A1 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals14h Cauliflower belongs to the species Brassica oleracea, Brassicas containsmany common vegetables, such as broccoli, kale, cabbage and so on. Most cauliflowers are white, butthere are also orange, green, yellow, and purple varieties of cauliflower. Eating cauliflower can replenishvarious nutrients the body needs. Cauliflower is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, dietary fiber,vitamin A, carrots, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin P, vitamin U, andminerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. The carotene content of cauliflower is 7.5 times that of Chinese cabbage,the content of vitamin B2 is 1.8 times that of Chinese cabbage, and the calciumcontent is comparable to that of milk. Medical research shows that cauliflower is one of the vegetables with themost flavonoids. Flavonoids have anti-cancereffects. Long-termconsumption of broccoli can reduce the risk of breast cancer, rectal cancer andgastric cancer. Flavonoids can preventinfection and are the best blood vessel clearing agent.

Q2 Does any parent ever think about before becoming a parentthat maybe their kid's life will be worse than their life was? A2 GopalkrishnaVishwanath Lived 69 years so far. No regrets. Look forward to the best yearsnow. Thu Not me. I was confident my children would be better off in life than I was andthey in fact are. I was much better off than myparents. My parents were better off than my grandparents were. Two primary reasons: Technological, medical, andsocial progress. More income and fewer children. Availability of power, water, transport, medicines, medical services, andother conveniences like radio, TV, video, telephone, and internet and freeaccess to information will come under Technological and medical progress. Giving up some customs, like child marriages, bans on widow remarriages,education for girls, treatment of girls on par with boys, fewer cases of dowries,acceptance of inter caste, inter-religious marriages, and love marriages,better educational opportunities, and legal reforms, can be included undersocial progress. We are all economically betteroff than the previous generation. Both husband and wife earn these days unlike in the previous generationwhere wives stayed at home. Fewer children are being born today. My mother was one among five siblings and my father was one among four.My father-in-law was one among six, my mother-in-law was one among nine. I was one among three and my wife was one among four. I have two children. My daughter has just one son. My son is as yetunmarried. In my family, we all worked to give a better quality of life to thenext generation and we have been successful. Q3 Does soda (coca cola) actually "dehydrate" you?Despite being unhealthy, can it still hydrate you like water would? A3 Steven Haddock Studiedat York University (Canada)Tue It’s a myth that colas and other sugary sodas will“dehydrate” you even though they contain a pinch of salt and a lot of sugar.They’re still 99% water. In fact, recent studies have shown that sugary sodas are actually betterfor rehydration if you’re very thirsty because they do contain electrolytesthat assist the digestive system into absorbing the water in them. Water is still the best choice for hydration, but if you’ve beenphysically active it’s not. If you’re severely dehydrated, as from food poisoning, it’s one of theworst choices. You should go with Pedialyte or something similar because thoseelectrolytes are important to keep you healthy when you’re dehydrated.There’s a reason why athletes use Gatorade - it helps keep their energyreserves up when they’ve been using their muscles a lot.

Q5 In a bank, if I keep 10 crores of a fixed deposit, howmuch will I get per month? A5 Prasanna Bhalerao M.Sc. in Electronics & Physics, Fergusson College, Pune7h A bank fixed deposit pays interest on maturity. So you won't get anything permonth directly because monthly payout didn't exist. But you cancalculate the total interest arranged monthly on your ₹10crore by dividing the total interest paid out by the tenure months. Currentinterest rates as of 31-Dec-2021 hover around 5% in most banks (actually it is4.9% in major banks and higher if deposit is kept for 2 years or more).Corporative banks and some private sector banks may pay more interest. My note- Many pensioners desire quarterly interestif their deposits are for larger amounts ,from thebanks Q6 Is an MBBS doctor legal for performing hair transplants? A6 Mrs Lili Basu Biswas Educatingpeople about the real root causes of issues. Dec 20 As per I know , a MBBS doctorhas all legal rights to treat a patient under his capabilities and knowledge. But in case of any misfortunes, hecannot defend himself. He would be ac accountable for medical negligence. If a person has licensed gun but it does not means he would give threatwith it or fire anywhere but putting public life under threat . Similar a MBBS doctor haslicense to treat patients but it does not means he has rights to treat apatient which is not under his capabilities. Q7 There are Hindu rituals that involve the peepal tree butif there are no peepal trees where someone lives, what are the alternatives? A7 Devala Rees Mon Those rituals are all optional. If there are no peepal trees where someone lives, they can simply notperform those specific rituals, or travel to do so. If one really wants to worship the holy peepal tree but doesn’t have anyaround, one could also invoke the Aswattha Deva, thespirit of the peepal tree, into some other plant, ideally some other species officus, and do the ritual that way. This is similar to how Hindu rituals sometimes invoke the spirits of holy rivers into anywater to worship them, even if the water was not physically drawn fromthose rivers. It’s an unideal alternative - the real thing is better - but itmay do in a pinch. Q8 What is the difference between Studying Smarter and StudyingHarder?

A10 Piotr Marciniak Workedat Armies (non-specific) (2013–2015) Mon Yes, its true. The reasoningbehind that is Contraction business. When you want to build a building you need concrete. However to use concreteyou need as well as water and sand. But not every kind of sand isthe same. Saudi Arabia importsan “beach” sand. The type of sand that had been created by water flows. It havea different build than desert sand, which is useless for construction. The erosion made by water makessand grains more “edgy"while wind erosion (desert) makes grains smooth. Therefore desert sand will notconnect with other items, like concrete at all, or not like “beach" sand. All the above QA are from Quora website on 31-12- 2021. Compiledand posted by R.
