This document discusses nutrition and healthy eating. It begins by debunking 5 common myths about dieting and nutrition. These include myths that all fat is bad, that eliminating carbs leads to weight loss, that healthy eating is too expensive, that skipping meals can help eliminate calories, and that low calorie diets are the only way to lose weight. It then provides tips for keeping a well-stocked kitchen, including stocking a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and lean proteins. Finally, it discusses the MyPlate guidelines for building balanced, healthy meals based on filling half the plate with fruits and vegetables and making at least half of grains whole grains.
you track your eating over time. Choose to eat lean proteins such as chicken breast, salmon, or tofu; a wide variety of green and leafy vegetables; as well as a selection of fruits and whole grains. Swap out unhealthy fats like butter for healthy choices like olive oil. Avoid alcoholic beverages, which are high in calories, and can also stimulate your appetite. Try eating several small meals throughout the day instead of a few larger meals. This will help keep your energy levels up and prevent you from getting too hungry. Also, drink plenty of cool water to stay hydrated, which can help keep you fuller longer. Avoid juice, soda, and other sweetened drinks. It is important to reduce your daily calorie intake, but don't eat fewer than 1200 calories a day, which can trigger your body's starvation response and slow your weight loss. Also, aim for a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise each day. Depending upon your level of fitness, you can get the exercise you need by walking, running, swimming, cycling, or taking a class at the gym. Mix things up with strength training. You don't need any special equipment – body weight exercises such lunges, squats, and push-ups can all help you get toned and burn fat. Find friends or family to work on losing weight with you so that you can support each other. With consistent attention to diet and exercise, you'll lose weight in a healthy, sustainable, way.

The truth about the raw food diet - You'll mostly be eating raw fruits, vegetables, and grains. The idea is that heating food destroys its nutrients and natural enzymes, which is bad because enzymes boost digestion and fight chronic disease. In short: When you cook it, you kill it. Some fans of raw food diets believe cooking makes food toxic.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

5 Dieting and Nutrition
Myths Busted
Forget everything you’ve heard about dieting and
nutrition as we bust 5 myths.
We all have one: A friend who seems to know all the latest fad diets
and weight loss tips and tricks. The fact is, however, that there are
many myths about how to go about eating and exercising. Here are five
common dieting and nutrition myths debunked.

Fact: Not all fats are bad fats.
Mono- and polyunsaturated fats are actually good for us. They can
help increase our good cholesterol, help our hearts and may reduce inflammation. The bad fats
you should eliminate from your diet are trans-fats and saturated fats. These are found in many
processed foods that contain refined sugars. Foods rich in good fats are found in fish and plantbased foods like avocados, nuts and seeds. Simple ways to increase good fats in your diet are:
• Cook with canola, olive or sunflower oil
• Add a handful of nuts or seeds to your meals
• Eat fish twice a week
Pregnant women are advised to eat eight to 12 ounces of seafood each week. A mother’s intake
of omega-3s has been associated with positives for her baby. It may help with brain and eye
development, for example. Just avoid tilefish, shark, swordfish and king mackerel. The mercury
content in these fish is not safe for pregnant women. Although white albacore tuna contains less
mercury, pregnant women should limit it to six ounces per week.

Keeping a Well-Stocked Kitchen:
Cupboard Basics
Keeping your pantry stocked with healthy foods is the first step toward building solid
eating habits.
Having plenty of healthy foods on hand is a great way
to build a foundation for good eating habits that may
last a lifetime. Do a pantry makeover and fill your
kitchen with ingredients that may help the whole
family develop healthy eating behaviors. Welcome
fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat or fat-free
dairy, seafood, lean meats and poultry to your kitchen
and pantry. Experts recommend including these food
groups in everyday diet.
Vegetables
Color and variety is key when it comes to vegetables.
Variety will not only add different flavors, but also
various nutrients. Try to stock vegetables in different
forms such as fresh, frozen and canned. Make sure to
buy frozen and canned vegetables without added salt or
sugar. Here is a selection of veggies to try:
• ark-green vegetables — spinach, broccoli, mustard
D
greens and romaine lettuce
Here are some tips on how to stock your kitchen to
help you get into a healthy eating routine.
• eans and peas — lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans
B
and pinto beans
Fruits
• ed and orange vegetables — red peppers, carrots,
R
sweet potatoes, tomatoes and winter squash
Have fruit on hand in a variety of forms: fresh, frozen,
canned, juice and dried. For example:
• Bananas
• Berries
• Melons
• Raisins
• Orange juice
• Apple juice
• Starchy vegetables — corn and green peas
• Others — green beans and onions
Whole Grains
Read food labels and keep an eye out for whole grains
such as:
• Whole-grain cereals and crackers
• Whole-wheat bread
