Pakistan saddened by British PM Cameron's remarks

Pakistan said on Thursday it was "saddened" by remarks by British Prime Minister David Cameron that it was exporting terror, adding these did not reflect ground realities.

Pakistan is a key ally of the United States whose help is crucial for US efforts to stabilise neighbouring Afghanistan.

Pakistan saddened by British PM Cameron's remarks

Cameron's remarks, made on Wednesday during a visit to Pakistan's arch-rival India, came days before an expected visit by Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari to Britain.

The Pakistani foreign ministry said Zardari would visit Britain despite Cameron's remarks.

"Obviously, we are saddened by Prime Minister Cameron's remarks in Bangalore to an Indian audience. These remarks are contrary to the facts on the ground," Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Basit told a news briefing.

Basit said Cameron's remarks were prompted by classified US military reports published by the whistle-blowing WikiLeaks Website. Some of of the classified reports appear to reveal that Pakistan secretly aided Taliban militants while taking billions of dollars in US aid.

"You can never draw the right conclusions from misguided reports," Basit said.

"We should not be creating unnecessary hype around these reports and get distracted."

The 77,000 classified documents tangentially deal with Pakistan and the alleged involvement of its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency in the Afghan insurgency.

India Bandh to Affect Tourists on July 5 | all-India strike on July 5 | Bharat Bandh

Monday will be a good day to take some rest at your hotel. From 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Monday, the whole of India will grind to a halt for the Bharat Bandh -- a nationwide strike called by some of India's political parties to protest against the rising cost of fuel.

Some states are likely to be affected more than others, depending on which political parties are in power. These states include Kerala, West Bengal, Tripura (in the north east region), Maharastra, Himachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Uttarakhand and Gujarat.

The supply of essential services, such as water, milk, electricity, hospital and emergency services will be exempt from the strike. However, schools and businesses will be forced to close. Public transport will also be affected. Those that don't comply with the strike face vandalism and violence from patrolling political party representatives.

Although the Supreme Court declared that this type of strike is "illegal and unconstitutional" over a decade ago in India, the reality is that the desires of political parties continue to dominate. So, do be prepared!

Want to keep the weight off? Get on your bike

Just five minutes of riding a bicycle each day can help a younger woman keep the pounds off, U.S. researchers have reported in a study offering one potentially easy way to help Americans slim down.

The heaviest women benefited the most, the team at the Harvard School of Public Health and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston reported. "Small daily increments in bicycling helped women control their weight. But the more time women spent bicycling, the better," said Harvard's Rania Mekary, who worked on the study.

"Women with excess weight appeared to benefit the most. This is encouraging for women with weight problems because they could substitute bicycling for slow walking or car driving."

The research could help public policymakers trying to find ways to slow the U.S. obesity epidemic, the researchers wrote in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese and 16 percent of children and adolescents are overweight.

The accompanying disease burden costs billions and President Barack Obama has assigned his wife Michelle Obama and cabinet secretaries to find ways to counter this trend. Their plan includes changes to neighborhoods and cities to make it easier for Americans to exercise.

Mekary's team studied 18,414 healthy women who had not yet gone through menopause taking part in the Brigham and Women's Hospital-based Nurses' Health Study, an ongoing study of women's health over time.

On average, the nurses gained about 20 pounds (9.3 kilograms) over the 16-year period. The women who did not bicycle in 1989 who had started by 2005 were a quarter less likely to have gained weight, even if they rode for just five minutes a day, the researchers said.

Comparatively, women who started out exercising on bikes for more than 15 minutes day in 1989 but who slacked off over time gained weight. Overweight and obese women who were bicycling just two or three hours a week were 56 percent less likely to gain weight.

"Unlike discretionary gym time, bicycling could replace time spent in a car for necessary travel of some distance to work, shops or school as activities of daily living," the researchers wrote. "Bicycling could then be an unconscious form of exercise because the trip's destination, and not the exercise, could be the goal."

Beetroot juice lowers blood pressure

The nitrate content of beetroot juice can lower blood pressure levels, says a study.

The researchers of Queen Mary University of London found that blood pressure (BP) was lowered within 24 hours in people who took nitrate tablets and people who drank beetroot juice.

The research is a welcome news for people with high BP as they can now use a 'natural' approach to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (including stroke and heart attacks) - the world's biggest killer.



Study author Amrita Ahluwalia, professor of Vascular Biology at Queen Mary's said: "The investigation was able to demonstrate that the nitrate found in beetroot juice had beneficial effects upon cardiovascular health by increasing the levels of the nitric-oxide in blood."

"We gave inorganic nitrate capsules or beetroot juice to healthy volunteers and compared their blood pressure responses and the biochemical changes occurring in the circulation," she added, according to a university release.

These findings were published online in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension.
