সর্দি-কাশি না হলেও কেন রোজ নিয়ম করে নুন-জল দিয়ে গার্গেল করা জরুরি?

 কোভিডকালে যে দাওয়াইয়ের উপর সবচেয়ে বেশি ভরসা করেছেন মানুষ তা হল নুন-জলে গার্গল। বিভিন্ন গবেষণায় বলা হয়েছিল কোভিড থেকে বাঁচতে হলে টিকার পাশাপাশি নুন-জলে গার্গল করাই সবচেয়ে কার্যকর। এই পন্থায় ভরসা রেখে উপকারও পেয়েছেন মানুষ। তবে কোভিডের পর এই দাওয়াইয়ের কথা মনে রেখেছেন ক’জন? কেবল ঠান্ডা লাগা দূর করতেই নয়, নুন-জলে গার্গল করার আরও অনেক উপকার আছে। বসন্তের মরসুমে রোগবালাই ঠেকিয়ে রাখতে এই দাওয়াই বেশ কার্যকর। জেনে নিন, ঠান্ডা না লাগলেও কেন দিনে অন্তত এক বার গার্গল করা উচিত।

১) শরীরে পিএইচের ভারসাম্য ঠিক থাকে

গলায় ঘাপটি মেরে বসে থাকা ক্ষতিকর ব্যাক্টেরিয়াগুলির কারণে শরীরে অ্যাসিডের মাত্রা বাড়তে শুরু করে, যার প্রভাবে পিএইচের ভারসাম্য বিগড়ে যায়। কিন্তু এই সব কিছুই আটকানো সম্ভব, যদি নিয়মিত নুন-জল দিয়ে গার্গল করা হয়। এমনটা করলে অ্যাসিডের প্রভাব কমতে থাকে। ফলে পিএইচ ভারসাম্য ঠিক থাকে, যে কারণে গলায় উপকারী ব্যাক্টেরিয়ার সংখ্যা বাড়তে শুরু করে।

২) ফুসফুসে সংক্রমণের ঝুঁকি কমে

কেবল মরসুম বদলের সময়েই নয়, দূষণের কারণেও ফুসফুসে সংক্রমণ হয়। দিনে তিন থেকে চার বার নুন-জল দিয়ে গার্গল করলেই সংক্রমণের হাত থেকে রেহাই পেতে পারেন। সঙ্গে নানা ধরনের ক্ষতিকর জীবাণুর কারণে ফুসফুসের কোনও ক্ষতি হওয়ার আশঙ্কাও আর থাকবে না।

৩) টনসিলাইটিসের প্রকোপ কমবে

মাঝেমাঝেই কি টনসিলের যন্ত্রণায় কষ্ট পান? তা হলে নিয়মিত নুন-জল দিয়ে গার্গল করার অভ্যাস করুন। ব্যাক্টেরিয়া অথবা ভাইরাল সংক্রমণের কারণেই টনসিলে প্রদাহের মাত্রা বেড়ে যায়, ফলে যন্ত্রণা শুরু হয়। নুন-জলে গার্গল করলে জীবাণুগুলি ধ্বংস হয়। ফলে টনসিলাইটিসের প্রকোপ কমে।

৪) মুখের দুর্গন্ধ দূর হয়

মূলত দু’টি কারণে মুখে দুর্গন্ধ হয়। মুখগহ্বরে ব্যাক্টেরিয়ার সংখ্যা বৃদ্ধি পেলে আর শরীরে পিএইচের ভারসাম্য বিগড়ে গেলে একই ধরনের সমস্যা মাথাচাড়া দিয়ে ওঠে। এই দুই ক্ষেত্রেই ঈষদুষ্ণ নুন-জলে গার্গল দারুণ কাজে আসে।

৫) দাঁতের সমস্যা দূর হয়

নুন-জলে নিয়মিত গার্গল করে দাঁতের ক্ষয় আটকাতে পারেন। নুনে থাকে বেশ কিছু খনিজ, যা দাঁতের জন্য উপকারী। সেই সঙ্গে দাঁতের একেবারে উপরের স্তর, এনামেলের ক্ষতিও রোধ করে, সে দিকেও নজর রাখে। দাঁতের ব্যথা হলেও এই টোটকা মেনে চললে আরাম মেলে।

আপেলের ছোবড়া খাবো নাকি ফেলবো?

 Eating the peel of an apple instead of discarding it can provide various health benefits due to its rich nutrient content, including fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. However, there may also be drawbacks associated with consuming apple peels, such as pesticide residue and potential gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals.

Here's an overview of the potential health benefits and drawbacks, supported by scientific references:

Health Benefits:

Fiber Content: Apple peels are a significant source of dietary fiber, including both soluble and insoluble fiber. Fiber promotes digestive health, regulates bowel movements, and may help lower cholesterol levels and improve blood sugar control (Willett et al., 2019).

Antioxidants: The peel of apples contains various antioxidants, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, and carotenoids. These compounds have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers (Boyer & Liu, 2004).

Vitamins and Minerals: Apple peels are rich in vitamins C and K, as well as minerals such as potassium. These nutrients play essential roles in immune function, bone health, and electrolyte balance (Vorland et al., 2018).

Gut Health: The fiber and polyphenols found in apple peels can act as prebiotics, nourishing beneficial gut bacteria and promoting a healthy gut microbiome. A diverse gut microbiota is associated with improved digestion, immune function, and overall well-being (Koutsos et al., 2019).

Drawbacks:

Pesticide Residue: Conventionally grown apples may contain pesticide residue on the peel, which can be ingested if eaten without washing or peeling. Pesticide exposure has been linked to various health risks, including developmental and neurological effects (Mostafalou & Abdollahi, 2017).

Gastrointestinal Discomfort: Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating or gas, when consuming apple peels, particularly if they have sensitive digestive systems or conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (Lacy et al., 2021).

In conclusion, eating the peel of an apple can provide numerous health benefits due to its nutrient-rich content, including fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. However, individuals should be mindful of potential pesticide residue and consider washing apples thoroughly before consumption, especially if eating the peel. If experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort, it may be preferable to peel the apple or choose organic varieties when possible.

আম খাও ভুঁড়ি কমবে!

 Can mango aid in weight loss?

Mangoes can be part of a weight-loss-friendly diet due to their nutrient content, but their impact on weight loss directly is not well-studied. However, mangoes are relatively low in calories and provide essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, which can support overall health and potentially aid in weight management.

Here's an overview of how mangoes might contribute to weight loss, supported by scientific references:

Fiber Content: Mangoes are a good source of dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber like pectin. Fiber helps promote feelings of fullness, which can reduce overall calorie intake by decreasing hunger and preventing overeating (Alonso et al., 2015).

Low Energy Density: Mangoes have a relatively low energy density, meaning they provide fewer calories per gram of food. Consuming foods with low energy density, such as fruits and vegetables like mangoes, can help control hunger while still allowing for satisfying portion sizes (Rolls et al., 2004).

Nutrient Density: Mangoes are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, including vitamins A, C, and E, as well as various phytochemicals like polyphenols and carotenoids. These nutrients support overall health and may help reduce inflammation, which can be beneficial for weight management (Hassimotto et al., 2005).

Glycemic Index: Mangoes have a moderate glycemic index (GI), which means they have a relatively gradual effect on blood sugar levels compared to high-GI foods. Consuming foods with a lower GI may help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce cravings for high-sugar, calorie-dense foods (Atkinson et al., 2008).

While mangoes can be a nutritious addition to a weight-loss diet, it's essential to consume them in moderation as part of a balanced eating plan. Including a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains is key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
