The Dhaka Times Desk In recent times, there is an increasing tendency among the young generation to eat protein-rich foods instead of carbohydrates. But eating too much protein can also exacerbate other problems.
Protein is necessary for proper functioning of the body. Protein plays a substantial role in weight loss and muscle building. Therefore, in recent times, the trend of eating protein-rich food by excluding carbohydrates is increasing among the young generation. However, many people say that eating too much protein will increase the problem of constipation! Is this really true?
In this regard, Indian net influencer and nutritionist Pooja Bhave said that there is no direct association between protein and constipation. But if there is a lack of fiber while eating more protein, then it is difficult. A diet consisting of only fish, meat, eggs or milk can lead to a lack of fiber in the body. So there is a need to eat foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains along with protein. Such foods help in controlling the problem of constipation.
How much protein does the body need?
In this regard, nutritionists say that 15 to 20 percent of the total calories required for proper functioning of the body should be protein. Eggs, fish, milk can be consumed to meet protein requirements. But for those who do not eat non-vegetarian food, it becomes quite difficult to meet the protein deficiency. Vegetable protein is good for the body. However, the amount of amino acids normally found in non-vegetarian foods is absent in vegetarian foods. Especially those who exercise, they need protein. However, the amount of protein needed by the body will depend on the person's work style and food preferences. Eating more protein than the prescribed amount can lead to constipation or digestive problems, experts have suggested. 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
