How to remove neurotoxins and strengthen your senses
This is a two-step process. First,
you need to detoxify your body, then your nerves need nourishment. The
detoxification process works through the body’s natural organs of excretion:
lungs, kidneys, bowels and skin.
LUNGS:
Perform pranayam in fresh air,
surrounded by greenery. Pranayam relaxes and calms the nervous system. According
to Ayurveda, blocked air circulation in the lower body can result in problems
of excretion, fertility and ovaries.
SKIN: T
he skin is the largest organ of
elimination. After a detoxifying massage with medicated mud, take a full body
steam bath to further cleanse the channels.
LIVER:
Milk thistle, a very powerful herb,
helps the liver break down and rid pesticides from the body. These are excreted
via the bowels.
BOWELS:
Mix a teaspoon of triphala powder
with a teaspoon of wheat bran and drink it in warm water every night. To
strengthen intestinal health with the help of friendly bacteria, introduce
probiotics into your diet. For a deep cleanse of the stomach and lower
intestine, try panchakarma’s vaman and virechan medical purging and enema under
the supervision of an ayurvedic doctor. Follow with a khichri made with organic
ghee, rice
and moong dal.
KIDNEYS:
Burdock root is a kidney cleanser.
HERBS THAT HELP
Chlorella: An algae that rids the
body of toxic metals.
Cilantro: Detoxifies the body of
metals.
NERVE NOURISHMENT
Make these a part of your diet:
Virgin oils. Nuts and dry fruits like almonds, walnuts, pine nuts and figs.
Organic ghee or white butter once or
twice a day with meals.
Tonics like ginko biloba, jatamansi
and kava.

Then, using mobile apps, you can
configure each of the components, and even monitor the safety of your home
remotely from your smartphone or tablet, provided your home Wi-Fi connection is
up and running.
Those looking for a simpler set up
might find the Sengled Snap (top) indoor-outdoor LED lamp more appealing.
Resembling a light fixture, which can be screwed into a simple bulb holder, the
Snap is a welldisguised security system by itself, complete with a 720p HD IP
camera, microphone, and speaker. The gizmo supports cloud recording and
playback, voice and motion activation, along with facial and activity
recognition for home security .It connects to the internet through Wi-Fi on
2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, and this means house owners are provided with a
real-time view and playback of video footage directly on their mobile devices through
an Android and iOS app.
And finally, for protected access to
your PC, you can consider the eyeLock Myris (bottom right) an iris scanner
that connects to your PC via a USB port.The camera in the Myris captures a
video of your eyes to verify identity, and since no two irises are alike, the
chances of a false match are less than one alike, the chances of a false match
are less th in 1.5 million. Only DNA is more accurate.
Installation is quite simple too.
Just plug Myris in, find the app on the desktop and launch. During setup,
you'll be guided through a few steps to set up your profile and generate your
unique iris-based ID. The system looks at the unique characteristics of each
iris and generates an encrypted code, which will allow only you to unlock your
PC.
ON THE ROAD
The Mercedes-Benz F 015 is a
self-driving proto type that's equipped with stereo cameras, radar and
ultrasonic sensors to monitor its surroundings in every direction. Additionally
, it uses high-precision GPS data along with 3D maps for location to the exact
centimetre.
The F 015 is capable of
authenticating its owner by means of their smartphone or wearable device to
open doors automatically . Its activated digital dashboard then shows
driving-related information, such as vehicle speed, navigation, climate
control, and ventilation. And all of this can be controlled by a combination of
eye tracking and gestures.To initiate control, for instance, the driver simply
needs to look at the desired element on its display .As soon as the system
detects eye movement, hand gestures are interpreted as control inputs.
The head-up display in the
windscreen flashes placeand object-related content, including street names,
buildings, information on parking spaces, restaurants, and the occupancy of
hotels near to the vehicle's location. Thanks to its full internet connectivity
, the F 015's systems can be programmed from a PC or by using a mobile device
app. In effect, it can even be sent off to search for its own parking space, or
perhaps to a specific location to collect the user or other occupants.
What's more, this automated behemoth
is kitted with a high-precision laser system that allows the vehicle to project
a virtual zebra crossing, which indicates to pedestrians that it is safe to
cross. And if the F 015 brakes with the intention of stopping, a projected
display marks the position where it will come to a stop. To build this hi-tech
vehicle's body , Mercedes has used F1-grade carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic
(CFRP), which boasts of an impact protection that's five times higher than
steel or aluminium. This results in a vehicle weight that's about 40% lighter
when compared to today's automobiles.
Other car manufacturers like Audi
and BMW also have similar technologies. Like the MercedesBenz F 015, the Audi
A7 Sportback is capable of autonomous driving, while BMW has kitted its
existing models with a self-parking feature that finds a space by itself. It
also returns to the entrance of the parking lot when the owner taps on its
smartphone app, while avoiding obstacles on the way .
