Drink water the organic way with copper water bottles

Copper is an essential trace mineral required for daily bodily functions and to maintain good health. Ayurveda suggests storing water overnight in a copper utensil and drinking it just after you wake up before consuming anything else. The water stored in a copper vessel is called Tamra Jal. The daily consumption of this water helps to stabilize the three doshas i.e. vata, kapha and pitta.

The metal copper possesses electromagnetic energy called prana shakti. Water which has been stored for 8-10 hours in a copper vessel such as copper water bottle or copper pitcher is very beneficial for the overall well-being. The copper particles make the water ionic which then helps in maintaining the pH or acid-alkaline balance in the body.

• It’s antimicrobial in nature- Based on a study published in 2012, storing contaminated water in a copper utensil for up to 16 hours at normal room temperature reduces the presence of harmful microbes considerably. The copper reduced the volume of microbes to such a level that scientists think that it can even be used as a permanent solution for water purification in rural areas.
• Helps with the immunity- Insufficient intake of copper may lead to neutropenia, which is a deficiency of white blood cells. The main function of white blood cells in the body is to fight off infections. A decrease in the number of white blood cells means an increased chance of contracting infectious diseases.
• It helps with weight loss- If you are trying to shed those extra pounds and are unable to do so then you need to include copper water in your daily life. Copper water improves the digestive system, thus improving its performance. It also helps the body to break down the fat and gets rid of it.

A thought about Thought

Science has just been able to prove that millions of thoughts come into our minds everyday. It is received by conscious and subconscious minds. I recently had a thought about the thoughts coming to us daily and I realized the importance of them. Thoughts are like pictures running in our minds and they are moving just like a dream. Sometimes they can actually precede an event and we are amazed.

Most of us have had a thought about someone dear being in trouble and it has become true. So the question is what is a thought? Thoughts are related to the process of thinking and hence are complex and no definition is available which can actually explain it fully. Everyone has a different definition for it. But what is it actually? Well thought may be referred to as some emotion or memory manifesting itself in your mind. It can be about a person who is not alive or about some place you yearn to visit. It can also be about someone sitting next to you or a bout a problem that has been nagging you for a long time. Thoughts can affect your body and surroundings positively or negatively. An aggressive thought can lead to a duel or fight and an empathetic one can lead to reduction of someone in distress. So think carefully, and never think that you cannot control your thoughts. You can surely think positive! Our personalities are indeed a product of our thoughts.

A thought about Coffee and Me

Coffee has been the drink when I am lost in my thought. So I decided to share some thought on it. But how do I make it? I own a coffee machine but use it only when guests arrive. Turkish coffee-making style is my way of preparing coffee. The method involves grounding the coffee beans to fine powder. Normal grinders do not make a powder that is fine enough. Traditional stone pounders are used for the purpose. Freshly roasted beans are the best for Turkish coffee. The finely ground powder is dissolved in a Turkish coffee maker which is a copper vessel from outside and steel or tin from inside.  This traditional method of making coffee is slow but what comes out of it is marvelous. Coffee tastes best while making the Turkish way.

The Copper Turkish coffee maker looks very royal but it is the taste that  is the clincher. The powder dissolves in the water/milk as you put the copper ware on the stove. Try your hand today at making this exquisite coffee. You can order the Turkish coffee maker  here at unbelievable price!

Washing with regular detergent dishwasher can lead to discoloring of copper. The natural reaction with water does this. Hence extra care needs to be taken to retain the shine. Clean with a lime and salt mixture to remove coffee stains and keep it shining.

Yes struggling to find book titles is over for me. Recently my brother gifted me a new Kindle paper white. Initially I was skeptical whether it will replace the good old paperback. But I was wrong. Now i can check for titles when on the go on the browser. I do not have to go the book store for buying the latest release etc. There are many benefits of reading on this revolutionary gadget.Three benefits of reading a book on a Kindle device are :

Where have all my old friends gone – my books I mean.

Fancied reading the other day so had a look all over the house to see what caught my fancy. Not a lot!! Got to thinking what was the last book I had read and when. Then I realised it was when I was not well at Christmas and I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which for those of you who don’t know this is an excellent Swedish thriller, that is also a TV series.  The Millenium series came to halt at Steig Larssens untimely death in 2004 at 50years old  but now  another writer is undertaking to write more in the series -should be interesting.

Books, I remember having them everywhere, lounge, bedroom, hallways that does not seem to be the case any more. I don’t seem to collect them as I use to and there is only one thing to blame that on…The Kindle. That wonderful machine that has cut down on my purchase of books to the point of non existance.

 

 

The Kindle

 

I always spent many a happy hour at the airport rummaging among all the books stores for new releases, now I just sit in a chair with my coffee and browse my kindle – I even have the reading app on my tablet.  My problem with the kindle is exactly the same as when I bought books – I spend hours and hours browsing although now I do it from the comfort of my seat. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy it and certainly all the free books that are available but just occasionally I want to hold a book, a new fresh smelling booky book. I want to feel the weight and turn the pages and own it, do you know what I mean or am i just crazy?  I will never give the Kindle up but now and again I wish for my old friend the book to be in my hands.

I finally realised I had the two other books from the Millenium Trilogy to read ..where…on my kindle of couse!!

The new Terminator is coming

The latest in the Terminator series Terminator –Genisys, is about a new version of events unfolding. Paramount Pictures have reserved a site for trailer launch at the Superbowl for the movie trailer.

Terminator is back

 

Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a double role in the upcoming movie. Alan Taylor who has directed Thor: The dark World and Game of Thrones is at the helm. An older Arnold plays the protector of Sarah Connors, as in the original movie released back in 1984. But the similarity ends there.  John Connor sends his lieutenant Kyle Reese back in time, but Sarah Connor’s character has changed completely. She already has an older Arnold as her protector.

There are many questions raised. What is Kyle Reese’ role? How will they face a combined unit of Terminators sent back to eliminate Sarah? The film promises lots of action as is the tradition with Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. Even at this age he looks deadly in his dual role.

The reboot of the original has Arnold in focus again. The new poster of the movie has Arnold in his famous half human half machine look with the shotgun. The role of Sarah Connor has been reprised by Emilia Clarke who got acclaims for her role as Targaryen princess in Game of Thrones. There is a package of flying bus, T-1000 walking through flames and a new villain as well.

The trailer promises a lot, but the story will need to be sharp. The original Terminator was a new concept and the latest version will have more expectations. The earlier two versions failed on the expectation level and were not quite a success.

However, it is something for Schwarzenegger fans. The film is set to release on July 1 and is sure to attract initial crowds. The rest lies on how it fares on the expectations of the audience.

Dreaming!!!!!

I woke up this morning startled. My boyfriend woke up and asked ” What happened”. It was just another dream. Sometimes dreams really scare you. So I started wondering about dreams. What is the reason behind having a dream.

I went ahead and read many books. Even the famous ” Interpretation of dreams” by Freud. I learnt that our eyes move rapidly in sleep referred to as REM (Rapid Eye Movement). The mind works even when we are asleep. It puts together a scene or a story and plays it.Dreams happen about half an hour from the moment you fall asleep.Muscles are completely relaxed but the mind is very active in dreams. It is just like watching a movie, and it is in full colors.

The Best Quote on Dreams

The most common dreams are about falling, being dead, flying and snake bites. Even dreams have categories :

• Day Dreams – The rarest kind of dream is when it happens during the day.
• Nightmares – These are spooky and can startle you as it did to me today morning.
• Recurring Dreams – It is a signal of some kind of symbolic reference to something happening regularly in our lives.
• Lucid Dreams – These are the longest ones. If you have heard a story that has a deep effect on your mind you will see the full story in your dreams. Yes you will be enacting the main character. This is very beneficial and you hardly remember the events.
• Dreams on God – It triggers many decisions in life by atheists. Many instances have ben found that a person was forewarned of danger or winning a lottery by god.

To top it all, dreams are a part of our existence. It gives us a movie experience without spending money. And , Yes every dream is unique story!!!!
