Manfaat Puasa

Inilah 20 Mukizat Puasa Terhadap Kesehatan Manusia
1. Keseimbangan anabolisme dan katabolisme
Berbeda dengan kelaparan atau starvasi dalam berbagai bentuk dapat mengganggu kesehatan tubuh. Namun sebaliknya, dalam puasa ramadhan terjadi keseimbangan anabolisme dan katabolisme yang berakibat asam amino dan berbagai zat lainnya membantu peremajaan sel dan komponennya memproduksi glukosa darah dan mensuplai asam amino dalam darah sepanjang hari. Cadangan protein yang cukup dalam hati karena asupan nutrisi saat buka dan sahur akan tetap dapat menciptakan kondisi tubuh untuk terus memproduksi protein esensial lainnya seperti albumin, globulin dan fibrinogen. Hal ini tidak terjadi pada starvasi jangka panjang, karena terjadi penumpukan lemak dalam jumlah besar, sehingga beresiko terjadi sirosis hati. Sedangkan saat puasa di bulan ramadhan, fungsi hati masih aktif dan baik.
2. Tidak akan mengakibatkan pengasaman dalam darah.
Kemudian juga berbeda dengan starvasi, dalam puasa Islam penelitian menunjukkan asam amino teroksidasi dengan pelan dan zat keton tidak meningkat dalam darah sehingga tidak akan mengakibatkan pengasaman dalam darah.
3. Tidak berpengaruh pada sel darah manusia
Dalam penelitian, saat puasa tidak berpengaruh pada sel darah manusia & tidak terdapat perbedaan jumlah retikulosit, volume sel darah merah serta rata-rata konsentrasi hemoglobin (MCH, MCHC) dibandingkan dengan orang yang tidak berpuasa.
4. Puasa pada penderita diabetes tipe 2 tidak berpengaruh
Puasa ramadhan pada penderita diabetes tipe 2 tidak berpengaruh dan tidak terdapat perbedaan protein gula, protein glikosilat dan hemoglobin glikosilat. Namun pada penderita diabetes tipe tertentu sebaiknya harus berkonsultasi dengan dokter bila hendak berpuasa. Diantaranya adalah penderita diabetes dengan keton meningkat, sedang hamil, usia anak atau komplikasi lain seperti gagal ginjal dan jantung.
5. Pengaruh pada Ibu hamil dan menyusui
Terdapat sebuah penelitian puasa pada ibu hamil, ibu menyusui, dan kelompok tidak hamil dan tidak menyusui di perkampungan Afika Barat. Ternyata dalam penelitian tersebut disimpulkan tidak terdapat perbedaan kadar glukosa serum, asam lemak bebas, trigliserol, keton, beta hidroksi butirat, alanin, insulin, glucagon dan hormon tiroksin.
6. Pengaruh pada janin saat ibu hami berpuasa
Penelitian di Departemen Obstetri dan Ginekologi dari Gaziantep University Hospital, terhadap 36 wanita sehat dengan kehamilan tanpa komplikasi berturut-turut dari 20 minggu atau lebih, yang berpuasa selama bulan Ramadhan untuk mengevaluasi efek Ramadan pada janin, pengukuran Doppler ultrasonografi dalam peningkatan diameter biparietal janin (BPD), peningkatan panjang tulang paha janin (FL), meningkatkan berat badan diperkirakan janin (EFBW), profil biofisik janin (BPP), indeks cairan amnion (AFI), dan rasio arteri umbilikalis sistol / diastol (S / D) rasio.
Kortisol serum ibu, trigliserida, kolesterol total, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein(HDL), very Low density lipoprotein (VLDL), dan LDL / HDL rasio juga dievaluasi sebelum dan sesudah Ramadhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, tidak ada perbedaan signifikan yang ditemukan antara kedua kelompok untuk usia janin, berat badan ibu, perperkiraan kenaikan berat badan janin (EFWG), BPP janin, AFI, dan rasio arteri umbilikalis S / D.
7. Penurunan glukosa dan berat badan
Studi kohort dilakukan pada 81 mahasiswa Universitas Teheran of Medical Sciences saat berpuasa. Dilakukan evaluasi berat badan, indeks massa tubuh (BMI), glukosa, trigliserida (TG), kolesterol, lipoprotein densitas rendah (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), dan Very Low density lipoprotein (VLDL), sebelum dan sesudah Ramadhan. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa puasa Ramadhan menyebabkan penurunan glukosa dan berat badan. Meskipun ada penurunan yang signifikan dalam frekuensi makan, peningkatan yang signifikan dalam LDL dan penurunan HDL tercatat pada bulan Ramadhan. Tampaknya efek puasa Ramadhan pada tingkat lipid dalam darah mungkin berkaitan erat dengan pola makan gizi atau respon kelaparan biokimia.
8. Pengaruh pada fungsi kelenjar gondok
Ketika berpuasa ternyata juga terbukti tidak berpengaruh pada fungsi kelenjar gondok manusia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan kadar plasma tiroksin (TS),tiroksin bebas, tironin triyodium dan hormon perangsang gondok (TSH) pada penderita laki-laki yang berpuasa.
9. Pengaruh pada hormon virgisteron
Sedangkan pada penelitian hormon wanita tidak terjadi gangguan pada hormon virgisteron saat melaksanakan puasa. Tetapi, 80% populasi penelitian menunjukkan penurunan hormon prolaktin. Penelitian ini menunjukkan harapan baru bagi penderita infertilitas atau kemandulan wanita yang disebabkan peningkatan hormon prolaktin. Sehingga saat puasa, wanita tetap berpeluang besar untuk tetap pada kondisi subur.
10. Bermanfaat Bagi Jantung
Beberapa penelitian menyebutkan sebenarnya tidak terdapat perbedaan yang mencolok saat berpuasa dibandingkan saat tidak berpuasa. Puasa Ramadhan tidak mempengaruhi secara drastis metabolisme lemak, karbohidrat dan protein. Meskipun terjadi peningkatan serum uria dan asam urat sering terjadi saat terjadi dehidrasi ringan saat puasa. Saat berpuasa ternyata terjadi peningkatan HDL dan apoprotein alfa1. Penurunan LDL sendiri ternyata sangat bermanfaat bagi kesehatan jantung dan pembuluh darah. Beberapa penelitian "chronobiological" menunjukkan saat puasa Ramadhan berpengaruh terhadap ritme penurunan distribusi sirkadian dari suhu tubuh, hormon kortisol, melatonin dan glisemia. Berbagai perubahan yang meskipun ringan tersebut tampaknya juga berperan bagi peningkatan kesehatan manusia.
11. Memperbaiki dan merestorasi fungsi dan kinerja sel
Saat puasa terjadi perubahan dan konversi yang masif dalam asam amino yang terakumulasi dari makanan, sebelum didistribusikan dalam tubuh terjadi format ulang. Sehingga, memberikan kesempatan tunas baru sel untuk memperbaiki dan merestorasi fungsi dan kinerjanya. Pola makan saat puasa dapat mensuplai asam lemak dan asam amino penting saat makan sahur dan berbuka. Sehingga terbentuk tunas-tunas protein , lemak, fosfat, kolesterol dan lainnya untuk membangun sel baru dan membersihkan sel lemak yang menggumpal di dalam hati. Jumlah sel yang mati dalam tubuh mencapai 125 juta perdetik, namun yang lahir dan meremaja lebih banyak lagi.
12. Sangat efektif meningkatkan konsentrasi urin dalam ginjal serta meningkatkan kekuatan osmosis urin
Penghentian konsumsi air selama puasa sangat efektif meningkatkan konsentrasi urin dalam ginjal serta meningkatkan kekuatan osmosis urin hingga mencapai 1000 sampai 12.000 ml osmosis/kg air. Dalam keadaan tertentu hal ini akan memberi perlindungan terhadap fungsi ginjal. Kekurangan air dalam puasa ternyata dapat meminimalkan volume air dalam darah. Kondisi ini berakibat memacu kinerja mekanisme lokal pengatur pembuluh darah dan menambah prostaglandin yang pada akhirnya memacu fungsi dan kerja sel darah merah.
13. Dalam keadaan puasa ternyata dapat meningkatkan sistem kekebalan tubuh
Penelitian menunjukkan saat puasa terjadi peningkatan limfosit hingga sepuluh kali lipat. Kendati keseluruhan sel darah putih tidak berubah ternyata sel T mengalami kenaikkan pesat. Pada penelitian terbaru menunjukkan bahwa terjadi penurunan kadar apo-betta, menaikkan kadar apo-alfa1 dibandingkan sebelum puasa. Kondisi tersebut dapat menjauhkan serangan penyakit jantung dan pembuluh darah.
14. Penurunan berbagai hormon salah satu rahasia hidup jangka panjang
Penelitian endokrinologi menunjukkan bahwa pola makan saat puasa yang bersifat rotatif menjadi beban dalam asimilasi makanan di dalam tubuh. Keadaan ini mengakibatkan penurunan pengeluaran hormon sistem pencernaan dan insulin dalam jumlah besar. Penurunan berbagai hormon tersebut merupakan salah satu rahasia hidup jangka panjang.
15. Bermanfaat dalam pembentukan sperma
Manfaat lain ditunjukan dalam penelitian pada kesuburan laki-laki. Dalam penelitian tersebut dilakukan penelitian pada hormon testoteron, prolaktin, lemotin, dan hormon stimulating folikel (FSH), Ternyata hasil akhir kesimpulan penelitian tersebut puasa bermanfaat dalam pembentukan sperma melalui perubahan hormon hipotalamus-pituatari testicular dan pengaruh kedua testis.
16. Bermanfaat untuk penderita radang persendian (encok) atau rematoid arthritis
Manfaat lain yang perlu penelitian lebih jauh adalah pengaruh puasa pada membaiknya penderita radang persendian (encok) atau rematoid arthritis. Parameter yang diteliti adalah fungsi sel penetral (netrofil) dan progresifitas klinis penderita. Penelitian tersebut menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat korelasi antara membaiknya radang sendi dan peningkatan kemampuan sel penetral dalam membasmi bakteri.
17. Memperbaiki hormon testoteron dan performa seksual
Dalam sebuah jurnal endokrin dan metabolisme dilaporkan penelitian puasa dikaitkan dengan hormon dan kemampuan seksual laki-laki. Penelitian tersebut mengamati kadar hormon kejantanan (testoteron), perangsang kantung (FSH) dan lemotin (LH). Terjadi perubahan kadar berbagai hormon tersebut dalam tiap minggu. Dalam tahap awal didapatkan penurunan hormon testoteron yang berakibat penurunan nafsu seksual tetapi tidak menganggu jaringan kesuburan. Namun hanya bersifat sementara karena beberapa hari setelah puasa hormon testoteron dan performa seksual meningkat pesat melebihi sebelumnya
18. Memperbaiki kondisi mental secara bermakna
Seorang peneliti diMoskow melakukan penelitian pada seribu penderita kelainan mental termasuk skizofrenia. Ternyata dengan puasa sekitar 65% terdapat perbaikan kondisi mental yang bermakna. Berbagai penelitian lainnya menunjukkan ternyata puasa Ramadhan juga mengurangi risiko kompilkasi kegemukan, melindungi tubuh dari batu ginjal, meredam gejolak seksual kalangan muda dan penyakit lainnya yang masih banyak lagi.
19. Peningkatan komunikasi psikososial baik dengan Allah dan sesama manusia
Manfaat puasa bagi kehidupan psikososial memegang peranan penting dalam kesehatan manusia. Dalam bulan puasa terjadi peningkatan komunikasi psikososial baik dengan Allah dan sesama manusia. Hubungan psikologis berupa komunikasi dengan Allah akan meningkat pesat, karena puasa adalah bulan penuh berkah. Setiap doa dan ibadah akan berpahala berlipat kali dibandingkan biasanya. Bertambahnya kualitas dan kuantitas ibadah di bulan puasa akan juga meningkatkan komunikasi sosial dengan sesama manusia baik keluarga, saudara dan tetangga akan lebih sering. Berbagai peningkatan ibadah secara langsung akan meningkatkan hubungan dengan Pencipta dan sesamanya ini akan membuat jiwa lebih aman, teduh, senang, gembira, puas serta bahagia.
20. Menurunkan adrenalin
Keadaan psikologis yang tenang, teduh dan tidak dipenuhi rasa amarah saat puasa ternyata dapat menurunkan adrenalin. Saat marah terjadi peningkatan jumlah adrenalin sebesar 20-30 kali lipat. Adrenalin akan memperkecil kontraksi otot empedu, menyempitkan pembuluh darah perifer, meluaskan pembuluh darah koroner, meningkatkan tekanan darah arterial dan menambah volume darah ke jantung dan jumlah detak jantung. Adrenalin juga menambah pembentukan kolesterol dari lemak protein berkepadatan rendah. Berbagai hal tersebut ternyata dapat meningkatkan resiko penyakit pembuluh darah, jantung dan otak seperti jantung koroner, stroke dan lainnya.
Berbagai kajian ilmiah melalui penelitian medis telah menunjukkan bahwa ternyata puasa sebulan penuh saat bulan ramadhan bermanfaat sangat luar biasa bagi tubuh manusia. Sebaliknya banyak penelitian menunjukkan bahwa puasa berbeda dengan starvasi biasa, secara umum tidak akan mengganggu tubuh manusia. Dalam mencermati temuan ilmiah tersebut akan lebih diyakini bahwa berkah kesehatan yang dijanjikan dalam berpuasa ternyata bukan sekedar teori dan opini. Manfaat puasa bagi kesehatan sebagian telah terbukti secara ilmiah. Wajar saja, bahwa puasa adalah saat yang paling dinantikan oleh kaum muslim karena memang terbukti secara ilmiah menjanjikan berkah dan mukjizat dalam kesehatan manusia.

Kepariwisataan


Untuk tugas Kepariwisataan ini saya mengambil salah satu cerita, yaitu saat liburan ke Kebun Raya Bogor (KRB).
Liburan ini sudah terjadi beberapa bulan lalu, tapi tepatnya pada hari minggu. Kebun Raya Bogor adalah salah satu tempat rekreasi yang tepat menjadi pilihan saat liburan, karena selain biaya masuknya yang terjangkau, tempat inipun sangat menarik. Untuk sampai ke tempat ini, bisa menggunakan kereta bagi yang rumahnya jauh dan turun di Stasiun Bogor lalu naik angkot ke KRB, atau jika menggunakan mobil pribadi bisa melewati jalan Tol Jagorawi menuju Kota Bogor, begitu keluar pintu tol Bogor, melewati terminal Baranangsiang, lalu ke arah jalan raya Padjajaran.
            Begitu masuk ke KRB, tidak jauh dari pintu masuk ada peta besar petunjuk lokasi KRB. 

Di sana menyediakan jasa mobil keliling Rp. 10000, tp saya memutuskan untuk jalan kaki saja.  
Kebun Raya Bogor didirikan tanggal 18 Mei 1817 oleh Prof. Dr. C. G. C. Reindwart, seorang ahli botani berkebangsaan Jerman. Pada awalnya kebun ini bernama s’Lands Plantentuin te Buitenzorg, yang menjadi pusat introduksi berbagai tanaman ekonomi penting pertanian.
Kelapa sawit (Elaeis guinensis) adalah salah satu komoditi pertanian yang diintroduksi dari Afrika Barat ke Indonesia melalui Kebun Raya Bogor yang akhirnya menjadi induk kelapa sawitse-Asia Tenggara. Tanaman.
Kebun Raya Bogor atau Kebun Botani Bogor adalah sebuah kebun botani besar yang terletak di Kota Bogor, Indonesia. Luasnya mencapai 87 hektare dan memiliki 15.000 jenis koleksi pohon dan tumbuhan. Saat ini Kebun Raya Bogor ramai dikunjungi sebagai tempat wisata, terutama hari Sabtu dan Minggu. Di sekitar Kebun Raya Bogor tersebar pusat-pusat keilmuan yaitu Herbarium Bogoriense, Museum Zoologi Bogor, dan Pustaka
Di sana juga terdapat perpustakaan, museum hewan, koleksi taman Anggrek, Istana Presiden dan pusat riset dan pengembangan biologi, serta ribuan koleksi spesies tanaman tropis yang dikelompokan sesuai dengan jenisnya, misalnya keluarga palem, bamboo, atau jahe yang jumlahnya sekitar 60 jenis dan juga pohon-pohon tua. Disekitar Istana Presiden terdapat banyak rusa yang dilindungi.

Bukan cuma tumbuhan besar saja yang ada di KRB, tetapi pepohonan yang kecil dan sedang dengan bunga-bunga indah pun ada. Di sana juga terdapat bunga Arnoldy rafllesia yang kesohor dengan sebutan bunga bangkai 

Sementara itu, di sekitar Istana Bogor, pengunjung dapat merasakan keteduhan dari deretan pohon Kenari yang rindang, karena memang tadinya, kebun raya merupakan bagian dari halaman istana. Meski sekarang ke dua tempat tersebut dipisahkan, namun pengunjung masih tetap dapat melihat Istana Bogor. 

Banyak pasangan yang melakukan foto pra-wedding di sana . Ada pula jembatan gantung berwarna merah atau yang lebih dikenal dengan nama jembatan merah. Konon katanya, pasangan kekasih yang melewati jembatan itu hubungannya akan putus tidak lama kemudian.

Langit bogor pun mulai gelap, dan saya pun bergegas pulang.

Learning Styles

Have you ever sat in class wondering if you would ever grasp the information that was being taught ? maybe the presentation didn't fit your learning style .

Our minds and bodies gather information in different ways and from all around us: seeing, hearing and doing . and our brains process that information , organizing it and making connections to thing we already know . this process can also work in different way: Do we think in pictures or words ? Do we remember details or the big picture ?

When we're  trying to learn , it helps to know how our brain works . how do we best gather and organize information ? Different people have different learning styles . for example , one person might struggle with written information but understand it immediately in an illustration .
another people might have problem with the picture , but not the written text .

Psychologists have identified seven basic learning styles :
LINGUISTIC - this people learn by using language - listening, reading, speaking annd writing .
LOGICAL - this people learn by applying formulas and scientific principles .
VISUAL - these people learn by seeing what they are learning .
MUSICAL - instead of finding music a distraction , this people learn well when information is presented through music .
KINESTHETIC - movement and physical activities help these people learn .
INTRAPERSONAL - these people learn best if they associate new information directly with their own experiences .
INTERPEERSONAL - these people learn well by working with others .

you will often encounter situations that do not match your strongest learning style . if you know what your strengths are , you can develop strategies to balance your weaknesses , for a more successful learning experience .

Gemini Romance

Lessons to give in love : Awareness and intellectual stimulation. Versatility, readiness for experimentation and open-mindedness.

Lessons to learn in love : Appreciation for the intangible, warm and tender side of love. 

Personality : The toddler in Gemini understands, appreciates and values his autonomy and new-found independence. Communication is new and very enchanting and intoxicating, as it allows them to catch others’ attention. Most Geminis love to talk, and manage to leave others smitten in the process. Gemini wishes to break the barriers of familiarity. A strong urge to run at the first instance to explore the world follows. And, hence comes the duality. The toddler runs away, then stops and looks back at the security of his home, and is left torn between the world that beckons him, and the nest that is familiar and safe. Alert, perceptive and versatile Gemini longs to traverse the mystical path, and keeps analysing and dissecting the actions of the world. Know how you and your Gemini mate will gel with a FREE Love Horoscope Report.
Love for Gemini is : conformity that does bring happiness and pleasure, yet can be a hindrance to complete freedom. In positive sense, love becomes an enjoyable bond for the Gemini. When negatively viewed, it may cause resentment, as the Gemini may come to view love as restrictive. The negative traits of Gemini – shallow behaviour, glib talking, deception, duality, unreliability – may become pronounced, if a Gemini continues to see love and relationships as binding, mere obligations that are barriers to his freedom and independence. If you are a Gemini, and are prone to such confusing emotions, grab a tailor-made astrological answer to your love questions in the service Love Ask 3 Questions. Your Birth Chart (Horoscope) is unique, and a reading based on it is most reliable and complete. Find true love and complete your life!

When in Love : Gemini are versatile, entertaining, inquisitive and stimulating. Their candid, amicable personalities make them great companions. Spending hours simply chatting and interacting with their loved one is always on their agenda. Gemini, however, are prone to bouts of restlessness and recklessness. Impractical, impatient and inconsistent when under such spells, they may attempt to run away from love. As aforementioned, also prone to feelings of duality about love and relationships, they may love the pleasure, amusement and warmth the love brings him, and the next moment may resent it with full force. 

Still confused about your love life? Put straight your love equation by finding your compatibility quotient with Birth Chart based report Couple Analysis.

Gemini Nature


The symbol of your sign Gemini is The Twins, which explains the duality in your nature. A marked inconsistency in your behaviour sets you apart from others. For instance, one day you may profess a liking for one thing, and the next you may say that you like just the opposite thing. You can feel love and hate at the same time; indeed, sometimes it may be difficult for you to distinguish between the two emotions. It can be very confusing, not just for you, but even for others around you. It can affect your judgement, too. You could end up thinking of a true well-wisher as your enemy. However, you are gifted with the power of insight. Though you may often be oblivious of it, when you are aware of it, you may tend to misuse it. You are a good communicator, a good orator and very witty, traits that can win you some really good friends. For a more personalised analysis of your nature, you might consider our birth chart-based product Personal Ask 3 Questions.

Gemini Key Planet: Mercury
The swiftest planet, and the closest to the sun, is your key planet Mercury. The speed with which it travels may be compared to your thoughts, providing the power behind your skills of oratory and the ability to wield your language most tactfully. However, it is the influence of Mercury that makes you fickle minded and restless. It drives you to talk and listen, but not to action.

Third House: Communication
The Third House influences your communication skills and all aspects related to it. It is responsible for all your interactions with people in your immediate vicinity, such as your family and close circle of friends. It is also suggestive of travel, whether official or personal. 

Gemini Element: Air
Your sign Gemini is a prominent Air sign, which suggest a constant state of flux. The Air constantly keeps changing directions, which might explain why you are so changeable. Actually, this can be put to positive use, and, indeed, you sometimes do. This suggests that you have the ability of approaching a problem from different directions, and selecting the best one in any given situation. However, you tend to get bored very easily, which has a direct bearing on your ability to concentrate.

Gemini Strength:
Yours is one of the most spirited signs of the Zodiac. You are also intelligent and adaptable. Your sense of humour and wit are contagious, and you are apt to be the life and soul of a party. 

Gemini Weakness:
Your greatest weakness is your inconsistency. This makes it very difficult for people to understand you. Also, because you keep changing your mind and stance, it can pose difficulties in your romantic relationships. You can greatly benefit from our personalised birth chart-based product Love and Marriage Prospects.

Gemini Relationship

As a Lover
The Gemini as a lover can be counted on to give you lots of fun. They are enthusiastic, fun-loving, and have a sharp intellect. The introductory chit-chat is just as important as the actual contact for this sign, and when it comes to wit, this sign holds nothing back. Flirtatious and curious, they will spend time with a lot of different lovers until they find one that can match their intellect and energy level. The Gemini needs to experience excitement, versatility, and stimulation to feel fully satisfied. Once the perfect match is found, though, they can settle into a lifestyle suitable for both for the long term.
Confused about your partner – whether you will gel or not, whether you are cut out for each other or not, etc.? Clear all your doubts with our Love ask A Question or Love Ask 3 Questions products. They are based on your Birth Chart, and 100 percent customised. 
As a Father
As a father, the Twins are loving and caring and treat their children as friends, which, of course, the children love. There will be absolutely no generation gap between a Gemini father and his children. His nature is very flexible, and he will give his children a lot of freedom to flourish, and to explore their talents to the hilt. However, from time to time, as he keeps a constant fatherly eye on his children, he will keep guiding them in the right direction. Perhaps his only drawback is that he seeks perfection in whatever his children choose to do. 
As a Mother
As a mother, the Gemini would be very much soft hearted and attached to her children and won’t be one of the strict parent as she will give her children liberty to live their lives their own way and would prefer to stay close to them as a friend, much like the Gemini father does. She is truly devoted to her children and even if she is working, she will not ignore her children, their studies or their games and hobbies. She wants all-round development for her children. 
As Children
As children, the Gemini individual will be very independent, says Ganesha. They will refuse to stay confined to one place or thing or friend, and may be very difficult to handle for parents who are too orthodox in their thinking and not flexible enough to understand them. These children do respect and love their parents but do not want their parents to interfere in their life. They will listen to their parents, they won’t rebel but will do only what they want to do, even it they have no clarity about what they want to do with their life and career. Unable to decide about your career? Get a Career Report to find out exactly what your personal stars say. Or, better still, Ask a Career Question, and clarify your doubts. Both the services are Birth Chart based and thus, 100% personalised. 
As a Boss
As a boss, the Gemini person would be quiet lenient, says Ganesha. He or she will not be a strict boss. They believe in healthy interaction between all departments and team-work, as well as to make work as much fun and interesting as possible. They will also invest in technology to make work as easy and efficient as possible for their employees. The Gemini boss will provide all the freedom to their junior but will strictly ask for good work and perfection. 
As a friend
The Geminis make good friends as they like to keep everyone in their circle happy, and wish to be in the good books of everyone. They will win everyone’s heart as they are the charm of the group and are loving at the core. They won’t stay away from appreciating others in friendship neither they will ever stand far at the time of need. They make good relations and possibly would have many friends around.

Gemini Lifestyle
Food for Gemini : The Twins need foods that keep their lungs and nervous system healthy. Spinach, tomatoes, oranges, green beans, celery, apricot, plums, carrots, cauliflower, coconut and wheat gram are good for them. They should lay off caffeinated or carbonated drinks and, of course, avoid smoking like the plague. The brain and nervous system are constantly working so they need to be sure to include some healthy “brain food” in their diet, such as fats like Omega-3 which are found in fish, avocados and walnuts. Get our product Personal Ask 3 Questions for more detailed prospects. This report is Birth Chart-based and hence 100 percent customised.

Gemini Physical Structure: The Twins are taller than average and slim with a pale complexion. They have bright eyes, light hair, thin nose, pointed chin and long arms, with an expression which conveys that they are in control of their situation, and relaxed. But they can change their expressions to suit the circumstances, and their best interests. Their speech is rapid but articulate. Their muscles are supple and slender. The limbs are often long like those of fashion models. Their look gives an impression of fineness and swiftness, with a seemingly controlled yet laid-back style.

Gemini Habits: The hyperactive Twins can sometimes develop this tendency to continuously bite their nails. This can make them seem to be extremely self-conscious and even anxious. Activities which keep their fingers busy like knitting or hitting the keyboard can help. Getting periodic manicures done can also help them overcome this habit. They hardly spend any time sorting out their finances, and then complain that they get stressed if they can’t pay their bills on time.

Gemini Health: The Twins are over-active, and prone to anxiety and insomnia caused by working too hard. They need to eat well and sleep well. They are prone to respiratory problems or asthma when young, and flu and viral infections as they grow older. Their arms and legs may also be afflicted by a restlessness sometimes, for which they should exercise regularly. Their health is usually delicate, but there is no cause for serious concern. They are always overexcited, and full of nervousness, which can cause stress. Get our product Depression for more detailed prospects. This report is Birth Chart-based and hence 100 percent customised. 
Gemini Beautyscope: The colours yellow and orange are most suitable for the Twins. The attractiveness of their bright eyes can be enhanced by applying mascara. Beige or brown lipstick add a touch of class to their persona. Miniskirts and sleeveless tops go well with their pale complexion. A Gemini will always end up wearing a lot of clothes and discarding them before wearing something totally different from the original choice. But, whatever they wear, they carry it off with style. They tend to have a large wardrobe. 
Positive Qualities:
Mental Brilliance, Diplomacy, Vivacity, Enthusiasm, Tact, Cheerfulness, Witty and Versatile.

Negative Qualities:
Prevaricate, Indecisive, Lazy and Untidy

Traits:
