Expectation Leads To Frustration

Expectation means the feeling that good things are going to happen in the future.What does the bible say about expectation- expectations can be high or low, reasonable or unreasonable, good or bad. The bible speaks of expectations of redemption.

If you expect too much, you will be frustrated. If you don't want to be frustrated, don't expect. Live without expectations and there will be no frustration.People go on expecting; then frustration comes in-frustration is the shadow of expectation. When you feel frustrated you think that existence is doing something wrong to you.Whatsoever happens in life think that its always good.You have no way to judge it.

One of my family friend,he is a businessman,settled in Bombay.Once I went to bombay to visit his family.He looks very sad I enquired  what is the matter? He said, there has been a great loss. Listening to this,his wife started laughing.She said,don't bothered what he says.There has been no loss-in fact there has been a great profit.

I was surprised and said, you both are here, please try to explain this to me.His wife said, there is no loss. He was expecting a huge amount of profit from his new project ie one core and after settling all he got only 25 lakhs. So he says 75 lakhs loss, and I say you have profited-but he won't listen, and he is very sad.

When you expect one crore rupees and you get 25 lakhs you feel frustrated. If you are not expecting that much and you get 25 lakhs rupees you have full of joy,satisfaction,thankfulness and gratitude.

Frustration means:-The feeling of being annoyed or less confident because you cannot achieve what you want,or something that makes you feel like this.

Don't expect, and you see your whole life become a joy.Expect,and your whole life becomes a hell.Expectation is the cause. If you want to change,never start by the effect,start by the cause.Frustration is the effect.You can go on fighting with frustration-nothing will happen. Whenever you are feeling miserable,go in to it and find our where the cause is.If you wanted to drop the effect then avoid the cause; then become aware,more and more aware.

There are many people who enjoy frustration.  There are many people who enjoy being miserable. In fact,they cannot tolerate happiness at all. When they are miserable they are happy,when they are happy they feel very miserable. Whenever you are miserable you gain something: sympathy,attention. Whenever you are happy nobody shows any sympathy-in fact,people become jealous. When you are unhappy everybody is a friend,everybody sympathise with you-even your enemy will sympathise with you. When you are happy even your friend will  become jealous.

When you are happy nobody pays any attention to you. People avoid you. In fact,they start thinking you must be mad: Happy? Who has ever heard of anybody being happy! When you are unhappy they accept you.Then they think everything is okay,because this is how things have to be. And people enjoy your unhappiness,that's why they pay attention-because whenever you are unhappy they can compare themselves,and deep down they can feel good.

You love frustration? then go into it. Become more artistic about it, decorate it a little more; make new possibilities,new doors to become more frustrated. If you don't enjoy it,then I don't see the problem. Just  go deep into it,watch and you will find some expectation hidden behind. Whenever you expect, you are asking for frustration. Drop expectations. 

Expecting and Accepting are two sides of life. Where expecting ends in tears, accepting makes you cheer,Accept life the way it comes.

Help is a very expensive gift, so don't expect it from everyone, because very few people are Rich by Heart-Rest others only talk. Speaking without ego, loving without intention, caring without expectations and praying without selfishness are the sign of a true relation in friendship and in life.

One Should Know About Heartburn?

Many people believe that HEARTBURN (an acidic burning feeling in the chest) is the result of sour or spicy food going down the food pipe.However, that does not explain why even the sweet food like the chocolate causes the heartburn in some people. The fact is the burning sensation does not come from anything in food,but stomach acidity leaking upwards into the food pipe.Stomach acids are powerful enough to burn skin,bleach colored cloth, or remove paint.A tight valve normally keeps the acid in the stomach,which is suitable to withstand its action,but in certain conditions,the valve fails,allowing the acids to creep into the food pipe.

Here are some conditions that can drive the acid write through the valve-over eating,wearing clothes that are tight across the tummy,lifting heavy objects or doing hectic exercise or lying down soon after a big meal. Certain foods,even non- spicy ones,causes production of extra acid or loosen the valve. The usual offenders are coffee, tea, carbonated drinks, tomatoes,peppermint,chocolate,buttery or oily food,onions and heavy milk deserts. Any one can suffer heartburn,but it is commonest in pregnant women and over-weight middle aged men. Cigarettes,alcohol,and erratic eating seem to make it worse.

Experts together have put some preventive tips: Drink water with or after meals to rinse acids out of food pipe and dilute stomach acids.Stay upright after meals;let gravity hold the acids down. If you must lie down after meals, lie on your left side;this pinches the valve shut and make it difficult for the acids to come up. Eat small meals to avoid overflow. If the heartburn is worst when you lie down,raise the whole head-side of the bed by propping it on bricks.Do not consume unlimited antacid pills.To many will block even normal acid,production,giving you indigestion.

How to Control And Reduce Cholesterol

One of the most common causes of heart attacks in the western world is arterial blockage caused by the accumulation of Cholesterol .This can be avoided by a good diet and exercising,if you have been diagnosed with high levels of bad cholesterol,there are food and activities that speed up the process of reducing your cholesterol levels.

What is Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is an organic lipid molecule and is bio synthesized by all animal cells because it is an essential structural component of animal (not plant or bacterial) cell membranes that is required to maintain both membrane structural integrity and fluidity.The level of cholesterol in our body is a result of a process in the liver that creates the cholesterol.In fact,over 85% of our cholesterol is produced by liver.The rest comes from eating animal products,such as beef,chicken,fish,eggs and dairy.

The body is an incredible system,and a healthy body creates cholesterol for a reason,as it is an essential material for us:

1.Cholesterol is used to produce hormones like oestrogen,progesterone and testosterone.

2.Cholesterol is vital for creation of vitamin D

3.The membrane of every cell in our body contains cholesterol.

4.Cholesterol is used to produce needed steroids.

When do you have too much cholesterol?

A situation of higher than normal levels of cholesterol can be worrying because of it may build up in the blood vessels and cause coronary diseases,as well as problems with blood flow.The normal range of cholesterol in the body is up to 200 mg.The standard medicine taken to treat additional cholesterol levels operates by delaying the enzyme that take part in the process of creating cholesterol in the liver,so we limit the rate of building our own cholesterol. Is it logical for us to limit the internal creation of cholesterol without addressing the external source? Nutrition will always be crucial when dealing with a surplus of cholesterol.How can you speed up cholesterol reduction?.`

1.Cholesterol 

The cholesterol one needs to get rid of is LDL (Low-Density Lipoproteins),which is common in animal products.One of the best ways to lower LDL levels is by consuming foods rich in HDL (High Density Lipoproteins),which comes from plants and is called phytosterols. Phytosterols work in a similar manner to the soluble fibres in laxatives,and can be found in foods such as fruits,vegetables,nuts,soy and whole grains.

2.Onion Extract

Several studies have found that onions are effective in reducing LDL (bad Cholesterol),as well as your body's glycemic level.Dr.Deepika Gopal,a cardiologist at The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano,says that,"In the Indian culture,we believe spices have healing properties,and onion and garlic are both very useful in lowering cholesterol,based on what we've seen in Indian cooking." It is not a miracle cure,can definitely help.

3.Red Yeast Rice

As the name suggests,this is a type of red yeast that is grown on rice.This yeast contains monacolin K,a compound that does not allow the liver to produce cholesterol,which the body needs to build its cells.When not locally produced,the body starts searching for reservoirs of cholesterol in the body and uses them.Taking red yeast in pill form has been shown to reduce LDL levels by 10%-30%.

4.Soy

A moderate consumption of soy products such as tofu has been shown to reduce LDL levels in the body,as well as occasionally having a positive effect on breast cancer.According to Harvard Medical School study,drinking 21/2 cups of soymilk or eating 10 ounces of tofu a day can reduce LDL levels by 5%-6%.

5.Alcohol

You have probably heard that a glass of red wine id good for your health,and the reason is that,even though it does not reduce the level of LDL in the body,it increase the level of HDL. Think of HDL as a drain unclogger for cholesterol. The Mayo Clinic warns that men and women under 65 should avoid drinking more than two glasses of wine a day,and those who 65 stick to 1 glass a day.However,consult with your doctor first,as alcohol can exacerbate preexisting liver disease and certain heart conditions.

6.Indian Gooseberry

Indian gooseberry contains potent antioxidants that help the cardiovascular system.Cholesterol will oxidize in your bloodstream, becoming plaque,which adheres to the arterial walls and slowly clogs them.Antioxidants stop oxidization,preventing the buildup of Plaque.

7.Pectin

Pectin is a fibre that can be found in the white membrane inside citrus fruits.Pectin can lower LDL levels by 7%-10% and works in a way similar to phytosterol and soluble fibres.Pectin is also found in apples,as well as in pill form.

8.Licorice Root

This is only relevant for fresh licorice root or in pill form,as the candied stuff you find in the store often that licorice root could lower LDL levels,as well as body fat.Licorice root has many healthy properties.Please be aware,however,that licorice can have severe interactions with certain medication such as insulin,contraceptives and laxatives.If you are taking any of these and want to start using it,consult with your doctor.

9. Bergamot

A lesser-known citrus fruit,but with potent cholesterol-lowering powers.You may recognise the aroma from Earl Grey tea,as oil from bergamot rinds is used to give that tea its particular flavour. While bergamot has a small amount of pectin,its real power comes from having a high concentration of several flavonoids.In several recent studies,bergamot was found to reduce LDL cholesterol levels by around 25%-27%,as well as raise HDL cholesterol levels.

10.Laxatives

Some laxatives do not just clear your bowels:they can also block the absorption of cholesterol in the blood.Laxatives that contain soluble fibres become jelly-like and travel through your stomach and intestine,collecting cholesterol and preventing it from being absorbed.The best part is that the laxative absorbs cholesterol from food,not from your body's reservoirs,which forces the body to start using its own supply.Additionally,fibrous laxatives often help you feel sated and prevent you from craving snacks.

11.Sleep

In Japanese Nihon University School of Medicine found that women,who sleep less than 5 hours or more than 8 hours,often suffer from an excess of LDL and absence of HDL. According to the experts at the University,cholesterol metabolism happens when we sleep,so getting too much or not enough will disrupt the body's natural functions.Additionally,getting enough sleep increases your mental faculties,helping you control unhealthy cravings and giving you energy to exercise and move more during the day.If you are having trouble falling asleep,try doing these exercise before bed.
