Tip of the day- how to wake up a student sleeping in class without hurting his/her feelings

One of the challenges faced by teachers handling post-lunch session is facing dozing wards. How can a teacher handle this situation?  I asked this to my students to lend their ideas as to how we can make the student wake up.
these were some of the ideas given by students: (Though i am not for all these , still i mention them)
1. call the student by name and ask her a question
2.ask the student to go and wash face and come back
3. stop the class and tell a story
4. tell a joke
5. ask the whole class to stand and sit so that , that 1 student alone is not hurt
6. ask questions to that row of students

I totally disagree to this. This would disturb the whole class and also if you ask question to the student, she will definitely feel hurt. Even if we dont ask question but ask her to freshen up and come , the student feels hurt when pointed out that she is sleeping in class.
So What can be done !  We should not stop the class, but at the same time must not allow the  students to sleep or doze off. Follow this simple technique:
When ever a teacher is assigned a particular class, before we enter the  class it is essential that we are familiar with the names of few students . When we find a student dozing just call the person sitting next to her. Say Nithya is sleeping and Anitha is sitting next to her, Simply say" understood Anitha? " THis will alert Anitha and Nithya. Then  after 5 min we can say "is it ok Nithya"? This sort of spelling out names makes the child feel that you are giving importance to her. She not only feels happy motivated and encouraged but will not sleep say atleast for another hour.  In a similar manner if we call names of students sitting in 8 corners of the class then the whole class will be attentive . When one name is spelt out the students surrounding that student also become alert. This method makes the students to be alert in class and we teachers are not allowing them to sleep or we don't hurt their ego .
Happy teaching to teachers!!!

Lady's finger for diabetes or blood sugar control...............

Can lady's finger be used for controlling blood sugar level or what is normally called as diabetes or hyperglycemic condition??
When ladies finger is kept in water for 3 to 4 hours , the mucous dissolves in water and we get slimy water. this mucous is rich in protein. When this water is taken in empty stomach, it may neutralise the hydrochloric acid secreted inside the stomach. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is required for digestion. HCl hydrolyses the food and finally we get glucose and energy. In empty stomach the content of HCl is more and when food is supplied to the stomach digestion is rapid. 
But instead of food when the slimy water of ladies finger is taken in , it reacts with HCl and this acid is thus not available for digestion. This means it will take a longer time for food to be hydrolysed to glucose. this means that there will  be slow release of blood sugar. Hence intake of slimy water of ladies finger is good for diabetic sugar patients for whom rapid hydrolysis of starch is not recommended.
Beware- but if excess mucous is taken in , it may hamper digestion!!
Mucous of lady's finger has amlyase inhibiting activity and hence is good for control of blood sugar.  this mucous rich water should be taken before lunch and not in the morning or night.

Lifi- the technology most awaited !

Lifi- the technology most awaited !
*    Lifi refers to light fidelity
*    With increase in population our wants and needs are increasing day by day.
*    We are in the search for newer technologies and newer concepts
*    We had room sized computers replaced by desktop pc’s, then TFT monitors, then laptops, then very slim laptops, then tabs, iphones,  and so on
*    This sort of development is for the want of more sophisticated gadgets with high operating speeds, memory and other convenient parameters like weight, aesthetic appearance, cost etc.
*    Lifi lends its hand in increasing the data transfer to more than 100 times than in Wifi
*    I wonder if we can use trees or solar radiation for data transfer!!
*    If trees played the role of refueling bunks and Wifi spots, there wouldn’t be the need for environmental awareness programmes!
*    Though we don’t have TREE Fi technology, we have what is called LIFI
*    It is an visible light communication system
*    It is dependent on the use of visible light which sometimes is a drawback
*    This means even in day time we need light in all places
*    It uses wireless communication at very high speeds
*    It transmits data electromagnetically similar to Wifi
*    Light sources like visible light (common LED’s ) Ultra violet or Infra red light in the range 400 to 800 THz are used in Lifi for data transfer at high speeds say 224 Gigabits per second.
*    Professor Harald Heas of University of Edenburgh coined this term Lifi in 2011 in the context that even light bulbs can act as wireless routers than cellular towers which are now providing data transfer.
*    A photo detector receives light signals and signal processing element for converting data into stream able content
*    Data is fed into a visible light sourcing signal processing technology which then sends data at rapid speed to the photo detector which receives that light signals.
*    The continuous supply of current that is constant source of photons supplied to a light source like LED can be flicked on and off at extremely high speeds still being invisible to naked eye.
*    These tiny changes in the rapid flicking on an off of LED bulbs is then converted by the receiver into electrical signal which is then converted back into binary data recognizable as web, video or auidio applications which are un on internet enabled devices
*    Wifi can pass thru walls but is not possible with Lifi. Though this makes it secure it but necessitates the use of light even in day time, in all rooms to have connectivity.
*    Lifi is more secure that Wifi due to its shorter range
*    The installation costs of Lifi are initially high
*    Even light reflects from walls can transfer data at speeds in the range 70-75MB/sec

*    Lifi is advantageous in that it can be used in places where there are more electromagnetic interferences.

why should the filter in water doctor or pureit be cleaned once in 6 months?

The water doctor or pureit water filter we use at home contains activated carbon as the adsorbent. Activated carbon has the  potential to remove odour colour micobes organic and other in organic impurities.  All these impurities get adsorbed (not absorbed) on the surface of the carbon. Every time water passes through the carbon the impurities get adsorbed and Clean water gets filtered. This process goes on till the surface can hold the impurities.  After the whole surface is filled with a layer of impurities the activated carbon can no more hold impurities and it slowly starts desorbing. When we don't change filter desorption takes and when we drink this water infact we are consuming all microbes accumulated along with desorbed impurities.
Therefore we should change the filters or best way is to boil water for at least 15min and drink.

What is so special about turmeric?

A recent survey revealed less cancer statistics in South India compared to other countries.  We use lot of turmeric wh contains curcumin, an anti cancer agent. Our ancestors have used turmeric with salt.  Curcumin with salt forms sodium salt of curcumate wh facilitates absorption of curcumin .Hence in our food preparations its good to add turmeric and salt together. Prep like mor kuzhambu are thus good and should be taken once a week.

how to clean your white vegetable cutting board?

how to combat vitamin deficiency in a natural way avoiding tablets?

For long I have wondered why we take so many vitamin tablets when our body can absorb only very less of it.
Vitamin B1 or thiamine deficiency can be overcome by taking rice waterwash with a pinch of salt.
Vitamin C by taking Lime juice with salt
Vitamin D by simply standing for some time in morning sun
Vitamin A by taking carrot  in empty stomach or carrot juice with a spoon of milk

In general we can get intake of all vitamins by including greens veg and fruits

why is abishekam (pooja) milk good?,

Milk is a natural bleach. It can remove dirt and dissolve elements to a small amount. Ancient temples have idols made of panchaloga (madeof 5metals) .our body requires minerals in small quantities . our ancestors have standardised this amount as few millilitres- the amount given to us after abhishekam In take of this milk once a week replenishes our essential mineral intake. 
IN my opinion lets not avoid this milk when given in temples and lets visit temples a week!

Alarming Vitamin B12 deficiency- Tingling feel? you may be Vitamin B12 deficient!

Vitamin B12 deficiency is a silent deficiency disorder on a increase in vegetarians!
Tingling feeling, tiredness, nervous weakness are some of the notable symptoms seen in this deficiency. When somebody pulls a chair strongly a normal person get annoyed but does not  physically much bother us. But this is not so in the case of vitamin B12 deficient people. It produces a strong tingling effect. Mostly palm and feet sense this feeel more and even intake of tablets for a period of time does not cure this. Injections of B12 - methylcobalamin seem to be more effective.

So how do we combat this deficiency or take some precautionary measure to avoid this!
Vitamin B12 is present in appreciable amounts in liver of animal foods. Vegetarian foods lack vitamin B12. Soya has meagre amounts of this vitamin. Hence this deficiency is called a vegetarian disease. 
If you are a non-vegetarian, give your child liver before the age of 15 when the absorption of vitamin b12 is appreciable. This will not produce this deficiency in your life time.!

Best source of Vit B12: rain water, soy milk, Liver (meat)

does iron interfere with calcium absorption in food?

THERE ARE SEVERAL RESEARCHES AND ARGUEMENTS related to absorption of minerals from food.  Its true that iron competes with calcium absorption but does not interfere. Also food preparations are a mixture of varied nutrients. Hence when speakung of a normal diet calcium absorption is not interfered by iron. Except when we take gelusil or such exexternal calcium sources iron absorption may be interfered. Otherwise milk helps in absorption of vitamins particularly vit a d e and k since these are lipid soluble.  Hence in short iron will only compete with calcium and not interfere.

Always synergistic effect only plays a role as far as food prep are concerned.

Ward off evil eyes with salt , pepper and dry red chillies? is it a myth?

Its is customary to use common salt, pepper and red chilly to ward off evil eyes. This is normally done for children mostly for kids. In south India it is common . After few days from birth, this is followed. The science behind it speaks of the chemistry our ancestors knew. Amazing!
Common salt , pepper and chilli take up the bacteria and virus surrounding a person( lets say when your mother uses these in her closed fist and does the suthi podufying ( excuse my language- so that  bloggers understand) with the intention of warding off all evil eyes, all virus, bacteria and other germs are taken up in this medium and this prevents infection. This is also the principle involved in Reiki treatment where the surrounding air is cleansed to cure a disease. To expose our body surroundings to more salt, it was made mandatory to use salt , pepper etc taken around 3 times or nine times both clockwise and anticlockwise direction and to discard without turning back !. The salt does not provide the optimal environment for the microbes to grow. In case of child birth, the new born is visited by many people relatives, neighbours and many well wishers . Increase in number of visitors over a closed area ( since the new born is confined to a closed space) increases microbial concentration in the room . Hence this system was adopted wherein salt removes microbes in the air in the closed space. 
so in the case , when a kid achieves something, a mother is excited and does this suthi poduthal- whenever there is an achievement, people have the habit of congratulating, shaking hands etc which causes more transfer of microbes. HEnce be young or old, using salt to ward off this microbes slowly became warding off evil eyes. 
IF your kid or yourself suffer from an infection be it a fever, common cold or any other pain, using a handful of salt and taking it all over your body from top to bottom and all over the body- clockwise and anticlockwise for atleast 2 minutes will ease you from pain. THis salt should immediately be washed off. 

WARD OFF MIGRAINE BY SIMPLER MEANS!

Migraine is a common problem noted when there is sodium deficiency. At the onset of headache, a glass of water with salt and lime should  be taken. The lime peel can be applied on the forehead. This will ward off the migraine. 

Multani Mitti (Fuller's earth) is nothing but a form of mud

 or clay. When this is mixed with honey or curd or lime 

juice or milk it not only gives glow to your face but also 

relieves you from headache.

What is fever? Why should you take a course of antibiotics?

What is fever?
Fever is a symptom indicating the presence of  a foreign substance in the body be it a objects or bacteria, virus etc. There is an increase in temperature which should be brought down by wet cloth swab. This is to ensure that we dont lose moisture from our body and get dehydrated. The functioning of  most of the organs is also disturbed when the temperature of the body increases. HEnce care should be taken to bring down the body temperature. 
Do not immediately give crocin or any anti-pyretic tablet . Analyse the causative for the onset of fever. 
When doctor prescribes a dose of tablets say 8 tablets , do not skip these. 
Bacteria forms spores when you take the first tablet. It becomes inactivated. Immediately we feel that we are cured. No fever! No tab!
But the bacteria is only inactive. With the second tab it still more hardens the cell wall as a self defense. Further doses act on the cell wall and kills the bacteria. If you stop with two tablets , the bacteria inside the spore starts multiplying and after few days there would be an outburst of bacteria which would act with full vigour . In this situations the common broad spectrum anti biotics might be resistant.
that is why you should take a full dose of prescribed antibiotics or medicine

How to improve eye sight? the chemistry of Vision

How we see an object is a photochemical reaction. For vision to take place the reaction is conversion of cis-retinal an organic molecule with aldehyde group, to trans-retinal. This process is called cis- trans isomerization. When this process takes place in our eye, we are able to see.
Now Whats the role of carrot ?

carrot has vitamin A.
Vitamin A has trans retinol an organic compound with alcoholic functional group. this has to be converted to cis retinol. THis retinol is then oxidized to retinal . 
Carrot is also an good anti oxidant. It makes us look young. Free radicals generated in our body are responsible for ageing of cells. When these free radicals are removed from the body / quenched, then we can maintain our youth look. This is possible by use of free radical scavengers. Carrot is one such miracle food. 
Drink carrot juice with few milliliters of milk and no added sugar. Vitamins are of two types- water soluble and fat soluble. Fat soluble ones are called lipophilic. Vitamin A is lipophilic . Hence milk to carrot juice would help in easy absorption and utilization of vitamin A. Thus vitamin A helps in good vision and  acts as an anti-ageing agent.

How to prevent common cold and fever?

Does your child suffer from frequent cold, cough and fever? Have you ever wondered why this happens to your child only!?   
Bacteria and virus cause these. Unhygienic atmosphere, contamination with bacteria infected things etc cause spread of such infections.
onion adsorbs these bacteria and virus and it prevents such infections.
Cut 1 or 2 thin slices of onion and leave it in your child's bedroom. It takes up the bacteria and virus in your room !
When the onion becomes shrunk and turns dark , discard without touching it.
Try this! your child will never get infections!

2016 will be full of posts
