DANGERS OF LAPTOP OVERHEATING

One of the biggest negative points about laptops is how easily they would overheat. If there is obstruction or prevention of proper ventilation especially when the laptop is placed on the bed, blanket or couch, the flow of air through the laptop is blocked by the surface where it is placed, holding the hot air in. Overheating can also occur due to a clogged ventilation system in the laptop. Prolonged overheating issues can damage vital components such as the CPU, hard disk drives, graphic cards and motherboards and you would have to end up buying a new laptop

You can fry an egg on an overheated laptop! (really)

Although its called a Laptop, it advisable not to place it on your lap as far as possible;  it's not good for your thighs; placing them on your lap for a long time can cause skin discoloration on the thighs. The bottom of an overheating laptop can become so hot that it can burn the skin, even when protected by clothing. Research also states that in male laptop users, the heat from the laptop can damage the sperm count and adversely affect the male fertility. There has been recorded incidents time and again, where laptops left on for prolonged hours have caught fire due to overheating! Imagine how dangerous it is to go to sleep with the laptop beside you on the bed or couch and it gets overheated and catches fire.

COLA AND SOFT DRINKS

Carbonated beverages or soft drinks is something young and old enjoy especially in the summer.  It seems refreshing the moment we drink it, but  the hazard it poses is something worth knowing.  

1. Caffeine and high amounts of sugar in soft drinks can seriously interfere with the digestive process. This means the body does not absorb nutrients from food completely eaten, and even eaten a few hours earlier.

2. Drinking soft drinks while having fever or flu will make it difficult for the body to fight disease.

3. Soft drinks are very acidic, especially Cola and it depletes the body of water. In order to neutralize a glass of Cola, it takes 32 glasses of pure filtered water. It is well known by the medical profession that disease loves acid. If we could get our cells to maintain a normal pH (slightly alkaline), cancer could not grow in our bodies. Cancer can't live in an oxygen-rich environment. Cola drinks make our bodies poor in oxygen

4. The bubbles and fizz in soft drinks can potentially burn human insides. This is caused by the phosphoric acid and carbon dioxide. The phosphorus in the acid upsets the body's calcium-phosphorus ratio and dissolves calcium out of the bones. This can eventually result in osteoporosis

5. Sugar in Cola Soft Drinks will cause an increase in "empty calories" that offer little or no nutritional value. This causes people to eat more because they always feel hungry. Their body is telling them that they need to feed the cells. Never finding the proper nutrients, the hunger becomes a vicious circle resulting in obesity

6. A diet high in Sugar, such as that found in Cola Soft Drinks, will cause blood sugar levels to skyrocket. The pancreas works to level out the high sugar levels by producing insulin. If Soda and Cola Soft Drinks are consumed at a high level on a daily basis, this will cause the pancreas to "wear out", resulting in diabetes.

7. Caffeine in Cola soft drinks artificially stimulate the body and increase the heart rate. This artificial stimulation temporarily arouses the intellect and fatigue seems to disappear, but shortly the "sugar high" dissipates. Caffeine raises blood pressure, increases heart rate, and cause plaque to form in the arteries (cholesterol).

8. Due to the higher sugar content, acidic content, additives, preservatives and dyes in Cola, the  functioning of the digestive enzymes in our stomach is reduced. Less food is digested the rest gets fermented. The undigested fermented food creates odors, gas, and poison, which is absorbed by the intestines, and these toxins lead to diseases.

9. Phosphorus found in Cola Soft Drinks (pH 2.5) renders hydrochloric acid (pH 4.5) in the stomach ineffective. This promotes indigestion, bloating and gassiness. Carbon dioxide is a waste product exhaled by humans, but they ingest it when they drink Soda and Cola Soft Drinks.

10. Olyethylene Glycol is an ingredient used in soft drinks. Glycol is used in anti-freeze in automobiles and as an oil solvent. When Cola Drinks are poured on your windshield in a snow or ice storm, you will discover that it will keep the windshield from freezing over with ice.

INNER PEACE

 "When you find peace within yourself,

 you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."
- Peace Pilgrim

Last few days, this was a  topic that was going through my mind, ‘Inner Peace’. I was talking to three really nice people I know who have different issues. Upon closer observation, I realized, all of them had one thing in common. They all truly lacked INNER PEACE!  Amidst our busy schedule, a huge list of things to do in a day, multitasking, and various responsibilities, we have a lot of expectations from ourselves and others. Certain expectations may not end up being fulfilled the way we wish.  Sometimes you have to work your way around for alternative solutions or be prepared to compromise in certain situations. Think out the box if need be, but in the end, be certain, everything WILL workout.

When a certain day might be filled with peace and everything working in your favour at work, or all is well in your personal life, and you think, WOW, I am really lucky and suddenly, boom, another day, you might find you have fallen sick or unable to meet a commitment or you face some hindrances in your work or project, you have this mean boss you have to deal with, you might have a fight over something big or trivial with your spouse or have a row with your friend. And you feel frustrated, down in the dumps or miserable. Why do you want to entrust your happiness or well being in someone else’s hands? They may or may not change. They have their own fixed personalities. The only way to get around them is to alter your thinking, improve your communication strategy and be calm around them. It’s natural for differing opinions and views to occur at work or at home. When you think calmly and peacefully, in any conflicting situation, you would always come up with a helpful answer. Don’t let conflicts cloud your thinking. Anger, resentment and sadness can take a toll on your health and it will in no way help to resolve any issues. The difficulties or trying situations we face or only ‘temporary’, a passing phase. There is a saying, ‘This too shall pass’.

When your desires are not fulfilled, and you seem to be in the waiting list of the Universe, well, don’t give up. Keep trying…have faith. But then, if you didn’t get what you hoped for, no matter how hard you tried, remember, the Universe has a bigger and more beautiful Plan B or Plan C for you, The strong positive desires you send out into the world, are captured by the radar of Goodwill and will return to you in the form of Great Blessings in due course. You just have to do your part. When you create inner peace and a higher vision, you are able to come to terms with what happens around you and meet the challenges or solve problems with a clearer mind and attract ABUNDANCE. When you dive within yourself into this reservoir of inner peace, you are able to function from that perspective, and find yourself spreading that peace to everyone around you. You begin, not to let what people say or think or how they behave to deeply affect you. You will not let negative situations pull you down. Your inner peace would be strong enough overpower any negativity.  In fact you would end up surprising yourself and a lot of people with your inner peace and aura.

Be at peace and spread Peace around you!

TODAY'S INTENT 'TO BRING POSITIVE ENERGY INTO MY COMMUNICATIONS'

Last night I came across this beautiful 'intent' quote that I thought of sharing on my blog. Communication - its such a vital part of our daily life and how we communicate with our family, friends, or colleagues and bosses at work affects our well being. I was toying around with 'Paint' software to give this 'intent' an artistic touch. I know it looks like child's work. LOL! However, the intent is powerful!
