REST, A MISNOMER

 


    It is a Sunday morning.  You are sitting in a easy chair with a news paper in one hand and a hot cup of coffee in another.  The tree lives are still.  No ripples in the nearby pond.  No traffic. And you think everything is at rest, quiet and still.  It is actually far from that.

     When you lay still, you heart is throbbing 72 times per second pumping 2000 gallons of blood per day  through 60000 miles long blood vessels.  Your lung inhales and exhales air continuously.  And there are so many biological processes are ON in your body.

    The liquid molecules in the hot coffee are at fast random motion.  The news paper you are holding is made up of hydrocarbon.  The electrons in these atoms are whirling around the nucleus and the protons are spinning. 

   Thousands of elementary particles called neutrino from cosmos are passing through your body at this instant.  For your information, neutrinos are tiniest and lightest particle existing in nature.  

    The water is seeping through the roots and trunks of the trees and the tree leaves are silently doing the duty 'photosynthesis'.  

     You, along with the chair , house and garden moving at 1000 km/hr due to the rotation of the earth.  You do not feel anything because the earth's motion is so smooth without any jerks.  

     We know the globe is moving around the sun.  And the entire solar system is going in circles around the center of milky way galaxy.  The whole galaxy is moving due to expansion of our universe.
   
     In our day-today life, rest means change of work.  For cinema theater employees, it is a work.  For us, it is an  entertainment and rest.

So the motion is the rule and not an exception.  Motion means life. So start moving to keep the body live and fit.

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...

How smart watch measures heart rate?

       Heart rate monitors in smartwatches typically use photoplethysmography (PPG) technology to measure the wearer's heart rate. PPG is a non-invasive method that uses light to measure changes in blood volume and flow within the body. In smartwatches, this is usually done by shining light from an LED onto the skin, and then detecting the changes in light that result from the pumping of blood through the veins. The smartwatch typically has sensors that pick up the light reflected from the skin and convert it into an electrical signal, which is then processed to determine the wearer's heart rate. This measurement can be taken continuously, or at specific intervals, to provide a real-time reading of the wearer's heart rate. Why green LED: G reen light has a longer wavelength than red light, which makes it easier to detect changes in blood volume and flow through the skin. This is because the longer wavelength of green light is better able to penetrate the s...
