Do you know what is "YKK". One of the most day to day used letters ... mostly for men. "YKK" are the letters framed on your zips... Stands for "Yoshida Kogyo Kabushibibaisha", the worlds largest zipper (also called fastners) manufacturer. Next time you zip yourself, you will remember this ;)

"Space needs more space in the blog !!! "
Hah, its been around 6 months and 17 posts I started blogging. I am bugged with the kind of space given to me ... ..
When I open my blog on browser or for that matter anybody's blog, I see it occupying just about 50% of the complete page (sidewise), and remaining page is completely blank... When in this world we talk about resource utilization, this much space is a complete waste... I think the blog pages is divided into frames, so I think the frames could be more flexibly made, or atleast some intelligence could be use. It could be customized in the sense that main post could be stretched side-wise to use the blank space. Dont know if this can really be done, and I am just ignorant... Need to find out !!!!!
Can google hear me ?????

performancing
Well as in last post, I used performancing of firefox. So I just thought of writing down some exeperiences ...
It wasnt upto my marks .... It did removed a couple of words, mostly from the start of the paragraph. Also some of the indentation was badly messed.
I just hope the extensions improve a lots, or I will improve ;)
Btw, if you are a regular visitor of my blog, and if you have a good eye.. you must have noticed that I started putting a lots of links (to the famous pages) ... So the reason is simple... I just want to be noticed by recent but famous verb "google" :). Will write some of my close *but* deep thoughts on page-ranking algo sometime soon.

Kuch Dil ki baatein...
Ah, its not really about "Dil" ki baatein.. I will do that some other time.. This is something about Heart .. which honestly I flicked from somewhere.. --
This entry comes in blog just for the reason that I should refer to it anytime, anywhere (ofcourse wherever I have internet), and dont lose it.
Btw, I am editing this post through blogging extension of Firefox ie. "Performancing".. Lets see how it goes :D.
-------------
Heart Diseases, Prevention
Diseases are the major cause of death in today's world, indeed much above any other cause. The prevalence of heart diseases is much more in western countries, some figures showing an incidence of as much as 50%. In India too there has been a considerable rise in the number of heart patients.
How does Heart Function
To understand the diseases of the heart it is essential to understand its structure. Heart can be divided into 4 major parts: left and right auricle that are at the upper part of heart, and left and right ventricle, which constitute the lower part. The auricles are connected to the lung through pulmonary artery and veins. The right part pumps fresh blood to all body parts. The tissues use up oxygen and nutrients from the blood, after which it returns to the left part of the heart. From here, the deoxygenated blood goes to lungs where oxygen mixes in it. The right side again pumps back to the body completing a cycle.
In a normal adult, such cycles happen 72 times a minute. In an active person the rate could be as low as 60 times a minute. Consider the difference: in one day it is 72*60*24 = 103680 versus 60*60*24 = 86400. This means that an active heart is able to pump more blood per cycle.
Heart Diseases
Most of the diseases of the heart are due to formation of deposition in the inner walls of arteries. This prevents smooth flow of blood. Such deposition, like due to excessive intake of calcium especially in childhood, may get rigid with time, more rigid than the artery itself.
In acute cases, an artery may be completely blocked. This happens particularly when a particle flowing in a larger artery block the gate of a thinner artery. This completely cuts off blood flow from some parts, leading to death of tissues.
causes:
Involuntary causes : Age, Hereditary, Gender.
Partially voluntary causes: Diabetes, Obesity, Food habits
Voluntary causes: Smoking, Alcohol, Stress, Inactive Lifestyle
Although the bad effects of inactive lifestyle and unsuitable food start accumulating right from the childhood, their effects may show up after a couple of decades. The risk of heart diseases is much more above the age of 40 and still much more after 60.
There is a strong positive correlation of heart diseases and inheritance.
Females have considerable lesser incidence.
Obesity means that the heart has to work much more, when compared with its strength.
Food habits: The cholestral level above 250 is considered dangerous. A level of 200-225 is also moderately dangerous. Food having saturated fat are especially undesirable: ghee, butter, coconut oil, vanaspati oil, cream, biscuit, egg, meat, fish. Unsaturated fat contained in kardi oil, maize oil and soyabean oil, is less harmful.
Some researchers do not think there is a positive correlation between cholestral level and the amount taken with food. They are of the opinion that the body produces cholestral from other components when it is not taken with food. There have been many experiments where a difference in eating habits did not reflect in the blood cholestral level. The researchers of this school place the blame on homosystine. This is produced from a protein called metheonine when the intake of Vitamin B6 is less. Some experiments seem to confirm this.
A delicate balance of Sodium in blood is essential for proper functioning of heart. Some doctors say common salt, that contains sodium, is not needed at all.
Others say no sugar is needed. The sugar contained in natural food is sufficient for the body.
The role of Exercise in preventing diseases cannot be overemphasized. Doctors say visible effects can be seen just after a couple of weeks of regular exercise. For example, noting down the pulse rate before and after two weeks of regular exercise show up a difference. A stronger heart needs fewer pumps per minute. Even 30 minutes of exercise, with 15 minutes that give moderate stress, also called primary or warm-up zone (like cycling) every couple of days is good enough.
