Cultured meat (Lab grown meat)

Cultured meat (also known by other names like lab grown meat , artificial meat is occasionally used) is meat produced by culturing animal cells in vitro. It is a form of cellular agriculture.

Lab-grown meat or Cultured meat is a genetically engineered product that uses biotechnology. 

Cultured meat is produced using tissue engineering techniques pioneered in regenerative medicine. Jason Matheny popularized the concept in the early 2000s after he co-authored a paper on cultured meat production and created New Harvest, the world's first nonprofit organization dedicated to in-vitro meat research.

Cultured meat has the potential to address the environmental impact of meat production, animal welfare, food security and human health, in addition to its potential mitigation of climate change.

In 2013, Mark Post created a hamburger patty made from tissue grown outside of an animal. Since then, other cultured meat prototypes have gained media attention: SuperMeat opened a farm-to-fork restaurant called "The Chicken" in Tel Aviv to test consumer reaction to its "Chicken" burger, while the "world's first commercial sale of cell-cultured meat" occurred in December 2020 at Singapore restaurant 1880, where cultured meat manufactured by US firm Eat Just was sold.

While most efforts focus on common meats such as pork, beef, and chicken which constitute the bulk of consumption in developed countries, companies such as Orbillion Bio focused on high end or unusual meats including elk, lamb, bison, and Wagyu beef. Avant Meats brought cultured grouper to market in 2021, while other companies have pursued different species of fish and other seafood.

The production process is constantly evolving, driven by companies and research institutions. The applications for cultured meat led to ethical, health, environmental, cultural, and economic discussions. Data published by the non-governmental organization Good Food Institute found that in 2021 cultivated meat companies attracted $140 million in Europe. Cultured meat is mass-produced in Israel. The first restaurant to serve cultured meat opened in Singapore in 2021.

Nomenclature 

Besides cultured meat, the terms healthy meat, slaughter-free meat, in vitro meat, vat-grown meat, lab-grown meat,cell-based meat, clean meat, cultivated meat and synthetic meat have been used to describe the product. Artificial meat is occasionally used, although that specific term has multiple definitions.

Why was need felt for cultured meat

70 billion land animals, and possibly trillions of marine animals, are killed for human consumption each year. A majority of these animals are raised in factory farms, where they experience brutal forms of abuse in severely overcrowded and putrid conditions for the entirety of their short lives.

Major meat producers often defend factory farming as the most efficient way to meet the global demand for meat. But evidence shows that these facilities are disastrous for the environment, nearby communities, consumer health, and animal welfare.

It shouldn’t have to be this way. It's time to fix our broken food system. It's time to look for alternatives. Lab-grown meat could hold the key.

bs are only involved now, in order to support ongoing research and development. Once they begin to produce at scale, lab-grown meat companies will swap out laboratories for facilities that resemble microbreweries—a far cry from the industrial farms that profit off of the horrific exploitation, abuse, and slaughter of sentient .

Environmental effects 

The scientific research is clear: factory farming is an environmental disaster. The industrial farming of animals is a major driver of climate change, deforestation, air and water pollution, and other planetary hazards.

Industrial livestock systems – particularly cattle farms – are responsible for the emission of huge quantities of greenhouse gases like CO₂ and methane. But growing meat from cells can have a similar – and sometimes even worse – environmental footprint.

How is lab grown meat made

Instead of killing animals for their meat, the process of making lab-grown meat starts with the careful removal of a small number of muscle cells from a living animal, typically using local anesthesia to provide relief from pain. The animal will experience a momentary twinge of discomfort, not unlike the feeling of getting a routine blood test at the doctor’s office. This process is much less harmful than the lifetime of pain and terror animals experience leading up to their horrific final moments at the slaughter house.

Lab grown meat has the exact same animal cells as what we traditionally consider “meat”—the flesh of an animal. The difference has to do with how it gets to your plate: lab-grown meat comes from cells harvested from a living animal, while conventional meat comes from an animal that’s raised and killed for human consumption.

Then, a lab technician places the harvested cells in bioreactors before adding them to a bath of nutrients. The cells grow and multiply, producing real muscle tissue, which scientists then shape into edible “scaffoldings.” Using these scaffoldings, they can transform lab-grown cells into steak, chicken nuggets, hamburger patties, or salmon sashimi. The final product is a real cut of meat, ready to be marinated, breaded, grilled, baked, or fried—no animal slaughter required.

First public trial 

The first cultured beef burger patty was created by Mark Post at Maastricht University in 2013.[54] It was made from over 20,000 thin strands of muscle tissue, cost over $300,000 and needed 2 years to produce.

The burger was tested on live television in London on 5 August 2013. It was cooked by chef Richard McGeown of Couch's Great House Restaurant, Polperro, Cornwall, and tasted by critics Hanni Rützler, a food researcher from the Future Food Studio, and Josh Schonwald. Rützler stated, "There is really a bite to it, there is quite some flavour with the browning. I know there is no fat in it so I didn't really know how juicy it would be, but there is quite some intense taste; it's close to meat, it's not that juicy, but the consistency is perfect. This is meat to me... It's really something to bite on and I think the look is quite similar." Rützler added that even in a blind trial she would have taken the product for meat rather than a soya copy.

Lab grown meat effects

Some scientists and their research shows some concerns about Meat produced from cultured cells could be 25 times worse for the climate than regular beef unless scientists find ways to overhaul energy-intensive steps in its production.

Some researchers speculate that depending on the efficiency of the production process, the rise of the cultured meat industry could actually make climate change worse than traditional beef production. One issue is the longer lasting impact of carbon pollution versus methane gas pollution.

"Lab meat doesn't solve anything from an environmental perspective, since the energy emissions are so high," said Marco Springmann, a senior environmental researcher at the University of Oxford.

Some lab-grown meat contains an animal by-product known as fetal bovine serum (FBS). Slaughterhouses obtain fetal bovine serum by collecting blood from the unborn calves of pregnant cows after they’re killed. San Francisco-based lab-grown meat producer Eat Just uses a “very low level” of the serum in its chicken, which is the first lab-grown meat product to hit the market.

However, companies are quickly pivoting to find alternatives to FBS. In response to ethical concerns about using a slaughter house by product in the otherwise lab-grown meat, Dutch startup Mosa Meat revealed this year that it had successfully eliminated FBS from its process. Eat Just is also developing an animal-free alternative to fetal bovine serum.

Scientists are working for try to make lab grown meat more healthy which full fill nutritions requirements with in  low cast.

History

The theoretical possibility of growing meat in an industrial setting has long been of interest. In a 1931 essay published by various periodicals and later included in his work Thoughts and Adventures, British statesman Winston Churchill wrote: "We shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium."

Initial research 

In the 1950s, Dutch researcher Willem van Eelen independently came up with the idea for cultured meat. As a prisoner of war during the Second World War, Van Eelen suffered from starvation, leaving him passionate about food production and food security. He attended a university lecture discussing the prospects of preserved meat. The earlier discovery of cell lines provided the basis for the idea.

Vitro cultivation of first muscle fibers 

In vitro cultivation of muscle fibers was first performed successfully in 1971 when pathologist Russel Ross cultured guinea-pig aorta.

Tissue engineering 

In 1991, Jon F. Vein secured patent US 6835390 for the production of tissue-engineered meat for human consumption, wherein muscle and fat would be grown in an integrated fashion to create food products.

Cultured meat production 

In 2001, dermatologist Wiete Westerhof along with van Eelen and businessperson Willem van Kooten announced that they had filed for a worldwide patent on a process to produce cultured meat.[43] The process employed a matrix of collagen seeded with muscle cells bathed in a nutritious solution and induced to divide.

That same year, NASA began conducting cultured meat experiments, with the intent of allowing astronauts to grow meat instead of transporting it. In partnership with Morris Benjaminson, they cultivated goldfish and turkey.

In 2003, Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr exhibited a few centimeters of "steak", grown from frog stem cells, which they cooked and ate. The goal was to start a conversation surrounding the ethics of cultured meat—"was it ever alive?", "was it ever killed?", "is it in any way disrespectful to an animal to throw it away?"

In the early 2000s, American public health student Jason Matheny traveled to India and visited a factory chicken farm. He was appalled by the implications of this system. Matheny later teamed up with three scientists involved in NASA's efforts. In 2004, Matheny founded New Harvest to encourage development by funding research. In 2005 the four published the first peer-reviewed literature on the subject.

In 2008, PETA offered a $1 million prize to the first company to bring cultured chicken meat to consumers by 2012. The contestant was required to complete two tasks to earn the prize:

- produce a cultured chicken meat product that was indistinguishable from real chicken and

- produce the product in large enough quantities to be competitively sold in at least 10 states.

The contest was later extended until 4 March 2014. The deadline eventually expired without a winner.

In 2008, the Dutch government invested $4 million into experiments regarding cultured meat. The In Vitro Meat Consortium, a group formed by international researchers, held the first international conference hosted by the Food Research Institute of Norway in April. Time magazine declared cultured meat production to be one of the 50 break through ideas of 2009. In November 2009, scientists from the Netherlands announced they had managed to grow meat using cells from a live pig.

First public trial

The first cultured beef burger patty was created by Mark Post at Maastricht University in 2013. It was made from over 20,000 thin strands of muscle tissue, cost over $300,000 and needed 2 years to produce.

Industrial development

Between 2011 and 2017, many cultured meat startups were launched. Memphis Meats (now Upside Foods[58]) launched a video in February 2016, showcasing its cultured beef meatball. In March 2017, it showcased chicken tenders and duck a l'orange, the first cultured poultry shown to the public.

An Israeli company, SuperMeat, ran a crowdfunding campaign in 2016, for its work on cultured chicken.

Finless Foods, a San Francisco-based company working on cultured fish, was founded in June 2016. In March 2017 it commenced laboratory operations.

In March 2018, Eat Just (in 2011 founded as Hampton Creek in San Francisco, later known as Just, Inc.) claimed to be able to offer a consumer product from cultured meat by the end of 2018. According to CEO Josh Tetrick the technology was already there. JUST had about 130 employees and a research department of 55 scientists, where cultured meat from poultry, pork and beef was researched. JUST has received investments from Chinese billionaire Li Ka-shing, Yahoo! co-founder Jerry Yang and according to Tetrick also by Heineken International and others.

On 27 April 2022, the European Commission approved the request for the collection of signatures for the European Citizens' Initiative End The Slaughter Age to shift subsidies from animal husbandry to cellular agriculture.

Market entry

European Union 

In the European Union, novel foods such as cultured meat products have to go through a testing period of about 18 months during which a company must prove to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) that their product is safe. In March 2022, cultured meat producers had reached the level of attempting to gain regulatory approval from European Union supranational institutions coming just before mass goods could be sold to consumers. By February 2023, none had yet submitted a novel food dossier for approval by the EFSA. Legal experts explained this as having to do with the fact that, although the EFSA's novel food procedure has been well-established since 1997 (unlike in other jurisdictions, that still have or had to develop certain regulatory standards), it is a long and complicated process in which companies can have little imput once they have submitted their request, unlike cultured meat startups in the United States (who could easily communicate back and forth with the FDA to clarify any issues), and in the UK, Singapore and Israel (where governments have implemented a 'single point of contact' responsible for the overall process).

Israel

In November 2020, SuperMeat opened a 'test restaurant' in Ness Ziona, Israel, right next to its pilot plant; journalists, experts and a small number of consumers could book an appointment to taste the novel food there, while looking through a glass window into the production facility on the other side. The restaurant was not yet fully open to the public, because as of June 2021 SuperMeat still needed to wait for regulatory approval to start mass production for public consumption, and because the COVID-19 pandemic restricted restaurant operations. By February 2023, Israeli authorities had established a regulatory structure similar to that of Singapore, and shown a general willingness to work towards approval (as well as financing research for cultivated food innovation), but were still in the process of developing safety regulations in consultations with researchers and other experts. For example, the Israeli Health Ministry and UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) co-organised a convention of cultivated food safety regulation experts in September 2022.

Singapore

On 2 December 2020, the Singapore Food Agency approved the "chicken bites" produced by Eat Just for commercial sale. It marked the first time that a cultured meat product passed the safety review (which took 2 years) of a food regulator, and was widely regarded as a milestone for the industry. The chicken bits were scheduled for introduction in Singaporean restaurants. Restaurant "1880" became the first to serve cultured meat to customers on Saturday 19 December 2020. In January 2023, the SFA also granted regulatory approval for the production of cultured meat with serum-free media to Eat Just' subsidiary GOOD Meat, which had introduced its clean chicken product in several more Singaporese restaurants as well as hawker centres and food delivery services since 2020, and was constructing the bioreactors for its new facility in Singapore. This world-first approval was said to be a milestone in making cultivated meat production more scalable and efficient.

United States

In May 2022, Finless Foods launched pokè-style plant-based tuna product at National Restaurant Association's Show, with availability at restaurants and foodservice operators across the United States. In November 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) completed the pre-market consultation of Upside Foods (formerly Memphis Meats), concluding that its products were safe to eat, a first for cultivated meat companies in the United States.[99] Only the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) still had to finalise the labelling and inspection process; as of April 2023, this last hurdle to U.S. market entry was expected to be overcome somewhere in 2023.

7 Tips to Get Rid of Double Chin

You can get rid of double chin at home without spending any money with these home remedies

People who want to lose weight are often more concerned about the accumulation of fat in certain places, the most important and notable of which is the fatty tissue that accumulates under the chin, also known as the double chin.  Sometimes the problem of double chin is not only due to excess weight but also due to aging.  The underlying tissue called the muscularis myelohyoids loses elasticity and begins to sag.  It does not have any negative effects on health, but it is ugly to look at and many people feel a lack of self-confidence due to it.  To hide it, many people, especially women, resort to muffler or cosmetics, but this is only a temporary solution to this problem.  Apart from this, surgery is also done to get rid of it, but it is a very painful and expensive method.

Using this tea also makes the skin flexible.  The antioxidants present in it help in burning excess calories.  Drink three cups of green tea a day.  Apart from this, skin massage can also be done with green tea bags.

3. Massage 

Cocoa butter has moisturizing properties that heal sagging skin and also get rid of dead cells.  The antioxidant present in it removes the effects of aging on the skin.  It provides moisture to the skin and makes it elastic.  Heat 1 to 2 spoons of cocoa butter a little. Then apply it on the face, a little more on the neck.  Massage gently for 15 minutes.  Move the hands slightly away from the neck.  Repeat this process every night.

Milk top or olive oil and honey mixture massage or egg lemon and honey mixture massage also helps to reduced a dobule chin .

4. Neck exercise

Neck muscles often become loose due to lack of movement.  Because of which, fat starts to accumulate under a little.  Roll the neck round at least twice a day.  This will eliminate double chin very quickly. Another exercise is Keeping your back straight, look straight up at the sky exactly as you see it for 5 seconds while keeping your neck slightly rigid and then after 5 seconds come back to the normal position.

You should also do this exercise 2 to 3 times a day for several weeks.

 5. Body position

The way we sit has a profound effect on our body composition.  Always keep your spine straight while reading newspaper or book.  Do not keep the neck bent for a long time.  Bending or pulling the head too far down or back can cause some skin to hang.  Always sit and stand with a straight back.  Do not hold the phone between your neck and ear without using your hands.

 6.  Food choice

Beware of weight-gaining foods that contain sodium, sugar, and junk food.  Use fresh fruits and vegetables.  Drinking too much water also creates tension in the skin and makes it elastic.  Apart from this, the consumption of vitamin E is also useful in such things as dry fruits, sugarcane, apples, dairy products, green vegetables, beans, brown rice and cabbage etc.

7. Chin vibrater

In market several fat burning chin vibraters are available at low rate which you can easily use at home daily bases to rid of double chin.

Out of these home remedies some non surgical clinical process is also very effective for 

Submental adiposity, or submental fat, is the scientific term for a double chin.

Deoxycholic acid

Some injections containg deoxycholic acid, a molecule found in the human body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

When injected into submental fat, destroys fat cells and preventing the body from storing fat in the chin area.

CoolSculpting

Another non-surgical option for patients to consider is CoolSculpting.

This option utilizes a process known as cryolipolysis, where a device freezes and destroys the fat cells by subjecting them to freezing temperatures approximately 45 minutes by this means we can rid of double chin.

An overview of all vitamins from vitamin "A" to vitamin "K"

The importance of food depends on its ingredients.  Vitamins are the most important of nutrients.  The word vitamin is derived from the Latin words "vital" (meaning essential) and "amines" (meaning life).

The first regularly discovered vitamin B-1 (Thiamine, Vitamin B1) was discovered in 1910, while the last discovered vitamin B-9 (Vitamin B9, Folic Acid) was discovered in 1941.  Many diseases such as beriberi, scurvy, pellagra, and rickets are caused by a lack of certain vitamins in the diet.

Importance of vitamins and their sources 

How important vitamins are for our physical health and which vitamin can be obtained from which food.  Its brief description is as follows.

Vitamin A (Vitamin A, Retinol)

The function of this vitamin is to keep the eyes, skin, hair, teeth and gums healthy.  It is found in milk, butter, eggs, green leafy vegetables and liver.

Vitamin B1

It is also called "thiamine".  It produces energy in the body by releasing carbon dioxide from glucose.  It is found in grains, milk, poultry, fish, liver, yeast, flour, legumes and lean meats.

Vitamin B2

It is also called "riboflavin".  It supplies the body with energy from carbohydrates, proteins and fats.  It is found in abundance in milk, grains, liver, lean meats, eggs and leafy vegetables.

Vitamin B6

It also has a name "pyridoxine". It plays an important role in the formation of some other proteins.  Makes lipids and red blood cells.  It is best found in whole grains, leafy vegetables and lean meats.

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)

It is essential for the formation of nucleic acids.  Red blood cells are also formed due to its presence.  It maintains the nervous system.  It is found in liver, kidney, fish, milk and animal foods.

Folic Acid (B9)

It is also called "Folate".  It is also essential for nucleic acids and some other proteins.  It plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells.  It is found in liver and leafy vegetables.

Vitamin B5

Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5, It is a molecule that is needed by the body by changing carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It is also necessary for the nervous system and the birth of certain hormones.  , found in leafy vegetables, liver, kidney and nuts.

Vitamin B3: Niacin

It is essential for reactions in cells that produce energy.  It is found in eggs, meat, liver and grains.

Vitamin B7

It is essential for obtaining energy and fatty acids from glucose.  Performs many chemical functions of the body.  Found in liver, kidney, eggs and leafy vegetables.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid)

It keeps bones, teeth and blood vessels healthy.  It plays an important role in the formation of collagen.  Collagen is a protein that supports body structures such as skin and bone.  It is abundant in leafy vegetables and fruits, especially fruits with a bitter taste.

Vitamin D (Calciferol)

It is very important for strong teeth and bones.  It is also very important for the absorption of phosphorus and calcium in the body.  Found in abundance in egg yolks, cod liver oil, milk and salmon.

Vitamin E (Vitamin E, Tocopherol)

It helps in the formation and protection of red cells and muscles.  It is found in cereals and vegetable oils and ghee.

Vitamin K (Phytonadione)

This is essential for blood clotting (otherwise it becomes difficult to stop bleeding from a wound).  It is found in abundance in leafy vegetables.

Home remedies to remove stretch marks

There are several home remedies to reduced or eliminate stretch marks

Causes of stretch marks

Stretch marks, occur when your skin changes shape rapidly due to stretching or weight gain.  These are not signs that there is a serious problem with your health. Both men and women can have stretch marks.  Pregnancy and puberty are two of the most common times in life to cause stretch marks.

There are many misconceptions about these marks.  The truth is that the strongest cause of stretch marks is genetics. According to research, women are more prone to them, especially those who are pregnant.

About 90% of pregnant women experience stretch marks or or scars on their belly. It is almost impossible to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy as hormones play a key role in the causes, although you may be bothered by your marks.  , but it is important to understand that these marks are harmless and for most women, they are a natural part of pregnancy.

According to experts, stretch marks can occur at any time when the skin is stretched too fast. During pregnancy, these marks begin to form during the second trimester, when the baby is growing fastest in the womb.  This causes the skin to become inflamed and scarred.

At first, a stretch mark may appear as a thin red or purple line on your skin that has a different texture than the surrounding skin layer.  After some time, most abdominal scars fade and gradually almost disappear

It is not possible to get rid of it completely naturally.  These are a type of scars that rarely disappear completely.  However, there are some treatments that can help reduce the appearance of these marks and help them fade more quickly.

Eat anti-inflammatory foods

Stretch mark inflammation can be reduced or eliminated by Eat anti-inflammatory foods like tomatoes, olive oil. Green leafy vegetables, like spinach, kale. Nuts like almonds and walnuts. Fatty fish. Fruits like strawberries, blueberries, cherries and oranges.

Because stretch marks are caused by inflammation in the dermis beneath the skin, and an anti-inflammatory diet can help reduce or eliminate inflammation and – reduce redness or swelling from stretch marks.

Vitamin A

Vitamins play important role, vitamin A is also known as retinoid.  Its use keeps the skin smooth and youthful.  These are used in topical cosmetic creams.

Using vitamin A extract alone, or taking a vitamin A supplement, can protect your skin's health and improve its overall appearance.  Eating certain foods, such as carrots and sweet potatoes, can also help you increase your vitamin A levels.

Usage of sugar scrub to rid off strach marks

Some people consider sugar as a natural microdermabrasion method.

According to dermatologists, it is one of the few clinically proven methods to eliminate stretch marks.  So this home remedy is a good tip.

Rubbing the sugar scrub on the skin will exfoliate the area.  To do this: Mix 1 cup of sugar with 1/4 cup of a softening agent, such as almond oil or coconut oil, mixed like wet beach sand.

Add a little lemon juice. Rub the mixture on the part of your body where stretch marks are present.

Repeat several times a week during the shower, making sure to rub the mixture in for 8-10 minutes.

Aloe vera

Although there is little clinical evidence of aloe vera as a stretch mark treatment, pure aloe vera pulp is a natural healing agent and skin softener.  It can be used as an ideal home remedy to get rid of these marks.

For this purpose apply pure aloe vera gel from the plant to your marks daily.

Hyaluronic acid

Collagen is the protein in your skin that allows it to keep its shape and look healthy.  As we age, collagen in our face and in our body decreases.

Collagen production can be stimulated with hyaluronic acid.  Hyaluronic acid can be absorbed by serum.

Coconut oil

Because stretch marks are caused by damage to the skin, and coconut oil helps the skin heal. Due to its healing properties, research has found its use in healing skin wounds.  It can reduce the time taken.

Applying coconut oil to your stretch marks every day can reduce some of the redness of stretch marks.  If you are not allergic to coconut oil, this oil is considered safe to use.

6 Ways to reduce belly Fat

Most people seem to have an intention that they will lose weight or try to look good by reducing their belly fat in some way, but most people fail to make this intention a reality.  The main reason for this is that people do not know the right ways to lose belly fat.  Apart from spoiling our appearance, obesity can also lead to heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Which is often very serious risk to your life .

Let's see how we can get rid of our enlarged belly:

1. Reduction in Carbohydrates

As the fat layer around the organs in the abdomen is mostly composed of carbohydrates, reducing their intake helps us reduce belly fat.  Refined carbohydrates such as white bread or sugar are even more serious, so complete elimination of them is extremely important.  According to some sources, avoiding refined carbs is enough to reduce belly, but some believe that the daily intake of carbohydrates should not exceed 50 grams.  It's up to you what you give more importance to, but cutting carbs is the key to getting rid of belly fat.

2. Think eating plan not diet

Choosing a healthy eating strategy is better then diet . The advantage of a low-carbohadrates strategy.

In general, a low-carbohadrates diet encourages you to consume less problem items, such as bread, bagels, and sodas, which are high in carbohydrates and sugar and low in fibre, and more high-fiber or high-protein foods, such as vegetables, beans, and lean meats.

3. Avoiding sweet items

Natural sugar consists of 50% glucose and 50% fructose, of which glucose is used by cells while fructose is stored in our liver.  Artificially produced sugar contains too much fructose which our liver cannot fully store and as a result it starts to accumulate in our stomach in the form of fat.  Therefore, the consumption of processed sugar should be avoided as much as possible and products that are rich in these types of sugars such as energy drinks or other carbonated drinks should also be avoided.  If you have a sweet tooth, try to use sugar from natural sources and don't forget to read the label on the packet when shopping.

4. High intake of protein

Whether it's weight loss or stomach protein consumption is essential in both cases.  Because protein increases our metabolism by about 400 calories per day and reduces our hunger cravings by 50%.  Also, consuming protein-rich foods like eggs, milk, or fish helps build muscle and reduces belly fat.

5. Use of fiber

Fibers are the indigestible parts of plants that our digestive system cannot absorb, so they also reduce the intensity of our appetite and provide protection against problems like constipation.  Fiber sources that also contain plenty of water are the most effective for weight loss.

6. Exercise

Exercise not only reduces our weight and belly but it has numerous benefits.  Cardio and aerobic exercises such as jogging, walking, swimming and cycling are most useful in reducing belly fat.  These activities reduce inflammation in our body, increase metabolism, and even relieve diabetes by significantly reducing blood sugar levels.  However, abdominal exercise is not effective in getting rid of fat but it keeps the muscles in shape.

In short, it takes time and effort to lose weight.  Make yourself beautiful again by incorporating the above information into your life.

Different Ways to control diabetes

With diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it as well as it should.

Diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy.

Your body breaks down most of the food you eat into sugar (glucose) and releases it into your bloodstream. When blood sugar goes up, it signals your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts like a key to let the blood sugar into your body’s cells for use as energy.

With diabetes, your body doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it as well as it should. When there isn’t enough insulin or cells stop  responding insulin too much blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, such as heart diseases vision loss, and kidney diseases.

In simply Sugar, which is called diabetes in the medical language, is the name of the condition arising from the presence of more than a certain amount of glucose in the blood.  It can be counted among the diseases affecting millions of people.  It is an age-related and potentially fatal disease.  The key to diabetes treatment is monitoring blood glucose levels within a certain range.  This quantitative level, called the blood sugar level, can be monitored with laboratory tests or with a device called a blood sugar level monitor.

If you or someone you love is suffering from diabetes, the following measures to treat it can be helpful in preventing the harmful effects of this disease.

Lose your excess weight

Avoiding fats from animal sources and processed foods

A major obstacle in the treatment of diabetes is the consumption of market foods containing fats from animal sources such as desi ghee, butter and banaspati ghee etc. and common fried items such as samosas, burgers etc.  Similarly, the use of canned foods also hinders the treatment of diabetes.

Benefits of Barley

According to recent research, the use of barley has been found to be very useful in the treatment of diabetes.  The fiber in it has the effects of suppressing appetite and lowering blood glucose levels.  Researchers say that consumption of barley also reduces the risk of heart and blood vessel diseases.

Use of slowly digestible starches

This type of starch is found in natural foods such as bananas, potatoes, whole grains and beans.  The reason for its effectiveness in the treatment of diabetes is that it cannot be digested in the small intestine.

Use of dry fruits

The use of dry fruits is also useful for the treatment of diabetes.  The fat in dry muon is unsaturated, so it doesn't clog arteries, and it contains a variety of proteins and minerals that reduce cholesterol, inflammation, and insulin resistance in anyone's body.  .  According to a study, adding 50 grams of almonds, cashews, cashews, walnuts or pistachios to your daily diet is beneficial for treating diabetes.

Uses of ginger

According to a recent study, ginger may be useful in the treatment of diabetes because it helps glucose reach the muscle cells and thus acts as a substitute for insulin.

Use of cinnamon

Preliminary results of an ongoing study at the University of California Health Sciences show that cinnamaldehydein, a chemical compound in cinnamon, increases the release and effects of insulin.  This is the reason why cinnamon is beneficial for treating diabetes.

Eat breakfast like the Nawabs

If breakfast consists of high-calorie foods and is eaten on a full stomach, and dinner consists of light foods, it proves to be an excellent recipe for treating diabetes.

Adopt a regular diet

Establishing the eating habits under a certain system is very helpful in the treatment of diabetes.  The best strategy in this regard would be to eat six small meals throughout the day instead of three large meals a day.

Food's journey through the digestive system begins in the mouth. It passes down the esophagus and into the stomach, where digestion begins. Next stop: the small intestine, which in the average person is more than 20 feet long. The small intestine further breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and sends them into the blood stream.

The remaining watery food residue moves into your large intestine, a muscular tube about 4 feet long. As undigested food passes through it, bacteria feed off the remnants. The wall of the large intestine soaks up most of the remaining water. Any undigested food that remains is expelled by a highly efficient disposal system.

Like all complicated machinery, the digestive tract doesn't always run smoothly. In some people, the problem is genetic. In others, the immune system mistakenly attacks the digestive system, causing various digestive woes. What we eat, and how we eat, can also throw off digestive health.
