त्यांना साथ देणारे नकली पत्रकार, सुट्टीवरील न्यायव्यवस्था आणि नाकर्ते प्रशासन याला जेवढे कारणीभूत आहेत तेवढीच किंबहुना त्यापेक्षा जास्त आपली “बेशिस्त” जनता याला कारणीभूत आहे. (या प्रत्येकात अगदी काही अपवाद आहेत, त्यांची मी क्षमा मागतो)

क्षेत्रात, ऊद्योग असो, खाजगी वा सरकारी नोकरी असो वा घरगुती वा लघु ऊद्योग असो आपल्याला नियम आणि कायदे वाकवायची, मोडायची भितीच वाटत नाही, आणिबाणीच्या, महामारीच्या काळातही कोणी कायद्याला किंमत देईना.

एकंदर अघळपघळपणा आणि “चलता है” ॲटिट्यूड आपल्या जगण्याचा अविभाज्य घटक बनलाय.

3. In October 1971, the United Nations General Assembly adopted at its 26th session Resolution 2758, recognizing the People's Republic of China (#PRC) as the sole legitimate government representing the whole of #China.

A dear friend and #nutrition expert, Dr. @MaryamSHamidi|@StanfordWellMD: soundcloud.com/cmajpodcasts/h…

In a study of 245 @StanfordMed physicians, researchers found that a better diet is associated with reduced side effects of sleep deprivation.

med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/…
Sleep deprivation. Stress. Mood. Diet. all are interdependent.

⬆️ calories food are more rewarding. Higher added sugar/saturated fat/salt = comforting. Also impairs sleep. Weight gain --> sleep apnea.
Sleep deprivation --> want to eat more even when not hungry
On Food, hydration & performance:
Dehydrated pilots have poor flight performance.
Soccer referees make poor judgment when dehydrated.
Physicians who are dehydrated have impaired short term memory.

HANGRY is real.
