1. Vegetable Stir-fry
A vegetable stir-fry served on top of brown rice or another whole grain (I like quinoa) is a quick, easy and healthy meatless meal idea. Use a store-bought stir-fry sauce or marinade, or, try a combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, and vinegar. For the kids, cook up some Asian noodles to mix in with the stir-fry. Try adding unusual ingredients, such as diced pineapple, mandarin oranges or slivered almonds to keep it interesting, and don't forget a protein source such as tofu, seitan or a store-bought meat substitute for some chewy and hearty texture.

Avoid damage to your lever
Top foods to keep your liver healthy
Pavitra Sampath Jul 19, 2013 at 10:20 am
The liver is one of the most important organs of the body.
One of its most important functions involves breaking down and disposing
of toxic substances. In such a case if the released toxins are not expelled
properly due to the inefficiency of the liver they are simply reabsorbed. These
toxins can later lead to various severe complications including cancer. (Read: Why is the liver so important?
)
There are certain vegetables that
contain ingredients which help the liver secrete greater concentrations of
important enzymes; in turn, these enzymes help to excrete potential carcinogens
from the body.
What you should eat:
- Broccoli, onion and garlic are believed to provide sulfur to the body. Sulphur, helps enhance the detoxifying reactions in the liver, and carry out processes that prevent its damage.
- Beetroot contains pectin which is very useful in flushing out the toxins from the liver, and does not allow them to be reabsorbed.
- Cabbage is known for its high levels of sodium, which help in proper disposal and detoxification of the liver.
- Carrots are rich in Niacin and beta carotene, they are great for the eyes and liver. The niacin helps the liver properly break down substances to release toxins, keeping it healthy and avoiding re-absorption of harmful substances.
What you should avoid:
- Highly processed foods with a large number of additives
- Food that is rich in hydrogenated oil
- Food with high content of fructose corn syrup, artificial sweetening agents
- Alcohol
So the next time you
reach out for that bag of chips or that extra peg over the weekend, think
again.
Top 6 natural remedies to keep your liver healthy
Anusuya Suresh May 13, 2013 at 12:29 pm
The liver is one of our body’s
busiest organs, with a role to play in most of the biochemical processes that
sustain life. It produces bile that is vital to digestion, produces plasma
proteins, stores iron, regulates the clotting of blood, synthesizes
cholesterol, stores glucose as glycogen, regulates the levels of amino acids in
blood, is involved with clotting of blood, removes toxins from the body and
produces immune factors that help prevent infections. With our modern-day
food and lifestyles (think greater junk food, alcohol, smoking, stress and
medication) we put a greater pressure on our liver and this can cause several
health problems right from allergies and migraines to obesity and indigestion.
Here are a few herbal remedies that can help your liver stay healthy.
The Indian gooseberry or amla is known as one of the richest sources of vitamin C. What is less well-known is its ability
to keep the liver functioning at optimal levels. This herb has been used
extensively in Ayurveda for treatment of a
sluggish liver; now researchers are finding in laboratory studies that extracts
from amla have liver-protective function. However, there is no clear indication
of whether it is useful to treat hepatitis B infection. Amla
is one of the important components in Chyawanpraash that has immunity boosting,
digestive and liver-protective action. The best way to consume it is raw as
small pieces in your salad or by making a raitha with grated amla and curd.
Here are
Jethimad or Licorice
People with non- alcoholic fatty liver disease
show increased levels of the transaminase enzymes called ALT and AST. Studies
have found that the use of licorice (Jethimad or Mulhati in Hindi) extracts led
to reduced concentrations of these enzymes indicating that licorice has
beneficial effects on the liver. Although licorice is more well-known for its
sweet taste and anti-ulcer action, it has been used in Ayurvedic remedies to
cure liver ailments. Licorice is available at stores selling Indian medicinal
herbs; get the root, powder it at home and make a tea by pouring boiling water
into the powder, steeping for a few minutes and then straining the
liquid. Here are top ten health benefits of Mulethi or Liquorice
Amrith
or Guduchi
Yet another herb that Ayurveda
considers to have rejuvenating properties, Amrith is commonly grown in many
kitchen gardens. It is said to have the ability to clear toxins from the liver
as well as strengthen its functioning; more importantly, it does not cause any
significant complications even on using long-term. However, Ayurvedic physicians warn that using this
herb can precipitate a liver crisis if the patient has a large amount of toxins
in the liver; therefore, it is best to use this only under an Ayurvedic
practitioner’s guidance.
Full of valuable antioxidants,
turmeric is an important herb that improves liver health. No wonder then that
people in Asian countries use it so extensively in their cooking. Now, it is being recognized even in western
countries for its liver-protective value. Some studies have also found that
the antiviral action of turmeric is effective in preventing the multiplication
of the viruses causing hepatitis B and C. The
easiest way to take turmeric is to include it in your cooking; you can also
make it a practice to drink a little turmeric-flavoured milk on a regular basis
to get its benefits.
Certain receptor sites normally bind
hormones and keep them circulating in the blood. This puts a strain on the
liver which has to filter out these excess hormones. Studies have found that the phytoconstituents in flaxseeds have the
capacity to bind with such receptor sites and this prevents hormonal binding,
and this means less work for the liver. Just sprinkling a few crushed or
whole flaxseeds on your toast, salad or cereals can help you make use of their
liver-protective effect. Read about five seeds that you need to add to your diet
Vegetables
Certain vegetables contain
ingredients that help the liver secrete greater concentrations of important
enzymes; in turn, these enzymes help to excrete potential carcinogens
(cancer-causing substances) from the body. Beet, cabbage, carrot, broccoli, onion and garlic are important
vegetables with such an action. Broccoli, onion and garlic are believed to
provide sulfur to the body; this helps in the detoxification reactions the
liver carries out and prevents damage to the liver. Read about five foods that can help prevent liver disease
Along with the use of these natural
remedies, it is also important to avoid foods that cause damage to the liver.
Here are 10 things that can cause liver disease.If you eat foods that are
highly processed with a large number of additives, or if you take too many
medications, your liver has to work overtime to tackle this greater chemical
load and this can cause damage. Food
that is rich in hydrogenated oil, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweetening
agents and alcohol are some of the other substances that can put a greater load
on your liver. Along with consuming of liver-protective herbs, it is also
important to make sure you avoid the foods that cause it harm.

Thanksgiving
Saying grace before carving a turkey at Thanksgiving dinner in Neffsville, Pennsylvania, 1942
Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a holiday celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. It has been celebrated as a Federal holiday every year since 1863, when, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens", to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November.[1] Thanksgiving was also celebrated nationally in 1789, after a proclamation by George Washington.[2] As a federal and public holiday in the U.S., Thanksgiving is one of the major holidays of the year. Together with Christmas and New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader holiday season.
The event that Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in 1621.[3] This feast lasted three days, and it was attended by 90 Native Americans (as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow)[4] and 53 Pilgrims.[5] The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating "thanksgivings"—days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought.[6]

5 million Gmail passwords leaked
A list of 5 million Gmail addresses and passwords appeared on a Russian Bitcoin forum Wednesday It is still unclear how anyone obtained the vast collection of usernames and passwords. Google says its servers were not breached. The list appears to be a collection of passwords exposed in previous hacks -- likely on users' own computers, not Google's systems.
In fact, there's no telling yet whether the list is even authentic, the company said.

However, Google has locked out anyone whose email account was included in the leak. The company is directing them to this Google site to reset their password and regain access to their account.
It's also advising them to take steps to further protect their Gmail accounts, such as creating a stronger password and using an extra security feature called two-step authentication.
And if you haven't heard from Google and you're still worried? In an upcoming blog post, Google will direct users to another website so they can check if their email addresses are listed.

9 Quotes of Modi's first Speech
8 quotes from PM Modi's 65 minute I-Day extempore
Quote # 1
"I can promise you. If you work 12 hours, I will work 13. If you work 14 hours, I will work 15 hours. Why? Because I am not a Pradhan Mantri, but a Pradhan Sevak."
Quote # 2
"From ramparts of the Red Fort, I would like to call people of the world to 'come, make in India'. I want to tell the global companies that we have skill, talent and discipline... From electronics to electricals, from chemicals to pharmaceuticals, come, make in India. Paper to plastic, automobiles to agricultural products, come, make in India, from satellite to submarine, come, make in India. We have the capabilities. Come here and manufacture in India. Sell the products anywhere in the world but manufacture here... we have the power, come I am inviting you."
Quote # 3
"I want to ask parents, when daughters turn 11 or 14, they keep a tab on their movements. Have these parents ever asked their sons where they have been going, who they have been meeting? Rapists are somebody's sons as well! Parents must take the responsibility to ensure that their sons don't go the wrong direction."
Quote # 4
"India's sex ratio is 1000 boys for 940 girls. Who creates this disparity? It isn't God. Don't fill your coffers by sacrificing the mother's womb. People feel that sons will take care of them when they are old. But I have seen aged parents in old-age homes. I have seen families where one daughter serves parents more than five sons."
Quote # 5
"The mantra of our country's youth should be to at least make 1 product that we import. Don't compromise in manufacturing; Stress on Zero defect, Zero effect (impact of environment).

"I am an outsider in New Delhi. I have stayed away from the elite in this city. In the 2 months I have been here, I now have an insider view. I was astonished. I saw many governments functioning within a government. One department fighting the other. So we are trying to break this wall; we want to have one mission and target: Take the nation forward."
Quote # 7
"Can someone tell me, whatever we are doing, have we asked ourselves if our work has helped the poor or come to benefit the nation in any way? We should come out of the 'Why should I care' attitude and dedicate ourselves to the nation's progress."
