Greetings to One and All
Welcome Ones Again to my page in this Happy Occasion – The beginning of A to Z 2013 challenge.

Yes the beginning of the much awaited A to Z 2013 Blog Challenge is just here.
As an Intro. Let me put it this way:  I thought I will start this years blog challenge with my own name I mean with my pen name Ariel  but suddenly I decided to change at the last minute, since I have posted a similar post the other day at Tina’s page  The life is good. under the title  “Getting to Know….. So again I started to think for another subject.  All of a sudden a new subject came to my mind; it is worth noting here:

As we are all most conscious about our health these days, so I have decided to write something on this line which will definitely be a help to many who go through these pages.

As the saying goes Health is Wealth. Let us be more aware about it. Yes, just look around us, there are many resources available in and around us, for that matter even in our kitchen and kitchen gardens many such things are available.  If we look into the value in it, its is really amazing!  in these series I would like to bring out few such things which are more precious but we do not know the value or greatness of it.

In the recent past I did few research and collected some materials in connection with this from my friends and relatives and from the medical fratenity.

Let me start with the word "A" Yes, A for Apple.

You may think that, hey what is this, Are you crazy? starting from the nursery class. Of course I am starting from there but definitely not crazy! each of us I mean those who read this learned about this word from the Nursery classes. Yes, A for Apple LOL

Yes, no doubt its beginning is from there and it went into our mind from there.  But here I am talking about its medicinal properties and its great nutritional value as a medicine for some of the common ailments.

A Small Intro:
It is a sub-acid fruit and considered as one of the best fruit of all fruits.  It is generally considered as the most wholesome food.  Apart from its energy value it works as the developments of metabolic functions like the physical growth and functioning of the body.

It has been cultivated from pre-historic times, and has mentioned in the history of China, Babylon Egypt and even in the Holy Bible there are several references to this.  The interesting thing is that the Scandinavian believe that it’s the “Food of God” and believed that it has medicinal properties to energize mind and body. The age old saying of “An Apple A Day Keeps the Doctor Away” The research proved that this is true.

Here are some medicinal properties of this wonder fruit.

As it's being rich in iron. Arsenic and phosphorus are good to beat out anemia. Freshly prepared apple juice taken daily half an hour before meals and just before going to bed will give good result.

It’s very useful in curing acute and chronic dysentery among children.  Ripe apple should be crushed into pulp form and give to children several times a day one to four tablespoons according to their ages this will be a good remedy to dysentery.   The American Medical Association advocated the use of apples as therapeutic agent in dysentery.  Shredded apple mixed with a tablespoon of honey sprinkled with sesame seed is an excellent tonic and appetizer.

It’s also a good medicine for all types of headaches.  Removing the upper rind taken with little salt every morning on empty stomach is a good remedy for even severe headache.  This should be taken for a week.

Its contents of potassium and phosphorous are a help in alleviation of heart disease.   The recent study by Dr. Elizabeth Barret-Cannor of California University revealed that people who consume more potassium through good items are likely to skip heart attacks.

It is also an excellent food medicine for gout, arthritis and rheumatism.  For rheumatic pains its boiled jelly can be rubbed for quick relief.  It is also a good medicine for dry cough, about 250 grams for sweet apple taken daily for a week will give tremendous relief to this pain, It also helps in treating Kidney stones, eye disorders, and dental disorders, it has mouth cleansing properties, Dr. T Hanks in his book Dental Survey says, “Apples have mouth cleansing property that no other fruit possess, taken after meals it works as a good tooth brush in cleansing the teeth.

It also works as a good promoter to body’s vigor and vitality.  The regular intakes of apple remove all deficiencies of vital organs and make the body fit and strong.  Since it contains more phosphorus and iron than any other vegetable it works wonders.  Though its available in different forms like jelly juice or cidar and vinegar, the freshly prepared juice is more effective.

potassium permanganate
CAUTION:  The apple now available in the market are contained or sprayed with dangerous pesticides, the fruit should be thoroughly washed in all possible way, dip into the salt water and washed it with potassium permanganate will help in some extent.

As someone said, I too had the intention of keeping myself away from the audience while I write, so in the beginning I adopted the name ‘Ariel’ as my pseudonym.  But at a later stage I understood the value of revealing myself to the general readers.  And I came out with a write up about myself on “How I got my pen name?” And now I firmly believe and recommend that one (If he or she is a writer) need to have an identity to be revealed in the writing field, just ghost writing will not fit the bill.  And  the present trend at writing field is much more than that, unless and until you reveal yourself the audience may not get into it or sometimes even just neglect even though your thoughts or imaginations are in a high caliber.  This lesson I learned it while I was actively involved in Google’s Knol pages.  Since then I started promoting myself and my write-ups through different social media.  For such activities there is an other side too, I received lot of criticism when I started promoting my resources.   I just neglected such talks and still going on with my promotion as often as I can.  And ha,  Note that unless you do the promotion for your work who else will do for you? Think of this!  On this line recently I published a post at my blog page under the title. 9 Tips to promote your blogs…. to read Click Here

5 Things You Can Do to Prepare for the A – Z Challenge (A Guest Post By M J Joachim)

5 Things You Can Do to Prepare for the 


forthcoming A – Z Challenge


A to Z Blog Challenge for 2013 is getting geared up and many are seriously thinking about the challenge.  Some people might be a little confused regarding how to enter, what to write, how to post, etc. 

Guest Author M. J. Joachim presents 5 important tips to go ahead with the April Challenge.  I am sure these tips will definitely encourage and give more information to get into the challenge. 

If you are not yet registered for this years challenge, there is still time to join by visiting the A to Z Official blog sign up list

Thank you, Phil, for inviting me to write a guest post for your blog today. It is with great pleasure that I share a few things I’m doing, to make preparing for the A – Z 2013 Challenge a little bit easier this year.

There are lots of things you can do to make preparing for the A – Z Challenge easier. Here is a brief list to get you started. If you have some ideas of your own, please don’t hesitate to share them in the comments, so we all can benefit from each other.

Pre-type your blogging labels. Whether you are following a theme or not, preparing your labels ahead of time makes things easier. Begin with these obvious labels: A – Z Challenge 2013, Letter _, blogging challenge, blog hop. Then add your own labels, which are specific to your post. 


Prepare alphabet pictures for each of your posts. Whether you are downloading them from the web or making them yourself, creating a file on your desktop, filled with letters from A – Z will come in very handy when you want to promote your challenge. Using these in place of pictures in your posts adds clarity for visitors during the A – Z Challenge, as well.

Prepare your signature for your posts ahead of time. Include a link to Blogging from A – Z, since they are the ones hosting the Challenge. Then, just like you did with labels, copy and paste it in place.

Put the Letter of the Day at the beginning of your title, to make it easier for everyone concerned. This makes it easier on you, especially if your posts are in draft mode, waiting to be published, and it makes it easier on visitors jumping from blog to blog, trying to keep up with this phenomenal challenge and all of its participants.

Be thoughtful about your posts and take this challenge seriously. You’re going to have a lot of new visitors to your blog. You have no idea who some of those visitors might be. Step up to the plate and hit a home-run. This is your time to sling-shot your blog, way out into cyberspace! Make it count! You’ll be very glad you did!

Thank you again for allowing me to share some pointers for participating in the A – Z Challenge on your blog, Phil. It’s a true pleasure to be able to do so.
