Why divorce should be easy!

Couples come together for a common purpose. They bear children and start parenting them. But at times, they may grow apart and not want to remain a couple. They may want to separate. But society and law often prevents this separation. Because they feel that children might get affected due to the separation. Hence, law has made divorce difficult and asks couples the reason for the separation. They need to show some fault in the partner in order to get legal separation. But this only opens another Pandora's box in which false accusations and blame game begins. This is unhealthy and stressful not only for the couple but also for their children. Divorce of their parents does affect children. It can lead to stress and academic struggles in them. They might suffer severe mental stress and demonstrate behaviour changes in them. They may have anxiety, depression, feeling of guilt and shame and sadness. This may affect them in school and their social circle. They could become an object of r...

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.

  The coronavirus pandemic has increased social segregation and this has proven to be bad particularly for the elderly population. They are unable to catch up with their children and grandchildren and are finding themselves extremely lonely. They are the worst affected by the pandemic in terms of physical as well as emotional health. THE OLD AGE AND LONELINESS Old age is a time of loneliness for many people. Usually, people have lost their partners at that ripe age and depend on their children and grandchildren for support and to beat the loneliness. Though their younger family members used to occasionally visit the parents, now with the coronavirus pandemic this has become difficult due to the risk of the children carrying the infection to their aged parents and grandparents. So the visits have come down drastically and the contact remains only on phone or via digital technology. This though good does not suffice and cannot substitute the physical visits and the warmth that th...
