Happy and Sad & when the Death

"Laughing is a celebration of the good, and it's also how we deal with the bad. Laughing, like crying, is a good way of eliminating toxins from the body. Since the mind and body are connected, you use an amazing amount of muscles when you laugh."

"I happy on you."

"If human life did not have laughing, that would be boring. Laughing is what makes life fun."

"Laughing is a kind of release. When I am sad and I laugh, I can forget about my problems at least for a little bit and be free from all the bad things that happen."

 "If you can't laugh, there's something wrong. You gotta let it out. If you didn't laugh it would be all bottled up. Then it'd probably come out as anger instead of laughter."

"In our way, life, besides being harsh, is supposed to be enjoyable too. Like our old folks, they tell stories and they laugh and enjoy themselves. So laughing is an expression of an emotion, but it also teaches at the same time." "In the Navajo tradition we have what we call Chi Dlo Dil, or a Laughing Party, for a newborn. The Laughing Party is the first laugh you hear from a child. It's usually around six weeks.It's the baby's first expression to the world, saying 'I'm ready to interact.'

Before that, the baby is still in the soft world and you aren't supposed to put anything hard and fixed on the body, or they may take on those qualities. But after the laughing party, you can give the baby jewelry or bracelets or other decorations.

At the party everybody sits around the baby and has a big meal and plays with the baby. The person who makes the baby laugh first plays an important role in the child's life."

 "Laughing means being cognizant of your surroundings. When you laugh you become a part of something you join in, you become part of the crowd.Sometimes the joke relates to you. It takes a little bit of humility when you can laugh at yourself get off your high horse, relax, and let it go. It's a way of saying 'You can have this one on me. Enjoy yourself. I'll get even.'"

"I don't know where the hell laughing comes from. It's good for your health, I know that much. There's so much sadness in the world, it's a wonder you can even laugh at all.Like when I lost my lady. I was 25 years with her. I cried plenty. I still wake in the morning and I think, 'Where is she?'

But life goes on. You can't go around being an old grump all the time."

"People can laugh when they can cooperate and share an experience together." "Laughing is the smile of the World." "Laughing is enjoyment. This is very strange. I have never seen this before. It looks like feathers." "We are funny." 

Think of something very sad and depressing.

If you need inspiration, the daily news is usually full of unfortunate events that will suffice to calm you down. Think about something that makes you want to cry. Although this can be unpleasant, it usually takes care of the uncontrollable urge to laugh. If sadness doesn't work, fear is also extremely effective. Think of a scene from a horror movie you just saw or a car accident. 
This is physically proven to work because the adrenaline (the fear hormone) released from your brain when you have these thoughts will block out the endorphins (the happiness or laughing hormone). It may take some practice to convince yourself enough of the fear, but once you have mastered it, it's very effective.

 Dying from a good joke, is it possible

You have heard the phrase "I about died laughing," or some such similar phrase. Did you know that some people have literally died from what seems to be just simple laughter of a joke or show? This was a crazy idea when I first heard it, but it is true! People have died from laughing, or complications that arose from laughing.

Whether heart failure, seizures, or some other pathological condition, death has followed a good laugh and there are stories to back this up. Usually, laughter is just a feeling of joy that turns into a physical reaction from jokes, tickling or other stimuli. It can make us start to tear up, or even have some minor muscle pain. I know that my cheeks have started to hurt from too much smiling and laughing before, and I have definitely shed some happy tears from laughing so hard that I could hardly breathe. Usually my laugh just goes silent at that point, and all is well as I calm down. Laughter is great medicine for us all, generally speaking. So don't let these stories spook you or anything like that. It is super rare that a person will die from laughing.

Warnings also for us. Living in the world just for a while, then you are advised to think about and work safely.

Tsunami & Earthquake in Japan

The Japanese archipelago is located in an area where several continental and oceanic plates meet. This is the cause of frequent earthquakes and the presence of many volcanoes and hot springs across Japan. If earthquakes occur below or close to the ocean, they may trigger tidal waves (tsunami).

Historic earthquakes 
Many parts of the country have experienced devastating earthquakes and tidal waves in the past. TheGreat Kanto Earthquake, the worst in Japanese history, hit the Kanto plain around Tokyo in 1923 and resulted in the deaths of over 100,000 people.
In January 1995 a strong earthquake hit the city of Kobe and surroundings. Known as the Southern Hyogo Earthquake or Great Hanshin Earthquake, it killed 6,000 and injured 415,000 people. 100,000 homes were completely destroyed and 185,000 were severely damaged.

Earthquake measurement

The Japanese "shindo" scale for measuring earthquakes is more commonly used in Japan than the Richter scale to describe earthquakes. Shindo refers to the intensity of an earthquake at a given location, i.e. what people actually feel at a given location, while the Richter scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake, i.e. the energy an earthquake releases at the epicenter.
The shindo scale ranges from shindo one, a slight earthquake felt only by people who are not moving, to shindo seven, a severe earthquake. Shindo two to four are still minor earthquakes that do not cause damage, while objects start to fall at shindo five, and heavier damage occurs at shindo six and seven.

Preparedness 
Every household should keep a survival kit with a flashlight, a radio, a first aid kit and enough food and water to last for a few days. Avoid placing heavy objects in places where they could easily fall during an earthquake and cause injury or block exits. Have a fire extinguisher. Familiarize yourself with the designated evacuation area in your neighborhood.

During and after an earthquake

Falling objects, toppling furniture and panic present the greatest dangers during an earthquake. Try to protect yourself under a table or doorway. Do not run outside, and try to remain as calm as possible. If you are in the streets, try to find protection from glass and other objects that may fall from surrounding buildings.

After a strong earthquake, turn off ovens, stoves and the main gas valve. Then listen to the radio or television for news. In coastal areas beware of possible tidal waves (tsunami) while in mountainous areas beware of possible land slides.

Alternative Treatments No 1 in Malaysia

 Health Tips

Maintaining good health is demanded by Islam. How many health benefits both in terms of science and the teaching of the Qur'an is as such: -

1. Exercise.

2. Food control.

Do you practice drinking a cup of tea "O" in the morning can control your weight. God willing, if you practice, your weight will be reduced. (indeed proven effectiveness).

The fast of Ramadan is rigorous during the best of times. During long and hot summer days, it may be required observe the fast for as many as sixteen or more hours at a time. To ensure adequate nutrition and continued good health, follow these tips:

• Prior to Ramadan, a Muslim should always consult with a doctor about the safety of fasting in individual health circumstances.

• Even if you are generally healthy, recognize that Ramadan will take a toll. Plan your schedule and meals ahead of time in order to make sure you get the nutrients, hydration, and rest that you need.

• Eat suhoor just prior to dawn. Yes, it’s hard to get up at that hour, which is why it has many benefits and rewards. It will help you to wake up for the Fajr prayer. The suhoor meal is Sunnah. And this morning meal is generally recognized as the single most important meal of the day. Do not overeat, though. Focus on taking in foods that are rich in complex carbohydrates and protein, fruits or vegetables, and plenty of water. For example: an egg on whole-grain toast, a few crackers with peanut butter, some orange slices, and two glasses of water.

• During the hottest part of the day, stay in cool areas (indoors or in shade) and limit your physical activity. Rest if possible.

• Avoid gorging yourself when breaking the fast at sunset. Follow the Sunnah: break your fast with dates and either milk, water, or fruit juice. After the maghrib prayer, continue with a light starter such as soup and crackers. After a long period of fasting, you need to bring your fluids and blood sugar level up without overdoing it.

• During the early evening (after maghrib), have a healthy and balanced dinner. Do not overeat, and be sure to drink a few more glasses of fluids.

• During the evening hours, resist the temptation to drink tea, coffee, and soda. When visiting friends or family, ask for glasses of water.

• Serve yourself, your family, and guests a “dessert” of fresh fruit and nuts. There are lovely choices available in this season, and they are much more healthy than chocolates and candy.

• Sip on water throughout the evening. Aim for 8 glasses by bedtime. To help you keep track, fill and refill a water bottle with a measured amount of water, and be sure to finish it.

• Light exercise, such as walking for 15-20 minutes, is best done in the evening hours.

• Avoid fried and spicy foods as they may cause heartburn or indigestion.

• Speak to your doctor about an appropriate multi-vitamin.

• Continue to brush and floss your teeth several times a day.

• Wash your hands regularly, and avoid those who cough or sneeze. This is important to prevent the spread of viruses (such as seasonal flu and H1N1) and bacteria which may cause illness.

• Quit smoking!

• Organize your schedule so that you get proper sleep and proper worshiping time.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE (HYPERTENSION) 

Facts: National Survey & Morbidity Malaysia (1996) - Sun, Tuesday, March 6th 2001

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or alternatively, when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Hyperglycaemia, or raised blood sugar, is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and over time leads to serious damage to many of the body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels. 

• Type 1 diabetes (previously known as insulin-dependent or childhood-onset) is characterized by a lack of insulin production. Without daily administration of insulin, Type 1 diabetes is rapidly fatal.
• Symptoms include excessive excretion of urine (polyuria), thirst (polydipsia), constant hunger, weight loss, vision changes and fatigue. These symptoms may occur suddenly.

• Type 2 diabetes (formerly called non-insulin-dependent or adult-onset) results from the body’s ineffective use of insulin. Type 2 diabetes comprises 90% of people with diabetes around the world, and is largely the result of excess body weight and physical inactivity.

• Symptoms may be similar to those of Type 1 diabetes, but are often less marked. As a result, the disease may be diagnosed several years after onset, once complications have already arisen.

• Until recently, this type of diabetes was seen only in adults but it is now also occurring in obese children.

• Gestational diabetes is hyperglycaemia which is first recognized during pregnancy.

• Symptoms of gestational diabetes are similar to Type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes is most often diagnosed through prenatal screening, rather than reported symptoms.

Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) and Impaired Fasting Glycaemia (IFG) are intermediate conditions in the transition between normality and diabetes. People with IGT or IFG are at high risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes, although this is not inevitable.

Stomach root of all disease;-

You are often attacked by an upset stomach for no reason? Or do you often feel uncomfortable in the stomach? Caution! It may be early sign to other diseases dangerous to you. As Rasulullah s. a. w, meaning: "the human stomach where the disease, while preventing the tree from the medication." (Reported by ad-Dailami)

Al-Ma'idah in Arabic means the stomach (ventrikulus) and the English called the Stomach. Is one of the digestive organs. Stomach is also one of the place or nest of disease.

1. Daily diet is not systematic.

2. Too much time eating.

3. Not vigilant with food and drink on which rests the insect.

Word Rasululluh s. a. w, meaning: "If a fly falls into the drink would you drink, then dip whole body flies into the drink just now and then raise (throw) the flies. Indeed,on one wing containing the drug and the other wing contain the disease. "(Narrated byAbu Hurairah)

4. Not carefully examined the contents.
