Gone are the days when mobiles were a luxury. In today’s fast paced world, they have become a household commodity. They have made our lives so comfortable that we easily overlook the danger these phones or their towers pose to us and all living beings. These transmission towers are being erected in every nook and corner of the country. With more and more competition amongst the telecommunication players, more and more damage is being done without us being aware of it.

These towers emit Invisible Electro Magnetic Radiations (EMR) which can prove fatal for our health. The major health problems which are related to over exposure to EMR are:

• Abnormal cell growth promotion
• DNA damage
• Reduced immune system competence
• Sleeplessness, irritability, anxiety, depression
• Weakened blood-brain barrier
• Childhood and adult leukemia
• Eye cancer
• Infertility and miscarriage
• Attention span deficit and general memory loss
• Sleep disturbance and chronic fatigue
• Brain tumors
• Cardiac problems

It is very dangerous for pregnant ladies and their unborn babies. Sperm count in men is known to decrease by constant exposure to these radiations. Recent studies done in Europe show that tumors can be induced in rats, which were exposed to the same power levels and distances that normal cell phone users are exposed to from the phone’s antenna. These towers are a deathbed not only for human beings but also for birds. They also avoid these towers.

The tragedy is more and more towers are being installed in close proximity around us. This is subjecting us to more and more radiations every day. I had even read about some ignorant people leasing out their terraces to telecommunication companies in allurement of a lot of money. They don’t realize that ultimately the money they are earning through this would be wasted in treating their own selves against the radiations being emitted from right on top of them.

The telecom companies continue to install towers, which have a radiation power level of 7260 microwatt/m2, despite the specified level being just 600 microwatt/m2. None of the mobile companies follows the standards fixed by the international commission of non-iodized radiation.

Over exposure to these radiations can cause us our lives and it’s time we bring about this awareness in everyone around us.

Tea Estate - Green Tea

“Better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea for one”- reads an ancient Chinese proverb.

A cup of Green Tea can do a magic for your body. It gives lots of benefit for our health. Green tea is used since ancient time. Ancient Chinese people are aware of the benefits of green tea for health and have always used it for medical purposes. Produced from the leaves of Camellia Sinensis by some special processes, it was used especially against the headaches and depression. But there are many other benefits also. Green tea has a special importance in China medical history.

A few of the benefits are listed here:

1. Cancer Treatment: Green tea is used for treating the deadly disease cancer.  It helps cancer patients in prevention of cancer by reducing cancerous growth. It reduces the risk of esophageal cancer also. Besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue.

2. Reduce Heart Risks: It helps in reduction of heart diseases and heart attacks by reducing the risk of thrombosis. It inhibits the abnormal formation of blood clots.

3. Treat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases: It is also used to stop Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

4. Treat Sclerosis: It is used to treat multiple sclerosis.

5. Increases Metabolism: Green tea raises body metabolism and increases fat oxidation.

6. Treats Immune System: It is used to treat impaired immune function. .

7. Reduce Cholesterol: Green tea inhibits the growth of certain cancer cells and reduces the level of cholesterol in blood. It improves the ratio of good cholesterol (HDL) to bad cholesterol (LDL). Thus it helps in reduction of cardiovascular problems.

8. Prevent Tooth Decay: Drinking green tea keeps the teeth healthy. It may help prevent tooth decay by killing the bacteria which causes the dental plaque.

9. Treat Arthritis: Drinking green tea can help in treating rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular diseases.

The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). The only negative side effect reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine.  However, unlike black tea, it has little amount of caffeine which causes to insomnia, nausea and frequent urination. Green tea contains less caffeine than coffee: there are approximately thirty to sixty mg. of caffeine in six - eight ounces of tea, compared to over one-hundred mg. in eight ounces of coffee.
