A, B and C of Health

A for Appetite and Thirst

B for Brain Health

C for Culture

There is a proliferation of posts in the Internet regarding Health and Diet. 

I did a bit of search and realized these guys and girls are more interested in page hits and advertisements.

I have two sayings.

Even bad things can be advertised without peer review in the Internet.

Even a bad advertisement is good, if one is in to Insurance Business. Guys and Girls in insurance business work on alluring gullible individuals.

They are interested in the first 3 installments from which the prime seller derives substantial benefits. 
They have no control on subsequent installments, if the seller is not in the team.

Internet is cheap and a cesspool and anybody can access it and many of the claims are never substantiated.

Regarding Health and Diet what is most important is Common Sense.

A 
A is appetite and taste.
If one does not have hunger do not eat.

Two or there meals is a cultural habit.

Breakfast is the most important. In busy world it should cover at least 4 to 5 hours.
If one does that diligently, one can easily throw the so called lunch out of the window.

I use to have a glass of milk and big banana for lunch and TEA was my driving force.

Then one can think of the supper leisurely which can be prepared quickly or elaborately or even skip altogether.

I am a guy who says, a single meal a day was good enough for a prehistoric hunter, gatherer.


B
B is for Brain Health.

What brain needs is B Vitamins and MCTs which coconut oil is rich in. 

A banana, an avocado and pumpkin can provide all the brain vitamins and additionally vitamins A, C and E which are antioxidants.

C
C is one's culture.

One should learn to respect each culture on its merits.

One should not go to UK, USA and Australia and ask them to become vegetarians.

Similarly one should not go to India and tell them to prepare meat like in USA.

Let them make a masala.

Japanese eat raw fish which is revolting to me.

Koreans eat dog meat (their own dogs).

Muslims eat peacocks rared in their own home and their Halal system is a cultural norm.

Why Jews and Muslims do not eat pork is another enigma.

I come from a background that all animals have the right to live their own lives and snarl at anybody who keeps animal other than cats and dogs (domesticated).

I am against Buddhist monks who keep elephants in their temples. It is totally against Avihinsa or Compassion in Buddhism.

Elephants belong to the jungle!

Biology

Abstract thinking was not my forte.

Biology was my fascination.

Diversity of leaf structure was my first research item.

Frogs, toads, cockroaches, butterflies and dragon flies were my interests.

Fortunately or unfortunately I ended up in medicine and never delved into nature until well past 50.

Water plants and orchids were added to the long list.

But, all this started with simple observation.

In a glass bottle, I put a rolled up filter paper leaving just enough space for  bean seeds to stick in. Soil in the middle and bit of water for moisture was my biosphere.

Sun, water, soil and air.

Presto!

A root, a shoot and a pair of leaves.

Invariably, leaves face the sun.
Never towards the center of earth which ever angle the bean seed is placed (erect, horizontal or at an angle,)

Roots toward the center of the earth.

Night and day cycle.

That is all.

Reality of nature.

It is not God that gives the signal.

It is all built in within the seed.

It is the mother earth that is in control of all life on this planet.

The earth is a living being.

Why are we destroying it with War?

Disregarding God and without abstract thinking, a little scientist was born.

He is still alive in me.

It is not a soul but it is little me.

Reality

Reality is simple.

Keen observation power is the only tool one needs.

I never had the dream of becoming a big  or a successful guy.

I never wanted to fly to the moon or mars.

But I was fascinated by planes.

Getting in to plane and travel from Northern hemisphere to the Southern hemisphere was my dream.

Doing that on my own money not on a free scholarship was the simple game plan.

Airfares were cheap then, but after coronavirus epidemic airlines have unfairly jacked up the prices.

Even food prices have gone up including alcohol. After I have published the book on "Charms of Alcohol", I even refuse wine.

Beer was Rs.1.80/= as an undergraduate.

I even spirited King Coconut Wine in the distant past.

Reality is every godforsaken item has gone up in price.

All this due to Ukraine War and nobody blames Zelensky!

It is time to kick the bucket and say Hi to President Putin from heaven!

Reality and Abstract

My gut feeling was to stop blogging here well before US and Ceylon Elections.

Politicians are shoddy people and there followers are stupid to the core.

I have decided NOT to educate simple folks and let them live in their own delusional state.

Whereas, I do not want to give an inch to the politicians to hoodwink the masses with hope and bright economic outcome.

Let the politicians sink on their own mess.

Having said that, I deleted my long piece here to avoid misinterpretation of my own logic and reason by visitors here.

For example, a guy picked my "Uncertainty Principle"  a physics reasoning of mine. This guy made YouTube presentation extending Uncertainty Principle on a  metaphysical level. Metaphysics by definition is outside of the material world.

It was like tail wagging the dog.

If you read my piece on philosophy here on this blog post, the real philosophers work on abstract thinking and there is no limit to abstract thinking.

All religions are derived from abstract thinking. None of these religions can delve into reality.

Reality is simple but even rich guys like Elon Musk and Bronson take reality as an extension of abstract imagination.


Reality

1. We are one gravity people. We cannot neither live on space nor on Mars.
By the way, Mars do not have plate tectonics and rock formation. It has a thick mantle.
I am not sure if there is any water in its belly.

2. Without water man cannot survive.

70% of our brain is water.
60% of our body is water.

Infant 80%
Water intoxication and electrolyte imbalance are critical in new born babies.

Baby 70%

Man 60%

Woman 50

3. We are 24/7 people and any alteration in our sleep/awake cycle alter our melatonin secretion and biorhythm.
This leads to confusion and impair critical thinking.

4. Van Allan Belt is not narrow.

5. Even Moons atmosphere is alien to humans.
Its geostationary (we never see the darker side) orbit is not conducive for our melatonin secretion.

The bottom line is let only rich people spend their money on rockets and we ordinary people think of global warming and biodiversity.
