Reverse osmosis (RO) is recognized as an effective water filtration method that produces clean water.

RO systems are used for various purposes, from whole-house filtration to aquariums and restaurants.

It works by using a semi-permeable membrane to remove impurities like salts, metals, minerals, bacteria, and viruses from water, ensuring safe and purified drinking water. RO can remove up to 90% of TDS. Total Dissolve Solids (TDS) is a parameter that counts all dissolved minerals in the water. Calcium (Ca 2+), Magnesium (Mg 2+) and Potassium (K +) are minerals that are introduced as " Beneficial Minerals " for human health. TDS levels of municipal supply water can usually range from 100 to 500, whereas seawater can have a TDS as high as 35000 due to the presence of high amounts of salts and other impurities in it.

That is why seawater is not suitable for drinking at all.

Based on the recommendations by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS):

I run a fitness company. We cater to thousands of clients every month. Our team includes doctors, MSc/BSc dietitians, PhD holders, and certified coaches.

We want to ask some questions directly from @ICMRDELHI and @ICMRNIN

Please read this thread patiently and repost only if I make sense. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) recently released revised Dietary Guidelines for Indians (DGIs).

The guidelines caution against consuming protein supplements due to the potential risk of bone mineral loss and kidney damage associated with prolonged intake of a large amount of protein.

Yesterday, I saw an article published in India Today saying that Dal is not a source of protein.

Some things aren't correct so I am gonna highlight them here.

Bookmark this thread for future reference. This thread is a bit long because of Brandolini's law.

Kids can go to the gym, lift baby weights, and progress as they get stronger.

At what age do you allow your kid to play sports like cricket, basketball, and badminton? At what age do you let kids play without supervision? That's the age.

Thread. The first argument - Height will stop - no, it won't. There is no evidence or citation which states this. I don't know why and which noob started this myth, and we all believed in it. Your height depends on genetics and nutrition. You cannot stop height this easily lol

What is a Keto Diet, and why is it harmful to you? A detailed thread.

The Keto diet is a diet where you lower the carbs to almost nil and add only lots of fats and protein to your diet.

If you see any diet with 10-40g carbs only, it is a sort of Keto diet. People who promote and recommend keto diets or similar diets under the shadow of Low carb ideology do so because they think carbs are the reason for every lifestyle disorder. They act like fanatics and crazy when you show them the carbs

Promises made in public are my real motivation for me. Some days were scary. What if I couldn’t do it? Some days were full of energy. But this public announcement helped me to stay on track.

Promises can be made to your family, your friends or in a form of public announcements. Anything which keeps you moving. My next target is to go for ironman in 2024.

We are touching the 9500 mark of people coached for their fitness and health. This includes coaching them on their diet and workout, supervising them and developing accountability habits

Here are the top 10 tips I want to share which worked for these people to get healthier. 1. Adding a simple routine of clocking in 7-8k steps daily does wonders for your body and overall health. Walk when on the phone, park your car far in the malls and other places, and take the stairs whenever possible. Steps are one of the best exercises.

We voted for this man because he promised us that the VIP treatment and तव्वजो given to politicians will end. But what we used to see 15 years ago, रंग रोगन of roads whenever a CM/PM used to arrive in city is happening again and same in morbi hospital. The “hope” is dying slowly पर इसमें ग़लत क्या है? Aap apna ghar saaf nahi karte kya maa baapu ke aane se phele? 😭

Unfortunately, you are a vitamin-D-deficient guy
Low vitamin D levels are disturbing your mental health and testosterone levels.
How?
A 🧵 thread -

Vitamin D deficiency is almost very common in India (most of the studies report a prevalence of 80%–90%.)[1] Go and have a blood test
I am sure you will find that you are vitamin -D deficient.

As a Founder of an online fitness coaching company, @thepfcin , it is my responsibility to tell you what causes heart attacks at the gym and how you should calculate your “intensity” of workout to avoid such threats and what drugs to avoid at all cost. Read this thread. The problem with intensity calculation is that you really don’t know your limits, but to achieve a good healthy physique one has to break limits.

For example, today you can run 90m without any breathing issues, try for 93m tomorrow and 97m the next day.

Gyms or high protein diets have nothing to do with heart attacks.

Drugs cause this, which are commonly available at every medical store without any prescription.

I don't want to take names, (I cannot) but I know what drug they were consuming before the 'attack' at the gym. And, you will see a huge rise in such cases in the coming 2 years. Uneducated people will blame it on gym exercises and a protein diet.

People with a scientific temperament already know the real cause of why it is happening.

Yesterday’s it was my wife’s birthday and I took her to 5-star dining for dinner. While she was enjoying the food, I was, as usual, focusing more on the service and the feel of it. They didn’t keep salt or pepper at the table. I asked the reason, the waiter and he told me if you don’t like the taste, the chef will cook it again.
Later on, the chef came, and the restaurant manager came to ask me about the food and the feel.

कल मुझसे मेरे काफ़ी मित्रजनो ने पूछा की वह अपने बच्चों की डाइयट में प्रोटीन की मात्रा कैसे बढ़ा सकते है?

चलिए मैं आपको बताता हूँ कुछ तरीक़े जिससे आपका बच्चा शांति से प्रोटीन युक्त खना खा लेगा। - सबसे पहले आपको अपनी इस दक़ियानूसी सोच को छोड़ना होगा कि बच्चे है कुछ भी खा सकते है सब पच जाता है बचपन में कौनसी डाइयट।

देखिए मेरे पास इस साल, जबसे से स्कूल खुले है, 37 बच्चों के ऐसे केस आए जिसमें वह घर पर रह कर काफ़ी मोटे हो गए और इस वजह से वह काफ़ी सुस्त और पढ़ाई में कमजोर

The reality of gym and heart attack.

Now, if you ever google them together and get curious about it you’ll see lots of misleading news about it and even many whatsapp forwards that may misguide you. According to studies, around 5500 people die because of heart-related ailments every day in India. There may be a chance that among those 5500, 1 - 2 people could be at the gym at that time. This doesn’t mean gym caused or aggrevated the heart attack. thelancet.com/journals/langl…
