Health Benefits of Pumpkin.

Pumpkin addresses a number of health issues.

       Pumpkins belong to the Cucurbitaceae family, the same family which consists of gourds.  Pumpkins are normally orange or yellow in color. The richer the color of a pumpkin, the more is its Beta-Carotene content. Even the seeds of pumpkin show medicinal properties.
The Nutrients Present in Pumpkin:
•Beta-Carotene
•Potassium
•Vitamin A
•Vitamin C
•Vitamin E
•Folate
•Magnesium
•Manganese
•Zinc
•Niacin
•Calcium
•Dietary Fiber
•Carbohydrate
•Selenium
•Iron
•Protein
•Calories
•Pumpkins contain carotenoids which boost up the immune system and keep the body protected against infections and viruses.
•Pumpkins are rich in Beta-Carotene, a powerful antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory agent. Beta Carotene also prevents the deposition of cholesterol on the arterial walls and this way it brings down the risks of strokes.
•Pumpkins act as effective anti-agers due to the presence of alpha-carotene, Vitamins A and C, and Zinc. These components can slow down the ageing process.
•Alpha-Carotene, present in pumpkins, can prevent the formation of cataracts.
•Studies have shown the effectiveness of pumpkins in bringing down the possibilities of Macular degeneration, an eye problem which can lead to blindness. This can be attributed to the presence of antioxidants like Lutein and Zeaxanthin which can neutralize free radicals in the lens of the eye.
•Pumpkins have high fiber content. This ensures removal of toxins from the digestive tract and prevention of constipation.
•Potassium, present in pumpkins, reduces the risk of hypertension.
•Pumpkins contain zinc which benefits the immune system and improves bone density. Therefore, it is essential for people who are at a risk of osteoporosis.
What are the Health Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds?
•Pumpkin seeds are beneficial for the health of the prostate gland. The seeds can also alleviate the difficulty in urination which is often produced due to the enlargement of the prostate gland.
•The seeds contain a compound called L-tryptophan, which act as a remedy for depression.
•The seeds can effectively treat inflammation without causing any side effect as in the case with anti-inflammatory medications.
•Research has shown that pumpkin seeds can prevent the formation of calcium oxalate or kidney stones.
•The seeds contain plant-based fatty acids called phytosterols which helps in bringing down the levels of the "bad" LDL cholesterol.
Pumpkin is a delicious food option! It is not only pumpkin pie that would remind you of adding pumpkins to your grocery list! There are a lot of dishes which require pumpkin as the main ingredient. Change recipes every week to maintain your interest in the healthy food!

Ragi Dosa

Health Benefits of Ragi (Finger Millet):

•Aids in Bone Development: Ragi, an excellent source of calcium, contributes towards bone health.
•Aids in Weight loss: Tryptophan, an amino acid, present in ragi, reduces excess appetite & helps to control weight gain.
•Acts as a Relaxant: The amino acid called Tryptophan present in ragi acts as an excellent natural relaxant and helps to fight anxiety, insomnia and depression. The amino acid also helps in treating migraine headaches.
•Reduces High Glucose Levels in the Blood: Ragi shows antioxidant properties, and its phytochemicals contribute towards a slow digestion process. Hence it helps to control blood glucose levels in a diabetic.
•Acts as a Good Source of Protein/Amino Acids: Ragi is a rich source of amino acids which is beneficial for the human body. The list includes valine, tryptophan, isoleucine, threonine and methionoine.
•Lowers Blood Cholesterol Levels: The essential amino acids, Lecithin and Methionine present in Ragi, help to reduce cholesterol by removing excess fat from the liver. Threonine, another amino acid, prevents the formation of fat in the liver and this, in turn, brings down the cholesterol level in the body.
•Prevents and Treats Anemia: Ragi, being a good source of iron, can be considered as a useful cereal for anemic patients.
•Acts as Remedy for Various Health Conditions: Regular intake of ragi can prevent many health conditions such as malnutrition, premature ageing and the development of degenerative diseases. Green ragi is a remedy for blood pressure, heart weakness, liver disease, asthma and lack of milk production during lactation period.
Ingredients:
• 2 Cups Ragi Flour (Kezhvaragu)
• 1 Cup Rice Flour
• 1/2 Cup Curd
• 5-6 Green Chilies chopped
• 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
• 1 Onion chopped
• few chopped Coriander Leaves
• few Curry leaves
• Oil
• Salt to taste
Preparation Method:

• Mix the ragi flour, rice flour and curd adding water[around 5 Cups] to form thin batter. Ensure that its not too runny.
• Add the onions, green chillies, curry leaves, coriander leaves and salt.
• Leave it aside for about 30 minutes.
• Heat a griddle. Just like Rava Dosa, pour a ladle of batter onto the hot pan (it will be lacey with several holes). Drizzle some oil and leave it undisturbed until the edges turn brown.
• Flip and cook the other side.
• Ragi Dosa is ready to serve with Chutney or Pickle.

AP bid to encourage solar

AP bid to encourage solar:- 

  In the proposed solar policy the gap in the tariff decided by the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission and the quoted tariff will be met by the State budget.

  The Andhra Pradesh Government has decided to allow solar photovoltaic power plant developers to avail themselves the facility of Renewable Energy Certification for solar power generation.
The Government proposes to invite competitive bids with upper ceiling on cost. However, developers will be allowed pooled cost plus the facility to access renewable energy certificates.
Following a review meeting of the power sector, the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Mr N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, said in the proposed solar policy the gap in tariff decided by the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission and the quoted tariff will be met by the State budget.
While the State has sanctioned 97.5 MW of solar plants, about 26.5 MW has been commissioned thus far. The State regulator has permitted a tariff of Rs 17.91 a unit with AP Discoms offering Rs 5.50 and Ireda Rs 12.41 a unit. However, for new plants the new approach of pooled cost and certification approach has been adopted.
The State is keen to ensure that the farm sector gets seven hours of power supply during kharif season operations, even if this means power cuts to some sections including industrial consumers.
With the State faced with a shortfall of 24 million units per day, it is in the process of finalising long-term bids for procurement of 2,000 MW on long- term basis.
