1.Originally from Guatemala and Mexico, Chia seeds also called Salba seeds are grown from a flowering plant. Its known widely for its medicinal benefits. These seeds are rich sources of antioxidants and polyphenols like quercetin, chlorogenic, kaempferol and caffeic acid. They are plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, mostly alpha-linoleic acid (ALA) and nutrients rich in calcium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus that support the immune system.

3.Though it is a rich source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, but eating only chia seeds may not be enough. Other sources of Omega-3 fatty acids like flax seeds, hemp seeds, walnuts etc need to be taken to complete the body’s requirement to prevent developing chronic diseases. Research has shown that having regular Omega-3 fatty acids can maintain heart health, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of inflammation like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and eczema.

So, having 1-2 teaspoonfuls is recommended normally rather than having a big quantity to prevent complications.


7.Chia seeds are tiny seeds which break easily. Many people use them in either whole form or in powdered form. Sprinkling a teaspoon full of chia seeds in your breakfast bowl of oatmeal, smoothies, and soups are common. Soaking them overnight and using them as chia sprouts is very beneficial. Chia pudding is commonly used as well by mixing them with milk or juice. Ideally, chia seeds are soaked in liquid or sprinkled over meal so that the seeds expand before eating is useful rather than having them directly.

10 facts to know why Nature Bath is essential and worth knowing 🙌

by drjurisharma, posted in body, health, lifestyle, dietary, exercise, herbs, water, liver, stroke, cancer, hepatitis, brain, garden, park, trees, healing, health, life, mental health, nature, physical therapy, pain, body aches, spinal,, spiritual, travel, Uncategorized, wellness

1. Shinrin Yoku is a Japanese idea which means relaxing in nature or forest. So, the concept of Nature bath originated from this idea. The concept simply means spending time in nature or strolling and breathing the clean air in the woods. It’s not about running, jogging or hiking in the woods to lose weight or increase the heart rate. It is a calming stroll or a simple walk in nature, being aware of the surroundings by the five senses. It has been approved by many studies to have tremendous benefits for mental and brain health as well as positive impact on the immune system.

2. For centuries, people were roaming around in forests, and woods for food, livestock, hunting and other purposes. So, this was not a new thing in the human race. But, in today’s time of urbanization stressful life, competition, and spending hours on social media, people hardly have time for a simple walk in the forest or a park nearby. Recent studies by different researchers like Japanese Medical doctor Qing Li have urged the significance and enormous health benefits gained by this simple outdoor activity. Li pointed out that a simple touch, look, listening and smell in the woods can greatly impact the overall wellbeing.


3.Studies show that trees release phytoncides, a chemical which they liberate to protect them in nature from insects, has several health benefits. While strolling in the woods, when we inhale this compound, our body releases more natural killer cells, a type of white blood cells which help in fighting viral bourne diseases and even cancers. It has also anti-bacterial and anti-fungal qualities and supports the immune system.


4.Several studies have shown that strolling among trees helps to breathe an extra supply of oxygen and take away the daily stress stimuli by lowering the cortisol level. It also means the sympathetic nervous system can be slowly taken over by the parasympathetic nervous system and concentrate on relaxation and healing. The blood pressure, blood sugar and heart rate, all of them, coming back to the normal level.

5. As already mentioned, phytoncides released by plants and trees have a regulatory effect on the human moods too. Studies shows that some types of phytoncides like anti depressant beta-pinene has direct effect on mood and help in reducing anxiety, anger and depression. It has anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Phytoncides helps the mind with clarity, focus and calming effect which makes it better eqipped to handle stress.


6.Other phytoncides named alpha-pinene released from trees and plants have many health benefits. Due to its calming, sedative properties, it has a direct effect on sleep and overall mental health. It improves sleep, releases stress, and reduces body pain, apart from anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties which strengthen immunity.


7.According to Dr Qing Li’s book “Forest Bathing”, the healing power lies in connecting the five senses to nature. It is simply a slow walk in nature, leaving behind your phone and other gadgets, and being mindful of the surrounding. Breathing fresh air with an extra supply of oxygen, listening to the chirping of birds, the breeze, the touch of leaves, soil, the smell of the woods, and lying on the ground, all of these simple activities are stress busters.These activities releases the happy hormones and lowers cortisol. The natural inhaling of phytoncides are immunity boosters and powerful healers. A small amount of time spent can have a great impact on health and well-being.

8.You don’t need a forest or woods. Wherever there are trees, anywhere, everywhere, maybe in hot, cold or snowy weather, or maybe in a park or garden, you can do forest bathing.
In case, it is not possible, make some time to spend on your balcony among the planted pots.
In some way or another, nature does have a beneficial impact on health as a stress buster. Other therapeutic activities which can be done in an open environment with trees are meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, painting, pottery and so on.

9.Forest bathing is very helpful in the recovery phase of people affected with various illnesses including cancers. Trees releasing phytoncides aid in immune cell response and help in increasing the responses of anti-cancer proteins like granulysin, perforin and granzymes. It helps in increasing the count of naturally killer cells which helps to fight the tumour cells.
Since it lowers the cortisol, it slows down the heart rate and lowers the blood pressure. It elevates the mood and has a calming effect on mental health.

10.In an urban scenario, people might think that forest bathing is just not possible in a busy life. But,taking a little time off from noisy, stressful environment, without the cellphone and other gadgets for a short stroll in a nearby park or garden can definitely reduce the stress level and have a calming effect on the mood. Any such opportunity in your busy routine life can make a big difference on the health and wellbeing.

10 facts to know about Matcha 🍵

by drjurisharma, posted in brain, cognitive health, emotional health, Food, life, nature, physical therapy, pain, body aches, spinal,, spiritual, Uncategorized

Hello everyone! Have a wonderful day ✋

1. Matcha is powdered from processed green tea leaves which originated in East Asia, now widely produced in Japan. Back in the 16th century, the method of preparing matcha tea and serving became a ritual among Zen Buddhists. From then onwards, the Japanese Tea Ceremony has become widely popular, not only in Buddhist monasteries but also among the common people.

  1. The scientific name of the plant Camellia Sinensis from which matcha is derived, is a shade- grown green tea plant usually covered from direct sunlight to ensure slow growth. The slow growth results in a darker shade of green, which is a high level of chlorophyll. This type of harvest technique causes more production of amino acids threonine and caffeine.
  2. Matcha is highly rich in antioxidants due to its high amino acid content. So, regular intake can prevent free radical damage in the body and can prevent the occurrence of chronic diseases. The tea flavonoids have anti-inflammatory properties too.
  3. Studies have shown that since matcha contains high levels of caffeine and L-threonine, it is highly beneficial for brain functions. Regular consumption can improve the memory, alertness and focus of the mind.

5.Some research studies have shown that regular intake of matcha helps in the prevention of cancer. But, further studies are still required to have concrete proof. As matcha is rich in catechin, more precisely Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), is found to have high anti-cancer properties. It also improves the efficacy of certain chemotherapeutic drugs.

6.Matcha tea has great skin health benefits. Regular intake or adding topically as a skin care mask can give healthy glowing skin. It can also be used for its therapeutic benefits for skin conditions like psoriasis, keratosis, rosacea and wound healing.

7.Matcha is good for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Studies have indicated that the presence of EGCG, which is rich in catechin has many therapeutic properties such as anti- atherosclerotic, anti-myocardial infarction, anti-cardiac hypertrophy, anti-inflammatory and also anti-diabetic. It aids in weight loss too.

8.Matcha tea which is organically grown is safest. Sometimes, inferior or poor-quality matcha tea may contain excess of pesticides and lead which may cause harmful effects on the body. So, the reputed quality of matcha tea is only recommended.

9.According to the US Food Drug Administration, a daily intake of not more than 400mg is recommended. Excess intake may lead to caffeine overdose which causes side effects like anxiety, fast heart rate, insomnia, headache and nausea.

10.Matcha tea is usually taken as a warm beverage. But, because of its immense popularity, matcha is served as a Latte, in ice-cream, cocktails, sodas, cookies, pancakes and so on.

10 facts about Sixth Sense : Is it real ?

by drjurisharma, posted in brain, cognitive health, emotional health, extra sensory perception, eyes, life, nature, sixth sense, spiritual, telepathy, Uncategorized
  1. In a normal individual, perception occurs through the five physical senses. Extrasensory perception (ESP) or sixth sense is a perception of the mind, perceived an event, circumstances, or prediction, through telepathy, clairvoyance or precognition. This is independent of the normal five sensory senses so it is regarded a paranormal ability. Through the centuries, from primeval times, many people, including sages, yogis and spiritual practitioners are believed to have mystical powers who have strong sixth sense.
  2. But then, is this real science? As far as science is concerned, there is no evidence of such extra senses in human. Many research projects in the past have been carried out to study if some people actually possess such extra sensory power. Some psychologists and philosophise are still undergoing studies to know more about this concept of extrasensory phenomena.

3. Several researches and authors like Rosalind Heywood, H. Osmond and many more have written several books on this subject with their own understanding of the perception. It is very hard to find scientific validity and physical explanation of such phenomena of extra sensory perception such as telepathy or clairvoyance or even precognition.

4. Sometimes intuition and extra sensory perceptions (ESP) or sixth sense are referred the same meaning. It is the psychological ability to sense something independently of sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste. Maybe, it is the ability of the individual based on deep understanding of the situation, the knowledge stored in the subconscious mind and the past experience.

5. Contrastive of today’s world, the primitive men were more instinctive and tuned with nature. Their level of awareness were as par with other living creatures and animals. It is this intuitive power which is slowly fading away from us. Because, our minds are caught up in this materialistic complexity.

Keeping science aside, most of us, do at sometime or someplace, get an inner sense of knowing of some event or information even before the actual occurrence. This is perhaps the kind of intuitive feeling that we still possess.

6. Different types of ESP experiences have been studied like telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, out of the body experiences and hauntings. Parapsychologists have been studying these psychic abilities through different experimental research.


7. The exact definition of each of the term may differ according to the understanding and apprehensions of individual.

Telepathy is sending information through one’s mind to another person.

Clairvoyance is an awareness without the physical presence of what’s going on somewhere.

Precognition is like predicting or foreseeing of a future information.

Out of body experience is traveling of the mind to a greater distance without actual movement of the physical self.

8. Though the presence of sixth sense in human has no scientific validation but other living beings like animals, fishes, birds, creatures like sharks, whales, or tiny ants do have sixth sense. Some animals like elephants or even dogs do get a sense in advance before a natural calamity.


9.Perhaps, unlike our ancestors , today human civilisation is more about technological advancement, modernization, stressful lifestyle, that we have moved very far from nature or simple natural occurrences. We hardly have time to observe in nature or the environment around us. Therefore, extrasensory perceptions or inner intuitive power are all vanishing from us slowly.

10. Sixth sense is a real ability or not, is yet to be proved in the scientific world. But as an individual, we all have been gifted with some natural abilities. It’s upto us to be more aware as individual and restore the very essence of being a human being. It’s time for us to let go once a while from this routine hustle bustle and be more calm, meditative to understand our inner self.

Trapped emotions: Time to let go! 🙌

by drjurisharma, posted in brain, cognitive health, emotional health, healing, health, life, mental health, Science, skin, goosebumps, fear, excitement, nervousness, spiritual, wellness

Hello everyone ! Have a wonderful and safe day 🙋🏻

As a human being…

Everybody in this world has a deep longing for love and affection. From the new born to the older adult, everybody yearns the sense of belonging, love and compassion. Social acceptance, being valued, and recognition is longed for by one and all in the human community. Infact, we all deserve our inherent birthright of being loved, happiness, vitality, freedom, fearless and growth. So, then, from where does the negativity arise? A child being born is always happy and cheerful. It is the environment, caregivers, parents, teachers, elders, peers, and the competetive nature of this material world that pushes the child towards negativity, egoistic, pain, fear and unhappiness. These growing years, his interaction with the people around him, the environment that slowly programmed his subconscious mind with doubts, anxiety, worries, sadness, lacks and unhappiness. So, like you and me, every individual has grown up with our share of fear, limitations, and inadequacy.

Trapped emotions impact on physical health…
Within this paradigm of limitation and inadequacy in our subconscious mind, we move forward with the life journey. We are then, bombarded with challenges of day-to-day stress, relationship stress, work pressure, financial strain, and other constraints that affect our emotional health even more. Maybe, bad experiences, conflict with parents, loss of a closed one, heartbreak, deep trauma due to a failure, a toxic boss, rejection, and anger can all be overwhelming and add to our emotional baggage. We may think that emotions come and go. We can get over it, quickly or healed after some time. But, the truth is, certain emotions are’nt so superficial. Infact, it has a lasting impact on both our physical and mental health. Studies have shown that certain intense emotions get trapped in particular organs of our body. Like, anger gets trapped in the liver, while hurt, fear get trapped in the heart and so on. Ancient Ayurvedic science which is 5000 years old has rightly pointed out that too much of trapped emotions like anger, worry, chronic stress can create too much heat (Pitta) in the body which may affect the hameostasis and start creating physical illness. So, the emotional component is critical in the overall wellbeing. In reality, it is the emotional health and wellbeing that transcend physical health. Hence, the term disease means (dis-ease, absence of ease).

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2017; 2017: 7618419.

Published online 2017 Aug 22. doi: 10.1155/2017/7618419

Emotional health is crucial…

Fundamentally, our mind and body are designed to be in a state of growth, restore, repair and relax. Yes, in times of potential threat and danger, the body reacts to the survival mode of fight and flight response. But, then as evolutionary, the body naturally comes back to its state of homeostasis when the threat is gone. The parasympathetic mode’s natural restoration mechanism is greatly affected by the daily’s state of chronic stress, being on the run, and always being overwhelmed. Moreover, this everyday struggle within our emotional health of mental barriers, mindset, limitations, fears, and worries added to day-to-day stress. So, leading a healthy lifestyle and caring about physical fitness has not stopped people from falling sick. People follow the best possible diet, take their best supplements, and follow an exercise routine, yet they fall into various illnesses like chronic diseases, mental issues and autoimmune diseases. Now, it has become very crucial to consider emotional health, a priority before everthing else. Maybe, this is the most critical component in our path of mental, physical, spiritual wellbeing and being a successful person we all longed to be.

It is vital to slow down...
It is essential to annalyse our emotional and mental state daily, introspect at times, and slow down to understand what affects us the most. It is crucial to change the way we think, elevate our vibration, be in the positive mind space and overcome the mental barrier if we want to take charge of our mental and physical heath and wellbeing. As, for all of us, it is much easier said than done. But, indeed, we have to put some efforts on our own to make our life the way we want it to be. To take control of our physical and mental wellbeing and be in a happy, comfortable space that we all longed for.

Some ways that we can work towards for self-improvement:
1. Self-acceptance: Being aware and acceptance is an essential and fundamental change. Any circumstances, any issue or conflict that we are facing, in terms of physical or mental health, needs self-acceptance. Self-resisting, self-denial, result in more stress, conflict, and high cortisol release, which makes us unfavourable to heal or change. So, self-acceptance and being self-aware is an essential step towards change. It is necessary to accept, share with a closed one or a therapist and let go the emotional baggage. Sharing with somebody or writing down the emotions and thoughts helps us acknowledge them better and give ourselves time and space to change. Meditation and mindfullness practices also helps us in emotional growth.


2. Victimhood: Instead of living in victimhood mentality, or self-blaming, starting to explore ways and methods to be part of the healing process. Suppose, somebody is being affected by a physical or mental issue must be an integral part of the healing process. Taking responsibility and works towards healing instead of surrendering yourself fully in caregivers’ hands. It is crucial to actively partcipate in the healing process.


3. Self-compassion and patience: It is vital to approach onself with self-compassion. Being compassionate towards self, putting oneself in the right frame of mind dramatically counts. Because failing or falling is the very essence of human nature. Having faith in the Higher Power and a lot of patience is beneficial in the healing process. Because, like good times, adverse times, doesn’t last long too.

Negative emotions: 6 ways to deal with…😇

by drjurisharma, posted in Anger, frustration, pain, jealousy, hatred, fear, greed, lust,, cognitive health, Ego, egoism, pride, self, self identity, self awareness, emotional health, fear, pain, emotions, healing, health, life, Science, self healing, spiritual, wellness

Hello everyone ! Have a wonderful and safe day 🙋🏻

img_0843

Scientists are yet to give a proper standard definition of emotion. Enough researches are done in the past and are still going on. Yet, it is quite challenging to define this experience of mind called ’emotion’. Emotion is usually a state of mind which is neurophysiological. It can be linked to the person’s personality, thought process, feeling, mood or temperament. It’s a mental state where he/she may experience either pleasure or displeasure. So, every day and every moment, a person’s emotional state may vary.

img_0844

Researches have revealed that the left side of the brain is a logical and more analytical half while the right side is imaginative, creative and emotional. There is a total of at least 27 emotions which appear in the human mind. Everday, both positive and negative emotions surface in the human mind throughout the day. As the flickering mind keep reacting and responding to the different internal and external experiences, so does the emotion keep changing. I think emotion/feelings have a lot to do with our subconscious mind. The subconscious mind, with its conditioning and tendencies, ingrained through our life journey. Therefore, depending on these tendencies, the emotional state may vary from individual to individual for the same human experience.

Having an emotion, pleasant or unpleasant, we blame it to the external environment. But we fail to acknowledge that our internal environment has a greater role to play than any external environment when it comes to our emotions. Here, I would like to emphasize more on the negative emotions that are generated in our mind daily because they have a toxic effect both on our physical and mental health. We can at least try developing a habit and make behavioural changes to reduce or try getting rid of them as much as practically possible for the sake of our wellbeing.

img_0849

The sources of negative emotions evolve through a toxic and adverse thought process like anger, pride, ego, greed, jealousy, hatred, lust, infatuation and so on. So, how do we stop ourselves or at least try getting rid of them daily? It is an ever-evolving process and learning experience that grows with time.

Six ways, we can try getting rid of them are :

img_0846
1. Replacement techniques: Every time an unpleasant experience happens, the negative emotion of anger, pain, hurt, resentment appears. Further, the mental pattern of overthinking and ruminating makes it worst to bear. Being aware of our state of mind is an important step to initiate. And the slowly deliberate attempt of replacing the negative thinking pattern with a positive and a more constructive thought process. It is something that isn’t easy at all. But, it isn’t impossible either. It’s a habit that has to be grown and nurtured through time. Therefore, replacement with a better pattern is an efficient method.
2. Bring in the opposite action: Intentionally doing an act of service or showing good conduct even in a bitter experience. It can lead to a change in our mental state to a more positive environment and reduce the negativity. No matter what the other person’s reaction, you remain in a positive and gratitude state. It can help us get rid of negative emotion and maintain a balanced state of mind.

img_0848
3. The mind of service: Every individual is deep down selfish. We live, work, desire all the time for our own selfish needs. We feel we will be happier this way. But, we end up suffering because of our selfish desires and needs. We need to realise this sooner or later. The more, we grow towards an unselfish mind, a mind in service to others, the lesser is the negativity around.

4.A bigger picture: Whenever we breed a negative emotion towards a person or a situation, we tend to have a narrow perspective. We become selfish as our ego hurts, and our ‘sense of self’ is threatened. Realizing this fault of our’s is a great help. Being self aware of our narrow-mindedness is a crucial step. It will help us to view the person or the situation in a wide broader picture. Therefore, we become less judgemental towards the state or the person.

5. Nurturing positive emotions: We need deliberate efforts to boost positive feelings of compassion, kindness, love and gratitude. Nurturing these emotions can substitute negative emotions of anger, hatred and jealousy. Cultivating a habit of doing good to others can create good mental impressions and thereby bring good feelings of joy and happiness.

background-calm-clouds-747964
6.Meditation: The daily practices of meditation, nature walk, chanting, yoga, creative activities enhances self-awareness. Through self-awareness, we can gain better clarity of mind. We have better control of our mind, emotions and actions.

Hello Everyone ! Have a great day 🙋🏻

Your body is not a single entity. It is a community of 50 trillion cells which behaves the way you think, feel and act. When you are in good emotional health, your healthy mental state influence every cell of your body to grow, function healthily and die in normal cyclical order. Again, new cells born and the cycle goes on. But, then this is an ideal situation.

Today, life is full of stressful and unwanted changes. Some of these events like a job change, job stress, death of loved one, divorced or any such situations create a stronger sense of anxiety, sadness, pain which can completely disrupt your emotional health. With emotions running high, your physical health gets affected causing you to develop high blood pressure, hormonal imbalances, stomach ulcers, weight issues etc. Not only this, your immune system gets affected greatly. You are more prone to disease and illness. So, how do we deal with this?

Controlling our external environment, or the circumstances and events in life is not within our control. There is nothing we can do about it. The only thing we have control is on our emotions, thoughts which do influence our physical health.

4 ways to handle better your emotional state:

1.Resilience: Always keep having a positive view of self. Love yourself and understand your self-worth. This helps in creating a security blanket around yourself. Having strong social support, being close to your loved ones, friends do matter. Learning to accept change in the environment, and keeping everything in proper perspective is important. Not everything in life will happen as per your will. All these mindsets help in building resilience to deal with any situations healthily.

2.A balanced life: Always count on your Blessings and gratefulness. Focus on things in your life for which you are grateful. Try not to get obsessed with anything like job pressure, relationship issues, problems at work or at home. Because things do change with time. Let go of the things which are stressful to your life and make time for things which you can enjoy. Create a balance in your life which helps you, in your both, emotional and physical health.

3.Calm your mind: There is a strong mind-body connection. The more your mind is calmer, the more you are stressfree and enjoy a healthier body. Always, make time to engage yourself in mind activity like meditation, listening to calm music, deep breathing, stretching or Yoga.

4.Self-care: To take care of emotional health, try taking care of your physical health by following a healthy routine of eating healthy, sleep, exercise. Releasing pent up emotions by sharing with loved ones and friends is important too. Exercising also helps in letting out pent up emotions.
