Sleep more to lose weight!!!!!

 

 

 

Sleep behaviour affects body weight control and sleep loss has ramifications not only for how many calories we consume but also for how much energy we burn off, a new study has revealed.

In recent years an increasing number of epidemiological studies have found a relationship between how long we sleep for and obesity as well as type 2 diabetes, suggesting that insufficient sleep increases the risk of gaining weight and developing diabetes.

Work carried out by researchers from the German Universities Tubingen and Lubeck and Uppsala University in Sweden has investigated the effect of short term sleep deprivation on hunger as well as on physical activity and energy used by the body.

Physical activity was measured by special devices worn on the wrist that detect acceleration. Energy used by the body was assessed by indirect calorimetry, a method which estimates how much heat is produced by a person as they use oxygen.

Sleep deprivation increased how hungry participants felt and also raised the amount of the "hunger hormone" ghrelin detected in their blood.

In fact, the shorter the amount of sleep a person had experienced the hungrier they were.

After just one night of disrupted sleep volunteers moved around less although this was not surprising considering they also felt more tired. In addition, staying awake for one complete night reduced the amount of energy used by the body when resting.

This research tells us when we are sleep deprived we are likely to eat more calories because we are hungrier. This alone might cause us to gain weight over time. However sleep loss also means we burn off fewer calories which adds to the risk of gaining weight.

Ongoing studies aim to find out if increasing sleep time might help with weight control efforts.

While there is still some way to go before sleep improvement is used to treat obesity and diabetes, the available research results clearly supports the notion that sleep is involved in the balance between the amount of calories we eat and the amount we use up through activity and metabolism.

The study will be presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior (SSIB).

Natural Hair Conditioners

Ditch those expensive, chemical-based over-the-counter hair conditioners and whip up your very own customised hair moisturiser to make your locks lustrous – naturally!

 

Hair conditioners help smoothen unruly hair and make them look neat and silky. They are usually applied on the lower half of the hair strands.

Although the market is flooded with options, we know they are loaded with chemicals. When you can achieve the same effect by using natural ingredients available in your home, why buy those expensive products?

Here are some do-it-yourself hair conditioning treatments:

Homemade hair mask:

1. Egg mask: Courtesy, its high protein content, egg masks work best for damaged and dry hair.

• Mix one whole egg with one tablespoon of water or baby oil and work through your hair.
• Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Rinse thoroughly and use a mild shampoo afterwards to get rid of the eggy smell.

2. Avocado mask: Say hello to super silky hair with this one…

• Put a pitted avocado, one tablespoon honey and two tablespoons baby or olive oil in a blender. Make a smoothy.
• Leave it on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse and shampoo.

3. Banana mask: Go bananas to get that ultra-soft and mushy hair. If you find avocado a little too exotic and hard to procure, banana is the one for you.

• Mix a mashed banana with half-teaspoon of almond oil and some milk.
• Apply on your hair and wash thoroughly after 15 minutes and there you are.

4. Mayonnaise mask: Your favourite mayo is a pure delight not only in your sandwiches but for your hair too.

• Apply a cup of mayonnaise on your damp hair and wrap your head with a semi-hot towel.
•  Leave it for 20 minutes and shampoo it as usual. You can even swap mayo with yogurt to get a similar effect.

Home-made hair rinsers:

Create a great rinse to achieve sheen and lustre in your hair.
1. Mix together a teaspoon each of castor oil, glycerine, and malt vinegar. The castor oil pumps up your hair’s body, the vinegar balances the pH, and glycerine adds moisture. Apply the mixture to your hair before you shampoo and leave in for at least 20 minutes.
2. Brew some tea leaves in a cup of water. Strain and cool. Rinse your hair directly with this concoction after shampooing.
3. Beers not only add amazing shine to all hair type but they add ample moisture too. Use a flat beer (without carbonation or bubbles). For intense shine and body, use the beer after shampooing and rinse properly to save yourself from becoming a mobile beer bar.

Oiling your hair:

Olive oil: The age-old hot oil massage cannot be substituted by anything. Olive oil is considered the best for doing so. Massage the scalp and slather the locks with lukewarm oil. Leave it overnight and let the oil seep into the roots for a deep conditioning effect.

Mozilla suspends Thunderbird development 

Mozilla, with their sights set on more lucrative things like the mobile business have announced their plans to discontinue any significant development. Speaking through a blog post, Mozilla’s Mitchell Baker laid out the organization’s plans with the e-mail client, which apparently lacks in popularity when compared to the web browser.

Going ahead, Mozilla will have developers working on stability and optimization of Thunderbird, but there will be no more major feature updates coming from the Mozilla labs. Instead, Mozilla will be leaving the innovation open to community at large. Mozilla will continue serving updates to existing users through the Extended Support Release process.

BitTorrent have released an API for web developers called Torque, which makes Torrents available straight from the website, without the need for any client software. The company hopes that this engine written in JavaScript will be adopted by web developers to open up the technology to an even wider audience.

The API is currently in the Alpha stage of development, but the company has setup Torque Labs to demonstrate the possibilities of using this technology. For instance, using Torque developers will be able to offer Torrent links to its visitors as regular web links. Keeping with the times, Torque will also integrate into social networking platforms, and allow transfers between computers by simply dragging and dropping files. BitTorrent has made the JS available on a public repository at the GitHub.

Rumor: Apple preparing a smaller iPad

 

A fresh round of rumors surrounding a smaller version of the iPad have emerged out of a report by Wall Street Journal, going so far as to suggest a launch sometime this year. WSJ reportedly tapped into their source of components suppliers to dig up latest information on Apple’s future plans.

These sources told WSJ that Apple has asked them to ramp up production capacity until September, in preparation for mass production of a smaller version of the iPad. Other rumors about the new tablet suggest that its screen size will be little under 8 inches and it will cost anywhere between $250- $300. As for the display resolution, given its budget tag, a Retina Display equivalent is unlikely. An 8-inch tablet from Apple would certainly have a slight leg up on $200 tablets like the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7.

In 2010, Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs had remarked that there would never be a 7-inch iPad as the screen size is not sufficient to create great tablet apps.

Apple curently retails the entry-level iPad 2 for Rs. 24,500. While there are plenty of entry-level ICS tablets available at present, this will be an interesting three horse race to see which of these three tech giants brings a cheap tablet first to India. 

 

 Firefox Mobile OS devices releasing early next year

As Mozilla, ZTE and TCL Communications will be manufacturing the phones, under the Alcatel One Touch brand, and Télefonica will market the phones under its Vivo brands. In addition, Deutsche Telekom, Etisalat, Smart, Sprint, Telecom Italia, and Telenor are also expected to start offering phones running Firefox Mobile OS. Mozilla expects Telefónica should be shipping the first batch on these phones in early 2013............
