In nutrition, diet is the sum of food consumed by a person or other organism.[1] The word diet often implies the use of specific intake of nutrition for health or weight-management reasons (with the two often being related). Although humans are omnivores, each culture and each person holds some food preferences or some food taboos. This may be due to personal tastes or ethical reasons. Individual dietary choices may be more or less healthy.

Complete nutrition requires ingestion and absorption of vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids from protein and essential fatty acids from fat-containing food, also food energy in the form of carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Dietary habits and choices play a significant role in the quality of life, health and longevity.

Health

A healthy diet may improve or maintain optimal health. In developed countries, affluence enables unconstrained caloric intake and possibly inappropriate food choices.

Health agencies recommend that people maintain a normal weight by limiting consumption of energy-dense foods and sugary drinks, eating plant-based food, limiting consumption of red and processed meat, and limiting alcohol intake.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans is an evidence-based information source that policy makers and health professionals use to advise the general public about healthy nutrition.

Weight gain

1. Homemade protein smoothies

Drinking homemade protein smoothies can be a highly nutritious and quick way to gain weight.

Making your own smoothies is the best way since commercial versions are often full of sugar and lack nutrients. It also gives you full control over the flavor and nutrient content.

1.     Chocolate banana nut shake

2.     Vanilla berry shake

3.     Chocolate hazelnut shake

4.     Caramel apple shake

5.     Vanilla blueberry shake

2. Milk

We now know that this isn't the case. The creation of low fat and no fat dairy products has further added to the belief that dairy foods are fattening. But research shows that having enough milk, yoghurt and cheese every day, as part of a healthy diet, is not linked to weight gain.

·       Milk Is Packed With Nutrients

1.     Calories: 146.

2.     Protein: 8 grams.

3.     Fat: 8 grams.

4.     Calcium: 28% of the RDA.

5.     Vitamin D: 24% of the RDA.

6.     Riboflavin (B2): 26% of the RDA.

7.     Vitamin B12: 18% of the RDA.

8.     Potassium: 10% of the RDA.

3. Nuts and nut butters

Nut butters can be a good source of healthy fats, proteins, fibre, phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals. Including nut butters in your diet in controlled amounts can also help in keeping cholesterol levels under control. Since nut butters are high in calories, they might lead to unnecessary weight gain.

4. Red meats

Consuming red meat has been shown to help with building muscle and gaining weight. Steak contains both leucine and creatine, nutrients that play a significant role in boosting muscle mass. Steak and other red meats contain both protein and fat, which promote weight gain.

·       Red meats nutrition

An excellent source of high biological value protein, vitamin B12, niacin, vitamin B6, iron, zinc and phosphorus.

A source of long‐chain omega‐3 polyunsaturated fats, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, selenium and, possibly, also vitamin D.

Relatively low in fat and sodium

5. Salmon and oily fish

Like red meat, salmon and oily fish are excellent sources of protein and important healthy fats.

Out of all the nutrients that salmon and oily fish provide, omega-3 fatty acids are among the most significant and well known.

They offer numerous benefits for your health and help fight diseases

·       Salmon and oily fish nutrition

Oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines are said to help against cardiovascular disease, prostate cancer, age-related vision loss and dementia. It's a good source of vitamin D, protein, some B vitamins and selenium. It's also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, a type of fat that is good for our health.

Weigh loss

1.   Salmon and oily fish

Men who ate cod, salmon or fish oil decreased from 6.5 to 7.0 kg over eight weeks. The special feature of this study is that it suggests that a diet with lean fish with low omega-3 and high in fish protein gives the same weight loss as a diet rich in fish protein and / or omega-3 fatty acids.

2. Plant-based diets

Plant-based diets may help you lose weight. Vegetarianism and veganism are the most popular versions, which restrict animal products for health, ethical, and environmental reasons.

However, more flexible plant-based diets also exist, such as the flexitarian diet, which is a plant-based diet that allows eating animal products in moderation.

·       How it works:

 There are many types of vegetarianism, but most involve eliminating all meat, poultry, and fish. Some vegetarians may likewise avoid eggs and dairy.

3. Low-carb diets

Low-carb diets are among the most popular diets for weight loss. Examples include the Atkins diet, ketogenic (keto) diet, and low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diet.

Some varieties reduce carbs more drastically than others. For instance, very-low-carb diets like the keto diet restrict this macronutrient to under 10% of total calories, compared with 30% or less for other types (18Trusted Source).

·       How it works:

Low-carb diets restrict your carb intake in favor of protein and fat.

The Mediterranean diet is based on foods that people in countries like Italy and Greece used to eat.

Though it was designed to lower heart disease risk, numerous studies indicate that it can also aid weight loss (53Trusted Source).

4. The Mediterranean diet

The Mediterranean diet advocates eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, tubers, whole grains, fish, seafood, and extra virgin olive oil.

Foods such as poultry, eggs, and dairy products are to be eaten in moderation. Meanwhile, red meats are limited.

Additionally, the Mediterranean diet restricts refined grains, trans fats, refined oils, processed meats, added sugar, and other highly processed foods.

5. WW (Weight Watchers)

WW, formerly Weight Watchers, is one of the most popular weight loss programs worldwide.

While it doesn’t restrict any food groups, people on a WW plan must eat within their set daily points to reach their ideal weight (57Trusted Source).

·       How it works:

WW is a points-based system that assigns different foods and beverages a value, depending on their calorie, fat, and fiber contents.

To reach your desired weight, you must stay within your daily point allowance.

8 ways to investing advice for beginners by Warren Buffetts

MARKETPEDIA      Warren Buffett's best investing advice for beginners Warren Buffett, “When a person with money meets a person with experience, the one with experience ends up with the money and the one with money leaves with experience.” This was Warren Buffett’s response, on his 87th birthday, when asked about his best investment advice. He says that experience is the ultimate key to be a successful investor. However, what about those who are new to investing? What if you don’t have any experience? Well, fortunately you can learn from investors who DO have experience – investors like Warren Buffett himself. Take a look at these 8 proven investment tips from Warren Buffett: 1.Diversification isn't always a good idea Many good investors stress the importance of diversification. But Warren Buffett tends to disagree with the idea. Buffett says that diversification is for people who don’t know much about investing. An experienced investor should choose stocks on a long-term basis and should have faith on his/her investments. Some investors diversify their portfolios because they are afraid that any one stock might sink their entire portfolio; but, while doing so, it becomes much harder to keep track of the current events impacting each company. So, by diversifying, they might reduce the volatility of their portfolio, but at the same time they reduce their focus on individual investments. Buffett waits for opportunities to buy good stocks, and when those opportunities come his way, he takes full advantage. According to Buffett, “When it’s raining gold, put out the bucket not the thimble.” 2.Invest in yourself first "The best investment you can make is in your own abilities. Anything you can do to develop your own abilities or business is likely to be more productive." Warren Buffett says that the best investment one can make is on his/her own abilities. Most people are not going to make most of their money from the stock market. They’re going to make it from their careers. So, put yourself first. Buffett’s partner Charlie Munger had a similar thought. Munger’s secret to success: sell yourself an hour each day, and use that hour to make yourself better.       3.Trust yourself to be a successful investor Buffett says that the hardest thing is to trust your investment decisions. You always think that others are right and you are wrong. Instead, you need to study and believe in yourself. To be successful, you need to overcome the fear and not pay attention to what others are telling you. Accumulate knowledge and make investment decisions on your own to stand separate from the crown and be a winner.   4.Only make investments that you understand Warren Buffett says that many people think quite a bit before making any investment – and sometimes think TOO much. Buffett cautions that you should never invest in businesses that you don’t fully understand. He says that if before he invests in the stock of a company, he has to first understand how the company makes money and the main drivers that impact its industry in no more than 10 minutes. If he’s not able to understand it in 10 minutes, he moves on to evaluate another company on this basis. Most people can’t predict the next fashion trend among teenagers or whether or not a medicine will be successful in the market. Even if  you had more data than anyone else, it’s still impossible to predict the future with 100% accuracy. In situations that rely on an accurate forecast of the future, Buffett advises not to invest. If it’s complex for you, just look for other businesses to invest in. Buffet once said that out of about 10,000+ publicly-traded firms, he would like to invest in only a few hundred companies – before even taking valuation into account! 5.Make sure you choose the right news to focus on One of the best investment tips from Warren Buffett is to not put too much stock (no pun intended) into each and every news headline that you see. Buffett believes in the 99-1 rule. Most investors take actions based on 1% of the financial news they consume. Doing so, they quickly sell their stocks whenever bad news comes up – e.g. a company’s revenues have fallen by 10%. If the company in this particular example has been in business for, say, 100 years, then Buffett says that it’s definitely capable of withstanding such events. In other words, people often tend to overreact. 6.Buying a stock of a company is buying a part of a business Imagine you’re buying an ownership stake in the convenience store around the corner from your house. Automatically you’ll think about the competition, suppliers, prices, etc.  You’ll have to think both about the specific location as well as its competitive position in the market. Similarly, while buying stocks, you need to think about all these things – just as the people running the business do. When you buy a stock, you’re not just buying a piece of paper or a ticker symbol. Buying the stock of a company is buying an ownership stake in a BUSINESS. 7.Learn from your mistakes and move on You might be astonished to know that even Warren Buffett makes mistakes – big ones too. But he makes sure that he learns from his mistakes. Buffett advises keeping a record of the mistakes you’ve made so that you know what went wrong and make sure you don’t repeat them again. Buffett further says that you should share these lessons with your children and grandchildren so that they know what mistakes not to commit. 8.Don't be a day trader According to Buffett, the secret to getting a better return on investment is to buy a stock and forget about it. He believes in having a buy-and-hold mentality and insists on holding stocks for decades. There are two principles behind this: (1) if you buy a stock for less than it’s true worth, the stock’s price will eventually converge with its intrinsic value; and (2) if you buy a wonderful business, the value of that business will compound and increase exponentially the longer you hold on to it.  So, the patient investor will ultimately be rewarded if they hold on to their stocks for a longer time. For Buffett, time is the friend of a wonderful business. “If you aren’t willing to own a stock for 10 years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes.” He says that if you constantly buy and sell stocks, it’ll take away a significant percentage of your returns in the form of trading commissions and taxes. So, it’s better to buy great stocks and holding them for a long time.

PUBG IS BACK ?

 

TECHNOPEDIA       1.PUBG hints at India return with Microsoft       Azure deal Krafton Inc, the South-Korean company that owns PUBG Corp. has signed a deal with Microsoft that will let the PUBG parent host the game on Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform.

Krafton will also be working with the American tech-giant to introduce a verification process to ensure the storage of personally identifiable information of its players follow all appropriate requirements in all territories. While reports suggest that PUBG Mobile is planning a return to India with such cloud deals, others indicate that data security and Chinese ownership was only a part of why the app was banned. A report by TechCrunch noted that PUBG Corp. has privately informed some streamers that it expects the game to return in the country by year end. Some streamers are expecting an official announcement about the return as early as Diwali. Besides, Krafton has been working on rebranding the game to get around the government’s ban. The game developer previously said that it had localized its Indian servers before the ban. 2.MediaTek unveils Dimensity 700 5G chipset The new chipset features 5G carrier aggregation (2CC 5G-CA) and 5G dual SIM dual standby (DSDS).
