			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.whyld.com/wp-content/uploads//sneeze.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-109" title="sneeze" src="http://www.whyld.com/wp-content/uploads//sneeze-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a>Sneezing is a natural process triggered by irritation in epithelium lining of nose. It is expressed in the form of sudden expiration of breathe with some loud in some people. There could be many reasons behind why do people sneeze including viral infection, pollen grains, perfumes, irritating smells, cold air, smoke or other allergens etc. No matters what is the reason for creating sensational trigger in nose lining, once it is irritated person has to sneeze to eliminate this disturbing feeling.</p>
<p>Why do people sneeze involves a whole mechanism of reflex activity during which epithelium nerve endings stimulated to sent a message to brain in the form of sensation. This sensational impulse is carried through sensory nerves which informs the brain about sudden feeling and makes it to trigger a reflex action. In order to create a rapid air expulsion high pressure is built by closing vocal cords. When required pressure is built, these vocal cords are opened at once to release air in the form of sneezing. This sudden and rapid outflow of air through respiratory tract causes to expel irritants out of body with a pressure. This process of pressure building and air expulsion carries on until all irritants are expelled out of respiratory apparatus. Once all irritating elements are expelled, sneezing stops automatically as it started automatically.</p>
<p>During sneezing process various chemicals are produced by the inflammatory cells present in nasal lining. These cells include eosinophils and mast cells which secret chemicals like histamine and leukotrienes to self start this process. If an infected person sneezes it causes the spread of viral infection. Therefore it is advisable to keep other away from yourself if you are suffering from such condition. Each droplet of mucus contains countless viral particles which can easily infect other healthy persons breathing in same environmental conditions.</p>
<p>There is an interesting myth about sneezing that nobody can sneeze with his or her eyes open. But there are a lot of people that can do it with their eyes open so they absolutely falsify this myth related with the physiological process of sneezing. They say though it seems to be a reflex action to close eyes during sneezing but if a person has a control over itself then he could certainly be able to sneeze with his eyes open. Is it true or not it could be another matter of discussion but in short why do people sneeze is just because of nose lining irritation which ends in sudden expulsion of air with all irritants out of nasal passage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.whyld.com/wp-content/uploads//sweat.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-107" title="sweat" src="http://www.whyld.com/wp-content/uploads//sweat-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a>Nature has set up an excellent system of keeping our body’s temperature normal through the process of sweating. So the reason behind &#8220;why do we sweat&#8221; is just to maintain the homeostasis of the body and its normal temperature that is 98.6 degree Fahrenheit or 37 degree Celsius. This normal temperature level rises due to internal and external factors including food digestion, metabolism, exercise and warm environmental conditions etc and to get rid of this extra heat body has to perspire regularly. Sweat basically comprises water and sodium which makes it a salty secretion.</p>
<p>Sweating is not as simple process as it seems to be. A whole system of sweat producing glands is there in our body and to keep the sweating process functioning about two million sweat glands are present in our body. These sweating glands are categorized into two groups including Eccrine and Apocrine. Now you were thinking that why these glands are divided into categories if both secrete water and salt. The reason is that both types are different from each other on the basis of their location, smell production and salt proportion in secreted form of body waste.</p>
<p>Eccrine is basically present in forehead region, palms of the hands and soles of the feet etc. The sweat produced by Eccrine is composed of 90% water with less percentage of sodium. Because of having higher percentage of water sweating through Eccrine does not produce ill smelling effect. While Apocrine is found in armpits and root of hair follicle produces sweat with high salt concentration. When sweat produces by Apocrine is broken down by bacteria it causes bad smelling sensation which can be felt easily particularly during high sweat production.</p>
<p>Sweating is one of the best ways to replenish body wastes and heat in the form of watery mixture of salts. If this excretory system is disturbed or sweat production lowered down due to any reason then it can lead to complicated physical problems including heat stoke and faints which are common problems during severe hot weather condition. If people want to keep their natural sweating process normal to avoid physical complication and to get rid of body extra heat then they must maintain their water intake level at two gallons per day. Otherwise inadequate perspiration could lead to undesirable physiological conditions and mental disturbance. So these are the factors and whole physiological process that explains why do we sweat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.whyld.com/wp-content/uploads//protein.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-102" title="protein" src="http://www.whyld.com/wp-content/uploads//protein-246x300.jpg" alt="" width="246" height="300" /></a>Nobody can deny the importance of building blocks in any structure and proteins are the building blocks of living beings. So why is protein important could be a matter of long discussion but here these certain reasons are described briefly. Proteins plays vital role in almost all important life activities from digestion to metabolism, from internal body defense to repair and from metabolism to blood clotting.</p>
<p>As far as protein chemistry is concerned it is made up of 20 amino acids out of which 9 you have to ingest in the form of protein rich foods and 11 are created by your body itself. So what you need to do is just to intake required proteins proportion and rest will be done automatically. But it is possible only if this protein is not utilized or burnt as a fuel for producing energy in the body.</p>
<p>Though proteins are basically ingested to make out body strong and healthy therefore it is advisable to consume more carbohydrates to cater the energy needs of our body. All of us know that carbohydrates are the cheapest way to get energy so it can be utilized to fulfill body demands. If sufficient amount of energy producing food is not available in the body then it burn stored proteins and fats to keep the normal life activities running. In this way precious proteins stock is burnt out to get energy for the body which is absolutely not a healthy sign.</p>
<p>In case if more than 14% of required protein level is utilized for energy needs it could lead to complicated physical activities and poor mental performance. It can cause fatigue, weak eye sight, faints, lowered energy and gradual and rapid loss of mass which could result in sudden break down of normal life activities. So save this second important element of your body structure if you want to enjoy a healthy and active life.</p>
<p>Another important thing regarding protein break down is that plenty of water is required in this process. So if you are preparing a plan for sufficient protein intakes then do not forget to include 15 to 20 glasses of water in your daily routine to keep this process functioning on normal level.</p>
<p>Proteins are easily available in the form of meat, milk, organic chicken, fish, eggs, yogurt, peas, spinach, sunflower seeds, cheese, hamburgers and roasted beef, so make these foods a part of your dietary routine to keep you healthy, active and young for a along time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.whyld.com/wp-content/uploads//salute.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-99" title="salute" src="http://www.whyld.com/wp-content/uploads//salute-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>Why is respect important is a simple but significant question which must be answered if someone does not have a clear viewpoint about it. But first it is important to know that what respect actually is. Respect is a basic moral value or need which makes us aware that we are human beings not wild animals. So we should respect others and should be respected by others to prove our humane identity among all other creatures present on this earth. The awareness about respect must be instilled in every human being from his childhood whether he belongs to a lower social class or an aristocratic section of society. Respecting your parents, teachers and elders is the main step towards teaching the meaning and importance of respect in our life.</p>
<p>Respecting others is a silent way to express our feeling for them. It’s an unspoken way of communication which build unshaken and strong relations between people respecting each other. When a person shows respect for someone, then it means that the person have some value for him. His advices and suggestions are important for him.</p>
<p>Some people, particularly younger generation, thinks that showing respect to someone means that you are degrading yourself. They take respect as a sign of weakness or inferiority which could harm one’s self respect. But it is absolutely wrong concept about the basic trait or emotion which makes us a real human being.<br />
Another way of understanding that respect important is to imagine a world without respect. Think if nobody have respect for others views and thinking, regarding every aspect of life, and try to impose his own will then what would be the situation.</p>
<p>Certainly we will stop tolerating each other completely and will become absolutely selfish in our thoughts and deeds which is actual moral degradation. We will start slipping towards immoral actions which leave no room for existing human civilization. In short if respect is taken out of human values then there is almost no difference between a human being and a beast left, other than physical appearances.</p>
<p>So respect others and make them to respect you through you respected and polished manners. Don’t forget to distinguish between respect and flattering as respect makes you a human being of higher moral value while flattering makes you a degraded person with no self respect at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.whyld.com/wp-content/uploads//kneading.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-68" title="kneading" src="http://www.whyld.com/wp-content/uploads//kneading-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>Many people have wondered why do cats knead and there exist several theories. The most popular theory however, is that it comes from the cats childhood. When a kitten suckles it will actually knead the stomach of it&#8217;s mother to make the milk flow more easily. As the kitten grows up the habit of kneading still stays there, and as an adult cat it will also knead. This habit is called milk kneading, and is one explanation why cats knead.</p>
<p>There is also another quite different theory as to why cats are kneading, that is that kneading originated back to the cats wild ancestors who had to tread down grass to make a temporary nest in which they could rest. When the cat kneads it presses downwards with it&#8217;s paw and exposes its claws. It closes it&#8217;s claws as it lifts the paw and the process takes between one and two seconds. Most cat owners see kneading as a problem, as it can be quite painful for the cat owner if the cat is kneading sitting in the owners lap.<span id="more-66"></span></p>
<p>Many cats purr when they are kneading, so this may be an indication that the cat is actually enjoying itself when kneading. This is the main reason why the first theory is the most likely one, and you can read about <a href="/why-do-cats-purr/">why do cats purr</a> here.</p>
