Research showed consuming animal sourced foods is an important means of addressing India’s glaring nutritional deficiencies, however the current government has been targeting animal sourced food which could have adverse outcomes. Demand for meat bans have been echoed recently in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and also in Karnataka where, going a step further, a demand has emerged for a boycott or ban on halal meat. “Meat bans take a toll on vulnerable communities but this seems to be of no consequence to elected representatives who have convinced themselves that they cater to a narrow religious or caste group. We need to ensure that availability of meat is ensured as it is a rich source of protein for the development and growth of children,” stated Dr Sylvia Karpagam, noted medical practitioner and public health expert. According to a recent Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) report, South Asia has the lowest per capita availability of meat (19g/day) and India is the lowest in any country (10g/day).

The Definitive Keto Meal Plan: An Exhaustive Evaluation

Introduction: The ketogenic diet has gained immense popularity in recent years due to its potential benefits for weight loss and improved overall health. The primary principle of the keto diet involves consuming low-carbohydrate, high-fat foods to encourage the body to enter a state of ketosis. In this article, we will delve into the ultimate keto meal plan, exploring its advantages, disadvantages, and providing an unbiased review of its effectiveness.

Pros of the Ultimate Keto Meal Plan:

Effective Weight Loss: The keto meal plan restricts carbohydrate intake, forcing the body to utilize stored fat as its primary fuel source. This metabolic shift can lead to significant weight loss, making it an attractive option for individuals looking to shed pounds.

Improved Blood Sugar Control: By minimizing carbohydrates, the keto diet can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. This aspect is particularly beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes or those at risk of developing it.

Enhanced Mental Clarity and Focus: Ketones, the byproducts of fat metabolism, are known to provide a stable and efficient source of energy for the brain. Many proponents of the keto diet report increased mental clarity, focus, and improved cognitive function.

Reduced Cravings and Appetite: The high-fat content of the keto meal plan can help keep you satiated for longer periods, reducing hunger pangs and cravings. This aspect may contribute to easier adherence to the diet and facilitate weight loss.

Cons of the Ultimate Keto Meal Plan:

Initial Adaptation Period: When transitioning to the keto diet, many individuals experience what is commonly known as the "keto flu." Symptoms can include fatigue, irritability, dizziness, and nausea. However, these symptoms are usually temporary and diminish as the body adjusts to the new eating pattern.

Restrictive Nature: The keto meal plan severely restricts carbohydrate intake, which can make it challenging to adhere to, especially for individuals who enjoy a wide variety of foods. The diet may require careful planning and preparation to ensure adequate nutrient intake.

Potential Nutritional Deficiencies: Eliminating or limiting certain food groups, such as grains, fruits, and some vegetables, can lead to a deficiency in essential nutrients, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is crucial to incorporate nutrient-dense, low-carb alternatives to mitigate this risk.

Review of the Ultimate Keto Meal Plan:

The Ultimate Keto Meal Plan offers a comprehensive approach to the popular ketogenic diet. It provides clear guidelines and meal suggestions to help individuals achieve and maintain a state of ketosis effectively. The plan's focus on whole, unprocessed foods ensures a nutrient-rich approach to weight loss and overall health improvement.

However, it is essential to note that the keto diet may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as pancreatitis or liver disease, should consult with a healthcare professional before embarking on such a restrictive diet.

In conclusion, the Ultimate Keto Meal Plan can be an effective tool for weight loss and improving metabolic health. Its benefits include potential weight loss, blood sugar control, mental clarity, and reduced cravings. Nonetheless, it is vital to consider the potential challenges and limitations associated with the diet, such as the initial adaptation period and the risk of nutritional deficiencies. As with any diet plan, consulting with a healthcare professional is recommended before starting the Ultimate Keto Meal Plan.

Zero appetites, medically termed anorexia develop as a complete lack of desire to eat, often signalling underlying health concerns. Characterised by a loss of appetite despite hunger cues, it can lead to severe weight loss, malnutrition, and compromised immune function. Causes range from physical conditions such as infections, hormonal imbalances, and digestive disorders to psychological factors like stress, depression, or eating disorders. According to research, around 0.9% of women and 0.3% of men will experience anorexia at some point in their life. It means that approximately 1 in every 100 women and 1 in every 300 men will develop an eating disorder.

Nutritional deficiencies - what your doctor doesn't tell you

So nutrition plays a huge part in health. Not just avoiding junk food dense in sugar and processed fats, but adding in specific nutrients that are heavily lacking in most foods in this modern day. Though this is not really something doctors bring up because (1) they are not taught a lot about nutritional in medical school and (2) treating symptoms with drugs instead of ending the health issue by addressing root cause is a lot easier and more profitable.

I've dealt with a lot of nutritional deficiencies. In most vitamins and minerals. I felt miserable and unwell. II didn't have anything serious, I just had a bunch of minimal/moderate symptoms when put together, just made me feel unwell and completely off. I had:

eczema

dry skin, hair, mouth, and eyes

cracked, chipped and brittle nails

hair was brittle and falling out

extremely itchy hands and lips which resulted in blisters (so painful I could not shower)

angular cheilitis

cracks on lips that would bleed

cravings for sugar and junk food

dental problems

painful period cramps

Most of these were managed or completely disappeared with frequent supplementation, a daily multivitamin, 5000IU vitamin D3 with K2, a tablespoon of flaxseed oil, and magnesium citrate.

I have never felt better. I've struggled with a lot of these and just felt much healthier after taking supplements. I know most doctors will say that you don't need supplements (I'm glaring at you Dr. Mike), but they've made a significant improvement in my health and life.

Thankfully I've had doctors who recommend good nutrition rather than relying on medication alone, but I'm going to continue taking these just for the sake of maintaining the current quality of my health. Potentially I'm going to do blood work and a mineral scan to check my intracellular and serum vitamin and mineral levels. So I hope those look good.

Mitigating the Most Common Types of Medication Errors

Based on a 2022 study, between 75% and 96% of older adults admit to often making mistakes with their medication. Medication mistakes are especially alarming due to age-related physiological changes, multiple chronic conditions, and polypharmacy (i.e., using multiple medications). This is why the value of medication management cannot be emphasized enough.

Sorry about the color mix up. I appreciate the reply and additional info! I guess bc I know nothing about peafowl (and the fact i dont breed any type of animal), I'm having a hard time understanding how being sterile would be unethical. I do somewhat get the shortened life span. I really would like to understand this, I just sometimes need stuff explained like I'm 5.

Up front, there's no "somewhat get" to a shortened lifespan being caused by a mutation in captive populations. If an animal is capable of living 20+ years (and some live 30+ or even 40+!) and some non-essential mutation is causing them to live 7-9 years, it's flat out absolutely unethical to breed that mutation, full stop, regardless of anything else going on. That's indicative of a MAJOR problem in their genetics. There's NO ethical reason to breed that because humans like how it looks. So, even without the sterility, these birds would 100% be unethical to produce.

The short answer on sterility is this: we don't know WHY they are sterile, but they shouldn't be, and that means something has gone wrong. When something goes wrong with an animal, and it's something genetic that can be passed on, the ONLY responsible and ethical thing for a breeder to do is to stop using that animal for breeding and closely monitor any already-produced offspring for signs of the problem, and likely not breed them, either.

The longer more complicated answer is this: sometimes it's possible to separate the problem from the aesthetic when it comes to morphs, like it was for cameo + blindness, but sometimes it's NOT, like it wasn't for spider + head wobble for ball pythons. In those instances, it's... difficult. Because you're LIKELY going to produce animals that suffer the same problem as their parent(s), in the attempt to separate the problem from the aesthetic, and sometimes that's ALL you're going to produce. As a breeder, it's your absolute responsibility to NOT release the offspring into the general population, where the problem may be replicated without control, and to keep or cull the affected individuals if the problem cannot be separated from the aesthetic, or AT BEST find them guaranteed pet-only homes that will NEVER breed them.

Sometimes the problem IS purely aesthetic or harmless, like it was for pied in peafowl, and sometimes it's not, like it was for vitiligo in peafowl. The problem comes when you ASSUME a mutation is the first, and treat it like the first when it's really the second. This has caused FAR reaching consequences in the peafowl community, and I'm sure in others, where now the autoimmune disease that first bronze had has been passed into genpop by folks who thought they were breeding a harmless new variation of pied. Hybrid animals are often sterile (not in peafowl though, hybrid cristatus-muticus birds are fertile) because of a mismatch in chromosome pairing numbers, and often that's harmless. So, in some cases sterility is not an issue because it's the expected result or is otherwise harmless... but in the case of peafowl, it's NOT an expected result and we don't know if it's caused by something harmless or not.

Some species, like mice and horses and cattle and dogs, genetic testing and DNA mapping done with millions of dollars has proven that while some stuff isn't purely aesthetic, it also doesn't cause harm to the animal in a way that affects quality of life or that can be adapted for in captive care. For example, in chickens, the frizzle gene causes curled feathers in single copy and an absence of feathers in double copy. This gene is considered ethical to produce IF the breeding is done responsibly by putting a single copy bird over a zero copy bird, which produces smooth coats and frizzle coats, but it is unethical to produce double frizzles (called "frazzles") because frazzles cannot thermoregulate, can easily sunburn, and easily suffer skin injury during normal chicken activity.

For peafowl, we have NO genetic testing. We do not have the genome mapped. As far as I know there's a research group working on it (mostly for green peafowl though, in conservation efforts), but that's not remotely finished or available to the public to test anything. We don't know where any of the morph mutations sit, or what is causing them or if they do anything beyond just change the color. Sometimes color mutations are the result of malfunctions in enzymes. For charcoal specifically, we don't know what the mutation does, besides what we can observe on the outside- the birds have half or less the lifespan of normal birds, poor feather quality, and the hens are sterile. Is the sterility harmless like it is in some hybrid animals, or is it actually a major organ failing? Is it the only major organ that fails due to this mutation, or is it just the first sign of their shortened lives? Is it some deficiency in something the birds need to be healthy? Does it hurt the bird? We don't know, but we do know the mutation and the problems (multiple, please do NOT forget that this is one OF MORE THAN ONE problems) can't be separated, and so until we do know why and whether it's harmless or not, the ONLY ethical response to seeing a problem in a major organ's function linked inextricably to a mutation in color is to not propagate that mutation. If someone wanted to fork over the millions it takes to sequence and map genomes and then determine exactly what is going on with peafowl, that would be nice and good, but I don't see that happening. When I win the lottery big, I'll be doing it, but til then we can only follow normal breeding guidelines

Also, to put this into perspective... peafowl mature sexually around 3 years old. They are chicks until the turn of the new year following their hatch. They are yearlings that year, and immature 2yo next year. They aren't actually considered fully grown until 6 years old, and should live another 14+ years. Charcoal birds die a 1-3 years after full maturity. Is it a coincidence that they fail to thrive shortly after full sexual maturity, or is it linked? Again, we don't know. We don't know if the sterility is fine or if it's just a symptom of something worse.

Even without the sterility, though, charcoal has enough issues it would be unethical. If it was JUST sterility, with no other deleterious effects, then maybe it would be different. But it's not.

#peafowl #asks #anon asks #as always please bear in mind that animal breeding is NOT the same as human reproduction ethics #and I ONLY deal in animal ethics #and honestly even if it was just shit feather quality then I would personally consider it bad breeding #I asked the only person I know who still has charcoals what their issues were and lord it is worse than I thought even #she's keeping/breeding only what she can keep herself #and experimenting with feeding regimens in the hopes of correcting a nutritional deficiency #that might account for the sterility #but so far after like 10+ years she's had no luck #so it's not likely #Like there are SO MANY perfectly fine and healthy morphs out there #there's NO reason to keep making this one #it's not essential to the continuance of the species #also to anon: I'm not mad at all this is just how i sound about my special interest #I'm glad you asked questions #I appreciate you seeking info

when i say i have daily headaches i don’t mean that i get a headache once a day, i mean that from the moment i wake up to the moment i fall asleep, i have a headache. i varies in intensity but it never goes away. and i feel like there’s a big difference that the people around aren’t understanding

#so far the response from my parents is that i need better sleep and i don’t eat enough / properly #i agree that i might be deficient in some vitamins and what not #but my lack access to nutritional food is not my fault #my therapist seems to think that it’s my anxiety and that’s how it presents itself #and so she’s referred me to a psychiatrist #but i’m hoping i get to a normal doctor before then to see if it’s anything else #i’ve been giving myself massages to see if it has anything to do with my muscle tension #and it’s far as I can tell it has no correlation #i’m not sure what type of headaches like this because where the pain is and how it feels varies a lot #It’s in my temples my forehead #it’s been in my temples my forehead my brow bone sometimes it goes down to my cheekbones #it’s also been in the back of my head sometimes it feels like it’s almost in the center of my skull #i’m not sure. I do know that coffee can make it worse as well as like sunlight. but beyond that I don’t know #moving to much ig #chronic headaches #mental illness #chronic illness

if i were a vampire and one of the homies had been feeling a bit sick for no apparent reason I'd be like "hey you want to me to give it a little taste?" and if they said "sure why not" i'd take a little sampling of blood and he like "oh bleugh. you are anemic as hell right now dude. and down on vitamin K too. stop skimping it on the leafy greens ."

I have only eaten yogurt, boxed mac and cheese, and microwave meals the last 3 days
