EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC FIELDS IN HUMAN BODY

If a person's blood becomes too thick it can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart attacks. But a Temple University physicist has discovered that the human blood can be thinned by subjecting it to a magnetic field. ~ Source: ScienceDaily June 7, 2011

Rongjia Tao, professor and chair of physics at Temple University, has pioneered the use of electric or magnetic fields to decrease the viscosity of oil in engines and pipelines. Now, he is using the same magnetic fields to thin human blood in the circulation system.

"By selecting a suitable magnetic field strength and pulse duration, we will be able to control the size of the aggregated red-cell chains, hence to control the blood's viscosity," said Tao. "This method of magneto-rheology provides an effective way to control the blood viscosity within a selected range."

After a lot of experiments and experiences it is discovered that many physical and chemical properties of body water changes when it is exposed to the influence of weak magnetic field. These changed properties, namely, its temperature, density, electrical conductivity, surface tension and viscosity exist for a long time. The blood is also a fluid hence it is also influenced by magnetic fields and its properties also undergo a change when it is brought in contact with magnets.

The blood consists of many inorganic salts and its important constituents and the properties of blood change under magnetic flux. This changed circulates through the whole body and provides beneficial influence on the entire body and relieves or prevents many ailments, thus affecting human metabolism.

Magnetic fields exist and do interact with the constituents of human tissues. All physical matter including ourselves consists of atoms and molecules, all moving about, some slow, some fast, depending on their molecular make-up. For instance, iron and nutrient rich blood cells are heavy and move slow, blood returning to be replenished moves fast. This constant movement in our bodies’ causes’ friction, this friction gives us heat in the form of body temperature. This movement that causes temperature also causes a magnetic energy field.

Affect of magnets on hormone secretion:

The joint effect of internal heat of the body and external heat caused by the magnet improves the function of internal secretion of hormones. The transmission of blood is done rapidly against this heat. The capillary vessels spreading all over like a net around hormone secretion tubes expand to a large extent and thus concentrates oxygen, which gradually supply hormone secretion into the tubes. By using the magnets continuously, various diseases caused by the lack of hormone secretion can be improved. The magnetic flux enters the tissues and works to regulate hormone secretion which preserves youth by providing energy and by normalizing the functions of the internal organs.

Affect of magnets on Pituitary Gland:

The Pituitary gland in human body is a ductless body located at the base of the brain, which always discharges hormone secretion. It helps in the body growth. The magnets can help the boys and girls to increase their height to some extent up to the age of 14-15 years in normal cases by increasing the secretion from this gland.

Affect of magnets on acceleration of Self-Curative powers:

The magnetic flux is a natural healing power and it revitalizes the self-healing property of the human body. The strong magnetic flux enters deeply into muscles, fatty tissues and bones and thus gives intense relief to the nerves. The use of magnet helps to improve even incurable diseases in a short period and increases self- curative powers.

Heart and Geomagnetic Activity

The link between the heart attacks and the geomagnetic activity is discovered by the scientists of the National Geophysics Research Institute, Hyderabad. The fluctuations in earth`s magnetic field are caused by solar flare and sunspot activity. These scientists also noticed that heart attack cases generally occurred during geomagnetic disturbances showing rapid fluctuations and pulsations. These pulsatory fields react with human heart or brain electrical potential and cause heart attacks or psychiatric disturbances in persons who are not otherwise in perfect shape and condition.

So, what are you waiting for?

News Cafe at Ramada Central - Breakfast Buffet

Hubby and I love foods; we love buffet and so we tried the breakfast buffet at News Cafe in Ramada Hotel in Binondo, Manila.

We got in the hotel around 9:30 a.m. after visiting and having our intentions said at Binondo Church - Minor Basilica of San Lorenzo Ruiz. Everybody at the hotel seemed to be so nice and courteous - from the security personnel, receptionists, News Cafe staff and many others.

Hubby started his plate and took his first bite - expressing his satisfaction of the foods taste, texture and variety. (I was so happy that hubby had a thumbs-up gesture for he was so difficult to please when it comes to buffets.) Meanwhile, I had to sip a cup of coffee first. I got my plate after my first cup and agreed that the food was great. 

Yes, we had a very great breakfast buffet experience though we thought that we'd be happier if we had our kiddo with us. We miss our Lil Eieo; he might enjoy the food, too.

We tried to get a little of everything and decided to indulge in every bite. And we didn't go wrong to really try it out. 

As of the moment, hubby and I really would recommend this and would pass the good news on. So my dear readers and fellow bloggers, you may consider visiting Ramada Manila Central, News Cafe and enjoy your dining experience, too. 

This is really a must-try! You'll love it. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Oh well, let me get straight to the point.

Price - 4/5 (good at Php 299 per person)
Food/Taste - 4/5 (great dining experience)
Service - 5/5 (all were courteous and nice)
Ambiance - 4/5 (very relaxing and cozy but may be too crowded; space may be so limited for many guests)
Proximity - 3/5 (still need to take a cab though)
Overall Value - 4.5/5

xoxo,

The Sweetest Date with Hubby

Hubby and I have been together for more than a decade. And having a simple getaway with him knocks me off my feet. Our Palawan escapades were the best but this simple day out we had last Saturday, January 5, 2013 (our first ever date for 2013) just seemed to be the sweetest.

I knew it. Hubby is not into watching movies in theaters; he'd rather buy DVD's and have marathon with me, Eieo, other family members or even our friends.But this time, we again shared good foods, relaxing spa and body massages, great movie, and the sweetest - our 'holding hands' moments.

So simple but very sweet.

Thanks, daddy! Love you more.

XOXO,
Mommy Mai

Prayer on Rizal Day - December 30


Let us put ourselves in the holy presence of GOD...

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Our God and Almighty Father, we are gathered here today to bear witness and celebrate the heroism of our patriot, Dr. Jose Rizal. We thank you for giving us a noble hero who imparted us his wisdom and courageous accomplishments to awaken our forefathers’ nationalism.

Like Rizal, help us to love our country more and commit ourselves to serve our fellowmen with all honesty, dedication and responsiveness. Guide our youths that they may adhere to the principles and values of our national hero. Lead us to the path of selflessness for us to become a man for others and a hero on our own simple ways.

We firmly believe in your graciousness and mercy. Bless our city, our beloved Meycauayan. Bless our leaders and all those who extend their efforts in making this city progressive, peaceful and a place where we can all live harmoniously.

We ask these in Jesus’ name. Amen.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Making My Marriage Last a Lifetime

Dad, Mom, Eieo and Eiea
I love him. He loves me. We've got love. But is that really enough? Love is so powerful that yes, it could move mountains. We have love and we're willing to stick together to keep this marriage alive, burning and kicking. We'll do whatever it takes - just to grow old together and to keep our vows of a lifetime commitment.

Yes, our isn't perfect and I know it won't ever be. But I know I am so blessed for having my hubby as he has loved me all his life though he isn't that expressive and showy about it. He has his own little ways of making me feel loved ; he has shown and taught me love differently. Now that I understand his language of love, I have been trying my best to read between the lines and appreciate all his actions and gestures towards me and our family. 

I have been married to my dearest hubby for more than six years now and yes, it has been a bumpy ride. We've got ups and downs (limited only to petty quarrels and misunderstandings) which I believe are just normal and part of discovering life and marriage. I am very thankful for not having big issues and problems with him (I just didn't know is he has on me, I hope none either). I am still very grateful to GOD for blessing me with a husband whose heart is as big and as good as what I have prayed for. 

We have differences; we've even have some gaps and misunderstanding at times but that could never be a reason to keep us apart and lose this great feeling, love. I could never imagine how life would be without him. I always pray to live a longer and happier life with him on my side as whenever I see our hands together, I feel overwhelmed, blessed and fulfilled. Holding hands - priceless. 

Having Eieo in our life has made our life better and a lot happier. And I think, when we finally have Eiea in God's time, life would be at its best, the happiest ever. Yes, love is enough to keep us together and make us stick to this lifetime commitment. 

And I'll make this marriage last forever. How? I'll do whatever it takes just to get pregnant again; we'll be working our way to have another blessing. With fingers crossed, we will have Eiea soon. I believe and I pray. 

Hugs and Kisses,

Mommy Mai
