Reasons To Add Kairi To Your Summer Diet April 4, 2018 Kachchi kairi, or raw mango, is etched in all of our summer memories, as strongly as are the scorching winds, the uncomfortable heat and the relentless Sun. One of the perks of living in a tropical country like India is the opportunity to indulge in yummy thirst quenchers prepared from summer favourites, of which raw mango has the widest appeal. Kairi ka panna or a drink made from green (raw) mangoes is made across the country at the advent of summers, and stored in glass jars to be served to guests and family throughout the day.Nothing spells relief quite like the sensation of sipping on cool khatta-meetha kairi ka panna that has been spiced with black salt, cumin powder and ginger powder. Street vendors selling pieces of kachcha aam also start cropping up here and there, offering passers by a temporary respite from the sweltering heat. We all love to munch on raw mango and drink its juice because it’s simply delicious, and it tastes of nostalgia. But, there’s a reason our mothers always keep a stock in the fridge and feed us kairi pickle during the summers – they are very healthy. Here are some amazing raw mango health benefits: 1. Protects From Intense Heat And Dehydration Drinking juice of raw mango during summers is more than a mere exercise in palate pleasing. The drink reduces the effects of intense heat and prevents dehydration, by stopping excessive loss of sodium chloride and iron from the body. These minerals often tend to leach out into your sweat, during summers, making you dehydrated. 2. Cures Stomach Troubles Raw mango is also consumed for its action against gastrointestinal disorders, which tend to go up during the summers. Raw mangoes are often prescribed to people with morning sickness, constipation, diarrhoea, chronic dyspepsia and indigestion. 3. Good For The Heart The presence of niacin makes raw mangoes heart-healthy fruits. Niacin reduces risks of cardiovascular ailments and improves blood cholesterol levels. 4. Treats Scurvy Raw mango powder, or amchur, is believed to be an effective treatment for scurvy, which is often characterised by bleeding gums, rashes, bruising, weakness and fatigue. This is because raw mango is extremely rich in vitamin-C, the deficiency of which causes scurvy. The same vitamin also promotes elasticity in blood vessels and promotes formation of red blood cells. 5. Promotes Health Of Liver And Intestine Raw mangoes are great for the liver, and are believed to treat liver ailments. Chewing on raw mango pieces initiates bile secretion into the small intestine, where it increases the absorption of fats and also kills harmful microbes present in food. 6. Gives An Energy Boost Having a little bit of raw mango powder cures the afternoon drowsiness that often takes effect after your meals. This is because raw mango gives your body an energy boost that wakes you up and helps you perform well. Nature has fortified raw mango with a number of vitamins and minerals, which make it an effective antidote for a lot of summer ailments. Not that we needed any more reasons to consume raw mango chutneys, pickles and drinks, but these health benefits are certainly encouraging,

Acne is an inflammatory skin disorder ofthe skin’s sebaceous glands and hair folliclesthat affects about 80% of people between the ages of 12 and 24. During puberty high levels of hormones are produced in both girls and boys. This leads to the production of large quantities of sebum. Sebum is an irritantthat can clog the pores and form a pimple which may become infected and form a pustule. Hormones don’t go away after adolescence. Many women still get premenstrual acne from of the release of progesterone after ovulation. Acne is a disease that affects the skin’s oil glands. The small holes in your skin (pores) connect to the oil glands under the skin. These glands make an oily substance called sebum. The pores connect to the glands by a canal called a follicle. Inside the follicles, oil carries dead skin cells to the surface of the skin. A thin hair also grows through the follicle and out to the skin. When the follicle of a skin gland clogs up, a pimple grows. Most pimples are found on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. Acne is not a serious health threat but it can cause scars. *Causes of Acne The exact cause of acne is unknown, several related factors are :* Hormonal activity supposed to be responsible, such as menstrual cycles andpuberty. *Increase in hormones called androgens (male sex hormones), which causes sebaceous glands to enlarge and make more sebum. *Hormonal changes related to pregnancy can also cause acne. § Another factor is heredity or genetics. Researchers believe that the tendency to develop acne can be inherited from parents. For example, studies have shownthat many school-age boys with acne have a family history of the disorder .§ Accumulation of dead skin cell. § Bacteria in the pores, to which body becomes allergic. § Skin irritation or scratching of any sortwill active the inflammation. § Starting or stopping birth control pills. § Heredity (if your parents had acne, you might get it too). § Some types of medicine. § Greasy makeup.In some patients, contributing factors may be:Pressure: In some patients, pressure from helmets, chinstraps, collars, and thelike can aggravate acne.Drugs: Some medications may cause or worsen acne, such as those containing iodides, bromides, or oral or injected steroids (either the medically prescribedprednisone or the steroids bodybuilders or athletes take.)
