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!!!

Types of breads available in the world based on ingredients

Bread is made of wheat. There are different types of reads available in the market. The goodness of these varies. Let us have a look at the types of breads available in the world markets. These types are based on the ingredients used in making bread 

1. Regular white bread-This is made of refined wheat flour. The flour is made of wheat that is stripped of its nutrients and fiber. Some of these breads are fortified with vitamins A and D in line with national food product fortification programs.

2. Whole wheat bread-In this, the flour used is made from whole wheat. The bran, germ, and endosperm all three parts of the whole wheat grain are present in the flour used to make this type of bread. Hence it is healthy and nutritious. Its fiber content is more and so are the vitamins and minerals. It is wholesome. 

3. Brown bread- Brown bread is a general term used for brown colored bread. But if need not necessarily be made of whole wheat though people think that the terms brown and whole wheat are interchangeable. But this is not true. Often, one sees that brown bread is made of refined wheat flour and has added caramel in it to give it the brown color. Thus it is not nutritious. In fact, its taste also might not be good due to the bitter caramel.

4. White whole wheat bread-the normal whole wheat bread is darker in color with a coarse texture and a slightly bitter taste. It is made of red wheat. But white whole wheat bread is made of white wheat. Hence it is whiter in color. But its nutrition is preserved. Also it has a softer texture and tastes sweeter than the regular whole wheat bread.

Loneliness is a growing epidemic especially during this coronavirus pandemic in the USA!

  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.

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...

Color therapy-the ancient art of healing! Know the science behind it and its current status!

  Color as a form of therapy is not a new concept. In it, electromagnetic waves in the form of the visible spectrum (that we interpret as colors) are used to cure various body illnesses. It is an ancient mode of therapy that is being reinvented. There are attempts to elucidate its scientific basis and explanation. This would help to explore and discover newer dimensions of this old remedy. Color therapy (Chromotherapy) Newton talked about solid matter and moving objects while Einstein found out that mass and energy are dual expressions of the same universal substance. It is the vibration rate of its molecules that determines its form. When slow, it is physical matter and when the vibrations are intense it is energy. Thus, light is an energy and when it interacts with matter, color is formed. Each color has its own wavelength, frequency, and energy level. And human eye is adapted to see only this energy that has a wavelength between 380-780 nm. This is therefore, the visible spe...
