I dug deeper, *read articles,* spoke to life coaches but nothing made sense. 
*At last my doctor* friend gave me the answer which put all my questions and doubts to rest.
*I implemented* those and will say I am *a lot happier person.*

She said, *there are four hormones* which determine a *human's happiness -*
1. *Endorphins,*
2. *Dopamine,*
3. *Serotonin,*
and 
4. *Oxytocin.*
It is important we *understand these hormones,*
as we *need all four* of them *to stay happy.*

Let's look at the *first hormone* the *Endorphins.*
*When we exercise, the body releases Endorphins.*
This hormone helps the body cope with the pain of exercising. We then *enjoy exercising* because these Endorphins will make us happy.
*Laughter is* another good way of *generating Endorphins.*
We need to spend *30 minutes exercising* every day, read or *watch funny stuff* to get our day's dose of Endorphins.

*The second hormone is Dopamine.*
In our journey of life, we accomplish many *little and big tasks, it releases* various levels of *Dopamine.*
*When we get appreciated for our work at the office or at home,* we feel accomplished and good, that is *because it releases Dopamine.*
This also explains *why* most *housewives* are *unhappy* since they *rarely* get *acknowledged* or appreciated *for their work.* Once, we join work, we *buy* a car, a house, the latest gadgets, a *new house* so forth. In each instance, it *releases Dopamine* and we become happy.
Now, do we realize why we become happy when we shop?

*The third hormone Serotonin* is released when we *act in a way that benefits others.*
When we transcend ourselves and give back to others or *to nature or to the society, it releases Serotonin.* Even,
providing useful information on the internet like *writing information* blogs, answering peoples questions on Quora or *Facebook groups will generate Serotonin.*
That is *because* we will use our *precious time to help other* people via our answers or articles.

*The final hormone is Oxytocin,*
is released *when* we become *close to other human* beings. 
When we *hug our friends* or family *Oxytocin is released.*
The *"Jadoo Ki Jhappi"* from Munnabhai *does really work.*
Similarly, when we *shake hands* or put our *arms around* someone's shoulders, various amounts of *Oxytocin is released.*

So, it is simple, we have to *exercise every day* to get *Endorphins,*
we have to *accomplish* little *goals* and get *Dopamine,*
we *need to* be *nice* to others to *get  Serotonin* and 
finally *hug our kids,*
friends, and families to *get Oxytocin* and we will *be happy.* 
*When we are happy, we can deal* with our challenges and *problems better.*

Now, we can understand *why we need to hug a child who has a bad mood.*

So to.
*make your child* more and more *happy* day by day ...

1. *Motivate him to play* on the ground
*-Endorphins*

2. *Appreciate your child* for his small big achievements 
*-Dopamine*

3. *inculcate sharing* habit through you to your child 
*-Serotonin*

4. *Hug* your child

People living in the backwards areas are not getting proper benefits of good educational as they lack money and other resources. However, some new and effective strategies has been planned and implemented by the government to resolve the problems in such areas. Education improves the mental status and change the way of thinking of a person. It brings confidence and helps to convert the thinking into the action to go ahead and get success and experience.


Without education life becomes aimless and tough. So we should understand the importance of the education and its involvement in our daily lives. We should encourage the education in the backward areas by letting them know the benefits of education. Disabled people and poor people are equally]]>

Looks were secondary. Family strength and money were matter of prime concern. Dowry was matter of status. Bride in particular had no voice. Requirement of education was abysmally low for marriage proposals, rather it mattered less or none. Taking out marriage procession from one place to other was not only cumbersome but also full of dangers because of rough and secluded terrain full of wild animals and robbers. Dowry was prevalent social stigma still status symbol, for groom side and forced bride side to accede to their demands. No resistance from either bride side or society to demands of dowry and brides parents had to accede to the demands as proclaimed. Gradually perception of life and requirements changed.

Foray of education into life changed the climate of marriage where consent of both bride and groom started gaining equal weight. Colours of life changed so is the choice of contenders. Selection of choicest life partner became virtuous and concept of love marriages started replacing arranged marriages. With influx of education specially in girls, changed scene of marriages with consent of bride for marriage gained recognition. Choice of both bride and groom were of equal importance for the marriage being solemnised.

Coming to the present times, the modern era with the advent of Internet, life shifted its origin. Girls education in Higher studies changed gender bias and brides choice became obvious and important. The brides began franchising their choice and prioritised with demands on parity. Judging what is right or wrong is not the area of concern but fresh lease of turnaround created out of education and demands of parity subdued other obnoxious practices that gripped the society for years into shackles of backwardness.

Equality bounced over gender bias and in extreme cases, brides started shelving undesirable marriage proposals. These conditions emanated of financial independence that girls acquired of late.
Meanwhile a parallel system of match making through computerised kundli came into existence.

All astronomical calculation mattered to masses for nuptial knots. With the progression of time and medical technology, a voice emerged amongst the system to evaluate medical history of either of two, bride and groom before entering into marriage. Family history of both started gaining importance for the life style diseases such as diabetes, cardiac problems and blood group tests for future of their offsprings.

There are parameters of medical parlance that will decide future course of marriages and its concept. Instead of matching kundli as practiced, brides and groom will ask for all major tests for AIDS, cardiac prone tests, diabetes, thyroid and all major profiles such as renal, lipid etc and tests related to life style diseases. If found compatible, marriages will proceed. Other parameters such as education, smartness and money shall also become secondary and financial independence of both bride and groom will carry weightage.

This will pave the way to absolute turnaround in society and health, equality and financial independence will fast replace lagna matching, a must parameter for matrimony, a legitimate change for healthy society in the times to come.]]>

To my surprise, this assemblage serve no genuine purpose but routine conglomeration of friends and relatives to discuss general issues. People are keeping so busy with their routine that at times they don't make it to such gatherings.

May be we find an alternate solution to this customary note. The close relatives are the real sufferers to the situation risen out of demise and they actually feel the real pinch. Although the deceased is no more available physically to measure the level of despair of attendee 's physical presence, still it is formal routine of them to show their physical presence, solidarity & concern to the deceased.The society seems more concerned about the deceased after demise of the person.

It is something like someone is more concerned about parents after they leave the world than when they actually existed. We are a lot of hypocrites to be there merely to show our physical presence rather than actual concern for the deceased. My mind still surround my thoughts to find a solution to this particular situation coming our way everyday. May be we find some solution to this seemingly easy but tough question. The society by and large follow what is shown to them.

The customs and rituals which don't vibe well with the changed face of the time should either be curtailed or dismissed for not being pertinent to the present world. People are occupied today grossly into their business and other commitments and time is a big issue for every working individual.

To shelve time for such third day congregation in today 's world in particular to accommodate is not only difficult but also undesirable. We can show our deep gratitude towards departed soul by planting a tree in the name of them and nurture it through life . If we are blessed enough economically, we must shoulder responsibility of a poor's education.

By the name of departed soul, we can create schemes helping helpless and downtrodden people. This will be our real tribute to departed soul and it will establish his remembrance permanently in our memory for a longer run rather than a customary show of gratitude.

We can arrange religious sermon/bhajans to pay homage to the departed soul on next public holiday. It would be convenient for majority of people to participate and be part of final tribute to someone close.]]>

We come across people living by the roadside purely by virtue of their birth. Had they been born to the parents of repute, life for them could garner ease & comforts. We don't see any specific reason behind their being there except that they were born to a specific roadside family. These conditions are purely by the very physical birth .

The object being their in the situation without any choice. Similarly, domestic dog with higher breed stay in some royal family with care and comfort. Why that a road side dog mete out poor treatment from people while a royal breed gets welcome home of high family. A royal dog leads far superior life than a person born near the road side. This is where virtues of life do exist. The very contribution of person to get the life of choice is purely incidental and had no bearing over person's own efforts.

The ordinance of life doesn't stop here. It unearths many more incidents that happen by your choice or without choice.

The life 's mystery can still open pandora box of surprises with person taking birth in a royal family and be still devoid of enjoying royalty. A person born to the poorest of parents can eschew poverty and can lead life royale. You can born poor but you can die rich. Your efforts and sheer luck when combined can reverse fortunes.

If God is willing, tables can always turn to your favour. Your efforts are also part of God 's grace and your achievements alone don't make your life but hand of God does. With all your acts, you can just embrace levels of success but if you are defined to touch heights, no one can stop. This being mysteries of life unfold one can never read and ordain.]]>

meaning that once again I will search my house judiciously to find out where my parents used to keep sorrows hiding. This clearly reflects that within their hidden sorrows lies the doors of happiness of kids. They bury their sorrows deep within and make sure child doesn't get iota of inkling of it.
Parents can stretch any length to see to it that child 's demands are met with and that too without asking any favour in return. They make supreme sacrifices in life to align with the life of their kids. If the demand by a kid is beyond parents reach to accomplish, the frustration level of parents is inconsolable.
The biggest irony of life is that we give undue importance to our kids who in future may or may not give to our cause and we leave our parents in lurch who laid their entire life unconditionally for our happiness.
The life cycle keeps rolling with many examples of parents leading a painful, pathetic life despite their children staging high status in society. We need to keep reminders specially with context of Indian society that one can repay all the debts but can't subdue even a fraction of what parents have done for them in life. We must ensure that parents be handled with care because our childhood has seen many such incidences which has crossed the level of tolerance of our parents but they still ignored it. We must build attribute to increase our level of tolerance to that level if not more, to ignore troubles erupted due to their old age disabilities, with utter patience. As our childhood passed its version without any problems hats off to parents sacrifices, we must ensure smooth sailing of their old age with equanimity. Old age replicates childhood and as a child needs all special care so is the aged people needs pure compassion. All other relations have a substitute but parents can't be replicated.

Shamanism encompasses the doctrine that shamans are intermediaries or messengers between the human world and the spirit worlds. Shamans are said to treat ailments/illness by mending the soul.

Alleviating traumas affecting the soul/spirit restores the physical body of the individual to balance and wholeness. The shaman also enters supernatural realms or dimensions to obtain solutions to problems afflicting the community. Shamans may visit other worlds/dimensions to bring guidance to misguided souls and to ameliorate illnesses of the human soul caused by foreign elements. The shaman operates primarily within the spiritual world, which in turn affects the human world. The restoration of balance results in the elimination of the ailment.

Shamanic beliefs and practices have attracted the interest of scholars from a wide areas of knowledge. Stories of spirits malevolent or benevolent is a subject of research but since ages, our life 's existence to some extent revolves around this interesting aspect of life.Nothing concrete seems evident, though some claim to have gone viz a viz with spirits and had face to face deliberations with them. Hard to believe though but subject creates interest because it relates to our very existence in this world and seems to have some connect, though a dicey proposition. The spirit world is having human bondage with the existing world and researchers having done lot of research to find out implication of spirits and its different avatars in humanity. The basic question still stands with whether these supernatural powers does exist??]]>

The only factor that can give some solace to these aged genre is by managing financial stability. They must accrue enough finances in their coffers which can take care of them in the times of need and medical emergencies later. Money at this juncture plays major role as pillar does to a building. Money has become necessity to get medical attention in modern times albeit can't replace personal and physical touch of near kith and kin. It can for sure mould and soften estranged and distanced relatives and friends to your help. A bit of attention is ensured with its abundance at the back of your call and timely help is sought if it stand besides you hard and strong.

With every human soul to pass through this ordeal once in lifetime, each one of us must remain ready physically, mentally and financially to hedge against the impending trouble.
We can achieve physical strength by being regular in brisk walk and regular exercise during good times and that will pay rich dividends in later life.

Monetary strength can be made better through timely investments and taking cover through best available medical insurance.

Either way, your good behaviour can be to your great asset in the times of crisis. Do good to others and God will do good to you. It is not how old you are but how you are old!!!]]>

There is dependence of one segment over other and as a resultant entire populace is under duress created of situation.

Government will have to take immediate remedial measures for the entire economy with provision of tax relief sops, keeping vigil on inflation, decrease the bank interest rate etc to boost the industry, business and economy. Government must facilitate jobs for the youth of the country. Agricultural sector needs impetus and all possible help must be accorded to farmers who are backbone of the nation. Government will have to create confidence in public that imminent time is good for general mass. Poor and downtrodden should be accorded financial assistance for immediate survival because daily wages labour is not getting jobs in the uncertain market. Daily wage labour with many mouths to fend everyday finding it hard to find work these days. Government run schemes must be introduced to create more job opportunities to daily wage labourers. Overall scenario is of panic though a temporary setback was expected of sudden demonetisation. In order to put country in order, premier of the country has to take tough decisions which may suit some while detract others. You can't please everyone. If you do so, you are sure to fail. A Time bound and transparent decision may hit people and governance simultaneously but in a longer run, it may prove conducive and wholesome.

People need to understand what is good for them and what is bad. Afterall we have to grow high with other economies of the world and that can happen with every effort of each and every citizen of the country.]]>

Government will have to take immediate remedial measures for the entire economy with provision of tax relief sops, keeping vigil on inflation, decrease the bank interest rate etc to boost the industry, business and economy. Government must facilitate jobs for the youth of the country. Agricultural sector needs impetus and all possible help must be accorded to farmers who are backbone of the nation. Government will have to create confidence in public that imminent time is good for general mass. Poor and downtrodden should be accorded financial assistance for immediate survival because daily wages labour is not getting jobs in the uncertain market. Daily wage labour with many mouths to fend everyday finding it hard to find work these days. Government run schemes must be introduced to create more job opportunities to daily wage labourers. Overall scenario is of panic though a temporary setback was expected of sudden demonetisation. In order to put country in order, premier of the country has to take tough decisions which may suit some while detract others. You can't please everyone. If you do so, you are sure to fail. A Time bound and transparent decision may hit people and governance simultaneously but in a longer run, it may prove conducive and wholesome.

People need to understand what is good for them and what is bad. Afterall we have to grow high with other economies of the world and that can happen with every effort of each and every citizen of the country.]]> https://frontdesk.co.in/forum/showthread.php?tid=2247 Wed, 08 Feb 2017 07:34:11 +0000 sanjay]]> https://frontdesk.co.in/forum/showthread.php?tid=2247

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood. When your heart is beating & pumping blood, your blood pressure is the highest. This numeric is called systolic pressure. In between beats, when your heart is at rest, your blood pressure falls. This numeric is called diastolic pressure.
Your blood pressure reading uses both these numbers. The systolic number comes above the diastolic number. (Eg. 120/80 is normal BP)


    Blood Pressure Category                                                   Systolic                                           Diastolic

Normal                                                                               less than 120             And                less than 80   

Prehypertension                                                                120-139                     Or                   80-89

High Blood Pressure                                                          140 – 159                   Or                   90 – 99
(Hypertension) Stage 1


High Blood Pressure                                                         160 or higher                 Or                 100 or higher 
Hypertension) Stage 2     

our blood pressure doesn’t stay the same all the time. It drops while you sleep and increases when you are awake. It also rises when you’re excited or nervous. Under normal conditions, if the numbers stay above normal, you’re at risk for health problems.
How Overweight Increases the Risk of High Blood Pressure

Being overweight and/or obese is a major risk factor leading to high blood pressure. Increased body weight means more pressure required to move the blood around the body.  Thus the pressure on the inner walls of the arteries increases. Also as abdominal fat increases, the arteries are likely to become thick and stiff. This makes it harder to push the blood through the blood vessels.

However, the good news is that even when you lose weight in small amounts the blood vessels become less stiff and your blood pressure can go down.

Maintaining Healthy Blood Pressure

While also focusing on losing weight, there are some other habits you need to inculcate to maintain a healthy blood pressure. They include –

• A healthy diet that has fresh fruits and vegetables
  
  
• Lower sodium intake
  
  
• Regular exercise
  
  
• Stress management
  
  
• Quitting smoking
  
  
• Limiting alcohol intake

So, thought the term ‘cholesterol’ always seems to be having a negative connotation, there is a lot of good side to it. On the other hand, too much cholesterol in the body can lead to serious problems like heart disease. Many factors can contribute to high cholesterol, but the best part is that there are different things you can do to control it.
What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a fat, or lipid. It is a sterol produced by the liver. It performs three main functions:

1. It helps to build and maintain cell membrane.
   
   
2. Bile Production – It makes up the bile acids that work to digest food in the intestine.
   
   
3. Hormone Production – allows the body to make hormones, like estrogen in women and testosterone in men.
   

Cholesterol flows through our body via our bloodstream. Since cholesterol is not soluble in water it tends to not mix well with blood. Therefore, the liver packages it with protein and other compounds creating a lipoprotein before it is released into the blood stream. Cholesterol is then transported through the bloodstream in this lipoprotein.
HDL and LDL
When the lipoprotein has more protein than cholesterol, it is called high density lipoprotein (HDL) or good cholesterol. When the lipoprotein has more cholesterol than protein, it is called low density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol.
Low-density lipoproteins tend to deposit cholesterol on artery walls. Gradually, over time it builds up and eventually interferes with blood flow. But the HDL is useful as it seems to take cholesterol back to the liver, where it can be eliminated from the body.
How to increase HDL ?
A colourful meal plate is a sure shot way of increasing HDL.
Niacin -Niacin is a B vitamin which is contained in a variety of foods. Niacin, in particular, helps to raise “good” cholesterol, and lowers “bad” cholesterol. Foods such as tuna, chicked, pork and liver are high in this vitamin content. Beef, mushrooms and avocado also contain niacin. Vegetarians can opt to take a B-complex vitamin as there are fewer options for them.
Nuts – Walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pistachios, peanuts hazelnuts are all good sources of heart-healthy fats and are great to add to your diet. You can eat them raw, baked or slightly roasted and even add to  dishes like pasta or rice. Watch the quantity though.
Olive oil – It is high in unsaturated fats and can help you elevate your HDL. You can replace butter and fried foods with foods cooked lightly in a heart-healthy olive oil. However remember, oil is healthy, but it’s high in fat and calories, so practise moderation.
Fiber – Foods like oatmeal, bran, barley, prunes and apples having high level of fiber can help rise up your HDL while reducing LDL. A couple of servings a day of such foods can have a positive effect on your HDL.
Cut Your Sugar Intake
Cutting back on the “empty’ carb calories that come from high sugar foods puts you on the right track of the HDL-LDL level in your body.
Regular Aerobic Exercise

Now that you know how to boost your HDL get started on your fitness track.]]> Did you know that even if you ate a completely cholesterol-free diet, your body would make approximately 1,000 mg daily to function properly?

So, thought the term ‘cholesterol’ always seems to be having a negative connotation, there is a lot of good side to it. On the other hand, too much cholesterol in the body can lead to serious problems like heart disease. Many factors can contribute to high cholesterol, but the best part is that there are different things you can do to control it.
What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a fat, or lipid. It is a sterol produced by the liver. It performs three main functions:

1. It helps to build and maintain cell membrane.
   
   
2. Bile Production – It makes up the bile acids that work to digest food in the intestine.
   
   
3. Hormone Production – allows the body to make hormones, like estrogen in women and testosterone in men.
   

Cholesterol flows through our body via our bloodstream. Since cholesterol is not soluble in water it tends to not mix well with blood. Therefore, the liver packages it with protein and other compounds creating a lipoprotein before it is released into the blood stream. Cholesterol is then transported through the bloodstream in this lipoprotein.
HDL and LDL
When the lipoprotein has more protein than cholesterol, it is called high density lipoprotein (HDL) or good cholesterol. When the lipoprotein has more cholesterol than protein, it is called low density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol.
Low-density lipoproteins tend to deposit cholesterol on artery walls. Gradually, over time it builds up and eventually interferes with blood flow. But the HDL is useful as it seems to take cholesterol back to the liver, where it can be eliminated from the body.
How to increase HDL ?
A colourful meal plate is a sure shot way of increasing HDL.
Niacin -Niacin is a B vitamin which is contained in a variety of foods. Niacin, in particular, helps to raise “good” cholesterol, and lowers “bad” cholesterol. Foods such as tuna, chicked, pork and liver are high in this vitamin content. Beef, mushrooms and avocado also contain niacin. Vegetarians can opt to take a B-complex vitamin as there are fewer options for them.
Nuts – Walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pistachios, peanuts hazelnuts are all good sources of heart-healthy fats and are great to add to your diet. You can eat them raw, baked or slightly roasted and even add to  dishes like pasta or rice. Watch the quantity though.
Olive oil – It is high in unsaturated fats and can help you elevate your HDL. You can replace butter and fried foods with foods cooked lightly in a heart-healthy olive oil. However remember, oil is healthy, but it’s high in fat and calories, so practise moderation.
Fiber – Foods like oatmeal, bran, barley, prunes and apples having high level of fiber can help rise up your HDL while reducing LDL. A couple of servings a day of such foods can have a positive effect on your HDL.
