Q1 Whatfoods are healthier than you think? A1 Astha Johri ClinicalNutrition ConsultantUpdated November 18, 2017 There are a lot of foods that people completely exclude from their diets,because of mere misconceptions. A very prominent reason behind this is we don’ttrust what we have been hearing from our elders (who used to be much healthierthan us), but we trust people who somewhere somehow decides to write a blog orupload a video saying something based on their personal experience. The basic idea behind this is, just be natural. Below are some foods that arehealthier than you think. Milk Products: Milk productsare rich inCarbohydrates and Fats and this is the reason why a lot people exclude dairyproducts from their diet. However the fact is, milk products are a very richsource of good quality protein, calcium, CLA, phosphorous, Vitamin B12 andvarious other vitamins too. Low fat milk and milk products (when taken in smallquantity in 3-4 servings a day) are good for fat loss as well as overall wellbeing. Ghee: “Ghee is never a part ofour diets” this is a statementthat I come to hear very often. But my question is, “why”! People take liquor, eat pizzas, burgers, high calorie desserts may beonce or twice a week, and they consider it a necessary part of their sociallife. But they are very happy about nothaving ghee in their diet.While, ghee is very good for joints, provides a lot of strength, gives satiety,very beneficial for hair and skin and has many other benefits. The only thing to control is theamount of ghee in a day. One teaspoon of ghee is safe for mostadults (excepting medical conditions) and upto 2 teaspoons for most kids. Seasonal Vegetables: Peoplespend a lot of money buyingexotic vegetables like broccoli, bell peppars, zuchhini etc as they think theyare much healthier than our Lauki, Tori etc. However the fact is adding exoticvegetables for a change is fine, but they are not better than our traditionalvegetables. These exotic vegetables are good to raise our metabolism, butmetabolism can be raised by several other ways too. Eat all kind of vegetables,focus more on the traditional ones as they are fresh and more easily available(so there are no chances of adulteration or any processing). Seasonal Fruits: It’s notnecessary to buy overpricedfruits like kiwi, coated apples, avocados, blueberries etc, just because somepeople say they are healthy. They are good, but our traditional fruits likeKashmiri Apples, riped bananas, grapefruits etc are better as they are fresh.Do not buy fruits from shopkeepers who guarantees you over-sweetened fruits,and all their fruits taste similarly over- sweetened. Secondly, people think eatingmangoes and bananasis a crime specially for diabetics. Whereas bananas are very good for joints,skin, immunity, increasing hemoglobin as they are a very good source of iron,folate, niacin, riboflavin, B6. Mangoes too are good for digestion and bonehealth. Now here again, you need to check the quantity that you are consuming,its’s good to have them in small quantities. Even a person who is diabetic, hascontrolled sugars and loves mangoes or bananas can have half a banana or 2slices of mangoes preferably in the morning time occasionally. Rice: Do not omit rice fromyour diet, rather have themin controlled serving. Riceis loaded with a lot of nutrients which includes magnesium,phosphorus, manganese, selenium, iron, folic acid, thiamine and niacin. Just donot consume any cereal in large quantity in one meal, it should be divided indifferent servings. Also, it is good to use variety of cereals in differentmeals like rice, jowar, bajra, ragi, wheat flour etc. Rice is very good iftaken with pulses and a little ghee. Soyabean/ Dal: Most males thinkthat having soy proteinat all in their diet, adversely affect their testosterone levels. However thefact is taking soy protein exclusively as a supplement or having dals and soyabeanin abnormally high amounts on regular basis reduces the testosterone levels.But soy protein has a PDCAAS score of 1 just like whey, and is easilydigestible good quality protein. Consuming them in controlled amounts i.e. 2servings of dal or soyabean once a day is completely fine & infactbeneficial for everybody. Coconut/ Coconut Oil: Coconutand coconut oil has beena part of our tradition since long. They are rich in fats, but the kind of fatsthey have are good foryour heart, skin, immunity and overall health when consumed as per recommendeddosage. Many researches show that having 5 g of extra virgin coconutoil or having small piece of coconut a day is extremely beneficial for overallwell being. Oils & Fats: Just thinkdeeply, if fats would have beenthat bad then why do they form an essential part of our diet. The truth isanything consumed in a proper amount and correct manner is good for maintainingweight as well as overall well being. Do not heat the oils too much whilecooking as they develop trans fatty acids at such high temperatures or whenreheated. The best way to consume oil is simply boil the vegetables and addlittle oil later. If you want to restrict fat in diet, avoid having saltedbutter, cheese, mayonnaise etc on regular basis. Do not restrict foodsunnecessarily, just choose the right food in right quantity. Q2 Whatis Qbank/exam-based learning?

A3 Stephan Kleynhans Behavioral Optometrist July 1 There are what we call “corrective glasses”. These are usually prescribed forpeople who have “accommodative disorders” or early signs of stress inducedmyopia. If your prescription is -2.00 for example though, then “No”. They will correct your focus butnot the mismatch of the shape of your eye with regards to your eyeball-length.Good news though, many people who are short sighted experience reduction intheir prescriptions between the age of 30 and 40. >From 40 onwards thoughclose vision gets worse for everyone. Children who arelongsighted though will also most likely experience improvement in their visionwith age as the eyeball continues to grow. Many of then might need glasses in their early years butwill eventually outgrow them. Q4 Whatare the effects of excessive extraction of groundwater? 2 Answers Adv. Sarika , Self-employed at Adv.

A traditional gas stove isfreestanding, which makes the appliance Sit on the kitchen platform, takingadditional height space between the platform and overhead cabinets. Modern gas hobs, on the other hand, have a sleek built-in design, which sits level on your kitchenplatform. This built-in design not only makes it super easy to loadand unload utensils but also enables quick cleaning. While a gas stove only comes with basic on and off functions, gas hobscome with a host of features that simplify cooking in the kitchen. You can getamazing features, especially if you opt for reputed brands such as HafeleAppliances. I am using their Vortex 378 built-in gas hob , which comes with 3top-notch brass burners. These burners emit a flame that adapts to the shape ofa pot or pan placed on it to uniformly distribute the flame and give you evenlycooked delicious food. Besides this, you can also expect auto ignition, cast ironpan supports with heat protectors, high standard flame safety, and much more! My note- My daughter in law hasinstalled gas hob in herflat.
