Healthy Mind ,Healthy body


        Food is medicine. Every piece of fruit, every sandwich, and every potato chip that you put into your mouth has complex biochemical messages for your body. Most fruits are anti-inflammatory and prevent heart disease and cancer. Potato chips (because they’re fried and they increase blood sugar) increase inflammation and the risk for heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. When we choose to eat an anti-inflammatory diet—rich in dark-colored fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and healthy fats, such as olive oil or avocados—we reduce our risk of all chronic diseases. And when we limit or avoid inflammatory foods, such as processed foods (especially those with hydrogenated oils), fried foods, and sugar, we further reduce our risk of all chronic diseases.

The first step in nourishing your body is to be choosy about what you put into it. It’s important to keep in mind that foods that work for someone else may not work for you! Be sure you use your own body intelligence to decide, for example, if whole wheat bread makes you feel fabulous (all those B vitamins and great fiber and protein content) or makes you feel ill (because you are gluten allergic or intolerant). The second step is to be sure your body can digest and assimilate those good nutrients. The normal functioning of your digestive tract is absolutely essential to your health, affecting your immunity, your nutritional status, and even your mood—so much so that I often refer to the digestive tract as your abdominal brain.

Several foods and supplements are helpful in maintaining our digestion. As we age, some of us produce fewer digestive enzymes and less stomach acid, which reduces our ability to absorb certain vitamins and nutrients. If you have surprisingly low levels of vitamins D or B12, you may suffer from a lack of stomach acid or digestive enzymes. This may also be the case if you have stomach upset with fatty meals or suffer from loose stools. You can purchase digestive enzymes at any reputable health food or vitamin store and try taking one to two before meals. If you note an improvement in your digestion, or even your energy level, you may want to consider taking them regularly, particularly with large or heavy meals.

Understanding the basics of cloud computing

  Understanding the basics of cloud computing Cloud computing is taking the world by storm. In fact, 94% of workloads and compute instances will be  processed through cloud data centers  by 2021, compared to only 6% by traditional data centers, according to research by Cisco. The principle of the cloud isn’t new, but as more and more companies and businesses switch to cloud-based services, it’s important to understand the nuances of cloud computing terminology and concepts. What is the cloud? For non-techies out there, the cloud might be an intimidating and nebulous concept. We hear about cloud computing all the time, but what exactly does it mean? The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) describes the  basics of cloud computing  this way: Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisio

New Earth-sized planet

  New Earth-sized planet found in habitable sweet-spot orbit around a distant star Researchers have  discovered a new Earth-sized planet   orbiting a star outside our solar system. The planet, called Kepler-1649c, is only around 1.06 times larger than Earth, making it very similar to our own planet in terms of physical dimensions. It’s also quite close to its star, orbiting at a distance that means it gets around 75% of the light we do from the Sun. The planet’s star is a red dwarf, which is more prone to the kind of flares that might make it difficult for life to have evolved on its rocky satellite’s surface, unlike here in our own neighborhood. It orbits so closely to its star, too, that one year is just 19.5 of our days — but the star puts out significantly less heat than the Sun, so that’s actually right in the proper region to allow for the presence of liquid water. Kepler-1649c was found by scientists digging into existing observations gathered by the Kepler space telescope befor

Does the Sun tempreture prevent the Covid19 disease ?

Exposing yourself to the sun or to temperatures higher than 25C degrees DOES NOT prevent the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) You can catch COVID-19, no matter how sunny or hot the weather is. Countries with hot weather have reported cases of COVID-19. To protect yourself, make sure you clean your hands frequently and thoroughly and avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.
