oxygen is no life saviour...

क्या सच में ऑक्सीजन लाइफ saviour  है?  इसका उत्तर है हाँ और  ना दोनों।  हम जानते है ऑक्सीजन जीवनदायनी है। पर क्या आप को पता है , यही ऑक्सीजन शरीर के लिए नुकसानदायक है। ऑक्सीजन जीवन के लिए आवश्यक है. परन्तु यही ऑक्सीजन फ्री रेडिकल्स (free  Radicals ) भी बनाते है। फ्री रेडिकल्स एक तरह के highly रिएक्टिव molecules होते है. जब ये molecule शरीर के cells  से interact करते है , तब ये शरीर को डैमेज करते है।  और शरीर में बीमारी और रोग पैदा करते है. क्या कभी सोचाः है कुत्ता इतना कम  क्यों जीता है?  शायद इसलिए क्यूंकि वो तेज़ सांस लेता है।  ऑक्सीजन ज़्यादा लेने की वजह से फ्री रेडिकल्स की मात्रा  उसके शरीर में ज़्यादा  बन जाते होंगे. जिससे  डैमेज और ageing  जल्दी हो जाती होगी ।

जैसा antidote हर poison के लिए होता है, वैसे ही antioxidants फ्री रेडिकल्स के लिए होते है। हमारे शरीर में ऐसे एंटीऑक्सीडेंट्स प्राकर्तिक रूप से मौजूद होते है। पर जब फ्री रेडिकल्स की मात्रा शरीर में एंटीऑक्सीडेंट्स से ज़्यादा हो  है, तब शरीर में stress produce होता है। जिसे free radical stress कहते है।
Do you know oxygen is both good and bad for the body? We know oxygen gives life to us. But do you know , that oxygen takes life too. Oxygen produces free radicles in the body. Free radicles are highly reactive molecules. When these free radicals interacts with body cells, they damages the cells. These damaged cells makes you ill and also these are the main culprit of pre mature ageing. To tackle these highly dangerous molecules, body creates antioxidants naturally. But when antioxidants becomes less in number in comparison to free radicals , this stressed the body , which is known as free radical stress.

Dwarka and Atlantis

Lost Empires

The two empires what i am referring here are not just few years old. These empires had their roots in ancient world, as far as mythological books are concerned . Here i am talking about ancient empires : The DWARKA of Indian and the ATLANTIS of Greeks. The interesting fact between these two empires is their nature of destruction. Both of them were destroyed when a high Tsunami came in the great ocean and everything in and around got lost. And the great empire lost  like as they were never there. Empires got buried deep inside the ocean and the proof of their existence came under question mark. No one from that world is alive who can claim that these two were really there. However recent archaeological survey claims that they have found Dwarka city Inside the Arabian sea. And the carbon dating points out the same age old empire of Krishna. We found some positive clues about the DWARKA, but scientists and researchers still not convinced about the ATLANTIS. They think Atlantis is just a Fabled empire. Atlantis was first mentioned in the book where the Greek Philospher Plato describes the great Empire of Atlantis in "Tameus" a Socratic dialogue written in 360 b.c. The description claimed Atlantis to be very beautiful empire. Every story has some basis. We cannot be so sure that these kingdoms were not there in past. Like every religious book has Adam and Eve, may be ancient worlds described in books are same but their names are different.

Hologram not an Unusual Technology?

I was watching television. One of the channel was telecasting a mythological serial. In the show one sage was shown doing severe penance. Suddenly lord Shiva appears before him from no where, give him boon  and blessings and then he disappeared. People used to laugh on such kind of serials and do not believe in such stories. It was like a joke for them. May be this was our inability to understand the super technology used by the Gods what we call today as "Hologram". Hologram are like a living images. They are like a photographic ghosts which seems to be moving. We have long association with this technique but realisation of the technology is more practical now. I remember, with a big bubble or boomer chewing gum a sticker used to be free. Sticker had properties like if we tilt it , the image on it changed to other character. For example image of Mickey mouse changed to minnie mouse which again changed to Mickey mouse whenever we slightly tilt the sticker. Now days with the advancement of technology Hologram seems to be more significant . We can relate now why mythological stories have examples of such technologies. It is the good way to communicate with people even if you are miles apart. Our great gods and sages were not only super souls but they were super scientists as well. The basis of hologram technology is mentioned much earlier and it was in practice at that time. Hologram technology is definitely a revolutionary science and with the advancement, it will be more evident and practical. May be then we will start respecting our great Mythology.

Tobacco injurious to Health

When we say smokeless, it means anything which involves no burning and it is not difficult for us to guess what smokeless tobacco signifies. Tobacco product which is taken orally or which involves engulfing of that particular product, categorise under smokeless tobacco. On television commercials we have seen warning that alerts about the harmful effects of cigarette smoking. But hazardous consequences of smokeless tobacco is still yet to discourage strongly. Smokeless tobacco also causes various types of cancer and diseases.

Types of Smokeless Tobacco

1) Chewing : Available in the form of loose leaves of nicotine and placed in between the cheeks and lower lips. It is usually chewed, swallowed and spitted.

2) Snuffing: snuff is either moisy or dry and it is powdered form of tobacco. It is taken orally but some people also inhales it.

Composition of Tobacco

Smokeless tobacco is equally injurious and has dangerous components like nitrosamines, radioactive substances like Polonium-210, and Aromatic Hydrocarbons.

Diseases it cause

Apart from oral cancer, oesophageal cancer and pancreatic cancers, smokeless tobacco can cause heart diseases, gum disease, and leukoplakia.

Things to be done

Tobacco consumption in any manner should be strongly discouraged. People should be educated and awared about the ill effects of tobacco. Mass media campaign, government policies and responsibilities of medical professionals and health promoters is critical in this regard.
