We are constantly charmed by advances in technology, science and education every day. Looking closely we see the attraction of advances and development but on the other hand we also see the world going towards a loss.

Virtues in society appear to have moved backwards with the advent of selfishness, materialism, aggression and society dividing into further groups of colour, creed, religion, cast, nation, language and so on. Further divisions can take place in cities, groups and provinces. People and society have been divided by these factors in order to give a social structure and educate and civilise people, by bringing them closer to a common cause.

Old philosophers and scholars, who talked about life and research of it, have said that humans are moving towards disadvantage and injury to mankind.

The United Nations aim to unite nations and the world peace organisation, NATO, claims to be the forerunner for peace. But more wars have been started in the name of peace by these institutions than by aggressive or dangerous people around the world. Yes they have helped to avert danger although not wholly prevented genocide and civil wars, but with agendas based around profit, oil and regional control, wars in the name of peace have been started.The world aspires to end hunger, but instead has ended

the feeling of hunger. Today’s advanced nations, if told about hunger, poverty and hunger in the world, leads the new generation to be shocked as if they have been told there is no water on the moon. Many of our youth struggle to understand the notion of hunger and the idea seems so alien to them.

How can we compare crime statistics of a developed country to an undeveloped nation? Undeveloped nations are synonymous with crime which is often a result of poverty and lack of opportunities. Statistics will always highlight a bigger crime ratio in these nations, but if we look a little closer and take out the ideas of advancements in policing, the deterrents available to prevent crime and the number of security and bodyguards, then the equation will give us a clearer picture of the crime in the western world. It’s easy for anyone to picture how the map would look then, but has humanity advanced or rather corrupted society.

ILM magazine aims to raise thoughts in society to educate, and promote health, friendship, behaviour and tolerance. We want to make a positive impact by bringing positive aspects that will help us to learn the lessons from history but to maintain the balance of respect and value of humanity. We believe that without ethics and virtues, mastery over the sciences can not only devoid its value, but hazes the insight. It has been said that, `knowledge is the thickest of veils', which prevents man from seeing reality.

The word adab is not fully translatable from Arabic to English. It encompasses all the good things a Muslim must do. Adab linguisti-cally means to invite people for food. The Ara-bic word Ma’duba is a word derived from the word Adab, and means to invite all or many people for all types of food, or a gathering around a table. Adab hence includes all that is good; every noble characteristic, habit, or trait that is included within the scope of adab.Adab is natural, it isn’t really taught, or learnt, but it is naturally developed. Children acquire adab from their parents, students from their teachers, the young from the elders. We may have much knowledge but lack adab and we may have much adab but lack knowledge; but it is adab that holds the greater value and im-portance. In today’s society, where parents, teachers, and elders are no longer given their correct honours, respect or rights; basic man-ners have made a swift exit, whilst we com-pete for glory, knowledge, or worldly gain.

‘We are more in need of acquiring adab than learning Hadith’.

This highlights that knowledge alone is insuf-ficient to build a sound and balanced Islamic personality.

‘Knowledge without Adab is like fire without wood, and Adab without knowledge is like a

spirit without a body’.

Vast amounts of knowledge and severe lack in adab, means a person is little more than a donkey laden with books. What use are the books to that donkey without being able to read? Similarly, what use is knowledge to a Muslim, without the practical mannerisms and etiquettes that really define us as Muslims?

Traditionally, adab was not taught but ac-quired and embodied between interactions between people. This has such importance that we learn by what we see, whether that is good or bad, hence it is essential and some-what detrimental that we teach only that which is good, as the bad habits are perhaps the easier to acquire.

In quantifying the best manners and style, Al-lah says of the Holy Prophet

“Truly, you have the best of manners”(Quran Al Qalam: verse 4)

Scientists can’t agree, but they have four pos-sible theories. The first says that sleep gives the body time to repair the damage from harm-ful chemicals called free radicals. The second possibility is that sleep serves as “downtime” in which to replenish the body’s energy re-serves. Another idea is that the brain is de-leting obsolete connections between neurons

(nerve cells) and reorganising the rest into their most efficient configuration – a bit like tidying up the files on a computer hard drive. The final theory is that the brain uses sleep time to assimilate information and learning from the day. At any rate, doctors agree that a typical adult needs between seven and nine hours of sleep to function at their best.

WHY DO WE SLEEP?

Most of our blood cells contain a red-coloured protein called haemoglobin. This is what binds with oxygen molecules, enabling the blood to do its job of carrying oxygen from your lungs to the rest of the body.

Why is haemoglobin itself red?

It all comes down to the chemical structure of its molecules and how they interact with light. Each colour of light can be thought of as a wave of energy vibrating at a particular speed of frequency. Specific molecules will soak up energy at some frequencies but not oth-ers: shine white light (which contains all the colours) into haemoglobin and it absorbs all the colours apart from red, which is reflected back to your eyes. Interestingly, deoxygen-ated blood returning to the lungs through your veins is a much darker red than the oxygen-ated blood that leaves via your arteries. This is because the oxygen bonds with the hae-moglobin, altering its chemical structure and making it absorb some of the red light, too.

Red blood cells come with a slight dent in the middle, which allows them to twist through capillaries, the tiniest blood vessels.

The human body has about 25 trillion red blood cells, and replaces 200 billion each day, or more than 2m a second

The average red blood lives for 120 days.A red blood cell can circumnavigate the body within 20 seconds.

Red blood cells carry oxygen around the body, and also remove carbon dioxide, transporting it to the lungs for exhalation.

Anaemia, which results in tiredness and other symptoms, is caused by low numbers of red blood cells. It can be caused by a lack of vi-tamin B12.

To maintain healthy red blood cells, eat foods rich in iron: red mead, avocados, bean and lentils.

WHY IS OUR BLOOD RED?

In a word, no. There is a physical limit to how much information we can hold in our heads, but it’s extremely large.

Scientist best estimated put it at about 2.5 petabytes – that’s a million billion bytes of in-formation. At the last count, the English ver-sion of Wikipedia consisted of just more than 4m articles. Even if each of these took up a megabyte (a million byte, which is probably as overestimate for a text file), then the on-line encyclopaedia would take up just 0.004 petabyte, or less than two thousandths of the brains capacity. Training your grey cells so you can actually access all this data is anoth-er matter entirely.

The theoretical capacity of the brain, 2.5 peta-byte, would be enough to hold 3m hours of television on a digital video recorder. You’d

have to leave the recorder running continu-ously for more than 300 years to use up all that storage.

The human brain weighs 3lb and uses less power than a single 25W light bulb.

A bigger brain doesn’t mean a better brain. In fact Einstein’s was lighter than average. Elephants have bigger brains than humans, but can’t store as much information as we can – the notion that elephants never forget is a myth. Even cows have larger brains than hu-mans, but nobody believes they’re any better than we are at remembering anniversaries.

To run a computer as powerful as the brain, some scientists estimate you’d need a giga-watt of power – enough to run 2m average British households.

IF I LEARN TOO MUCH,WILL MY BRAIN FILL UP?

2.5 petabytesYou might have only a few giga-bytes of storage space, similar to

the space in an iPod or a USB flash drive. Yet neurons combine so that

each one helps with many memories at a time, exponentially increasing the brain's memory storage capac-

ity to something closer to around 2.5 petabytes (or a million gigabytes).

Allergies include a variety of bodily reactions to our external and internal environments. There are cellular, biochemical, and tissue re-actions with histamine, lymphocytes, antibod-ies, and more. These often include reactions to agents such as:• Pollens, weeds, dust, molds and ani-mal hair (dander).• A multitude of foods, most commonly cow’s milk, wheat (gluten), eggs, yeasts, and a variety of sometimes others like peanuts and almonds, corn, soy, tomatoes, and what might bother you. There are several types of food reactions, and only one or two may be actual allergy.• Chemical agents lead to inflamma-tion and immune reactions.• Invasive microbes, such as yeasts, parasites, viruses, and bacteria and the reac-tions they cause, also setting off the immune system to fight them.Allergies trigger specific chemical responses

in the body such as the release of histamine from our cells, causing the familiar allergic re-actions–redness, swelling or discharge, itch-ing, and sometimes pain. Hay fever, asthma, and eczema are classic allergic disorders. Other manifestations of allergies involve the skin (urticarial or “hives”), the nose and sinus-es (allergic rhinitis or “hay fever”), the diges-tive tract, as well as most other systems of the body.Another process triggered by allergic reac-tions in our body causes autoimmune diseas-es, which involve the immune cells and the production of tissue-specific antibodies. As examples, these inflammatory reactions can affect the joints (rheumatoid arthritis) or the thyroid gland (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis). Aller-gies can also affect our mental and emotional states, affecting brain chemicals and causing anxiety or depression. Also, the presence of infection or inflammation may trigger the im-mune system with allergy-like reactions.

AllergiesAn Integrated Approach

Page 13: Info magazine Oct 2014

In mainstream medical treatment, allergies are diagnosed from skin prick testing and then treated with desensitization injections and avoidance of the reactive agents. Blood tests can also show increased antibodies to specific agents. Often, this treatment is used along with drug therapy to control the immedi-ate symptoms. The drugs have been primarily antihistamines that block the histamine effect, like Benadryl (sedating), Claritin and Zyrtec (these two less sedating); but nowadays the stronger corticosteroid drugs are employed earlier to suppress the immune/allergic re-sponses in the body. Decongestant drugs may also be used.In many situations, being allergic is a state of reactivity that is also the body’s response to its constant high level of congestion or imbalance. From a natural medicine point of view, most allergic symptoms are seen as the body’s attempt to cleanse itself and detoxifyClearly, allergies can result from a number of causes. Many people develop allergic re-actions in response to stressful times in their life–as they age, when they move to a new area, after experiencing certain illnesses, or following exposure to certain chemicals. In terms of the health of our digestion, there are many factors that may contribute to our allergic state: our overall diet; the overuse of certain foods; the general health of the intes-tinal tract, or the presence of parasites or the overgrowth of yeast, specifically Candida al-bicans.

Getting kids off cow’s milk products is often the first step in reducing allergies and congestion, particularly in the nose, sinuses, and ears. Avoiding refined foods, sugars, and chemical additives, particularly food colorings, may also help. Adding a children’s multivitamin/mineral

and extra vitamin C, about 250–500 mg 3–4 times daily may also reduce the allergies.For adults, higher amounts of vitamin C (1000– 1500 mg 3–4 times daily) during an infection or hay fever season along with about 250–300 mg of Quercitin 2–3 times a day as a special bioflavonoid shown to have an anti-histamine effect in the body. Another option is to use a vitamin C supplement that contains a mixed bioflavonoid along with a separate quercitin (150 to 250 mg), both taken several times daily. I have often seen this program im-prove allergic symptoms and reduce the need for medications.For people who are concerned about food reactions, some helpful eating guidelines are the following:• Eat whole, unprocessed foods• Diversify your diet• Rotate foods and don’t eat any one food every day• Eat only non-allergenic foods at firstA non-allergenic, or allergy elimination diet could include the following foods:• All fruits, except citrus• All vegetables, except corn and to-matoes• Brown or white rice• Turkey (ideally organic, free-range)• White fish—e.g. halibut, sole, sword-fish (mercury concern)• Almonds or walnuts, and sunflower or pumpkin seedsOther natural therapies are also helpful. The use of acupuncture and herbs can be effec-tive; homeopathic remedies can also help minimize or clear allergies. I cannot suggest specific remedies, however, because the rem-edies are based on the specific symptoms of an individual at a given moment in time.

ILM City Atchison Elementary Public School Rajoya Sadaat is a school which was established in 1994 as private school for local children of Rajoya Sadaat, its a small village in District Chiniot with a population of 35,000, mostly of a poor background. Villagers are unable to send their children to Eng-lish medium schools as the fee’s are too high.Unfortunately in today’s world, education has become a business, almost commercialised. Instead it should be geared towards human development. When confronted with the injustices and inequali-ties in the world, we now realise opportunity to any child can give a platform for a great future. Bringing any child to the fore front of thinking makes us feel positive. There-fore we at ILM feel any institution or education system, whether small or large always contributes to the wider picture.

We are all fortunate to have been educated but it’s also important to make education accessible to those less fortunate by giving them the necessary opportunity and sup-port. Every child contributes to the prosperity of a nation.

The gap between those who could afford it and those who could not always remained. When Pakistan was struck by the devastating floods every Pakistani outside of Pakistan felt compelled to help in any way they could, and my family decided to make the school free education for all children and release the par-

ents from the burden of paying the fees. Since 2010 the schools status was change to chari-ty school where all students are now receiving free education, this has giving opportunity to all the less fortunate children who were unable to afford the school fees, can now study for FREE.

ILM City Atchison Elementary Public School Rajoya (Sheffield) has been supported by Syed Fayyaz Hussain, the Chief Editor of ILM News. ILM News is South Yorkshire’s first bi-lingual newspaper which is published in English and URDU, the newspaper is published from Sheffield

and is distributed in 8 cities.ILM has supported the school financially for several years now and we would invite others to support this ongoing worthy project.

This creates speeds of over 270 mph, reaching 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds. The Agera S is available as left or right hand drive with prices starting at around £914,000.

2. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse Bugatti’s newest model claims to be the ‘fastest production roadster in the world.’ The Veyron reaches 0-62 mph in less than 2.7 seconds, with a top speed of 256 mph. This is thanks to the huge W16, 8 litre, 4 turbocharged engine producing 1200 bhp. The stylish exterior features carbon fibre body panels. Just 50 cars are available this year, out of a planned production total of 450. Prices start at £1.5 million.

So which takes your fancy? Or do you just find supercars overpriced? Whatever you feel, it is clear that with their carefully constructed

design and their immensely immodest price tag, these cars are intended to be admired by all – even if they are driven by few!

1. Lamborghini Veneno Roadster Lamborghini have released the Veneno roadster as the fi-nale of their 50th anniversary celebrations. Its 6.5 litre, V12 engine is capable of speeds in excess of 200 mph, reach-ing 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds. The body and frame presents a blend of carbon fibre and alu-minium trim while the interior is made up of a carbon skin trim. Lamborghini has only released 9 models of the car for sale this year which is probably suffi-cient, as at a cool £2.7 million, it is the most expensive car of 2014.

If you want to know when it's going to rain, ask an elephant. Apparently, they just know. That's according to new research suggest-ing the lumbering giants can sense when a storm is coming, even if the ominous clouds are gathering a long way off.

A team from Texas A&M, the University of Vir-ginia, the University of New South Wales, and the University of Utah wanted to learn more about the sudden movements of elephant herds during seasonal shifts, suspecting that migrations near the end of dry seasons were somehow related to faraway thunderstorms the creatures could perhaps detect.

Using GPS trackers, the researchers ana-lyzed the movements of 14 elephants in Af-rica's Namibia region over 7 years, matching weather data with herd movements. When all of the data was crunched, they found some-thing striking: The elephants seemed to be able to "sense" storms happening up to 150

miles away, and that was the direction in which they pointed their trunks for migration."We don’t know if they can actually hear the thunder or if they are detecting other low-fre-quency sounds generated by the storms that humans can’t hear. But there is no doubt they know what direction the rain is," said Oliver Frauenfeld, assistant professor in the geogra-phy department at Texas A&M, in a statement.The Namibia region has a short, distinct rainy season, lasting only a few weeks. Luckily, it seems, for the elephants, they are able to get some inside information on where all of that cool, life-sustaining water will be.

While the researchers aren't yet certain what specifically sets off the elephants' keen weath-er-sense, one side benefit is clear: If wildlife officials tasked with protecting elephants from poachers can use weather data to make pre-dictions about where elephants will go, they have a better chance of protecting the herds.

Kashmir

The origins of the dispute

The conflict in Kashmir dates to the partition of India in 1947. The State of Jammu & Kash-mir was at this time majority Muslim but with a Hindu ruler, and it was unclear whether it would accede to Pakistan or India. Its eventual accession to India became a matter of dispute between the two countries, with both India and Pakistan claiming ownership of Kashmir. After a brief war in 1947-48, Kashmir was divided between Pakistan and India administered ter-ritories. A ceasefire line was agreed under UN supervision, which has since been renamed the ‘Line of Control’. Around one third of the territory has since been administered by Pa-kistan, with the remainder administered by India, including Kashmir Valley, which has a strong Muslim majority.In August 1947 when the Indian subcontinent became independent from Britain, all the rul-ers of the 565 princely states, whose lands comprised two-fifths of India and a population 99 million, had to decide which of the two new dominions to join, India or Pakistan.The ruler of Jammu and Kashmir, whose state was situated between the two new countries, could not decide which country to join. He was Hindu, his population was predominantly Muslim. He therefore did nothing. Instead he

signed a "standstill" agreement with Pakistan in order that services such as trade, travel and communication would be uninterrupted. India did not sign a similar agreement. In October 1947, Pashtun tribesmen from Pa-kistan's North-West Frontier Province invaded Kashmir. There had been persistent reports of communal violence against Muslims in the state and, supported by the Pakistani Govern-ment, they were eager to precipitate its acces-sion to Pakistan.

Troubled by the increasing deterioration in law and order and by earlier raids, culminating in the invasion of the tribesmen, the ruler, Maha-raja Hari Singh, requested armed assistance from India.The then Governor-General, Lord Mountbat-ten, believed the developing situation would be less explosive if the state were to accede to India, on the understanding that this would only be temporary prior to "a referendum, plebiscite, election".According to the terms of the Instrument of Accession, India's jurisdiction was to extend to external affairs, defence and communica-tions. Exactly when Hari Singh signed the Instru-

Page 23: Info magazine Oct 2014

ment of Accession has been hotly debated for over 50 years.

Official Indian accounts state that in the ear-ly hours of the morning of 26 October, Hari Singh fled from Srinagar, arriving in Jammu later in the day, where he was met by V P Menon, representative of Prime Minister Ja-waharlal Nehru, and signed the Instrument of Accession.On the morning of 27 October, Indian troops were airlifted into Srinagar. Recent research, from British sources, has in-dicated that Hari Singh did not reach Jammu until the evening of 26 October and that, due to poor flying conditions, V P Menon was un-able to get to Jammu until the morning of 27 October , by which time Indian troops were already arriving in Srinagar. In order to support the thesis that the Maha-raja acceded before Indian troops landed, In-dian sources have now suggested that Hari Singh signed an Instrument of Accession be-fore he left Srinagar but that it was not made public until later.This was because Hari Singh had not yet agreed to include the Kashmiri leader, Sheikh Abdullah, in his future government. To date no authentic original document has been made available. Pakistan immediately contested the acces-sion, suggesting that it was fraudulent, that the Maharaja acted under duress and that he had no right to sign an agreement with India when the standstill agreement with Pakistan was still in force.Pakistanis also argued that because Hari Singh fled from the valley of Kashmir , he was not in control of his state and therefore not in a position to take a decision on behalf of his people.

In the context of Pakistan's claim that there is a dispute over the state of Jammu and Kash-mir, the accession issue forms a significant aspect of their argument. By stating that the Instrument of Accession was signed on 26 October, when it clearly was not, Pakistan believes that India has not shown good faith and consequently that this invalidates the Instrument of Accession. Indians argue, however, that regardless of the discrepancies over timing, the Maharaja did choose to accede to India and he was not un-der duress. On the basis of his accession, India claims ownership of the entire state which includes the approximately one-third of the territory currently administered by Pakistan. In 1949 Maharaja Hari Singh was obliged by the Government of India to leave the state and hand over the government to Sheikh Ab-dullah. He died in Bombay in 1962. Further wars have broken out between India and Pakistan in Kashmir in 1965 and 1999, whilst there is also a Kashmir separatist movement. To further complicate matters in the region, the border with China is also dis-puted. India does not recognise the border es-tablished after war between India and China in 1962. China has traditionally diplomatically favoured Pakistan though relations with India have improved in recent years.Given the apparently irreconcilable territo-rial claims in Kashmir, there is no immediate end in sight to this conflict. Now that both India and Pakistan are in possession of nu-clear weapons, the stakes in this conflict are of global significance. In this difficult context, local peacebuilders work to diffuse tensions. This work is vital when the potential for local violence to spark larger conflicts carries such huge dangers.

The tallest man in medical history for whom there is irrefutable evidence is Robert Pershing Wadlow, born in Illinois in 1918, who when last measured in 1940 was found to be 2.72 m (8 ft 11.1 in) tall. He wore size 39 shoes. Source: guinnessworldrecords.com

Scientists unravel the genetics of human height.It’s no secret that if your dad is tall and your mother is tall, you are probably going to be tall. But fully understanding the genetics of height has been a big order for scientists. Research-ers unveil what they called the biggest such study to date, analyzing genome data from more than a quarter million people to identify nearly 700 genetic variants and more than 400 genome regions relating to height. How tall or short a person becomes is estimated to be 80 percent genetic, with nutrition and other environmental factors accounting for the rest.In addition, short stature in childhood is a

major clinical issue for pediatric endocrinolo-gists. Knowing genes and their variants that are important for height eventually may help doctors diagnose children who have a single major underlying cause for short stature. The world’s people on average have become taller over the past few generations because of fac-tors including improved nutrition.

Most of the earth's surface consists of water; there is much more water than there is land.

There is the same amount of water on earth as there was when the earth was formed. The overall amount of water on our planet has re-mained the same for two billion years.

In a 100-year period, a water molecule spends 98 years in the ocean, 20 months as ice, about 2 weeks in lakes and rivers, and less than a week in the atmosphere.

Groundwater can take a human lifetime just to traverse a mile.

Most of the earth's surface water is perma-nently frozen or salty.

Frozen water is 9% lighter than water, which is why ice floats on water.

A litre of water weighs 1.01 kilograms.

It doesn't take much salt to make water "salty." If one-thousandth (or more) of the weight of water is from salt, then the water is "saline."

When water contains a lot of calcium and magnesium, it is called hard water. Hard water is not suited for all purposes water is normally used for.

Four hundred gallons of water are recycled through our kidneys each day.

Nature's Energy Booster

The benefits of honey go beyond its great taste. A great natural source of carbohydrates which pro-vide strength and energy to our bodies, honey is known for its effectiveness in instantly boosting the performance, endurance and reduce muscle fatigue of athletes. Its natural sugars play an im-portant role in preventing fatigue during exercise. The glucose in honey is absorbed by the body quickly and gives an immediate energy boost, while the fructose is absorbed more slowly pro-viding sustained energy. It is known that honey has also been found to keep levels of blood sugar

fairly constant compared to other types of sugar. So, to experience these health benefits of honey, here are a few tips for you:

1. Next time before you go for a workout, take a spoon of honey to enable you to go for the extra mile.

2. If you are feeling low and lethargic in the morn-ing, instead of reaching out for a can of carbon-ated energy drink , try honey. Spread it on hot toast or replace the sugar in your tea with it for a refreshing surge of energy.

3. If your kids are finding hard to cope with the physical strain from the buzzing activities at school, prepare them some sandwiches with honey, butter and ham to make sure they have enough energy to sustain through the day. My kids are delighted when they see me prepare warm honey water in their bottles. They couldn't care a bit about the health benefits of honey, but simply love the taste of it!

Honey Remedy for Ailments

FOR CUTS AND BURNS:

For thousands of years, honey has been recog-nized as one of the most natural home remedies to treat a wide range of ailments and complaints including yeast infection, athlete foot, and ar-thritis pain. Its antiseptic properties inhibits the

growth of certain bacteria and helps keep external wounds clean and free from infection. Honey has been used as anatural cure in first aid treatment for wounds, burns and cuts as it is able to absorb moisture from the air and promote healing. Its antibacterial properties prevent infection and functions as an anti-inflammatory agent, reduc-ing both swelling and pain, and even scarring. It is widely believed that UMF Manuka is the preferred honey for wound dressing due to its strong anti-bacterial property.

FOR SORE THROATS:

One of the better known health benefits of honey is that it is able to help treat sore throats. Thanks to its antimicrobial properties, honey not only soothes throats but can also kill certain bacteria that causes the infection. Professional singers commonly use honey to soothe their throats be-fore performances. The Chinese believe that ex-cess "heatiness" in the body causes sore throat and taking honey drink can be helpful. Direction: Take a spoonful of honey to soothe the inflamma-tion or gargle with a mixture of two tablespoons of honey, four tablespoons of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Personally, whenever I have a sore throat or cough, I especially like to take warm wa-ter mixed with Manuka UMF honeywhich is well-known for its anti-bacterial healing properties.

For SLEEPLESSNESS:

Unable to sleep? Use the famous Milk and Honey Remedy. Take a glass of hot milk with a teaspoon of honey to calm the soul and induce sleep. Or, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of honey to a cup of chamo-mile tea and sip.

According to psychology experts, frequent mild memory lapses are not unusual for women in their early or mid-thirties. As one gets closer to 30, one’s body starts making fewer chemicals for the brain which in turn needs more chemicals for it to work at its normal rate.

In addition to this, stress levels for mums and lack of sleep can take their toll on one’s memory. Re-cent research has uncovered a few ways to boost and enhance brain function.

1. Care For Your Brain By Feeding Your Brain

The brain is the process centre of our bodies. Be it eating, drinking, reading, memorising, or just chatting, we use the brain all the time and, each time it is used, it gets exhausted. So it needs to be fuelled by eating on time and in moderation. Foods such as honey, almonds, walnuts, beans, avocados, berries, apples, and whole grains have been proven to be powerful brain boosters. Spices and herbs like cinnamon and oregano also sharp-en the mind, according to research.

2. Study A New Language

With our world turning into a mega-city of hun-dreds of languages, now might be the best time for you to learn about a new culture through the

taste of a new language. Scientists have explained that when learning a new language, extra effort is expended and it takes a while to get the gist of the new language. However, the good thing is that your efforts are not being wasted because as your brain is getting an adequate blood supply as it is at work and not just lazing around. So, keep your brain at work by doing something productive like learning a new language.

3. Engage In Other Productive Activities

There are numerous things to do for yourself and for others. Reading good, beneficial books, gar-dening, taking craft classes such as beading and sewing, visiting the sick at the hospital, engaging

Ladies -6 Ways To

Improve Your Memory

yourself in community service, learning how to cook an entirely different ethnic food from yours are a few ways of stimulating your brain to work diligently. At least pick up a good book or maga-zine, and read. Reading is an essential part of the way of life. If we misuse this gift of reading, we will lose it entirely. So, read on!

4. Women And Multitasking

It is not untrue to say women are excellent multi-taskers in this day and age. From taking care of our families, friends, and even extended families, to study and work, we get stressed out, to the extent

that we have no time to take care of ourselves. And in the middle of this stress, we still cook, help with our kids’ school work, and run numer-ous errands. At the end of each day, most women are exhausted and the brain is simply sapped. As women, we should remember that no matter how challenging our roles at home, in the community, and in the world, our bodies still have rights over us and we shall be questioned by God regarding how we dealt with them. So, take a deep breath when your stress levels are increasing and remind yourself that God will not overburden you with more than you can bear.

5. Exercise!

Women-only exercise studios and gymnasiums are burgeoning, and this is indeed a good sign because we cherish our privacy. However, going

to such fitness places might not be practical for every woman. An infant at home, time factors, and membership fees are valid excuses for some women to prefer exercises done within the com-fort of their own homes. Go for it if this works for you because exercise at home is much better than not doing any form of exercise at all. According to kinesiologists, exercise increases blood flow, thus getting crucial nutrients and oxygen to brain cells. Numerous studies from scientists have shown that exercise improves memory and helps grow new brain cells. Exercise is great because it does not just prevent your memory from lapsing. It ac-tually improves it.

6. Iron Each Day Keeps The Doctor Away

Globally, women are iron-deficient, even in in-dustrialised countries. Though many are not con-

sidered to have chronic iron deficiency, iron is a mineral that gets lost from the body because a lot of blood is lost during menstruation. With a loss of blood comes anaemia and lethargy. This might lead to forgetfulness, according to some scien-tists. Eating plenty of iron-rich foods is often ad-vertised in health centres and in the media. Such foods include dried fruits like dates and apricots, red meat, dark leafy greens, iron-enriched cere-als, and beans. A visit to the doctor’s office can result in an immediate, positive change in your overall health if you are feeling drowsy and tired all the time. Depending on what your doctor says, you might be advised to start adding iron supple-ments to your diet. It is upon us to take advantage of the health resources available around us and, as they say, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island.The two survivors who have been a good friends, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man’s parcel of land remained barren.After a week, the first man was lonely and he de-cided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning,

he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island.He considered the other man unworthy to receive God’s blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, “Why are you leav-ing your companion on the island?”“My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything.”“You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.”“Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “What did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”“He prayed that all your prayers be answered “Moral: For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. Value your friends; don’t leave your loved ones behind.
