The Dhaka Times Desk When many people sit down to eat, they finish eating within five minutes. But unknowingly they are doing great damage to the body. What problems can this habit cause?
Are you in too much of a hurry? Thinking, you have to eat quickly and run, so somehow finish the food in short time. Go to the office but there is no peace! While eating, the meeting was called, there too he ran after swallowing the food somehow. This practice is not at all good for health.
When many people sit down to eat, they finish eating within five minutes. Unknowingly they are doing great damage to the body. If the food is not chewed properly, the body cannot absorb the full nutritional value of the food. In particular, most of the vitamins in food are wasted due to this practice. Also, the more times you chew food, the more it breaks down and mixes with saliva. The harmful germs in it will then also die. Otherwise, the risk of bacterial infection in the stomach may increase.
Many people suffer from gas and indigestion throughout the year. Fast eating habits can also be the reason behind this. If you just swallow the food without chewing it well, the body does not understand how to digest the food. Various types of symptoms like flatulence, gas, constipation arise from the disturbance of digestion. So you have to take your time when eating. Do not play in haste.
Apart from this, it is important to chew food to keep weight under control. Chewing food for a long time increases metabolism. After eating for a long time, the stomach feels full. So the tendency to overeat also decreases. By chewing the food properly, its taste can also be enjoyed. So eat slowly and enjoy the taste of food, then your body will be strong and your mind will be good. 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
