When to Have Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner to Get Maximum Benefits?
When we wake up, the first thing that comes to put mind is what to have for breakfast. After finishing it, we start thinking about lunch and then about dinner. This shows that food is one of the most important parts of our lives. One day we skip a meal, and our body starts reacting in a different way. While what we eat matters, another thing that plays a part is when we eat our meals. The time of having breakfast, lunch and dinner are vital to determine many health benefits. There is a common saying, “Early to bed, early to rise, makes us healthy, wealthy and wise.” Let’s turn it up a little and say, early dinner and early breakfast are all you need to be healthy and smart. Let’s look at the correct timing of having different meals and how it benefits our body. Timing Breakfast: Breakfast is the first meal of the day which makes our guts wake up.

United States Crosses Grim Milestone of 1 Million Covid-19 Deaths
The U.S. death toll from COVID-19 hit 1 million on Monday, a once-unimaginable figure that only hints at the multitudes of loved ones and friends staggered by grief and frustration. The confirmed number of dead is equivalent to a 9/11 attack every day for 336 days. It is roughly equal to how many Americans died in the Civil War and World War II combined. It’s as if Boston and Pittsburgh were wiped out. It is hard to imagine a million people plucked from this earth, said Jennifer Nuzzo, who leads a new pandemic center at the Brown University School of Public Health in Providence, Rhode Island. Its still happening and we are letting it happen. Some of those left behind say they cannot return to normal. They replay their loved ones' voicemail messages. Or watch old videos to see them dance. When other people say they are done with the virus, they bristle with anger or ache in silence. 'Normal.' I hate that word, said Julie Wallace, 55, of Elyria, Ohio, who lost her husband to … [Read more...] about United States Crosses Grim Milestone of 1 Million Covid-19 Deaths
Yoon’s plans for Gender Ministry are up in the air
In a press conference held near the National Assembly in Yeouido, western Seoul, on Monday, a coalition of women’s groups urge President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol to follow through on his campaign promise to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. [YONHAP] The head of President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol’s transition team said the campaign pledge to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family has "not been scrapped," but refused to specify whether the ministry would be allowed to live on. When asked by reporters during a press conference Monday whether Yoon was serious about getting rid of the ministry, Ahn Cheol-soo said Yoon would choose from several "feasible policy directions" reported to him by his aides. The ministry, which is supposed to advance women’s rights, has been accused by some men and even some women's civic groups of intensifying gender rifts. Anti-feminists call the ministry’s very existence “reverse discrimination,” saying women shouldn’t be entitled to … [Read more...] about Yoon’s plans for Gender Ministry are up in the air

‘Help us bring the communities together’
In this second and concluding part of a one-hour interview given to N. Ram at ‘Temple Trees' in Colombo, Mahinda Rajapaksa , Sri Lanka's President, responds to questions about his ambitious initiative for a trilingual Sri Lanka, the role of the English language, the contentious 18th constitutional amendment, the jailing and conviction of General Sarath Fonseka, the status and future of 11,000 hard-core LTTE cadres and supporters, and relations with India. You have taken a special interest in language policy. You have announced a Ten Year Presidential Initiative for a Trilingual Sri Lanka and before that the initiative to promote English. This seems to have been thought out over the long term. How do you see this going? Last year was the Year of English and Information Technology. With that the people started spoken English, they started learning English. So I thought the best thing was that all Sinhalese must learn Tamil now, the Tamils must learn Sinhala, and they must all … [Read more...] about ‘Help us bring the communities together’
Lacking vaccines, North Korea battles Covid-19 with antibiotics and home remedies
SEOUL, May 16 (Reuters): Standing tall in bright red hazmat suits, five North Korean health workers stride towards an ambulance to do battle with a Covid-19 outbreak that - in the presumed absence of vaccines - the country is using antibiotics and home remedies to treat. The isolated state is one of only two countries yet to begin a vaccination campaign and, until last week, had insisted it was COVID-free. Now it is mobilizing forces including the army and a public information campaign to combat what authorities have acknowledged is an "explosive" outbreak. In an interview on state television on Monday, Vice Minister of Public Health Kim Hyong Hun said the country had switched from a quarantine to a treatment system to handle the hundreds of thousands of suspected "fever" cases reported each day. The broadcaster showed footage of the hazmat team, and masked workers opening windows, cleaning desks and machines and spraying disinfectant. To treat Covid and its symptoms, state … [Read more...] about Lacking vaccines, North Korea battles Covid-19 with antibiotics and home remedies
Boris Johnson and Irish foreign minister share hope for ‘landing zone’ on Northern Ireland Protocol ahead of crisis talks
The prime minister is expected in Northern Ireland today as efforts to break the political deadlock at Stormont intensify. Boris Johnson will hold talks with party leaders and attempt to persuade the Democratic Unionists to enter the power sharing government. Sinn Fein is now the largest party but its vice president, Michelle O'Neill, cannot become first minister without a Unionist deputy first minister. The DUP has blocked the formation of a new devolved administration over the Northern Ireland Protocol and resulting sea border. Boris Johnson may be forced to choose between a government in Belfast or the treaty he agreed with the EU. Advertisement Sky News political editor Beth Rigby understands that the aim is to work towards restoring democracy and "safeguarding peace" by "addressing the legitimate concerns that prevent the majority community (unionists) from power sharing with Sinn Fein." Despite the sabre-rattling about legislating unilaterally … [Read more...] about Boris Johnson and Irish foreign minister share hope for ‘landing zone’ on Northern Ireland Protocol ahead of crisis talks
‘Vikram’ audio launch: Suriya plays a cameo, Kamal Haasan and Pa Ranjith to collaborate
A young Lokesh Kanagaraj used to often hear stories of how Kamal Haasan would go to the terrace of his Alwarpet residence to get fresh air, and would sometimes wave at fans waiting below. A then aspiring director and fanboy, Lokesh would roam around Kamal’s house with the harboured hope that the star would one day wave at him. All that Lokesh hoped for was a wave from Kamal. But he landed the rare opportunity to say ‘action and cut’ to his “cinema aandavar ”. And that too in his fourth film, Vikram , which marks Kamal’s 232 film. Speaking at the recent audio and trailer launch of Vikram , Lokesh recalled his journey thus far which now seems to have come a full circle. “I am a believer. I have told this many times, I learnt all aspects of filmmaking by watching Kamal sir’s films. I’ve been blessed to have this opportunity to work with him. I believe in commitment towards work. Before Vikram , there was a nine-year journey that has led to where I am today. From day one, there … [Read more...] about ‘Vikram’ audio launch: Suriya plays a cameo, Kamal Haasan and Pa Ranjith to collaborate
Struggling with the cost of living? The Tories think it’s all your own fault
Scarcely a day seems to go by without some Tory MP making a fool of themselves by wading in and trying to be helpful to people struggling with the cost of living crisis. It’s getting to be like Wordle, a regular little tweet – you know it’s coming, even though you can’t say exactly what it will be – in this case, which particular backbencher or member of the government will come up with some outstandingly patronising piece of “advice”. Unlike Wordle, however, what the Tories say is an insult to intelligence. The latest one is somebody called Rachel Maclean, who is a junior minister in charge of safeguarding and partly responsible for that great public policy success – the Afghan refugee resettlement scheme. Her top tip for folks in poverty is to go out and get a better job , and if you can’t do that then beg your employer to let you work longer hours. In her words: “We have often heard in the past when people are facing problems with their budgets that one of the … [Read more...] about Struggling with the cost of living?
