DO U KNOW THE GOLD U BUY IS PURE?

Do u know how to identiy pure gold?

Which gold is pure?

Hindu religious people like to buy gold on Akshaya Tritiyai day. It is considered to be auspicious. They believe that if they get some gold on the day, they will get more wealth throughout the year. OK. This is the success of the gold merchants. They have managed to draw more crowds on this day.



But, are u sure that the gold u r buying is pure? Which is pure gold? Can u believe that all Hallmark gold ornaments are pure?

To some extent Yes. But, here also u may be cheated. Because u might have seen 916 gold as pure. But there are 5 other hallmarks. 916 means the gold is 22 carat. 375 is 9 carat, 585 is 14 carat, 750 is 18 carat, 875 is 21 carat, 958 is 23 carat. So, if the seller has got 750 hallmark approval, your gold is only 18 carat. So, ensure the quality u need.

What is this number 916? If u divide one gram gold into 1000 units, u will get 916 units of pure gold.
Before u buy gold, ask the seller about the fineness, 916 or someother number.
Again your seller might have got hallmark approval for bangle or ring or few items only. So, don't think that all the items are hallmark approved. So, look for the hallmark logo on every item u buy. Ofcourse, the logo would be small enough so that u can not see it easily. Ask for the lens. It is mandatory for the seller to provide lens to customers when they ask.

Again, what will happen, the quality differs? If u have any doubt about the quality after buying it, u can go to the labs approved by Bureau of Indian Standards. If the result differs from the assurances u have got, u can approach BIS. They will arrange to get adequate compensation. The site is bis.org.in

I hope this message is useful not only to my hindu friends but also to all the public who buy gold.

Unlocking the Benefits of Garlic

Unlocking the Benefits of Garlic

Garlic has long been touted as a health booster, but it’s never been clear why the herb might be good for you. Now new research is beginning to unlock the secrets of the odoriferous bulb.

In a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers show that eating garlic appears to boost our natural supply of hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is actually poisonous at high concentrations — it’s the same noxious byproduct of oil refining that smells like rotten eggs. But the body makes its own supply of the stuff, which acts as an antioxidant and transmits cellular signals that relax blood vessels and increase blood flow.

In the latest study, performed at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, researchers extracted juice from supermarket garlic and added small amounts to human red blood cells. The cells immediately began emitting hydrogen sulfide, the scientists found.

The power to boost hydrogen sulfide production may help explain why a garlic-rich diet appears to protect against various cancers, including breast, prostate and colon cancer, say the study authors. Higher hydrogen sulfide might also protect the heart, according to other experts. Although garlic has not consistently been shown to lower cholesterol levels, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine earlier this year found that injecting hydrogen sulfide into mice almost completely prevented the damage to heart muscle caused by a heart attack.

“People have known garlic was important and has health benefits for centuries,'’ said Dr. David W. Kraus, associate professor of environmental science and biology at the University of Alabama. “Even the Greeks would feed garlic to their athletes before they competed in the Olympic games.'’

Now, the downside. The concentration of garlic extract used in the latest study was equivalent to an adult eating about two medium-sized cloves per day. In such countries as Italy, Korea and China, where a garlic-rich diet seems to be protective against disease, per capita consumption is as high as eight to 12 cloves per day.

While that may sound like a lot of garlic, Dr. Kraus noted that increasing your consumption to five or more cloves a day isn’t hard if you use it every time you cook. Dr. Kraus also makes a habit of snacking on garlicky dishes like hummus with vegetables.

Many home chefs mistakenly cook garlic immediately after crushing or chopping it, added Dr. Kraus. To maximize the health benefits, you should crush the garlic at room temperature and allow it to sit for about 15 minutes. That triggers an enzyme reaction that boosts the healthy compounds in garlic.

Garlic can cause indigestion, but for many, the bigger concern is that it can make your breath and sweat smell like…garlic. While individual reactions to garlic vary, eating fennel seeds like those served at Indian restaurants helps to neutralize the smell. Garlic-powder pills claim to solve the problem, but the data on these supplements has been mixed. It’s still not clear if the beneficial compounds found in garlic remain potent once it’s been processed into a pill.
