Must Read: Highlights Of The True Buddha's Life
~2.8 mins read
He said, I am not God. I am not a Deva. Nor am I a Human I am the Awakened one, who has seen the Truth of the world.
He did a meticulous analysis of his mind in such a way that he was able to count all the atoms in his body.

He said, Nothing in this world is solid. The modern meaning of which is that everything is made up of tiny particles and these particles are repeatedly broken down and reformed. He was well aware of the quantum level of existence.

He was famous for another reason that he taught people of all languages in their own language whoever met him. Although he chose the Pali language of the common people during discoursing in the assembly.

No animal would ever harm him while meditating in the deep forest. It is believed that the animals were attracted to him, they looked at him calmly because of the power of his Metta (amity, benevolence).

He gave the theory of rebirth. He observed himself spontaneously and said that he had become the Buddha in this birth because of the good deeds of all previous births.

He said that the ultimate goal of life is Nibbana, which means liberation from the cycle of life and death.

A serial killer like Angulimala who killed 999 people, city prostitute like Amrapali, controversialist like Saccaka and Upali who challenged Buddha, all of them were initiated into his religion and became Arhants!

From a very young age he would never make jokes, never gossiped, never made fun, but always had a glimpse of smile on his face that fascinated everyone.

One day, while he was going for alms, a little boy picked up a bowl of dust in front of Buddha. Buddha smiled softly and took the alms bowl forward. When Ananda asked the reason for Buddha's laughter, Buddha said, This boy will reborn in the city of Pataliputta two and half years after my parinibbana (death) and will be the chakkavatti (wheel turning) emperor and will make history by building 84,000 metal temples and shrines for the benefit of Buddhist rule. He was no one else, the emperor Great Ashoka!

He had a very good look, blue eyes, broad shoulders, long ears, mild crimped hair and was full of benevolence and mercy. It is said that a bright halo would come out of his fair body (the complexion appeared clearer and brighter on two occasions, before the moment of enlightenment and before the moment of parinibbana).

He was born (623 BCE), enlightened (588 BCE) and attained parinibbana (543 BCE) on the same day. This day is the full moon day of Vesakha (May).

Among Buddha's many disciples, Ananda stood out for having the best memory. Most of the texts of the early Buddhist Sutta Piaka are attributed to his pure recollection of Buddha's teachings during the First Buddhist Council.

Today his religion is considered the most scientific religion and there are some variations of it, it happened over time.

Buddha gave such knowledge of mind and body as it really is, not in the way of any religious belief!

The monk has always fasted in his life and taught by traveling long distances on foot till his parinibbana.

After attaining enlightenment, he reunited with his family and guided his father, mother, wife and son to Nibbana. Happy family!

This great scientist was born more than 2600 years ago and his non-violence, Metta teaching and meditation techniques are still practiced which is appreciated all over the world.

The most fascinating thing about Buddha is that we can see him as a Human like us!

A man with a beautiful mind. He is not God, nor a god, nor a prophet. He is perfect just as a human being. Lived and died like human beings. There is no promise of heaven in his religion. No threat of hell. No need to pray. No compulsory to follow him. No mandatory rituals.

Following his teachings makes one a better person. The Dhamma is not harmed if one does not follow it. He/she will just miss the opportunity to be a better human.

Do You Know How You Sleep?
~1.1 mins read
 
1Sleep is regulated by two biological mechanism, which is circadian rythm and homeostatis, that work together to regulate our sleep and wake cycle. To undestand how do we sleep we need to understand this two mechanism.
 
2Circadian rythms
Direct a wide variety of functions from daily fluctuations in wakefulness to body temperature, metabolism, and the release of hormones.  They control your timing of sleep and cause you to be sleepy at night and your tendency to wake in the morning without an alarm.  Your body’s biological clock, which is based on a roughly 24-hour day, controls most circadian rhythms.  Circadian rhythms synchronize with environmental cues (light, temperature) about the actual time of day, but they continue even in the absence of cues.
 
3Sleep-wake homeostasis
Keeps track of your need for sleep.  The homeostatic sleep drive reminds the body to sleep after a certain time and regulates sleep intensity.  This sleep drive gets stronger every hour you are awake and causes you to sleep longer and more deeply after a period of sleep deprivation.
 
4Another factors that influence sleep and wake cycle are medical conditions, medication, stress, sleep environtment, food, and exposure to light. Exposure to light is the greatest influence, because speciallized cells in retinas process light and give information to brain whether it is day or night so it can delay or advance our sleep cycle.
 
5Sleep has a typical underlying architecture characterized by arhythmic alternation between NREM and REM stages. NREM are divided by 4 stages, which is 75% of our sleep and REM consist of 25% of our sleep.

Do People Get Smart Or Are They Born Smart?
~3.3 mins read
The answer is in this article. Everything you have to do to become smart.

Outliers have a tendency to give the masses the wrong ideas.

When we hear stories about a seven-year-old who can speak 14 different languages, or see a video of someone with a photographic memory repeating back every single persons name in a fifty person auditorium, we sit back in awe.

How can they do that? we say, our jaws on the ground.

We begin to think that high levels of intelligence are more the result of nature, rather than nurture.

The truth is, we are all blank slates when we arrive here on earth. Sure, we inherit a few things from our predecessors, but ultimately our futures depend on our work ethic. There are plenty of brilliant people in the world who never amount to much, solely because they lacked the desire to refine their inherent talents and intelligence.

And, on the other side of the spectrum, there are plenty of people who had the odds stacked against them and went on to do brilliant things.

People arent born smart.

How?

1. Smart people read (a lot)

For most people, reading has to be a practice and a habit.

Reading is a skill just like any other, and we forget that. Go too long without reading and stretching your brain, and youll find the task to be incredibly difficult especially when it comes time to recall what youve read.

Smart people practice reading often. And just like anything else, with practice they get better and better over time.

2. Smart people hang around other smart people.

This can be both a good thing (when done intentionally) and a bad thing (when the result has a negative impact).

If you want to become smarter, you have to spend time around people smarter than yourself. One of my favorite quotes is, If youre the smartest person in the room, youre in the wrong room.

When you spend time with smart people, their drive, their knowledge, their awareness inherently rubs off on you. It raises the standard you hold for yourself. It stretches your brain in ways you cant get elsewhere. And it makes you question, Hey, if they know all that stuff, why cant I?

Smart people hang around other smart people.

You are the reflection of the five people you spend the most time with.

3. Smart people love making mistakes.

Every misstep is an opportunity to learn a lesson, improve, and move forward.

Which means, part of becoming smart is shifting your mentality away from fearing mistakes and instead embracing them.

Why?

Because they show you what you need to learn next, refine, and improve upon in order to reach the next level. Thats all the growth process really is.

Smart people know this, and are very trusting of the process.

4. Smart people see value in all types of knowledge.

Smart people are the ones who say, Thats interesting. I didnt know that. Tell me more.

Knowledge, in itself, is subjective. Its relative to your pursuits, your goals, your ambitions, and your current projects.

However, thats not to say that some knowledge is worth knowing and some knowledge isnt. No, there arent enough hours in the day to know everything, but should you find yourself in a conversation about a foreign topic, why shut it out?

Smart people embrace these random moments of learning, and see them as opportunities to expand who they are and their awareness of the world.

5. Smart people work (very, very) hard.

Learning and improving should be fun, and you should enjoy what it is youre sinking your teeth into. But at the same time, it would be naive to think the process was always rainbows and roses.

The truth is, its hard work to dig into your craft and really learn it inside and out.

Smart people dont shy away from this sort of discipline. What they do is they create a life and a schedule that encourages it, forcing themselves to get done what they need to get done in order to remain in a constant state of growth.

This is the key to improvement, and to intelligence in general.

It doesnt just happen.

It takes hard work.

Asymptomatic People With COVID-19 May Not Be Immune To The Coronavirus
~1.5 mins read

People who catch COVID-19 but don't show symptoms may have significantly lower levels of immunity against the virus than those who become severely ill, new Chinese research showed Thursday.

The majority of virus patients display relatively minor signs of infection, and a small proportion show no symptoms at all.

Very little is known about this group, given that they are far less likely to be tested than those who go on to develop severe symptoms including respiratory problems.

Researchers based in China compared two groups of individuals infected with COVID-19 in Chongqing's Wanzhou District: 37 who showed symptoms versus 37 who did not.

The researchers analyzed blood samples from both groups taken a few weeks after recovering and found that just 62.2 percent of the asymptomatic group had short-term antibodies, compared with 78.4 percent of symptomatic patients.

After eight weeks of convalescence, antibody presence had fallen in 81.1 percent of asymptomatic patients, compared with 62.2 percent of symptomatic patients.

What's more, asymptomatic patients were found to have lower levels of 18 pro- and anti-inflammatory cell-signalling proteins than the symptomatic group, suggesting a weaker immune response to the novel coronavirus.

Authors of the study, which was published in Nature Medicine, said their findings called into question the idea that everyone who has had coronavirus are immune to future infection.

"These data might indicate the risks of using COVID-19 'immunity passports' and support the prolongation of public health interventions, including social distancing, hygiene, isolation of high-risk groups and widespread testing," they wrote.

Danny Altmann, a spokesman for British Society for Immunology as well as professor of Immunology at Imperial College London, said the research raised a vital question for combating COVID-19.

"Much immunology data so far has come from analyzing the sickest, hospitalized patients, but most people who have been more mildly affected will want to know whether this is likely to have conferred lasting, protective immunity," he said.

Altmann said it was "an important and potentially worrying point" that many patients in the study showed a significant decline in antibody levels in just two months.

"Though this is quite a small sample size of patients, it is in line with some concerns that natural immunity to coronaviruses can be quite short-lived," said Altmann, who was not involved in the research.

How People In Ancient Times Treated Their Bacterial Infections? And Yes It Still Works.
~6.8 mins read
Shivangi Karn

Have you ever wondered how people in ancient times treated their bacterial infections? Yes, we are talking about natural antibiotics which were used much before the discovery of first man-made antibiotic (Penicillin) in 1928.

Antibiotics are widely used to kill bacteria and inhibit their growth. Natural antibiotics are the best as they come with minimal or no side effects. They also help in combating bacteria which have grown resistant to certain prescribed antibiotics. There is a large list of fruits, vegetables, essential oil and herbs which are known for their anti-microbial properties. We have listed down a few amazing mother nature's antibiotics that work just as effectively as prescribed antibiotics. Take a look.

1. Garlic

Garlic is a potent antibiotic for food pathogens. The food we eat contains pathogens which may decline consumer's health. This powerful natural antibiotic may help decrease the possibilities of food poisoning due to its antibacterial property against many types of bacteria, especially Staphylococcus aureus. [1]

2. Turmeric

Curcumin in turmeric is a bioactive compound that exhibits antimicrobial properties. In a vitro study, curcumin has demonstrated antibacterial quality against several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. This proves the antibioticnature of the compound. [2]

3. Honey

The antimicrobial property of honey has been mentioned since ancient times. Honey possesses healing property due to its antibacterial activity. Its high viscosity provides a protective barrier in preventing infections and the immunomodulatory effect for repairing wounds. [3]

4. Onion

Onion is a common and widely used herb in every kitchen. In a study based on oral health, onion extract has shown antibiotic effect against Streptococcus sobrinus and Streptococcus mutans, the primary bacteria causing gingivitis and periodontitis. [4]

5. Manuka Honey

Manuka honey is a type of honey that bees make after pollinating the manuka flower. The antimicrobial potency of honey is due to the rich phenolic content that makes it safe to use as a natural antibiotic. A study says that manuka honey inhibits the growth of bacteria and heals wounds. [5]

6. Carom seeds

Carom seeds, commonly known as ajwain is a well-known herb in India due to its remedial agents that help treat conditions such as flatulence, abdominal tumours, piles, asthma and many more. A study says that carvacrol and thymol in ajwain has an antibiotic property that not only kills normal but also multi-drug resistant bacteria. [6]

7. Ginger

A study shows that gingerols, a phenol phytochemical compound in fresh ginger, have antibacterial potency against all types of oral bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (causes gingivitis), Porphyromonas endodontalis (causes gum disease) and Prevotella intermedia (causes periodontitis). [7]

8. Clove

Clove is widely used in seasoning many dishes. It is effective against various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria due to the presence of eugenol, lipids and oleic acid. Clove is basically used for its essential oil. [8]

9. Cinnamon

Cinnamon is widely used in the preparation of chocolates, soups, liquors, beverages and pickles. Every part of the plant is used to prepare essential oil which is useful in treating multiple ailments. The active compound such as cinnamaldehyde and eugenol in cinnamon have antimicrobial property against bacteria causing pneumonia, urinary tract infection, fever and skin infection. [9] Cinnamon oil should be taken in safe amount considering its toxicity as a main problem. It is better to consult a medical expert about its usage.

10. Basil

Known by the name 'tulsi', basil is the mostly found herb in every Indian garden. In a study conducted among nine essential oils, basil oil had shown the strongest antimicrobial property against different bacteria including S. Enteritidis, a bacterium that severely affect humans by causing gastrointestinal problems. [10]

11. Lavender

A study highlights the antibacterial property of lavender. It says that lavender essential oil has a very good inhibitory growth activity against E. coli (Gram-negative bacteria) and S. aureus (Gram-positive bacteria) strains. [11]

12. Blueberries

Blueberries are rich in phenols, flavonoids and polyphenols. The compound possesses antimicrobial property against bacteria such as E.coli, L. monocytogenes and salmonella. Also, it helps in maintaining the health of good bacteria (lactobacillus) found in our digestive system. [12]

13. Oregano

The essential oil obtained from oregano is famous for its antimicrobial activity. In a study, the oil was found to be effective against Escherichia coli (cause diarrhoea) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (causes pneumonia and UTI). The outcome of the study shows that oregano oil can be used as an alternative for antibiotics against bacterial infections and antibiotic-resistant strains. [13]

14. Neem

Neem is a recognised medicinal plant known very much for its antibacterial property. Vibrio vulnificus is a gram-negative pathogenic bacterium transmitted to humans mainly through seafood. When people consume undercooked or raw seafood, they get inside the human body and cause symptoms such as fever, sepsis, vomiting and necrotising fasciitis. Neem nanoemulsion (NE) prepared from neem oil, water and Tween 20 (a surfactant) disrupt the integrity of the bacteria by acting as an antibiotic. [14]

Note: Neem NE is nontoxic at lower concentration. Avoid its overconsumption.

15. Fennel Seeds

Fennel is a natural antibiotic used to treat multiple bacterial conditions such as gastrointestinal disorder and respiratory problems. In a study, fennel seeds were found to be potent against S. aureus bacteria that cause skin disorders like infection, pimples, boils, cellulitis and scalded skin syndrome. [15]

16. Coconut Oil

A study shows that in comparison to chlorhexidine (an antiseptic and disinfectant), coconut oil is as effective as the prior in reducing Streptococcus mutans bacteria (teeth bacteria) due to its antimicrobial property. [16] Another study states that virgin coconut oil inhibits the growth of Clostridium difficile, an antibiotic-resistance bacterium responsible for diarrhoea. [17]

17. Chili Peppers

Chili peppers contain an active compound called capsaicin that holds a great antibiotic activity. It's been used since ancient times to treat multiple disorders. A study shows the antibacterial activity of this vital compound against Streptococcus pyogenes which is a major human pathogen. [18]

18. Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree essential oil has been used to treat multiple ailments for almost 100 years. The oil is used in many topical formulations to treat skin and mucous membrane infections. Terpene compound in this oil is responsible for its antibacterial activity. [19]

19. Green Tea

Green tea is packed with flavonols (catechins). This active compound is a health-promoting component with great antibacterial effect. In a study conducted between green, black and herbal teas, green tea has shown effectiveness against three types of gram-positive bacteria named M. luteus, Staphylococcus and B. cereus along with S. aureus, while the other two were not able to inhibit S.aureus. [20]

20. Lemongrass

This native herb from Sri Lanka and South India has gained popularity around the world due to its amazing antimicrobial property. A study mentions the effect of lemongrass oil against seven species of gram-negative bacteria, three of which are zoonotic from pet turtle. The oil extracted from lemongrass is used for its aroma, bactericidal property, flavour and medicinal properties. [21]

9 Amazing Health Benefits Of Citronella Oil (Lemongrass)

21. Bearberry

Bearberry or uva-ursi is a small cherry-like red-pink fruit with great medicinal value. It is a safe and effective alternative treatment method for urinary tract infection. The consumption of uva-ursi by women helps to reduce prescribed antibiotic use. [22]

22. Myrrh

Also known as loban, myrrh is an aromatic plant used for a thousand years for its incense and medicinal property. The oil extracted from this traditional plant has the potential of an antibiotic to kill persister cells or nongrowing bacteria (highly resistant to antibiotic) and cause no resistance development. [23]

23. Thyme Oil

Thyme is a relative to oregano commonly used for ornamental, culinary and medicinal purpose. A study says that thyme oil has antibacterial activity against multiple strains of bacteria responsible for oral cavity, respiratory problems, skin infections and abdominal disorders. [24]

24. Rosemary

Rosemary is a fragrant evergreen herb with spiny leaves and white/purple/pink/blue flowers. The phenolic compounds such as carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid in rosemary possess antibacterial property against all strains of gram-negative bacteria, especially Esherichial coli responsible for diarrhoea and fever in humans. [25]

25. Echinacea

Echinacea, also known as coneflower is a flowering plant that belongs to the daisy family. They are mainly recognised by their pink or purple petals. The herb is popular for its antibiotic effect against fever, cough and flu. It is also used in the treatment of multiple bacterial infections. [26]

Risks Of Taking Natural Antibiotics

Natural antibiotics are good but it does not mean one should take them all the time. Market-based antibiotic supplements which are labelled as 'natural and safe' can sometimes be harmful. Therefore, it is better to consult a medical expert before starting on these supplements.

Some of the common side effects related to natural antibiotics are allergic reactions and gastric distress. They sometimes interfere with gut microbiota and cause problems. Another problem is natural antibiotics may sometimes interfere with the medications which you are taking for your existing medical condition.

Garlic is considered a major antibiotic but sometimes it may prolong bleeding and cause drug interactions. Neem oil in a large proportion may harm kidneys while ginger may slow down blood clotting in some people.

Too much of anything is bad. Therefore, the best way to get the benefits of the aforementioned natural antibiotics is to take them as recommended.

Common FAQs

1. What is the most powerful natural antibiotic?

Basil, commonly known as tulsi is considered the most powerful antibiotic as its antimicrobial effect is stronger than essential oils, which are themselves considered potent against several bacterial infections.

2. How can I fight infection naturally?

Natural antibiotics are preferred best for fighting infection naturally. They include garlic, honey, turmeric, muneka honey, ginger and essential oils. The active compounds in them help treat many bacterial infections.

3. Can you get rid of a bacterial infection without antibiotics?

Exercise And Healthy Diet Key To Preventing Cancer.
~3.0 mins read

A healthy eating pattern includes a variety of vegetables dark green, red, and orange, fiber-rich legumes (beans and peas), and others.

If you want to lower your risk of cancer, you may need to make changes to your exercise routine and dietary choices.

The American Cancer Society released on Tuesday its updated Diet and Physical Activity Guideline for cancer prevention. It raises the recommended amount of weekly physical activity from a minimum of 150 minutes a week to 150-300 minutes with an emphasis on the upper number. It also now suggests that people reduce their consumption of certain foods: processed and red meat, sugar-sweetened beverages, processed foods and alcohol.

Notably, the new guidelines statement about alcohol consumption is firmer and more direct than in the past. It is best not to drink alcohol, it says.

Using the latest scientific evidence, the ACS has also updated its recommended strategies for how public, private and community organizations can reduce barriers to healthy eating and active living. As the new guideline points out, such barriers disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities, people of low socioeconomic status, people with disabilities and people living in rural areas.

2020 recommendations

Here is the ACSs summary of the recommendations for individuals (with abbreviations spelled out):

  • Achieve and maintain a healthy body weight throughout life.
  • Keep body weight within the healthy range and avoid weight gain in adult life.
  • Be physically active.
  • Adults should engage in 150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week, or 75-150 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity, or an equivalent combination; achieving or exceeding the upper limit of 300 minutes is optimal.
  • Children and adolescents should engage in at least 1 hour of moderate- or vigorous-intensity activity each day.
  • Limit sedentary behavior, such as sitting, lying down, and watching television, and other forms of screen-based entertainment.
  • Follow a healthy eating pattern at all ages.
  • A healthy eating pattern includes:
  • Foods that are high in nutrients in amounts that help achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.

    A variety of vegetables dark green, red, and orange, fiber-rich legumes (beans and peas), and others.

    Fruits, especially whole fruits with a variety of colors; and

    Whole grains.

  • A healthy eating pattern limits or does not include:
  • Red and processed meats;

    Sugar-sweetened beverages; or

    Highly processed foods and refined grain products.

  • It is best not to drink alcohol.
  • People who do choose to drink alcohol should limit their consumption to no more than 1 drink per day for women and 2 drinks per day for men.
  • The guideline continues to reflect the current science that dietary patterns, not specific foods, are important to reduce the risk of cancer and improve overall health, says Laura Makaroff, the ACS senior vice president for prevention and early detection, in a released statement. There is no one food or even food group that is adequate to achieve a significant reduction in cancer risk.

    The guidelines also state that the ACS does not recommend vitamin and mineral supplements or any other kind of dietary supplements for the prevention of cancer. In fact, it points out that some high-dose supplements have been linked to an increased risk of certain cancers.

    Current and evolving scientific evidence supports a shift away from a nutrient-centric approach to a more holistic concept of dietary patterns, says Makaroff. People eat whole foods not nutrients and evidence continues to suggest that it is healthy dietary patterns that are associated with reduced risk for cancer, especially colorectal and breast cancer.

    Community action

    The updated guideline makes this recommendation for community action:

    Public, private, and community organizations should work collaboratively at national, state, and local levels to develop, advocate for, and implement policy and environmental changes that increase access to affordable, nutritious foods; provide safe, enjoyable, and accessible opportunities for physical activity; and limit access to alcoholic beverages for all.

    Some of the strategies for community action outlined in the guideline include:

  • providing incentives to the food retail environment to place grocery stores in underserved neighborhoods,
  • developing shared-use arrangements with public and private entities to open up recreational facilities (gyms, tracks, playing fields) to the broader community,
  • transforming vacant lots into community gardens,
  • creating more active and safe transportation systems (pedestrian and bicycle routes) to encourage physical activity, and
  • regulating the density of alcohol retail outlets through licensing or zoning laws.
  • FMI:  The guideline was published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, where it can be read in full. The journal is published by the ACS.
