Healthy Eating: Weight Loss Tips for Teenagers

April 20, 2014

Weight_Loss_Tips Apr 20: Teenagers tend to eat whatever they want because they are constantly on the move. Also, their hectic and stressful schedules always keep them on their toes. But constantly eating junk food can have severe health repercussions later on in life. Nutritionist, Suman Agarwal, Fitness expert, Food Guru and Owner of Selfcare India, shares a few tips on how to choose healthy eating options, when dining out.

Health eating out options

Ø Pasta with chicken in arabiatta sauce

Ø Tofu with stir fry veggies

Ø Non-fried chicken/fish preparation with very little rice

Ø Pesarrattu (dal dosa) with vegetables

Ø Rawa idlis with sambhar

Ø Mushroom risotto with chickpea salad

However, always keep the following pointers (do’s and don’ts) in mind, which will keep you healthy and satisfied:

Ø Avoid deep fried foods, mayonnaise, cream cheese and any other table foods (like a bread basket) that add to your calories.

Ø In vegetables, avoid cashews, coconut or cream based gravies.

Ø Opt for the green chutney or tomato chutney instead of the coconut one.

Ø Opt for steamed and grilled starters instead of the deep fried variety.

Ø Pick up sorbet or a fruit pudding instead of a high calorie dessert.

Ø Never miss your proteins (chicken, fish, dal, milk and curd), or else have your protein before you leave your house.

A sample menu for a teenager would look like:

Breakfast-Any one of the following options:

Ø Cereal with milk

Ø Toast and eggwhite omlette

Ø Paratha with curd

Lunch-Any one of the following options

Ø Roti + dal + vegetable + curd

Ø Wraps with curd

Ø Veg pulao with tofu

Evening-Any one of the following options

Ø Milk and biscuits

Ø Milk and bread toast

Ø Eggs and toast

Dinner -Any one of the following options:

Ø Roti + dal + vegetable + curd

Ø Pasta with baked beans

Ø Noodles with stir fry veggies and tofu

In the end, it’s not always what one chooses, but also, how much one chooses. Continuous binging on high calorie foods is not always healthy. So, one must always keep a check on what they are eating, how much and at what time. This will ensure that one remains fit and healthy.

WHO: Virus surge due to peak in big countries

Agencies

June 23,2020

The record levels of new daily COVID-19 cases are due to the fact that the pandemic is peaking in a number of big countries at the same time and reflect a change in the virus' global activity, the World Health Organisation said.

At a media briefing on Monday, WHO's emergencies chief Dr Michael Ryan said that the numbers are increasing because the epidemic is developing in a number of populous countries at the same time.

Some countries have attributed their increased caseload to more testing, including India and the US But Ryan dismissed that explanation.

We do not believe this is a testing phenomenon, he said, noting that numerous countries have also noted marked increases in hospital admissions and deaths neither of which cannot be explained by increased testing.

There definitely is a shift in that the virus is now very well established, Ryan said. The epidemic is now peaking or moving towards a peak in a number of large countries.

He added the situation was definitely accelerating in a number of countries, including the US and others in South Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

Pasteurising breast milk may inactivate novel coronavirus, claims study

News Network

July 10,2020

Toronto, Jul 10: Pasteurising breast milk at 62.5 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes inactivates the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19, making it safe for consumption by babies, a study claims.

According to the research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, current advice for women with Covid-19 is to continue to breastfeed their own infants.

In Canada, it is standard care to provide pasteurised breast milk to very-low-birth-weight babies in hospital until their own mother's milk supply is adequate, the researchers said.

"In the event that a woman who is Covid-19-positive donates human milk that contains SARS-CoV-2, whether by transmission through the mammary gland or by contamination through respiratory droplets, skin, breast pumps and milk containers, this method of pasteurisation renders milk safe for consumption," said Sharon Unger, a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada.

The Holder method, a technique used to pasteurise milk in all Canadian milk banks at 62.5 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, is effective at neutralising viruses such as HIV, hepatitis and others that are known to be transmitted through human milk, the researchers said.

In the latest study, the researchers spiked human breast milk with a viral load of SARS-CoV-2 and tested samples that either sat at room temperature for 30 minutes or were warmed to 62.5 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.

They then measured for active virus, finding that the virus in the pasteurised milk was inactivated after heating.

More than 650 human breast milk banks around the world use the Holder method to ensure a safe supply of milk for vulnerable infants, the researchers said.
