Quit Smoking – Proper Motivation

Most people quit smoking for themselves. That’s not the proper motivation to quit successfully, I think.

Are you a smoker? Are you trying to quit? You did but failed, for a couple of times. Do you know why? I think not.

I’m not an expert at this but I’m 10 months successful now. Never read something or taken any advice from someone. I did it all by myself, my own ways.

When I first decided on quitting smoke, I thought of the first time that little stick of leaves touched my lips, its smoke in and out of my lungs. It’s been too long that those smokes are incurring damages to my lungs. “I won’t let that happen anymore”, I said to myself. Dying early is not an option. I love me!

For you and most people that want to quit would say that is a great idea. Do it for yourself. Live a healthy life. Of course that is great. You love yourself, sure. You’d like to do something for yourself and quitting is something that you like. But you also love smoking don’t you? That’s the reason you did it in the first place, you love smoking. So what, which of the two things that you like to do for yourself would you do? You can’t say “I love myself more” because there is no other person, it’s just you. It would be difficult for you to do 2 things that you like which are exactly opposite. It’s like wanting your right leg move forward and your left leg backward, you’ll sure stay stuck.

If you will weigh your options, it’s practically balanced, you against yourself. What you need is to bring in more weight on the positive side. That is what others will tell you to do, I think. Weighing things? What I will suggest is that it is better if you remove yourself from the option of motivation. This way there will be no weighing, no negative side, no backward, only forward.

But now, you’re out of motivation! The good thing here is there is no more negative. So let’s find the positive.

It’s human nature to be good, to help others, to do things for others. Sometimes we do things first for others before we do for ourselves. That is what you will do, help someone. Do the quitting for someone else, not for you. How? How would you quitting be helping someone? Think of this, the worst case here is you dying early if you continue to smoke. Who will suffer the most when that happens? He/she will be hurt so much you wish you will take his/her place. That person will be your motivation, your reason on quitting smoke.

That’s it, the proper motivation is not you but someone else.

Before you start on quitting, again, think of your motivation first. Do you have the proper one?

The Truth About Sunscreen and Spf

Summer is fast approaching and the best destination is the beach, but before you plan to get that perfect tan, be sure to use a sunscreen that protects you from both UVA and UVB rays of the sun.

There are so many sunscreen prodcts on the market, some expensive and some are cheap, but whether they are expensive or cheap, read the label and choose the one that can protect you from both UVB and UVA rays of the sun. In most sunscreen products, they only protect you from UVB rays that cause skin cancer. Protection from UVA rays is important too because these rays are the ones that causes premature aging of the skin, so UVB protection is not enough. Sunscreen manufacturers are now on a race on who can come up with the highest number of sun protection factor (SPF) in their product. Some came up with SPF 70+, 85, and 100+.

According to Dr. Barbara A. Gilchrest, a dermatology professor at Boston UniversitySchool of Medicine, “A sunscreen’s SPF, or sun protection factor, measures how much the product shields the sun’s shorter-wave ultraviolet B rays, known as UVB radiation, which can cause sunburn. If adequately applied, sunscreens with sky-high SPFs offer slightly better protection against lobster-red burns than an SPF 30. But they don’t necessarily offer stellar protection against the more deeply penetrating ultraviolet A radiation, or so-called aging rays.”



Dr. Elma D. Baron, an assistant professor of dermatology at Case Western Reserve University who sees patients at hospitals in Cleveland, said “Just walking down the drugstore aisle and seeing a SPF 90 or 95, they assume, ‘This is what I need.” But that’s not necessarily the case. No SPF, not even 100+, offers 100 percent protection. What’s more, both UVA and UVB radiation can lead to skin cancer, which is why dermatologists now advise using sunscreens with an SPF of at least 15 and UVA-fighting ingredients like an avobenzone that doesn’t degrade in light or Mexoryl SX.

The difference in UVB protection between an SPF 100 and SPF 50 is marginal. Far from offering double the blockage, SPF 100 blocks 99 percent of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks 98 percent. (SPF 30, that old-timer, holds its own, deflecting 96.7 percent).

The number of SPF doesn’t really matter; it’s the amount of application that matters. To achieve the SPF indicated on the label of the sunscreen lotion that you bought you have to consume the whole content of the bottle. You can do this by re-applying the lotion on your skin every 30 minutes or every time you sweat and after swimming. Applying only half the amount of what’s inside the bottle wouldn’t give you half of the SPF that is indicated on the label but rather, the protection you get is way less than that.

So before planning to achieve that perfect tan, be sure to achieve first the needed sun protection for your skin

Public health services and the impact on the surroundings

Public health service can be divided into two kinds: diseases prevention services and disease –control services.



Good health comes from the available of the nutritious food, clean air and drinking water and good sanitation in the form of clean latrines. To achieve these, both people’s cooperation and governmental efforts are necessary.



Kerala has a low death rate among the people in general, but particularly among infants and pregnant women, only because of the availability of these facilities. Let us understand this in some detail.



About 24 lakh children below the age of five die in India every year. Madhya Pradesh has the highest infant mortality rate with 13.7 per thousand live births, while Kerala has the lowest with 18. In Andhra Pradesh, the infant mortality rate is 85 per thousand. The death rate among pregnant women is 707 against lakh live births in Uttar Pradesh, 670 in Rajasthan, 498 in Madhya Pradesh, 159 in Andhra Pradesh, and 79 in Tamil Nadu.



From an analysis of the above data, we can see that back ward states like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh have a high death –rate because of lack of sanitation and contaminated water supply. In Tamil Nadu and Kerala, where sanitation is good, untimely deaths are fewer.



Diseases such as diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria, sepsis and tuberculosis cause most of the deaths. All these diseases are the result of unhygienic conditions. In Andhra Pradesh, public health is a major causality in the backward areas of Srikakulam, Vijayanagaram, Telangana, Adilabad and Mahabubnagar.



The most important challenge for the poor is housing. Our villages face a shortage of one crore 50 lakh houses. About one crore 15 Lakhs houses are beyond repair. About 50 lakh houses are very congested. According to the 2001 census, 19 crore families live in rural areas. Of these, 40% live in one –room and 30% in two-room houses. Only 26% of rural families live in three or more rooms. About 34 lakh families have no separate room as such. This is why as part of the Bharat Nirman program, a target of building 60 lakh houses in four years for the below poverty line people has been set, in our rural areas, only 81% of the families have drinking water facilities, 44% have electricity, 34% have drainage facility and 22% have sanitary latrines.



Initially, migration to large cities like Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Kurnool, Warangal and Rajahmundry is either for education or employment. Soon, however, the people settle down in such places. This increases the challenge of urban housing.



Thousands of pilgrims come to temple –towns like Tirupati, Bhadrachalam and Simhachalam every day. They cause immense damage to the rivers and lakes around. Tourists and pilgrims consume water carelessly and damage the soil by littering carelessly. As a result, even basic environmental resources become scarce to the people residing in these areas.



In Sattupalli and Dammayipeta villages of Khammam district, people have stopped littering waste in the open every house and school has proper sanitary condition provide. About 708 schools in the district are implementing the program. The doctors, engineers and sarpanchas here went to each house and convinced the people about the need for hygiene. They made cement rings and installed them in each house as a dustbin.



Even in tribal areas, the construction of toilets has changed people’s lives. The educational committees cooperated in building toilets. In every school, with the help of the United Nations children’s fund [UNICEF] and with constant guidance from experts, the project was completed under the leadership. Though such initiatives and efforts, we can protect our lakes, rivers and environment. We can prevent diseases such as diarrhea and cholera. The examples of the two villages in Khammam should be an inspiration to us.



In 2003, there were 173 municipalities in the state. In 2006, there are 123, showing the rapid development of urban areas. In this rapid urbanization, our state stands seventh in India. In 1971, our urban population was 84 Lakhs. Now it is more than 2.5 crore.



While the urban population in Telangana is 44% the coastal areas have 41% Rayalaseema has only 15%. Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam are the two metropolises in Andhra Pradesh. Nearly 30% of our urban population is concentrated in these two cities.



In 1971, only four cities attracted the migrants. In 2001, twenty-eight cities did so. Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Guntur and Vijayawada are under severe pressure from migrants.



Any city can provide facilities for a limited number of people. But with growing populations and increasing migration, the problems increase many times over. There are shortfalls in sanitation, electricity and water supply. Slums, overcrowded buses, traffic jams and obscene of even basic facilities are a common sight. All this is due to growing urban population.

Recipes for Two Special Dosas-Wheat Dosa and Neeru Dosa

Dosa is a dish which is very much popular, especially in South India. It is the best choice for a heavy breakfast. There are quite a few varieties of dosa. Here, I would like to share two of the varieties which are not so commonly seen. They are: Wheat Dosa and Neeru Dosa.







WHEAT DOSA






Also called Godhuma dosa, this is a one of the nice varieties of dosa and serves as a good oil-free alternative to chapattis.







Ingredients:











Wheat flour (Atta): 2 cups





Rice flour: 2 cups





Salt-to taste





Curds-1/2 cup (optional)









Method:











1. Mix the wheat flour, rice flour and curds with salt. Make a dosa batter and leave it for 5-10 minutes.



2. Add finely cut green chillies, ginger and curry leaves.



3. Heat oil and prepare some seasoning with mustard and chana dal. Add it to the batter and mix well.



4. Heat tawa and pour the dosa batter onto it after smearing oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes till the dosas get a reddish tinge.







A slight variation in the preparation of this dosa, if planned in advance, would be to soak wheat and rice for 3-4 hours, grind it and leave it overnight for fermentation, before starting to prepare dosas.
