Breathing Therapy

February 19, 2011

The nose has a left and a right side; we use both to inhale and exhale. Actually they are different; you would be able to feel the difference.
The right side represents the sun, left side represents the moon. During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe. You will be relieved of your headache

If you feel tired, just reverse the process. Close your left nose and breathe through your right nose. After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed.

Right side represents 'hot', so it gets heated up easily, left side represents 'cold'.
Invariably women breathe through their left nose, so they get "cooled off" faster.
Men breathe with their right nose, so they get worked up.

Have you ever noticed the moment we wake up, the way we breathe? Left or right? ? If you breathe in rapid speedthrough the left nostril you tend to get tired. So, close your left nostril and use your right nostril for breathing, you will get refreshed quickly.
This can be taught to kids, but it is more effective when practiced by adults.
My friend used to suffer from severe headaches and had to frequently visit the doctor..

He took painkillers, did not work. Hence he
to try out the breathing therapy. He closed his right nose and breathed through his left nose.

In less than a week, his headaches were gone! He continued the exercise for one month.
This alternative natural therapy without medication is something that he has experienced.
So, why not give a try?

Scientists at the University of Warwick in England

discovered a new form of ultra-bad cholesterol

called MGmin-LDL, that increases the risk of heart

disease. The finding could lead to new class of anti-

cholesterol treatments.

The super-sticky low-density lipoprotein (LDL), MGmin-LDL, is often found in old people and those with Type 2 diabetes.The fatty material is stickier than the common form of LDL or bad cholesterol, making it more likely to stick to artery walls.

The discovery provides an explanation for the enhanced risk of coronary heart disease in people with diabetes. It would result into the development of new anti-cholesterol drugs.

The MGmin-LDL, which has sugary molecules that are smaller and denser than those of normal LDL, easily gets attached to artery walls, providing a starting point for the build-up of dangerous fatty plaques. As the deposits incrases, they narrow arteries and reduce blood flow. Eventually they can rupture, triggering a blood clot that causes a heart attack or stroke.

To investigate how it interacts with other molecules in the body, the scientists created human MGmin-LDL in the laboratory by adding extra sugar groups to LDL and allowing it to transform into a more stickier form.

The new finding explained why the widely-prescribed diabetes drug, metformin, appears to reduce the danger of heart attack. Metformin is known to decrease blood sugar levels, and may block the transformation of normal LDL into even more damaging MGmin-LDL.

No more will the world face mosquito related endemics. A very interesting story indeed! A relief to millon population. Does this mean that man will no longer suffer from dengue, Malaria etc. Scientist from the University of California has discovered a gas that would kill mosquitoes. Interesting! What if it fails the scientific tests .
