NEXT TIME YOU BUY A TOOTHPASTE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS

Mostly people read the labels when purchasing toothpastes, but not too many of them read what it says on the bottom of the package. It actually reveals something that is of crucial significance. It says if the paste has been made of organic or non-organic substances. There should be a red, blue, green, or black square which talk about the quality of the toothpaste. This is what the colors signify:

–          Black square at the bottom denotes that it only contains chemicals;

–          Red square at the bottom means that the toothpaste has been made of chemical and natural substance combination;

–          Blue square at the bottom means that the toothpaste contains only natural substances and drugs;

–          If the square is green then it means that the toothpaste contains only natural ingredients.

It is crucial for your health to preserve the health of your teeth, thus next time you purchase a toothpaste pay attention to the color of the square. If it is anything but green, then return it immediately. If you don’t want to open them there, you can ask an employee to help you with this. Blue square is OK, but the green is priority. In just the first week of usage you will notice a change. Your gums and teeth will be grateful.

प्रधानमन्त्रीले किन किन्न खोजे पानीजहाज?

‘अब पानीजहाजबाट सामान ल्याइन्छ,’ प्रधानमन्त्री केपी शर्मा ओलीले केही समयअघि यसो भनेपछि देशमै तरंग आयो। कतै समुद्र नभएको मुलुकमा पानीजहाजबाट कसरी सामान ल्याउने? भनेर धेरैले प्रधानमन्त्रीलाई उडाए। 

प्रधानमन्त्रीले त्यसरी बोलेको केही दिनमा सरकारले बजेट प्रस्तुत गर्यो। बजेटमै पानीजहाज सञ्चालन गर्ने सम्भावना खोज्ने लेखिएर आयो। ‘हाम्रो आफ्नै विगतको अनुभव र भूपरिवेष्ठित मुलुकहरूले समुद्र उपयोग गर्न पाउने अधिकारबमोजिम पानीजहाज सञ्चालनको कानुनी तथा संस्थागत तयारी गरिन्छ,’ अर्थमन्त्री विष्णु पौडेलले बजेट भाषणमा भने। 

प्रधानमन्त्री राजनीतिक सल्लाहकार विष्णु रिमालका अनुसार सरकार आफ्नै पानीजहाजबाट सामान ल्याउन उदेश्यका साथ अघि बढेकै हो।'प्रधानमन्त्री सपना देख्ने मानिस हो, उहाँले सुरुमा नीतिगत रुपमा कुरा ल्याएपछि बजेटमा त्यसलाई समावेश गरिएको हो,' उनले भने।  

‘बेफाइदा हुने वा रमाइलोका लागि हैन, सरकारले जे काम थाल्छ, त्यो गर्छ,’ रिमालले भने, ‘अर्को प्रधानमन्त्रीले त्यसलाई निरन्तरता दिने हो।’ 

रिमालका अनुसार हामी भूपरिवेष्ठित राष्ट्र हौं, हामीलाई पारवहन सुविधा छ। ‘कलकत्ता पोर्ट र विशाखापोर्ट दुई वटा ठाउँ तयार भइसकेका छन्। छिटो सामान ल्याउन सकियोस्, व्यापार घाटा कम होस्, स्वदेशभित्र पूँजी सिर्जना होस् भनेर प्रधानमन्त्रीले पानीजहाजबाट सामान ल्याउने कुरा गर्नुभएको हो।’ 

रिमालले सके आफैं किन्ने, नसके भाडामा पानीजहाज लिने बताए। त्यसको छुट्टै संरचना बनाउने वा कुनै विभाग (जस्तो रेल्वे)सँग जोड्ने भन्ने विषय प्रक्रिया अघि बढ्दै जाँदा तयार हुने उनले बताए। ‘पानीजहाजबाट सामान ल्याउँदा सस्तो पर्छ भन्ने हिसाबले गर्न खोजेको हो,’ रिमालले भने।

बजेटमा भनिएको पानीजहाज कम्पनी सञ्चालनका लागि कानुनी व्यवस्था नेपालले पहिले नै गरिसकेको छ। २०२७ सालमा यससम्बन्धि कानुन र २०२८ मा नियमावली बनेको थियो।  

पूर्व वाणिज्य सचिव पुरुषोत्तम ओझाका अनुसार रोयल नेपाल सिप कर्पोरेसन भन्ने संस्थान खुलेको २०२९/३० सालतिरै हो। नेपाल एयरलाइन्सकै ढाँचामा स्थापना भएको त्यो कर्पोरेसन पञ्चायतकालमै बन्द भएको हो। 

‘सरकारी कर्पोरेसन थियो, त्यसले पानीजहाज किनेको छैन, पानीजहाज किनेको  भए सञ्चालन हुन्थ्यो वा समस्या आए पनि केही न केही त हुन्थ्यो,’ ओझाले भने, ‘नेपालमा सिपिङ कर्पोरेसन चलाउने टेक्नोलोजी पनि थाहा भएन। काम गर्ने प्राविधिक नभएर बन्द भएको होला।’

ओझाका अनुसार पानीजहाजमा धेरै मुलुकको प्रतिस्पर्धा छ। भाडामा तिनीहरूले प्रशस्तै सेवा दिन सक्छन्। अहिले नेपालले आफैं किन्नुपर्ने जरुरत हो वा हैन पहिले त्यो स्पष्ट हुनुपर्छ। ‘ठूलो क्यापिटल इन्भेष्टमेन्ट चाहियो पानीजहाज किन्न त, सबै व्यवस्थापन गर्न सक्षम भइएन भने त्यो चल्दैन,’ उनले भने, ‘पानीजहाज किन्दा वा चाउँदा कति लगानी चाहिन्छ, त्यसको हिसाबकिताब कसैले राखेको छैन होला। अहिलेको प्राथमिकता हो हैन, त्यो प्रमुख कुरा हो।’  

पानीजहाज सञ्चालन प्रधानमन्त्रीले भनेजस्तो सजिलो पनि हैन। बजेटमा विस्तृत उल्लेख पनि छैन। अहिलेको सन्दर्भमा कम्पनी स्थापना गर्नुपर्यो। पार्किङ कहाँ गर्ने निर्क्यौल हुनुपर्यो। 

पूर्व अर्थसचिव रामेश्वर खनालका अनुसार पानीजहाजबाट सामान ओसार्ने भन्ने कुरा इज्जत प्रतिष्ठाको कुरा मात्रै हो। नेपाल एयरलाइन्सबाट कुनै सामान ल्याउँदा अरु जहाजमा ल्याएजस्तै महंगो किन हुन्छ भनेर सोधिएजस्तो हो। 

भूपरिवेष्ठित मुलुकहरूले आफ्नो ‘समुद्री जोन’ उपयोग गर्न पाउँछन्। त्यही जोनमा झन्डा राखेर नेपालले पानीजहाज कुदाउन सक्छ। समुद्रमा ‘मेरीटाइन जोन’ हुन्छ। यो १२ नटिकल माइल पछाडिको समुद्रको भाग हो। यो ठाउँ कटेपछि सबै मुलुकहरूको अधिकार लाग्छ। 

खनालका अनुसार प्रधानमन्त्रीले भनेको त्यही हुनसक्छ। तर यो सस्तो भने पर्दैन। ‘भारतले त सिपिङ कम्पनी नाफामा चलाउन सकेको छैन,’ खनाल भन्छन्। 

जानकारका अनुसार एउटा पानीजहाज पाँच लाख टन क्षमताको हुन्छ। यसले एक पटकमा पचास हजार ट्रकले ओसार्ने जति सामान ओसार्न सक्छ। त्यत्रो ठूलो पानीजहाजको लागत सस्तो हुने कुरै हुँदैन। 

‘एउटा जहाज किन्दा सोच्नुपर्ने मुलुकले यत्रो गाह्रो पानीजहाजै खरिद गरेर सामान ओसार्ने कुरा धेरै परको हो,’ खनालले भने।  

रोयल सिपिङ कम्प्नीको भारतको कलकत्तामा यार्ड थियो भन्ने गरिन्छ। ‘अहिले भारतले यार्ड दिन्छ दिँदैन त्यो टुंगो छैन। जहाज नचल्दाको अवस्थामा कहाँ राख्ने? यार्ड नै महंगो हुन्छ,’ खनालले भने।  

नेपालमा विदेशी ध्वजाबाहक हवाईजहाज पार्किङ राख्दा अत्यधिक शुल्क लाग्छ, त्यस्तै सिपिङ यार्डका लागि पनि महंगो पार्किङ शुल्क तिर्नुपर्ने खनाल बताउँछन्। ‘पहिले कुन सर्तमा सिपिङ यार्ड राखेका थिए, अहिलेको सन्दर्भमा भारतले यार्ड राख्न दिन्छ दिँदैन टुंगो हुँदैन,’खनाल भन्छन्, ‘फेवा तालमा अर्को एउटा डुंगा लिएर गयो भने त त्यहाँका डुंगावालाले ठाउँ दिँदैनन्।’  

नेपाल उद्योग वाणिज्य महासंघका उपाध्यक्ष किशोर प्रधानका अनुसार सबैभन्दा ठूलो कुरा के छ भने बजेट आयो तर एक किसिमको‘कन्फयुजन क्रिएट’ गरिदियो। ‘हाम्रो देशमा जुन जुन क्षेत्रे एड्भान्स छन् तिनलाई अगाडि बढाउने भन्दा नयाँ-नयाँ कुरा सम्भावनाको कुरा गरेको छ,’ प्रधान भन्छन्, ‘हामीले यस्तो सम्भावना खासै देखेका छैनौं।’  

उनका अनुसार कलकत्ता बन्दरगाह र विशाखापटनममा यस्तो सम्भावना छ। ती क्षेत्रमा समुद्रबाट ल्याउने सामान ल्याउन सकिन्छ। कलकत्ता र विशाखापटनममा भएको समुद्री क्षेत्र सरकारले प्रयोग गरेको छैन। ‘पचासौं वर्षदेखि छ, बजेट ल्यायो। सम्भावना छ भन्ने हो। यहाँ पोर्ट राख्ने हो भने पानीजहाज चलाउन सकिएला,’ उनी भन्छन्। 

आ-आफ्नो क्षेत्र प्रयोग गरेर विभिन्न मुलुकले पानीजहाजमा सामान ल्याउँछन्। ‘सम्भावना होला, तर हामीलाई जानकारी छैन,’ प्रधान भन्छन्। 

प्रतिष्ठाका लागि नेपाल एयरलाइन्सजस्तै पानीजहाज सञ्चालनार्थ संस्थान बनाएर सरकारले पानीजहाज सपना साकार पार्न सक्छ।  ‘पानीजहाजबाट अमेरिका, चीनबाट या अरु मुलुकबाट सामान भारत ल्याउने कुनै ठूलो कुरा हैन। पानीजहाज सम्झौता गरेर ल्याउन सक्ला,’ प्रधान भन्छन्, ‘ट्रकमा सामान हाल्दा ट्रान्सपोर्टरले कति भाडा लिन्छ, महंगो पनि पर्न सक्छ, सस्तो पनि।’ 

यो सबै पूर्वाधार तयार भइनसकेको अवस्थामा सरकारले पानीजहाजबाट सामान ल्याउँछु भनेको चाहिँ ‘वर्षातको पानीले ठूलो-ठूलो पोखरी बनाइदिएको हुन्छ, त्यहीँ कागजको डुंगा कुदाउने’जस्तो मात्र हुने प्रधान बताउँछन्। त्यसकारण सजिलोसँग बोल्नुपूर्व त्यसको इतिहास,अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय अभ्यास, वर्तमान अवस्था र सम्भावना सबै अध्ययनतिर ध्यान दिन प्रधानले सुझाव दिएका छन्। 

प्रधानको सुझावअनुसार संस्थान गठन गर्ने हो भने त्यसका लागि कानुन उहिल्यै बनिसकेको छ। त्यही कानुनलाई आवश्यक संशोधन गर्न सकिन्छ। 

पानीजहाज सञ्चालनका लागि पहिला पानीजहाज दर्ता हुनुपर्छ। नेपाली पानी जहाज दर्ता नियमावली २०२८ को अनुसूची-१ अनुसार नेपाल पानीजहाज कार्यालय चाहिन्छ, जहाँ व्यापारिक पानीजहाज दर्ताको दरखास्तपत्र हाल्न सकियोस्।

भौतिक योजना तथा यातायात मन्त्रालयका महानिर्देशक चन्द्रमान श्रेष्ठका अनुसार यो जल यातायात अन्तर्गत पर्यो। ‘जल यातायात हेर्ने नेपालमा निकाय छैन,’ उनले भने।

अर्थ मन्त्रालयका एक अधिकारीका अनुसार पानीजहाज सम्बन्धि प्रस्ताव मन्त्रालयबाट गएको थिएन। प्रधानमन्त्री आफैंले बोलेपछि बजेटमा त्यसलाई समावेश गरिएको हुनसक्छ। ‘पानीजहाजको सन्दर्भमा तपाईं जस्तो अनभिज्ञ हुनुहुन्छ हामी पनि त्यस्तै छौं,’ ती अधिकारीले भने। 

मन्त्रालयका प्रवक्ता मुकुन्द्रप्रसाद पौडेलले संसारका सबै देशको अधिकार समुद्रमा हुने भएकाले त्यसमा नेपालको हक नलाग्ने भन्ने हुँदैन,त्यसैको सम्भाव्यता हेर्ने भनिएको हो। ‘आपूर्ति सप्लाई भन्नेकुरा आपूर्तिको रोल हो, पानीजहाज कुन विभागले चलाउने हो, यातायात मन्त्रालयले हो कि,’ उनले भने। 

वाणिज्य विभागका एक अधिकारीले आफूहरूले त्यस्तो प्रस्ताव नलगेको बताए। ‘अर्थबाट गएको भए थाहा भएन, हामीले यसरी गर्छौं भनेर प्लान बनाएको भए म भन्थेँ,’ ती अधिकारीले भने, ‘बजेटमा आएको छ, कार्यान्वयनमा क्रममा आउला, प्रक्रिया बढ्ला।’ बजेट कार्यान्वयन सिलसिलमा कसले त्यसलाई कसले कार्यान्वयन गर्ने हो? पहिला त्यो निकाय प्रष्ट हुनुपर्ने उनले बताए। 

टुसा उमारेर गेडागुडी खानुका फाइदा

IF YOU WANT A FLAT STOMACH, STAY AWAY FROM THE FOLLOWING SIX FOODS YOU PROBABLY CONSUME DAILY

We all know that we can’t get a flat stomach overnight. There isn’t any blue or red pill that can help you with that. It’s a long term process, and you have to put a lot of effort in it. With proper exercise and healthy diet, you can reduce that stubborn belly fat. You should also know that doing the right exercises the right way is also very important if you want to lose that stubborn belly fat.

This is extremely important for you to remember – without having a proper diet and without any physical activities you can’t lose that belly fat. As we said, we all want to enjoy food, candies, cakes, etc. and at the end of the day we all want to have flat stomach and slim body figure. That’s not possible. This means that you should eat healthy and exercise more often.

1. Dairy Food

Many people think that the milk and dairy food are loaded with healthy nutrients and they can provide many different health benefits. But, you should also know that these ingredients cause gases and bloating, so you should avoid this food as much as possible if you want a flat stomach. In case you are really fond of dairy, go for yogurt instead of milk.

2. Processed Food, Coffee, Refined Sugar and Alcohol

Did you know that coffee and alcohol promote buildup of belly fat? Well yes, and the best thing you can do is to avoid these beverages if you are trying to get a flat belly.

3. Salt

We all use salt every day. Salt is one common ingredient that many people add generously to their meals and salads – to improve their taste. But, you should know that salt causes water retention in the body making your stomach bloated. Try to avoid this ingredient as much as possible.

4. Hot Spices

They say that hot spices are good for us and our health. But, you should also know that these spices often stimulate increased secretion of stomach juices causing discomfort and irritation. And you should also know that hot spices promote accumulation of fat in the stomach area. That’s why avoiding hot spices is highly beneficial in order to reduce belly fat.

5. Carbohydrates

We all love carbs and we eat them every day, right? Pasta, bread, sweets and other carbohydrate-rich food is detrimental for the fat-burning process. Instead, you should include more protein-rich food into your diet.

6. Say “Yes” to Fruit

Yes, we all know that fruit is loaded with fiber and fructose, which provide your body with a lot of energy, slow down your metabolism and keep you full longer. When it comes to belly fat, certain fruits are more beneficial than others. For instance, pears or apples will give your body more fructose which will slow down your metabolism. Citrus fruit, on the other hand, is more beneficial for reducing belly fat. So, if you want to get rid of the belly fat, you should avoid these foods. It will speed up the weight loss process and you will lose weight much faster. We really hope you find this article helpful and don’t forget to share it with your friends and family. Thank You.

Home Remedies for Gastritis

Main Causes of Gastritis

1. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria – Up to 50% of the world’s population is infected with this bacteria, although most people do not experience symptoms or even know they have it.[1] H. pylori can breakdown the lining of the stomach, causing gastritis and stomach ulcers.

1. Conditions related to vitamin B12 deficiency – Vitamin B12 deficiency results when the gastrointestinal tract does not properly absorb vitamin B12, most likely due to chronic inflammation (gastritis). Therefore, the conditions that cause gastritis are the same as those that cause vitamin B12 deficiency: celiac disease (gluten sensitivity), Crohn’s disease, recent stomach surgery, recent infection, poor nutrition, thyroid disease, or pernicious anemia, a form of anemia that occurs when the stomach lacks a naturally-occurring substance called intrinsic factor needed to properly digest vitamin B12.

1. Medication use – Sometimes, gastritis symptoms stem from taking medications that cause stomach problems or even stomach bleeding: aspirin, NSAIDs (ibuprofen or naproxen), prednisone, chemotherapy drugs, or others.

1. Acidic drinks, spicy foods and other food culprits – Drinks such as coffee, alcohol, juices with citric acids, and spicy foods such as hot peppers can cause exacerbation of gastritis symptoms. But, the real “cause” of gastritis is a consistent diet of food “culprits” (listed below).

Conventional Treatment for Gastritis

• Add 1 teaspoon of freshly chopped ginger root to 1 cup of boiling water. Cover and steep for 10 minutes. Strain, add honey and sip this tea slowly. Drink it 2 or 3 times a day for about a week.

• Alternatively, mix together ½ tablespoon each of ginger juice and honey. Take it before eating your meal 2 times daily for a week.

• You can even chew a small piece of fresh ginger root or take ginger capsules to treat gastritis.

While there are several reasons why a person could develop gastritis – chronic stress, an autoimmune disorder (such as HIV), fungal infections, acid reflux disease, etc. – there are 4 primary causes.

The conventional treatment for gastritis involves taking antacids or other drugs to reduce stomach acid. While these drugs work quickly to ease symptoms, chronic use of these medications can lead to severe problems, such as osteoporosis or a condition called hypchlorhydria (low stomach acid):

Home Remedies for Gastritis

Those who drink too much alcohol, older adults and people suffering from diseases and conditions like HIV/AIDS, Crohn’s disease and parasitic infections are at a higher risk of getting gastritis. Viral or fungal infections and stress can also be contributing factors.

Mild cases of acute gastritis usually clear up within a few days. Plus, you can try simple home remedies along with lifestyle and diet modifications to prevent and control the problem.

However, if you suffer from chronic gastritis and experience a lot of discomfort, it is advisable to consult your doctor as it can lead to ulcers.

Ginger

Ginger can also effectively treat gastritis due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It can reduce inflammation and treat the infection as well as alleviate symptoms like stomach pain, gas, indigestion, nausea and bloating.

Note: Ginger may interfere with blood-thinning and high blood pressure medications.

5 Mistakes Skinny Guys Make When They Try to Build Muscle

1. Not having a plan

First of all, you need to have a strategy. You can’t just walk into a gym, having no clue what to do and expect your gut to show you the way – this will only bring you frustration. Not only that you must have a plan, you will also need to stick to it for a long period of time if you want to achieve anything. Jumping from one thing to the next will only slow down your progress. So choose a program and stick to it.

2. Being unrealistic

The second rule of this game is: don’t expect miracles to happen overnight. You will need a lot of patience, because your muscles can’t reach maximum growth in a month or two, no matter what you do. Forget about all ads, tips and advice that tell you otherwise – they only want your money. If you want to build muscle on a natural way, the truth is that you can’t put on more than 1-2 pounds of muscle per month. And that applies to optimal conditions, i.e. eating the right amount of food and having an adequate exercise plan.

3. Not eating enough

This is one of the main reasons why hardgainers struggle so hard with making progress. You want to gain weight? Eat more. And more. And more. If you’re still not getting bigger, eat even more.

You’re probably wondering what’s the best diet to put some real meat on your bones? Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to bodybuilding nutrition. You’ll have to take your time to find out what works best for you. But, there are the general rules:

– Don’t use shock tactics in terms of huge calorie increases. Instead, increase the intake of calories in a slower, controlled manner.

– Your diet should consist of 50% protein, 35-40% carbs and 10-15% fat.

– Get the most of your calories from real, wholesome high-quality food and use supplements only when necessary.

– Make an eating schedule and stick to it to make sure you don’t miss a meal.

4. Going too slow or going too fast

Your body adapts to the work you’re loading it with, so you need to constantly challenge it to work harder and rebuild stronger by introducing more repetitions or increasing the weight. Your training isn’t supposed to become comfortable. Instead, it should be increasingly more difficult to stimulate muscle growth. Keep pushing yourself to your limits, but do it in a safe way. Overzealousness can destroy you – if you try to do too much in hope for a faster progress, you’ll increase your risk of injury and this will cost you a lot. Taking a month off the gym to recover from acute injury can bring you back where you’ve started, so learn to be patient and make your progress sustainable by slowly increasing the challenge and pushing yourself just a little bit more every time you pick up the bar.

5. Not allowing your body to recover

If you don’t allow your body enough time to rest and recover, it can not regenerate and rebuild. It is during sleep that the growth hormone levels reach their peak, and the broken down muscles are able to heal and recover. This makes resting a crucial component of getting bigger, so don’t underestimate it.

Without proper recovery, you’re also more likely to reach a performance plateau and increase your risk of injury and overtraining. The point is: you will never achieve real growth without getting enough sleep – and we’re talking about eight hours of it every single night.

Remember: getting huge requires discipline and hard work. The five mistakes mentioned above have compromised the efforts of many guys before you, so make sure to take them into account. Eat big, lift heavy, get enough sleep and don’t deviate from your plan until you’ve reached your goal.
