Evion Tablets and Joint Pains {Health}

Swathy · February 2, 2012 · 43 Comments

So, yesterday, I was just talking to my mom [She’s on a visit to me] and suddenly, she asks this question that “Why are you not taking the Evion tablets? You have so many of them!!!”. That was how our discussion started. And, she told me that she had taken scores of Evion in 90’s to get rid of her muscle and leg aches. And, they really helped her. So, I thought that would make a good post for everyone to be aware of.
But, before anything, let me be very clear that I am not endorsing Evion or any supplements for that matter. In fact, I am downright against popping scores of pills into your mouth. And, I would never advise anyone to do that unless t has been recommended by a doctor. This post is just for information and not recommendation. And, if you are facing certain same issues, it would do good to increase your Vitamin E intake instead of simply taking the pills.
What is Evion?
Vitamin E dissolves fat and is used for treating diabetes, preventing cancer, treating neurological disorders and also helps with problems related to the heart like hardening of the blood vessels,heart inflammation and other heart diseases. Vitamin E also helps protect skin from effects of sun exposure. It is an anti-oxidant and fights the free radicals getting generated in the body.So, that was about Vitamin E and Evion tablets are Vitamin E supplements which are generally safe for intake but excess of everything is harmful. Excess of Vitamin E reverses all the benefits it provides so it is better to be in moderation.

Food Sources of Vitamin E

That, Vitamin E is really good for the body apart from keeping the skin soft and supple. So, regular intake of Vitamin E in proper doses in a day helps in a healthy body. But, as I have already discouraged intake of supplements, try to fulfill the daily needs of Vitamin E through intake of proper nutrition.
Sources of Vitamin E are all kinds of nuts and beans. Nut butters and oil like peanut butter, sesame butter, almond butter, peanut oil, olive oil, etc. also provide high doses of Vitamin E. Green vegetables, tomatoes and mango are also rich in Vitamin E.I would also like to add that deficiency of Vitamin E is very rare so if you really think that it is happening with you, please always consult a doctor first before taking any kind of supplements. It is not a healthy procedure to fulfill nutritional deficiencies by taking supplements unless your body has some major issue.

Do you take Evion?

How do Essential Oils affect our Health? {Health}

Swathy · January 26, 2012 · 15 Comments

I have been interested in Essential Oils since quite a while though I had not an idea how could I lay my hands on good quality essential oils. More about that in some other post but I wanted to discuss today about how Essential Oils affect our health.
What are Essential Oils? 
I have already discussed a bit about Essential Oils in one of my previous posts. So, when we think about EO’s, the thing which automatically comes into our minds is fragrance or the aroma and its therapeutic effects on our health.
Essential Oils have a huge amount of impact on the health of a person not only the skin and hair. So, one can use essential oils for simple problems ranging from insomnia and migraines to beating cough and cold and bronchitis and some other respiratory problems.
How Essential Oils affect our EQ?
Whatever else EO’s may be good for, the main usage of essential oils comes to help you with your emotional quotient. Some EO’s are great to relive stress, anxiety, some are great for improving confidence in person, some improve the energy levels in the body and some are great for depression treatment and many more. Why is this so?
It has more to do with the sense of “smell”. Human beings have five senses – smells, taste, see, feel and hear. But, only one of these senses links to the brain directly and that is the “Smell”. The sense of “Smell” directly goes to the emotional center of our brain and controls our emotions. The other side effects of this “Smell” are that the brains sends signal to another part of the brain which controls the heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels and all those physiological needs of the body. So, consequently, when you “Smell”, not only it affects your emotions but also the physiological needs of the body. That is one of the main uses of perfumes as far as I can garner – to uplift the senses and the spirits.
So, I hope, I did clear out certain things about why Aromatherapy works? Looking forward o your opinions!!! And, yes, I am gonna bug you on the DIY Thursdays in February with some DIY’s using Essential Oils. You have been forewarned 🙂

Control your Craving for just 10 minutes {Health}

Swathy · January 19, 2012 · 6 Comments

Weight Loss has again become an iddue after all the binging during the Christmas and then, New Year and then, Lohri and Bogi and Pongal and Makar Sankranti so I have a simple tip for you today to keep a check on your weight and not go off the course to weight loss.
Scientists have found that a craving for a certain food typically lasts for about 10 minutes. (Source:Yahoo Lifestyle)
I don’t remember where I have read this but the article said that if you are able to contain yourself for just 10 minutes without giving into your craving then you will no longer feel the craving. It is those crucial 10 minutes you just have to endure. So, whether it is a pizza, burger or any dessert you are craving, better take an apple or a banana at the same time and your craving will pass over.
Another way to control the cravings is to increase the fiber content in your diet. Eat lots of fiber and it will make you feel full and you will really not feel like binging.
How do you control your cravings?
