Who the real robber??
During a robbery in Guangzhou, China, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."
Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept" Changing the conventional way of thinking.
When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!"
This is called "Being Professional" Focus only on what you are trained to do!
When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got."
The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"
This is called "Experience." Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications!
After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank".
This is called "Swim with the tide." Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!
The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."
This is called "Killing Boredom." Personal Happiness is more important than your job.
The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. The robbers were very angry and complained: "We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!"
This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"
The bank manager was smiling and happy because his losses in the share market are now covered by this robbery.
This is called "Seizing the opportunity." Daring to take risks!
So who are the real robbers here?

10 to 12 Cherries a Day keep Gout / joint pain Away
In a study of over 600 people with gout, those who ate a ½-cup serving of cherries a day, the equivalent of about 10 or 12 cherries, or consumed cherry extract, had a 35 percent lower risk of a subsequent gout attack.
Those who ate more cherries, up to three servings in two days, had an even lower, 50 percent reduction in risk.
Cherries contain powerful compounds like anthocyanins and bioflavonoids, which are known to fight inflammation and may help lower your uric acid levels; gout occurs when the metabolic processes that control the amount of uric acid in your blood fail to do their job effectively. The stiffness and swelling are a result of excess uric-acid-forming crystals in your joints.
If you have gout, it's very important to restrict your fructose intake to below 25 grams a day, including from fruit, as fructose drives up uric acid levels in your body.

Bizarre Stories of People Who Like to Get Married a LOT
1. The woman who won the record for the most marriages with 23 ex-husbands
Linda Wolfe, 68, who first wed at 16, is now a grandmother with 23 ex-husbands, which sets the world record for the Most Married Woman. She has said that she is "addicted to the romance" of getting married.
The best lover was Jack Gourley, who liked skinny dipping and impromptu trysts. She wed him three times. Wolfe also married a one-eyed inmate. Two of her husbands were gay, while two were homeless. Some cheated on her. One "choked her and turned her lip inside out." Another secured the fridge with a padlock and chain.
Her last marriage to Glynn Wolfe, a decade ago, was a publicity stunt. He took Linda as his bride, which officially made him the world's most married man at 29 times. He died a year later at age 88.
Ms. Wolfe has been single for a dozen years, her longest stint since childhood.
2. The couple who renewed their vows for the 100th time
A loved-up American couple set a new Guinness World Record for the most marriage vow renewals, having exchanged their vows for the 100th time at the Hard Rock Café in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Lauren and David Blair from Hendersonville, Tennessee first met in 1982 and were instantly smitten with each other. Their first date came two days later, and within three months David had proposed. The course to true love rarely being smooth, Lauren actually said no the first time. However, it wasn't long before Lauren accepted and in the summer of 1984 the couple was married in Topanga Canyon, California.
Since then Lauren and David, at 60 and 58 years old respectively, have renewed their vows 99 times, with each ceremony taking place in a different location. I guess they really like honeymoons.
3. The man who got married 53 times
After 52 marriages, 72 year old Malaysian Kamarudin Mohamad tied the knot for the 53rd and last time in 2004 with Khadijah Udin, who also happened to be his first wife a very long time back. Kamarudin had divorced Khadijah 50 years ago after living with her for only one year.
He claimed to not be a playboy, but could not find the right woman to be with the first 51 times. His 52nd marriage to a Thai woman was perhaps the most successful, as he remained with her for 20 years until she died of cancer.
74-year-old Khadijah Udin agreed to re-marry him only if he promised to give up his affection for beauty and live with her forever. Kamarudin agreed to live and love her for the rest of his life.
Out of the 52 women he married, one was English and two were Thai. His shortest marriage was for only 2 days! Kamarudin had eight children from his wives and sixteen grandchildren. He passed away in 2007 after setting the record for being the most married man on planet earth.
4. The former Brazilian Butt Queen who is set to get married for the 17th time
Gretchen is a Brazilian singer who became notorious as the Rainha do Bumbum ("Butt Queen") in the late 1970s. Lately she has another reason for notoriety that is much less appealing than her buttocks: she is set to marry her newest boyfriend who will become her 17th husband.
5. The company with the most married couples, since 76 employees are married to each other
You can add this as a work perk: if you want to find a husband, there is one company where you should send your resume. In this credit card corporation in Argentina, 76 of their employees are married to each other.
That's right, the record for the most married couples employed by the same company is held by Tarjeta Naranja of Córdoba, Argentina who, as of April 2004, had 38 married couples working for them. All couples sent in marriage certificates and proof of employment.
I can't help but wonder how hard it is for their human resource department to arrange combined vacations for all of them.
6. The Baptist minister who got married 29 times
Some people spend most of their years looking for their special someone, that significant other that will be their wife\husband and share the rest of their life. On the other hand, there was Glynn Wolfe (July 25, 1908 – June 10, 1997), a Baptist minister from Blythe, California who holds the record for the largest number of marriages at 29! His shortest marriage lasted for 19 days, and his longest for 11 years. Surprisingly, his last marriage was to the woman who holds the same record for the most married woman.
Although he had 29 wives, 19 children, 40 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren, nobody stepped forward to claim his body when he died.
7. The most married Hollywood stars, with 8 times each
Lana Turner (1920 - 1995), Mickey Rooney (b. 23 Sept 1922), Zsa Zsa Gabor (b. 6 Feb 1917), Elizabeth Taylor (b. 27 February 1932 - d. 23 March 2011) and Georgia Holt, have each married eight times.
Stan Laurel also had eight wedding ceremonies, but of these one was invalid because his divorce was not final, and two were "extra ceremonies" during his third marriage. In all he had four wives, one of whom he married twice.
8. The man who is married to twin sisters and their cousin
Joe Darger from Salt Lake City, Utah lives in a house with his three wives and their 24 children. His polygamous marriage is illegal in 50 American states - and has resulted in him being excommunicated from the Mormon church. However, Joe, a fifth generation polygamist, believes his is the correct way, and says he wants to fight to have his plural marriage officially recognized by society. The fundamentalist Mormon appeared on the breakfast television show alongside his three wives, 42-year-old twins Vicki and Valerie, and their 43-year-old cousin Alina.
Vicki and Alina have been married to Joe for 22 years after dating Joe simultaneously when they were just 18. Vicki's twin sister Valerie married Joe 12 years ago after her own polygamous union - with a man who had six other wives - broke down.

Don't under estimate senior citizen witty wisdom
A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he could get one over on them easily. So, the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game.
The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists, saying that the game is a lot of fun...."I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5.00. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00," he says.
This catches the senior's attention and, to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?"
The senior doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the senior's turn. He asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"
The lawyer uses his laptop to search all references he can find on the Net.
He sends E-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.
He wakes the senior and hands him $500.00. The senior pockets the $500.00 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior up and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"
The senior reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.

Kolegen
TIADA KOLAGEN DALAM RUMPAI LAUT
Apa yang anda akan baca di bawah ini mungkin akan mengejutkan. Malah mungkin ada yang tidak mahu menerima kenyataan. Realiti kadangkala sememangnya pahit untuk ditelan.
Tetapi inilah pendirian TSM sejak dari dulu lagi. Meskipun kami menerima bantahan dan kecaman dari pelbagai pihak, kami tetap degan pendirian kami. Kebenaran tetap akan kami dedahkan. Contohnya dalam isu rokok, detox rendam kaki, gelang magnet, rokok elektronik dan sebagainya. Sesungguhnya kebenaran itu berada pada kedudukannya yang tersendiri dan tidak akan mampu digugat oleh apa-apapun.
Dalam membongkar kebenaran, kami tidak akan menyebelahi kepentingan mana-mana pihak. Baik atau buruk, ia perlu didedahkan agar semua orang tahu. Kolagen adalah sejenis protein. Terdapat lebih 25 jenis kolagen yang terhasil secara semulajadi di dalam tubuh manusia. Ia membentuk 30% dari jumlah protein dalam tubuh manusia. Tidak dinafikan ia sangat penting untuk tubuh. Ia berfungsi seperti gam pelekat yang melekatkan seluruh bahagian tubuh kita. Seringkali kolagen dikaitkan dengan kesihatan kulit. Ia membantu melambatkan proses penuaan.
Bukan membuatkan kulit yang berkedut kembali tegang. Kenyataan ini sepatutnya diambil perhatian. Bagaimanapun, apabila usia semakin meningkat, degradasi kolagen akan berlaku dan akhirnya menimbulkan kedutan.
Oleh sebab itu, ramai pakar kesihatan kulit menasihatkan supaya mengambil langkah untuk merangsang pengeluaran kolagen. Ia dapat memperlahankan proses kedutan. Salah satu caranya ialah mengambil makanan yang tinggi khasiat menghasilkan kolagen di dalam tubuh. Itu tidak bermakna makanan itu 'mengandungi' kolagen. Rumpai laut yang mendapat sambutan hangat di pasaran hari ini ialah jenis agar yang diekstrak dari spesis Eucheuma Gelidium.
Ia sebenarnya sudah lama digunakan dalam masakan terutama untuk membuat kueh agar-agar. Hari ini, disebabkan penyebaran kononnya ia mengandungi kolagen, ia semakin mendesak orang ramai untuk mendapatkannya malah harganya kini meningkat.
Ia mendapat sambutan di kalangan mereka yang inginkan kulit kelihatan cantik dan licin terutamanya golongan wanita. Seperti biasa masyarakat mudah tertipu dengan apa saja iklan menggunakan teori saintifik yang cuba mengelirukan pengguna.
Pencarian TSM tidak menemui apa-apa maklumat tentang kandungan "kolagen" di dalam rumpai laut. Setakat ini tiada kajian saintifik yang mendapati rumpai laut mengandungi kolagen. Malah zat-zat yang membantu menghasilkan kolagen yang banyak boleh ditemui dalam vitamin C seperti buah-buahan citrus, bukan dalam rumpai laut.
Buah-buahan itu sendiri tidak mengandungi kolagen. Agak pelik bagaimana mereka boleh mendakwa rumpai laut adalah sumber kolagen terbaik? Kolagen tidak hadir begitu saja.
Dakwaan yang mengatakan adanya 'kolagen mentah' dalam rumpai laut adalah salah. Apatah lagi yang mendakwa 'ibu kolagen'. Tiada kolagen yang didapati dalam bentuk mentah.
Orang Jepun yang mula-mula menemui makanan rumpai laut hanya menjadikan ia sebagai sayur-sayuran dan salad dalam hidangan mereka. Jepun tidak memiliki tanah yang luas untuk penanaman, maka mereka beralih kepada sumber lautan.
Iklan-iklan di laman-laman web penjual rumpai laut yang membezakan gambar pengguna sebelum dan selepas jelas menunjukkan dua situasi yang berbeza.
Gambar 'SEBELUM' diambil dengan 'cameraphone' dalam keadaan kurang cahaya (underexposure) menyebabkan wajah kelihatan gelap dan kusam manakala gambar 'SELEPAS' pula diambil dalam keadaan cahaya terang (overexposure) menjadikan wajah kelihatan cerah 'berseri'. Ia tidak memerlukan manipulasi digital menggunakan perisian Adobe Photoshop, hanya olahan cahaya sekitar.
Ini jelas suatu bentuk penipuan. Bagi TSM dan mereka yang tahu teknik dalam fotografi, ia tentu mudah untuk dijelaskan. Penghaslilan ProdukRumpai laut digunakan untuk menghasilkan tiga hydrocolloids iaitu agar, alginat dan carrageenan.
Hydrocolloids ialah bahan yang larut dalam air untuk memberikan kelikatan, membentuk gel, untuk menstabilkan produk seperti ais krim (ia menghalang pembentukan kristal supaya ais boleh kekalkan tekstur licin).
Produk kosmetik seperti krim dan losyen kadang-kadang melabelkan kandungan "ekstrak marin", "ekstrak alga", "ekstrak rumpai laut" malah ada yang lebih berani melabelkannya sebagai "marine collagen".
Ini mungkin menunjukkan ia mengandungi salah satu hydrocolloids yang diekstrak dari rumpai laut. Alginat dan carrageenan boleh meningkatkan sifat-sifat pengekalan lembapan pada kulit.
Yang jelas, ia tidak boleh membuatkan wajah anda kembali remaja setelah kulit anda berkedut. Malah kajian terhadap beberapa spesies rumpai laut kelp, wakame dan nori mendapati ia baik untuk merawat kanser dan thyroid, bukan untuk awet muda.
Hari ini, sudah ada pengusaha produk minuman mendakwa minuman mereka mengandungi kolagen...inilah salah satu perkara yang paling melucukan yang pernah di dengar di abad ini. Ia juga mungkin penipuan terbesar abad ini.
Pihak berkuasa sepatutnya lebih tegas dalam menguatkuasakan akta pelabelan produk makanan dan minuman.
Jika anda ingin terus menggunakannya, anda boleh teruskan. Sekurang-kurangnya kulit anda sentiasa kekal lembap dan anda dapat khasiat seperti makan sayur-sayuran. Cuma anda membelanjakan wang yang lebih untuk mendapatkan khasiat sayur-sayuran sedangkan orang lain hanya membelanjakan beberapa ringgit untuk membeli sayuran di pasar.
Dari Mana Untuk Dapatkan Kolagen
Kolagen tidak boleh didapati begitu saja. Anda tidak boleh mendakwa anda mendapat kolagen dengan memakan 'kolagen'. Ia tidak semudah itu. Jika ada orang mendakwa sedemikian, dia mungkin berjenaka atau dia tidak pernah belajar ilmu biologi.
Dakwaan tentang kolagen mentah, kolagen asli atau ibu kolagen dari rumpai laut sebenarnya tidak berasas.
Ia sesuatu yang diada-adakan.Orang yang tidak tahu apa-apa tentu mudah diperdaya.
Tambahan pula terdapatnya iklan syarikat TM menunjukkan seorang pengusaha rumpai laut yang berjaya di TV. Ia mungkin sedikit sebanyak telah mempengaruhi pemikiran pengguna bahawa "rumpai laut suatu produk yang bagus dan mendapat sambutan luarbiasa sehingga ke luar negara."
Sebenarnya tiada apa yang ajaib tentang rumpai laut. Walaupun ia mengandungi nutrien dan faedah kesihatan, terdapat banyak lagi produk lain dari daratan yang sama atau dapat menandingi khasiatnya.
Kolagen dihasilkan dari dalam tubuh kita. Ia tidak boleh didapati dari luar. Untuk memastikan tubuh kita menghasilkan kolagen, kita perlu mengambil makanan-makanan yang boleh membantu penghasilan kolagen secara semulajadi.
Makanan yang boleh membantu penghasilan kolagen ialah sumber vitamin C seperti buah-buahan citrus, sayur-sayuran, tomato, keju, soya, asid amino, ikan dan telur.
Ingat Cantik, ingat vitamin C.
Ingat juga Tiada Kolagen Dalam Rumpai Laut..

SIX LESSONS OF LIFE
Lesson 1: Naked Wife
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.

When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,…
"Who was that?" "It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies. "Great!" the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish" "Me first! Me first!" says the administration clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Poof! She's gone. "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii,relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life." Poof! He's gone. "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."
Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 3:
A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,"Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak." Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."
Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Lesson 4:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him,"Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.
...A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.
Lesson 5: Power of Charisma
A turkey was chatting with a bull "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.
Lesson 6:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Moral of the story:
1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
3. And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut !

Doctor joke
Have a great weekend. Here is a Doc joke:
A man dashes into the A&E dept. and yells . . . 'My wife's going to
have her baby in the taxi'.
I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the taxi, lifted the lady's dress and
began to take off her underwear. Suddenly after protests from the
lady I noticed that there were several taxis - - - and I was in the
wrong one.

The Rose
I absolutely love this story........
"An 87 Year Old College Student Named Rose
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know.
I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?"
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.
"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.
She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…"
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was
introduced and stepped up to the podium.
As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."
As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop
playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day.
You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.
We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!There is a huge difference between growing
older and growing up.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.
If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change.
Have no regrets.
The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."
She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."
She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.
At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died
peacefully in her sleep.
Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be .
When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it!
These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.
REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS

Don't be a dead hero
What killed Ranjan Das and Lessons for Corporate India
A few months ago, many of us heard about the sad demise of Ranjan Das from Bandra, Mumbai. He was very active in sports, was a fitness freak and a marathon runner. It was common to see him run on Bandra's Carter Road . Just after Diwali, on 21st Oct, he returned home from his gym after a workout, collapse! d with a massive heart attack and died.
It was certainly a wake-up call for corporate India . However, it was even more disastrous for runners amongst us. Since Ranjan was an avid marathoner ( in Feb 09, he ran Chennai Marathon at the same time some of us were running Pondicherry Marathon 180 km away ), the question came as to why an exceptionally active, athletic person succumb to heart attack at 42 years of age.
Was it the stress?
While Ranjan had mentioned that he faced a lot of stress, that is a common element in most of our lives. We used to think that by being fit, one can conquer the bad effects of stress.
The Real Reason However, everyone missed out a small line in the reports that Ranjan used to make do with 4-5 hours of sleep. This is an earlier interview of Ranjan on NDTV in the program. Well-known cardiologist on the subject of 'Heart Disease caused by Lack of
Sleep' have distilled the key points below in the hope it will save some of our lives.
Some Excerpts:
1. Short sleep duration ( <5 or 5-6 hours ) increased risk for high BP by 350% to 500% compared to those who slept longer than 6 hours per night.
2. Young people ( 25-49 years of age ) are twice as likely to get high BP if they sleep less.
3. Individuals who slept less than 5 hours a night had a 3-fold increased risk of heart attacks.
4. Complete and partial lack of sleep increased the blood concentrations of High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-cRP), the strongest predictor of heart attacks. Even after getting adequate sleep later, the levels stayed high!!
5. Just one night of sleep loss increases very toxic substances in body such as Interleukin-6 (IL! -6), Tumour Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-alpha) and C-reactive protein (cRP). They increase risks of many medical conditions, including cancer, arthritis and heart disease.
6. Sleeping for <=5 hours per night leads to 39% increase in heart disease. Sleeping for <=6 hours per night leads to 18% increase in heart disease.
Ideal Sleep
In brief, sleep is composed of two stages: REM ( Rapid Eye Movement ) and non-REM. The former helps in mental consolidation while the latter helps in physical repair and rebuilding. During the night, you alternate between REM and non-REM stages 4-5 times.
The earlier part of sleep is mostly non-REM. During that period, your pituitary gland releases growth hormones that repair your body. The latter part of sleep is more and more REM type.
For us to be mentally alert during the day, the latter part of sleep is more important. No wonder when you wake up with an alarm clock after 5-6 hours of sleep, you are mentally irritable throughout the day (lack of REM sleep). And if you have slept for less than
5 hours, your body is in a complete physical mess ( lack of non-REM sleep ), you are tired throughout the day, moving like a zombie and your immunity is way down.
Finally, as long-distance runners, you need an hour of extra sleep to repair the running related damage.
In conclusion:
Barring stress control, Ranjan Das did everything right: eating proper food, exercising ( marathoning! ), maintaining proper weight. But he missed getting proper and adequate sleep, minimum 7 hours. In our opinion, that killed him.
If you are not getting enough sleep ( 7 hours ), you are playing with fire, even if you have low stress.
Unfortunately, Ranjan Das is not alone when it comes to missing sleep. Many of us are doing exactly the same, perhaps out of ignorance. Please forward this mail to your colleagues/friends as possible, especially those who might be short-changing their sleep. If we can save even one young life because of this email, we would be the happiest person on earth.

Golfer jokes
Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole. The ball hit one of the men.
He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony.
The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize. 'Please allow me to help. I'm a Physical Therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you'd allow me, she told him.
'Oh, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine in a few minutes,' the man replied. He was in obvious agony, lying in the fetal position, still clasping his hands there at his groin.
At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside. She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, 'How does that feel'?
He replied, 'It feels great, but I still think my thumb is broken!'

Wow
"A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping, and continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste, and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?"

Married couple
A couple was Christmas shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve and the mall was packed. As the wife walked through the mall she was surprised to look up and see her husband was nowhere around. She was quite upset because they had a lot to do.
Because she was so worried, she called him on his mobile phone to ask him where he was.
In a calm voice, the husband said, "Honey, you remember the jewelry store we went into about 5 years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we could not afford and I told you that I would get it for you one day?"
The wife choked up and started to cry and said, "Yes, I remember that jewelry store."
He said, "Well, I'm in the bar right next to it."
