Q1 What happens if I don't consume saltfor 10 days? A1 Lucia Garcia Worked at Hospitals Fri Sodium in salt is an essential nutrient for body's nutrientabsorption, muscle movement, nerve transmission, cardiopulmonary function andmetabolism. The main componentof salt is sodium chloride, of which 39% is sodium and 61% is chlorine. Saltmakes up about 0.5% of your body weight. Salt is broken downin the body into sodium and chloride ions. Sodium maintains intracellular andextracellular fluid balance and helps regulate nerve and muscle function. If You Do Not Eat Salt for 10 Days, the osmotic pressureinside and outside the cells will be out of balance, water will enter the cellscausing the cells to swell and possible burst. At this time, it ismost likely to experience symptoms such as cerebral edema. In mild cases, therewill be disturbances of consciousness, including fatigue, dizziness, lethargy,and trance. In severe cases, shock, coma and even death may occur. The WHO recommended sodium intake for adults is 2 grams per day,which is equivalent to 5 grams of salt, about 1 teaspoon.

It lives only for15 years compared to other trees which live 50 to 200 years , this is a veryshort life time. It thus grows very fast, around 1 metre in height everyday.

A10 Balaji Viswanathan History buff Thu Kuru kingdom. My note- Lengthyinformative answer. Kindly read at leisure time or skip withthe above brief answer The oldestcivilization known in India so far is the Indus valley civilization thatextended all across India 5300 years ago. Indus Valley Civilisation - Wikipedia Bronze Agecivilisation in South Asia Miniature votive images or toy models from Harappa ,c. 2500 BCE. Terracotta figurines indicate the yoking of zebu oxen for pullinga cart and the presence of the chicken , a domesticated jungle fowl. The IndusValley Civilisation ( IVC ), also known as the Harappan civilisation or Induscivilisation , [1] was a Bronze Age civilisation in the northwestern regions ofSouth Asia , lasting from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE, and in its mature form from2600 BCE to 1900 BCE. [a] Togetherwith ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia , it was one of three early civilisations ofthe Near East and South Asia , and of the three, the mostwidespread, its sites spanning an area stretching from today's northeastAfghanistan , through much of Pakistan , and into western and northwesternIndia . [3] [b] Itflourished in the basins of the Indus River , which flows through the length ofPakistan, and along a system of perennial, mostly monsoon -fed, rivers thatonce coursed in the vicinity of the seasonal Ghaggar-Hakra river in northwestIndia and eastern Pakistan. [2] [4] The civilisation's cities werenoted for their urban planning , baked brick houses, elaborate drainagesystems, water supply systems, clusters of large non-residential buildings, andnew techniques in handicraft ( carnelian products, seal carving) and metallurgy( copper , bronze , lead, and tin). [5] The large cities of Mohenjo-daro andHarappa very likely grew to contain between 30,000 and 60,000 individuals, [6]and the civilisation itself during its florescence may have contained betweenone and five million individuals. [7] Gradual drying of the region's soil during the 3rdmillennium BCE may have been the initial spur for the urbanisation associatedwith the civilisation, but eventually weaker monsoons and reduced water supplycaused the civilisation's demise, and caused its population to scatter eastwardand southward. [c] TheIndus civilisation is also known as the Harappan Civilisation , after its typesite , Harappa, the first of its sites to be excavated early in the 20thcentury in what was then the Punjab province of British India and is now inPakistan. [8] [d] Thediscovery of Harappa and soon afterwards Mohenjo-daro was the culmination ofwork beginning in 1861 with the founding of the Archaeological Survey of Indiaduring the British Raj . [9] There were however earlier and latercultures often called Early Harappan and Late Harappan in the same area; forthis reason, the Harappan civilisation is sometimes called the Mature Harappanto distinguish it from these other cultures. By 2002, over 1,000 Mature Harappan cities and settlementshad been reported, of which just under a hundred had been excavated.[10] [e] [12] [13] However, there are only five major urban sites: [14] [f]Harappa, Mohenjo-daro (declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980 as"Archaeological Ruins at Moenjodaro"), Dholavira (declared a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site in 2021 as "Dholavira: A It is unlikely thatsuch a massive civilization extending over 3 million square kilometers withcentralized system & standards would have come together without a strongempire or kingdom. However, we don’t yet know the specifics of their governancestructure. The oldest kingdom for which we evidence is the Kurukingdom, ruling from Hastinapur 1200 BCE ca. We have got bothliterary evidence for this kingdom and archeological evidence in the form ofPainted Greyware (PGW). Kuru Kingdom - Wikipedia Ancient Indian Kingdom Kuru ( Sanskrit : कुरु ) was a Vedic Indo-Aryan tribal union innorthern Iron Age India , encompassing the modern-daystates of Delhi , Haryana , Punjab and some parts of western Uttar Pradesh ,which appeared in the Middle Vedic period [2] (c. 1200 – c. 900 BCE) anddeveloped into the first recorded state-level society in the Indian subcontinent. [3] [4] [5] The Kurukingdom decisively changed the religious heritage of the early Vedic period,arranging their ritual hymns into collections called the Vedas , and developingnew rituals which gained their position in Indian civilization as the Srautarituals, [3] which contributed to the so-called "classicalsynthesis" [5] or "Hindu synthesis" . [6] It became the dominantpolitical and cultural center of the middle Vedic Period during the reigns of Parikshit andJanamejaya , [3] but declined in importance during the late Vedicperiod (c. 900 – c. 500 BCE) and had become "something of abackwater" [5] by the Mahajanapada period in the 5th century BCE. However, traditions and legendsabout the Kurus continued into the post-Vedic period, providing thebasis for the Mahabharata epic. [3] The main contemporary sources forunderstanding the Kuru kingdom are the Vedas , containing details of lifeduring this period and allusions to historical persons and events. [3] Thetime-frame and geographical extent of the Kuru kingdom (as determined byphilological study of the Vedic literature) suggest its correspondence with thearchaeological Painted Grey Ware culture . [5] History [ edit ] The Kuru clan was formed inthe Middle Vedic period [1] [2] (c. 1200 – c. 900 BCE) as a result ofthe alliance and merger between the Bharata and other Puru clans, in theaftermath of the Battle of the Ten Kings . [3] [7] With their center of powerin the Kurukshetra region, the Kurus formed the first political center of the Vedic period, andwere dominant roughly from 1200 to 800 BCE. Thefirst Kuru capital was at Āsandīvat, [3] identified with modern Assandh inHaryana . [8] [9] Later literature refers to Indraprastha (identified withmodern Delhi )and Hastinapura as the main Kuru cities. [3] TheKurus figure prominently in Vedic literature after the time of the Rigveda .The Kurus here appear asa branch of theearly Indo-Aryans, ruling the Ganga-Yamuna Doab and modern Haryana.The focus in the later Vedic period shifted out of Punjab, into the Haryana andthe Doab, and thus to the Kuru clan. [10] This trend corresponds to theincreasing number and size of Painted Grey Ware (PGW) settlements in theHaryana and Doab area. Archaeological surveys of the Kurukshetra District havea revealed a more complex (albeit not yet fully urbanized) three-tieredhierarchy for the period of period from 1000 to 600 BCE, suggesting a complexchiefdom or emerging early state, contrasting with the two-tiered settlementpattern (with some "modest central places", suggesting the existenceof simple chiefdoms ) in the rest Thiswas also the oldest kingdom whose coins we have now. This is the silvercurrency that is a little disfigured now after 3000 years. The current date assigned to the Kuru kingdom is to 1200BCE, although I believe it could be much older than that.In Bhagwanpur near Kurkshetra (the place of the Mahabharata war) there areruins of circa 1500 BCE palaces. Here, artifacts of Indus Valley culture andthe Aryan PGW culture of the same period are found side by side. Given that we are now unearthing Harappan and Aryancivilization ones of the same period in the same location, it is quite possiblethat we will be identifying the missing link thatcould alter the way we look at Indian civilization. It is likely that we arenot looking at two independent civilizations. At this point, the Kuru kingdom dated to the 1200 BCE isthe oldest agreed Indian kingdom.
