SIX MAIN ORGANS OF OUR BODY

Posted by Anil on September 6th, 2011

1. The Brain

Weighing around 3 pounds, the brain contains about 100 billion neurons, which are neural pathways that “talk” to each other through chemical neurotransmitters. These “conversations” are crucial in everything we do. Touch a hot stove with your hand? Your brain immediately shouts to that hand to retract immediately. Got a fever? Your brain signals for an army of cells to fight the foreign invaders. As you can see, your brain is command central. However, a common misconception about the brain is that it naturally loses brain cells as we age. Studies have shown that with proper nutrition, this might not be a necessity.

2. The Heart

Your heart is more than just an organ that pumps blood throughout the body. It’s also our body’s energizer. In fact, our heart creates enough energy to drive a truck 20 miles daily. In our lifetime, that’s a trip to the moon and back. So keeping our heart healthy as we age is an important factor to feeling youthful and vibrant.

3. The Lungs

You might be curious as to how nutrition can play a part in your lung’s health. Yes, the lungs control our breathing, but it does so by taking in oxygen that we breathe in, while removing carbon dioxide from our bodies while we breathe out. The amount of carbon dioxide in our body is dependent upon our diets, and carbon dioxide is a significant factor in shortness of breath.

4. The Kidneys

Many people have heard about kidneys, but are not familiar with its exact functions. They are our body’s impurity dispenser, sifting through 200 quarts of blood a day to excrete waste products and extra water. There is more blood here than even in the brain, liver, or heart. Nutrition is important to keep our kidneys working at their optimal levels.

5. The Liver

How important is your liver? For one, you cannot live without it. The liver performs 500 different functions in our body. Without our liver, those fats from that cheeseburger you ate last week will still be in your body today. So yes, the health of our liver is crucial.

6. The Pancreas

Do you know where the pancreas is located in your body? If you don’t, you’re not alone. It’s often an overlooked member of the six vital organs, but without our pancreas, digestion would not occur.

The following exercises are Top 10 Most Effective Ab Exercises

 Keep in mind that ab exercises won’t reduce fat over the abs or create the coveted ‘six-pack’ abs. That comes with good genes and low body fat, although you should strengthen the abs along with the rest of the body to build muscle and raise your metabolism.

1. Bicycle Exercise

The Bicycle exercise is the best move to target the rectus abdominis (i.e., the ‘six pack’) and the obliques (the waist), according to a study done by the American Council on Exercise. To do this exercise correctly:

1. Lie face up on the floor and lace your fingers behind your head.
2. Bring the knees in towards the chest and lift the shoulder blades off the ground without pulling on the neck.
3. Straight the left leg out to about a 45-degree angle while simultaneously turning the upper body to the right, bringing the left elbow towards the right knee.
4. Switch sides, bringing the right elbow towards the left knee.
5. Continue alternating sides in a ‘pedaling’ motion for 12-16 reps.

2. Captain’s Chair

The Captain’s Chair is the second most effective move for the rectus abdominis as well as the obliques and can be found in most health clubs and gyms. To do it right: 1. Stand on chair and grip handholds to stabilize your upper body.
2. Press your back against the pad and contract the abs to raise the legs and lift knees towards your chest.
3. Don’t arch the back and remember to breathe smoothly.
4. Slowly lower back down and repeat for 12-16 reps.

3. Exercise Ball Crunch

The exercise ball is an excellent tool to strengthen the abs and comes out number three for working the rectus abdominis. To do it right:

1. Lie face-up with the ball resting under your mid/lower back.
2. Cross your arms over the chest or place them behind your head.
3. Contract your abs to lift your torso off the ball, pulling the bottom of your ribcage down toward your hips.
4. As you curl up, keep the ball stable (i.e., you shouldn’t roll).
5. Lower back down, getting a stretch in the abs, and repeat for 12-16 reps.

4. Vertical Leg Crunch

The vertical leg crunch is another effective move for the rectus abdominis and the obliques. To do it right:

1. Lie face up on the floor and extend the legs straight up with knees crossed.
2. Contract the abs to lift the shoulder blades off the floor, as though reaching your chest towards your feet.
3. Keep the legs in a fixed position and imagine bringing your belly button towards your spine at the top of the movement.
4. Lower and repeat for 12-16 reps.

5. Torso Track

The Torso Track is a tough exercise because it can hurt your back if you’re not careful.

1. Grip the handles of the Torso Track and pull the abs in without holding your breath (as though bracing them).
2. Exhale and glide forward as far as you comfortably can. If you collapse in the middle and feel it in your back, you’ve gone too far.
3. Contract the abs to pull your body back.
4. Add tension by using more tension chords.

6. Long Arm Crunch

This move, ranked 6th in the ACE study, emphasizes the upper part of the abs. To do it right:

1. Lie on a mat and extend the arms straight out behind the head with hands clasped, keeping the arms next to the ears.
2. Contract the abs and lift the shoulder blades off the floor.
3. Lower and repeat for 12-16 reps.

7. Reverse Crunch

It may seem like the reverse crunch is for the lower abs but, remember, the rectus abdominis is one long muscle, so you can’t separate upper from lower. To do this move right:

1. Lie on the floor and place hands on the floor or behind the head.
2. Bring the knees in towards the chest until they’re bent to 90 degrees, with feet together or crossed.
3. Contract the abs to curl the hips off the floor, reaching the legs up towards the ceiling.
4. Lower and repeat for 12-16 reps.
5. It’s a very small movement, so try to use your abs to lift your hips rather than swinging your legs and creating momentum.

8. Full Vertical Crunch

In a full verticul crunch, you really work the abs by involving both the upper and lower body. To do it right:

1. Lie on your back and extend the legs up towards the ceiling.
2. Place hands behind your head (lightly cupping it) and contract the abs to lift the shoulder blades off the floor.
3. At the same time, press the heels towards the ceiling, creating a ‘u’ shape with the torso.
4. Lower down and repeat for 12-16 reps.

9. Ab Rocker

The Ab Rocker (or roller) is number 9 for targeting the rectus abdominis. To do it right:

1. Sit on the Ab Rocker and grab the bars in each hand.
2. Contract the abs and rock forward, originating the movement from the abs rather than using momentum.
3. Release and repeat for 1-3 sets of 12-16 reps.
4. Go slowly to reduce momentum. Try to focus on the abs rather than pushing with the arms.

10. Plank on Elbows and Toes

The plank exercise ranked number 10 in the ACE study and is a great way to build endurance in both the abs and back, as well as stabilizer muscles. To do it right:

1. Lie face down on mat resting on the forearms, palms flat on the floor.
2. Push off the floor, raising up onto toes and resting on the elbows.
3. Keep your back flat, in a straight line from head to heels.
4. Tilt your pelvis and contract your abdominals to prevent your rear end from sticking up in the air.
5. Hold for 20 to 60 seconds, lower and repeat for 3-5 reps.

Posted by Anil on August 28th, 2011

anna hazare Anna Hazare: Ends his hunger strikeIndian anti-corruption crusader  Anna Hazare has ended a high-profile hunger strike in Delhi after 12 days. He accepted a glass of fruit juice from a five-year-old girl. His move came a day after MPs expressed support for proposed changes to anti-corruption legislation. After nearly nine hours of debate, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee told parliament the “sense of the House” was behind Anna Hazare’s key demands.

However, an expected vote on the proposals did not take place. Mr Hazare, 74, had vowed not to stop until a tougher bill was passed, but doctors have warned that his health is deteriorating rapidly. He has so far lost 7kg (15lbs) in weight and has refused medical advice to be put on an intravenous drip to help him rehydrate.
