Salt Equals Heart Diseases

The World Health Organization WHO, has issue a new guidance on dietary salt and potassium. It said that, adults should consume less than 2,000 mg of sodium, or 5 grams of salt, and at least 3,510 mg of potassium per day. A person with either increased sodium levels and low potassium levels could be at risk of raised blood pressure which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke said WHO. 

Blood pressure has been the major causes of many heart disease and stroke, the number one cause of death and disability globally. It said that, these recommendations are also there for children over the age of 2. "This is critical because children with elevated blood pressure often become adults with elevated blood pressure"

This guidelines are there to educate the public to reduce the intake of sodium and increase potassium consumption, in other to decrease the population’s risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.

Potassium-rich foods include: beans, peas, nuts, cabbage, parsley, bananas and papayas. Sodium foods: milk, cream, bread, pretzels and popcorn.

WHO is also updating guidelines on the intake of fats and sugars associated to reduced risk of obesity and noncommunicable diseases.

BlackBerry 10 and Z10 Review: Finally!

Mashable





  
From abcnews ( http://abcnews.go.com ) It was 2008 and my BlackBerry Curve's BBM was overflowing with contacts. I'd plug away on the physical keyboard, quickly firing off messages and emails to my friends and colleagues. Back then, most of them had the same phone or another one of RIM's popular handsets, like the BlackBerry Pearl. 

By 2010 that list of contacts was empty. All my friends had abandoned BlackBerrys for iPhones or Android phones. I did the same. What choice did we have? While Apple and other phone makers started making phones that did amazing things with rich applications and fast Web browsers, BlackBerry clung to its outdated phone software. 

That is, until today. After delays and years of dragging its feet, BlackBerry is finally ready with its new BlackBerry 10 operating system, a complete overhaul of the BlackBerry you've known. Even the company name has been overhauled; no longer RIM, or Research in Motion, it's just calling itself BlackBerry. 

Its first phone to run the software -- the BlackBerry Z10 -- starts at $199 on contract at AT&T and other carriers this March, and finally has the hardware to compete with all those other high-speed smartphones you see in people's hands. Can it be? Is BlackBerry actually back?

Ashley Judd and Husband Dario Franchitti Untie The Knot

               






                 "We have mutually decided to end our marriage. We'll always be family and continue to cherish our relationship based on the special love, integrity, and respect we have always enjoyed," This is what the couple said on last Tuesday, courtesy of People ( http://www.people.com/people/article ).

Ashley Judd, 44, a film actress and her husband Dario Franchitti 39, Scottish racing driver have been in the relationship for more than 11 years. The reason for the break up is unknown for now but " rumors have swirled that Judd may consider running for a Senate seat in Kentucky in the upcoming 2014 elections. As a noted resident, a lifelong Kentucky Wildcats fan and a pretty likeable woman who would have no trouble raising money, some pundits have suggested she might have a real shot to beat Mitch McConnell.

Many politicians who have been married multiple times have held offices before including the presidency, but in general, it’s widely considered a pretty big negative. With Judd however, the forecast is a little less clear. People tend to give celebrities who are running for political office a little bit more of a free pass on their personal lives than career politicians."

Lets talk.

Benefits
Meditation is the art of bringing all your attention into one area. Meditation can of a good help when done properly. In this article we are going to talk about the benefit of meditation. I just want you first what you can get before you put yourself into it. Before anyone starts a journey, they must first know where they are going or their destination. When one starts practicing meditation, he/she start feeling relaxed, peaceful and happy. It is said to be a great way to reduce stress, increase energy, and enjoy better health. It is believed to result in a state of greater calmness and physical relaxation, and psychological balance. Plus, practicing meditation can change how you relate to the flow of emotions and thoughts in your everyday life. Meditation enables you to become aware of your inner resources of joy and peace. 

You can tap them whenever you feel stressed and worried. Meditation help you to be aware and understand all the tricks of your mind. Do you know that meditation can change your financial situation? Yes it can. As I stated in the beginning, it is the art of bringing all your attention into one area. Into what area? Into the area of need. It works on your desires and wishes to bring it to manifestation. Meditation must also be based on something, you cannot just meditate on your area of need and expect things to change. I will go more deeply on our next update. You can bookmark this page in other to follow the ongoing exercise.


How To As A Christian
                As i said earlier, meditation must be based on something. What thing? Something you yourself believe in. there are spirits out there who are prepared to help you bring your desires and wishes into manifestation. There are also spirits who seek to rip you from even the little you have. That is why it is important to connect with the right spirit.
        Now let me come to the how to part. It works as follows:

1. Read a particular scripture in the Bible that talks about your situation. An example is, 

 Isaiah 53:4 - 5  But He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed. This scripture is good if you are sick and want to be healed.  Deliberately read the scripture slowly and attentively. 
2. Memorize the text and think about how it relates to your problem. Let the scripture resonate in your thoughts. Think about how God's word, especially the scripture you choose, applies to you and your problem.

3. Prayerfully ask God to give you an insight to the scripture you choose.

4. Quiet your mind and rest in God's presence. Think of nothing, only think on how God is able to heal you disease.       

5. If your mind starts to wander, simply bring it back to the scripture and meditation. Meditation can
 difficult at first. It takes practice to learn to be still and meditate on God’s word.

             in our next article we re going to lean how you can meditate even when cooking or working without making mistakes. stay with us to the end and you will be blessed. you can also email me with your questions. see you at the next update.

Here Are Some Other Tips On Meditation
I hope you have practicing because this is the most easiest information anyone can give on the internet.You can actually see inside from outside. i also want to hear your comments and how you are improving. You can add these tips for now.
  1) Make it a formal practice. You will only get to the next level in meditation by setting aside specific time (preferably two times a day) to be still.

2) Start with the breath. Breathing deep slows the heart rate, relaxes the muscles, focuses the mind and is an ideal way to begin practice.

3) Stretch first. Stretching loosens the muscles and tendons allowing you to sit (or lie) more comfortably. Additionally, stretching starts the process of “going inward” and brings added attention to the body.

4) Meditate with Purpose. Beginners must understand that meditation is an ACTIVE process. The art of focusing your attention to a single point is hard work, and you have to be purposefully engaged!

5) Notice frustration creep up on you. This is very common for beginners as we think “hey, what am I doing here” or “why can’t I just quiet my damn mind already”. When this happens, really focus in on your breath and let the frustrated feelings go.

6) Experiment. Although many of us think of effective meditation as a Yogi sitting cross-legged beneath a Bonzi tree, beginners should be more experimental and try different types of meditation. Try sitting, lying, eyes open, eyes closed, etc.

7) . Feel your body parts  A great practice for beginning meditators is to take notice of the body when a meditative state starts to take hold. Once the mind quiets, put all your attention to the feet and then slowly move your way up the body (include your internal organs). This is very healthy and an indicator that you are on the right path.
