 IPL 2014 begins with a grand opening ceremony

The seventh season of Pepsi Indian Premier League was flagged off in Abu Dhabi with an opening event rich in cricketing pedigree as well as a generous dose of fun and frolic.

It began with a welcome note by H.E. Sheikh Nahayan Mubarak Al Nahayan, Minister of Culture, Youth & Community Development, in which he spoke of the UAE’s determination as a nation to move forward in the sporting field.

Then it was time for host, Ravi Shastri to invite the eight IPL captains to vow their allegiance to maintain the integrity of cricket by signing the MCC Spirit of Cricket plaque.

Staying with the subject of cricket’s pride, Sunil Gavaskar, interim President, BCCI-IPL, delivered a passionate speech about how he and his colleagues at the BCCI intend to take every possible measure to eradicate the very shadow of corruption from the sport. Mr. Gavaskar appealed cricket fans all over the world to maintain their faith in cricket and believe in its sanctity.

After the serious business, it was time for some entertainment. There was a light and sound show, which depicted traditions and cultures of the UAE and India and merged them together to bring out a seamless bond between the two nations.

Then it was the time for some Bollywood style masti as the gorgeous Indian actress, Deepika Padukone sizzled the stage with a sassy number that mesmerized the audience.

The last but by no means the least individual to take the stage was Shah Rukh Khan. The popular actor and the coowner of the Kolkata Knight Riders had the audience in splits with a sense of humour appealing the masses. He invited cricketers on the stage Shane Watson played the guitar and sang a song, Virat Kohli had banter with Khan and MS Dhoni regaled his fans with his boyish charm.

The glorious evening came to a glorious end with the most brilliant and beautiful fireworks.

God's pharmacy is Amazing

Carrots:

Carrots are often thought of as the ultimate health food. You were probably told to "eat your carrots" by your parents and you probably tell your kids the same thing, and when asked why, you explain, "Because they're good for you!"

But how did the carrot get such a good reputation and why exactly are the root vegetables so good for our health?

It is believed that the carrot was first cultivated in the area now known as Afghanistan thousands of years ago as a small forked purple or yellow root with a woody and bitter flavor, resembling nothing of the carrot we know today.

Purple, red, yellow and white carrots were cultivated long before the appearance of the now popular orange carrot, which was developed and stabilized by Dutch growers in the 16th and 17th centuries.

A 1-cup serving of chopped carrots contains 3.6 grams of dietary fiber, which is a good start toward getting the 21 to 25 grams women should aim for each day and the 30 to 38 grams men should consume on a daily.

Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, providing 210% of the average adult's needs for the day. They also provide 6% of vitamin C needs, 2% of calcium needs and 2% of iron needs per serving.It is the antioxidant beta-carotene that gives carrots their bright orange color. Beta-carotene is absorbed in the intestine and converted into vitamin A during digestion.Carrots also contain fiber, vitamin K, potassium, folate, manganese, phosphorous, magnesium, vitamin E and zinc.

An overwhelming body of evidence exists suggesting that increased intake of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables reduce cancer and cardiovascular disease risks, carrots included.

Cancer: A variety of dietary carotenoids have been shown to have anti-cancer effects due to their antioxidant power in reducing free radicals in the body.
Lung Cancer: One study found that current smokers who did not consume carrots had three times the risk of developing lung cancer compared with those who ate carrots more than once a week.
Colorectal Cancer: Beta-carotene consumption has been shown to have an inverse association with the development of colon cancer in the Japanese population.
Leukemia: Carrot juice extract was shown to kill leukemia cells and inhibit their progression in a 2011 study.
Prostate Cancer: Among younger men, diets rich in beta-carotene may play a protective role against prostate cancer, according to a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health's Department of Nutrition.
Vision: According to Duke ophthalmologist Jill Koury, MD, vitamin A deficiency causes the outer segments of the eye's photoreceptors to deteriorate, damaging normal vision. Correcting vitamin A deficiencies with foods high in beta-carotene will restore vision.

Tomato:

Whether you refer to a tomato as a fruit or a vegetable, there is no doubt that a tomato is a nutrient-dense, super-food that most people should be eating more.

The tomato has been referred to as a "functional food," a food that goes beyond providing just basic nutrition, additionally preventing chronic disease and delivering other health benefits, due to beneficial phytochemicals such as lycopene.

Despite the popularity of the tomato, only 200 years ago it was thought to be poisonous in the U.S., likely because the plant belongs to the nightshade family, of which some species are truly poisonous.

One medium tomato provides 22 calories, 0 grams of fat, 5 grams of carbohydrate (including 1 gram of fiber and 3 grams of sugar) and 1 gram of protein. Tomatoes are a rich source of vitamins A and C and folic acid. Tomatoes contain a wide array of beneficial nutrients and antioxidants, including alpha-lipoic acid, lycopene, choline, folic acid, beta-carotene and lutein.

The benefits of consuming fruits and vegetables of all kinds, including tomatoes, are infinite. As plant food consumption goes up, the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer goes down. High fruit and vegetable intake is also associated with healthy skin and hair, increased energy and lower weight. Increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables significantly decreases the risk of obesity and overall mortality.

Cancer: As an excellent source of the strong antioxidant vitamin C and other antioxidants, tomatoes can help combat the formation of free radicals known to cause cancer.

Prostate Cancer: Lycopene has been linked with prostate cancer prevention in several studies.According to John Erdman, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of the department of food science and human nutrition at the University of Illinois, "There's very good, strong, epidemiological support for increased consumption of tomato products and lower incidence of prostate cancer."Among younger men, diets rich in beta-carotene may play a protective role against prostate cancer, according to a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health's Department of Nutrition.

Colorectal Cancer: Beta-carotene consumption has been shown to have an inverse association with the development of colon cancer in the Japanese population. High fiber intakes from fruits and vegetables are associated with a lowered risk of colorectal cancer.

• Tomatoes work against impotency and help increase the sperm count.
• Tomatoes are powerful blood purifiers and clear up urinary tract infections.
• They have anti oxidant properties as they are high sources of vitamin C and vitamin A. The Vitamin A especially wards off macular degeneration and improves eyesight.
• A person who drinks 8 ounces of low sodium tomato juice a day, can prevent inflammatory diseases like osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s. High in fiber they are freely used by weight watchers.
• They are good for improving skin porosity and are widely used in the manufacture of skin care and beauty products.

Heart health: The fiber, potassium, vitamin C and choline content in tomatoes all support heart health. An increase in potassium intake along with a decrease in sodium intake is the most important dietary change that a person can make to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease

Pregnancy: Adequate folic acid intake is essential for pregnant women to protect against neural tube defects in infants.

Diabetes: Studies have shown that type 1 diabetics who consume high-fiber diets have lower blood glucose levels and type 2 diabetics may have improved blood sugar, lipids and insulin levels. One cup of cherry tomatoes provides about 2 grams of fiber.

Walnuts:

Walnuts are high in protein, vitamins, omega 3 fatty acids, trace minerals, lecithin and oils. Compared with other nuts, which typically contain a high amount of monounsaturated fats, walnuts are unique because the fats in them are primarily polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and are the only nut with a significant amount of alpha-linolenic acid. Moreover, walnuts have insignificant amounts of sodium and are cholesterol free.

Walnuts as Brain Food: Walnuts have potential health benefits in the area of memory and cognitive function as well. Low omega 3 intake has been linked to depression and decline in cognitive function. And taking into consideration that walnut is a rich source of ALA (omega 3), it no doubt promotes brain health. Studies however show that only moderate amount of walnut (2 or 6 percent of a healthy diet) can improve motor and behavioral skills in older adults and higher amounts, say 9 percent, impaired reference memory.


Walnuts for Hair - Walnut is a good ‘hair food’ too. This is because walnut contains biotin (vitamin B7) that helps strengthen hair, reduce hair fall and improve hair growth to certain extent.

Balakrishna files nomination from Hindupur MLA seat

Balakrishna is the actor son of former chief minister N.T. Rama Rao (NTR). Hindupur in Rayalaseema region has always voted for NTR and the TDP ever since its inception in 1982. NTR was elected in 1985, 1989 and 1994. His elder son Harikrishna, also an actor and a senior member of TDP's politburo, was elected in the 1996 by-polls.

It is widely believed that Naidu delayed giving the seat to Balakrishna is because he does not want to create a parallel power centre in the party. If Balakrishna (popularly known as Balayya) wins, he could challenge Naidu's power. Many in the TDP, too, prefer Balakrishna at the helm as they feel Naidu has failed to revive the TDP fortunes.

Though the actor has been campaigning for the party for several years, he had not taken the electoral plunge till now. Balakrishna's daughter Brahmani is married to Naidu's son Lokesh and so family ties are also strong.

Andhra Pradesh politics opened up to cine glamour ever since NTR formed the TDP on the plank of Telugu atma gauravam (self-respect) and stormed to power within nine months of floating the party. He was dethroned by Naidu, his younger son-in-law, in a midnight political coup in August 1995.
Seemandhra, comprising Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra regions, is going to polls on May 7. Balakrishna file his nomination papers today at 11.31am.
