Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical
transformations within the cells of living organisms. These enzyme-catalyzed
reactions allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and
respond to their environments. Metabolism can also refer to all chemical
reactions that occur in living organisms, including digestion and the transport
of substances into and between different cells, in which case the set of
reactions within the cells is called intermediary metabolism or intermediate
metabolism.

Quit Smoking, Tobacco & Gutkha Chewing

Who
is this Nicotine?
Nicotine
is a chemical present in tobacco leaves. When you smoke/chew tobacco, nicotine
enters the blood and goes to the brain. It activates the part of your brain
which produces feelings of pleasure and happiness. After sometime as the
nicotine levels falls, the feel good effect reduces and your body starts
craving for the next cigarette/tobacco.
Insomnia
Sleep
is nature’s greatest blessing of life which repairs the wear and tear of the
body and mind. Most of the women sleep 45-60 minutes more than men. The amount
of sleep required varies at different ages as mentioned below;
New born 18-20 hours
Growing children 10-12 hours
Adults 7-9 hours
Aged persons 5-7 hours
For
good sleep, one should not sleep on one’s back but on the side with both legs
brought well up and the head and the shoulder slightly forward, in a well-ventilated
and hygienic room.
Depression
Depression,
mental tension, insomnia and indigestion are the biggest enemies affecting the
beauty of a human body. Depression is the most prevalent of all emotional
disorders. An unpleasant experience a person has to endure due to the growing
complexities of modern life and the resulting crisis, mental stress and strain
in day to day living usually leads to this disorder.
