Sperm donors vs human milk donors - another injustice against women

Image
 Indian culture is ant-women though it is a taboo to talk about this fact. Laws also do not support truly. There is something else written and something else said and done.  Women are usually put on more manual jobs and paid less. They are rarely given leadership jobs though they could have been better leaders of the hurdles in their lives were abolished.  Now coming to sperm donation vs human milk donation. If you see both, and think on those, you will realise that human milk donation is much more valuable and useful. Yet, human milk donors are either not paid or are paid less. But sperm donors are always paid and paid more. Why this difference???? Read: How to eat idlis? Law fails to help these mothers who I would say are exploited in the name of humanity. When sperm donation and surrogacy are compensated, why not human milk donation be compensated at par??? A food for thought!!!

Diet during recovery phase of coronavirus infection

 Coronavirus is affecting a large number of people. And some of them are also long covid. The latter means having covid symptoms for a prolonged time. This may be for months and includes fatigue, mental fogging, and the like. People recovering from covid are eager to know what they should eat during and after the illness when recovery phase has set in. Here are the guidelines for it. 

Covid infection 

Coronavirus is like any other viral infection. It is a systemic infection and produces a catabolic phase in the body. Besides during the active phase of the disease appetite may be low. The net result is weakness and giddiness with blood pressure fluctuations and malnutrition. 

Hence during the active symptomatic phase of the disease, one should take more fluids. Good hydration is important. Consume calories also in a liquid form if eating solids might be difficult. Prefer simple easy to digest foods that have a high content of water. Prefer to have warm water and foods so that throat irritation comes down. Have small frequent foods if nausea and bloating is present. Do not take too much of proteins during this time since it can lead to nausea. Warm soups, tea, fruit juices are good. Instant energy-providing drinks such as glucon - D are also beneficial.

Post-Covid diet 

When recovery starts after 2-3 weeks, one needs to eat healthy to overcome the physical, mental, and psychological ill-effects of the virus. 

Food after the illness phase and during recuperation should be adequate and balanced. Substances to rebuild the muscles and for other organ damage recovery should be in more amounts. 

Start with more carbohydrates before switching to healthier options. Incorporate more proteins such as cottage cheese, eggs, tofu. Fruits and vegetables are good for the vitamins and minerals. Keep medicines for the end so that water does not make your stomach full right at the start of the meals. Take in more fluids. Have more calories-dense foods. Take some citrus goods for vitamin C that would build your immunity and body defenses. 

Vipassana is injurious to health and society 

For zinc, take lentils, almonds, pumpkin seeds, milk, and cheese. Chicken is also a good source of zinc. This is good for faster recovery. Have sun exposure to acquire your daily dose of vitamin D.
