Food classification and quantity

Food classification and quantity


To give strength to the body, to keep the body moving, to make the body healthy, we have to take food from external sources. We walk, sit, jump, play, work. In this case, the body gets the necessary energy from food. Our physical organs are also weakened, they are damaged. Therefore, food is also needed to compensate for that. In short, food does the following.



Food classification

Depending on the function of the nutrients obtained from the food, it can be divided into three parts.


One, substances that provide energy for physical development, growth, and biological function


Two, bodybuilding nutrients


Three, health-promoting substances


Variety of balanced diet


Different people need different amounts of nutrients in their food according to their different functions.


Age - In childhood, when the body develops, the child needs more fat and protein. In old age the digestive system is weakened, then the need for these elements decreases.


Climate: Cold-prone countries use more heat than summer-prone countries. Therefore, more food is required than expected in a cold country.


Gender - Women need less food than men.


Exercise - Excessive energy or heat loss in the body of a person who does physical exertion. More food is needed to make up for that.


These are the basic things about food. Our physical condition also determines why we eat, how much we eat, and how we eat. However, we should eat as much as the body needs. We should eat food that can be easily digested.


Catering formula


1. Eat fresh, nutritious, balanced, and digestible food.


2. As much as possible, let's eat our own cooked food. At least eat cooked at home.


3. Eat at least four or five meals a day. Eating more often but in smaller amounts helps the digestive system.


4. Try to diversify your diet throughout the day. Eat a balanced diet.


5. Let's make breakfast compulsory in the morning. Don't eat too much after sunset in the evening.


6. Emphasis should be placed on seasonal and natural foods.

Get enough sleep: neither too much nor too little


Whether it is modern development or lifestyle or globalization, all these have disturbed our sleep. The World Health Organization (WHO) says the global human community's sleep is being disturbed in recent years. The modern economy has changed the schedule of most people.

Insomnia or lack of adequate sleep has increased the risk of many chronic diseases and problems such as stress and restlessness. Thus, with sleep deprivation, various mental problems have started to appear. There are more than 80 types of sleep disorders. Also, it causes problems like heart attack, depression, high blood pressure, memory loss.


That is why sleep does not come


Most of us know that getting enough sleep is essential for good health. Despite knowing this, we are not getting enough sleep. Not only the busyness of work but also social networks like Facebook have disturbed our sleep.


We don't do any exercise before going to bed, we drink ice cream, dessert, or hot coffee. It affects sleep. It is better to do light exercise but not hard exercise which makes you feel tired.

Who is afraid of a heart attack?

Who is afraid of a heart attack?


Many now have high blood pressure, obesity, and cholesterol problems. These problems increase the risk of a heart attack.


However, winter weather is not considered favorable for heart patients. External cold causes the nerves to constrict or constrict. This causes difficulty in blood flow. Whose direct burden falls on the heart. Several factors increase the risk of a heart attack in winter.



A blockage in the blood vessels to the heart can lead to a heart attack. There are three main causes of blood vessel obstruction.


- Fat accumulates in the blood vessels


- The tube is broken


- If the blood pressure rises and affects the heart


Signs of a heart attack


Acute chest pain is generally considered to be a sign of a heart attack. However, this is not the only sign of a heart attack. Even before a heart attack, there are other signs on the skin that we can be aware of. When the health of the heart is disturbed, various signs start appearing on the skin. By recognizing the sign and being alert in time, the potential danger can be avoided.


If small bumps suddenly appear on any part of the body, it indicates that you have heart disease. This is seen when the level of cholesterol in the body increases. Therefore, one should be careful after such a sudden appearance.


It looks like a sack that encloses with a drawstring. For some, it may even look like a frozen candle. In addition to the eyes, such slippery hands and feet can also appear. If you have these symptoms, your cholesterol is out of control. This can increase the risk of a heart attack at any time.


Be careful if the skin on any part of your body looks blue or purple, as it is a sign of an unhealthy heart. Such symptoms often appear around the toes. A blue, purple rash on the skin means that there are blood clots in any part of your body and not enough oxygen. When blood accumulates in an artery, the artery becomes blocked, which can lead to a heart attack.


Swelling of the upper part of your finger can also be a sign of a heart attack. Swelling of the nails is usually a sign of a heart infection or other disease. Sometimes lung problems also show such symptoms. However, all of these signs can cause a heart attack.


Be careful if you suddenly see a blue or purple mark under your finger. It also indicates heart disease. Of course, such a Nissan injury may also appear. However, if there are no injuries, you should see a doctor immediately. If it looks like a small sore on your hand or toe and it is painful, it is also a sign of heart disease.

8 ways to protect yourself from covid infection in cold

8 ways to protect yourself from covid infection in cold


The cold weather has already begun. The coronavirus, which is believed to be more active in cold weather, has affected the lives of ordinary Nepalis at this time. There is a situation where one cannot walk freely.


Corona infection can also be transmitted to a friend who lives in your own home or works in an office. That is a state of anxiety for both. But in this case, what can we do to avoid infection from a friend?



1. Check


If someone in your home has been confirmed to have a corona infection, it is best to get tested for corona immediately. The medical director of Los Angeles, Dr. Scott Branstein says: "Even though we have a negative test report, we still have to look at ourselves as potentially infected, rather than thinking we're safe." If someone tells you not to take the test until you see the symptoms, you have to stay in quarantine for 14 days. If he shows no symptoms for two weeks, he may feel safe until then.


2. Restrict contact


Officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the only way to avoid the epidemic is to limit contact.


A person who is infected with corona should be kept as separate as possible from others. If possible, separate bedrooms and toilets can be provided for corona infections.


Even when staying at home, you should keep a distance of 3 feet with your family members. According to experts, reducing contact means that even if you come close to the infected person in some way, there will be no severe infection.


You can also take full care of a person infected with corona but enter their location as needed. For example, bringing food to the infected person from a distance, not staying in the same room with the infected person for a long time, only going to the infected person's room using safety equipment, etc.


3. Do not obstruct airflow


Always keep the windows and doors of your living room open. This means that a possible corona infection brought by someone in a room should not be transmitted to other people in the same room.


4. Wear a mask


The mask is essential for both infected and non-infected parties. The World Health Organization has mentioned the criteria of the mask and the way it is worn. Doctors say that even if you wear a disciplined mask according to the criteria, you can avoid coronavirus infection to a great extent. ‘All members of the household, especially the infected person, should be encouraged to wear mandatory masks. The mask helps prevent infections that can come from an infected person's nose and mouth.


However, wearing a mask does not guarantee 100 percent protection against the contraction of the coronavirus. But to a large extent, it helps prevent corona. Doctors have also mentioned the quality of the mask. Cloth masks are also said to be suitable if the quality is met. But no matter what the mask is, it is mandatory to cover the nose and mouth completely. Also, you should wear glasses for safety.


5. Wash hands, kill germs


Washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is also a way to prevent the coronavirus. Especially patients have to wash their hands. Use hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol where soapy water is not readily available.


6. Eat healthy food


It has been found that many people in Nepal drink gurja water during the coronavirus epidemic. But not only that, eating healthy and nutritious food is essential for health.


However, the most important thing is to eat a healthy diet and lose weight, not to feel comfortable in times of stress and uncertainty. With the right lifestyle, we can defeat the coronavirus. Healthy eating helps prevent serious illness.


7. Rely on reliable sources


Friends, family, and social media can be a source of information. But what is the way to avoid the corona epidemic by following the official information? How to deal with people who are corona positive, what to eat after being positive, and what not to eat? An official source of information should be sought for information on such matters.


A lot of misinformation can come on social media and the internet. Such information can be dangerous.


8. Consult and consult with a friend


Friends find it easier to express their feelings during difficult times. Work with such friends to get advice and suggestions.

Consumption of liquids


Adequate water intake is just as important as fluid intake to keep the kidneys healthy. In particular, fruit juices, lentils, and other beverages provide the body with adequate amounts of fluids.


These fluids contain all the essential nutrients that the body needs. Consumption of soft drinks, tea, and coffee available in the market can adversely affect the kidneys. Therefore, it is important to always be careful not to consume such liquids.


Medicine


Not only kidney patients but also common people should always take the medicine only after consulting a doctor before taking it. Just like in any pain, you should not take happy medicine. It can damage the kidneys badly.


Smoking and alcohol


Smoking and alcohol can also affect the kidneys. Smoking and alcohol poison the body. Due to which the kidneys lose their ability to work.


Obesity


Research has shown that even obese people have a higher risk of developing kidney disease. This risk is twice as high in obese people as in normal people. Therefore, it is important to avoid obesity to avoid kidney-related diseases.


Regular health check-ups


The best way to prevent kidney damage is to have regular health checkups. Regular tests of urine, blood, and kidneys can prevent kidney-related diseases. Also, if someone in the family has diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, and cancer, regular health check-ups after the age of 30 can prevent kidney-related diseases and even serious diseases through early screening.

Drinks that cancer patients should eat

Drinks that cancer patients should eat


We all understand cancer as a major disease. But with early detection and treatment, cancer can be completely cured. The disease causes the cancer cells in the affected area to grow uncontrollably, spread to other tissues, and the cancer cells that are growing uncontrollably die due to lack of oxygen in the blood.


Eventually, uncontrolled cell growth can lead to cancer deaths. The growth of cancer cells needs to be curbed to control or prevent cancer. This restraint is only possible when the environment outside the cell is completely natural.



The main reason for the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells is the disruption of the mechanism for controlling cell division by the accumulation of foreign substances in the extracellular environment. When foreign matter accumulates in the extracellular environment, these substances stimulate the dormant cell's carcinogenic gene to cause uncontrolled division. This uncontrolled growth is cancer and to get rid of it, the toxins present in the environment outside the cell must be purified. This is possible by consuming some naturally occurring fruit and vegetable drinks. Therefore, cancer patients should consume the following fruit juices.


1) Wheat germ juice:


Wheat germ is rich in chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is an antioxidant and antimutagenic compound in itself. The fact that chlorophyll intake increases red blood cells has also become public. As blood cells grow, they help kill cancer cells by delivering more oxygen to the cancerous tissue. Wheat germ also contains anti-cancer selenium and lytryl. Wheat germ contains 13 types of vitamins, 20 amino acids, and antioxidants. All of these elements are cancer-resistant.


2) Black Grape Juice:


Grapefruit contains a phytochemical called laminin which helps in removing carcinogens. Grape seed has been used mainly in the treatment of colon cancer. Grapes also contain an element called monoterpenes. Monitoring also plays a key role in removing carcinogens from the body.


3) Carrot juice:


Carrots are also a fruit rich in cancer-resistant phytochemicals. The beta carotene present in carrots plays a major role in the prevention, control, and treatment of skin cancer. Carrots also help heal wounds after cancer tissue damage.


4) Beetroot juice:


Packed with adequate amounts of antioxidants and vitamins, beets are a good source of carotenoids. The carotenoids present in beets play an important role in preventing all types of cancer. Carotenoids are also used to treat leukemia.


5) Tomato juice


Tomato is a treasure trove of vitamin C. In addition to vitamins, spinach contains many minerals and salts, such as sodium, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and sulfur. Tomato juice is mainly fed for protest cancer. An ingredient called glutathione present in goulash protects cells from oxidative stress as well as strengthens the immune system.


6) Broccoli juice


Broccoli contains an element called indole-3 carbinol. Indole 3 carbinol plays a key role in the prevention, control, and treatment of breast cancer, cervical cancer, and ovarian cancer. Indole-3 cardinal is understood to be an ingredient that strengthens the estrogen hormone resistance and competition system.


7) Lettuce juice


Rich in sulfur, chlorine, silicon, and vitamin B complex, lettuce juice is useful for lung cancer.


8) Noni juice


Noni juice has the potential to cure first stage cancer. Noni juice destroys cancer cells and helps build white blood cells that eat cancer cells.

Symptoms of thyroid dysfunction

Symptoms of thyroid dysfunction


The thyroid is a type of endocrine hormone. This hormone is produced by the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located just below the rudraghanti in the anterior and lower part of our neck. This gland produces hormones called triiodothyronine (T3) and tetraiodothyronine (T4) and thyrocalcitonin. Of these three hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and tetraiodothyronine (T4) are commonly called thyroid hormones.


Of these two hormones, 90% are T4 and 10% are T3, but T3 is the active hormone. These hormones play an important role in the formation of many types of structural and functional proteins and enzymes by stimulating many types of genes, mainly in the nucleus of the cell. Therefore, the thyroid is a wide range of hormones. It controls various metabolic activities of the body.




What is thyroid dysfunction?


The thyroid hormone is a very important chemical that directly and indirectly affects the expression of various metabolic processes in the body. In particular, the thyroid hormone regulates the body's metabolism. When this happens, the body's basic metabolic rate is also affected. Apart from this, the thyroid gland also affects the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Thyroid hormones also play a role in the growth, development, and weight control of the body. Thyroid hormones are also needed for the development of the brain and nerves.



Thyroid hormones also affect the ability of cells to absorb glucose. Similarly, thyroid hormones also help in the production of urine from digestive absorption and excretion. Adequate thyroid hormone is also needed to control heart rate, contractility, stiffness of nerves, blood pressure, and heart rate, and it also affects respiration rate, oxygen saturation rate, and blood circulation.


This hormone is also needed for the growth and development of the body, the growth, and development of the brain, sexual desire, and the ability, to prevent menstrual problems. The amount of thyroid hormone in the body continues to do all of the above, while too much or too little disrupts all activity. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which there is an overdose of this hormone in the body due to an increase in the thyroid, and a condition where the thyroid is low is called hypothyroidism.


Symptoms of hypothyroidism:


1. Weight gain:


Hypothyroidism causes unexpected weight gain. There are several reasons for this. The first reason is that when the basic metabolic rate of a person is low due to thyroid deficiency, the process of fat melting is reduced due to the need for less energy to sustain life. Another reason for weight gain due to hypothyroidism is that the patient becomes more tired, lazy, and has body aches due to this disease and also loses weight due to the physical activity of the patient. Also, patients with hypothyroidism are advised to store more energy in their muscles, liver, and fat tissue, and to eat more and consume less energy. This results in fat and weight gain.


2. Feeling tired:


Fatigue is a basic symptom of hypothyroidism. The main reason for this is the delay in the body's energy and metabolism due to the lack of thyroid hormone. Thyroid secretion is essential for the body to have energy and vitality. But in the case of hypothyroidism, a lack of hormones reduces energy production and leads to fatigue.


3. Feeling cold:


Hypothyroidism lowers our basal metabolic rate. When this happens, the energy produced by our body decreases and we feel cold. Also, when the thyroid is low, the brown adipose tissue needed to produce body heat cannot be activated, so the heat is produced less and it stays cold.


4. Weakness:


Deficiency of thyroid hormone increases the metabolic activity by stopping the metabolic activity in the body. As the catabolic activity increases, the muscles of the body decay, and weakness is felt.


5. Pain in the body:


Hypothyroidism increases the catabolic activity in the body and causes loss of muscle and soft connective tissue, causing body aches, burns, and knee stiffness even when not working.


6. Hair loss:


Thyroid hormone is essential for the growth, growth, and health of hair stem cells. With hypothyroidism, a lack of thyroid hormone can impede the growth and development of stem cells. Therefore, not enough hair can be formed and hair tends to thin and fall out.


7. Dry and itchy skin:


Skin cells also fall into rapid regeneration cells and the information communication of thyroid hormones plays an important role in the regeneration of these cells. When hypothyroidism occurs, the skin cells do not receive adequate information about regeneration and the skin becomes dry and the scalp changes.


8. Indifference:


Thyroid hormone is an essential hormone for the growth, development, and initiation of nerve cells. Symptoms of fear, anxiety, and depression are seen when thyroid hormones are deficient in the ability of neurons to function. Another reason for the increase in depression is that when the thyroid is deficient in physical energy, it causes depression.


 9. Mental lethargy:


With hypothyroidism, concentration, attention, rhythm, orientation, memory, emotion, dreaming, sleep and Slowness appears in specific brain activities such as speech. Although it is not clear why thyroid dysfunction occurs, it is thought to be caused by a lack of adequate supply of thyroid hormones, which are essential for the proper functioning of nerve cells. Similarly, people with low thyroid may have difficulty doing small math calculations and quick calculations.


10. Cholesterol disorders:


Hypothyroidism is a disorder in which the amount of blood fat is impaired, even when it is not fully manifested. Thyroid hormones are needed for the synthesis, metabolism, and transfer of blood fats. However, when thyroid deficiency causes this loss of control, symptoms such as increased blood cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein increase, high-density lipoprotein decrease, apolipoprotein B increase, and triglyceride levels also increase.


11. Irregular and auditory menstruation


Regular menstruation requires thyroid hormones. This is because when the thyroid is low, the growth and development of ovarian follicles are slowed down.


12. Swelling of the face, swelling of the knees


Body sores that appear in cases of complex hypothyroidism are called mixed AD. When mixed AD, the lips, mouth, eyebrows, tongue, knees, and even the skin area are swollen. If you put your finger on the swollen area due to hypothyroidism, the dam will not stay. The main reasons for this are thyroid deficiency, accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the skin, and swelling of the mucopolysaccharide by attracting water. Problems with mixed AD can sometimes be very dangerous and people can become unconscious which is called a mixed AD crisis.


13. Voice loss:


In the case of hypothyroidism, the person's tone changes, and the tone of voice changes. Although no specific cause for the loss of voice has been identified, scientists say that the muscles and nerves of the vocal cords cannot function properly due to a deficiency of thyroid hormone.


14. Constipation


Not all people with constipation have hypothyroidism, but if you have constipation along with other symptoms of hypothyroidism, it is due to hypothyroidism. With hypothyroidism, constipation occurs as the bowel movement slows down.


15. Decreased heart rate:


Thyroid hormones regulate heart contractility, nerve stiffness, blood pressure, and heart rate. Lack of thyroid hormone slows down all these activities and also slows down the heart rate.


16. Throat coming:


Hypothyroidism increases blood levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone. Thyroid-stimulating hormones stimulate the thyroid gland to make more thyroid hormones and increase thyroid cells. If this action is done for a long time, goiter will occur.


17. Infertility:


If the problem of hypothyroidism persists for a long time or the problem becomes more complicated, the problem of infertility will appear.


18. Joints become jammed, sore, and swollen


People with thyroid also have joint pain, burning, swelling, and jamming.

15 natural ways to strengthen the immune system

15 natural ways to strengthen the immune system


Today, the world is plagued by Covid-19. Except for the continent of Antarctica, there is no cure or vaccine available to prevent this global epidemic. From modern health sciences to ancient health sciences, it has been found that special emphasis has been given to this disease.


In this context, you must be curious about how to strengthen your immune system. Therefore, 15 natural methods to strengthen our immune system are discussed.



1. Eight hours of sleep daily


A good, deep, and sweet sleep between 9 pm and 5 pm play an important role in increasing white blood cells, healing wounds, and controlling infections. Research to date has found sleep to be the best immune booster.



2. Adequate water intake


Drinking enough water prevents the accumulation of contaminants in the body. This prevents the growth of unnecessarily harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in the body. Besides, when it is low, toxins accumulate in the body and destroy the cells of the immune system.


3. Yoga practice or exercise


Yoga helps to regulate blood circulation in the body, distributes nutrients evenly, plays a role in the excretion of toxins, and produces immune system cells. A 45-minute moderate-speed yoga exercise strengthens the immune system.


4. Pranayama with rapidity i.e. fast breathing


Rapid breathing pranayama like Kapalabhati, Bhastrika, Sudarshan Kriya increases the number of natural killer cells and T cells in the body and helps in fighting the virus infection. Doing fast chest pranayama for 15 minutes daily strengthens the immune system.


5. Meditation
