SOME FOODS ITEMS TO CONTROL OBESITY/ BP/DIABETES/ HEART PROBLEMS. PHYSICAL EXERCISE OR WALKING MUST. 

NOTE:  Make vegetables and fruits the main food and cereals and millets the least supplements.

There are three kinds of food lists posted in this blog. 1) food list based on glycemic load, 2) food list based on glycemic index and 3) food list in alphabetical order.

1) FOOD LIST BASED ON GLYCEMIC LOAD

1) The glycemic load (GL) of food is a number that estimates how much the food will raise a person's blood glucose level after eating it. 

2) One unit of glycemic load approximates the effect of consuming one gram of glucose.

3) Glycemic load accounts for how much carbohydrate is in the food and how much each gram of carbohydrate in the food raises blood glucose levels. 

4) Glycemic load is based on the glycemic index (GI), and is calculated by multiplying the grams of available carbohydrate in the food by the food's glycemic index, and then dividing by 100.

Could Artificial Lighting Cause Diabetes Type 2?

1) Diabetes type 2 is caused by insulin resistance in body cells.

2) Insulin is a hormone secreted by pancreas.

3) Insulin resistance results in less absorption of glucose by cells and consequently its higher concentration in blood. 

4) Insulin resistance is due to another hormone called cortisol. 

5) Cortisol is produced in the cortex of adrenal glands, located on kidneys.

6) Cortisol production is regulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

7) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)  is produced by anterior pituitary gland.

8) Anterior pituitary gland is stimulated by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH).

9) Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is released from the hypothalamus.

10) The hypothalamus is located on the undersurface of the brain. It lies just below the thalamus and above the pituitary gland, to which it is attached by a stalk. It is an extremely complex part of the brain containing many regions with highly specialised functions.

11) The hypothalamus is considered as the key brain region for the control of homeostasis. 

12) Homeostasis refers to maintainance of a state of internal balance and physical wellbeing in spite of internal changes or outside factors. 

13) Hypothalamic dysfunction may occur due to head injuries,  growth hormone deficiency,  birth defects involving the brain or hypothalamus, tumors in or around the hypothalamus,  eating disorders, autoimmune conditions,  surgery involving the brain and artificial light radiations.

14) When the body is exposed only to the natural light of the sun, the hypothalamus area of the brain sets its sleep patterns according to when it is light outside and to when it is dark.

15) When it starts getting dark outside, the hypothalamus signals to the body to start creating sleep hormones, like melatonin, and to drop the human's body temperature to prepare for sleep. 

16) In the morning, when light is sensed, the body is told to warm up and to produce hormones, like cortisol, that wake the body up. When artificial light is added to a human's day, the body's natural rhythms become confused. 

17) So all artificial light, including LEDs, fluorescent bulbs, incandescent bulbs, cell phones, computers and televisions can interrupt normal sleep patterns, confuse hypothalamus, that disturbs homoeostasis, high cortisol production, more insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

18) The same kind of other mechanisms may also be responsible for hypertension,  cardiovascular problems and kidney problems.

19) Lifestyle changes, bad food habits, junk food, cool drinks, smoking, alcoholic consumption, drug addiction, sedentary lifestyle, less physical activities, less sleep,  belly fat, obesity, seasonal changes and climate change my aggravate the problems.

20) The reason for sudden unabated raise in diabetes type 2 might be triggered by mobile addiction also!

Why Are Family Planning And Population Control Not Serving The Purpose?

Since Malthus so many scientists,  economists and planners have been introducing different family planning methods and schemes to control population. Reason is limited natural resources may not be sufficient to ever growing population. And according to them this will also lead to do a lot of mining, deforestation, killing of wildlife, refining of mineral ores, manufacturing, transportation, use of hydrocarbons, petroleum, petrochemical products, etc. This inturn need a lot of electricity. Electricity needs thermal, hydroelectric, nuclear, solar or wind energy projects. They in turn need a lot of forest clearance and so on. The result is different sorts of pollution - chemical,  noise and light pollution.

According to economists, industrialists and scientists population growth brings different kinds of problems to humanity especially pollution and degenerative diseases also. Besides this water crisis another problem. Food production and supply another issue. All these reasons make anyone believe that population control is must. But what about consumption control? Does a family of three members need a house that can accommodate thirty or three hundred members? Should we allow people to construct houses according to monetary capacity of a person or quantum of loans a bank can sanction?  Does government suggest children per a family according to reproductive capacity of the couple?

Why shouldn't government control sizes of houses according to the sizes of families? Small houses need less material for construction,  less resources for maintenance and less money for both. So we can effectively control deforestation,  wildlife destruction,  pollution, damage of human body organs, diseases and deaths. As the greed is controlled different ways for bribery,  corruption, hawalas, scams, etc can be effectively closed.

In addition to above advantages the land saved due to small houses can be used to grow herbs, bushes and trees of multiple use. The members of the family get an opportunity to grow fresh uncontaminated fruits,  vegetables, fish, poultry and cows. They get sufficient sunlight, tree shade and cool breeze. And a great space and time to involve in physical activities too. Instead of favouring business companies and industrialists to grow the government and its great institutions should start thinking about conservation of biodiversity in wilderness and also the growth of biodiversity around human habitats. People can start spending time in gardens, breathing fresh air and watching birds around instead of being suffocated in indoor pollution throughout the life!

Unemployment Technology

The physical unemployment problem is due to more labour supply and less demand for workforce in market. A lot of educational institutions are coming up and growing up certificates well in advance to produce a lot of  manpower on paper. On the other side a lot of technocrats are inventing and innovating efficient technologies to reduce need for physical manpower and to increase productivity through machines, computers and artificial intelligence. In addition to this, students don't get sufficient time and space to learn, at least, their occupations at home, because of hectic academic schedules. The net result is qute different from our superstitious expectations.

The educational institutions are helping the industry through their double edged strategy - one in reducing demand for manpower and two in increasing educated consumers for their products. At the end the educated class will be without sufficient earnings to eke out their living and so may be forced to do under-employment jobs or harmful or illegal activities without a proper home or family. Even uneducated farm workers are losing labour and wages due to a number of superb chemicals and machines invented and introduced into agriculture. Online business further reduces chances of employment in retail sector (Total employment in MNCs is less than overall  employment in the conventional system)

.

In physiological unemployment a person is physically employed but physiologically unemployed. This is due to employment of machines, vehicles and computers in factories, offices, companies and even in houses. There is a maximum rest to arms and legs. This leads to less exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between lungs, blood and tissues in different parts of the body.  This in turn creates further erratic employment to internal organs. The result might be degenerative diseases. But there is a lot of opportunity to earn huge profits by medical, health and insurance companies.

In mental unemployment the person is physically employed but without much work to his mind due to computers and artificial intelligence.  A lot of stress on eyes, nerves and muscles may occur. Sedentary life styles compounded with junkfood creates a lot of psychological and social problems. Early retirement from physical jobs may also result.

The solution to all these problems is less dependence on chemiclas and machines. Students should be properly educated and trained to depend directly on sunlight, soil, plants and vegetables for different needs. Instead of concrete jungles a trend towards farm houses should be motivated. It creates both pristine environment and ample employment opportunities,  though not in companies and government offices. More organic products and physical activities will create  a healthy and peaceful population. But the big bosses are thinking to solve all these kinds of unemployment problems by introducing robots!

Green Revolution Collides with Green Evolution

The only planet with the rarest kind of unique matter called life is the earth. Here the base for trillions of evolving and fluorishing organisms is green evolution. The green evolution started with the tiniest blue-green algae and reached up to the mightiest Sequias. But a few  brains disrupted the green evolutionary process through industrial and green revolutionary concepts. The former kind of revolution destroyed a major part of the green biodiversity in wilderness.  The latter kind modified some more green biodiversity in cultivation.  The green trafficking has been happening without being recognized and noticed by a major part of the human world!

The green evolution happens so generously and judiciously that every bit of biosphere flourishes with fertile soils, timely hydrological cycles, luxuriant vegetation and very active and sportive animals.  This prospers not only the overall nature but also the farmer and all his friends and partners in farming. Invisible microscopic flora and fauna and visible macroscopic  earthworms, bees, butterflies,  birds and animals are kept busy and alive.  It also keeps environment clean and consumers hale and healthy.

No dought that there were farming failures in the post-industrial era. Those droughts and famines misguided human thought to take a sudden turn from the ever successful path of green evolution. A fast paced detour was taken, that's called green revolution. There has been misunderstanding of a fact that those calamities were none but the byproducts of destruction of  major ecosystems, for industries and infrastructure only. This new kind of development has engaged the farmer in farming  so vigorously that his agriculture has prospered more than himself. Not only agriculture but also a number of agriculture related companies like seed, fertilizer, pesticide, irrigation, plastic, machine, tractor and food processing industries have prospered a lot. But the farmer has been left with dreadful diseases and demeaning debts and the consumer has been with contaminated, processed, junk food and degenerative diseases.

Neither governments nor their associated companies are in a position to continue farming on natural  ecological models. The only choice left is either to conserve nature and get fresh food or forget human race forever. Let's wait and see how long this scam continues!

These Terrorists Are Organ Hunters

There are two necessary evils which behave hypicritically as friends but act f erociously like terrorists. We can't imagine ourselves as leaders of this modern world without these two masked entities. What are these two terrorists? One is badly smelling petroleum and the other terribly shocking electricity. 

Petroleum creates not only a variety of products for world business but also ammunition, explosives, plastics and an innumerable number of other poisonous pollutants to kill their own producers. But poisonous pollutants too have certain economic values in their recyclic phase! They sneakingly enter our environment, air, water and food chain and silently attack different human organs, damage them and help health and insurance industries to grow fast and earn huge sums of profits. Diesel and petrol, the two fractions of the crude oil,  don't let people to walk, jog, run, climb or use animals in journeys, but keep them always in resting postures. These twin products are not only fuels but also souls of automobile industry.

Electricity is no less than petroleum. It speeds up destruction of forests, wildlife extinction, purification and refining of minerals, metals and other chemicals. It pumps out ground water very fast to deplete the scarce invaluable resource a lot.  It creates and energizes electrical machines and electronic gadgets. It ever keeps people comfortable through fans, air coolers and air conditioners. It makes possible people swallow in either too cold or too hot things from fridges and microovens.  It attracts eyes by causing light pollution and appeals or consoles ears through noise pollution.

We are proud of our science and technology innovations.  Companies invest for technological innovations and in turn get power and strength to encroach into human living conditions . "Be cautious!  Don't let people approach nature, accept natural principles, follow natural methods and consume natural products. Or else the companies become bankrupt". That's the technique of modern business. Even air, water, food and sex shouldn't be natural. Turn everything  artificial. Brand, tag and  market everything. That's what economic development.  Besides these there should be a supplement of junk food for these special category of people to enhance the effect of the business world!

Don't  let people move their body joints. Even if they want that's through gym or some costly exercising equipment only.  Let people either sit or sleep on  cushiony substrata always. And further certify it as dignity, prestige,  respect or as an indicator of achievement or success. This  never appear as self-punishment but as a luxurious,  sweet and pleasant way of intoxicating one's own life.

Unfortunately our body structure isn't made in such a way to bear and persist out of this pseudo-development torture. Our hands  aren't meant for holding mobile phones throughout the day. Our legs aren't meant for being dangled down the chairs or lying down on beds throughout the day. Our eyes aren't meant for staring at glowing screens through out the day. Our ears aren't meant for listening noises from fans, machines, vehicles or music from electronic gadgets throughout the day. But we  fool ourselves by considering these bad habits as advancements.

No doubt most of our body organs are getting modern avatars. The eyes are turning red, gritty, dizzy with a lot of uneasiness or itching. Ears are becoming less audible. Nose is getting  senseless and  unable to prevent entry of germs. Skin is becoming wrinkled and aged, but looks beautiful and attractive over a slim layer of chemical cosmetics. All our internal body organs are notified under different insurance schemes at different  superspecialty hospitals. Fortunately lungs, hearts, stomachs, intestines, livers, pancreas and kidneys are being brought under AMCs. No need to panic. A full fledged consultancy and pharmaceutical business is going on. Governments too are happy to find and make publicity of a spurt in the growth of health industry.

On the other hand some tribal people are still living in natural habitats full of soil, grass, trees, rivers and mountains. They aren't classified as patients for any insurance scheme viz.,  asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis, premature ageing, skin cancer, gastric ulcers, gall stones, constipation,  obesity, diabetes, hypertension,  kidney failures et cetera. These are the people least affected by climate change,  global warming or calamities. They can survive due to their expertise in physical activities, strength of natural immunity and genetic diversity. But a lot of efforts are being made to bring these unsophisticated people into the mainstream of world corporate consumer circuit. Save God! Should we expect some more organ damages in the days to come?

Wise people use the least. Humanistic governments discourage the most. The two necessary evils - petroleum and electricity. Beware, these terrorists are the organ hunters!

Love Destroys Divorce

As we all know a family is the basic functional and structural unit of our society. The strength of our society lies in the collective performance of our families. The strength of the family depends on the power of binding forces acting upon its members. That strongest binding power in my view is nothing but 3D-Love. The love between husband and wife, and between parents and children. We ourselves have invented a number of evil elements to break these strongest bonds like greed for money, materials, buildings, property and lust in the name of development and indiscriminate enjoyment. Long long ago it was being told that love is blind. Now it's no more blind. It's blinding in the glare of degrees of education and decrees of infatuation.

Nations, States, countries, communities and even families can be easily broken into bits of desolation and sorrow through  'Divide and Rule Policy' of the greedy world. Husband is divided from wife, parents from children and citizens from their nations just to become posh servants of rich capitalists, employees of companies somewhere abroad or in other cities, far away from life partners, children, mothers and motherland.   Physical divisions will definitely lead to mental divisions that in turn may lead to divorces. There are many excuses shown to divide but major hidden causes may be as follows:

1) EXTRA-MARTIAL SEXUAL CONTACTS:

Extra-marital sexual affairs are a cause for the dissolution of most marriages that end in divorce. The factors that are respinsible for extra-marital relationships may be as follows:

i) Lack of love, affection, dedication and honesty towards ones spouse.

ii) Habituated to change lovers and sex partners since school days to marriage due to different reasons. May be due to a long gap between pubery and marriage, and also may be due to child marriage ban followed by unbearable heat of romance, obscenity, nudity and sex generated by different kinds of media and cinema.

iii) Watching more beautiful girls, women, ladies, actresses, heroines,  and models or more handsome boys, men, actors, heroes than their spouses in and around our living places or on screens will reduce interest in their own spouses some times. 

iv) Intimate relationships beyond limits with colleagues, commuters, relations and  neighbours of opposite sex.

v) Long periods of menstruation, pregnancy and postpregnancy periods among wives and diseased or injured periods of husbands.

vi) Absence of life partners for a considerable period of time due to  far away journeys, foreign tours, or foreign jobs.

vii) Exposure to obscenity, nudity and sex on TV or mobile screens.

viii) When one of the spouse not interested, efficient or competent enough to participate in a kind of sexual act as so in novels or videos.

ix) Visit to pubs and nude dances especially with their boyfriends or girlfriends.

x) Easy adultery or availability of brothels, pimps  and prostitutes in the society.

xi) Differences in sexual appetite and lack of emotional intimacy.

xii) Disfiguration of a spouse's body due to overweight, age or other reasons. Overweight is basically due to obesity. Obesity is due to more intake but less expenditure of energy. This in turn is due white collar jobs, electrical and electronic appliances and gadgets without sufficient physical activities. The basic symptom of development! 

xiii) Husbands addicted to texting on mobiles upto too late in the evenings or beyond midnight.

xiv) Impotency or weak nervous systems and consequent dysfunctioning of organs due to constant exposure to radiation from computers, mobiles, television, etc along with lack of sufficient physical activities and balanced diet especially fresh fruits and vegetables. The latter aspect is fully overtaken by fast food, junk food and carbonated drinks.

xv) Dysfunctioning of sex organs due to obesity, diabetes, deficiency diseases, global warming and rapid increas in temperature due to pollution, lack of 33.3% tree cover in human habitats, heat islands amidst concrete jungles is also a strong cause!

xvi) Different job timings for spouses or night duty for a spouse.

xvii) Any one spouse goes regularly into inebriated or intoxicated condition during nights  by taking drugs or liquors.

2) FINANCIAL REASONS:

The second important cause  is financial aspects. Marriages are no more made in heaven but in posh and magnificient marriage halls with a lot of glare and show put up. Marriages are hardly a glimpse of love and affection, but a kind of commercial activity. So many things stand between two hearts to meet and understand mutually. Dowry, gifts and presentations occupy the primary position.  Money, materials and properties always be there to spoil the holistic thought of marriage. No much discussion about love and affection. The only version that's acceptable these days is how much money earned, ethnically or unethically, and being spent in the marriage! That's why the bond of love and affection is very feeble these days to bind the bride and bridegroom forever! So many cases of divorce and broken families are rampant these days. Here  some more financial reasons are given:

i) Different spending habits of a spouse.

ii) Different financial goals of a spouse.

iii) Two different spouses from two different financial backgrounds.

iv) One spouse of corruptive mentality and the other of honesty.

v) One spouse of simple and natural lifestyle and the other of luxurious, extravagant, posh and ostentatious lifestyles.

vi) Husband can't cope up with daily,  educational or medical expenditure in family.

vii) Wife or her parents not paid the dowry, or given gold and gifts as per the promise or the as per later desires.

viii) Husnand is financially irresponsible and has failed to maintain his wife or the children properly.

ix) Husband is wasting money in bettings, gamblings, or pubs and prostitution.

x) One spouse may be spending money towards ones parents or relations without other's consent or willingness.

3) OTHER REASONS:

i) Anger and resentment.

ii) Conversion of emotional affair before marriage into physical affair after marriage.

iii) Lack of effective communication between spouses like yelling at spouses for simple reasons especially in front of other ladies, not talking enough throughout the day due to busy schedules or texting on mobiles, making nasty comments to express oneself, telling lies, scolding, etc.

iv) Arguing about every simple reasonable and unreasonable issues especially about kids, customs, culture, food preparations, shopping, etc.

v) Obesity, weight gain, lack of physical fitness, disfiguration  of body, etc are common reasons for divorce.

vi) Unrealistic expectations during romantic days before marriage.

vii) Lack of intimacy due to overtime jobs, business, cellophane texting, TV watching,  etc.

viii) Lack of equality due to gender bias or position in jobs.

ix) Unhappiness and stress due to attitudes of spouses.

x) Oral or physical abuses and physical violence.

xi) Spouses drinking excessively.

xii) Spouses behaves in an unreasonable and aggressive manner under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

xiii) Chronic diseases making a spouse unfit for sexual life.

xiv) Lack of elders or well wishers to bridge the gap of resentment between husband and wife due to small nuclear family system or money saving mechanism.

We can't say that all these factors or at least some of these will definitely lead to divorce. No, never be so! As mentioned earlier the power of love and affection decimates all these reasons and stand aloft to safeguard the holistic relationships between husband and wife.  But once if that power is also made powerless for the sake of colourful world or transient pleasures, then no one can avoid the tumbling down of relationships.

We can just say that these are some of the reasons for divorce or Talaq. Here majority think about divorses and legal games what to play after that unfortunate incident.  Better well-wishers, governments, courts,  organizations, parties and leaders stop talking much about what to do after divorces but start thinking about how to prevent these divorces. There is only one way to make the nation grow stronger, that is "prevention is better than cure!" Avoid forces that weaken the bonds of love and affection between spouses and among the members of a family, though it costs billions of rupees or dollars in the form of loss of business or taxes to the people and government! Then there won't be any Talaq .... Talaq ..... Talaq. Only Love ..... Love ..... Love!
