There is a difference between being fit and being healthy....

 

you stay fit if you eat the right number of calories and burn right number of em everyday....

 

but it is not always true that a person who is fit will be healthy....

 

health and fitness should go hand in hand else in longer term its difficult to sustain either one of em....

 

Health -- mental + physical + spiritual + emotional....

 

mental health comes from reading positive things.and if you keep negative thoughts away from your mind...imagine reading a morning newspaper..which reports scams..murders ..rapes etc....wat happens to your mind??? read a good motivating story instead and see how it works.....

 

Spiritual health....whether you beleive in god or not you need someone to rely on in your bad times....if you have a strong and righteous beliefs you will have a strong spirit and it will grow stronger with time and with each difficult situation that you face.....

 

Emotional health....your friends, family and other relations contibute a lot towards your emotional well being....but one can always strive to be emotionally intelligent no matter how old he/she is and no matter in which condition one is living.....it requires to know your basic emotions...control them...direct them to positive directions....knowing emotions of other people and then empathising or sympathising with them......

 

emotions ---> e+motion ----> energy in motion....emotions are 14 times stronger than logic......

 

physical---this comes when you eat right...rest properly and exercise.....

 

eating right --- earth is 70% water...our bodies 70% water..do you think we daily take 70% of water??? i am not askin you to gulp down 3-4 l of water but we should have fruits and fresh vegetables as they have 70% water too in them.....

 

never mix proteins with fats in ur diet...never eat fruits after eating a meal....

 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

i use both cardio and weights to train.....and now am worrking on my diet....

 

its really complex thing...really very complex...eating right portions of proteins..carbs...fats...fibres...vitamins/minerals..still maintaing right calorie intake.....

 

 

health comes from what and how much you digest and not what and how much you eat.....

 

Insulin in gel form that can be rubbed into the skin, a way of vacuuming acne away, sex to boost brain power... Several medical and scientific advances in 2007 promise a healthier, happier new year.

Goodbye pills and needles
Diabetics could soon get their daily dose of insulin by rubbing a gel on their skin. In August 2007, Phosphagenics Ltd, an Australian biotech company, announced that a method they had developed of delivering insulin through the skin, in gel form, worked well in the phase 1 human clinical trials. Applied on the skin like a cream, the insulin penetrated into the bloodstream and worked effectively, with no adverse effects. If the phase 2 and phase 3 trials also work well, this could revolutionize the treatment of this disease. But even non-diabetics could benefit from this technology. In December 2007, the company announced that the same method of delivering a potent painkiller through the skin showed positive results in the first phase of human clinical trials.

Vacuum away acne
From pimply teenagers to glamorous actors, acne has been the bane of millions. Finally there seems to be a quick painless way to get rid of those spots, through a treatment that was once used for hair removal. The PPX Pore Cleansing Treatment involves gently vacuuming pores while shining a laser light. It is reported to work well in cases where other forms of medication or laser did not work. This treatment was approved by the USFDA for acne in 2006, but has really taken off in 2007.

Fish out those lethal lurking lipids
A seemingly perfectly healthy person with a 'normal' lipid profile has a heart attack out of the blue. This is not uncommon, especially among Indians. It could be due to a subfraction of lipids that often clog the arteries, but do not show up in regular lipid profiles. Now the technology to detect those hitherto hidden killers has been launched in India. It is recommended for those who have a family history of heart disease, even if the person appears perfectly healthy.

Sleep away the blues
Crazy mood swings and yo-yoing energy levels characterize manic depression, clinically known as 'bipolar disorder', a lifelong condition. Treatment, with various levels of success, used to be medication and psychotherapy and even electroconvulsive therapy (electric shocks) in extreme cases. In December 2007, a study presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology has shown that regular routines and stable sleep patterns significantly improve the condition. A study of 175 patients with the disorder showed that those who participated in such 'interpersonal and social rhythm' therapy were far less likely to be manic or depressed for a longer time than those treated only clinically. It's the first time that practical lifestyle changes have been shown to ease such life-altering symptoms.

Capturing the heart in a beat
Non-invasive and preventive, an ultra-fast method of detecting possible cardiovascular problems has become very popular in Indian hospitals. The 64-slice CT-scan can capture a beating heart in a second and provide, with appropriate software, a 3-D image of what is happening to the heart and arteries.

Jabs of life
To protect your child from pneumonia and bacterial meningitis, two Indian institutions, the Serum Institute of India Ltd and Bharat Biotech India Ltd, have developed low-cost versions of the HiB (Haemophilus influenzae type b) vaccine. Another five-in-one vaccine, which covers five common childhood diseases in a single shot, reducing the need for repeat painful injections for the child, has also been introduced in India for the first time by Sanofi Pasteur SA. It consists of five vaccines-tetanus, diphtheria, HiB, inactivated polio vaccine and acellular pertussis vaccine.

Skin, the source of new life
Stem cells have been seen as the future of medicine-as they have the potential to be used to develop 'made to measure' organs such as kidneys or livers or hearts to replace faltering ones. The problem was that the most versatile stem cells were the ones obtained from embryos, which leads to all kinds of ethical problems. Now scientists have found a way to reprogramme ordinary skin cells into stem cells which may be just as versatile as the embryonic ones. This means a plentiful source of stem cells that could hasten the medical revolution.

A little bit younger, a little bit fresher
So you want to look younger-enough so that people notice you look fresh, but can't tell why. A new non-surgical facelift procedure called 'Silhouette Thread Lift' has just been introduced in India, and is reported to give 'better lift' than earlier procedures. As the name implies, it involves introducing a thread with cones, which literally pulls the skin up so lines and wrinkles disappear. It's quick (only a day's procedure), reliable and leaves no big scars. And the side effects and irritation are minimal.

Beat that allergy
Whether its peanuts or prawns or just your boss, millions of people go through life with without being able to do much about allergies except treat the symptoms. Now a new revolutionary drug called anti-IgE is available, to be taken as an injection twice a month. For the first time, it actually stops an allergic reaction before it begins.

Sex and the brain
Here's something your mother most certainly didn't tell you-sex apparently boosts brainpower. The claim is made in a book written in 2007 by a cognitive psychologist called Terry Horne and a biochemist, Simon Wooton. The book was based on leading scientific research from around the world. Sex, chocolate, fish and cold meats all help keep the brain active, according to the book. It is lifestyle choices, the authors argue, that create the chemical conditions that keep the brain agile.

A 2003 study published in the leading scientific journal Science said one of the hormones associated with sex did indeed help brain cells grow. So if you want to stay smart, you can now legitimately drop the sudoku for, more interesting activities.

protein intake = (0.8*body weight in Kgs)gms to (2*body weight in kgs)gms depending upon your physical activities....e.g if u weigh 70 kgs and do rigrous workout daily you need 2*70 = 140 gms of protein everyday

yes sir i do take whey ..but only whey isolate...supplements are not bad...but steroids are harmful....actually my cousin has done a course on fitness and body building...if you want any information regarding supplements let me know...

 

best combo is:

1. Creatine

2. nitric oxide

 

these 2 for strength and stamina

 

1. whey isolate

2. caesin protein

3. amino branched chain juice

 

for gaining mass....

 

then there are fat burners tooo if u want 6 pack abs like SRK or Hrithik....

 

All these supplements are present in our bodies...creatine is there...NO is there...and all these proteins are there....point is without supplements you cant grow your body....single egg white has 2.5 grams of protein....how much eggs do i eat if i am 70 kgs and need 140 gm protein everyday???

 

add chicken to it..sprouts etc even then you wont reach 140 gm protein...also you dont want to die eating all the time....

 

also digestibility of proteins play an imp role....

 

then you dont want your body to enter catabolic phase...and caesin protein and amino help you to keep it in anabolic phase...etc etc....

 

during cutting phase or if you want cardio...go for 4-5 sets...less weight...15-20 reps....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Observing that there r numerous useful topics apart from equities and investing, TED shud be renamed as thecompletedesk.com

Hi Nitin, I wud suggest not to be very strict. We are humans. I am learning to take care of myself by not being strict.

 

Discipline, over a period of time becomes a habit without we realising it.

 

Just like how humor has become part of you and Kulman.

 

Best wishes

 

JM

 

Be disciplined in your life definitely, but dont attach yourself to this body else that discipline will become very burdensome after sometime. But if you think you are taking care of someone else's body and you have to follow a set of rules for maintaining that discpline in that body, it shall always be enjoyable.

 

Same is the case with investing. Think of your portfolio as someone else's money you are managing and stick to whatever discipline you have set out in managing that.

 

 

would appreciate if some one can suggest any online books one can read in google......

Say sorry at the right moment to reduce the anger of others.

You cannot change others as easily as you can change yourself.

Do not just catch your children doing wrong things; it will make you angry. Catch them doing right things.

A matchstick has a head,

But it does not have a brain.

but most of us are like match sticks.....humans and match sticks both have a head....and these days our patience levels are at all time lows(Technically and fundamentally) ..... so like match sticks we also start burning the moment we are rubbed.....

 

how often do we see these days people becoming restless when they have to wait for something...be it standing in a queue to pay the bills...or red lights...

 

anger wont help us in any way....

Vitamins: Vitamin deficiency is almost always associated with many health related problems. For example, a decrease in the B vitamins has been linked to stress and the lack of a sense of general wellbeing. With our hectic lifestyles, we are not getting the sufficient amounts of vitamins from the diet. vitamins C and E are also potent antioxidants and work in concert with each other to neutralize free radicals that can pose a hazard to normal health.

Minerals: As important as antioxidents are, the body also needs trace minerals for normal physiological function. The case of selenium illustrates the need for dietary supplementation with trace minerals. Most populations worldwide receive a sufficient supply of selenium from their diets.Selenium is an important trace mineral that functions as an antioxidant.minerals such as calcium and magnesium are required for absorption of amino acids and other nutrients in the body to maintain optimal metabolic function.

Amino Acids: To ensure that the metabolism remains active, amino acids, such as glutamic acid and PABA, (para-amino benzoic acid), and precursors of amino acids, such as betaine hydrochloride. Glutamic acid has been shown to be a valuable dietary supplement in boosting the immune system. Furthermore, if ingested on an empty stomach and combined with a reasonable exercise routine, it induces the secretion of growth hormone that, over time, may reduce body fat and increase lean body mass.

Betaine hydrochloride, on the other hand, serves as a precursor to derivatives of the amino acid methionine, which are involved in the synthesis of vitamins B in the body, including the brain. Betaine hydrochloride allows the body to synthesize all the beneficial compounds that it needs in the right amount at the right time.
