Hats off to Felix Baumgartner! In jumping out of a balloon from the stratosphere at 128,100ft (24 miles; 39km) above New Mexico, the 43-year-old also smashed the record for the highest ever freefall. He said he almost aborted the dive because his helmet visor fogged up. Felix broke the sound barrier and reached a maximum of speed of 1,342.8 km/h (833mph) through the near vacuum of the stratosphere before being slowed by the atmosphere later during his 4:20 minute long freefall. The 43-year-old Austrian skydiving expert also broke two other world records (highest freefall, highest manned balloon flight), leaving the one for the longest freefall to project mentor Col. Joe Kittinger. It took just under 10 minutes for him to descend. Only the last few thousand feet were negotiated by parachute. Once down, he fell to his knees and raised his fists in triumph. Helicopter recovery teams were on hand moments later. "Let me tell you - when I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble. You don't think about breaking records anymore, you don't think about gaining scientific data - the only thing that you want is to come back alive," he said afterwards at a media conference.

Lemons are an indispensable part of a meal. They have so many good qualities that enhance one's health. That is why my garden has always had a lemon tree. Growing a lemon tree is not difficult at all. You just need the right conditions for it to flourish. Choose the sunniest spot in the yard to plant a lemon tree in the ground, or pot a dwarf variety in a small garden. Harvest the fruit buds when they appear for the fi rst few seasons, as fruit fails to ripen properly while the tree is young and growing branches and leaves. Twist lemons off the stem to avoid harming the tree. Fertilise with organic matter or manure every three to six months, or add slow-release fertiliser if potted. Soil should be kept moist but not wet as too much water yellows the leaves until they drop. Prune to encourage new growth by cutting back half the current season's growth before planting. Prune again when the tree has matured and annually to keep fruit within reach.

Sitting at the computer the whole day can really take a toll on one's health. It also results in unwanted weight gain. However, there is any easy way to counter the weight gain and keep yourself healthy. Just do jumping jacks. Jumping jacks burn about 100 calories in 10 minutes. No special equipment or skills are needed. Jumping jacks are high impact, which may tax the joints. Use jumping jacks in a circuit, doing them for 30-60 seconds and alternating them with other cardio exercises such as marching, jogging, jumping rope, etc. Try a different variation of jumping jacks each time, repeating the circuit for 10-30 minutes.

I just received a mail in my inbox with the above title. It talked about how researchers have found that pomegranate juice not only seems to prevent hardening of the arteries by minimizing blood vessel damage, but the antioxidant-rich juice could also reverse the progression of this disease.Hardening of the arteries, also called atherosclerosis, refers to the build up of plaque in the walls of arteries. This results in decreased blood flow that can precipitate heart attacks and strokes.

The tests indicated that pomegranate juice minimized the effects of stress on human blood vessel cells by stimulating the production of nitric oxide. This chemical may help keep arteries open and keep blood flowing. Researchers feel that the beneficial effects of pomegranate juice on hardening of the arteries are probably due to its high antioxidant content. The study revealed that the antioxidant level in pomegranate juice was higher than that found in other fruit juices, including blueberry, cranberry, orange, and even red wine. 

The fact that homeopathic medicines work wonders was recently proved to me when I suffered a fracture in my foot. Because of the type of fracture that it was, I was told that I should not walk on that foot for the next 6 weeks, and that it might take even longer than that for it to heal completely. I was feeling very depressed because I also heard that, if the fracture does not heal properly, one could keep experiencing pain in that foot throughout their life. I voiced my concern to my uncle, who told me not to worry at all. He said that there is a homeopathic medicine called Symphytum Officinale which heals fractures very fast and very effectively. I started taking this medicine right from the outset and the result was that, not only was my fracture healed within 6 weeks, but I was also walking without any pain, discomfort, or any other residual problems. If you or any one you know has a fracture and would like to know how to take this harmless medicine that has no side effects, just leave a comment below.

Wine is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages on the planet. Its history spans thousands of years and while heavy drinking of any alcoholic beverage rather brings lots of health-related troubles instead of benefits, current research suggests that a glass of red wine each day may be providing you with more than just a little relaxation. European researchers suggest that moderate daily intake of red wine (22-32 g of alcohol) has a protective effect on all-cause mortality. According to studies from France, UK, Finland and Denmark, moderate consumption of wine is more beneficial than that of beer or spirits. One of the well-known and most studied benefits of red wine is its heart protective effect. Moderate consumption of red wine on a regular basis may be a preventative against coronary heart disease. Scientists believe the red wine reduces the risk of coronary heart disease by reducing production of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and boosting high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Red wine may prevent the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis (hardening or "furring" of the arteries). Atherosclerosis starts when blood vessels begin to lose their ability to relax. Red wine intake also reduces the risk of kidney stone formation. Some of the top wines include french wine and burgundy wine.
