How does onion juice help hair growth?

   How does onion juice help hair growth? 

 



Onions, normally seen as a humble kitchen staple, may have uses other than simply adding flavor to our food. It might sound surprising, but onion juice is also a home remedy for hair loss.


Does it work?



The use of onion juice for hair regrowth has not been extensively researched.

One small study published in the Journal of DermatologyTrusted Source indicated that applying onion juice to the scalp might help hair regrow in some people.

The study involved participants who had alopecia areata, which is a non-scarring, patchy form of hair loss.

Researchers found that hair growth started after 2 weeks of using onion juice, which was applied to the scalp twice daily.

Almost 74 percent of participants had some hair regrowth after 4 weeks, and at 6 weeks about 87 percent experienced hair regrowth. Both males and females participated in the study and the hair regrowth was higher among males.

Although the study did indicate positive results, it was small with only 38 participants.


How it may help




Nutrients in the onion juice applied to the hair may nourish the hair follicles, which might increase volume, shine, and improve hair strength. The extra nutrition may also minimize breakages and thinning.

As well as conditioning, using onion juice may also promote new hair growth in some people.

The reason onion juice may help improve the health of the hair may be due to the following:

Dietary sulfur


One theory on how onion juice can help hair regrowth is that onions contain dietary sulfur.

Sulfur is one of the most common minerals in the body. It is needed for adequate production of enzymes and proteins. Sulfur is also found in keratin, which is one of the components of hair.


The sulfur in onion juice may provide the hair with the nourishment it needs to grow. It may also increase the growing phase of the hair.


Anti-microbial properties

Onions have anti-bacterial properties, which may help fight scalp infections.

In some cases, a scalp infection can contribute to hair loss. A healthy scalp is more likely to have strong hair follicles.


Antioxidants

Onions contain antioxidants, such as flavonoids. Antioxidants are believed to protect the body from free radicals.

Free radicals are thought to contribute to the aging process. For example, free radicals may destroy the hair follicles and lead to thinning and loss of the hair.

Cancelling out or decreasing free radicals may reduce damage to the hair follicles.


Application


For those who want to try using onion juice to improve hair health or promote regrowth, the process is simple.

To make onion juice, people should follow these steps:

Peel about four onions and chop them into small pieces

Extract the juice out of the onion by either squeezing it or using a juicer.

Another option is placing the onion pieces into a blender and blending into a paste. Place the paste in cheesecloth and squeeze all the juice out.

Apply the juice to the scalp or the hair roots.

A few drops of essential oil may also help decrease the potent odor of the juice. Peppermint, lavender, and rosemary essential oils can be good options to dilute the smell.

Currently, there are no commercial products, such as shampoos, that contain onion juice.

However, commercially prepared onion juice and onion liquid extract are available for those who do not want to make their own.

International Space Station passengers watch sunrise and sunset every 90 minutes!

  International Space Station passengers watch sunrise and sunset every 90 minutes!




International SpThe International Space Station recently  organisation a question-and-answer session for social media users. There was a chance when two space station astronauts returned to the space station after doing a 7-hour spacewalk. One of them was Akhikho Hoshide of Japan and the other was Thomas Pesquest of France. Twitter users asked many curious questions to both the passengers.


 thought this conversation, a user asked if he felt any difference in temperature inside his space suit? The official Twitter handle of the ISS replied, “Astronauts performing spacewalks feel a sunrise and sunset every 90 minutes.” At the same time, the  revelation he made on the difference in temperature was also shocking.


Elaborating on this amazing phenomenon, NASA experts said that the International Space Station orbits the Earth every 90 minutes, so that they see a sunset every 45 minutes and a sunrise within the next 45 minutes. Is. That is, every 90 minutes they see a sunrise and a sunset. Apart from this, it was also told that there is a huge difference in temperature  thought this period. The temperature at sunset is -250 degrees  ceilidhs and at sunrise it is 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

Akhikho Hoshide and Thomas Pesquest were on the outside of the spaceship to install a support bracket so that a third solar array could be attached to the space station in the future. Both the astronauts completed their mission successfully. This was the 12th spacewalk to be  organization within this year.



Since NASA has also opened the International Space station for commercial use this year, energy consumption has also  grow there. So the team is working on upgrading 6 of the 8 channels out there so that  sufficient power supply can be available in the coming times.

How to Be Happy: 10 Habits to Add to Your Routine

  How to Be Happy:  10 Habits to Add to Your Routine




Regardless of your version of true happiness, living a happier, more  pleased life is within reach. A few tweaks to your regular habits can help you  obtain there.


Yes, it’s possible

Habits matter. If you’ve ever tried breaking a bad habit, you know all too well how engrained they are.


Well, good habits are deeply engrained, too. Why not work on making positive habits part of your routine?


Here’s a look at some daily, monthly, and yearly habits to help kickstart your quest. Just remember that everyone’s version of happiness is a little different, and so is their path to achieving it.


Daily habits


1. Smile


You tend to smile when you’re happy. But it’s actually a two-way street.


We smile because we’re happy, and smiling causes the brain to release dopamine, which makes us happier.


While not completely foolproof, researchers have found that the link between smiling and happiness could be attributed to the “facial feedback hypothesis,” where facial expressions may have a modest influence on emotions.


That does not mean you have to go around with a fake smile plastered on your face all the time. But the next time you find yourself feeling low, crack a smile and see what happens. Or try starting each morning by smiling at yourself in the mirror.


2. Exercise


Exercise isn’t just for your body. Regular exercise can help reduce stress, feelings of anxiety, and symptoms of depression while boosting self-esteem and happiness.


Even a small amount of physical activity can make a difference. You don’t have to train for a triathlon or scale a cliff — unless that’s what makes you happy, of course.


The trick is to not overexert yourself. If you suddenly throw yourself into a strenuous routine, you may just end up frustrated (and sore).


Consider these exercise starters:


Take a walk around the block every night after dinner.

Sign up for a beginner’s class in yoga or tai chi.

Start your day with 5 minutes of stretching.


3.  obtain plenty of sleep


Most  young need at least 7 hours Trusted Source of sleep every night. If you  search yourself fighting the urge to nap during the day or just generally feel like you’re in a fog, your body may be telling you it needs more rest.


No matter how much our modern society steers us toward less sleep, we know that adequate sleep is vital Trusted Source to good health, brain function, and emotional well-being. Getting enough sleep also reduces your risk Trusted Source of developing certain chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, depression, and diabetes.


Here are a few tips to help you build a better sleep routine:


Write down how many hours of sleep you  obtain each night and how rested you feel. After a week, you should have a better idea how you’re doing. You can also try using an app to track your sleep.

Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, including on weekends.

Reserve the hour before bed as quiet time. Take a bath, read, or do something relaxing. Avoid heavy eating and drinking.

Keep your bedroom dark, cool, and quiet.

Invest in some good bedding.


If some of these habits create added stress or just don’t fit your lifestyle, ditch them. With a little time and practice, you’ll figure out what does and doesn’t work for you.


4. Eat with mood in mind


You may already know that your food choices have an  effect on your overall physical health. But some foods can also affect your state of mind.Trusted Source


For example:


Carbohydrates release serotonin, a “feel good” hormone. Just keep simple carbs — foods high in sugar and starch — to a minimum because that energy surge is short and you’ll crash. Choosing complex carbs, such as vegetables, beans, and whole grains, can help you avoid a crash while still providing serotonin.


5. Practice gratitude

Simply being grateful can give your mood a big boost, among other benefits. For example, a two-part study found that practicing gratitude can have a significant impact on feelings of hope and happiness.


You might try starting each day by acknowledging one thing you’re grateful for. You can do this while you’re brushing your teeth or just waiting for that snoozed alarm to go off.


As you go about your day, consider keeping an eye out for pleasant things in your life. They can be big things, such as knowing that someone loves you or getting a well-deserved promotion.


6. Give a compliment

Research shows that performing acts of kindness may also help promote your overall well-being.


Giving a sincere compliment is a quick, easy way to brighten someone’s day while giving your own happiness a boost.


Catch the person’s eye and say it with a smile so they know you mean it. You might be surprised by how good it makes you feel.


If you want to offer someone a compliment on their physical appearance, make sure to do it in a respectful way.


7. Breathe deeply

You’re tense, your shoulders are tight, and you feel as though you just might “lose it.” We all know that feeling.


Instinct may tell you to take a long, deep breath to calm yourself down.


Turns out, that instinct is a good one. ResearchTrusted Source supports the fact that slow breathing and deep breathing exercises can help reduce stress.


8. Acknowledge the unhappy moments

A positive attitude is generally a good thing, but bad things happen to everyone. It’s just part of life.


If you get some bad news, make a mistake, or just feel like you’re in a funk, don’t try to pretend you’re happy.


Acknowledge the feeling of unhappiness, letting yourself experience it for a moment. Then shift your focus toward what made you feel this way and what it might take to recover.


Would a deep breathing exercise help? A long walk outside? Talking it over with someone?


9. Keep a journal

A journal is a good way to organize your thoughts, analyze your feelings, and make plans. And you don’t have to be a literary genius or write volumes to benefit.


It can be as simple as jotting down a few thoughts before you go to bed. If putting certain things in writing makes you nervous, you can always shred it when you’ve finished. It’s the process that counts.



10. Face stress head-on

Life is full of stressors, and it’s impossible to avoid all of them.


There’s no need to. Stress isn’t always harmful, and we can even change our attitudes about stress. Sometimes, there’s an upside to stress.


For those stressors you can’t avoid, remind yourself that everyone has stress — there’s no reason to think it’s all on you. And chances are, you’re stronger than you might think you are.


Instead of letting yourself get overwhelmed, try to address the stressor head-on. This might mean initiating an uncomfortable conversation or putting in some extra work, but the sooner you confront it, the sooner the pit in your stomach may start to shrink.

Sculpture in the Indian subcontinent

Sculpture in the Indian subcontinent



 

 Sculpture in the Indian subcontinent, partly because of the  weather of the Indian subcontinent makes the long-term survival of organic materials difficult, essentially consists of sculpture of stone, metal or terracotta. It is clear there was a great deal of painting, and sculpture in wood and ivory, during these periods, but there are only a few survivals. The main Indian religions had all, after hesitant starts, developed the use of religious sculpture by around the start of the Common Era, and the use of stone was becoming increasingly widespread.


The first known sculpture in the Indian subcontinent is from the Indus Valley civilization, and a more widespread tradition of small terracotta figures, mostly either of women or animals, which predates it.[1] After the collapse of the Indus Valley civilization there is little record of larger sculpture until the Buddhist era, apart from a hoard of copper figures of (somewhat controversially) c. 1500 BCE from Daimabad.[2] Thus the great tradition of Indian monumental sculpture in stone appears to begin relatively late, with the reign of Asoka from 270 to 232 BCE, and the Pillars of Ashoka he erected around India, carrying his edicts and topped by famous sculptures of animals, mostly lions, of which six survive.[3] Large amounts of figurative sculpture, mostly in relief, survive from Early Buddhist pilgrimage stupas, above all Sanchi; these probably developed out of a tradition using wood that also embraced Hinduism.[4]


During the 2nd to 1st century BCE in far northern India, in the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara from what is now southern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, sculptures became more explicit, representing episodes of the Buddha's life and teachings.


The pink sandstone Hindu, Jain and Buddhist sculptures of Mathura from the 1st to 3rd centuries CE reflected both native Indian traditions and the Western influences received through the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara, and effectively established the basis for subsequent Indian religious sculpture.[4] The style was developed and diffused through most of India under the Gupta Empire (c. 320–550) which remains a "classical" period for Indian sculpture, covering the earlier Ellora Caves,[5] though the Elephanta Caves are probably slightly later.[6] Later large scale sculpture remains almost exclusively religious, and generally rather conservative, often reverting to simple frontal standing poses for deities, though the attendant spirits such as apsaras and yakshi often have sensuously curving poses. Carving is often highly detailed, with an intricate backing behind the main figure in high relief. The celebrated bronzes of the Chola dynasty (c. 850–1250) from south India, many designed to be carried in processions, include the iconic form of Shiva as Nataraja,[7] with the massive granite carvings of Mahabalipuram[8] dating from the previous Pallava dynasty.[9]

Worried about battery life, try these 8 easy ways

 

 trouble about battery life, try these 8 easy ways


 

There are a number of  element that  donate to poor battery life on your Android phone.  delicate bodies, brighter screens, faster processors, more background software, and speedier internet connections all take their toll on phone batteries, but manufacturers are also  absorb more powerful batteries to  recompenses.


The Google Pixel 6 Pro has a 5,003mAh battery that can last for over 22 hours. Samsung's line of Galaxy phones can last anywhere between 11 and 13 hours, depending on the model.  unmoving , there are ways to get more out of any phone.


Menu settings will differ based on which phone you're using; in this story, we used a Samsung Galaxy S 20 FE running Android 11. But all Android devices should have similar features. With this caveat in mind, here are some  idea to  better the battery life on your Android phone.


1. Turn On Power Saving Mode



  Think you're going to be stuck in a situation where you need your phone battery to last longer than it normally does? Switch your phone into power saver mode, which automatically cuts back on functions that may eat battery life. On our test  feature , we opened Settings > Battery and device care, then tapped the Battery entry.


  beneath the battery usage chart, we  authorized Power saving mode to  instantly limit networking, syncing, and location services, and turn down the screen's refresh rate.  thought , by tapping Power saving mode, we could further customize the feature by turning off the Always on Display, limiting CPU speed to 70%, or reduse brightness by 10% in order to save even more battery life.


For maximum power-saving, the Limit apps and Home screen option enables only selected apps and limits all background activity when power saving mode is turned on. For older versions of Android, you may be offered multiple power saving mode presets, each with a different balance between performance and battery life.


  2. Airplane Mode Is Your Friend 



Sending and receiving wireless signals can strain your phone's battery, so consider turning on Airplane mode whenever you don't need to use your network data. Your easiest option: open the pull-down shade and tap the Airplane mode button to instantly disconnect your phone from Wi-Fi, disable Bluetooth, and turn off mobile data. Tap it again to restore access.

3. Your Screen Is Too Bright


Smartphone screens are big and bright, but they're also battery hogs. You probably don't need your device turned up to the brightest setting. Go into your Display settings and turn down the brightness on the screen. You can also open the pull-down screen and control the brightness from there. While you're at it, consider disabling auto brightness. This feature adjusts based on your perceived needs but can also raise the brightness of your display higher than it needs to be. Turn off the switch next to Adaptive brightness and your eyes (and battery) will thank you.

4. Let Your Screen Turn Off


Speaking of your phone screen, it's OK to let it turn off when not in use. That means changing how long the screen stays on under Display settings. Find the Screen timeout option and set it so that your screen turns off sooner when not in use.


Also, that always-on display that tells the time and date even when the phone screen is off? Shut it down. Head to your phone's lock screen settings and select Always on Display. You can set a schedule for it to turn off when you don't need it, set it to only display when you tap the screen, or shut it off completely.

5. Turn Off Active Listening




If you activate your voice assistant with a wake word, your device is constantly listening to you and using up battery life while it waits. You may find this convenient, but it costs more power than it's worth. Whether it's Google Assistant or Samsung's Bixby, you can turn this feature off and save a little extra juice.


 If you're constantly bumping into issues with Bixby, you can simply turn the whole thing off. Here are detailed instructions on how to disable Bixby on your phone.

 

6. Try Dark Mode With the Right Screen




 
Dark mode is nice on the eyes, but it doesn't really do anything for your battery unless your device has an OLED or AMOLED display. Most older phones use LCD screens, but flagship phones from Samsung, OnePlus, and Google have transitioned to using this newer display technology.

If you have a phone with an OLED or AMOLED display, it means the phone actually turns off the pixels that are displaying black, so you're saving some battery when all those bright white panels have now gone dark. According to iFixit(Opens in a new window), you could be saving as much as an hour of battery life by switching on dark mode.

Some phones have dark mode in Android 9 (Pie), but it wasn't until the release of Android 10 that all phones received the option. Open the pull-down shade and tap Dark Mode to turn it on and off. Otherwise, open your phone's Display settings to make the choice. You can also tap Dark mode settings to schedule when dark mode should go on.

7. Take Control of Your Apps



Apps continue to run in the background even when you aren't using them. This will, of course, eat up data and battery life over time. You can put unused apps to sleep under Battery or App Power Management settings. Choose Background usage limits and enable Put unused apps to sleep to prevent apps from wasting your battery life.

You can go a step further and manually tell your phone to put certain apps to sleep. Select Sleeping apps or Deep sleeping apps, then tap the plus (+) icon and add your app to the list. Keep in mind that sleeping apps will only receive updates occasionally and deep sleeping apps will not work unless they are in use, so updates may be delayed.

8. Dumb Down Your Phone



Modern smartphones are like small supercomputers that fit in your hand, but you don't really need the processor running at full speed all the time if you're just searching the web. Stop the phone from overworking itself by opening the Battery settings and finding Enhanced processing, an option that will ensure faster data processing at the cost of longer battery life. Make sure this is disabled. 

Another item to take control of is the refresh rate of your screen. Turning this up higher can help make animations on the screen look smoother, but it's not necessary and it uses more battery than normal. Open Display settings and find Motion smoothness, then make sure you're set to the standard 60Hz screen refresh rate instead of the enhanced 120Hz or higher.
