FOODS FOR THE LIVER

• Broccoli - and the rest of the brassica family of vegetables are proven to support Phase 2 liver detoxification, eat plenty of broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage (all kinds) and kale; in-fact rocket was observed to protect the liver against induced hepatic injury through its potent antioxidant activity. 

• Raw fermented vegetables – give increased nutrients and support the health of the colon which in turn aids the liver.

• Onions – all vegetables from this family including leeks, garlic and shallots provide natural mustard oil glycosides that greatly support liver detox processes.

• Beetroot – for blood building (the liver contains 13% of your body’s blood); beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is high in iron, is a good antioxidant and has been shown to protect liver cells.

The hepatoprotective activity of Beta vulgaris may be attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The plant is safe to use even in large doses. Phytochemical studies on roots of Beta vulgaris have shown the presence of betaine, betacyanins, betaxanthins, oxalic acid, and ascorbic acid. 

• Turmeric – a common spice you can add to soups, casseroles, curries and rice. Turmeric protects the liver against oxidative stress, improves blood circulation and improves liver function and detoxification processes.

It has been shown that curcumin found in turmeric is very effective in preventing liver damage induced by paracetamol overdose, and that the level of protection afforded by curcumin against paracetamol-induced liver damage is comparable to that of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), which is presently the main clinical treatment for paracetamol overdose in humans. 

• Grapefruit - Studies conducted over past decades have suggested that the grapefruit might be active in cellular regeneration, cholesterol reduction, the detoxifying process, and the maintenance of heart health, in rheumatoid arthritis, for the control of body weight, and in cancer prevention. Grapefruit juice is an excellent source of many phytochemicals and nutrients that contribute to a healthy diet. It reduces fat accumulation in the liver and increases liver enzymes involved detoxification.

• Berries - These include Blueberries (Bilberry), Cranberry and Grape due to anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins.

The results of one study indicated that treatment with Bilberry significantly increased the liver enzymes, and spleen function, improving the proliferation of lymphocytes deriving from this organ. In conclusion, the authors suggested that consuming this berry type protected Liver hepatocytes from Oxidative Stress and could modulate the function of immune cells. It is important to remember that the anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins like those found in berries are also widely available in fruits, vegetables, and seeds of natural origin.

How to Deliver the Speech

Get Comfortable with the Crowd and Room
When it is finally time to deliver the speech, you should make sure that you arrive at the venue early—especially if you haven’t been there before. Take some time to scope out the area around you, including where people will sit and where you will be presenting. Take the opportunity to setup your laptop and/or projector if you need to. And try to do all of this stuff well in advance of the time you deliver. If you don’t do this in advance, and you find yourself confused or in the wrong place as a result, the pressure will build, which is the exact opposite of what you need before a big presentation. Instead, you want to arrive well in advance of the presentation, and you want the ability to check out the venue, get comfortable, and play out the scenario in your mind in a low-pressure situation because you ever have to speak a word to anyone else.


Don’t Dwell on Mistakes
One problem that many new speakers make is that they tend to dwell on mistakes. They might stutter or say words in the wrong order because they are nervous. And, instead of simply correcting themselves or moving on, they dwell on the error, apologize for it, and possibly even make fun of themselves using some self-effacing humor. While this may be okay for 1 or 2 mistakes, it really isn’t necessary and doesn’t add much to the presentation. To see why this is the case, just consider mistakes that you see in everyday conversation or on television. If it is clear from the context what the person meant, you won’t care whether or not the person painstakingly tries to correct what they said the first time. Instead, you would rather they move forward with the story. The same is true in any public speaking scenario. If what you said was unintelligible because of the mistake, then correct it briefly and without apology. But if what you said was clearly understood by the audience, don’t dwell on it. Instead, keep moving with the speech.


Stay Calm
Before you get up on stage to do your big speech or presentation, people will tell you to stay calm and that you’ll do great. Of course, if you haven’t done a lot of public speaking before, this advice probably seems insane. How could you possibly stay calm, you might wonder. So you ignore this as nicety and then get on stage to deliver your speech. A few minutes in, your heart is racing and you’re
stuttering. Now, in all fairness, even with this bit advice to “stay calm,” it is hard to know exactly what you should do to make it happen. What I will say, however, is that it is absolutely essential that you do stay calm and that you don’t panic. And here is how I suggest you do it:

i. Be prepared. I cannot stress this enough. If you prepare for your speech and you go through it with your family and friends, there’s really nothing to worry about. You’ll know the content of your speech so well that reciting in front of a group of strangers won’t be a big deal. On the other hand, if this is the first time you’ve ever said it in front of anyone else (or even recited it on your own), you’re more likely to get lost, to freeze, and then become nervous.

ii. Be at peace with pauses. If you’re sitting in the audience, it really isn’t a huge deal to you if the speaker pauses for 3-5 seconds to find her place on some speech notes. If it happens a lot, it might be annoying, but if it happens 2-3 times in the speech, it really isn’t a big deal. In fact, it is less distracting than if the speaker panics and repeatedly apologizes. So, either don’t apologize at all, or, at most, say something like “I’m sorry. Just give me a couple of seconds to find my place.”

iii. Use notes and/or a visual aid. If you’re delivering a eulogy or a wedding speech, a visual aid may be out of the picture. However, in many other scenarios, it will be a good option. Having a PowerPoint presentation or some other form of visual aid can go a long way in jogging your memory about what you’re supposed to say next. On the other hand, if you cannot use a visual aid, you should either write your speech out in full or jot down a notes on either a piece of paper or some notecards. If worse comes to worst, and you lose your place, you can scan the speech quickly and figure out where you’resupposed to be. This will be much better than stuttering, blushing, apologizing, and looking confused to the audience.

iv. Visualize everything in your head before you deliver the speech. Studies have shown that people who prepare for events ahead of time by visualizing the possible outcomes and how they will respond to them often do much better when the event arises. This is definitely true for public speaking. Envision how things might go well and how they might go poorly. Picture yourself responding to each scenario, so that you are prepared for anything.

To summarize—remaining calm is important. And the best way to do that is to be so prepared that the event truly does not seem like a big deal. You’ll know yourlines, and if something goes wrong, you’ll know how to cope with that, too. Being prepared is the easiest way to ensure that things go well and you don’t lose your cool.


Deviate from the Notes if Needed, But Not Too Far
Another important thing to keep in mind is that you should deviate from your notes or written speech if you have to. It may seem like a bad idea at first, but if the situation calls for it, skip a slide, change to a new topic, or jump ahead. Flexibility may be difficult to come by if you haven’t spoke in public multiple times, but if you allow for it, it can definitely improve your speech. With that said, you should definitely try to keep the deviations small and infrequent. For instance, skipping ahead to make sure you complete the presentation in time is good. But allowing a single question to derail your presentation for upwards of 10 to 15 minutes is a bad idea. Use your judgment when deciding which deviations are good and are likely to contribute positively to the speech; and which ones are going to be a time-sink with little reward.


Don’t Get Intimidated by Questions
If you’re giving a speech to coworkers, to your boss, to a seminar audience, or to an academic audience, you will probably have to field questions—and many of them. Some may seem mean-spirited, difficult, or designed to make you look bad and discredit everything you’ve said. And that is only to be expected. So expect this in advance. Expect the questions to be tough and tricky. And take them in stride. Listen to the audience member carefully, make sure you understand the question correctly, and then respond without losing your cool. If you have to, you can always say that you didn’t understand the question (and, thus, need the audience member to repeat it) or you can tell the audience member that you disagree, but will talk to her more about it later. Whatever you do, don’t lose your cool. You will always look better to the vast majority of the audience if you don’t get into petty struggles with individual members of the audience. You will also look better if you don’t appear visibly frazzled or insulted by a question. So try to maintain your composure—and then either answer the question or deflect it cleverly.

Practice

Deliver the Speech to a Friend
Practice is absolutely essential if you want to be a good public speaker. You cannot simply pen your speech and then deliver it the following day without ever having recited it once. That is a recipe for disaster.

Instead, what you should do is begin practicing your speech well in advance of the speaking date. Additionally, if you can, find a friend who is willing to listen to your speech and give comments. At first, it might seem irksome and embarrassing, but in the long run, you will feel much better about the quality of your speech after you have delivered it to a friend and have received extensive feedback.

In many cases, it is a good idea to deliver your speech to more than one friend or family member. This will allow you to get a better feel for how different types of people respond do it. Additionally, try to seek out individuals who are willing to provide blunt, honest feedback about changes you should make. It may be difficult to hear, but the information you gain as a result will be worth it.


Make Modifications as You Go
As you’re practicing your speech (either alone or with others), you should always keep something nearby to take notes on. As soon as you notice a flaw in your  speech, you should take note of it and fix it when you’ve completed the run through. It might be annoying to do this when you’re trying to complete a smooth run-through, but it will pay off by allowing you to eliminate the mistakes and bad
phrasing quickly.


Time Your Practice Sessions
Another thing you must do is time your practice sessions. If you don’t know how long each of your runs is going, you won’t know whether to add more content or remove more content. So do yourself a favor and use your watch to time how long each run takes. If you find you’re taking too long, try to figure out what parts are inessential and remove them.


Ask for Criticism
Earlier in the section, we talked about the need to solicit criticism from people who hear your presentation, but this cannot be stressed enough. There are many things in your speech that may sound odd or may be confusing to anyone other than you. The only way in which you can expose these problem areas is to present it to someone else; and to hear what they have to say. So do it. Try to make your presentation to as many people as you can. And ask them to honestly criticize how you did and to make comments about how you can improve.

How to Write Your Speech - Drawing a Powerful Conclusion

When it comes to drawing a powerful conclusion, no template can really suffice. Your conclusion will depend on your subject matter and on the specific findings you have—or on the specific people you are talking about. No matter what the topic is, however, you will want to draw to keep your conclusion/closing powerful.

Again, while there is no template for doing this, it is something you should strive to accomplish. So, instead of writing the conclusion like you wrote everything else, take some time to think carefully about it, to revise it multiple times, and to present it to friends and family members until you feel confident that it is strong and compelling.

How to Write Your Speech - Make your introduction interesting

Instead of simply presenting a broad, boring summary of everything you’re going to say, take it as an opportunity to motivate the purpose of your speech, and to encourage people to participate. In short, use your introduction to make sure the audience is awake and interested in what you are about to do.

Source of Information : Public Speaking Exposed

How to Write Your Speech - Think of Your Introduction as an Instrument or Tool

As with any good speech or presentation, your goal is to get into the meat of the speech, present some idea or topic, and hopefully get good responses and perhaps some useful suggestions (depending on your topic). You hope that the audience will enjoy it and will respond positively.

Unfortunately, there is usually a large stumbling blog that prevents you from doing all of this: the introduction. That’s right—before you can get into the meat of the presentation or speech, you have to wake your audience up, tell them what you’re going to talk about, and give them reasons to be interested. And your introduction is the tool you will use to accomplish this.

Now, one way in which you can instrumentalize your introduction to achieve this end is to use it to tease some of the more important findings or things that you will include in the rest of the speech. For instance, if it is a wedding speech, you might say that you’re going to reveal something about the groom that no one else knows—including the bride.

Alternatively, if you’re doing an academic presentation, you might consider teasing some of the important findings from your work. For instance, you might simply say “I found X,Y, and Z” in your introduction. You might think that it gives away too much too early, but in fact, it will focus your audience on the right idea—and will give them motivation to retain the rest of the information.
