The fabric of life

Assume that you are a thread in the fabric of life and everyone you encounter is a part of that thread.

You may not meet a lot of threads but they are a part of the same fabric.

When you meet someone, you would either go above, or go below that thread. You may remain above a lot of the threads, but you will have to go below some, or you won't be tied in to the fabric and remain loose.

Here comes the role of strengths and weaknesses.

Our ego is so high that if we are better than others in everything, we would think nothing of them.

But we have to think highly of others in some areas and it is this need to form the fabric (the bigger plan) that gives us weaknesses.

So, in essence, our strenghts make us Gods and our weaknesses make us Human.

Beat the Heat

Have you ever tried this? Try it the next time.

When you are beaten down by heat and feel hot and slimy with your own sweat, take a wet towel, wipe your forehead and your ears. Wipe the area behind your ears.

Make sure that your ears and the area behind your ears is wet. leave them wet.

This is sure to give you a boost for at least half an hour.

Fat deposition

When we are awake, our muscles are more active than when we are asleep. Granted?

Fine. When our body makes fat and is still deciding where to put it, it puts it at the places where we have the most unused muscles.

When does the fat really get below your skin? Does it happen when you are awake or does it happen when you are asleep?

I think it happens when you are asleep and not when you are awake.

Yawn

Why do we yawn? Because our body needs oxygen and there is a carbon dioxide buildup. That I know.

When do we yawn? when we feel sleepy. This I know.

So what happens when we feel sleepy that makes us yawn?

When we feel sleepy, the brain gives a signal to the body to begin the shut down process. So the lubrication in your eyes would go down, your breathing will become shallow, and your muscles will start relaxing.

But the body is still on. It's working. You are still awake, just feeling sleepy.

The shallow breathing that the brain induces fails to expel the carbon dioxide that your body produces, and also fails to provide the oxygen that the body needs. The result is your yawn, in which you first take in a lot of oxygen, and then exhale. Note that a yawn is so designed that your mouth and throat are opened to the maximum.

This means that a yawn is a full throttle overdrive for your body.

So the next time you want to watch your yawn, keep the breathing going...

Paunch

I have been thinking hard about the ungainly (...) paunch that quite a few of us carry. I am not talking about the rubbery slubbery belly, but the rough and tough, taut paunch.

Where does it come from? Fat? But fat gets deposited below the skin. That can not make the paunch so big and taut. It must be something inside the stomach that is pushing out so hard. So what can it be?

An enlarged organ? The stomach? Liver? Kidneys? what?

I think the answer is the intestines. They are continually filled with food. If you eat too much, there would be too much food in your intestines, which would bloat them up. This has to be accompanied with loose muscles.

The large intestine is probably the one that expands the most. Food (...) in the intestine continuously loses its water content. Therefore, if you've got food in there, you'd need to continuously provide it with water or it would go dry and become a hard cake (and you'd get constipated).

So if you have a paunch (tight one) your water requirement should go up.

I think you can lose that paunch if you just make sure that you bowel movement is as fast as your speed of eating, and if your bowels are empty most of the times. that would help shet a few kilos too.
