Oooooh didnt know that Kerala and Tamil Nadu burn the bhakts up so much. Is it because they were trending that goback hashtag???🤔🤔
Or maybe this?? 👇👇

So most of these people in northern states dont even expose mothers or carers to mass media!!! On the other hand, southern states look GREEEEEEENNNN
(no its not due to envy)
On average more adolescents are poorer in those northern states than in the southern..........hmm maybe the elected members should focus on development more than communalism??
No comments
Oooooh
Now we know why Kerala and TN have good health indicators !!
Milk/curd consumption is probably the main nutritious food in some of these northern states
Children in some states may be taller because of this
Lucky those fish eating kids who get their nutrients like omega 3
Adolescents in some states are luckier than others !!
WOAH!!! Guess which states have less stunting............also guess why??
Again maybe its time for some states to focus on development instead of whining about reservation in dravidian states !!
Overweight adolescents are a problem in southern states. Hope the state governments will address that. Cut down on sugars/processed foods
Red states have serious anemia problem
Vitamin A deficiency can cause night blindness and its a serious problem in some states. These governments should spend more time, money and energy on development rather than communalism/casteism

Rabies is a simply horrible disease to die from. Duration from infection to onset of symptoms can vary from between 10 days to sometimes a year or longer. The death rate is 100% or the survival rate is 0%. (1) Image
The virus can enter the peripheral nervous system and then migrate to the brain and then affect many organs.
Severity depends on what animal is involved, location and severity of bite, host immunity and amount of virus injected. (2) Image
It can spread from bites, scratches and even licks on open wounds of where skin is not intact. Dogs are responsible for 95% of rabies in India.
Diagnosis is made from saliva, skin biopsies or antibodies from cerebrospinal fluid or serum. (3) Image

Cut down on sugar in all forms. Fruits, especially sweet ones, can be limited to 1 a day or <.

Avoid fruit juices (natural &processed) -can raise glycemic index. If you have to consume fruit have it whole not juiced. Lime juice is fine with salt/ pepper rather than sugar. (1)
· Cut down to stop all processed foods & outside food deep fried in high temperatures. Avoid foods with additives, tinned and canned foods.

· All dals to be bought whole and soaked for a few hours to reduce the anti-nutritional factors. (2)
. Sprouts are always better and more nutritious than directly cooking.

· Avoid deep fried and foods heated to high temperatures. Slow cook food. Pressure cooking is fine. Boil and steam rather than fry, grill, char..

· Fatty fish are good. (3)

Most patients with dengue recover in 1-2 weeks with rest and some basic medication. About 4-5% can develop dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) which is life threatening requiring emergency management and hospital admission. (1)
About 1% of patients with dengue can die. Some of the things that help with dengue are rest (avoid strenuous exertion), plenty of fluids (lime/orange juice, buttermilk), good protein diet, mild painkillers like paracetamol (not more than 2-3 tabs a day 4 hours apart). (2)
Many people vouch by papaya leaf juice, some have mentioned kiwi but I don’t know enough about that. Have never heard of dragon fruit & for sure its an exotic fruit & very expensive. Wouldn’t recommend it over & above these other things. Mostly it just gets better on its own. (3)

Innocent (Indian) vegetarian PART 1

Lingayat groups in Karnataka threaten the government when eggs were introduced in mid-day meal scheme to address the malnutrition.

Luckily some Lingayat groups/leaders like SM Jamadar spoke in favour of eggs (1)

Innocent (Indian) vegetarian PART 2

Jain groups file PILs on meat-eaters and demand a ban - the exaggerated vegetarian fragility syndrome (EVFS).
"I won't eat and will punish anyone else who does" - but I'm SO INNOCENT (2)

timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/mu…
Innocent (Indian) vegetarian PART 3

When all religions/all caste groups are forced to give up their eating preferences because of EVFS.

What if a family wanted to celebrate a birthday or occasion in their lives with a meat party?

Thanks for sharing. I put some of my points here.

On 13th September 2023, Dr. Abby Philip has made a bucket list of “MOST useless supplements in descending order”
x.com/theliverdr/sta…
(1) x.com/JohnJRathinam/…
It is extremely concerning that many supplements are indiscriminately prescribed more to meet business interests than healthcare ones. Still @theliverdr fails to do due diligence while locating himself as judge and jury at the top of the chain of ‘EBM practitioners’.(2)
It is one thing to say that most of these ingredients are available in food or have been proven to be harmful or useless, and quite another to throw everything out as useless.

About Vitamin A

Presence of fat in the diet is important for the absorption of fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and carotene present in the diet. (1)
Vitamin A is required for vision and integrity of epithelial cells (in mucosa/hollow organs). If Vitamin A is less, it can lead to permanent blindness. Retinol or preformed vitamin A is found in butter, ghee, whole milk, curd, egg yolk, liver etc. (2)
Liver oils of fish like cod, halibut, shark and saw fish are the richest natural sources of the vitamin. It is completely absorbed by the body. (3)
