Lobsters May Hold Paralysis Cure

Lobsters May Hold Paralysis Cure

A new treatment based on the shells of sea creatures like lobsters may offer fresh hope to paralyzed and brain-damaged patients.

US researchers have found that a simple sugar found in crustacean shells appears to be able to cure damaged spinal chords, reports The Daily Express .

Professor Richard Borgens, director of the Centre for Paralysis Research in Indiana, which is pioneering the new treatment, said: “This is the most exciting development for spinal cord and brain injury since Second World War.

I am very excited. Using chemicals to repair the damaged nervous system is a completely new way to treat people with these terrible injuries. It’s amazing one of these special chemicals would turn out to be a sugar.”

In the treatment, the sugar, mixed with sterile water, is injected into the bloodstream and then migrates to the spinal cord injury where it plugs holes in the coating of the nerve cells.

Borgens added: “Science has moved in a new direction. Previously we have been looking at drugs which would potentially reduce damage. Now we are looking at complete repair.”

The treatment, successfully used in guinea pigs, will also work in human trials, says the expert.

“The spinal cord of a guinea pig is very similar to that of a human – it is just smaller,” he said.

“This is not like a drug which may work in some species and not in others. This is a mechanical effect. The sugar molecules migrate to the nerve injury target and repair the injured area, not the undamaged area.”

The discovery, published in The Journal of Experimental Biology , was made by Youngman Cho, a chemist in his team.

Eye Care

Eye Care

Eyes are the most important of the human body. But at times we ignore and take it lightly when it comes to the eye protection and taking care of. In this post I want to list some of the measures which should be taken in order to keep your eyes safe, from those harmful radiations and pollution.

When you get up!

Wash your eyes gently with cold water. Cold Water soothes eyes and maintains the moisture of the eyes, thus keep them healthy and safe. Isn't it too simple just to wash your eyes with cold water???

Always do remember to wash your eyes 4-5 times a day!

When at work!

Be careful when you are at work, i.e., at office in front of your system. Computer system emits harmful radiations, which takes away the moistness of eyes and thus making them dry. This is too dangerous for eyes and leads to irritation, or in extreme cases loss of vision.

Always make it a point to not focus directly into the monitor for more than 20 minutes. Now that doesn't mean that you should stop doing work, the bottom line here is not to look continuously for 20 minutes. Just try to move your eyes after every 20 minutes.

This is too simple and you don't have to get up from your place after every half an hour or so; rather try to look at a far off point concentrate for a minute and you are done.

While driving!

Wear glasses while driving a 2-wheeler. It protects your eyes from dust and pollution.

Always remember to wash your eyes only with cold water, before going to bed. It's good if you have some natural eye drops or rose water to put regularly before sleeping.

Water Water Water

Water Water Water

75% of the body content consists of water. That is why water is the most important content of the balanced diet and a healthy living.

On an average a normal/healthy person should drink 3-5 liters a day of water. Now drinking water does not means that you are not able to drink that amount of water the whole day and suddenly you decide that you should drink 2 liters at night.

That's weird and all false. You should manage to drink water at a proper rate the whole day, with that amount getting into your body; not at the same time you decide to fullfill that content. If later is the case, then you will fear some health hazards.

So in order to have proper amount of water, drink the whole day. Another thing which should be remembered is try to have liquid diet as well including water. One thing which should be clear is, that 3-5 liters is considered collectively, if you are having liquid diet as well.

So, drink juice, have liquid diet, and the essential part take WATER. Enjoy Healthy and Excellent Health.

Daily Routine

Daily Routine

A daily routine for a 30mins for your-self creates magic. A proper/regular schedule is very important for the body and makes you fit for the entire day.

We start of with the Morning, with a walk of half - an hour. Even if you cannot do some workout for yourself, a 30mins walk would do it for you. It's important as well as necessary.

After the walk/workout, follow the following

Dont's after morning walk/workout

• Do not sit as soon as your walk is over.
• Do not drink water, give at least a gap of 20 mins.
• Do try to relax yourself, soon by sleeping.

Do's after morning walk/workout

• Drink/eat only after another 30mins.
• Relax your body by doing some normal work.

Once back to normal, have a nutricious b'fast, including some sprouts, milk, juice; just remember your entire day depends on your breakfast, so it has to be nutritious and sufficient. Then follow your meals(lunch and dinner - which I will discuss in balance diet). A 10-15 minutes walk after dinner is beneficial.

The Importance of Morning Walk

The Importance of Morning Walk

"A Healthy Mind Resides In A Healthy Body"

- that's a nice saying to start of this post with. If you stay fit, you will be able to do the impossible things in your day to day routine also. So, why not to start from the very beginning, i.e., the time when you get up.

Yaaaaaaa! I meant morning, when there is a beautiful SUNRISE, with cold wind blowing. That part of the world is totally amazing, and beautiful. So, why not to take advantage of the nature and gain sound health and peace through out the day.

MORNING WALK, is the best medicine for your body. A 30 minutes walk can lead you to stay young for your life, with all that charm in you.

If you can jog around for a bit then it's fabulous and will add more feathers to your charm. At least 30 mins of walk in a day leads a doctor away. And that is well said and proved(I am not going to mention the proof here, just kidding), but it helps to maintain the metabolic rate of the body, with the blood pressure level coming to normal for the patients, and a sense of comfortability.

If you have a very busy schedule and cannot give time for workouts. then definitely you need to go for a morning walk, and stay healthy.
