फळांमुळे आरोग्य, सौंदर्याचे संवर्धन Originally Posted By : https://loksatta.com/lifestyle/health-and-nutrition-benefits-of-fruit-354348/ वृत्तसंस्था Published: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 विविध फळांचे भरपूर प्रमाणात व नियमितपणे सेवन केल्यास आरोग्याबरोबरच सौंदर्य वर्धन होण्यास मदत होते. फळे खात असताना आवडणारे व एकाच प्रकारचे फळ न खाता ती बदलून खाल्यास त्याचा फायदा अधिक होतो. फळामुळे इतर अन्नाच्या पचनास देखील मदत होते. अपचन व पोटाच्या इतर विकीरांचा त्रास होत असेल्यास पचन पूर्ववत्‌ करण्यासाठी दोन-तीन दिवस फलाहार करणे फायद्याचे ठरत असल्याचे तज्ज्ञांचे मत आहे. वेगवेगळ्या फळांपासून मिळणारी वेगवेगळी जीवनसत्वे आंबा - फळांचा राजा आंब्यामध्ये अ, ब व क ही तीन जीवनसत्वे मुबलक प्रमाणात असतात. मात्र, अतिप्रमाणात खाल्ल्यास त्रास देखील होण्याची शक्यता असते. उन्हाळ्यातील उष्म्याच्या त्रासापासून बचाव करण्यासाठी आंब्याचे कच्चे पन्हे उपयोगी ठरतात. डाळिंब - डाळिंब हे फळ

Clean the Grime Between Your Oven's Window with a Hanger  Originally Posted By : http://www.lifehacker.co.in/life/Clean-the-Grime-Between-Your-Ovens-Window-with-a-Hanger/articleshow/29171652.cms   Melanie Pinola, Gawker Media Jan 21, 2014, 11.00 PM IST When you clean your oven, chances are one area will still be neglected and dirty: the oven window glass. That's because stains can get caught between the glass window. Anna Moseley shows us how to finally clean it, using a hanger and a glass cleaning wipe. Essentially, you wrap the cleaning wipe around a straightened hanger and secure it with a rubber band. Then, slide the cleaning "contraption" through the slot between the door and the glass (found on the bottom of the oven door). Anna lay on the floor to do this, but you should be able to take the door off the oven instead. (Try lifting the door up when it's opened slightly or checking your oven manual.) After this, you'll have a pri

Facts about Vitamin D You Should Know  Originally Posted By : http://www.lifehacker.co.in/jugaad/Facts-about-Vitamin-D-You-Should-Know/articleshow/29188733.cms   Manisha Goel Jan 22, 2014, 09.44 AM IST Vitamin D deficiency is becoming a new lifestyle problem these days. It is a common problem among older adults and people who do not get much exposure to sunlight. Scientists from various countries have done overwhelming research on vitamin D and how it can be beneficial for the health. Do you know there are many less known facts about vitamin D? Since our school days, we have been studying that sunlight is a rich source of vitamin D but, the fact is our body produces vitamin D with the help of sunlight through the process of synthesization. In recent times, Vitamin D deficiency is becoming a major health problem because of the sedentary lifestyle. However, lifestyle is not the only reason to blame for this increasing health problem.

Deal Tactfully With Your Moody Boss Manisha Goel Jan 14, 2014, 10.45 AM IST In today's high pressure work environment, mood swings are quite common. People display frequent and unpredictable changes in mood , which make it difficult for others to work with them. If your boss is one of them, then you must be feeling like the victim of his/ her mood swings. People facing mood swings feel one minute up and next minute down. They are not willing to engage with others, or they have a bad attitude and appear confrontational or snappy towards others. Compared to a boss that tends to be in a good mood all the time, a moody boss does not see the impact of his bad mood has on others, no matter what the reason is for their disturbed minds. They overlook the opportunity to reflect mature behavior and a self-correct negative attitude. So, here are some tips you can follow to manage with your moody boss: 1. Watch for pattern: Spiking your boss's coffee with mo

How to Disable Gmail's New Feature that Let Google+ Users Email You Alan Henry, Gawker Media Jan 13, 2014, 07.00 PM IST Last week, Google announced that Gmail users can email their Google+ connections without knowing their email address first. For some, it's an easy way to stay in touch. For others, it's a ticket to unwanted email. However you feel, here's how to turn the feature off, or set it so only the people you want can use it. Now that the new feature has rolled out to Gmail users (although it hasn't gotten to Google Apps users, as far as we can see), controlling who can email you is pretty simple: Click here to open the General tab in your Gmail Settings. Scroll down to Email via Google+ . Click the drop-down and select your preferred option. "Circles" (which was the default for me) only allows people in your circles-not those who have circled you-to contact you. "Extended circles" allows friends of your friends

Eight Rules to Help You Live Your Dream Life  Original Article by : http://www.lifehacker.co.in/jugaad/Eight-Rules-To-Live-A-Life-That-You-Dreamed-Of/articleshow/28633725.cms   Surbhi Chawla Jan 13, 2014, 10.45 AM IST Every year, at the New Year's Eve when the clock is just about to strike 12, I would tell myself that, "Well this year I am going to get that dream job, get the car that I have always wished for, have a body that I have always pictured for myself and also find the love of my life and so on. And this year will indeed be the turning point of my life" I may still have not achieved this all (at least not to the extent that I had wished for anyway) but that has not stopped me from dreaming and day dreaming about the same as yet! However, to add a dash of realism in the picture rather than going by the resolution, I have now started to focus more on the goals (link). In addition to increase the satisfaction quotient of my life and to b
