn’t matter whether you’re at work, at the gym or relaxing at home – we still stare at glowing screens. These habits weaken our eye muscles, making them tired and less efficient, which in turn weakens our eyesight and exacerbate existing problems. These six easy exercises will reduce the strain on your eyes – a leading cause of tension and tiredness. Important: take a 20-second break between each set. 1. Focusing on Different Distances This exercise works on the inner eye muscles.

Repetitions: 5 Sets: 3 Stand or sit comfortably. Place your thumb approximately 10 inches away from your face and focus on it. Take a deep breath and focus on an object that’s 10-20ft away. Repeat by changing focus between objects with every deep breath. 2. Stretching the Medial and Lateral Eye Muscles This exercise will stretch and strengthen the muscles that control the eye’s horizontal and vertical movement.

Repetitions: 3 Sets: 3 Sit comfortably while maintaining an upright position. Look at the leftmost point you can without moving your head. Focus on this point for 5 seconds. Blink a few times and return the eye to its normal resting state. Look at the rightmost point you can without moving your head. Focus on that point for 5 seconds. Blink a few times and return the eye to its normal resting state. Repeat the exercise by looking at the upmost/lowest point. Remember to blink between each stretch.   3. Relaxing the Eyes This exercise will reduce tension and stress around the eyes and is recommended when taking a break from working on the computer.

Duration: 5-10minutes Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths. Lean your elbows on a desk (place a pillow underneath to reduce strain on the elbows). Rub your palms together to warm them up. Close your eyes and cover them with your palms. Your fingers should be on your forehead, and the bottom of your palms should lean on your cheekbones. Make sure not to put pressure on your eyes by pressing your palms on them. To be sure, try blinking. Remain in this state for 5-10 minutes (it’s recommended that you use a timer). If your eyes still feel tired after this, repeat it.   4. Half-Closing Your Eyes This exercise, taken from traditional yoga, is meant to strengthen your eyelids, which have an important role in supporting the eye.

Duration: 1½ minutes Partially close your eyes, make sure your eyelids cover no more than half the eye. If your upper lids start shaking, concentrate until they stop. You can try focusing on a distant object. Remain in this state for 10-15 seconds, and then slowly close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths to increase your blood flow. Visualize that the clean air you’re inhaling goes into your eyes. Exhale, then repeat for a minute.   5. Number 8 Movement This exercise will strengthen the eye muscles and will improve their flexibility.

Repetitions: 10 per each direction Sets: 3 Imagine the number 8 lying down (∞). Track that shape with your eyes – do this slowly without moving your head. After completing 10 repetitions to one direction, blink for a few seconds, then perform 10 more repetitions to the other direction. 6. Massaging the Eyes, Temples, and eyebrows This exercise relaxes the eyes and reduces strain and tension by increasing blood flow to these areas. Additionally, the mild pressure on the tear ducts will increase the moistness in the eyes, which provides relief for tired eyes.

Repetitions: 3 Close your eyes. Lightly press on your upper eyelids and gently massage them in circular motions using 3 fingers. Perform 10 clockwise movements, and then 10 counter-clockwise movements. Repeat the same exercise on the lower eyelids. Use your fingertips to massage your temples in circular motions. Do this 20 times in a clockwise direction, and then 20 more times in a counter-clockwise direction. Massage the point between the eyebrows. Apply gentle pressure on the inner edges of the eyebrows (by the nose), and then release. Perform this exercise 3 times. 7. Controlled Cross-eyed Focusing This exercise will strengthen your eye muscles, as well as train your eyes to focus on nearby objects, thus relieving stress on the eyes.

Duration: 5-10 Minutes Make a noticeable mark on a pencil. Hold the pencil vertically with your arm fully stretched, with the mark facing you. Focus on the mark, but do not proceed to step 4 until you’re 100% focused on the mark. Slowly move the pencil closer to your face, while keeping total focus on the marked pencil. Try and maintain a straight line with your nose. Your eyes will have to adjust to keep the pencil in focus. Stop at the point where you start seeing double. Without moving your head or the pencil, look away and focus on something else, and then take a 5-second break from the exercise. If the change in focus bothers your eyes, close them for a few seconds. During this time, do not move your head or the pencil. Once your eyes feel rested, look back at the marked pencil, until you’re fully focused on it. If it takes some time at first, don’t be discouraged. If you still see the pencil twice after 2-3 tries, proceed to the next step. Slowly move the pencil away from your face while staying focused on it. Repeat for 5 minutes a day. Once this becomes easy, repeat for 10 minutes a day. Astrologer Vighnesh India: +91 9445548316 / 9382633377 USA: +1 (425) 358-6565 / +1 (716) 777-3857  Wat'sapp..
