How to control Gas/Acidity

It is very rare people who do not have gas/acidity problem at least once in a life time. It is important that for anything, there will be a positive and negative side. Those people are succeeded in everything who lead life between these two sides. Those who lead like this, viz. in a moderate level are healthy and long lived in this world.  Somebody will be extreme type in any behavior and somebody will be below the moderate level. Their health will also be in fluctuation. But those who are in moderate level, their health will be the best. So we can choose Moderate level in life.

In this way, to control Gas or Acidity, we have to choose a moderate food habit. We must do some exercise or job. There are two types of food, we take daily. They are alkaline and acid types.  We can keep safe from gas/acidity if we do exercise and keep equilibrium of above mentioned habits. But how to keep this equilibrium?. We are taking alkaline foods and acid foods. Alkaline is good for avoiding gas. But acid food is also inevitable for body. So we can keep ratio as 75% alkaline foods and 25% acid foods. All fruits and some items in vegetables are alkaline foods. Non-veg foods and some veg items are acid foods. Now a days everybody knows fruits and vegetables are good.

How to form Gas/Acidity

  

Indigestion, excess digestive enzymes by using acid foods, without proper exercise or work, long time tension/strain. All these are caused to form gas/acidity. Following are the list of acid/alkaline foods. 

Alkaline foods

Banana, grapes, cherry, papaya, lemon, pineapple, tomorrow, cardamom, ginger, coconut, mustard, onion, garlic, pumpkin, brinjal, cabbage, like foods and vegetables.

Acid foods

Potato, egg, green piece, soya beans, oats, rice, sugar, milk, meat, fish, oils, bread, dal etc.

Confusing like a heart attack

Sometime gas/acidity may cause confusion whether it is a heart attack. We will be forced to go to doctor, fearing lest it is a heart attack.  But, somebody may be thinking that it will be only a gas trouble, and there may be chance that it must be a heart attack. Both are problamatic. Gas probably may effect stomach, chest, brain etc.  

Gas and heart burn

Gas forms when we eat acid foods and sit idle. If  we also suffer heart burn, it would be an uncomfortable condition.  Normally gas problems seen in those  who are rich, high lifestyles, fatty people, and those who are obese. Let us see how it happens.  From Esophagus, food travels to Stomach. When we eat food, if it is chewed properly, it would be easy for digestion. Anyhow, in the stomach, the digestion starts with the help of digestive enzymes. There is a valve between Esophagus and Stomach. As soon as the food enters into stomach, this valve closes automatically. This is normal function. But sometimes, this valve opens slightly. This causes the flow of Sulphuric Acid, digestive enzymes like Pepsin, Bile from Bile Duct, into the Esophagus. This results into a severe Heart Burn.

Gas/Acidity = Ulcer

If we control gas/acidity properly, after sometime this may convert into Ulcer. Because the digestive enzymes are the acids which can digest the foods. If the excess gas exists in the system, and if we do exercise or do hard work,   this acidity will disappear and we can gain health. Otherwise, what happens. By the excess acid, the soft membrane wall in the intestine may get inflamed and pored. This soft membrane is capable of bearing the heat of acids. But the normal skin cannot bear this heat. So, when this acid acts into these pores there will be inflammation to that skin. This is Ulcer. Once it has become Ulcer, it would be very painful if we eat spices.

How to get rid of Gas/Acidity problem

Eat alkaline foods like fruits and vegetables. Take easy digesting foods. But beware if you are having thyroid problem, do not always use Cabbage, Use small quantity of tomato, if you have kidney stone, gall bladder stone etc., Eat small quantity of fish items, and in fruits Apple, if you suffer from Piles. Do exercise and eat alkaline foods. Any type of cardio vascular/ aerobic exercises, like walking, running, swimming, cycling etc. are good enough. Yogasanas like Pavanamukthasan, Pranayama, Janusirasan, Halsasan, etc. are good. But do only under an experienced instructor. Remember, if somebody suffers from Hernia, Diarrhea, Hyper Thyroidism, do not practice Yogasana. For everybody cardio vascular/ aerobic exercises are good. If no relief from these lifestyles, rush to doctor and take proper treatment.

People normally take antacid tablets to control gas trouble. But instead of taking regularly these types of medicines, it would be better to do cardio vascular/ aerobic exercises and taking a moderate level of alkaline foods. Secondly, self medication is not good. Instead, try to be in good food habits. Always take a very small quantity food at night. If gas problem is a regular one, take food 3 hours before going to bed. In normal stage also take at least  one hour before bed time. For small gas problems, it is not necessary to go to a doctor. But if you suffer from stomach ache, throat ache, abnormal appetite, we must consult with a doctor.

If we do regular exercise or work, good food habit, free from tension, and understand the facts of our own body language and condition, we will be free from diseases.  

 

Mania

Everybody knows a fact that we need good mood to do or to speak. Mania is a part of condition of mind like mood disorders. There is unique level in every field like minimum level, maximum level and in between these levels, the central level is required level. The welness of mind and body, depends on this level and always good will be in the central or moderate level. If this level is out of boarder levels, viz, below the minimum and above the maximum, the problems start. We can see even in physical world, eg, if the electricity load will be more than required, the fuse wire will be cut by overload or if there is not enough electricity the bulbs will not light up. If the sun’s heat will be more or if temperature will be very low, there will be problem to life. In our body itself, so many problems are which we do not know, eg; if the sugar in the blood will be more, it would be a hyper glizemia and when it is low, it would be hypo glizemia. If the pressure in the blood is higher than required level, it would be hyper tension and when it is low, it would be hypo tension. If the water in body is low, there will be problem and when it is high also, there will be problem. Anyhow, anything what we need must be in normal level. Here in the case of mood also, the normal level of mood is important for normal level of mind.

See one of my experience. Once an young person joined in my office. As he was an admin person, ours were the same cabin. I noticed him from the begining, there was some abnormality in his all deeds. He was so talkative, restless, behaviour that feels he knows everything, many projects, phone calls, plans, impatient to anything, such types of actions were being done. Once I jokely, told him that “you are a half mad” (because if I told him seriously, it would affect his mind and this type of men, would never accept that they have got some problems). Actually he was a man with mania. Since he joined here, he had been going for interviews in other companies, once in a week. But he never passed interview till he was terminated after one year.

We are interested to see a doctor if we are suffering from any minor illness. But in the case of psychological illness, the public are least interested to cure it or to see a doctor. In the consequence, the unrecognized illness of mind is increased, such types of so many cases are among common men. The above said story is an example. These men face failures and hatred in life.

What is mania ?

We need a good sense to determine the things to be done and seen with all its real meaning. To do the same, we need good mood. If an adequate mood which we need, breaks or increased, a condition called mania will be formed in our mind. This inequality of mood, is mania.

Somebody tells, I do not have mood to do anything or there is a mood out. Actually, this is a common saying, because when the common people bored or getting lonely, they feel a boredom and so this can not be taken as mania or mood disorder. But somebody thinks more, or do more things, or showing exaggeration by unlimited phone calls, always busy busy, there will be a mood disorder. This is a hereditary illness, but it may also happen without heredity. Sometimes, this may been seen with depression and shown psychotic symptoms. This is known as manic depressive psychosis.

Mania may lead to depression also. This is known as bipolar depression. Depression also happens without mania and this known as unipolar depression.

Symptoms

Patient has plenty of ideas
Phone calls
Deeds without real sense
Projects
Watching TV, etc. etc. with high volume
Purchasing goods and thereby lavishness
Always busy. No free time.
Irritation.
Insomnia
Even if no sleep, no weakness.

The above said things are related to mania and not there will be also added some psychotic symptoms. Here in manic depressive psychosis, both symtoms will be shown. And there will be shown the symptoms of both also.

In this way, if you see anybody with the above symptoms, go to a doctor and instruct for a better treatment in the early stage. If it is done in early stage, we can develop a good personality and win in life.

Peace of mind and human brain

Peace of mind is an important thing in human’s life. But it is very difficult to achieve. There is a relation between our brain and peace of mind. It is very good if we could keep calmness in a job with pressurable situation. To keep the peace, we can do one thing is that we do retreat, prayer, meditation and yoga etc. The meaning of those things are to control our 5 senses of brain and thereby to achieve the tranquility. Is it not good to do things with calmness in a pressurable situation? One can control the speed of mind to achieve the power of mind and tranquility. That is the reason in Yoga, it is said that “power of mind depends upon the controlling the speed of mind”.

As we think, the mind is not an organ of body. It is purely a condition of thinking by the process of brain. Scientifically, it is the total work of brain. It may be just like as we see sky, or cloud. Our brain is like a super computer. It is made of neurons. Mind is a phenomen by the work of neurons. Our thoughts are transmitted by a process called neurotransmission in the neurons. It is like an electrical message. When one has got a new thought, there is a new transmission starts. When the human thoughts are good, the transmission would also be good. Whereas, if the transmission exceeds or decreases without control, the psychological problems will start.

In the neurons, there is part called dendrites. When the brain grows, this also develops. But to control its excess growth, there is process in the brain called pruning. This important process happens at the time of adolescence. This process is technically an eradication of unnecessary information and memory in the brain and this time is very useful to lay a foundation of fundamental and basic good behaviours in an individual’s life. Since the adolescence is termed as an important time in human’s life. Here the meditation ways play an important role to fulfill these all. Dendrites are made like the wiring in a super computer. When there is any defect in the wiring, the machine also will be in defect. Same way, if the dendrites are in defect, psychological/psychiatrical defects starts. If theses defects corrects in the appropriate time, the individual grows perfectly and becomes normal person. Here the meditation ways helps people a lot and thereby the good neurotransmission paths develop. Now this way, it helps people to survive all the temptations from the society.

Some of the great sayings about the peace mentioned below;

“I serve my master when I stand and sit and thereby I get peace of mind.”
- Guru Nanak

“In the beggining, meditation is very hard and it feels very comfortable if we complete it”
- Swami Vivekanandan

“Mind is the source of peace and sorrow. Peace comes from mind”
- Shree Buddha

“I give my peace to you, it is not like world gives you. Be not your heart under trouble and not in fear.”
- Jesus Christ

Strictly our brain should be in peace, if we want to have peace and tranquility. To achieve this point of view, our life and good thinking should match and we should prepare ourself brain to a point of impecable one.

SWINE FLU

Recently people are panic of Swine Flu which infection comes faster and everybody keeps covered mouth and nose with mask or towel. But after the real understanding of how to infect others, the usage of masks and towels are reduced. The awareness of the flu from the media, doctors etc. helped the people more how to save themselves. The spreading of virus when people sneezing, coughing will go upto a distance of 1 meter, according to a doctor. The fact is that the patient should wear masks and towels, whenever sneezing or coughig, or even normal time. It will save others those who are not having flu. The usage of mask or towel will reduce our immunity power and if we do not use it, contrarily if we do not use the same, it will increase immunity power to our body. Actually in our air the virus is already there and regularly our body is making anti-bodies against that virus. Only infants and older people are in danger zone for which they have to take care wearing masks. Secondly doctors and patient should wear it. Anyhow flues are various types (not only swine flu) and it spreads if we do not take care. We should note one thing that the masks which is available in the market, is not suitable for preventing the virus. It should be N95 Masks. Secondly the masks are having lifetime of one time use only.

When virus invented firstly in 1987, it was seen only in pigs. It was not spreading like today. Because of so many reasons, it came to man also. Now this virus spreads from one man to other man. That is the main reason of panic conditions of the society.

GO HEALTHY

When you read, go healthy and when you write, go healthy. When you take fruits and vegetables, it nourishes health, psychologically and physiologically. Ginger, Garlic, Turmeric, these three simple food items which we take daily, fight against Cancer and lead to healthy life, watching against other sickness also.

An apple daily, keeps the doctor away. This is a saying, but having fact, which every body knows. But now a days, we get only fruits and vegetables cultivated with the help of fertilisers submerged with some chemicals. Any how it is better than that to have the red meats always.

HEALTH IS WEALTH

Anybody can do anything if he/she is healthy. Anybody can think anything if he/she is healthy. Anybody can achieve anything if he/she is healthy. Some tips of health and base of life are given here:

What are the ways to control health and slow aging

Aging is a biologic phenomenon which gradually happen. It involves basic changes that occur within living cells. The key to halting or reversing the aging process is our understanding of the life processes. It is most encouraging, therefore, to discover that we are beginning to understand the precise manner in which our bodies function. Body is a machine where the metabolic activities are being done, but when the cells within the body begin to start ruin the aging starts.

To extend the human life span is not so easy, as longvity proof should be seen by the public. Someday it will become possible to extend the human life span is common thought of anxious people. This kind of prediction is not fullfilled still in this age.

For conquering aging, the science has not yet been seen its perfection. It will never be solved unless people decide that they want to conquer aging - that they want to extend their lives.

Actually the basic reason of aging is the changes and changes that occur within living cells, and at last these changes comes upto completion and when all the living cells come to completion of changes or ruin, the death comes.
