On nuTREEtion

*More work('smART') -> more growth
Individual to national ..etc.

*To work:
Need strength
For strength, we need nutritious food (not 'junk' food!).

****

* Our food industry, due to special transportation and storage techniques, has been able to make a wide variety of fruits and vegetables available nationwide throughout the year.

The variety is good. But these are made available at a sacrifice.

Green harvesting means picking fruits and vegetables before they are mature.
Shipping food over long distances requires cold storage and other preservation methods, which allow for depletion of vital nutrients.
Our food is also highly processed. For example, the refinement process of our flour to create white bread removes more than twenty-three essential nutrients, magnesium being one of the most important.

Our food industry then puts about eight of these nutrients back into our bread and calls it “enriched.”

* Quality of Food in the U.S.
No other nation on the face of the earth has produced the abundance of food that America has over the past half century.
But when you look at the quality of our food from a health perspective, there are definite concerns.
The processes used to produce and preserve our foods today have had a serious effect on the quality of this tremendous food supply.

Rex Beach wrote in his report to the U.S. Senate:
Do you know that most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies, which cannot be remedied until the depleted soils from which our foods come are brought into proper mineral balance?

The alarming fact is that foods—fruits and vegetables and grains—now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contain enough of certain minerals, are starving us no matter how much we eat.

Eye Care

Computers and the Eye

* Precautionary measures

To minimize the visual problems related to Visual Display Units(VDUs)
- The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health(NIOSH) recommends a period of adequate rest after continuous work on VDUs
- It is important to blink at least 10-12 times per minute.
- Correct rearrangement of lighting and furniture at the work site may reduce strain on the eyes

General Dos and Don'ts

Don'ts

- Smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol are known to cause increased progression of
cataracts and optic nerve disorders
and hence it is advisable not to smoke or consume alcohol.

- Do not allow children to play with sharp objects(like compass,syringes and needles) or with
chemicals like lime.
Playing with packets of lime and the resultant accidental spillage of lime in the eye has
resulted in visual loss in many instances.

Dos

- Fresh leafy vegetables and fruits have naturally occurring antioxidants and vitamin supplements.
- Have a comprehensive eye examination by a qualified ophthalmologist once in 6months or a year.
- Wear protective eye wear while driving two-wheelers and while engaged in hazardous occupational work.

ఆయుర్వేద!

The knowledge of Áyurveda was handed down from Brahmá to Daksha Prajápati, onto the
Ashwin twins (the divine doctors), then passed to Indra. Sage Bharadvája volunteered to go to
heaven to receive this wisdom from Indra, and so became the first human to receive the
knowledge of Áyurveda. He passed it to Átreya, then onto Punarnavasu and finally Agnivesha.
