Indoor oxygen Plants – By Malsha – eLanka Indoor Air Quality: Indoor air quality can be compromised by pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene, and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These pollutants can be released by common household items, furnishings, and building materials, leading to poor air quality. Indoor Plants and Air Purification: Certain indoor plants have been studied for their ability to purify the air by removing these harmful pollutants. They can absorb these chemicals through their leaves and root systems and convert them into harmless byproducts. Oxygen Production: All plants engage in photosynthesis, a process by which they use light, water, and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and glucose. While most indoor plants do produce some oxygen, the amounts are relatively small compared to the total oxygen needs of humans indoors. Plant Selection: Some common indoor plants known for their air-purifying abilities include Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum), Snake ...

Calcified arteries- what is the significance? – By Dr Harold Gunatillake Calcium deposition in arteries shows how much fatty build-up or plaque formation. Plaques, especially in your coronary arteries, are the leading cause of heart attacks, and when a piece of these plaques breaks off, a blood clot can form around it, blocking the flow of blood, and the heart muscles will be deprived of oxygen. Coronary artery calcification is a buildup of calcium that can predict your cardiovascular risk, as all plaques get calcified with time. Cardiologist depends on ECG tracings during exercise on a treadmill machine to check on the degree of blockage of coronary vessels, shown by the ST segment changes. The presence of calcified plaques is visible on CT scans, and the number of such spots can be counted and given as a coronary calcium score. This is referred to as the calcium score, which measures ...

Crossing The Jordan – by Lakshman Navaratne Dust Divine Scripture is only for those who trust in a sovereign Creator. It has no value to anyone who remotely trusts in human logic, rooting our beginning to the Apes, and blindly branding humans as mammals who originally were Apes. Thus, believing our ancestry stemming to the Apes. Science has defined human life as “the evolved Intelligent Apes”  We humans, born in the last 200 years, who are still breathing oxygen on earth, are led to believe all science is intelligence acquired knowledge, which has become the snare put before the unsuspecting humans by the academia, stemming to Intelligence of the Phylum Mammalian. Scripture vehemently documents; we did not originate from the Apes. We were made from “Dust “and made Divine by the Creator of the universe. [A] An Apostolic Christian living today on earth, who has received the Baptism of Pentecost, ...

Breathlessness What is it?How and why do you get it By Dr Harold Gunatillake Transcript: Breathlessness- is a form of unpleasant breathing, rapid or difficult breathing. Normally in healthy condition you breath comfortably without your knowing at the rate of 14 breaths per minute at rest, to provide sufficient oxygen to breath in and to breath out the carbon dioxide produced in the body through metabolic process. Few sensations are as frightening as not being able to get enough air. Doctors use the term dyspnea for intense tightening in the chest, air hunger, difficulty breathing, breathlessness or a feeling of suffocation. Breathlessness indicates that the body needs more oxygen and energy when exerting itself. Now, what are the causes that produce shortness of breath. Common causes include asthma, a chest infection like pneumonia, a weak heart, being overweight, smoking. It could be a panic attack. It could be something serious ...
