The star divulged with Variety that for the role, he had to learn how to shoot a musket, build a fire, speak two Native American languages (Pawnee and Arikara), and study with a doctor who specializes in ancient healing techniques.

The full-on immersion might have made the part the hardest in his career, but it taught him to appreciate Indigenous communities and the melding of cultures around the world.

Baby Gas relief tips

Gassy Tummy in Infants & Its Relief

Nurses in several hospitals apply the “I love you” massage – with two or three fingers press mildly the area around the baby’s abdomen, then write the letters “I”, “L” and “U”.

They do not know how to express themselves or they do not know how to control it ! We are talking about babies and baby gas problem here. Remember every baby is a gassy baby because babies eat around the clock, their bowel move, digestion keeps happening and there is production of gas. Do not forget most babies are fed mother’s milk. Mothers food intake and certain gas causing vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, beans, and onions will have effect on baby. This is another reason for many babies to go through gas cycles.

Unlike adults when babies release gas, it is not an embarrassment for anybody. It is more natural because babies are still learning how to use their bowel and muscle to push poop. The infant has not yet learned to process the food, gas and stool properly. The intestines of infants take time to develop and adopt. Moreover, intestine is yet to create their own micro flora – a group of microorganisms, which are unique for every person’s guts. The micro flora is necessary for digestion process and the immune system. According to pediatric association, babies hardly feel discomfort because of gas. In case, the baby becomes fussy and she or he putting up legs and crying then it may be because of the uneasiness of some gas that refuses to pass. When there is extra gas and discomfort is happening then babies will show following symptoms:

  • Often burps
  • Gets fussy and cranky
  • Bloated tummy
  • Has cramps
  • Cries
  • Farts
  • Has a hard tummy
  • Putting legs up and clenching fists and squirming

Infants have plenty of opportunities to swallow air, like when they: Feed from a breast or bottle, Suck a pacifier, Cry.

To release gas from babies try these techniques:

1) Place baby flat with belly on the floor: Gravity helps trapped gas to surface out more quickly.

2) Gently massage the belly in clockwise: Nurses in several hospitals apply the “I love you” massage – with two or three fingers press mildly the area around the baby’s abdomen, then write the letters “I”, “L” and “U”. Repeat this several times until the excessive gas is released.

3) Place baby on the back on the floor and move her /his leg and hand like riding bicycle -be gentle.

4) Give a warm bath. Warm water helps the belly to relieve the gas related pain.

5) Bring on the burps – put baby on your shoulder and slowly massage back of baby. This brings burps and releases gas.

6) Bottle fed babies can ingest lot of air through bubble form – Tilt the bottle to an angle so that nipple will hold milk all the time till the baby finishes the food. Use a slower – flow nipple on the bottle.

7) Feed baby before baby gets too hungry. Empty stomach causes gas problem too. Make sure to feed baby in upright position to help easy movement of food in the system.

8) Watch what you feed – Some foods have ingredients that can cause gas. Example – sorbitol in fruit juice or added sugar in juices. Similarly, babies if fed with lactose then, it is source of gas.

9) Rock and bounce the baby very gently – this increases bowel movement.

10) Food sensitivity is another factor. Some babies turn out to be intolerant or allergic to some ingredients in breast milk or formula.

11) One can give few drops of Gripe water to baby to relieve colic symptom. Gripe water is a product sold to relieve colic and other gastrointestinal ailments and discomforts of infants.

12) Pediatric probiotic: Adding infant probiotic in the babies menu also helps to ease the gas and pain.

13) Drinking water: Each day give required amount of water to baby. This will help to reduce constipation and improves muscle movement.

Exceptions: If you see no bowel movement, blood in stool, extremely cranky/ fussy baby, high temperatures then contact the pediatrician immediately to undergo full checkup. If there is any blockage in the intestine or any infection, doctors can test it.

Remember- otherwise the infant gas is normal and is treatable and it is very common!

People change their shoes and slippers often and some people really enjoy wearing different foot ware every day. Most of us wants to feel a clean and healthy feet. However, there are people who are not at all concerned about the way that their foot looks or how much healthy it is.

Maintaining feet is important not only because of appearance, but also for good health reasons. Here are some foot health care tips.

If possible and affordable change your socks daily to keep your feet fresh.

2) Scrub: Everyday make sure to give a good scrub for the feet. Scrubbing gives a soft, smooth feeling for the heels and dry areas of feet. Use facial or foot scrub for scrubbing. Best is pumice stone, which also manages massaging of the rough surface.

3) Breathing the feet: It is important to aerate the feet. Once you are home, remove the footwear and socks. Wearing the sweat socks and dirty footwear for longer hours can result in athlete feet and fungal infection. Make it a habit to wash your legs and feet. If you have a habit of wearing slipper inside house -wear cotton socks or slippers. Apply moisturizer and then wear socks. The best way to aerate legs is keeping it barefoot once you are in home.

4) Soak your feet:

A. Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar has many medicinal properties and keeping one can of vinegar is at home all the time is a best idea! Apple cider vinegar helps to remove the bacteria from the surfaces. Applying this, on foot and between toes removes that odor causing bacteria. Because of the acidic nature, it also controls sweat build up in feet. For half filled bucket add one cup of Apple cider vinegar and soak feet for half an hour. Repeat this two or three times a week to get rid of that odor.

B. Epsom Salt: If your foot is dry then avoid using Epsom salt. Otherwise, soak foot in epsom salt. It has Magnesium sulfate which neutralizes foot odor. Epsom salt reduces inflammation and reduced pain. Whenever you feel pain in foot, add a cup of Epsom salt to a bucket of water and soak foot in this water for half an hour.

C. Baking Soda and Tea Tree Oil : Research says that tea tree oil has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Baking soda which is a good cleaning agent (like for refrigerator) when mixed with tea tree oil has wonderful effect. Both together will act as powerful antibiotic, antiseptic agents. Also, this mix reduces inflammation. Mix baking soda and tea tree oil (1:1) and add about 1.5 tbs to a bucket or basin filled with warm water. Dissolve the mix and soak feet half an hour.

D. Potassium Permanganate: Potassium permanganate is a well-known chemical that effectively in use for killing fungi and bacteria. Add a tablespoon of potassium permanganate to 3 gallons of water. Soak feet for about 30 minutes. The longer you soak your feet, you may see change in color of toe and feet to brown. This is just color of Potassium permanganate and nothing to worry.

Additional tips for foot care

1) Moisturizing the feet: During winter and dry months, it is important to moisturize the feet and legs few times a day. Apply basic cream or lotions or any branded creams like Nevea, Aloe-vera based cream, Neutrogena moisturize several times a day. Make sure you are not allergic to any of lotions or cream.

Seed Patenting is banned in Venezuvela!

Seed Patenting is banned in Venezuvela!

The country recently approved a law that will ban the production, distribution, and importation of GM seeds.

To protect heirloom seeds and organic farmers, the country of Venezuela, through its National Assembly, recently approved a law that will ban the production, distribution, and importation of GM seeds.

According to the recently approved draft Seed Law, the state shall promote sustainable agriculture as the strategic basis for food security.

The victory is being celebrated across the world, with anti-GMO proponents viewing this as just one more sign activist efforts’ are working.

GM Watch reports that the law has taken years of collective grassroots effort to construct and has been through a public consultation.

The new law proposes the creation of a national seed institution, which will audit and control the seed supply in order to prevent, identify, and punish violators of the GMO ban. In addition, the institution will protect peasant seed, which has been part of the peoples’ culture for generations, and which is the product of natural cross-breeding.

Way to go, Venezuela!

Thankfully, the nation isn’t alone in its efforts to overcome the biotech industry. Earlier this month, President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia will become the world’s leading exporter of non-GMO foods. Big shifts are happening, to say the least.

Top Home Remedies for Acid Reflux/Acidity

Top Home Remedies for Acid Reflux/Acidity

Acid reflux is when stomach acid splashes up from the stomach into the esophagus. Whereas, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is severe or chronic acid reflux that can lead to complications, such as cancer. At the entrance to human stomach is a valve, which is a ring of muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Normally, the LES closes as soon as food passes through it. If the LES does not close all the way or if it opens too often, acid produced by your stomach can move up into your esophagus. This can cause symptoms such as a burning chest pain called heartburn. If acid reflux symptoms happens often, contact your doctor to confirm it is acid reflux what you have.

Acidity is a term used for a set of symptoms caused by excess production of acid by the gastric glands of the stomach. The stomach normally secretes hydrochloric acid which is required for the breakdown and digestion of food we eat. Acidity causes symptoms like dyspepsia, heartburn, gastric inflammation and ulcers in the stomach.

Causes:

One common cause of acid reflux disease is a stomach abnormality called a hiatal hernia. This occurs when the upper part of the stomach and LES move above the diaphragm, a muscle that separates stomach from the chest. Normally, the diaphragm helps keep acid in our stomach. However, if we have a hiatal hernia, acid can move up into your esophagus and cause symptoms of acid reflux disease.

Acidity is generally a consequence of several external factors like eating habits, fad diets, stress, smoking and alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity, irregularity in eating pattern. The incidence of acidity is higher in countries where individuals eat more of non-vegetarian, oily and spicy foods.

Reasons for acidity or acid reflux:

  • Eating large meals or lying down right after a meal. Eating a heavy meal and lying on your back or bending over at the waist.
  • Being overweight or obsessed and over eating.
  • Snacking close to bedtime -eating spicy chips, chips, popcorn, salty foods etc.
  • Constantly munching on certain foods- such as citrus, tomato, chocolate, mint, garlic, onions, or spicy or fatty foods.
  • Drinking certain beverages- such as alcohol, carbonated drinks, coffee, or tea.
  • Smoking habit and drinking alcohol.
  • Taking aspirin, ibuprofen, muscle relaxers, or blood pressure medications.
  • The onset of menopause.
  • Extreme stress.
  • A history of colitis or ulcers.
  • Constipation and less bowl movement.

Symptoms:

  • Burning in the stomach
  • Burning in the throat
  • Restlessness
  • Belching
  • Nausea
  • Sour taste
  • Indigestion
  • Constipation

Here are Top Home Remedies for acidity that actually work;

1. Eat and drink slowly. Do not gulp in large amounts of water at once.

2. Boil ginger in water and add honey to the strained liquid and drink to reduce acid and gas formation in stomach.

3. Chewing ginger soaked in lime juice also prevents burps.

4. Buttermilk mixed with fenugreek powder and ginger helps remove gas.

5. Boil few cloves of garlic with cumin seeds in water and add milk and sugar to it.

6. Add cardamom or citrus peels or cloves to tea and boil for 10 minutes before drinking it.

7. Eating papaya regularly prevents gases to form in the stomach.

8. Mix baking soda and lemon juice in water and drink to avoid burps.

9. Soak peppermint leaves in water and drink the mixture. Mint has calming effect on stomach lining.

10. Crush garlic and ginger and add it to milk before consuming it.

11. Do not drink carbonated drinks and avoid using straws for any drinks.

12. Quit smoking – smoking causes acidity and increases ulcer.

13. Avoid those foods that create gas – like cabbage, broccoli, besan powder etc.

14. Drink cold milk: Milk has a high amount of calcium that helps it prevent acid build up and absorbs the excess acid produced, thereby reducing the symptoms of acidity.

15. Cumin seeds: According to Ayurvedic doctors chewing cumin seeds (jeera) has a calming effect on irritated stomach nerves and helps heal ulcers.

16. Cloves: Bite one clove- the pungent taste in the mouth secretes excess saliva, which in turn aids digestion and beats the symptoms of acidity.

17. Indian gooseberry or Amla: Apart from high content of vitamin C, amla is also kapha and pitta pacifier. Consuming raw or dry powder of amlas helps in healing the injured stomach lining and oesophagus.

18. Centella leaves: Indian centella (Hydrocotyl javanica) or Indian pennywort leaves (3-4) can be chewed every morning or if you are familiar with preparing yogurt dishes or chutney using these leaves – then it also helps to reduce acidity.

19. Holy Tulsi: Tulsi leaves known to induce mucous in the stomach and has antiulcer properties. Drink Tulsi and ginger tea once or twice a day to reduce acidity.

20. Eat banana: Banana is rich source of potassium and helps to keep the acid production under control. It also helps in easy digestion and reduces constipation, which is one of the reason for acidity and acid reflux.

21. Yoga: Four yoga poses helps to overcome acid reflux. Bridge pose, plough pose, diamond pose and reclined bound angle pose -all these four poses are highly recommended to overcome acid reflux symptoms.
