How to take control on our food with calorie control.

Humans are prone to fall for exaggerated versions of reality. Junk food, for example, drives our reward systems into a frenzy. After spending hundreds of thousands of years hunting and foraging for food in the wild, the human brain has evolved to place a high value on salt, sugar, and fat. Such foods are often calorie-dense and they were quite rare when our ancient ancestors were roaming the savannah. When you don’t know where your next meal is coming from, eating as much as possible is an excellent strategy for survival.

Today, however, we live in a calorie-rich environment. Food is abundant, but your brain continues to crave it like it is scarce. The whole focus is on showing value on salt, sugar, and fat although its not advantageous to our health, but the craving persists because the brain’s reward centers have not changed for approximately fifty thousand years. The modern food industry relies on stretching our instincts beyond their evolutionary purpose.
With natural, unprocessed foods, you tend to experience the same sensations over and over—how’s that seventeenth bite of spinach taste? After a few minutes, your brain loses interest and you begin to feel full. But foods that are high in dynamic contrast keep the experience novel and interesting, encouraging you to eat more.
Ultimately, such strategies enable food scientists to find the “bliss point” for each product—the precise combination of salt, sugar, and fat that excites your brain and keeps you coming back for more. 
The result, of course, is that you overeat because hyperpalatable foods are more attractive to the human brain. As Stephan Guyenet, a neuroscientist who specializes in eating  behavior and obesity, says, “We’ve gotten too good at pushing our own buttons.”

This is the reason we keep putting on weight unknowingly and one day wonder how I become obese.

  CONSTIPATION Study shows that more than 20% of people in India are suffering from #constipation. The stomach is not cleaned properly because of lifestyle issues. Due to constipation, there are many problems during defecation. People suffering from this have to go for defecation several times.   On the other hand, the person suffering from not getting the stomach cleaned properly feels tired throughout the day. A person suffering from constipation has to eat and drink very carefully. Ayurveda says imbalance between any of the three doshas, ie Vata, Pitta, Kapha can cause constipation. Thus our body gets surrounded by many lifestyle issues. This is often due to carelessness in food and lifestyle, leading to many times the food we eat is not digested & the stool becoming dry and hard, and bowel movements are not possible at the right time. Apart from carelessness constipation can also be caused by   -The lack of fibre in the diet.   -Spicy food   -White flour   -Fried food -Drinking

Is mental health equally important?

A few months ago, I attended a party at my friend's place. I met many known and unknown people at the party. Everyone was enjoying themselves. People were dancing, drinking, talking, singing, playing etc. Few of them were colleagues, so they were, as usual, discussing their agendas. So, the party was organized by my friend in honour of his son who won an award. Some of his colleagues were wishing him, some were upset, and some were jealous. But everyone was there to wish him despite how they felt about it.  I realized people are not happy from the inside or hide their emotions. They are discussing office work at the party. We are all trying hard to balance our personal and professional life. Personal life depends on how we handle our relationships with family and friends. In professional life, things are easy because of automated processes and optimized schedules. But we tend to forget about mental health. Today the competition is very high and everyone is struggling to win but end
