MOTIVATIONS

MAKE IT HAPPEN:

“Greatness is not in where we stand
But in what direction we are moving.
We must sail sometimes with the wind
And sometimes against it-But sail we must,
And not Drift, Nor lie at anchor.”


POWER OF ATTITUDE:

“Our lives are not determined by what happens
To us, but how we react to what happens;
Not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude
We bring to life. A positive attitude causes
A chain reaction of positive thoughts, Events,
And outcomes. It is a catalyst….A spark that
Creates extraordinary results.”

SUCCESS and ACHIEVEMENT

SUCCESS:

“Successful is the person who has lived well,
Laughed often and loved much, who has gained the
Respect of children, who leaves the world better
Than they found it, who has never lacked appreciation
For the Earth’s beauty, who never fails to look for the
Best in others or give the best of themselves.”


ACHIEVEMENT:

“The credit belongs to those people who are
Actually in the arena…who know the great
Enthusiasms, the great devotions to a worthy cause;
Who at best, know the triumph of high achievement;
And who, at worst, fail while daring greatly….so
That their place shall never be with those cold
And timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Do not discard radish greens

The taproot of the radish plant forms a delicious and popular vegetable, although the whole plant is edible and the greens can be used as a leafy vegetable, radish leaves provide almost 265mg of calcium, 18mg of iron and 81mg of vitamin C per100gms, and are therefore an excellent source of nutrients.

Radish is generally used as a garnish or salad ingredient because of its color, crisp textures and pungent and peppery flavor.

Radish contains only 0.1gms of fat and yields 6.4gms of carbohydrates per 100gms of consumption. One cup of sliced radish bulbs provides approximately 20 calories or less, coming largely from carbohydrates.

The Vitamin C content in radish leaves can act as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent and therefore can prove to have a positive effect on asthma symptoms. Radish contains 138 mg of potassium per 100gms, which can help lower the risk of kidney stones and strokes. Radish when taken along with the leaves, combined with a diet high in other fruits and vegetables, can significantly lower the risk of multiple sclerosis.

Veggie Diet Can affect the Brain

Going Veggie could be bad for your brain, say scientist, who have found that consuming meat-free diet leads to brain shrinkage.

According to researchers, vegans and vegetarians are the most likely to be deficient because the best sources of the vitamin are meat, particularly liver, milk and fish. Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause anemia and inflammation of the nervous system. Yeast extracts are one of the few vegetarian foods which provide good levels of the vitamin.

The finding was made by the Oxford university scientist who used memory tests, physical checks and brain scans to examine 107 people between the ages of 61 and 87.

When the volunteers were retested five years later the medics found those with the most likely to have brain shrinkage. It confirms earlier research showing a link between brain atrophy and low levels of B12.

Also, in a new study it was found that drinking too much alcohol can lead to brain shrinkage.

A cup of Coffee

A cup of coffee a day, or an help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, new research has suggested. A daily dose of caffeine blocks the disruptive effects of high cholesterol that scientists have linked to the disease, a study in the journal of Neuroinflammation, has revealed.
In the study, researchers at the University of North Dakota School of medicine and health sciences gave rabbits 3 mg of caffeine each day, the equivalent of a daily cup of coffee for an average-seized person. The rabbits were fed a cholesterol enriched diet during this time.
After 12 weeks, a number of laboratory tests showed that the blood brain barrier, which protects the central nervous system from the rest of the body’s circulation, was “significantly” more intact in rabbits receiving a daily dose of caffeine.
Dementia will affect almost one million people by 2020, according to Alzheimer’s society, the leading UK charity dealing with dementia. Every five years after the age of 30, the chances of developing the disease doubles. And, by the time a person reaches so, the odds are one in six.
“This is the best evidence yet that caffeine equivalent to one cup of coffee a day can help protect the brain against cholesterol. It sheds important light on why previous research has shown drinking coffee may reducing the risk of dementia,” Head of research at Alzheimer’s society said.
