If you are using aluminum foil to pack food, be careful, serious diseases can happen

Welcome to mbctalk,

 Here I am talking about health-related issues that may cause serious problems in future

Generally, we are packing food items in aluminum foil or plastic containers. In this case, the currency of packing aluminum foil in particular has increased greatly. It is also packed in aluminum foil if anything is to be done in restaurants. But food packaged in aluminum foil can also cause serious damage to health.

To pack food items, instead of plastic, steel, clay, bronze, or copper bottles or containers should be used. Home food is full of nutrients. So it should not be packaged in anything that hurts the health.

When the food item is packed in aluminum foil, the material is added to the food. Especially when we pack hot things. Aluminum foil contains chemicals, which are exposed to food that comes in contact with hot food.

Plastics also contain gene estrogen called fatal chemicals, which causes hormonal changes in the body. Changes in the chemical that come from this chemical inhibit the development of children.

Aluminum foil has been used to pack food today from the kitchen to restaurant kitchens everywhere. However, experts refuse to use this item because aluminum foil has aluminum chemicals.

It keeps the food warm. But the chemical contained in it mixes with food, which reaches the body and takes the place of zinc. Zinc is very essential for insulin function in the body.

Many research has found that aluminum can cause Alzheimer's. The use of aluminum foil every day stops brain development. A bone may also be weakened by cooking in aluminum foil. Not only this but the central nervous system can also be damaged by the use of aluminum foil. Therefore, the use of aluminum foil should be avoided as much as possible. 

The World Health Organization has released guidelines for what to do and not do for a healthy lifestyle

Welcome to mbctalk,

The World Health Organization has released some guidelines for the first time on digital health technology. Many people feel that I am fit. But this is wrong when a person gets into a disease when he feels that he is not healthy. Illness does not mean any disease. 

Nowadays obesity or the pain from an infection is a sign of not being healthy. So let's know what we should do and what not to do to stay calm.

1. EXERCISE

What do we do: According to research, 18% of people those who never exercise? Whereas 40 percent of those quit exercising after exercising one month of exercise.

What to do: If you want to lose weight or not reduce weight, you should exercise 30 minutes daily. Exercise five days a week, if not every day possible. 

If you cannot exercise, increase your physical activity as much as possible and stay 30 minutes away.

2. DRINK WATER

What do we do: According to a survey, 60% of people drink only 2-3 glasses of water a day. Many people are suffering from many diseases because of not drinking water.

 Doctors believe that the main cause of rising diseases in the current period is not drinking water

What to do: Take the habit of drinking water for the first morning. Many people say they cannot drink more water. You need to practice this. If you drink two glasses of water daily and one day decide that if you drink 10 glasses of water from today, then it is not possible. 

Gradually, the volume should be increased gradually. Drink more water if you have problems drinking water

3. BREAKFAST

What do we do: Many people do not understand the importance of snacks. However, from doctors to dieticians all people believe that breakfast is necessary for the morning. 

If you are following a diet then morning breakfast is the most important part of it.

What to do: Make a habit of having breakfast in the morning. Decide whether it is too late, but in the morning, eating something from home will only be eaten. If it is not possible to do this, keep the fruit together. 

Keep things that are already in the drawer of the office table, if you have to do breakfast at a time, you can eat something in the office

4. DO NOT SLEEP ENOUGH

What do we do: In the current time, people's life has become so busy that people can sleep for 5-6 hours due to work. Sometimes sleep is not enough to spend more time on gadgets such as mobile, and laptops.

What to do: It is very important to know how you are sleeping at the time of sleep. For example, every day you are taking 7 hours of sleep. But there is no sense of such sleep if someone is raising you frequently. 

You wake up and go back to sleep again, in which the brain does not calm down and sleep does not even finish.

Jogging is more beneficial in the evening, less oxygen is used in the body

Welcome to mbctalk,

In order to stay fit, there have been some surprises in the report for jogging in the morning. A team of scientists has published two reports after research. According to this report, it is more beneficial for people to jog in the evening than in the morning.

In the evening, a person uses 50% less oxygen at the time of jogging and can run with more energy. This is revealed in research by a team of scientists from the Israel Weisman Institute of Science and the Irvine-based University of California

Scientists say that the results of their research may not prove 100% accurate on humans. There are many people who choose to wake up at night or work at night again. While some people are also there, who prefer to work early in the morning

The research team said that jogging has a positive effect on our daily activities. This keeps us fit even if the weather is not suitable for change and health. A bad routine often means sleeping and eating.

Routine affects the person's mentality and limbs. If a person's routine is bad, he may also have a risk of serious diseases like cancer. A person may also have sleep problems. 

It can also go into depression. To prevent all these diseases, one should be involved in daily exercise

In the first research, scientists ran the rat on the treadmill. If the results of this research by the team were compared to 12 people, the result was similar. In 2009, this technique was also tried during the cycling event Tour de France. This cyclist was applied to increase capacity

New features that may change the use of whatsapp

Welcome to mbctalk,

WhatsApp is one of the most widely-used modes of instant messaging globally. The new features that the app gets every few weeks help in sustaining its popularity. While some of these features are incremental changes, some others change the way we use the app.

 These new features are first tested in beta mode. Here are  Some features spotted in WhatsApp beta that promise to change the way you use Whatsapp.

To keep your chats more secure

Already available for iPhone users, this feature was also seen in a testing phase for Android users on beta version 2.19.83. This feature will allow users to add a security layer to the app and will open only according to the settings you have selected. 

After enabling it, you can configure when the authentication feature should lock the app -- Immediately, After 1 minute, After 10 minutes, or after 30 minutes

Blocking the option of taking chat screenshots

In what can easily be called one of the biggest changes that are yet to come to WhatsApp, the instant messaging app will block users to take screenshots of chats, if they enable biometric authentication. This was spotted in WhatsApp beta version 2.19.106

To find out how frequently a message has been forwarded

WhatsApp is also said to be working on rolling out a feature that will tell users how frequently a message has been forwarded. 

Users will also be able to see how many times a message was forwarded in the 'Forwarding Info' tab. This was spotted in WhatsApp beta version 2.19.97.

Changing the way audio files are sent on WhatsApp

As seen in WhatsApp Beta version 2.19.89, this feature is said to allow users to play the audio files before sending it. Also, it will allow them to send 30 audio files at once.

Dark mode for better ‘visibility’

A much-awaited feature on WhatsApp, the dark mode was last seen in WhatsApp Beta version 2.19.87. This model has been seen on various windows of the instant messaging app including main settings, account settings, chats settings, notification settings, and data and storage usage settings

Using multiple apps for videos within WhatsApp

Also seen in the WhatsApp Android Beta version 2.19.86, this feature is claimed to allow users to watch videos from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Streamable even if they switch chat without closing the video. 

Moreover, it will continue to play these videos even if you go to another app, just as long as WhatsApp is running in the background.

Opening links in Whatsapp set to become easier

WhatsApp is also said to working on launching an In-App Browser, which will open when the users will try to open a link. 

This browser is also said to be able to detect if the requested page is not safe to visit. This was seen in WhatsApp Android Beta version 2.19.74.

Stickers are also set to get better

Animated stickers that work sort of like GIFs have been spotted in WhatsApp. These stickers can be included in an existing stickers pack. This feature has allegedly been spotted in all three operating systems -- Android, iOS, and Web.

Hiding chats may become simpler

WhatsApp is said to be working on adding an option that will allow its users control of whether chats get unarchived when a new message arrives. Currently, when you archive a chat, WhatsApp automatically unarchives it once a new message arrives from that chat. This was spotted in WhatsApp Beta version 2.19.101.

Checking if an image sent is fake or real

Seen in WhatsApp Beta version 2.19.73, this feature is said to allow users to search for an image on the internet that you sent/received in your chats. 

In other words, users will be able to check whether any news or information related to that image is fake or real.

World Hemophilia Day 17th April

Welcome to mbctalk,

This year, the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) is focusing on reaching out and identifying new members of the bleeding disorders community. 

For many years, the WFH has supported outreach projects in different countries and conducted educational events for both lay and healthcare professionals in conjunction with our national member organizations (NMOs).

The WHD 2019 campaign will feature examples of WFH outreach initiatives such as organizing regional workshops, raising awareness of bleeding through media coverage or training health professionals, and collecting data. 

It will combine these examples with submissions from our community about outreach efforts in their own regions or ideas about what would be helpful for future initiatives.

Each year, numerous landmarks change their lighting to red, the color associated with awareness of bleeding disorders. National organizations, health treatment centers, patient groups, and their partners around the world conduct or get involved in media events, awareness campaigns, and special activities organized for the day.

Inside Changi Airport Singapore's new 'Jewel,' home to world's tallest indoor waterfall

Welcome to mbctalk,

A seven-story waterfall designed by Safdie Architects has become the shining focal point of Singapore’s Jewel Changi Airport. The 130-foot “Rain Vortex” is supplied by collected rainwater, and flows at the center of a greenhouse topped by an inverted glass dome. 

Nearly 10,000 gallons of water are pumped through the circular installation per minute from a centralized oculus in the middle of the space.

 The overhead dome is composed of gridded glass thick enough to absorb any noise created by the aircraft taking off and landing and was tested to ensure it wouldn’t give off any distracting reflections to nearby air traffic controllers.

The new addition also includes five stories of shopping, a netted play area, and a terraced garden called the Shiseido Forest Valley that is dotted with smaller waterfalls accessed by trails. 

Although the waterfall at Jewel Changi Airport has just opened, it will soon be eclipsed as the tallest after the 2020 completion of a 164-feet-tall waterfall installed at Grimshaw‘s upcoming Qingdao Eden Project.
