What Happens In Each Part Of The Brain During Meditation

Frontal lobe
This is the most highly evolved part of the brain, responsible for reasoning, planning, emotions and self-conscious awareness. During meditation, the frontal cortex tends to go offline.

Parietal lobe
This part of the brain processes sensory information about the surrounding world, orienting you in time and space. During meditation, activity in the parietal lobe slows down.

Thalamus
The gatekeeper for the senses, this organ focuses your attention by funneling some sensory data deeper into the brain and stopping other signals in their tracks. Meditation reduces the flow of incoming information to a trickle.


Reticular formation
As the brain’s sentry, this structure receives incoming stimuli and puts the brain on alert, ready to respond. Meditating dials back the arousal signal.

Look After Your Teeth More (Tips For Healthy Teeth)

Here are some tips to help you look after your teeth. Brush at least twice a day.  The best time to brush teeth is after meals. Choose a toothbrush with a small head for better access to back teeth. Soft bristles are kinder on your gums.  How To Brush Your Teeth Correctly Use fluoridated toothpaste.  Fluoride helps to harden tooth enamel and reduces your risk of decay.  How To Floss Your Teeth Correctly Brush thoroughly.  Tooth brushing should take between two and three minutes. Floss your teeth daily.  Use a slow and gentle sawing motion. Limit acidic drinks like soft drinks, cordials and fruit juices.  Food acids soften tooth material and dissolve the minerals in tooth enamel, causing holes (cavities or caries). In severe cases, teeth may be ‘eaten’ right down to the gum. Limit sugary foods.  Bacteria in dental plaque change sugars into acids. Protect your teeth from injury.  Wear a mouthguard or full-face helmet when playing sports. Try to save a knocked out tooth.  If poss

Why Diary Products, Carbohydrates, Chocolate and etc..Cause Acne??

1. Carbohydrates: One study found that people who frequently consumed added sugars had a 30% greater risk of developing acne, while those who regularly ate pastries and cakes had a 20% greater risk.                                      This increased risk may be explained by the effects refined carbohydrates have on blood sugar and insulin levels. Refined carbohydrates are absorbed quickly into the bloodstream, which rapidly raises blood sugar levels. When blood sugars rise, insulin levels also rise to help shuttle the blood sugars out of the bloodstream and into your cells.However, high levels of insulin are not good for those with acne. Insulin makes androgen hormones more active and increases insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). This contributes to acne development by making skin cells grow more quickly and by boosting sebum production.On the other hand, low-glycemic diets, which do not dramatically raise blood sugars or insulin levels, are associated with reduced acne sever
