  • A recent  US study revels that forgiveness does not come in natural for both sexes, but males find it difficult to forgive than females. In forgiveness-related studies conducted by the US-based Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, gender differences between men and women time and again came into existence.
  • Forgiveness not only mean forgetting, condoning or excusing on bad things happened. But one has to acknowledge it and then let it go, along with the load of irritation and hatred.
  • Another previous study has revealed that forgiveness may be good for ones health as holding a complaint appears to affect the cardiovascular and nervous systems. According psychologist Julie Juola Exline, men find it difficult to forgive compared to women do, who conducted the present study between 1998 and 2005 with more than 1,400 college students.
  • Nevertheless, it is found that men become less merciless if they develop compassion toward an offender.
  • The researchers, however, found that both sexes are more forgiving when they see themselves as capable of committing a similar action, the Science Daily online said.

    Ekta Kapoor denies reports that Pulkit Samrat of KSBKBT serial has won the court caseFiled Under: Uncategorized

    Pulkit Samrat, who plays Lakshya in the popular soap “Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi”, has accused  Ekta kapoor that she had poorly paid and under-utilised and this has bewildered the soap tycoon.

    Pulkit has earlier filed a petition in the Bombay High Court against Balaji Telefilms Limited for non-payment and also for a contract that restricted him from working with any other production house for three years. He claims that the case has been won by him.

    According to Ektha, “Pulkit seems to have misconstrued what the honorable bench’s verdict. My lawyers know exactly what the court said, and it is not what Pulkit is making it out to be,”

    According to sources in Balajai,Pulkit wanted to give away serials and wanted to work in films. So for that intention, he made some lame excuses on health aspects and hence he could come for 3-4 hours in a day for the shooting. This has disturbed the whole situation as the time table was mismanaged. The whole matter started thereafter. But it is not true that Pulkit has won the case , as the case is still pending in the court. It is understood that he took a break when his track was at its peak in the serial and this has infuriated Balaji camp.

    According to reports, Ekta will litigate the newspaper, Mumbai Mirror, for publishing the ambiguous report, which suggested that Pulkit has won the case.

    Bad Breath - What Are the Health Problems Causing Bad BreathFiled Under: Articles, Medical

    Are you right now wondering, what are the health problems causing bad breath in your case?

    Bad Breath

    The answers are numerous, as there are many health problems that can actually cause halitosis as a secondary symptom. Obviously only your doctor can give you an accurate diagnosis, but there are some common conditions we can consider here. What Are the Health Problem From Inside the Mouth? It may surprise you to learn that not all bad breath problems originate in the mouth. Some come from the stomach, the digestive system, or elsewhere. But when it comes to the inside of your mouth, health problems might include gum disease or periodontitis, which is a weakening of the bones underneath the teeth. This weakening comes from excessive bacteria in the mouth and may be the result of poor oral hygiene. So, when considering just what are the health problems causing bad breath from inside the mouth, keep in mind that many of them are related to poor oral hygiene. One of the best things you can do to keep your mouth healthy is to maintain proper oral hygiene habits. What Are the Health Problems From Other Areas? Many digestive problems are connected with bad breath. Having problems with your digestion sends acid and other elements up from the digestive tract and back through the throat, causing you bad breath. Eating foods that are hard to digest, such as red meat and dairy, can give you an unhealthy digestive system and halitosis. These foods can also allow bacteria to build up in the digestive tract; anything that gives you digestive problems such as constipation or excessive bloating and gas is likely to also give you bad breath.

    Pimples and fried food:

    For ages it has been known that pimples crop up up due to bulky intake of fried snacks and foods. Although it is a fact that fried food aggravates pimples but it is not the direct cause. Acnes and pimples appear due to bacteria and hormone disorder. For the treatment of pimples when you go to the doctors, these days they recommend a lipid profile and thyroid test  to ascertain any hormonal disorder. But keeping low profile fried items will be a welcome boost. Too much cleaning your face too frequently can in fact amplify acne as the body compensates to reinstate the body oil washed away.

    Usually people think that skipping breakfast is good and it helps to slim down.  But you are wrong, breakfast is an integral part of our food.

Doctors in UK found that two patients who suffered diarrhea, malnutrition and weight loss chewed up to 20 sticks of gum a day containing sorbitol, an artificial sweetener and mild laxative used in many sugar-free gums.Sugar-free gum The man and a woman, whose cases are reported in the British Medical Journal, underwent several tests before doctors established how much gum they consumed.The woman chewed about 14 sticks of gum a day. She had lost 1 stone 10lbs when she was admitted after suffering from diarrhea and abdominal pains for eight months.
    • The man was admitted to hospital after losing 3 stone 6lbs in a year. After medical tests failed to establish the cause of his weight loss it was discovered that he was eating around 20 sticks of gum a day and a bag of sugar-free sweets every day.

    HOUSTON: With weight loss topping the list of New Year’s resolution for most of the people this year, the nutrition experts have warned against going for a crazy fad or crash diets to achieve their goal.

    There’s no need for crazy fads or crash diets. Simple, nutritious eating is the best way to achieve a healthy resolution weight loss goal, suggest experts.

    “Women are the most likely victims of fad diets,” says nutrition expert Gloria Tsang. We’re so busy these days that even thinking about healthy eating can seem like too much, she said

    “Fad diets or starvation seem easy, but the truth is these strategies are bad for you - and they just don’t work”, said Tsang, the founder of an online nutrition community.

    She suggests that one should avoid having processed meats, skipping breakfast and refined grains like white bread and rice which have fewer nutrients.

    Instead people should have lots of colourful veggies, which are high in fibre and low in calories, and to satisfy the sweet tooth, she suggests having a snacks of fresh or dried fruits.

    She also says people should eat lots of popcorn, which contains fibre and anti-oxidants but hardly any calories. But is should be consumed without butter, she added.
