LIFE BEGINS AT SIXTY
S. Ramachandran - Courtesy The Hindu
Many people feel unhappy, health-wise and security-wise, after 60
years of age owing to the diminishing importance given to them and
their opinion. But it need not be so, if only we understand the basic
principles of life and follow them scrupulously. Here are ten mantras
to age gracefully and make life after retirement pleasant.
1. Never say ‘I am aged': There are three ages, chronological,
biological, and psychological. The first is calculated based on our
date of birth; the second is determined by the health conditions and
the third is how old you feel you are. While we don't have control
over the first, we can take care of our health with good diet,
exercise and a cheerful attitude. A positive attitude and optimistic
thinking can reverse the third age.
2. Health is wealth: If you really love your kith and kin, taking care
of your health should be your priority. Thus, you will not be a burden
to them. Have an annual health check-up and take the prescribed
medicines regularly. Do take health insurance cover.
3. Money is important: Money is essential for meeting the basic
necessities of life, keeping good health and earning family respect
and security. Don't spend beyond your means even for your children.
You have lived for them all through and it is time you enjoyed a
harmonious life with your spouse. If your children are grateful and
they take care of you, you are blessed. But never take it for granted.
4. Relaxation and recreation: The most relaxing and recreating forces
are a healthy religious attitude, good sleep, music and laughter. Have
faith in God, learn to sleep well, love good music and see the funny
side of life.
5. Time is precious: It is almost like holding a horse's reins. When
they are in your hands, you can control them. Imagine that everyday
you are born again. Yesterday is a cancelled cheque. Tomorrow is a
promissory note. Today is ready cash use it profitably. Live this
moment.
6. Change is the only permanent thing: We should accept change it is
inevitable. The only way to make sense out of change is to join the
dance. Change has brought about many pleasant things. We should be
happy that our children are blessed.
7. Enlightened selfishness: All of us are basically selfish. Whatever
we do, we expect something in return. We should definitely be grateful
to those who stood by us. But our focus should be on the internal
satisfaction and happiness we derive by doing good to others, without
expecting anything in return.
8. Forget and forgive: Don't be bothered too much about others'
mistakes. We are not spiritual enough to show our other cheek when we
are slapped in one. But for the sake of our own health and happiness,
let us forgive and forget them. Otherwise, we will be only increasing
our BP.
9. Everything has a purpose: Take life as it comes. Accept yourself as
you are and also accept others for what they are. Everybody is unique
and right in his own way.
10. Overcome the fear of death: We all know that one day we have to
leave this world. Still we are afraid of death. We think that our
spouse and children will be unable to withstand our loss. But the
truth is no one is going to die for you; they may be depressed for
some time. Time heals everything and they will carry on.

HEALTH TIPS
Drinking Beetroot Juice Benefits Elderly and People With Heart Conditions
by VR Sreeraman
It's not only athletes who can benefit from beetroot juice's performance enhancing properties - its physiological effects could help the elderly or people with heart or lung-conditions enjoy more active lives, suggests a new study.
The new study by researchers at the University of Exeter in conjunction with the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry has revealed the physiological effects of drinking beetroot juice could help a much wider range of people.
In the latest study, the researchers looked at low intensity exercise and found that test subjects used less oxygen while walking - effectively reducing the effort it took to walk by 12pc.
Katie Lansley, a PhD student from the university's Sport and Health Sciences department and lead author of the study, said: "As you get older, or if you have conditions which affect your cardiovascular system, the amount of oxygen you can take in to use during exercise drops considerably. This means that, for some people, even simple tasks like walking may not be manageable.
"What we've seen in this study is that beetroot juice can actually reduce the amount of oxygen you need to perform even low-intensity exercise. In principle, this effect could help people do things they wouldn't otherwise be able to do."
When consumed, beetroot juice has two marked physiological effects. Firstly, it widens blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and allowing more blood flow. Secondly, it affects muscle tissue, reducing the amount of oxygen needed by muscles during activity. The combined effects have a significant impact on performing physical tasks, whether it involves low-intensity or high-intensity effort.
So far the research on the impacts of beetroot juice has only been carried out on younger people who are in good health, but the researchers believe there is no reason why the effects of beetroot juice wouldn't help others.
"While we haven't yet measured the effects on the elderly or those with heart or lung conditions, there is the potential for a positive impact in these populations which we intend to go on and investigate further," Katie Lansley added.
Beetroot juice contains high levels of nitrate. The latest study has proved that this is the key ingredient, which causes the increase in performance, rather than any other component of the beetroot juice.
Professor Andy Jones, the senior scientist on the study and a pioneer of research into beetroot juice, said: "In this study, we were able to use - for the first time - both normal beetroot juice and beetroot juice with the nitrate filtered out. Test subjects didn't know which one they were getting. The drinks both looked and tasted exactly the same. Each time the normal, nitrate-rich juice was used, we saw a marked improvement in performance which wasn't there with the filtered juice - so we know the nitrate is the active ingredient."
The study has been published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.

Top 10 Food Additives to Avoid
Top 10 Food Additives to Avoid
Dr. Mercola
Some food additives are worse than others. Food Matters suggests these as the top ones to avoid:
- Artificial Sweeteners
Aspartame, also known as Nutrasweet and Equal, is believed to be carcinogenic and accounts for more reports of adverse reactions than all other foods and food additives combined.
The artificial sweetener Acesulfame-K has been linked to kidney tumors. All artificial sweeteners are bad news.
- High Fructose Corn Syrup
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) increases your LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels and contributes to the development of diabetes.
- Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
MSG is used as a flavor enhancer. It is an excitotoxin, a substance that overexcites cells to the point of damage or death.
- Trans Fat
Numerous studies show that trans fat increases LDL cholesterol levels and increases your risk of heart attacks, heart disease and strokes.
- Common Food Dyes
Artificial colorings may contribute to behavioral problems in children and lead to a significant reduction in IQ.
- Sodium Sulphite
This is a preservative used in processed foods. People who are sulfite sensitive can experience headaches, breathing problems, and rashes. In severe cases, sulfites can actually cause death.
- Sodium Nitrate/Sodium Nitrite
This common preservative has been linked to various types of cancer.
- BHA and BHT
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydrozyttoluene (BHT) are preservatives that affect the neurological system of your brain, alter behavior and have the potential to cause cancer.
- Sulphur Dioxide
Sulphur additives are toxic and in the U.S., they have been prohibited in raw fruit and vegetables. Adverse reactions include bronchial problems, low blood pressure, and anaphylactic shock.
- Potassium Bromate
This additive is used to increase volume in some breads. It is known to cause cancer in animals, and even small amounts can create problems for humans.
Health Care Tips from the NET
Nandakumar
EAT A HEARTY HEALTHY DIET
To eat a heart-healthy diet, you need to cut down on foods high in saturated fats, like fried foods, red meat, processed meats (cold cuts and hot dogs), some kinds of cheese and most commercially prepared baked goods (muffins, cookies, doughnuts).
Make sure you check the nutrition labels on the foods you buy to ensure you are getting the least possible amount of saturated and trans-fats.
A low-saturated-fat, low-cholesterol eating plan has less than 7 percent of calories from saturated fat.
Reducing your saturated fat and cholesterol intakes doesn't lower your LDL enough, you should increase the amount of soluble fiber in your diet.
Fish is a good choice for a healthy diet. Many types contain high levels of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, which may help lower blood cholesterol and blood pressure and reduce your risk for dangerous blood clotting. Cold-water and fatty fish, such as salmon and herring, contain the most omega-3s.
You should also eat more vegetables, fruit and whole grains like oatmeal and barley. They contain fiber, which fills you up, and also limit your fat intake while still giving you the nutrients you need.
If you eat red meat, here are some ways to decrease fat without giving up flavor:
Decrease the amount of meat in a recipe
Serve smaller portions of meat and add more vegetables, grains and fruit to a meal.
Select a lean cut when you buy meat. The terms round" and "loin" indicate lower fat
Trim all visible fat from meat before cooking.

I admire, appreciate and salute you for this write-up. 'A CORRUPT STINKS OF MORAL DECAY' is my slogan against corruption. In my magazine The Sales Digest' I wrote years ago that: -
NDTV-HINDU TV debate on "Fight Against Corruption'
NDTV-HINDU - Chennai Speaks Out - "IS THE BATTLE AGAINST CORRUPTION A KNEE JERK REACTION OR A SUSTAINED CAMPAIGN?"
Now many believe that if Steven Spielberg were to do a film on the scams in India he would probably call it Swindlers list. So entrenched ladies and gentlemen has corruption become in our country in our society that everyday almost we hear of a new scam. Not long ago it was the common wealth games scam, followed by the adarsh housing societies scam followed by the 2G spectrum scam. Perhaps the biggest of them all in India ever and more recently the loan scam. And what’s really shocking and disturbing is that even before the fire of one scam can die out, a fresh one erupts. Now I’m only reminded of a recent status update on facebook which said, in fact spoke of double standards in our country. When a poor man picks someone’s pocket because he is hungry and he wants to buy a loaf of bread he is caught by the police beaten black and blue, sent to jail and sometimes even dies in police custody. But when ministers rob the country of 100’s and 1000’s of crore rupees, some of them are not even questioned. Toothless hounds - are they guarding our public morality. Have we as a society perfected the art of making a pretence, a big show of fighting corruption. Has civil society completely squandered its power of disapproval of corruption. Is our battle against corruption today a mere knee jerk reaction or a sustained campaign

CANCER FIGHTING PROPERTIES PURPLE SWEET POTATOES
HEALTH TIP: Purple Sweet Potato |
|
|
SWEET POTATO (Kamote) far exceeds the nutrition and health values of rice.
Here are the benefits of substituting rice with kamote:
1. Sweet potato is more filling and suppresses hunger pangs longer. It is also cheaper than rice.
2. Unlike rice, it is easy to grow. It grows in backyards with or without fertilizers. Local government executives can provide their poor communities with idle government land for planting kamote which the entire community can share.
3. Unlike rice which needs to be eaten with a dish, Sweet Potato tastes good and can be eaten by itself. Thus, substituting rice with sweet potato saves money for other needs.
4. Rice cannot match the nutritional values of potato. Because rice converts to sugar in the body, the Philippines registers as a top producer of diabetics in the world. The poor tends to load up on rice and less on the dish which are more expensive. That makes them vulnerable to diabetes, an ailment known in developed countries as a rich man’s disease.
5. The nutritional values of a 3 oz. baked sweet potato are: calories 90, fat 0 g, saturated fat 0 g, cholesterol 0 mg, carbohydrate 21 g, protein 2 g, dietary fiber 3 g, sodium 36 mg
6. Too much rice consumption can make you sick, but sweet potato(kamote) can bring you to health and keep away some health problems. These have been proved medically.
Sweet Potato (kamote) lowers hypertension, bad cholesterol and even blood sugar when eaten as as a substitute to rice!(Wonder if they mean white rice or brown rice as well....) The purple sweet potato (kamote) is particularly effective for lowering hypertension.
The Korean medical documentary credits the sweet potato (kamote) as high fiber and is one of the best foods that one can eat to prevent cancer!
