The Dhaka Times Desk Since we do not have any restrictions on food, this diet can be done at our convenience, so the popularity of intermittent fasting method is very high nowadays. However, there are things to keep in mind when doing intermittent fasting to lose fat.
We know there are many mantras to get slim. But who it applies to depends a lot on the person's physical condition. Many health conscious people of this generation rely more on intermittent fasting or time restrictive eating methods. The reason is that there is no special restriction on eating and drinking in this diet. Only 14 to 16 hours of continuous fasting should be spent. The rest of the time is the 'eating window'. Since there is no strictness on the food, this diet can be done at your convenience, so the popularity of this method is high. But there are some disadvantages of intermittent fasting. A recent preliminary study found that people who followed such a diet also had an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease, i.e. cardiovascular disease. But nutritionists say that everything has pros and cons. Knowing all those things should proceed only then. Also not all diets are suitable for everyone. So no diet should be done without consulting a nutritionist.
What should you keep in mind when doing intermittent fasting?
How long are you fasting?
The duration of daily fasting should be fixed. Fasting for 18 hours the next day because one day is a little less time - this should not be done. Just as the timing of eating is fixed, so should the timing of fasting be fixed.
Dining window
While there are actually no restrictions on food, when the eating window is open, the type of food you eat is quite important. It is better to eat low-calorie foods to control body weight. Foods that are high in fiber can be included in the diet.
Are you drinking enough water?
No matter what kind of diet you follow, drinking enough water is essential to maintain a healthy metabolism. Many of the dangers associated with intermittent fasting can be avoided if the body is hydrated. Source: Anandabazar Patrika Online.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
