Foods that fight against the Blood Pressure
Hello my dear friends we have heard about many foods that shrink our
belly weight loss foods and foods for the fairness of the skin but now
its time to know that new researches have found foods that fight against
blood pressure we know that red meat will be topping the list okay now
go through the article ............for your healthy diet.
Some of the research is associative — i.e. people with low blood pressure are the same people who eat certain foods — because it’s extremely difficult to document and prove causation when it comes to diet and health conditions. Other studies focus on a nutrient known to have specific properties, then recommend foods containing that nutrient.
Either way, who better to take dietary tips from than those who’ve managed to keep their blood pressure low? Here are specific foods that research recommends to lower blood pressure.

Either way, who better to take dietary tips from than those who’ve managed to keep their blood pressure low? Here are specific foods that research recommends to lower blood pressure.
1. Non-fat Yogurt
This one’s a myth-buster, because “dairy” is often lumped in with other
sources of saturated fat in heart health nutrition recommendations. But
actually, it turns out non-fat yogurt is good for your heart, unlike
cheese and many other higher fat dairy products. (And don’t forget that
non-fat Greek yogurt is higher in protein than regular yogurt, an added
benefit.)
Research presented at the High Blood Pressure Research 2012 Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association (AHA) found that people who ate more non-fat yogurt were 31 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than others. The study included upwards of 2,000 adults, who were tracked for 14 years. The 31-percent reduction was found in people for whom non-fat yogurt made up 2 percent or more of their daily calories.

2. Sunflower Seeds
All nuts and legumes are heart-healthy, but sunflower seeds seem to be
in a class of their own when it comes to blood pressure. They’re
extremely high in vitamin E – just a handful and you’ve consumed 75
percent of your daily intake. They’re also rich in folic acid and
protein and are a good source of fiber. Beware, though; the typical
prepackaged snack pack of sunflower seeds is super salty, and sodium has
the opposite effect on blood pressure. Only unsalted seeds will do in
this case.
Experts don’t know exactly how sunflower seeds lower blood pressure, but Spanish researchers conducted an experiment in which they discovered that during digestion, sunflower seeds release a peptide that inhibits the body’s production of an enzyme that’s known to raise blood pressure.

3. Bananas
Two bananas a day (or even one and a half) could keep the cardiologist
at bay. That’s because bananas are among the most potassium-rich foods,
and the amount of potassium in 1.5 to 2 bananas has been shown to drop
blood pressure by 2 to 3 points, according to one report. Potassium
boosts kidney function, helping them flush sodium out of the body.
Potassium also helps artery walls relax. If you don’t like bananas,
raisins, prunes and watermelon are good sources of potassium, too.
Home Remedies for Natural Beauty
Keeping your hair and skin healthy can be confusing and pricey. There
are a myriad of different commercial products on the market, so
sometimes it's hard to know the items that actually work. Natural beauty
home remedies cost a fraction of the price of the commercial products.
There is the added benefit of using items found in nature and
customizing the products for your skin and hair.
Masks.Get smooth, glowing skin by using the natural home remedy of eggs. There are two different ways to use egg as a mask. An egg white mask is perfect for oily skin as it cleans oil out of the pores. Whip together two or three egg whites in a bowl. Apply it to your face using a brush. Let it sit for 15 minutes and wash off with warm water. For people with dry or normal skin, make an egg yolk mask for moisturized skin. Use one egg yolk, four drops of lemon juice and one tbsp. of olive oil. Apply it using a brush. Leave the egg yolk mask on for 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water.

World’s Top 10 National Parks
Kruger National Park, South Africa
There is quite literally nothing to match the grandeur and the magic of the African wildlife. With its vast land, untamed scenery and vibrant wildlife, the Kruger National Park is arguably the best Safari on earth. A dream trip where you’ll see large mammals, plenty of birds, the big hunters and the prey all sharing one land – that’s a must if you love wildlife.
Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary, Peru

It may not be your idea of a typical national park, but variety is the spice of life, and nothing provides more than the majestic Machu Picchu. No matter how many times you visit the ancient sites nestled in the thick green canopy, the journey through the Inca trail always seems to carry an air of excitement and a mystic aura with it. These are the South American Andes at their best.
Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal
Nestled in the unparalleled majesty of the mighty Himalayas, the Sagarmatha National Park in Nepal contains three of the world’s ten highest peaks (including Mount Everest itself). Two to three mile long retreating glaciers and deep, vibrant valleys, a snow-filled rugged terrain and a host of mountain wildlife, make this UNESCO World Heritage Site a grand destination.
Fiordland National Park, New Zealand

HAIR TIPS
I was recently browsing through channels and came across a wonderful
tip from The Style Network regarding hair. I suspected that I was
washing my hair all wrong because no matter what brand of products I
used it never seemed to have the type of texture I longed for.
According to TSN, you should only be using shampoo on the roots of
your hair, including ONLY about 5-7cm of the length. This probably
sounds so strange, because often we feel like all of our hair is dirty
and needs to be scrubbed. Well basically, the remainder of the product
will run down the length of the hair anyway getting rid of any muck.

NENO LA LEO; SERIKALI, BUNGE, WANAHABARI NA KISA CHA ELIAKIM SIMPASA...!
Laiti kama Bunge juzi hapa lingepitisha mapendekezo ya Serikali juu
ya vipengele vya sheria ya magazeti ya 1976, basi, nayo ingelikuwa ni
habari nyingine ya huzuni kubwa kwa Watanzania. Ni habari ya aibu.
Kwamba miaka 50 baada ya Uhuru, pamoja na kuminyika sana kwa
wanahabari, bado kuna watendaji Serikalini wanaofikiria kuwaminya zaidi
wanahabari.
Ndio, bado kuna wanaofikiria Wanahabari hawa wenye kufanya kazi
kwenye mazingira magumu sana wapewe adhabu kali zaidi wanapofanya makosa
wakiwa kazini.
Na wakati mwingine inaonekana, kuwa mahusiano ya Serikali na
Wanahabari ni kama ya mzazi na mtoto. Kwamba Serikali ni mzazi, ambaye
kila anapoona mtoto amekosea, anachofikiria ni kutafuta bakora ya
kumchapa. Na mtoto anapoonekana kulifanya tena kosa, basi, mzazi
anafikirikia kuongeza idadi ya bakora. Ni mzazi anayetaka kutuhumu na
kuhukumu hapo hapo. Ni viboko tu. Hataki na haioni haja ya mtu mwingine
aingilie kati kuwasikiliza mzazi na mtoto kwenye kutofautiana kwao.
