  • t shows how the vast expanse of immense energy in the infinite space is transformed into atomic and subatomic particles colliding with each other in a wild dance, the cosmic dance of Shiva, creating and destroying particles.

The Hidden Dangers of Vaccination | Healthmad - 0 views

  • The vaccines can over-stimulate the immune system and paralyze it, especially if the recipient is very young or very old and nutritionally deficient.

Vitamin D: The Sunshine Vitamin | Healthmad - 0 views

  • When ultraviolet rays from the sun strike the skin of our bodies, the skin cells in our body called keratinocytes trigger vitamin D synthesis. The endogenously made as well as vitamin D obtained from food are biologically inert (called vitamin D3). D3 is the major circulating form of Vitamin D and is what gets measured in the lab tests. D3 must be metabolized further in the liver and in the kidney to yield activated forms of D called calcidiol and calcitriol, respectively. It is this activated form that can form calcium-binding protein needed for the absorption of calcium from the intestines.

Kumari Devis: Living Child Goddesses of Nepal | Socyberty - 0 views

  • Kumari Devi is chosen from among girls 3–5 years old belonging to the Buddhist Shakya clan. Her horoscope is thoroughly analyzed, her looks passed through magnifying glasses to ensure that they satisfy the 32 ‘samudrika lakshanas‘ or rules that determine facial beauty. Her mental strength is tested too by confining her overnight in a room which contain the remains of esoteric tantric rituals in the form of severed heads of goats and buffaloes around which men wearing demon masks dance. Only if she remains calm and composed despite her tender age, she will be considered the incarnation of Durga.

Which is The Healthiest Oil to Cook (Part 2)? | Healthmad - 0 views

  • Use more of MUFA oils like olive oil, which have a much lower ratio of omega-6s. Canola oil and corn oil are too high in omega-6s. Instead, opt for flaxseed oil, one of the best sources of omega-3s. Or if you want a more sophisticated gourmet oil, try walnut oil or pumpkin seed oil, which are also fairly good sources of omega-3s. For including essential fatty acids (EFA) in your diet, use nuts liberally. Roasted sunflower seeds, flax seeds and walnuts are recommended. Flax seed oil has become the current rage as a source for Omega-3 oils.
