Food companies and their misleading labels

-
Image
Food is for nutrition and to provide the body with energy and vital nutrients. Names of foods help us to know what the likely ingredients might be in it. But often, we notice that food names are misleading. They can fool a person into buying only to realize that it did not meet their expectations and imagination. For instance, take the example of samosa. An ideal samosa is refined wheat flour (maida) wrap with mashed potatoes and boiled peas inside. And when we say paneer samosa (cottage cheese stuffed fried dumplings), the picture that comes to our mind is of a wrap of refined wheat flour dough with paneer inside. But to your disappointment, you will find that these samosas are nothing but the normal samosas with mashed potatoes with or without boiled peas and just 1 small piece of cottage cheese at one corner!!! If we talk about rusks, most of these are made of refined wheat flour or maida which is not healthy. Maida is stripped of all the vital nutrients such as fiber, vitamins,

Celibacy is higher in Gen Z: reasons and its benefits?

-

 New research has revealed that the Generation Z is less active in sex life in comparison to the previous generations. The people in the age group of 18 to 24 years abstain more than their predecessors. Why is this so?

The new study on sex life and people

LoveHoney in collaboration with Kinsey Institute did the research on sex during and after the covid pandemic. Lovehoney’s scientific advisor, Dr. Justin Lehmiller states:

“The study focused on sex and relationships during and after the pandemic, revealing the 18-24 demo to be the least sexually active of all age groups,”

49% of youth in the age group of 18-24 years said that sex during first date is a dealbreaker. The couple differ in their ideas about it. This was significantly higher than 36% in the 25-34 age group and 30% in the 35-45 age group.

The plausible reason for celibacy in gen z

Justin feels that this generation are more happy with their me time. He said:

“A majority of singles came into the summer of 2021 feeling sexually curious and ready to find passionate connection, but were feeling more protective of their ‘me time,’ Gen Z is being less active and overall taking things slower in relationships.”


These people are happy with celibacy and feel it helps them connect with themselves, find internal peace, have self-love, and enhance their mental health. They are sharing their abstinence experiences online. Type the hashtag #celibacy on TikTok and you will know the number of people in this age group who are practicing celibacy. 

Many have completed avoided sex and are resetting goals for it. There are some who are trying to overcome their promiscuous behavior. And others are trying to abstain after a bad split and trying to focus on oneself and their career.  

Is abstinence good or bad?

A lot of myths exist on celibacy and its good and bad things. But none have any solid evidence for it. People claim that abstinence makes a person smarter. But some limited studies have failed to support this myth. And the fact is that it does not have any effect on a person's brain growth or his or her intelligence level. It does help one to concentrate on self which otherwise one usually overlooks. Celibacy can help a person nurture hobbies and leisuretime activities which many nowadays find more interesting than sex. Sex is after all a primitive instinct and humans have the power to control it. Internet and various games allow the people of these days to remain occupied and overcome their emotions. 

Further scientific evidence-based studies on role of celibacy and its effect on a person's life would assist the world to know it better.

Morton's toe: Everything you need to know about your longer second toe

-
Image
 Often, one notices that the second toe of some people is longer than the great toe. People say different things for it. Many of them say that it implies that the owner of such a longer second toe is a dominant, creative, energetic person in real life and very ambitious and peace and happiness-loving. But no one has tried to understand the reason, science, medicine and problems of having such a toe. It is called as Morton’s toe or Greek foot.  What is a Greek foot? Many people in the world have a longer second toe of the foot. Such feature may be on one side or in both the feet. It is called Morton’s toe or Greek foot. The other names for it are Morton’s foot or royal toe. But the reason is not the second toe is longer but the fact is that the first metatarsal below the great toe is shorter. Thus it is not due to the faulty phalanges but due to the difference in height of the metatarsals. Since the second metatarsal is relatively longer than the first metatarsal, the joint at the base

There can be no universal forgiveness! It never exists!

-
Image
Forgiveness or pardon means clearing off the feelings of resentment or revenge towards the offender. In most contexts it implies giving up any expectation of justice. People justify this act of forgiveness from a religious point of view and psychologists justify it as an act that would bring peace to the victim. But my experience tells me that both religion as well as psychologists are absolutely wrong in asking a victim to forgive the evil person. This act is bad from a society point of view and would lead to a rise in crimes and unhappiness. Let me explain in depth with examples. 1. I have a friend in the UK. She is originally from Nigeria. She has two siblings who are married with children and she herself is single and childless. In the year 2009, she had gone to her hometown. There her siblings tortured her physically and mentally and put her under house arrest. They did not want to give her any ancestral property and assets. She managed to free herself with the help of a friend an
