Water intake keeps disease away

With the summer fast approaching, let us be prepared to fight the heat with a bottle of pure drinking water. Most people drink water only after the throat becomes parched and tongue turns dry. But by then, dehydration has already set in and it does not help if one consumes sugary beverages, say doctors. These beverages do not provide the nutrients the body needs at that time. Our body is made of 70 per cent of water. It is needed to digest food, and for smooth functioning of muscles, nerves and joints. Water flushes out toxins through the kidney and keeps the skin supple and soft. You should make it a habit to drink two-and-a-half glasses of water after brushing your teeth in the morning and 200 ml of water before going to bed at night. Drinking a glass of water every two hours activates the gut. Anybody over the age of 20 years needs 10 glasses of water. That is about 2.5 to 3 litres. Without water the skin loses its elasticity and blood becomes thicker. Cells require w...

Condoning suicide attacks

In this chilling security camera footage, a female suicide bomber (Tamil Tiger terrorist) on a mission to kill a SriLankan Cabinet minister Douglas Devananda (a moderate Tamil political leader) is seen patiently answering questions in a bustling government office before calmly standing up and detonating the bomb hidden in her bra. People in the discussion that followed this video generalized everything. Not all Tamils, Sinhalese and Muslims are terrorists. Out of 70 million tamil population, how many do you think should be wiped out? Out of 1.200 billion muslim population, how many do you think should be wiped out?

Spot The Fake Smile

Most people are surprisingly bad at spotting fake smiles. One possible explanation for this is that it may be easier for people to get along if they don't always know what others are really feeling. Although fake smiles often look very similar to genuine smiles, they are actually slightly different, because they are brought about by different muscles, which are controlled by different parts of the brain. Fake smiles can be performed at will, because the brain signals that create them come from the conscious part of the brain and prompt the zygomaticus major muscles in the cheeks to contract. These are the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth outwards. Genuine smiles, on the other hand, are generated by the unconscious brain, so are automatic. When people feel pleasure, signals pass through the part of the brain that processes emotion. As well as making the mouth muscles move, the muscles that raise the cheeks – the orbicularis oculi and the pars orbitalis – also contra...
