Does aging scare you?

Let’s face it. We are living in a society where people consider process of aging as something to be ashamed about. And, it is also something that people don’t want to experience. This has to do with how changing physical appearances and wrinkles make people self-conscious about them. However, getting older is inevitable and has its pros and cons.Many people are intrigued by the idea that some life goals are needed to be achieved at certain age, such as getting degree, job, getting married or having kids etc. Being a woman, I somehow agree with the fact that our biological clock is ticking away and how crucial it is to have children at younger age than latter. But, I don’t agree about other goals having to be accomplished at a certain age. After all, age is nothing but a number. And, a number cannot define who we are, and what we want to do with our lives, right?For those who lack motivation can take inspiration from these examples to live the best life at their later years.At the age of 50, Leo Goodwin launched GEICO in Washington, D.C. This entrepreneur came up with the idea of direct dealing with the customers rather than brokers. Similarly, David Sanders started his franchise KFC at the age of 62. Despite the fact he faced his father’s demise at an early age, got terminated from several jobs, never stopped him to evolve and grow. Even, his trait of never giving up led him to immense success.So, try to live every day as it comes to you. Go with the flow. Don’t let the age (which is merely a number) hold you back from doing what you want. Don’t let age become a barrier to your future goals or career. Stay confident regarding your abilities, the way you look, and the way you embrace new responsibilities.

Black Seed – A Medicinal Dynamite

 

The Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) is believed to have said: “In the black seed is healing for every disease except death.” (Sahih Bukhari)

Yes you read it RIGHT. It is a blessed seed, can cure all diseases  except death. In Islam, it was told 1400 years ago much before than the science facts. Physically ,the seeds are deep black and sharp-cornered. In taste, it’s pleasantly bitter and negligibly pungent.

Lets talk about its medicinal effects.

Natively, black seed was employed to treat migraines and allergies, but latest findings have unveiled that these tiny black seeds are successful in destroying cancer cells. As scientific studies and case reports begin to add up, it appears that total eradication of HIV may no longer be a dream, but a reality that is coming into focus before our very eyes.

According to numerous scientific studies and case reports, it seems that complete suppression of HIV is no more a nightmare instead a fact that is bringing in the crowd of a hundred admiring eyes. In the Nigerian case, published in 2013, all symptoms of HIV disappeared within 20 days of kicking off the Black Seed remedy. Due to this blessed seed, “HIV” and “Cure” now co-exist in our sentence.

Besides, fumigation of black seeds is helpful in treating respiratory disorders. In addition, it alleviates fever and standardise the secretions of stomach  which is consequential in the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus. If black seeds are ingested along with honey, then it results in casting off urinary and bladder stones too.

Do you have sore gums?

Go and boil some black seeds in vinegar solution to apply on gums and teeth, yeah thats the one remedy I need it too!!

It treats Jaundice if taken with milk and if taken with water , like as a drug , is functional in treating piles, which is very common in obese people.

Hope you found this interesting, and let me know if you have any natural remedies too!

How to overcome the habit of unsatisfaction!! (3 min read)

The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.     – St. Jerome

Don’t know if its only me or anyone else who feels the same way that whatever path of success I am in, I never feel satisfied, feels like there is always some thing missing, something could be better than that..AHHH! Literally this feeling leaves you as “total failure”.

What REASONS I unearth for this unfortunate emotion is:

Being Unthankful To ALLAH

Devil or Satan wants us humans to be ungrateful to Allah, in fact this is one of satan’s primary mission to make human beings unappreciated to our God.

Keep Your Heart Healthy

All is well when heart is feeling well. According to National Health Service, follow some good health tips for heart here: http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Healthyhearts/Pages/Healthy-heart-tips.aspx

The NHS guides us to steer clear of smoking, be full of get-up-and-go, persist in being healthy weight and the list goes on..

Quit Digging Holes

Stop thinking about your doomed past events, they are for no good in present. Understand that it’s over and you have a new situation you want to focus on. Whenever you go off-track in a problem or the past or future in your thoughts then,  breathe with your tummy for two minutes and just concentrate on the air coming in and out. It will hush your body down and drive your mind back into the existing moment again. Then you get go aiming on what is most crucial for you afresh.

Don’t Intend For Perfection 

Life was never, and never will be perfect so that you could end up happily. Question to ask yourself is: Does perfection in any task lead to your satisfaction? If it’s YES then stop over-burdening your own self.. as things can go with good enough approach too!!

Also happiness will be troublesome to smell out with unnecessary perfectionism. Spotting the performance beam at an nonhuman level usually assists to low self-esteem too.

5 troubles for a pregnant lady (5 min read)

As soon as they are announced with the fact of future mom-to-be,  almost every women starts anticipating radiant, charismatic glow and drop-dead gorgeous bump that comes with pregnancy but not to forget the other upshot relatively. Here I have got the rundown on whole ball of wax YOU have been craving to ask about pregnancy affairs.

1. Nausea and Vomiting

In obedience to Beverley O’Brien research article, As many as 70 percent of all pregnant women face nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, and 28 percent declare that symptoms accounts them to modify their way of living which they did in routine. Nausea and vomiting can cause SERIOUS lifestyle clampdown on pregnant women that leaves with short-lived and long-lived consequences for them and their household.

Solution – Lying down and diet alterations

2. Overactive Bladder and Urinary Incontinence

Women with indications of an overactive bladder are on the whole restricted in their mobility, whereas urge incontinence turn you in feeling of shame and uneasiness. However, many women found to be molested by these symptoms, just a minor ones consulted their physician for them.

The currency of symptoms stress incontinence (39%), urge incontinence (15%) and an overactive bladder (12%) is high in this young population, says Prof. Dr. C.H. Van Der Vaart.

3. Backache

During pregnancy, the knots in your body naturally become oozy and lengthen to prepare you for hard labour, results in over-burdening the joints of your lower back and pelvis, which is the basis of backache.

Solution – 

• Stay away from up-raising massive objects
• Incline your knees and Reserve your back LINEAR when lifting something from the ground.
• Shun away buckling your spine by first moving your feet while turning around.
• Wear no heel shoes to keep your weight to be evenly split.

4.  Cramps and Swelling

Cramp is the abrupt, Knife-like stinging in calf muscles/feet bothers at night-time usually. Swelling in Ankles, feet and hands is ubiquitous in pregnancy as body is grasping more fluid than average. The consistent swelling isn’t subversive to you or your baby rather than uneasy and your shoes can feel compact.

Solution – 

• Rise your feet up as much as while pregnancy to soothe swelling.
• Bow and extend your foot vigorously up and down 30 times to calm cramps.

5. Fainting, Lethargy, Temperature and Sleep

Expecting women often goes in a state of lacking physical strength owing to hormonal imbalance eventuate in this scenario. You are probably to undergo dizzy and pale every time standing too hastily from a chair or out of a bath, but it can also hit on when you are lying flat.

In the course of gestation, you’re within the bounds to feel warmer than routine due to increase in blood supply to the skin. You would also get into sweat more.

In final trimester, when extra weight is add-on, feeling dog-tired won’t impair you or baby, but it can make life feel more burdensome. Make sure to get as much rest as you can.

Solution –

• Take bath regularly to cool down yourself.
• Do your utmost to guard your physical health by gulping a healthy diet and gain plenty of rest and sleep.

Studies do recommend that constant, aerobic exercise  (exercise that put up the needs of oxygen) at the time of pregnancy aids in upgrading physical fitness and body. Expecting women should drag on with their familiar physical venture for as long as feels comfy, and knock yourself to be vital on routine, e.g. by walking. Swimming is a particularly suitable form of exercise, even though it is fitting to elude stiff physical activity during pregnancy.

Genesis of Worldwide Water Scarcity

By Hira Nawaz

Water is being depleted many, many times faster than nature can replenish it.
— Maude Barlow

If 71% of the earth’s surface is submerged by water, why is the globe promptly facing a water scarcity? As a matter of fact, saltwater oceans make up 97.5% of the water on planet Earth. Freshwater reports for a minor 2.5% of this, 68.7% of which is confined in glaciers. That means 30.1% of the world’s 2.5% freshwater is available for human consumption.

We, as HUMANS, can survive without technology and expensive smartphones but A BIG NO without water , that is, H2O!!! Today, one-third of the world’s population lives under water-stress (conditions which affect socio-economic development).

In this article, focus is on majorly where we as world are heading upto, this issue mainly involves overusage of resources, how future of water is interposed among regional boundaries and power.

From California to the Middle East, cosmic areas of the world are desiccating up and a billion people have no opportunity to safe drinking water due to decades of mismanagement and overuse. US intelligence is giving advance notice of the dangers of shrinking water resources and authorised people say the world is ‘standing on a steep rock face’.

According to research, by 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population may face water deficit and ecosystems around the world will expreience even more. That was all the world statistics and the critical condition appearing right now and will get worse in the coming future days.

Now I am going to scrutinize those cores which are the main reason behind this scarcity of water and how water crisis situation can take the edge off. The first cause is incredibly huge rise in world population in the last 50 years, increasing the demand of food, shelter and clothing with the further stress on freshwater consumption.

Number 2, Climate Change, is an event that cant be denied as its outcomes have become increasingly apparent worldwide. According to NASA and NOAA statistics, 2015 was the hottest. As the earth’s temperature is persistently rising, noteworthy impact on fresh water resources has observed. Due to temperature rise, evaporation increases, irregularly resulting in droughts (a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water).The U.N. agency uttered that on 21 july 2016, a temperature of 54 degrees Celsius (129 degrees Fahrenheit) reported in Kuwait  was a new top level for the eastern hemisphere and Asia. As per Thomson Reuters Foundation, extreme weather affairs are occuring more often and intense after record temperatures in the first half of 2016. Besides critical is the fact that people get through the heat by using more energy for cooling, thus moreover diminishing the world’s resources.

Furthermore, high temperatures are also thawing glacial ice at an unprecedented rate.  Once these glaciers have defrosted away, they can’t be fixed. Areas that once were depended on glaciers for freshwater will then have to search for other sources.

Climate change may also reinstate water security challenges in countries that for a hundred years have blessed with reliable water supplies. Most of the developing world will have to survive with droughts and/or the growing risk of flooding.

The Enterprise Bridge passes over a section of Lake Oroville in 2011 (left) and 2014 (right) in Oroville, California, which is experiencing “exceptional” drought.

The technique of bottled water preparation involves immense  energy, yield mainly by burning coal, natural gas, oil and other fossil fuels.So, when we drink bottled water remember that at the sametime we are also using energy and contribute to climate change. In addition, bottled water is a minor but real giver to greenhouse gas emissions, because it takes fuel to make plastic bottles and ship them around the country (and even the world). This is pointless when you find that bottled water is often just filtered tap water.

A lot can be done to lesses emissions, avoid climate change and guard our threatened freshwater sources. Using less energy is a great job to start. This can be done by switching off lights, shielding our homes to preserve heat and air conditioning, driving more fuel efficient cars or drive less. Cars and light trucks (like vans and SUVs) are charged for about 20 percent of U.S. energy-related carbon emissions. In addition, eating meatless just one day a week can have a noteworthy impact on environmental resources seeing as industrial meat production has serious greenhouse gas emissions associated with it.soon add If the above mentioned points are followed then each individual can smash on greenhouse gases.
