The good yummy Indian breakfast

Breakfast- The most important meal of the day.

Despite the healthful benefits, breakfast may be the meal that is most often neglected or skipped. Eating breakfast not only aids in weight management, it fuels the body to help provide energy, better concentration and problem-solving ability throughout the day,

 

Why breakfast?

Breakfast is the first chance the body has to refuel its glucose levels, also known as blood sugar, after eight to 12 hours without a meal or snack. Glucose is essential for the brain and is the main energy source. Blood glucose also helps fuel the muscles needed for physical activity throughout the day.

Breakfast is also very important for weight loss and weight management, You 'break the fast' of not eating for the past eight to 12 hours. It helps curb your hunger and prevent binge eating later in the day. Breakfast is important to manage your weight and potentially lose weight by eating less calories throughout the day.

In India, there are varieties of breakfast items available which are nutritious and provide the required amount of energy to sustain throughout the day. Breakfast foods differ from region to region. Let us review some of the common breakfast items.

·                     Oats with milk and fruits – Oats is gaining lots of popularity these days owing to its high content of soluble fibre and its benefit in reducing cholesterol in the body. So oats with skimmed milk and fresh fruits are a very good option especially for those who are on a weight reduction diet.

·                     Idli and dosa – made from rice and pulse, it gives good amount of energy and proteins and if had with Vegetable sambar, it contributes to vitamins and minerals.

·                     Upma – there are varieties of upma prepared, most of them with semolina which is energy rich. However Upma prepared with broken wheat and vegetables is very nutritious because of its fiber content.

·                     Corn/Rice/Wheat flakes – Corn flakes are very popular breakfast item. Now a days you have variety of them availble in the market which is fortified with calcium/Iron or Vitamins. It is very nutritious when taken with skimmed milk and fresh fruits.

·                     Sandwiches – prepared with vegetables/shredded chicken and brown bread is a complete breakfast food containing all the vital nutrients and of course fibre. For those people who are looking to lose weight, cheese or mayonnaise should be avoided.

·                     Bread omlet – is a high protein breakfast food and very much recommended especially for children, atheletes and those who are looking to build muscles. However people with cholesterol or any heart problems should prepare the omlet only with egg white

·                     Stuffed parathas – if prepared with less oil, parathas are very nutritious and an ideal breakfast item. The stuffing can be anything ranging from potatoes, raddish, cauliflower, sprouted green gram(moong), paneer (prepared from skimmed milk) and so on.

Some common methods of hair removal with pros and cons

Everyone is usually born with hair or the ability to grow hair…ultimately if born bald hair will grow. We have hair all over our bodies in both good and bad places. When we have hair in places we really do not want it, we have to decide which method of hair removal we want to use. Some methods are more painful then others, as many women already know.

Followings are the some pros and cons of hair removal

Waxing 
definition: Spreading heated wax over the area where you want hair removed, letting it dry, then pulling it off--hair, roots and all. The most common wax job is a bikini wax, especially in bathing suit season.


frequency: Lasts four to six weeks.

cost: If you do it at home, not much more than depilatories or bleaching, but having it done by a pro can cost almost the same as a haircut at a beauty salon. $$ - $$$$

pain: Sort of like ripping an adhesive bandage off a large area of skin. Some redness and irritation can follow. 

pros: Removes hair for anywhere from two to six weeks.

cons: Ripping hair out by its roots with hot wax is very painful. Having it done professionally can be expensive. (Note: Also ask about "sugaring" and "threading," which operate on the same basic principle as waxing.)

tip: Some people like to use a loofah or other abrasive sponge between waxing sessions to avoid the development of "ingrown hairs."

Plucking 

definition: Pulling hair out one by one with a pair of tweezers.

frequency: As needed. Once you tweeze a hair, it's gone for a good month, but others grow nearby.

cost: If you do it yourself, nothing, once you've bought the tweezers. $

pain: Hurts for a second or two, especially in sensitive areas.

pros: You do it yourself (you control cost, the extent and whether or not to continue doing it).

cons: It can hurt at the time. It's only temporary. 

Laser hair removal

definition: Invented in 1995, laser hair removal involves waxing first to remove hair, then rubbing a carbon-based lotion on the skin, then passing a laser over the area. Follicles are damaged, but not the skin. It is said to work best for people with light skin and dark hair.


frequency: Results are not permanent, but they are long-term.

cost: Very expensive. Price varies according to the area being treated, but most treatments will cost at least a thousand dollars. $$$$$$

pain: Less painful than electrolysis, except to the wallet.

pros: Near-permanent hair removal.

cons: Thousands of rupees so you won't grow hair. An inexperienced technician may burn your skin.

Depilatory 

definition: A cream or gel that you put on the area where you want hair removed. It burns, melts and otherwise damages the hair roots. Then you wash the stuff off along with your hair..

frequency: Lasts a couple of weeks to a month.

cost: Not prohibitive. Buy a reputable product at your drugstore. $ $

pain: Can burn or irritate sensitive areas. (Always follow the directions carefully, and use only on the recommended parts of your body.)

pros: You do it yourself and the result is a very smooth, hairless area that lasts longer than shaving.

cons: It can burn or leave sensitive skin red. It smells bad, even the stuff labeled "fresh scent." It can be a severe skin and eye irritant, and dark-haired users may have a visible "shadow" of hair under the skin.

Bleaching 

definition: Chemically lightening the color of hair. 

frequency: Depends on how fast your hair grows; usually lasts about a month. Repeat when hair becomes two-tone.

cost: Slightly more than depilatories. Buy a name brand. $ $ 

pain: Can cause some irritation in sensitive areas. Might be wise to test it on some less visible area first.

pros: Doesn't involve removing the hair, so you don't have to deal with how the hair will come back (no stubble, just dark).

cons: It is a chemical, so the skin may get irritated. It doesn't remove the hair, so if there is a lot of it, even if it is blond, it may be visible. May actually make hair more visible against dark skin.

Shaving 

definition: Using a razor to cut off hair right at the skin.

frequency: Daily to weekly depending on how fast the hair grows. (Can be done less often in winter).

cost: Just the cost of razors and cream or soap. $ $

pain: None, if you don't cut yourself. But can cause some irritation.

pros: You do it yourself anytime.

cons: Once you start shaving, hair comes back nubby and potentially thicker. Can cause ingrown hairs. Razor burns, shaving nicks and other razor mishaps can also cause discomfort. 

Electrolysis 

definition: A qualified practitioner inserts a filament, or long thin needle, into each individual hair follicle and zaps it with an electric current. This is the only permanent, or nearly permanent, method of hair removal. It's used mostly for facial hair.

frequency: To remove, say, a mustache, usually requires weekly visits for a few months (because new hair grows all the time); then you can taper off with touch-up visits.

cost: Expensive. Probably several hundred dollars for a mustache; less if you're just having a few stray whiskers removed. $$$$$

pain: No picnic, but not as bad as a hard day at the dentist. Helps to take ibuprofen or another pain reliever about a half hour before. There are also creams that you can rub on your skin to temporarily numb the area.

pros: Hair removal is eventually permanent.

cons: Each session is very expensive, the treatment is fairly painful, and you need to find a good practitioner in order for the work to be permanent and to avoid slip-ups that can cause scarring.

Trimming 

definition: Using scissors to cut unwanted hair (like pubic hair that hangs out of your bathing suit).

frequency: As needed.

cost: Nothing, once you have the scissors. $

pain: None.

pros: You do it yourself, and it doesn't hurt.

cons: Though it reduces the length of the hair, it doesn't remove it from sight.

cons: Each session is very expensive, the treatment is fairly painful, and you need to find a good practitioner in order for the work to be permanent and to avoid slip-ups that can cause scarring.
