India’s performance in twenty20 is always better. So it is Australia who has to play some tough cricket if they want to win against India. Australia’s performance against India in twenty20 cricket is also not outstanding. Till now Australia played two matches against India in twenty20 and lost both of them which include the semi-final of twenty20 cricket world cup where India kicked out Australia from the tournament. So you can feel how desperate Australia will be to win this 20/20 match. The Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that they would be treating this one off Twenty20 as an opportunity to gear up for the ODI series and the Aussie skipper said they will be going all out at their opponents to settle some old scores in this format. This one off twenty20 match is going to be a classic and there is no hesitation. So Best of luck to both team.

Meditation as anti-aging medicine

Oxidative stress is considered a primary agent of aging in many leading theories of aging, and is conceptualised as a product of oxygen radical formation during normal metabolic functioning and/or resulting from deficiencies in protective endogenous antioxidant, free radical scavenging capacities.

Several studies on meditation have demonstrated reduced indices of oxidative stress during meditation and such reduced levels of oxidative stress have been hypothesised to reflect a slower rate of aging. According to some scientists, meditation is the best anti-aging medicine.

In particular, the idea that normal metabolic functioning, which causes oxidative radical byproducts, in turn causes aging over time (i.e. the "rate of living" theory of aging), is currently a subject of broad and intense debate, with proponents and critics offering many explanations to resolve apparent inconsistencies and contradictions in the data.

If, as some contend, reduced metabolic rate leads to the (relative) retardation of aging, then the practice of the classic meditative regimen may indeed be associated with significant retardation of aging and/or extension of life span and health span on the basis of much data on the metabolism-lowering effects of meditation.

Of particular interest in this regard are studies by researchers from Stanford, Harvard, Rockefeller University, and other research institutions on the special ability of some long-term, virtuoso yoga practitioners to induce and maintain profoundly lowered metabolic rates during meditation, with reductions ranging from 38–64 percent below resting levels!

Such lowered metabolism is actually within the range of hibernating animals, and hibernation has been associated with extended longevity in some studies because of lowered metabolism, according to some investigators.

Research now shows that meditation also increases levels of melatonin. Melatonin has several anti aging effects, and studies done on the compound suggest that it helps protect against age-related degenerative diseases. The scientific connection between melatonin and meditation was first explored in 1995 by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center's Stress Reduction and Relaxation Programme.

A recent study published in the journal Biological Psychology confirmed this finding. A 1995 study conducted on rats however, suggests that consistent small doses of Melatonin may prevent the normal age-related decline in male testosterone levels, possibly increasing sexual activity levels in later years. The researchers found that meditation before bedtime increased melatonin levels for that night. No increases in blood melatonin levels were noted on nights where participants did not meditate. This suggests that regular practice of meditation is necessary.

One of the most popular results of meditation is that it can clean and transform your skin seemingly overnight. It is the "premier drug" for maintaining youthfulness and fighting aging.

First aid to handle stroke

A stroke occurs when there is bleeding into our brain, or normal blood flow to our brain is hampered. Within minutes of being deprived of essential nutrients, brain cells start dying — a process that may continue over the next several hours.

A stroke is a true emergency. Seek immediate medical assistance. The sooner treatment is given, the more likely it is that damage can be minimised. Every moment counts. If you notice a sudden onset of one or more of the following signs or symptoms, seek for local emergency medical assistance immediately:

• Sudden weakness or numbness in your face, arm or leg on one side of your body
• Sudden dimness, blurring or loss of vision, particularly in one eye
• Loss of speech or trouble talking or understanding speech
• Deviation of mouth to a direction
• Sudden, severe headache — a bolt out of the blue — with no apparent cause
• Unexplained dizziness, unsteadiness or a sudden fall, especially if accompanied by any of the other symptoms
• Vertigo or unconsciousness for a while that is the sign of TIA (transient ischemic attack in the brain)

Risk factors for stroke include having high blood pressure, having had a previous stroke, smoking, having diabetes and having heart disease. Your risk of stroke increases as you age.

Salt restriction necessary in high blood pressure

Many people with high blood pressure see salt as a villain. According to conventional wisdom, just a few shakes can send blood pressure high. But is salt really so dangerous?

After decades of studies, scientists finally have answer to the question: Yes and no. For many people, extra salt really does raise blood pressure. In a few cases, however, it seems to lower pressure. And for some people, it does not really matter.

Nobody knows why some people are sensitive to salt and others are not. But researchers have some clear-cut advice — to be on the safe side, everyone should keep a lid on salt intake. The amount of salt that we eat has a direct effect on our blood pressure.

The more salt we take, the higher our blood pressure goes. This is true, not only in people with high blood pressure, but also in people with normal blood pressure. A high salt intake also causes other health damage such as greater retention of water in your body, which leads to swelling of the ankles.

How much salt should I consume each day?
The Food and Nutrition Board (of America) recommends a daily intake of no more than 2,300 mg. And as one study shows, reducing salt to 1,500 mg a day may be even better. The study published in the December 18, 2001 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine, examined six diets and found that a low-sodium regimen could make a healthy diet even healthier.

Half of the study subjects ate a typical diet but were divided into three groups, each consuming different levels of sodium: high (3,300 mg each day), intermediate (2,400 mg per day), and low (1,500 mg each day). The participants in the other half of the study ate meals rich in fruits and vegetables but low in fat and cholesterol (also known as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension or DASH diet).

Their diets also were subdivided into three different levels of salt consumption. The one-sixth of the subjects who ate the lowest-sodium DASH diet enjoyed the greatest reduction in blood pressure, even among people who did not have high blood pressure (also called hypertension) to start with. This group lost an average of 9 points from their systolic pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) — the biggest drop in any group.

Weinberger's findings highlight two important points. First, some people can significantly reduce their blood pressure by cutting back on salt. Second, salt is just a start. You can give your heart extra protection by getting plenty of fruits and vegetables every day and going easy on fats. Not only will you lower your blood pressure, you will reduce your risk of atherosclerosis (a form of hardening of the arteries) and heart disease.

If I do not have high blood pressure, do I still need to watch my salt?
Another recent NHLBI study suggests that salt sensitivity can be a dangerous condition — even among people who do not have high blood pressure. Researchers followed up on a group of 708 people who had been evaluated for salt sensitivity and hypertension 25 years ago and were surprised by their findings.

Subjects who had normal blood pressure but were sensitive to salt were just as likely as subjects with hypertension to have died of heart disease.

Since there is no blood test or other quick way to measure salt sensitivity, it is best not to take any chances.

How can I cut back on salt?
You can start by going easy on the saltshaker. It is important to understand, however, that the average person gets 90 percent of his or her salt from other sources. Many "convenience" foods such as frozen dinners, restaurant meals, luncheon meats, fast foods, and canned soups are extremely high in salt.

The best way to protect yourself is to prepare meals at home. If you do eat processed foods, check the labels carefully — and aim for a daily dose of 2,300 mg of sodium or less from all your food sources.
