Grind six-gram fenugreek seeds coarsely and soak in 250 gm water. Crush it nicely in the morning, sieve it with a cloth, and drink it. Follow this remedy for two months regularly in order to overcome diabetes completely. Those who suffer from excess heat due to fenugreek, and ulcer patients, should take fenugreek with aniseeds. Mix a spoonful of aniseed and two spoonfuls fenugreek seeds and soak them in a ceramic bowl in 200 ml water. Sieve with a cloth in the morning.
Chop four leaves of black plum and grind. Sieve the juice in eight grams water and drink regularly for ten days. Take it every two months for ten days. This juice is very beneficial in case of sugar passing out through urine. Chew four leaves of black plum twice daily in the beginning stages of diabetes to give relief from the third day itself.

Dry the black plum seeds in the shade and prepare a powder. Take three grams twice daily with fresh water to overcome diabetes. Continue this medicine for 21 days regularly.

The Medicinal Qualities and Benefits of Common Grass.

by admin

Introduction:
Conch grass or common green grass is the biggest gift of nature to man. The green grassy fields are very enchanting to look at. Cows graze on this grass and give us milk. Our children drink this sweet milk and become healthy.
The dewdrops lying on the green grass are a very enthralling sight. The green carpet of grass and its natural beauty gives a lot of pleasure to the eyes. People enjoy walking with bare feet on this grass. It also improves eyesight and calms down various disorders of the body. Conch grass grows throughout the year. Actually this grass is also found in blue and white colours in some places. White grass is not a different vegetation.

External appearance:
The stem of the grass is very thin; the grass spreads very fast on all sides. The grass creeps on the ground, the root comes out from every leaf and goes into the ground. The grass moves forward and keeps on planting its root behind just like a charioteer who fixes the position of his army behind and moves ahead in the battleground. The leaves are around one to four inches long and half inch wide, soft in the beginning and smooth. The flowers are green and bluish in colour. The fruits are small like seeds.

How Many Calories Are In Your Morning Coffee?

How Many Calories Are In Your Morning Coffee?
and Is your morning caffeine fix making you fat?

Your daily coffee stop is probably not helping your diet. A lot of us stop by our local Starbucks on the way to work for a cup of coffee. While coffee itself barely has any calories, everything we add to it can pack on the unnecessary calories.

If the morning lines at every Dunkin’ Donuts are telling us anything, a lot of people are masking the coffee taste with flavors and syrups, replacing coffee with calories as their daily caffeine intake. Did you know that a frappuccino can have up to 680 calories!?  That’s over a third of your daily calorie intake; I won’t be ordering any mint chocolatey chip frappuccinos any time soon!
The ever-popular pumpkin spice latte, available seasonally, has 410 calories in it. If you are craving this fall treat, at least hold the whipped cream, and lower the calorie count to 340.  If Dunkin Donuts is your morning stop, a small coffee with cream and sugar will only set you back 120 calories, but that’s still 120 calories for a drink that won’t even fill you up.
