Q1 What happens if youonly eat fruits for a week? A1 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals13h Fruits are an important part of a healthy diet, and eating them regularlycan bring many health benefits to the body. Fruits are nutritious and contain various vitamins, minerals, dietaryfiber, carbohydrate and natural antioxidants. As we all know, protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, fiberand water are the seven essential nutrients for the human body every day. If the body is deficient in any of these seven nutrients, symptoms ofmalnutrition will appear. Almost no protein in the vastmajority of fruits. Proteinsare the main building blocks of all cells, and it also provides the amino acidsthat keep the body functioning. Long-term protein deficiencycan lead to many health problems, such as malnutrition, tiredness, low immunity, muscle wasting, hairloss, puffiness and other symptoms. In addition, fruits are alsolow in fat, vitamin B1, omega-3fatty acids, and minerals such as iron and zinc, and lack of these nutrientscan also cause various health problems. Q2 Besides Parkinson’sdisease, are there any other illnesses, diseases, or medications that can causehand tremors? A2 Ken Saladin Textbookauthor and professor emeritus 20h A close friend of mine has had hand tremors since his early or mid-teenyears. His hand tremors had become so pronounced that I was worried that he hadParkinson disease, but heexplained that it’s a disorder called essential tremor that merelymimics the hand tremors without any of the other degenerative effects ofparkinsonism. Essential tremor (ET) is a neurological disorder thatcauses your hands, head, trunk, voice or legs to shake rhythmically. It isoften confused with Parkinson's disease. Essential tremor is the mostcommon trembling disorder. Everyonehas at least a small degree of tremor, but the movements usually cannotbe seen or felt because the tremor is so small. When tremors are noticeable,the condition is classified as essential tremor. Essential tremor is most common among people older than65, but it can affect people at any age. Some experts have proposedconsidering ET that starts earlier in life as essential tremor and ET thatbegins later in life as age-related tremor, because the conditions may havedifferent symptoms and may respond differently to treatments.[1] He is now somewhere in the 68–75 age bracket, I think, and he’s sufferingone of the common consequences of this in older people: neurogenic bladder. Hislatest prognosis is that he may have to use a catheter for life. He told me hisdoctor said he may never be able to empty his bladder naturally for the rest ofhis life. Footnotes [1] Essential Tremor Disorder Q3 Why do rats, for example,have multiple species but humans only have one? A3 Claire Jordan Degreein biology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper14h Rats adapt to new environmentsby becoming new sorts of rat. Humans adapt to new environments by making newclothes and tools. Also, humans travel around more. About 50,000-300,000 years ago there were multiple humanspecies all alive at the same time, but modern humans travelled allover the world, and either out-competed other human species or in many caseshybridised with and absorbed them, fusing them into one. And that one cannot split upagain into separate species because we keep on travelling around and minglingour genes, and any new types that develop in isolated areas soon getstirred back into the pot. Q4 Why are plantsecretions called hormones if they don't have an endocrine gland? Why areexocrine secretions not called hormones? A4 Ken Saladin Formerprofessor of histology (microscopic anatomy)Wed Endocrine secretions (hormones)could be thought of more broadly as signaling molecules produced in one part ofthe body (animal or plant),carried in the body fluids, binding to receptors on target cells remote fromthe emitting cells, and exerting a physiological effect on the target cells. But, too, plant hormones mightbe more comparable to animal (including human) paracrine secretions than toanimal hormones. Animalparacrines don’t travel in the blood but just diffuse to, and effect, othercells close to the cells that secrete them. Their origin and action are in thesame tissue. Q5 Did the ancientEgyptians live on high-calorie bread and beer? A5 Matt Riggsby MAArchaeological Studies, Boston UniversityJan 7 I’m not sure what’s supposed to distinguish “high-calorie bread” from anyother kind of bread. Imean, ancient Egyptian bread was mostly just grain. It didn’t have a lotof added sugars or fats that might increase the caloric content over that, soas breads go, it wasn’t notably high in calories, though on a pound for poundbasis, bread has more calories than vegetables. Anyway, that’s true-ish but very, very simplified. Most ancientEgyptians, like most other people living in early civilizations, or indeed mostcivilizations into the modern era, lived on diets in which they got most oftheir calories from grain-based dishes. In the case of the Egyptians, it was typically bread,though it might be consumed in the form of gruel or beer as well;Egyptian beer was unfiltered, so you got the grain content from which it wasfermented as well as the alcohol. This diet was supplemented by secondary cropslike onions, legumes like lentils and chickpeas, olives, figs, dates, sesame,and so on, and occasionally by fish and meat. Q6 What is KumbhaAbhishekam? A6 Rami Sivan Priest,Dharma teacher, counsellor, Gov. Advisor (1998–present)Jan 11 Kumbha means the pot - and refers to the pot of ambrosia (amritam). Abhishekammeans a bathing or lustration. The term refers to theelaborate ceremonies of the consecration of an Agamic Temple. The Kumbha or Kalasha being the Golden Pot which is the finial ofthe temple dome and points towards space and signifies the nectar ofimmortality. The consecration ceremony lastfrom 3 to 40 days depending on the size of the temple, the number of shrines and the financial status of the temple,after the numerous day long rituals and as a culmination, the chief priest islifted by a cherry picker nowadays, to enable him to pour the sacred watersover the kumbha as an act of final consecration. This is the“kumbha-abhishekam” and the water is so holy that devotees believed them tosupremely blessed to have this water sprinkle down upon them. It is theequivalent of bathing in the Ganga wherever in the world one may be. All one’ssins are effaced. The Kumbha Abhishekam isrelated to the Kumbha-Mela and is a reconsecration ceremony performed for Agamic temples every 12 years to renew the temple’s energy andto purge the accumulation of negativity. Q7 Why does thesympathetic system decrease insulin? A7 Ken Saladin Formerprofessor of histology (microscopic anatomy)22h This is a subject of research and can be found in several articles inGoogle Scholar, although the ones I found in a brief search were only abstractsand the full articles were behind paywalls.One answer that comes to mind,though—perhaps incomplete and too simplistic—is this: The sympathetic nervous systemis responsible for the so-called “fight or flight” response to prepare the bodyfor heightened physical exertion. Part of this response is to liberate glucose from storage, raising blood sugarlevel so it can be used as fuel by the muscles, brain, and heart. Insulin has exactly theopposite effect—it promotes glucose uptake and storage, so it lowers blood sugar. It would deprive those vital organs of thisvital fuel just when they need it the most. Q8 Which operation of thewashing machine consumes maximum electricity: wash rinse, spin or drain? A8 Michael Grimshaw,In-Home Appliance Repair Technician, 16 years.Answered Dec 1, 2015 Either wash or spin. Bothoperations use the same motor. Wash lasts longer, but spin uses moreelectricity per second. Onthe other hand, the faster the clothes spin, the more dry they will be whenentering the dryer. It costs a lot of energy to evaporate water. Which meansmuch of the energy efficiency of a high-efficiency washer happens in the spincycle. 2nd answer PrateekRana, Founder www.laundryanna.com Answered Dec 13, 2015 Let's look at what consumes electricity in a typical washing machine. 1. Motor to rotate the drum while washing, rinsing or spin.2. Heatingcoil to heat the water in case of hot wash cycle.3. Water pump used to drainthe soiled water.Sincemost of the duration of the complete cycle goes in washing front andreverse motion by the motor and add the power consumed for heating water we cansafely derive that thisfunction [washing] uses the maximum electricity. 3rd answer- Ankur Mishra , Expertise in Washing machines, RACand Refrigerators Answered Dec 4, 2015 Wash and rinse functionconsumes more electricity ,asthere are always clockwise and anticlockwise motion involved in it due to whichmotor initial torque requires more current. Q9 Are there mountains inAustralia? A9 Andrew McGregor Livedin AustraliaJan 27 There are. Not enormous ones, but enough tomake it hard to travel in some areas. Come face to face with either of those views, and you are going to haveto take a detour to keep going in that direction. It’s not New Zealand, or theAlps, or the Rockies… but there’s enough to be a geographical barrier, andthere are alpine ecosystems. Q10 How is it living inSingapore with S$72,000 annually?
