Reduce your Email Stress

                   REDUCE YOUR EMAIL STRESS!

The study proffers the conclusion that taking a vacation from email would, indeed, do more good than harm.In the age of Internet, most of us are hooked to emails, one way or another. It is probably most important tool of communication today. No wonder, we are labelled as "Cyber Coolies" either physically or mentally. The importance of emails is far more pronounced in business, with Black berry -totting executives furiously typing and writing emails, obliviously to world around them.

But there are downsides and most killing one is stress. Being cut off from emails significantly reduces stress and allows employees to focus far better. Those with no emails reported feeling better and able to do their jobs and stay on task with fewer stressful and time wasting interruptions.The employees are able to multitask less and experience less stress upon removal of emails.The employees are able to communicate better in person, get up and walk around with less emails. The only downside with less emails is few employees feel isolated. HR departments have a job on hand. One of the goals is to make organisation less email centric and lay down standards about accessing emails and replying emails. High standards of email replies should be avoided and warn employees who lay down email standards based on whims and fancies, just to impress one and all.

The researchers used heart rate monitors attached to computers in a suburban office setting, while software sensors detected, how often they changed windows, to conduct the study.Employees who read emails changed screens twice often and were in a steady " high alert" state, with constant heart rates. Those away from emails for five days experienced natural, variable heart rates. Employees using emails switched windows at an average of 37 times per hour, which speaks volumes of distractions while those without emails changed about 18 times, half as often. 

Email  should be accessed every two hours in order to avoid stress and avoid imposing high email standards in order to have less stress and more good life.

The Human Metagenome & New Cancer treatment and Cancer Scare in Colas

The Human Meta-genome:

HM has become a reality. We seem to be having ten times more germs in our bodies compared to our cells, and all their genes come into our meta-genome. The HM has had zero medical benefit. " We have , in truth, learned nothing from the genome other than probability. How does a1% or 3% increase risk for something translate into the clinic ? It is useless information" says J Craig Venter , a well known scientist.

New Method of Treating Cancer:

Using chemotherapy or radiation to treat cancer is not logical and has not done much good any way. Researchers are hoping to rope in our own body's immune system to treat cancer which looks promising. Although some efforts to use immune therapy have been in vogue , they were not successful. If one is to believe recent reports, there is hope that new methods of making our own immune cells kill cancer can be a successful method in the not too distant future.

Cancer Scare in Colas: 

The colour of Coca- Cola and many others popular brands comes from 4- methylimidazole ( 4-MEI) , a chemical that forms in the caramel food colouring. The manufacturers of all cola drinks in the market insist that it is safe in the dose found in their cans and bottles. But the authorities in California disagree. Long- term Exposure to this chemical is shown to induce lung cancer in rats; authorities in California have ruled that drinks carrying more than 29mcg(micro grams) should carry a warning on the can. Centre of Science (USA) found that cans of most soft drinks contain more than 140mcg. However , the FDA and the British Food Standards Agency think that it requires a very large dose to cause cancer and they are not losing sleep over this new finding, yet!
