Fast food and junk food can negatively impact health in several ways. Junk food provides excess calories and fat but little nutritional value. Eating fast food more than twice a week is associated with increased risk of diabetes and weight gain. Junk food alters brain activity in ways similar to addictive drugs by desensitizing pleasure centers to require more food. A junk food diet while pregnant can increase offspring's preference for unhealthy foods later in life due to changes in brain development. However, omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil may help protect the brain from damage caused by a junk food diet.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

1. Introduction
Dashain and Tihar are two great festivals; celebrated in Nepal. Blessing, harmony,
peace and fun are bestowed in these two auspicious occasions all over the country.
Both the festival marks the happiness and represent our country as rich in culture
& tradition.
1.1 Dashain:
Dashain, which is celebrated during Sept-Oct., is the greatest festival of Nepal.
Known as DurgaPooja, it is the national festival and it is observed especially by
Hindus. The Goddess Durga is prayed for nine days during the festival. On this
occasion, the family members, who have gone outside, come home to celebrate the
festival. On the tenth day of the festival, youngsters take tika and blessings from
the elders. On this day, many people visit the Royal Palace to take tika from Their
Majesties the King and Queen every year. The first day of the festival is called
"Ghatansthapana" when people sow seeds of corn in a tiny vessel filled with clay
and water. The vessel is put in the prayer room. People pray to the Goddess Durga
every morning. They also visit different Hindu temples. It is believed that the
Goddess Durga, whose steed is a ferocious lion, was able to kill a Mahisasur
(buffalo). Her victory is symbolized as the defeat over evil.

1.2 Tihar or Deepawali:
Tihar is regarded as the second largest festival after Dashain in Nepal. The
festival of lights is celebrated for five days in November. People pray to the
Goddess Laxmi, the concert of Lord Vishnu during Tihar. The Goddess Laxmi
is also considered to be the main Goddess of wealth and good fortune. On the
fifth or last day of the festival, brothers take tika from sisters. The sisters also
offer sweets and other food items and cloths to their brothers. It is believed that
brothers become safe from death and other evils after taking tika and garlands
from their sisters during Tihar. During the festival, dogs, cows and oxen and
properties are also prayed.

8. Conclusion
Dashain&Tihar are the most auspicious festivals. They are also marked by reunion
of the families. People living abroad and far from their dear ones are set to return
back (at least they try to get back) home on this occasion. The festival gives us a
wonderful opportunity to be together with all our family members. One can't
ignore the significant socio-cultural aspect of this festival. Youngsters pay their
respects towards elders especially on the tenth day. They receive blessings of the
elders in the form of auspicious 'Tika' on their forehead.
Without religious discrimination either Hinduism or Buddhism even Muslims
celebrate happily. But some Nepalese people coming under the Christian influence
have been able to create illusions aiming at the people to boycott the great
festival. This is a matter of regret for our country.But the indigenous people from
broad tell that boycotting Dashain may not solve the issues they are raising today.
Many social activists are against animal mass killing in the name of goddess as
exhibition of animal cruelty, barbarism.
It has been very important issues on how we celebrate these national festivals, facts
to be considered for preserving them and lessons, we need to learn from these
festivals. Only enjoying donot mean to celebrate respecting, loving and caring ones
should be adopted and more celebrating each festivals with showing discipline can
be a significant.
