New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and waste management company CR&R Environmental broke ground today on construction of an eight-inch pipeline that will bring carbon-neutral renewable natural gas into the SoCalGas distribution system for the first time. The connecting pipeline will reach approximately 1.4 miles from an existing SoCalGas pipeline to this CR&R anaerobic digestion facility in Perris, Calif., slated to be completed this spring.
Everlax is the ideal support for our body, because it prevents our bowels to become lazy and that excess fat to accumulate in adipose tissue also helps to strengthen our nerves intimately linked in the digestive processes and related nerve problems like colitis and some cases of heartburn. Everlax tones the liver, which results in bile secretions are adequate for proper digestion.
It is used as an aid to the treatment of:
· Constipation
· Digestion lazy
· Obesity
· Colitis nervous
· Digestive Disorders
Ingredients: Spirulina Algae, Boldo, passionflower, manrrubio, cuachalalate, cascara, prickly pear, papaya.

The lymphatic system is key to health and vitality, it is the built-in sanitation hub, the system of channels that filters out poisonous waste leftovers from each and every cell, tissue, and organ. It is our enemy exterminator; it fights off infections with white blood cells.
A total of 4-5 liters of lymph (equivalent to 1.5 gallons) flows in the body daily as it filters through the high concentration of white blood cells in this trash collector system, the Lymphatic system. This viscous (thicker than blood) fluid needs our support and active participation as it does not have a pump, like the heart. Feeling of facial puffiness, head congestion, stuffiness, dizziness, insomnia and swelling are a few of the signs of a sluggish lymphatic system.
This image was created with FractalWorks, a free, high performance fractal renderer for Macintosh computers. You can download fractalworks and try it yourself at the FractalWorks download site.
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system where cleansing of blood, and the detoxification of our bodies takes place. A huge network of lymphatic vessels recycles blood plasma by removing fluid from the tissues, filtering it, and carrying it back into the bloodstream.
These are 10 foods to add into your diet to boost the lymphatic system:
* Water
May not be a food item, but essential to life. Drink plenty of clean, purified water. Water keeps the lymph fluid hydrated and flowing smoothly.
* Cranberry
Cranberry is an amazing emulsifier of fat which means it helps break down excess fat for the lymphatic vessels to carry away.
* Leafy greens
That green nutrient has powerful cleansing properties and beneficial effects on the blood and thus on lymph fluid as well.
* Nuts and seeds
The essential healthy fats found in seeds like chia, nuts, olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado, play a role in fighting inflammation. They also strengthen our inner organs walls.
* Adaptogenic herbs
Goldenseal, Echinacea, and Astragalus are three herbsthat help alleviate inflammation and congestion of the lymph nodes and vessels.
* Garlic
Garlic boosts immune function and combats harmful microbes. It improves circulation and aids in the cleansing of toxins. It boosts the function of your lymphatic system and contains antibacterial qualities.
* Ginger / Turmeric
Both have beneficial effects on digestion and circulation; two systems that are tied directly to the processes of the lymphatic system. Also they help reduce inflammation, thin blood and improve circulation.
* Seaweed
Sea vegetables help the body detox and eliminate excess fluid that can build up in tissues and slow the lymphatic system down.
* Citrus
Citrus fruits aid hydration, carry powerful antioxidants and enzymes, and help cleanse and protect the lymphatic system.
These are foods to add into your diet to boost the lymphatic system:.

¿Qué son los animales del desierto?
Son animales que a pesar de pasarse la vida en condiciones muy extremas de calor, viento y clima seco, estos animales han podido sobrevivir y adaptarse al hábitat desértico.
Características de los animales del desierto
Adaptabilidad: son animales que se adaptan perfectamente a las condiciones extremas del hábitat
Las formas de vida animal en el desierto, están adaptadas a la ausencia de humedad. Son capaces de vivir con pocas cantidades de agua.
Casi todos de los animales del desierto son nocturnos y venenosos, así, que ahorran energía en la cacería y en la digestión. Actúan durante la noche para no verse afectados por el calor del día. Descansando durante las horas más calurosas del día y se alimentan por la noche.
Las estructuras corporales de varios de los animales que viven en el desierto son rígidas y ásperas para poder soportar la aridez y la pérdida de agua y así ser más difíciles de atacar por sus depredadores.
Conoce el habitat de los animales en el desierto
¿Qué comen los animales del desierto?
Uno de los alimentos que consumen la mayoría de los animales en el desierto como los escorpiones y arañas son los insectos, así como roedores, serpientes y lagartos
Algunos como el buitre se alimenta de carroña y serpientes; asi como también del consumo de huevos y animales recién nacidos.
Los mamíferos que viven en el desierto lo hacen en sus bordes, donde encuentran vegetación y agua para consumir.
¿Dónde toman agua los animales que viven en el desierto?
Algunos animales cuentan con sistemas que les permiten obtener agua de los insectos que consumen. Otros animales son tan pequeños que absorben el rocío de las noches.
Los animales de mayor tamaño recurren a los cactus y plantas suculentas. Estas en su interior almacenan agua fresca que puede ser consumida por los animales.
La mayoría de los animales del desierto son nocturnos y venenosos, así, ahorran energía en la cacería y en la digestión. Actúan durante la noche para no verse afectados por el calor del día. Algunos animales del desierto tienen la característica de almacenar agua en sus partes internas.
Los animales del desierto también han desarrollado ciertos comportamientos que les permite almacenar el agua en sus cuerpos y mantener sus requerimientos energéticos al límite
Tipos de animales del desierto y sus características
Reptiles del Desierto: Entre los reptiles se encuentran entre el grupo de animales que viven en el desierto que más han aprendido a adaptarse a estas a las regiones desérticas. Dentro de esta categoría se encuentran las serpientes. De hecho las serpientes del desierto son consideradas como las más venenosas del mundo. Entre estas se encuentra la serpiente de cascabel, la cobra egipcia entre otras. entre otros reptiles podemos mencionar el dragón barbudo, ciertas especies de lagartos, lagartijas y ciertos tipos de tortugas, constituyendo ejemplo la tortuga del desierto de Mojave
Arácnidos e insectos: Existe una gran variedad de insectos que hacen del desierto su lugar de vida. Podemos nombrar las más comunes tales como los escarabajos, las hormigas, pulgas u otro tipo de insectos voladores. También podemos nombrar a la gran variedad de arácnidos de diversos tipos y tamaños que existen, tal como: la araña camello, que se caracteriza por ser una especie muy venosa.
Escorpión: es una especie del desierto por excelencia. En el mundo existen más de 4.000 especies de escorpiones, los cuales habitan en su gran mayoría en zonas desérticas. Las llamadas especies cavadoras, se entierran para soportar el calor y a la vez para cazar a los insectos cercanos.
Los 10 animales del desierto más comunes
Camello: camellos son sin lugar a dudas uno de los primeros animales en los que se piensa cuando se dice “desierto”. Estos animales reservan grandes cantidades de grasa en su joroba, la cual es quemada cuando no son capaces de encontrar comida. Además, los camellos tienen pelos gruesos en las orejas, lo que mantiene la arena fuera de sus oídos; lo mismo ocurre con sus pestañas, las cuales son gruesas y largas.
Dingo: son descendientes de los perros domésticos, los cuales habitan en las zonas desérticas de Australia y pueden llegar a medir 1,5 metros. Estos suelen vivir en grupos familiares, pero se pueden organizar en jaurías para garantizar la caza.
Erizo: son criaturas muy singulares debido a su apariencia, puesto que parecen una mezcla entre una rata y un puercoespín. Estos animales se alimentan de insectos, entre los que destacan los escarabajos. También se pueden alimentar de ratones, aves, lagartos, caracoles y serpientes. Su capacidad de adaptarse a casi cualquier dieta hace que estos animales puedan sobrevivir en el desierto.
Correcaminos:
Donde se pueden encontrar los animales del desierto mas peligrosos
es un ave que vive en los desiertos de América del Norte. Estos magníficos animales pueden sobrevivir sin tener que beber ni una sola gota de agua, puesto que obtienen los líquidos necesarios a través de los alimentos que ingieren.
Víbora de arena: es una de las serpientes más letales del mundo, debido a la hemotoxina producida por ella, capaz de matar cualquier presa de manera casi inmediata. Se alimenta de pequeños mamíferos, pájaros y lagartos.
Escarabajos: existen diversas especies de escarabajos en el desierto, tales como los acatangas o el escarabajo Stenocara gracilipes. El acatanga, sobrevive gracias a las heces fecales de otros animales, las cuales suelen moldear en forma de pelota (de ahí el nombre “pelotero”).
Avestruz de cuello rojo: es una de las aves más grandes del mundo y puede llegar a medir 2,7 metros de altura. Estas aves tienen plumas rosadas y rojizas en su cuello y en las demás zonas de su cuerpo tienen plumaje blanco y negro (en el caso de los machos) y gris (en el caso de las hembras).
Coyote: son miembros de la familia de los cánidos, semejante a los perros, sin embargo son animales salvajes. Esta es una especie impresionante puesto que se puede adaptar a casi cualquier condición climática, desde zonas cubiertas de nieve hasta áreas desérticas, esta especie puede habitar cerca de las poblaciones humanas o pueden vivir aislados, lo que es una prueba de su capacidad de adaptación. Se alimentan de roedores, de escorpiones, de aves y de reptiles.
Gacela común: La gacela común está muy bien adaptada a la vida en el desierto, tanto que puede pasar toda su vida sin tomar agua. Estos animales están activos en el período comprendido entre el ocaso y el amanecer, que es cuando se alimentan de hojas, frutas, raíces o cualquier otra vegetación desértica disponible.
Zorros del desierto: Entre los zorros del desierto destacan el fénec y el zorro pálido. En cuanto al zorro fénec, este es el miembro más pequeño de la familia de los cánidos. Estos zorros habitan en Marruecos, Egipto, Nigeria y Kuwait. Se alimenta de pájaros, insectos y roedores. Con respecto al zorro pálido, estos se encuentran en el territorio comprendido entre Senegal y Sudán. Su pelaje es de un color muy claro, semejante al tono de la arena, lo que les permite camuflarse en el desierto.
Los 10 animales del desierto más peligrosos
Posición N° 10 “Serpientes”: hay varias especies de serpientes venenosas que están al acecho en las arenas del desierto. Las serpientes de cascabel se encuentran entre las más populares. Puedes estar muerto en cuestión de segundos; la mayoría de ellas inyectan toxina en la sangre, lo que conlleva a complicaciones de salud y en el peor de los casos, la muerte.
Posición N° 9 “Escorpiones”: son también uno de los animales venenosos del desierto. De ellos, el escorpión “Deathstalker” es el más conocido, tiene un potente veneno. Mientras que el veneno no suele ser letal, la picadura del Deathstalker puede ser extremadamente dolorosa.
Posición N° 8 “Arañas”: Sobreviven en el desierto debido a sus madrigueras. Suelen esconderse bajo las rocas durante el día, y luego salir por la noche en busca de alimento. La araña de espalda roja es un ejemplo. Es responsable de hasta 10.000 picaduras cada año. Pueden causar hinchazón, náuseas, dolor abdominal, y si no se trata, puede incluso ser fatal.
Posición N° 7 “Ciempiés”: En el desierto existen dos tipos de ciempiés; el gigante (o pelirrojo gigante) y el ciempiés común. Al pisarlo por accidente, puede regalar una picadura muy dolorosa que se hinchará en un instante, aunque no causan la muerte.
Posición N° 6 “Abejas africanas”:
Conoce la lista de animales del desierto
son famosamente llamadas “abejas asesinas”. Cuando se ven amenazadas, incluso a distancia, atacan toda la manada y persiguen a su presa por todas partes.
Posición N°5 “Avispas”: Aparte de las avispas comunes, está la “tarantula hawk wasp”, que se alimenta de las tarántulas y es capaz de ofrecer la segunda picadura más dolorosa de un insecto, suficiente para paralizar durante unos tres minutos. Las Paper Wasps son también avispas comunes, aunque estas no atacan a menos que se vea amenazado su nido.
Posición N° 4 “Pumas”: Este es uno de los gatos más versátiles del mundo. Pueden sobrevivir en los desiertos. Es un cazador feroz y silencioso, y aunque a menudo se alimenta de aves y pequeños reptiles, a veces puede ver a los humanos como presa.
Posición N°3 “Canguro rojo”: Estos animales viven en los desiertos de Australia. Pueden sobrevivir gracias a la conservación del agua; sus riñones hacen que segregue tan poca orina como sea posible, y mientras salta conserva la energía. Descansan durante el día, saliendo solamente desde el atardecer hasta el amanecer, para evitar el calor.
Posición N°2 “Avestruz”: es el ave más grande del mundo y lo creas o no, uno de los animales más peligrosos en los desiertos de África. Tienen piernas largas y potentes que les permiten correr rápido y propinar patadas fuertes. También tienen largas garras en sus dedos de los pies; hasta 53 centímetros (21 pulgadas) de largo. Estas garras pueden dejar heridas punzantes graves e incluso a veces puede destripar a sus víctimas.
Posición N° 1 “Perros salvajes”: el perro salvaje suele ser muy resistente. Los “dingos” son los principales depredadores en Australia, se alimentan de los canguros, aves, insectos entre otros. Aunque son generalmente tímidos con los humanos, algunos atacan, sobre todo cuando tienen hambre. En el peor de los casos, pueden matar al picar la garganta.
¿Cómo viven los animales del desierto?
Los animales en el desierto viven en extremas condiciones climatológicas, donde se presenta un contraste de temperaturas extremadamente calurosas durante el día y muy bajas temperaturas por las noches, lo que nos podría llevar a pensar que pocos son los seres vivos capaces de adaptarse a ese entorno. Sin embargo, estamos equivocados si creemos que es pobre el mundo animal y vegetal en este entorno natural, son muchas las especies que habitan en este ámbito y que son capaces de adaptarse a las condiciones extremas de esta zona, viviendo plenamente en este hábitat.
¿Cómo sobreviven los animales del desierto?
El correcaminos mantiene una dieta de criaturas con tejido húmedo y tiene un sistema digestivo que reabsorbe el agua de las heces del ave antes de la excreción. Este listo pájaro también llora lágrimas de exceso de sal a través de las glándulas por encima de sus ojos.
La gacela Dorcas puede sobrevivir sin nunca beber agua u orinar, ganando hidratación de la humedad en su comida y expulsando sólo ácido úrico.
la joroba del camello almacena la grasa, no el agua, pero el animal puede procesar la grasa para proporcionar alimento y líquido.
Los canguros no sólo se lamerán los brazos para mantenerse limpios. Sus patas delanteras están llenas de vasos sanguíneos que se enfrían por el escupir evaporando en el sol caliente.
Las enormes orejas del zorro lindo de Fennec funcionan de una manera similar, pero sin la lama añadida
El pez de arena sobrevive moviéndose a través de la arena más fresca debajo de la superficie usando un movimiento de natación.
La serpiente devanadora utiliza un movimiento de torsión rápido para asegurar que sólo dos pequeñas partes de su cuerpo puedan entrar en contacto con la arena caliente a la vez.
El pez de arena tiene membranas duras en la piel y el ojo para su protección.
El gato de la arena ha desarrollado garras que no se retraen totalmente, junto con los cojines duros, cubiertos de piel. Estas características le permiten deslizarse a lo largo de la arena sin quemarse los pies.

¿Por qué los humanos deberían proteger a los animales que viven en el desierto?
Por desconocimiento y por la acción del hombre han sido depredadas muchas especies animales, por eso es importante detenernos a pensar que todo lo que existe en este mundo es una cadena en evolución por mandato divino. Es importante establecer programas dirigidos a concienciar al ser humano desde la niñez sobre la importancia de la preservación de la variedad de la vida, esto abarca pero no se limita a la diversidad de especies animales que viven en un espacio determinado incluyendo los desiertos.
Los seres humanos de forma muy general consideramos que no tenemos responsabilidad sobre la crisis de la biodiversidad sin embargo las investigaciones apuntan a poner de manifiesto la contribución de todos nosotros a este flagelo a través de nuestros hábitos.

Desnutrición, hambre y sed en animales en el desierto
En la naturaleza en general incluyendo los desiertos las poblaciones de animales se reproducen por lo general con tasas muy elevadas. Sin embargo, muchos animales recién nacidos mueren sencillamente por la falta de alimento, la relación entre la disponibilidad de comida y la depredación ha sido estudiada en detalle, y hay muchos trabajos publicados en revistas científicas que explican cómo ocurre esto en el caso de animales muy diferentes por falta de alimento. Otros sobreviven en un inicio, pero mueren por falta de alimento más tarde.
La falta de alimento también lleva a la muerte de muchos animales debido a la existencia simultánea de depredación y falta de alimento. Estos dos riegos combinados reducen las posibilidades de supervivencia de los animales. ¿De qué manera se relacionan la falta de alimento y la depredación? En primer lugar, las presas intentan evitar a los animales depredadores en la medida de lo posible. Esto supone que intentarán encontrar comida en lugares donde existe un riesgo menor de animales depredadores. Por ejemplo, buscarán comida en zonas arboladas donde puedan ocultarse, en lugar de en zonas abiertas donde los animales depredadores puedan verlas más fácilmente.
Esto supone que cuando no hay suficiente comida en las zonas donde se ocultan, se enfrentan al hambre y la desnutrición. Cuando esta pasa a ser severa, y los animales corren el riesgo de morir de hambre, empiezan a dejar las zonas arboladas, aumentando su vulnerabilidad a los animales depredadores. Esto lleva a un aumento en el número de muertes por depredación. Por eso la depredación y la desnutrición se combinan para limitar el crecimiento de las poblaciones de animales.

Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

Vetusta, la muy noble y leal ciudad, corte en lejano siglo, hacía la digestión del cocido y de la olla podrida, y descansaba oyendo entre sueños el monótono y familiar zumbido de la campana de coro, que retumbaba allá en lo alto de la esbelta torre en la Santa Basílica. La torre de la catedral, poema romántico de piedra, delicado himno, de dulces líneas de belleza muda y perenne, era obra del siglo diez y seis, aunque antes comenzada, de estilo gótico, pero, cabe decir, moderado por un instinto de prudencia y armonía que modificaba las vulgares exageraciones de esta arquitectura. La vista no se fatigaba contemplando horas y horas aquel índice de piedra que señalaba al cielo; no era una de esas torres cuya aguja se quiebra de sutil, más flacas que esbeltas, amaneradas, como señoritas cursis que aprietan demasiado el corsé; era maciza sin perder nada de su espiritual grandeza, y hasta sus segundos corredores, elegante balaustrada, subía como fuerte castillo, lanzándose desde allí en pirámide de ángulo gracioso, inimitable en sus medidas y proporciones. Como haz de músculos y nervios la piedra enroscándose en la piedra trepaba a la altura, haciendo equilibrios de acróbata en el aire; y como prodigio de juegos malabares, en una punta de caliza se mantenía, cual imantada, una bola grande de bronce dorado, y encima otra más pequeña, y sobre esta una cruz de hierro que acababa en pararrayos.

Kapalbhati pranayama is a breathing technique in the yoga that is said to have a number of benefits, including improving digestion and circulation, reducing stress and anxiety, and improving overall well-being. Here's how you can learn to practice kapalbhati pranayama :
Find a comfortable and quiet place to sit, with your back straight and your feet planted firmly on the ground.
Begin by taking a few deep breaths to calm your mind and relax your body.
Exhale forcefully through your nose, contracting your abdominal muscles as you do so.
Inhale passively through your nose, allowing your abdomen to expand.
Repeat this process for several minutes, gradually increasing the speed and intensity of your exhales as you become more comfortable with the technique.
As you practice, try to focus your attention on your breath and the movement of your abdomen.
When you are finished, take a few deep breaths and allow your body to relax.
It's important to note that kapalbhati pranayama should be practiced under the guidance of a trained yoga instructor, especially if you have any health concerns. It's also important to listen to your body and stop if you feel uncomfortable or experience any pain.

Popular enzyme coffee for weight reduction boosts metabolism and suppresses hunger. Enzyme coffee—what is it? Most importantly, is it safe and effective?
Enzyme coffee includes enzymes, proteins that catalyze chemical processes in the body. Enzymes help in digestion, metabolism, detoxification, and more. Enzymes in coffee boost caffeine and other chemicals like antioxidants and polyphenols.
Enzyme coffee usually contains amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, and lactase. These enzymes help digest and absorb carbs, proteins, lipids, fiber, and lactose. This prevents bloating, gas, constipation, and other digestive disorders that might hinder weight reduction.
Enzyme coffee boosts metabolism by burning more calories. Caffeine increases body temperature and nerve activity. This boosts energy expenditure and fat oxidation. Enzymes can boost cellular function and mitochondrial activity.
Enzyme coffee reduces hunger by making you feel full. Caffeine increases leptin and peptide YY and decreases hunger hormones. Enzymes help regulate blood sugar and minimize spikes and crashes that cause cravings and overeating.
Enzyme coffee seems like a weight-loss miracle. Does science support these claims? Sadly, little. Enzyme coffee with weight reduction research are few. Most animal and in vitro research may not applicable to people. Human studies are generally tiny, brief, or poorly planned.
Enzyme coffee lowered body fat and waist circumference in overweight persons after 12 weeks, according to a 2018 Journal of Functional Foods research. The study featured a limited sample size (30 participants), no control group, and a significant dropout rate (10 individuals).
Enzyme coffee boosted resting metabolic rate and fat oxidation in healthy persons after a single dose in a 2019 Journal of Medicinal Food research. The crossover design (the same people got enzyme coffee and placebo), short length (4 hours), and lack of blinding (the participants knew what they were drinking) were drawbacks.
Thus, enzyme coffee's weight loss safety and efficacy require more study. Benefits and dangers may exist. Enzyme coffee's high caffeine level may induce anxiety, sleeplessness, allergic reactions, or digestive issues.
Red light treatment for weight loss may be a more dependable technique to reduce weight. Red light therapy stimulates cells and tissues using low-level laser light. Red light treatment has been used for decades to heal wounds, rejuvenate skin, relieve pain, and grow hair.
Red light treatment (scienlodic.com/blogs/red-light-therapy/red-light-therapy-...)targets the sources of fat buildup to help you lose weight. Red light treatment boosts ATP generation, which boosts metabolism. All your biological processes and activities, including your basal metabolic rate (BMR), are powered by ATP. Red light treatment boosts ATP levels and energy expenditure, helping you burn more calories and fat throughout the day.
Hormones and neurotransmitters in red light treatment lower hunger. Red light treatment increases serotonin and lowers ghrelin, the hormone that induces hunger. Red light treatment can help you maintain a balanced diet by harmonizing hormones and neurotransmitters.
Red light treatment stimulates lipolysis, which breaks fat into fatty acids and glycerol, shrinking fat cells. Translocator protein (TSPO) is activated by red light treatment in the subcutaneous fat layer. TSPO moves fatty acids from fat cells to the circulation, where they can be burned or removed. Red light treatment can trim and tighten your physique by promoting lipolysis.
Red light treatment dilates blood vessels and capillaries to promote blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. This improves oxygen and nutrition supply to cells and tissues and waste and toxin elimination. Red light treatment improves blood flow and the lymphatic system, preventing fluid retention and inflammation that can cause weight gain.
Red light treatment for weight loss improves metabolism, appetite, fat reduction, and body composition, according to various research. Red laser therapy lowered body fat percentage, waist circumference, hip circumference, and thigh circumference in obese women after 4 weeks, according to a 2012 Lasers in Surgery and Medicine research. Another 2015 Photomedicine and Laser Surgery study revealed that red light therapy enhanced fat reduction by 80% compared to exercise alone in healthy males after 6 weeks.
Contour light therapy belts (scienlodic.com/products/scienlodic-red-light-therapy-weig...)are great for weight loss using red light treatment. A waist-worn contour light treatment belt produces red light at a precise wavelength and intensity. The shape light treatment belt targets abdominal fat, where most individuals store fat. If desired, the contour light treatment belt can cover your arms, legs, or back.
Contour light treatment belts are simple to use at home or anywhere. Wear it daily for 20 minutes, especially before or after a workout. Contour light therapy belts are pleasant and painless. It does not heat or harm skin or tissues. It's also FDA-approved.
A contour light therapy belt might help you lose weight faster and simpler than diet and exercise. It boosts metabolism, suppresses hunger, shrinks fat cells, and improves blood circulation, enhancing the weight reduction advantages of enzyme coffee. Enzyme coffee and contour light therapy belt can help you lose weight naturally.
Enzyme coffee and contour light therapy belts for weight loss are available online and at certain health stores. Consult your doctor before starting any new weight loss program or product. This way, you can be sure they're right for you and don't interact with your meds.
Weight reduction is difficult but attainable with the appropriate tools and tactics. If you want to reduce weight naturally and effectively, try enzyme coffee or contour light therapy belt. They won't fix everything, but they'll assist.
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system where cleansing of blood, and the detoxification of our bodies takes place. A huge network of lymphatic vessels recycles blood plasma by removing fluid from the tissues, filtering it, and carrying it back into the bloodstream.
These are 10 foods to add into your diet to boost the lymphatic system:
* Water
May not be a food item, but essential to life. Drink plenty of clean, purified water. Water keeps the lymph fluid hydrated and flowing smoothly.
* Cranberry
Cranberry is an amazing emulsifier of fat which means it helps break down excess fat for the lymphatic vessels to carry away.
* Leafy greens
That green nutrient has powerful cleansing properties and beneficial effects on the blood and thus on lymph fluid as well.
* Nuts and seeds
The essential healthy fats found in seeds like chia, nuts, olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado, play a role in fighting inflammation. They also strengthen our inner organs walls.
* Adaptogenic herbs
Goldenseal, Echinacea, and Astragalus are three herbsthat help alleviate inflammation and congestion of the lymph nodes and vessels.
* Garlic
Garlic boosts immune function and combats harmful microbes. It improves circulation and aids in the cleansing of toxins. It boosts the function of your lymphatic system and contains antibacterial qualities.
* Ginger / Turmeric
Both have beneficial effects on digestion and circulation; two systems that are tied directly to the processes of the lymphatic system. Also they help reduce inflammation, thin blood and improve circulation.
* Seaweed
Sea vegetables help the body detox and eliminate excess fluid that can build up in tissues and slow the lymphatic system down.
* Citrus
Citrus fruits aid hydration, carry powerful antioxidants and enzymes, and help cleanse and protect the lymphatic system.
