Q1 Carrot is not the best food under these conditions: 1 *Allergic Reactions *Some people are hypersensitive to carrots and some common side effects among such people are skin rashes, diarrhea, anaphylactic reactions, hives, and swelling. Such allergies are caused due to the allergen present in carrot pollen.
*2 Causes Carotenemia *Carrots contain high levels of beta carotene, which gets converted into Vitamin A in the body. Heavy consumption of carrots leads to large amounts of carotene in your blood that causes Carotenemia which is a yellowish discoloration of the skin. *3 High In Sugar Contents *People with diabetes should avoid the consumption of carrot because of its high sugar content. The sugar in carrots is converted into glucose and this quickly raises the body’s sugar level. If you must consume carrot as a diabetic patient, it is best to consume steamed carrots in small amounts. *4 Changes Flavour Of Breast Milk *When you’re breastfeeding, anything you ingest will reach your baby. Breastfeeding moms should avoid drinking carrot juice in large quantities as studies have proven that carrot changes the flavour of breast milk <https://www.livestrong.com/article/551901-carrots-during-breastfeeding/>. *5 Unsafe For Infants *Some studies prove that carrots are unsafe for small children. That is why it is important to feed young babies only small portions of carrot. Q2 A quixotic question and so the answer. Our culture says that Macha, koorma , varahasya..... human was later; so there was a world of animals, birds and aquatics even without humans. Darwin also said the same thing. Moreover, the animals do not enter other territories, as humans do. Today we see they are visiting only their old joints, which we usurped from them. Q3 *Air conditioners cannot and do not purify air*. The air filter located near the return air duct or air handler does filter dust, pollen and other allergens. But it's a misconception that the air filter is a part of the air conditioner itself, rather air filters are a part of the entire HVAC system. Q4 Every country has similar descriptive panels which are not; USA is so rich and stay worthy and minimum wage is $48000 pa. But I was surprised to see in New York, a condominium near the Masacutes, occupied by the Afro-Americans, without current and bad living conditions 2 decades back; alo all the tallest buildings were on the opposite sides. Q5 Another useless q. Do you know that the flight foods are only contracted provisions loaded inside , to be distributed to passengers; the serving alone differs by their dressings. So after all eating that food by the employee is never a taboo. All attendants on us do not bring tiffin boxes. Q6 Nth time. Whatever as diabetic one eats are subjected o calories sufficient to body insulin available plus insulin medicines consumed can digest. So what is not broken by body enzymes, mixes only in blood. Then the burning part occurred. Exercise. If burnt well, readings are normal. Or else it can be shocking to the eyes as well as the body. So keep that in mind and self-realise what is needed and how much to maintain a good reading. Today many dietician advise eggs for break fast as great food for the diabetics especially the white part. Non diabetics veg may not like it; as brahmins one may reject them also. So food medicine and exercises are Tri-Gunas to balance the diabetic. Q7 The floatation principle states that *when an object floats in a liquid, the buoyant force acting on the object is equal to the object's weight*. The volume of fluid displaced equals the volume of the object immersed in the fluid. ( So it is not pot and bucket but conditional and and additional factor is gravity line. Q8 Bugs Bunny cartoon wala started that myth. Q9 No one asked why every where on earth churches and Masques were being built but......... Q10 Funny Many excavations in India shows such cleaning facility long ago without any bill being passed and the Q thinks only his nation did it. Q12 Piloting, navigating and driving have different concepts. Q13 Why India only?. As far as health complications go, insomnia is relatively prevalent. The condition currently affects millions of people every year. According to the American Sleep Association <https://www.sleepassociation.org/about-sleep/sleep-statistics/>: - Nearly 70 million Americans have a sleep disorder <https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/mental-health/sleep-disorders/> - Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, with 30% of adults experiencing short-term insomnia - About 10% of people have long-lasting insomnia - Almost 40% of people report accidentally falling asleep during the day - About 5% report falling asleep while driving Even though adults need at least seven hours of sleep per night, about 35% of people get less than that. Age appears to be linked to lack of sleep, with 37% of people age 20–39 reporting low sleep duration and 40% of people age 40–59 getting too little sleep. These insomnia prevalence rates are shocking considering the toll insomnia can take on mental and physical health. While the condition may seem benign, insomnia can have a dramatic effect on people’s daytime lives and even lead to death from accidents and decreased judgment. Q14 Healthiest food answers are not for India or Kerala or even Trivandrum; (because dates mentioned from UAE) . Food is one which is the best which is available around where one is residing Short.
