CPR

What is CPR???
The letters in CPR stand for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a combination of rescue breathing (mouth-to-mouth resuscitation) and chest compressions. If a child isn't breathing or circulating blood adequately, CPR can restore circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the brain. Without oxygen, permanent brain damage or death can occur in less than 8 minutes.
CPR may be necessary for children during many different emergencies, including accidents, near-drowning, suffocation, poisoning, smoke inhalation, electrocution injuries, and suspected sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

There are three part of CPR :-
  • A is for airway
  • B is for breathing
  • C is for circulation

Ego driven people

I found and read this article in the text muet (Longman),this article tell us about ego-driven people. Ego-driven people are controlled by fear of failure and they need to be always correct. They are dependent on what other people think of them, are not humble and think they can never be wrong. Their behaviour leads to arrogance. Unlike conceited people who think much more highly of themselves, arrogant people think much more highly of themselves compared to others. They also do not consider opinions of other people. Arrogant people only care for their own opinions and prefer to listen to people who flatter them. Arrogant people reward those who praise them and not those who give sincere feedback.

The benifits of apple

The benefits of apple…
The old saying “ to eat an apple going to bed, will make the doctor beg his bread” has been justified by its many health-rich properties. A member of the rose family, fossil remains have shown that apples were gathered and stored 5,000 years ago and it’s likely that they were already cultivated during the Neolithic times. Apples are excellent detoxifiers and apple juice can destroy viruses in the body.
In one recent study , Riu Hai Liu of Cornell University, has found although apples has only a small amount of vitamin C, eating 100 grams of apple provides the same amount of antioxidant activity as taking 1,500 milligrams of the same vitamin.
The use:
1. For people who suffer from gout and rheumatism, eat apple regularly because it will aid healing
2. Eating 2 apples a day will reduce your cholesterol level up to 10 %3. Drinking an apple juice
3 times a day, is said to prevent virus from settling in the body.
4. Another benefit of apple is for those who have problem with their stomach. If you have problem with indigestion, eat apples before meals.
5. Grated apple, when mixed with live yogurt may be helpful in cases of diarrhea

Brain power food

Brain Power Foods


You are what you eat. It means that foods play a very important role to enhance your ability to do some works. However, do you realise that foods also affected our brain power. Brain power is characterized by how alert, energetic, and concentrated your brain is in response to a task. Information in your brain passes through neurotransmitters, which are manufactured by the nerve cells using precursors. Different neurotransmitters will have different impacts on your brain activity. For example, serotonin is the calming neurotransmitter that usually makes you more relaxed, drowsy, and fuzzy-headed. While dopamine and norepinephrine are neurotransmitters that make you more alert, more attentive, motivated and mentally energetic. See, how do foods affected your brain power. So start from now, be wise on choosing your foods.

fermentetion food

Fermentation Food...

Fermented foods are those that have been transformed by microbial action or enzymes to produce a desirable biochemical and physical changes. Fermentation, from the perspective of the microorganism, is an oxygen free process (anaerobic) in which an organic compound endogenous to the organism acts as the final electron acceptor. For much microbial fermentations to occur the food must contain readily fermented sugar, usually either monosaccharide or disaccharides. The fermentation process usually needs an action of acids to metabolize the sugar. When the lactic acid bacteria ferment sugar, they produce varying amounts of lactic acid. This is due to two different metabolic pathways by which they may metabolize the sugar. One pathway results in homolactic fermentation while the other pathway leads to heterolactic fermentation.
