[www.keralites.net] I THANK GOD FOR THE JOURNEY

I THANK GOD FOR THE JOURNEY
At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life.
Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum.
Others will go so unnoticed that we don't realize they vacated their seats.
This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are.
It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love. More importantly, thank God for the journey.
Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.
With Warm Regards,
M.D.HEGDE

[www.keralites.net] A sea of plastic: Shocking images show how bottles, bags and rubbish are choking our oceans - see to beleive it

Please stop using Plastic. A sea of plastic: Shocking images show how bottles, bags and rubbish are choking our oceans

One image taken near Roatan, an island off Honduras, shows diver grimace as he prepares to enter the water

Rubbish was probably washed into sea from nearby Guatemala, carried on rivers swollen by rainy season flowing through towns and villages

One ocean protection campaigner said it was the worst example of plastic pollution he has seen

Filthy: A diver grimaces as he prepares to jump into the sea covered with plastic rubbish near Roatan, an island off the coast of Honduras

Waste: Disposable cutlery and other rubbish trapped in seaweed. It is thought it was washed into the sea from nearby Guatemala, carried on rivers swollen by the recent rainy season

Dark waters: Another picture, taken from below the waterline, shows plastic bottles, bags and other rubbish on the surface blocking out sunlight

He pointed out that plastic gets broken down into microscopic particles that enter the food chain when plankton and fish eat them.

He added: 'It is thought that 90 per cent of sea birds have ingested some sort of plastic, and there are many examples of turtles and whales mistaking plastic for food.

'We all have a part to play in reducing plastic waste but manufacturers and government need to take the lead. It's a global problem which needs a global solution.'

[www.keralites.net] INSTANT NOODLES

Are instant noodles unhealthy?
Instant noodles are quick and easy to make and a hit with children. They are advertised as being 'wholesome' and 'delicious'. Some common claims are that they are 'made of whole wheat atta', contain 'added vegetables' and are 'fortified with vitamins and minerals'. But, our tests found out that their high salt and fat content make them an unhealthy option. Dieticians also say they have little nutritional value.
What we did
We lab tested nine popular brands of instant noodles, namely Knorr Soupy Noodles Mast Masala, Maggi Vegetable Atta Noodles Masala, Maggi 2-Minute Noodles Meri Masala, Top Ramen Super Noodles More Masala, Sunfeast Yippee! Noodles Classic Masala, Sunfeast Yippee! Noodles Magic Masala, Reliance Select Instant Noodles Masala, Prima Stella Instant Noodles Fun Masala and Foodles from Horlicks Ala Masala, for fat and sodium. We also conducted a taste test based on five criteria - appearance, smell, texture, flavour and aftertaste.
What we found
The tastiest instant noodle brands – Knorr and Reliance – contained the highest levels of sodium.
Maggi 2-Minute Noodles Meri Masala scored a respectable 72% on taste and had the least sodium and fat.
Sunfeast Yippee! Noodles Magic Masala might be among the top-tasting brands – but it was the highest in fat.
Foodles had the second lowest sodium content, did well in our taste test (scoring 74%) and also had relatively low fat content.
Did you know?
A serving of Maggi Meri Masala has about the same amount of fat as a bar of Cadburys Dairy Milk chocolate Knorr Soupy Noodles has as much fat as three packets of Lays Baked Original Salted chips
McDonald's McAloo Tikki has 840mg of sodium – around the same as Maggi Vegetable Atta Noodles and Top Ramen
Recommendations
Instant noodles are considered to be junk food. They contain too much fat, sodium and at times, MSG.
To make them healthier, you should add lots of vegetables. Avoid having them as main meals and eat them only once in 10-15 days. They should not be given to children below four years of age.

So fresh and so clean.

[www.keralites.net] This Pune Woman Natasha Diddee Doesn’t Have a Stomach. Yet She Is One of India’s Top ‘Foodgrammers’!

This Pune Woman Natasha Diddee Doesn't Have a Stomach. Yet She Is One of India's Top 'Foodgrammers'!

After completing her training as a chef, Natasha worked in the kitchens of several prominent hotels, restaurants and organisations in Mumbai. However, her hectic work hours and erratic eating habits had started taking a toll on her body.

About five years ago, when Natasha consulted doctors about a constant pain in her stomach, she was shocked to be told that it was due to perforated ulcers in her stomach. A laproscopy further revealed the presence of a growing tumour in her stomach. By this time, the condition had become life-threatening and Natasha had to undergo total gastrectomy (removal of the entire stomach) immediately.

"Dr. Suryabhan Bhalerao of Pune's KEM hospital saved my life by performing this very intricate eight-hour surgery. I owe him my life," says Natasha gratefully.

Natasha's life had been saved but it had also changed forever. Since she literally doesn't have a stomach, the food that she eats just 'drops down' her body and is excreted within an hour. As a result, she has to eat approximately 8 to 10 strictly-monitored mini meals every day to provide the required nutrition for her body.

Also, since Vitamin B is produced in the stomach, Natasha's body is deficient in it and suffers from a reduced memory retention power (as this nutrient directly affects the memory). As such, she has to get monthly shots of Vitamin B. Interestingly, the absence of a stomach means that the die-hard foodie never feels hungry, a fact that she finds pretty scary!

Natasha says that though there are days when her health begins to deteriorates, for the rest, she is on no medication and continues to heal herself through good food.

"Before my surgery, I was just existing like many of us do. Post surgery, I realised that I had been was gifted a second shot at life. That's when I decided that I was going to live, not just exist.

Soon, Natasha set up a Facebook group (named The Gutless Foodie for obvious reasons!) where she would regularly post pictures of her prettily-plated creations, along with the recipe and interesting back-stories. Fellow foodies, who joined the group, were also encouraged to share little-known recipes that had slipped from the popular memory.

In 2014, thanks to a friend who created an account for her, @thegutlessfoodie made its debut on Instagram and quickly became popular. For Natasha, there was no looking back after that.

Today, the popular 'foodgrammer' is known for her simple and super healthy recipes. From yam chutneys to dragon's breath baked chicken, each dish on her Insta-page looks spectacularly scrumptious yet has features that health-conscious people would appreciate.
